This is the Potter's Cast, a podcast home for potters everywhere. It's a community of potters

dedicated to grow their business. We're picking up where the art degree ends. I'm your host,

Paul Blaze. And it is episode number of 535 of the Potter's cast. Welcome to the show. I am back,

fresh and ready to go. When I say I'm back,

I'm back from vacation. My wife and I had our 30 year anniversary. And wow, we took the time off last week. And so like everything we had last, like two episodes from last week, you know,

I had, you know, had to work a couple weeks ahead of time to be able to get all the show notes done and get the show recorded it and done.

So usually I'm doing it like the day before.

Like this is, this is right now specifically Monday afternoon getting the show together for tomorrow.

And anyhow, we had just a great time.

I went down to the ocean, Pacific City, down on the Oregon coast. show together for tomorrow. And anyhow, we had just a great time.

Went down to the ocean, Pacific City, down on the Oregon coast and stayed there.

And we got to look out our hotel room and watch the whales playing in the water.

And it was beautiful.

Plus, it's the place where these boats take off from shore. It's one of the few places

where they do dory launches, which are little flat bottom boats, motorized boats that take off

from there and do fishing. It was really cool, really cool. So yeah, yeah, good times. Good times. We also

have taken on a new project here at the house at the world headquarters of the potters cast and we are replacing

all the floors which is just a ton of fun ton of fun and that's just the floors downstairs so yeah

i'm having fun doing that pulling up the old carpet putting in the new flooring it's going to be awesome

when it's done you know i'm sincere when i say it's a ton of fun it's a lot of work but it's also really fun it means i'm going to be awesome when it's done. You know, I'm sincere when I say it's a ton of fun. It's a lot of work, but it's also really fun. It means I'm going to be in the house on all my spare time and probably not in the studio quite as much as I want to be. You know, it's still getting out there, but not as much as I want to be. You know how that is. Anyhow. But I'm excited about today's guests. We've got Julia Kaufman on as a guest today.

Oh my gosh.

I think in the story or in our episode, I tell the story about how I found her.
