I don't want to be one of those people who doesn't know victory and who doesn't know defeat

0:04.1

because I never put myself in a position to know either.

0:11.1

Welcome back to the midweek modern craftsman.

0:13.5

I apologize for no midweek last week for no main podcast last week.

0:18.8

As fate may have it, we're both out in Cleveland recording some

0:23.1

content. I was working. So I work with Fine Home Building, who works with Locktite, who works

0:27.7

with Habitat for Humanity. And I've been out more than a few times the past couple of years.

wrestled growing up, and the youth

1:30.6

program practiced in the high school wrestling gym. So this quote was on the walls from the time I was

1:37.7

in third, fourth grade, until I was a senior in high school. Don't know if it's still there or not,
