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 678 of the Potter's cast. Welcome to the show. And I'm sure many of you were hoping that by the

end of last episode, like on Tuesday evening, which, you know, this episode was released on,

this one's being released on the 5th of November. And we had the other one, Tuesdays, was on the

third. And we would have thought

that when we went to bed, we would probably know when we woke up in the morning who in the

United States was going to be the next president. And good night. Here we are. Here we are. And we're

still wondering who that person is going to be. Hopefully, the person

you wanted in is in. There you go. That's important to people here in United States, but I know that

this is not a just a United States show. This is a global show, and so we won't spend any more

time talking about it. So there you go. I do want to talk

about an episode that we had a couple of days ago. It was specifically two weeks ahead of this one,

like the 22nd of October, we had Christian Morris on the show. And the reason I'm bringing that

up is that on iTunes, we had a review from someone named

Jen PolbreTech, something like that. Anyhow, Jen, we'll just say Jen, wrote a five-star review

and titled it saying, Build a Better You, Christian Morris, which was the name of that specific episode,

and that Christian Morris did. And this is what Jen went on to write. She said, all my heart

goes out to the kids like Christian. I totally identified with Christian, not believing in

himself in school. I was this kid in school too, and it's awful.

It wasn't until college that I discovered myself and a big reason I am a high school ceramics

slash art teacher. As frustrating as the system is, the politics, the funding cuts and dot, dot, dot, I hope to help kids find value in themselves, artists and non-artists alike.
