Sewing is one of the most vital but also one of the most overlooked human crafts. Every piece of clothing we wear has been put together by someone who has learned to sew. Millions of people sew for pleasure and millions more earn their living in the textile and clothing industries – often in underpaid and unprotected jobs.    The craft of using a needle has been one of humanity's greatest skills, ever since this tiny piece of technology came into use around 60,000 years ago. It is something that unites us all as human beings, regardless of ethnicity, religion or geography. For most of time, sewing as a skill was passed from generation to generation. But, in the last few hundred years, as textiles and thread have been produced in abundance, how we learned to sew became a political matter. Governments, churches, politicians, and corporations all had a view on the morality and the methods necessary to turn out the ideal needlewoman.   This episode of Haptic & Hue tells the little-known story of how two separate sewing schools on different sides of the Atlantic gave women all over the world a new life of economic independence, social status and personal power.  One of these education programmes took the Singer sewing machine into every corner of the globe. The other, a ground-breaking teacher training college in London, had an impact on the lives of millions of girls all over the world.   For more information, a full transcript and further links, https://hapticandhue.com/tales-of-textiles-series-5/

"Our craft is making snowboards with Winterstick snowboards. Winterstick is the oldest snowboard company in the world. It was started in 1972 by Dimitrije Milovich out in Salt Lake City and for the last 23 years, we've run our business out of Maine. I came on about six and a half years ago and I've always been a lifelong snowboarder. I've based my whole education and life around snowboarding. Somehow I ended up in a position where I actually get to design and make snowboards," said Rob Lu, President of Winterstick.Rob had quite the career journey in getting into the position he is in today. He studied Mechanical Engineering and wound up working for a government contractor before heading up to Maine to work for Winterstick. "I think it was about 2015 or so they were talking with Seth Wescott, who's a Maine snowboarding legend, two-time gold medalist in snowboarding, and longtime Sugarloafer and they were talking to him about wanting to help out the Carrabassett Valley, bring jobs back to the valley and make better snowboards. They brought Seth on as one of the owners of Winterstick. We secured the manufacturing location here at Sugarloaf through Seth's connections with the mountain. We were able to start making our own boards again, six and a half years ago. Since then we've been working here to keep the manufacturing going make it better and better and continue to improve our craft of making snowboards," said Rob.They have continued to innovate their styles yet keep their traditional board alive."We have about ten models of snowboards that are what we sell as our inventory boards. But we also offer customizations on all of those models. Then we also offer customizations to a fully custom board depending on the needs of the customer. For our in-stock models, we have everything from powder boards to park boards, but we also will take those and we can offer them in a custom option. Such as custom boards for bigger-footed riders for guys with size 13 and up feet," said Rob.The process in designing and creating a snowboard is a lot of work but to Winterstick it's an everyday activity."We go through some new prototyping designs and we jam a Sharpie into our CNC machine so that we can draw shapes on cardboard. We draw shapes until we like the feeling of them and then we can stand on them. Then we can go and we can actually take that from the console, the Sharpie concept to a working board, and in about a day it comes out of our factory, we can just jump on, go test it out, see how it feels, and then make tweaks as we need to from there," said Rob.Tune in to learn more about Winterstick and how Rob Lu got involved in the business after his time in mechanical engineering with the government.

It's no secret that modern fashion is built on systems of exploitation, extraction, and anonymity. And so, in the transformation toward positive impact fashion, a keystone is changing the nature of relationships: between stakeholders, between brands and customers, and even our relationships with the things we own. In this episode, three segments from 202030 – The Berlin Fashion Summit explore different approaches to how regenerative practices are built upon these meaningful relationships, forging a new culture of accountability and collaboration. First, Marion Röttges shares the work of Remei, an organic cotton B2B company, and their ‘all-holder value' approach to supply chains. At Remei, farmers and brand management work on an eye-level, fortified by tools for radical transparency and traceability. Next, Hasna Kourda explains how Save Your Wardrobe, the digital wardrobe management app which she co-founded in 2017, is changing how people relate to what they own. Rooted in practices of repair, care, and material longevity that she grew up with in Tunisia, Hasna envisions a new ecosystem of tailors and skilled crafts people. Finally, Max Gilgenmann interviews Selyna Peiris (Selyn Textiles) together with Annika Wohlert (B Lab Germany). Selyn Textiles represents Sri Lankan hand-loom craftspeople with a supply chain fortified by direct relationships and block-chain traceability, and Annika pairs this work with B Lab's goals of setting new heights for the standards of brand citizenship. They remind us that as society recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic, we have the active choice to replace old, broken systems with regenerative networks.

In Germany in 2002 there were some 19,000 small, neighbourhood butchers' shops. They made and sold, among other things, that “great emblem of Germany's national diet” – sausages. At last count, in 2021, there were fewer than 11,000 shops left. The German butchers' trade association says there are “massive problems” finding trained staff and young people who want to learn from the bottom up. In Lörrach, in the south-west of Germany, the Chamber of Handcraft, is now looking overseas in order to preserve local culinary traditions. A group of apprentices from India has just started a three-year training programme at the local college and various shops in the vicinity. The decline of the butchers' shop – and the threat to the sausage – mirrors a problem in many branches across the whole of Germany; in social care, in bakeries, in the building trade: people at the top of an ageing population are leaving the workforce at a higher rate than those entering at the bottom. “The lack of skilled workers is becoming ever more palpable,” says the chamber of trade. They'll be going back to India later this year to recruit for other industries. Producer/presenter: Tim Mansel

From Lex Fridman: https://lexfridman.com/demis-hassabis/Transcripts from Karpathy's https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0299-large.htmllink | 00:37:13.160 So let's go to the basic building blocks of biologylink | 00:37:16.960 that I think is another angle at which you can startlink | 00:37:20.200 to understand the human mind, the human body,link | 00:37:22.280 which is quite fascinating,link | 00:37:23.400 which is from the basic building blocks,link | 00:37:26.640 start to simulate, start to modellink | 00:37:28.960 how from those building blocks,link | 00:37:30.480 you can construct bigger and bigger, more complex systems,link | 00:37:33.080 maybe one day the entirety of the human biology.link | 00:37:35.820 So here's another problem that thoughtlink | 00:37:39.680 to be impossible to solve, which is protein folding.link | 00:37:42.720 And Alpha Fold or specifically Alpha Fold 2 did just that.link | 00:37:48.840 It solved protein folding.link | 00:37:50.320 I think it's one of the biggest breakthroughs,link | 00:37:53.400 certainly in the history of structural biology,link | 00:37:55.140 but in general in science,link | 00:38:00.240 maybe from a high level, what is it and how does it work?link | 00:38:04.840 And then we can ask some fascinating questions after.link | 00:38:08.700 Sure.link | 00:38:09.980 So maybe to explain it to people not familiarlink | 00:38:12.880 with protein folding is, you know,link | 00:38:14.400 first of all, explain proteins, which is, you know,link | 00:38:16.980 proteins are essential to all life.link | 00:38:18.840 Every function in your body depends on proteins.link | 00:38:21.520 Sometimes they're called the workhorses of biology.link | 00:38:23.920 And if you look into them and I've, you know,link | 00:38:25.340 obviously as part of Alpha Fold,link | 00:38:26.660 I've been researching proteins and structural biologylink | 00:38:30.200 for the last few years, you know,link | 00:38:31.760 they're amazing little bio nano machines proteins.link | 00:38:34.760 They're incredible if you actually watch little videoslink | 00:38:36.460 of how they work, animations of how they work.link | 00:38:39.000 And proteins are specified by their genetic sequencelink | 00:38:42.600 called the amino acid sequence.link | 00:38:44.280 So you can think of it as their genetic makeup.link | 00:38:47.040 And then in the body in nature,link | 00:38:50.080 they fold up into a 3D structure.link | 00:38:53.360 So you can think of it as a string of beadslink | 00:38:55.320 and then they fold up into a ball.link | 00:38:57.160 Now, the key thing is you want to knowlink | 00:38:59.100 what that 3D structure is because the structure,link | 00:39:02.480 the 3D structure of a protein is what helps to determinelink | 00:39:06.120 what does it do, the function it does in your body.link | 00:39:08.580 And also if you're interested in drugs or disease,link | 00:39:12.320 you need to understand that 3D structurelink | 00:39:13.980 because if you want to target somethinglink | 00:39:15.840 with a drug compound about to block somethinglink | 00:39:18.640 the protein's doing, you need to understandlink | 00:39:21.120 where it's gonna bind on the surface of the protein.link | 00:39:23.440 So obviously in order to do that,link | 00:39:24.940 you need to understand the 3D structure.link | 00:39:26.720 So the structure is mapped to the function.link | 00:39:28.640 The structure is mapped to the functionlink | 00:39:29.880 and the structure is obviously somehow specifiedlink | 00:39:32.560 by the amino acid sequence.link | 00:39:34.840 And that's the, in essence, the protein folding problem is,link | 00:39:37.420 can you just from the amino acid sequence,link | 00:39:39.620 the one dimensional string of letters,link | 00:39:42.560 can you immediately computationally predictlink | 00:39:45.600 the 3D structure?link | 00:39:47.120 And this has been a grand challenge in biologylink | 00:39:50.020 for over 50 years.link | 00:39:51.500 So I think it was first articulated by Christian Anfinsen,link | 00:39:54.360 a Nobel prize winner in 1972,link | 00:39:57.040 as part of his Nobel prize winning lecture.link | 00:39:59.240 And he just speculated this should be possiblelink | 00:40:01.860 to go from the amino acid sequence to the 3D structure,link | 00:40:04.960 but he didn't say how.link | 00:40:06.060 So it's been described to me as equivalentlink | 00:40:09.440 to Fermat's last theorem, but for biology.link | 00:40:12.320 You should, as somebody that very well might winlink | 00:40:15.120 the Nobel prize in the future.link | 00:40:16.560 But outside of that, you should do morelink | 00:40:19.240 of that kind of thing.link | 00:40:20.080 In the margin, just put random thingslink | 00:40:22.160 that will take like 200 years to solve.link | 00:40:24.440 Set people off for 200 years.link | 00:40:26.000 It should be possible.link | 00:40:27.720 And just don't give any details.link | 00:40:29.040 Exactly.link | 00:40:29.880 I think everyone exactly should be,link | 00:40:31.500 I'll have to remember that for future.link | 00:40:33.520 So yeah, so he set off, you know,link | 00:40:34.800 with this one throwaway remark, just like Fermat,link | 00:40:37.040 you know, he set off this whole 50 year field reallylink | 00:40:42.640 of computational biology.link | 00:40:44.400 And they had, you know, they got stuck.link | 00:40:46.240 They hadn't really got very far with doing this.link | 00:40:48.520 And until now, until AlphaFold came along,link | 00:40:52.500 this is done experimentally, right?link | 00:40:54.320 Very painstakingly.link | 00:40:55.500 So the rule of thumb is, and you have to likelink | 00:40:57.440 crystallize the protein, which is really difficult.link | 00:40:59.820 Some proteins can't be crystallized like membrane proteins.link | 00:41:03.060 And then you have to use very expensive electron microscopeslink | 00:41:05.940 or X ray crystallography machines.link | 00:41:08.200 Really painstaking work to get the 3D structurelink | 00:41:10.680 and visualize the 3D structure.link | 00:41:12.400 So the rule of thumb in experimental biologylink | 00:41:14.840 is that it takes one PhD student,link | 00:41:16.860 their entire PhD to do one protein.link | 00:41:20.320 And with AlphaFold 2, we were able to predictlink | 00:41:23.440 the 3D structure in a matter of seconds.link | 00:41:26.400 And so we were, you know, over Christmas,link | 00:41:28.700 we did the whole human proteomelink | 00:41:30.240 or every protein in the human body or 20,000 proteins.link | 00:41:33.280 So the human proteomes like the equivalentlink | 00:41:34.760 of the human genome, but on protein space.link | 00:41:37.560 And sort of revolutionized reallylink | 00:41:40.240 what a structural biologist can do.link | 00:41:43.300 Because now they don't have to worrylink | 00:41:45.720 about these painstaking experimental,link | 00:41:47.960 should they put all of that effort in or not?link | 00:41:49.560 They can almost just look up the structurelink | 00:41:51.120 of their proteins like a Google search.link | 00:41:53.280 And so there's a data set on which it's trainedlink | 00:41:56.880 and how to map this amino acid sequence.link | 00:41:58.800 First of all, it's incredible that a protein,link | 00:42:00.760 this little chemical computer is able to dolink | 00:42:02.480 that computation itself in some kind of distributed waylink | 00:42:05.720 and do it very quickly.link | 00:42:07.800 That's a weird thing.link | 00:42:08.840 And they evolve that way because, you know,link | 00:42:10.480 in the beginning, I mean, that's a great invention,link | 00:42:13.200 just the protein itself.link | 00:42:14.760 And then there's, I think, probably a historylink | 00:42:18.240 of like they evolved to have many of these proteinslink | 00:42:22.740 and those proteins figure out how to be computers themselveslink | 00:42:26.600 in such a way that you can create structureslink | 00:42:28.560 that can interact in complexes with each otherlink | 00:42:30.540 in order to form high level functions.link | 00:42:32.660 I mean, it's a weird system that they figured it out.link | 00:42:35.520 Well, for sure.link | 00:42:36.360 I mean, you know, maybe we should talklink | 00:42:37.640 about the origins of life too,link | 00:42:39.000 but proteins themselves, I think are magicallink | 00:42:41.180 and incredible, as I said, little bio nano machines.link | 00:42:45.760 And actually Leventhal, who was another scientist,link | 00:42:50.280 a contemporary of Amphinson, he coined this Leventhal,link | 00:42:55.120 what became known as Leventhal's paradox,link | 00:42:56.820 which is exactly what you're saying.link | 00:42:58.320 He calculated roughly an average protein,link | 00:43:01.580 which is maybe 2000 amino acids base as long,link | 00:43:05.080 is can fold in maybe 10 to the power 300link | 00:43:09.960 different confirmations.link | 00:43:11.480 So there's 10 to the power 300 different wayslink | 00:43:13.320 that protein could fold up.link | 00:43:14.800 And yet somehow in nature, physics solves this,link | 00:43:18.160 solves this in a matter of milliseconds.link | 00:43:20.520 So proteins fold up in your body in, you know,link | 00:43:23.080 sometimes in fractions of a second.link | 00:43:25.600 So physics is somehow solving that search problem.link | 00:43:29.080 And just to be clear, in many of these cases,link | 00:43:31.200 maybe you can correct me if I'm wrong,link | 00:43:33.040 there's often a unique way for that sequence to form itself.link | 00:43:37.680 So among that huge number of possibilities,link | 00:43:41.240 it figures out a way how to stably,link | 00:43:45.320 in some cases there might be a misfunction, so on,link | 00:43:47.800 which leads to a lot of the disorders and stuff like that.link | 00:43:50.040 But most of the time it's a unique mappinglink | 00:43:52.720 and that unique mapping is not obvious.link | 00:43:54.820 No, exactly.link | 00:43:55.660 Which is what the problem is.link | 00:43:57.120 Exactly, so there's a unique mapping usually in a healthy,link | 00:44:00.720 if it's healthy, and as you say in disease,link | 00:44:04.040 so for example, Alzheimer's,link | 00:44:05.400 one conjecture is that it's because of misfolded protein,link | 00:44:09.000 a protein that folds in the wrong way, amyloid beta protein.link | 00:44:12.040 So, and then because it folds in the wrong way,link | 00:44:14.560 it gets tangled up, right, in your neurons.link | 00:44:17.600 So it's super important to understandlink | 00:44:20.560 both healthy functioning and also diseaselink | 00:44:23.600 is to understand, you know, what these things are doinglink | 00:44:26.480 and how they're structuring.link | 00:44:27.600 Of course, the next step is sometimes proteins change shapelink | 00:44:30.540 when they interact with something.link | 00:44:32.160 So they're not just static necessarily in biology.link | 00:44:37.200 Maybe you can give some interesting,link | 00:44:39.780 so beautiful things to you about these early dayslink | 00:44:43.260 of AlphaFold, of solving this problem,link | 00:44:46.160 because unlike games, this is real physical systemslink | 00:44:51.280 that are less amenable to self play type of mechanisms.link | 00:44:55.640 Sure.link | 00:44:56.460 The size of the data set is smallerlink | 00:44:58.440 than you might otherwise like,link | 00:44:59.760 so you have to be very clever about certain things.link | 00:45:01.800 Is there something you could speak tolink | 00:45:04.800 what was very hard to solvelink | 00:45:06.680 and what are some beautiful aspects about the solution?link | 00:45:09.920 Yeah, I would say AlphaFold is the most complexlink | 00:45:12.800 and also probably most meaningful systemlink | 00:45:14.600 we've built so far.link | 00:45:15.860 So it's been an amazing time actually in the last,link | 00:45:18.400 you know, two, three years to see that come throughlink | 00:45:20.520 because as we talked about earlier, you know,link | 00:45:23.200 games is what we started onlink | 00:45:25.480 building things like AlphaGo and AlphaZero,link | 00:45:27.900 but really the ultimate goal was to,link | 00:45:30.400 not just to crack games,link | 00:45:31.520 it was just to build,link | 00:45:33.120 use them to bootstrap general learning systemslink | 00:45:35.320 we could then apply to real world challenges.link | 00:45:37.440 Specifically, my passion is scientific challengeslink | 00:45:40.640 like protein folding.link | 00:45:41.920 And then AlphaFold of courselink | 00:45:43.280 is our first big proof point of that.link | 00:45:45.360 And so, you know, in terms of the datalink | 00:45:49.040 and the amount of innovations that had to go into it,link | 00:45:50.920 we, you know, it was likelink | 00:45:52.280 more than 30 different component algorithmslink | 00:45:54.480 needed to be put together to crack the protein folding.link | 00:45:57.960 I think some of the big innovations were thatlink | 00:46:00.800 kind of building in some hard coded constraintslink | 00:46:04.220 around physics and evolutionary biologylink | 00:46:07.760 to constrain sort of things like the bond angleslink | 00:46:11.640 in the protein and things like that,link | 00:46:15.400 a lot, but not to impact the learning system.link | 00:46:18.040 So still allowing the system to be able to learnlink | 00:46:21.000 the physics itself from the examples that we had.link | 00:46:25.540 And the examples, as you say,link | 00:46:26.640 there are only about 150,000 proteins,link | 00:46:28.840 even after 40 years of experimental biology,link | 00:46:31.240 only around 150,000 proteins have been,link | 00:46:33.880 the structures have been found out about.link | 00:46:35.920 So that was our training set,link | 00:46:37.120 which is much less than normally we would like to use,link | 00:46:41.120 but using various tricks, things like self distillation.link | 00:46:43.840 So actually using AlphaFold predictions,link | 00:46:48.280 some of the best predictionslink | 00:46:49.480 that it thought was highly confident in,link | 00:46:51.000 we put them back into the training set, right?link | 00:46:53.320 To make the training set bigger,link | 00:46:55.440 that was critical to AlphaFold working.link | 00:46:58.400 So there was actually a huge numberlink | 00:47:00.160 of different innovations like that,link | 00:47:02.720 that were required to ultimately crack the problem.link | 00:47:06.080 AlphaFold one, what it produced was a distrogram.link | 00:47:09.720 So a kind of a matrix of the pairwise distanceslink | 00:47:13.600 between all of the molecules in the protein.link | 00:47:17.880 And then there had to be a separate optimization processlink | 00:47:20.440 to create the 3D structure.link | 00:47:23.640 And what we did for AlphaFold twolink | 00:47:25.120 is make it truly end to end.link | 00:47:26.920 So we went straight from the amino acid sequence of baseslink | 00:47:31.720 to the 3D structure directlylink | 00:47:33.860 without going through this intermediate step.link | 00:47:36.080 And in machine learning, what we've always found islink | 00:47:38.600 that the more end to end you can make it,link | 00:47:40.920 the better the system.link | 00:47:42.160 And it's probably because in the end,link | 00:47:46.160 the system's better at learning what the constraints arelink | 00:47:48.560 than we are as the human designers of specifying it.link | 00:47:51.920 So anytime you can let it flow end to endlink | 00:47:54.040 and actually just generate what it islink | 00:47:55.400 you're really looking for, in this case, the 3D structure,link | 00:47:58.440 you're better off than having this intermediate step,link | 00:48:00.560 which you then have to handcraft the next step for.link | 00:48:03.360 So it's better to let the gradients and the learninglink | 00:48:06.160 flow all the way through the system from the end point,link | 00:48:09.000 the end output you want to the inputs.link | 00:48:10.880 So that's a good way to start on a new problem.link | 00:48:13.040 Handcraft a bunch of stuff,link | 00:48:14.360 add a bunch of manual constraintslink | 00:48:16.640 with a small end to end learning piecelink | 00:48:18.640 or a small learning piece and grow that learning piecelink | 00:48:21.560 until it consumes the whole thing.link | 00:48:22.840 That's right.link | 00:48:23.680 And so you can also see,link | 00:48:25.320 this is a bit of a method we've developedlink | 00:48:26.960 over doing many sort of successful alpha,link | 00:48:29.640 we call them alpha X projects, right?link | 00:48:32.200 And the easiest way to see that is the evolutionlink | 00:48:34.600 of alpha go to alpha zero.link | 00:48:36.720 So alpha go was a learning system,link | 00:48:39.640 but it was specifically trained to only play go, right?link | 00:48:42.280 So, and what we wanted to do with first version of alpha golink | 00:48:45.360 is just get to world champion performancelink | 00:48:47.520 no matter how we did it, right?link | 00:48:49.200 And then of course, alpha go zero,link | 00:48:51.400 we remove the need to use human games as a starting point,link | 00:48:55.280 right?link | 00:48:56.120 So it could just play against itselflink | 00:48:57.960 from random starting point from the beginning.link | 00:49:00.280 So that removed the need for human knowledge about go.link | 00:49:03.720 And then finally alpha zero then generalized itlink | 00:49:05.960 so that any things we had in there, the system,link | 00:49:08.920 including things like symmetry of the go board were removed.link | 00:49:12.240 So the alpha zero could play from scratchlink | 00:49:14.600 any two player game and then mu zero,link | 00:49:16.440 which is the final, our latest versionlink | 00:49:18.360 of that set of things was then extending itlink | 00:49:20.680 so that you didn't even have to give itlink | 00:49:22.120 the rules of the game.link | 00:49:23.200 It would learn that for itself.link | 00:49:24.880 So it could also deal with computer gameslink | 00:49:26.600 as well as board games.link | 00:49:27.760 So that line of alpha go, alpha go zero, alpha zero,link | 00:49:30.400 mu zero, that's the full trajectorylink | 00:49:33.480 of what you can take from imitation learninglink | 00:49:37.200 to full self supervised learning.link | 00:49:40.440 Yeah, exactly.link | 00:49:41.640 And learning the entire structurelink | 00:49:44.720 of the environment you're put in from scratch, right?link | 00:49:47.640 And bootstrapping it through self play yourself.link | 00:49:51.840 But the thing is it would have been impossible, I think,link | 00:49:53.720 or very hard for us to build alpha zerolink | 00:49:55.960 or mu zero first out of the box.link | 00:49:58.600 Even psychologically, because you have to believelink | 00:50:01.400 in yourself for a very long time.link | 00:50:03.040 You're constantly dealing with doubtlink | 00:50:04.640 because a lot of people say that it's impossible.link | 00:50:06.680 Exactly, so it's hard enough just to do go.link | 00:50:08.640 As you were saying, everyone thought that was impossiblelink | 00:50:10.920 or at least a decade away from when we did itlink | 00:50:14.160 back in 2015, 2016.link | 00:50:17.320 And so yes, it would have been psychologicallylink | 00:50:20.960 probably very difficult as well as the factlink | 00:50:22.960 that of course we learn a lot by building alpha go first.link | 00:50:26.400 Right, so I think this is why I call AIlink | 00:50:28.520 an engineering science.link | 00:50:29.880 It's one of the most fascinating science disciplines,link | 00:50:32.280 but it's also an engineering science in the senselink | 00:50:34.200 that unlike natural sciences, the phenomenon you're studyinglink | 00:50:38.200 doesn't exist out in nature.link | 00:50:39.440 You have to build it first.link | 00:50:40.880 So you have to build the artifact first,link | 00:50:42.480 and then you can study and pull it apart and how it works.

I start talking about what goes wrong in modern science. In particular I discuss the difficulty of getting reliable data from complex systems and the problems that creates in society. I finally 'discover' traditional handcraft as a superior way of interacting with the world and of handling complexity. For a master craftsman, data gathering, model building and corrective action are unified to a single, continuous, subconscious process.

In honor of our five year anniversary of Masters of Scale, we're revisiting our first episode ever, featuring Airbnb's Brian Chesky.If you want your company to truly scale, you first have to do things that don't scale. Handcraft the core experience. Get your hands dirty. Serve your customers one-by-one. And don't stop until you know exactly what they want. That's what Brian Chesky did. As CEO of Airbnb, Brian's early work was more akin to a traveling salesman. He takes us back to his lean years — when he went door-to-door, meeting Airbnb hosts in person — and shares the imaginative route to crafting what he calls an "11-star experience.”Read a transcript of this episode: https://mastersofscale.comSubscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter: http://eepurl.com/dlirtXSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I put theory into TEST to find out what works and what doesn't. The Bruce Lee quote “take whats useful and disregard the rest” is how I find movement truth. The ultimate truth is in the movement not the theory, it has to work in reality. Now Running/Gait mechanics and martial arts (especially boxing) is how I test truth in movement; theory is always put to the test! From my teenage years into my late 20s, I spent significant time within mainstream fitness practices such as Crossfit, powerlifting, Olympic lifting, gymnastics, and bodybuilding, not in that particular order. I have also spent time playing soccer, boxing, skiing amongst other sports. Having stacked many injuries in my teens/20s from improper training, I was led on a journey into chiropractic and sports injuries. I have worked with 1000s of injured patients in 8 years of chiropractic practice and have seen many injuries in the gym as a former Crossfit coach for 5 years. I've now spent 1,000's of hours learning and practicing systems such as Functional Range Conditioning, Weckmethod, and GOATA movement. GOATA has my interest at the moment, as I see it as a platform for a new Paradigm in movement. I believe we (Experts) are using incorrect maps of movement, therefore injuries are prevalent in sport and life. I will always test and retest in my own theories in real movement. Join me on my journey to change the movement game for the public and experts." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-art-of-move/message

Lambert Bridge Winery is truly a magical place. With our soaring redwood barrel room and incredible gardens set against the backdrop of redwood trees, the winery has come to define luxury and elegance through our “less is more” philosophy. We are a family owned winery handcrafting limited production, artisanal wines within the Dry Creek Valley of Healdsburg, California. The C.L. Lambert Family settled in the Dry Creek Valley a century ago. Jerry Lambert, of no relation, was drawn to our property six decades later with world-class winemaking in mind. Jerry founded the winery in 1975 and it grew rapidly producing more than 25,000 cases a year. In 1993, Patti and Ray Chambers discovered this rustic stretch of Dry Creek Valley and fell completely in love and decided to make the winery their own. After they purchased the property, Patti asked an important question: why not do more with less? Since then, we've pared back production to roughly 8,000 cases a year, growing and sourcing Sonoma County's finest fruit along the way.The Chambers Family vision was heartfelt and enduring from the start: honor this idyllic land, farm and craft Sonoma's finest small-lot wines, and create an inspiring place to relish wine, food, and friendship. Our approach to winemaking is straightforward and relentless: chase excellence in every detail. By keeping production small and standards incredibly high, we make no compromise and spare no expense. The result is a portfolio of world class, Bordeaux inspired wines that capture the essence of the vineyard and vintage, year after year. We continue to curate and cultivate a special community which seeks connection and self-expression through distinctive, engaging and enriching luxury wine experiences.

When his estranged father passed away, Trent Preszler's inheritance was his dad's lone, well-used tool chest. With those tools and no prior woodworking experience, Preszler decided he would build himself a wooden canoe, a process he outlines in his powerful new memoir, Little and Often. Giving himself a self-imposed, one-year deadline to finish the craft, Preszler stumbles his way through the creation of his first boat, turning his entire house into a woodworking facility. It's a beautifully written tale about someone processing the death of a loved one, finding himself, and the healing power of craft. Today, Preszler continues his newfound love for woodworking at Preszler Woodshop, where he painstakingly builds canoes one-at-a-time. His canoes command a staggering $100,000. He's also the CEO of Cutchogue, New York's Bedell Cellars. http://www.preszlerwoodshop.com Sponsored by Caddis Eyewear and MyPerfectColor. https://caddislife.com https://www.myperfectcolor.com Sweep the Floor is a new podcast where we celebrate the stories behind the best makers in the world, including woodworkers, brewers, bootmakers, mechanics, designers and all points in-between.

Kaum sind sie da, sind sie schon wieder weg: Die Rede ist von den wunderbaren Magazinen und Büchern des Laine Verlags aus Finnland. Denn sie sind für viele eben mehr als "nur" ein Strickmagazin oder -buch. Stattdessen wird darin ein ganzes Lebensgefühl transportiert. Für unseren Podcast "Nur noch eine Reihe" haben wir mit einer der Gründerinnen gesprochen: Sini Kramer hat sich 2015 mit ihrer Freundin Jonna zusammengetan, um ein Magazin zu veröffentlichen, das sie bisher auf dem Markt vermisst haben. Der Rest ist Geschichte. In dieser Folge ermöglicht Sini einen Blick hinter die Laine-Kulissen und nimmt uns mit in die wunderbare Welt des finnischen Verlags. Sie erzählt von den Anfängen und der Entwicklung und warum sie jetzt auch Bücher abseits des Strickens veröffentlichen. Trotz kleinerer Schwierigkeiten mit der Internetverbindung freuen wir uns sehr, dass dieses Gespräch geklappt hat und wünschen euch viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

Kristen and Joe Camp, owners and founders of Campfire Pottery, have been crafting one-of-a-kind contemporary ceramic pieces that are symbols of human-gathering for five years in Westbrook, Maine. They also have a storefront built out of a shipping container located off of Washington Avenue in Portland. The Campfire pair came to Maine from their home state of Georgia to help build a church and they decided to stay in Maine long-term as they loved the environment, culture, and wanted to start a business around the passion that started their relationship, pottery. Their craft is very unique as they use a Japanese style ceramic process called Raku on a portion of their collection. Joe suits up in a firefighter like uniform as temperatures, when undergoing this process, get extremely hot! Kristen’s newest project is working with an interior designer on a light fixture and will be launching an interior designer program later this year.Please visit Campfire Pottery’s website to view their products. Feel free to follow them on Facebook and Instagram to get updates on new products and promotions. Also, please consider giving back to this lovely business as well as the frontline workers who are risking their own health for those suffering from COVID-19 by supporting their Stay at Home Mug Project.

Brisbane-based Ragvinder Singh has a passion for making useful handmade items. During this coronavirus lockdown when he had some extra time, he crafted many wooden articles including – three beds, some kitchen articles and small gardening tools.

Tim Manney is a chair and tool maker based in Portland, Maine. He primarily builds ladderback chairs using green woodworking principles, but also uses kiln-dried lumber in his process. Although he started his woodworking journey making chairs with influential Windsor chairmaker Curtis Buchannan in Tennessee, he’s found that he’s making more tools for Windsor chairmaking than chairs these days. Tim pays special attention to how he can work with his body the same way he works with the fibers of wood.

The folks that liked to hop on a barstool on after work are currently looking at their home bars with a new light, missing the camaraderie of bar cocktails but also looking to have a bit of a ritual -- even in uncertain times -- at the close of the workday, whatever that means, whether Zooming classrooms with kids or sharing spreadsheets with the staff. To help us learn more about how to begin, I tapped one of the best home bartenders I’ve ever met, Miguel Buencamino of Holy City Handcraft in Charleston, SC. He’s worked with brands from Fernet Branca to Coopers Craft Bourbon to Patron Tequila to create beautiful, useful digital content that has cocktail enthusiasts clamoring for more, and he also knows how learning a little at a time can land you in some pretty wonderful (and delicious) places. So pull out a chilled glass and let’s get to mixing.

We don’t talk very much about mindfulness in fashion, but it’s not like the two are mutually exclusive. If the opposite of sustainable fashion is thoughtlessly buying more and more clothes and getting rid of them after just a few wears, then mindfulness surely has a place. Fashion journalist Bandana Tewari is a former Vogue India editor who now writes for Business of Fashion, and speaks globally on India’s rich tradition of fashion craftsmanship. This episode covers that but from a unique perspective: Bandana’s been developing a theory around what we can learn from the great Indian activist Mohandas Gandhi (mahatma means high-souled in Sanskrit). It was Gandhi who lead the khadi movement, uniting Indians in opposition to British colonial rule around the issue of cotton production. How did he develop his sartorial integrity, and what can we learn from that in today's context of hyper-consumerism. As powerful argument as we ever heard in support of the idea that clothes do matter...

Sarah Corbett believes, “If we want a world that is beautiful, kind and fair, shouldn’t our activism be beautiful, kind and fair?” This Episode is a call to arms for fashion change-makers, a demonstration of the persuasive nature of gentle activism, and the wonderful idea that together we might stitch a rebellion, sweep out the status quo and usher in a fairer world in fashion and beyond. Happy Fashion Revolution Week!  For links and further reading, check out the show notes here. Are you a craftivist? Would you like to be? We'd love to know what you think.

To tell the story of Proof Eyewear we need to go beyond the their official launch date of 2010 and start in 1954 when the Dame brother's grandfather started a sawmill in Idaho. It was at that very sawmill that Tanner and his brothers would create their first pair of wooden sunglasses which would spare a fire and passion to create. In this episode Josh has the luxury of sitting down with Tanner as he talks about how he combined family values, sustainable materials, and strong social action to create Proof Eyewear, and how a simple pair of wooden sunglasses turned into a blossoming and boom outdoor startup.

If you want your company to truly scale, you first have to do things that don't scale. Handcraft the core experience. Get your hands dirty. Serve your customers one-by-one. And don't stop until you know exactly what they want. That's what Brian Chesky did. As CEO of Airbnb, Brian’s early work was more akin to a traveling salesman. He takes us back to his lean years – when he went door-to-door, meeting Airbnb hosts in person – and shares the imaginative route to crafting what he calls an "11-star experience.”Mentioned in this episode:Paul Graham: "In order to scale, you have to do things that don't scale."

Is knitting a dying art?

It’s not easy leaving something secure to go after something so uncertain. However, that’s one of the necessary ingredients to have a true adventure. Tony Smith knew that when there was sawdust left in his hair during a work meeting after working on his passion for crafting over a lunch break, it was time to take a leap. He left a stable career to jump full-time into handcrafted wooden paddle boards but gave himself the deadline to try it for a year.  With a young family and no real certainty it would work out, the journey of building Jarvis Boards was truly an adventure of a lifetime. Today, 5 years into the adventure, Jarvis Boards is still going strong and getting more and more publicity. Today, we talk to Tony to get a feel for what it was really like to make the leap, the reality of risk when doing what you love for a living, and the highs and lows of growing upon a new and solid foundation.
