“Assessments help you have a conversation that is balanced between the intuitive and the more data-driven.” How can you discover more of your strengths, skills, talents, and gifts? One way is through personality assessments.  Through personality assessments, you can learn more about who you are as a leader and as a person (because you're both!). Critics say personality assessments are unscientific, or worse, that they reinforce bias and discrimination. But 80% of Fortune 500 companies reportedly use them, so I thought it would be interesting to look into them more closely with an expert.  Claire Chandler has been helping leadership teams work together more effectively in less time with less cultural resistance to accelerate business growth for over 25 years. In this episode, she joins me to share a fresh perspective on assessments and how you can use them to drive better results.  Key areas discussed:  0:00 Introduction 3:39 What organizations are trying to solve for when they bring Claire in and do assessments  4:59 The value of an assessment  6:34 Why the qualitative is valuable when it comes to assessments 8:29 What made Claire interested in working with people and using assessments  9:58 Creating safety within organizations to have these kinds of conversations  14:45 How Claire helped a huge multi-billion dollar organization's leadership team go from disjointed strangers to connected friends  23:15 What Claire would say to those who may have been burned by assessments in the past  24:20 What's so powerful about assessments  27:17 How Claire's assessments root out attempts at deception  31:59 My assessment results! 44:10 My work style vulnerabilities from Claire's assessment  Tune into this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fizDgFMP6Pw or your favorite podcast app: http://www.samanthahartley.com/blog-podcast. to learn how assessments can help you know yourself better and by doing so, build a more profitable and joyful consultancy. #PersonalityAssessments #Consulting  ---------------

There's a lot that goes into growing your jewelry sales – online.One thing is for sure,  Live Selling is a great way to create “community” around your brand, get more website traffic, and scale your growth.   I am passionate about helping jewelry business owners grow their businesses and create multiple streams of revenue. In my experience, I see a lot of jewelry makers who thrive selling in person or to stores but they can't seem to translate that in person experience or success into e-commerce sales.    So they throw their hands up, give up, and think: selling online is not for me!   It's important to know that training your customers to buy from you online is NOT super hard but it does take a strategy, consistency (most of you are impatient - yo), and an ability to replicate an in person experience – online.    Which brings me to today's episode of Thrive by Design, I get to interview Carla Garro, a long time client of mine who is CRUSHING it in her niche with online selling.   Carla is the founder of Lita Sea Glass and has been “Live Selling” for the past several years after she learned the strategy in our program: Train Your Customers to Buy Online.   She sells out of collections every week and can barely keep her jewelry in stock. Listen in to hear how she does it.   Here's what we chat about…   Her journey into finding her Desired Brand Effect and cornering an untapped unpopular market to make it “in-demand” How Carla navigates running a very successful business being a single mom and running a team of five people Steps she took to transition from selling in a brick and mortar to online and wholesale How she's built an insane following of dedicated buyers who show up every week to buy her jewelry Impressive insights into creating community with live selling - yes 350 people show up at times How she keeps a “beginner's mind” when it comes to growing her business online And so much more   Carla is a bad-ass and I want you to be too!

What you'll learn in this episode:   How Jeremy found that landscape architecture translated to jewelry making Why he was drawn to working with paper, and how he came up with his distinctive technique Why jewelry is a powerful object to preserve memories Jeremy's design process and how he creates a unique piece of jewelry for each client   About Jeremy May   Jeremy May is a Landscape Architect born in Suffolk, UK. After having worked in his field of design for over 10 years, Jeremy created the first paper ring in September 2007. Jeremy's literary jewels were first introduced to the public in January 2009, transforming the paper that aspires to last beautifully and bring joy, colour, and love to all those sustainably minded individuals. The jewels have been presented in London, Paris, Osaka, Athens, Hamburg and Saint Petersburg. Currently Jeremy is working on private commissions and on creating collections of jewels under a thematology to be presented in exhibitions around the world. He lives and works in London.   Additional Resources: Jermey's Website Jermey's Instagram   Photos available on TheJewelryJourney.com   Transcript:   It takes an adventurous jewelry designer to eschew traditional materials like metal and diamonds in favor of paper. But as a former landscape architect who left his career for more thrilling creative pursuits, Jeremy May was up for the challenge. He joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about why he was drawn to paper when he first discovered jewelry making; how he came up with his one-of-a-kind technique; and how he works with clients to create the perfect, meaningful piece. Read the episode transcript here.  Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the first part of a two-part episode. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week.    Today, speaking to us from London is Jeremy May, who creates unique literary jewels from pages of vintage books. He transforms these books into unique pieces of paper jewelry with quotes carefully cut from the book. Each piece is unique to the wearer. We will hear more about the books and how he creates his unique jewels today. Jeremy, welcome to the program.   Jeremy: Hello. It's an honor and a delight to speak to you.   Sharon: Tell us about your jewelry journey. How did you start?   Jeremy: I started in 2007. I made my first ring for my wife for our first wedding anniversary. I made it from a newspaper, and that's basically how it all started for me in the jewelry world. I studied as a landscape architect, and I did that for about 12 years. When I made the first ring, that was like the catalyst. I saw my new profession, and I decided that landscape architecture was not for me. I started making jewelry.   Sharon: With landscape architecture, had it been in the back of your mind, “I have to find something else”?   Jeremy: I started landscape architecture from a very young age. My parents were both in the horticulture world, so it was in the forefront of my mind. My grandfather was a head gardener, so plants and horticulture were always at the forefront of my mind. It was second nature. For me, a progression into landscape architecture was great because I loved art and design, and that was my output, if you like, for creativity. From a very young age, about the age of 12 or 13, I decided I was going to be a landscape architect.    I researched and worked out how I was going to do this, what courses and classes I needed to take. I ended up going to Greenwich University, and it was very much an art-based course. It was less about horticulture and plants and more about design. I loved it; I adored it, actually. It was less writing and exam-based and more about design and making artwork, really. I was in my element there, and then you get to the end of the course and go, “O.K., now I have to go and get a job. That's fine.” For 10 years, I loved it; I really did. I was working with the public. I was creating urban parks in London and having so much fun, but my biggest problem was that the projects were taking too long. They were taking years and years to come to fruition. I started to get itchy feet, so I decided I was going to change, but I didn't know what and I didn't know how. This went on for two years.    In the meantime, I made my first ring for Eva, and then it was like, “Oh wow! I can do this.” I had never thought about jewelry before. I had never thought there was this whole world out there. I had no understanding of it, but I knew I was getting excited about it. I was like a dog with a bone. I went to see friends who were jewelers and watchmakers and product designers, and I asked them questions. I had lots of chats with them and they helped me a lot. They gave me books and introduced me to other people, but everything they were saying wasn't interesting to me. They were showing me things that had already been done by people who had already worked with metal, with pearls, with diamonds, and it didn't really interest me.    I really wanted to understand paper, so people were showing me origami and folded paper. I was like, “O.K., that's great, but it's not really what I'm interested in.” I wanted to discover something new. I wanted to invent something or do something that no one else was really doing. I was just playing around, and I started stacking paper up. It was like a eureka moment. I compressed them under high pressure, and then it was like, “Oh wow! That works!” It was almost like turning paper back into wood. I created a material—it was a bit like plywood—but I wasn't using any glues or resins. It was also purely natural. It was just paper. I was like, “Oh wow! If I do it like this and I do that, maybe I can make a ring out of this.” That's basically how I started.    Sharon: With all the art they taught you, did they touch on jewelry at all?   Jeremy: No, never. It was fine art. It was painting. It was a little bit of collage, and we were working with clay. We were working with a lot of materials. We were given the opportunity to experiment and do anything to get the mind working, to be inspired and then to help you come up with a design. They were trying to get you to have a catalyst to get you inspired.    Sharon: Inspired for landscape architecture work or everything?   Jeremy: Well, it was good training for anything, but in this situation it was for landscape architecture. If ever you got stuck with a design and you didn't know where to go, they were saying, “Why don't you do a collage? Why don't you do a painting? Why don't you make something with your hands?” It would help you become un-stuck and inspire you.    At university, my teachers were constantly saying, “Think about something new. Think about something different. Don't go down the same route. Don't copy.” That formed me. What molded me into me now is that I don't want to copy people. I don't want to copy a design. I don't want to copy my same design. I want each piece I make to be unique and one-off. It bores me, in a way, to repeat myself. I can't do it. If someone says to me, “Oh, I like that ring. Can you make one the same?” No, I can't.   Sharon: That's interesting. When you went to these jewelers to ask them their opinion or get ideas, you already had it in mind that you wanted to do something different.   Jeremy: Yeah, because I didn't know what it was to work with paper. I thought about working with wood or some other material. They gave me books, “This is what other people have done,” and I was like, “That's great, but it's not what I want.” I wasn't inspired. It wasn't like, “Oh, wow! Maybe I can work on that and come up with another solution, another idea.” When I went away, I was a bit disappointed and frustrated, but after sitting there daydreaming—which is one of the things I love, just to daydream, to have the opportunity to sit back and look out the window and let your mind wander. I find a lot of solutions and problems are solved that way. Yes, my friends helped me a lot in showing me what I didn't want to do.   Sharon: These people, these jewelers, probably thought you were nuts when you mentioned paper.    Jeremy: Yes, in a way. They were classically trained jewelers working with precious metals and I said, “O.K., I want to do something different. I don't know what I want to do. Can you help me? I really want to work with paper because paper is the first material for a wedding anniversary.” That was my starting point. From there, it was like, “O.K., maybe you could do this. Maybe you could that,” and I was like, “O.K.”   Sharon: How do you choose the paper and the book? If I come to you with a book, do you say, “O.K., I'll take this book and use it,” or do you have input?   Jeremy: Clients come to me and say, “I want you to make me a piece of jewelry.” Some of them will say, “This is the book I want you to use,” and I go, “O.K., that's great.” Other clients say, “I don't know what book I want to use. Can you help me?” and I give them parameters. I say, “If you have a thick book, then the piece of jewelry can be bigger. If it's thin, then you can do a smaller piece.” It comes down to the quality of the book, whether it's hardcover or softcover, the age of the book, the country the book was published in, because that can lead to different qualities of paper. You have a chat with the client about that, but then it comes down to the clients, what book is personal to them. Books are very, very personal, and it means a lot to them to have a particular novel or author.   Sharon: Do you have a library yourself that you pull from and say, “How about this book?”   Jeremy: Yeah, absolutely I do. My shelves here are absolutely full. I can say, “What about this one? What about that one?” but the majority of the time they say to me, “I'll send you a book,” and they'll go to their own library and clip it out. Or, if they say, “I want this book,” I can start researching to find a suitable copy. I prefer to work with vintage books, ones that have been read or are being used. They feel like they have a history to them. I don't particularly like using new books that have just been printed.    Sharon: Do you say to them, “Pick the book,” and give them parameters, and then do you say, “Pick the quote in the book you want”?   Jeremy: No, after I receive the book, I read the book completely. While I'm reading, I'm sketching. Within the words, I get inspired for the design of the jewel. From there, I pick a particular quote, and that then inspires me to finalize the design.    Sharon: So, you might start out with a ring and then read the book and say, “This should really be a pin,” or “It should be a necklace.”   Jeremy: Yeah, absolutely.   Sharon: Does the client say anything to you? Do they argue?   Jeremy: I am so lucky that clients go with what I say. There have only been a few times when they said, “I really would like some reds. I would like it a little bit bigger.” I'm so lucky that clients just go, “Yup, that's great,” which is completely different from when I was working as a landscape architect. You would take your design to the client and they would go, “I don't know. Maybe you could change this. Maybe you could change that.” You go through so many revisions. Now I'm producing sketches, and I send them to clients and they go, “Yeah, great, fantastic!” I'm like, “Really? Are you sure? Would you like little changes?” “No, I love it. Let's do it.”    Sharon: That's very nice that they don't have that many changes, only once in a while. Tell us about the process. How do you make pages stick together? How do you make your jewelry stick together, because it's made of different pieces, right?   Jeremy: Yeah. That is a little bit of magic and a little bit of a secret, but I don't use any strong chemicals. I don't use glues or anything like that. I'm basically using high pressure and squashing them together. I use a form of Japanese lacquer to coat them, but the strength of it comes from the actual paper, the lamination. I'm folding the paper. I'm overlapping it and then compressing it into the actual form.   Sharon: Does paper jewelry last like a jewel?   Jeremy: Absolutely. I made the first one for my wife in 2007 and it's as the day I made it. You do have to respect it. It is paper. It's not metal, so if you do bang it hard, you can chip the corner or it can split. I've had that a couple of times from clients. They didn't realize it, mainly because it's so light. I've had this in galleries. People have come up and gone, “Wow,” and they pick the ring up and then immediately drop it because they expect it to be heavy. It's paper, so I understand that it can damage if they drop it onto a concrete floor or something like that, but I can easily repair it.    Sharon: The high pressure and the techniques you use, are they things you learned being a landscape architect?   Jeremy: No, this was completely separate. It was through experimentation. Over the years, I've just experimented and changed my techniques over the last 15 years or so. It's a beautiful material to work with because it allows you to do pretty much anything in any form, and I'm constantly experimenting with the form. I'm constantly looking for new techniques or a way of fine-tuning it to be able to make bigger or smaller pieces. I've started to experiment with larger sculptures because I think my work is sculptural. It's sculpture you can wear, and I've thought, “Oh, maybe I can make this slightly bigger.” I use books, so I'm confined by the size of the book. If I can find a big book, then I'm super excited. I have made three or four sculptures now.    Sharon: Can you put books together for larger pieces?   Jeremy: I suppose I could, but I've never actually done that.    Sharon: Would you say what you do is art jewelry?   Jeremy: Yeah, I think so. I always think of jewelry as precious materials and gold and stuff like that, so I see my work more as sculpture, jewelry sculpture. I always find it weird to call myself an artist or a jeweler. I don't know exactly what I am, but it's a point to say, “You're this. You're that.” But I create sculpture people can wear, I think.   Sharon: How do you describe it to people who walk into a gallery and see all this metal, whether it's an art gallery or a jewelry gallery, and then they see paper jewelry? How do you describe what you do?   Jeremy: All my jewelry is set within the book. So, after I've read the book, I'm cutting exactly the amount of paper I need from the book in the shape of the jewel. When I'm finished, the jewel goes back into the book. In the gallery, I present the piece of jewelry with the book, so immediately when they see it, they make the connection, “Ah, it's paper.” Sometimes they say, “Why are you putting clay jewelry in books?” They can't understand. Then I say, “No, it's from the book. It's paper.” “Oh, wow!” I do try and put text or some sort of reference to the book visible on the ring so in an exhibition, people can actually make the connection.    Sharon: That's interesting. That's why I asked you how long it lasts. I think of paper jewelry as being really delicate and not long-lasting, but you say you laminate it. Do you make one-offs only?   Jeremy: Yeah, absolutely. I do one-offs because I get inspired by the book, that individual, unique book. When I read another book, I get inspired in a completely different direction, which makes it super exciting. When I start reading, I don't know what I'm going to make. By the end of the book, I know exactly what piece I'm going to make. It makes my job super exciting. I never get bored.   Sharon: So, you'll pick a book that a client hasn't brought you, but just a book you wanted to read, and you design something while you're reading it.   Jeremy: Yeah, exactly. For an exhibition or a gallery exhibition, I'll produce a series of works where I've chosen the book. Normally I choose a theme. I've done exhibitions revolving around Harlem novels or fantasy novels or romances. I do it within a library or a genre.    Sharon: How do people find you? What's your biggest way of getting the word out?   Jeremy: I honestly don't know. A lot of it has been luck. When I started, a friend of mine had a shop in London and she said, “Why don't you come and do a few pieces in my shop? I can sell them there.” I said, “O.K., great.” From that, someone was walking past. They saw the work and said, “Oh, come and exhibit in Paris.” I said, “O.K., I'll come and exhibit in Paris.” From there I got an exhibition in Japan. It's all been like that. I never really went out looking for galleries or anything. I never pushed my work. People just found me, which has been really nice. Blogs have found me over the years. They come across my website and they've written about me. Then other people write about me through the internet. People are finding me that way. Then Instagram came along, which is fantastic as well.   Sharon: Your website is very nice. Tell us the name of the link on your website. We'll have it at the end.    Jeremy: It's Littlefly.co.uk. That's Little Fly because in the beginning I didn't know what to call myself or what to call my work. My first ring was inspired by my wife. When she was young, she wasn't given a name, and her eldest brother called her Little Fly. So, I decided that was great. I called it Little Fly and it stuck.    Sharon: How old was your wife before she had a name?    Jeremy: I think she was three or four.    Sharon: When you present something to them and it's finished, do you say to them, “Here's the book. This is where it came from, and this is why it's meaningful to you”? What do you tell them?   Jeremy: Yes, I come up with a design. I've spoken a lot with the client and they tell me about themselves. The majority of my clients are men and it's a gift for their partners.   Sharon: Oh, that's interesting.   Jeremy: Yeah, 90% of my jewels are for men for their partners. In the process, I speak with them and get an understanding of who they are. I understand what they need. After I produce a sketch and I'm showing it to them, then I don't know. Something just kind of clicks. I've had people crying when I've made jewels.    A gentleman came to me. He said, “I want you to use the book ‘The Whale Rider,' and I want you to make a ring for my wife.” I said, “O.K., great.” “When you come to London, could you come and meet her and give it to her?” I said, “Yes, of course.” So, we met in a restaurant. I came up, and they were already eating. I handed her the book, and she opened it and burst into tears. I was like, “Oh, no, she doesn't like that. Is it because I've destroyed her favorite book?” But no, she was so excited that she loved it. She immediately connected with it. I don't know how to fully describe it, what I do in relation to the client's desire for a particular piece or colors or form. I've done it for so long, I just seem to get that feeling, that emotion from them. I seem to understand what they need, if that makes sense.   Sharon: It does make a lot of sense. Do you think men buy from you for their wives if they feel like their wives already have diamonds and pearls?   Jeremy: This is a completely different emotional level. Gentlemen come to me and say, “I've been looking for something different for my wife for years. I found you, and you need to make a piece for her. This is her favorite book.” I had a gentleman who wanted to propose to his wife. This couple had traveled around Australia for two years, and they had used a Lonely Planet travel book for it. Inside there were notes and rips. The book was falling apart, and he wanted to use this exact book for me to make a ring for him to propose to his wife.    I've been nervous other times about starting to cut a book, but this is the first time I had this intense emotion that I was cutting the book itself. You could go and buy a new copy for a few pounds, but this book was so emotional and so charged that it was very difficult for me to—I put it off for a long time. It sat on my desk. “Oh, I'll do it later. I'll do it later.” I did it, but sitting there with a scalpel—because I use a scalpel for most of my work—I sat there ready to cut the first page, and that was very difficult.    Sharon: Have you ever had a book that's so dog-eared and worn that you haven't been able to use it?   Jeremy: Yes, absolutely. I've explained that to the client. No one's actually sent me one, but I have wanted to use a book because it's so beautiful, but it's falling apart. It would just fall apart while I'm creating the jewel.   Sharon: Can you put it back together if it's worn?   Jeremy: No. I've actually kept them. If books fall apart, I put them on the shelf because I think they're so beautiful as they are. I don't want to repair them because they've had a life. I'd rather go and find another copy that is usable. My shelves are littered with these old books, hundreds of years old.   Sharon: Tell us about something you're very proud of, the thing or one or two things you did with—let's call it vintage book jewelry. I don't know what else to call it.   Jeremy: That's a very difficult question because I'm always happy about the pieces I'm working on at the moment. I'm proud of all my jewels. I'm super happy with all of them, but what gets me out of bed in the morning is the piece I'm making right now. As soon that one's finished, I don't think about it; I'm thinking about the next one.   Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website. Please head to TheJewelryJourney.com to check them out.

Jared, Oriana and Ned talk about Jared's choice of topic: worldbuilding. Tolkien is so heavily identified with the concept of worldbuilding that a map of Middle-earth represents the topic on Wikipedia, and his impact in both fantasy and beyond regarding how a world that is not this actual globe we live on is perceived and presented has continuing afterechoes that don't look to disappear anytime soon. At the same time, what exactly worldbuilding IS is a hardly an agreed upon formal standard anywhere, and the amount of work that's been put into developing a story setting in any number of media, not just that of fantasy novels much less novels in general, is vast, varied and takes many particular forms. Meanwhile, Tolkien's own approach as to what worldbuilding is comes out of his own particular personal and philosophical conclusions, and doesn't always take the form of what a more stereotypical approach to the subject might be in the current day. What makes the idea of Middle-earth so compelling to readers entranced by his works, and what drives them to learn more about it or to elaborate on it in their own right? What other creators, in fiction and beyond it, successfully approach similar levels of immersion, and are there particular points of commonality to be found there? Are there particular points in Tolkien's stylistic approach that signal notable strengths in creating the sense of Middle-earth as an actual place, and how much of that might lie in a difference between received perception and the reality of the work? And how much does Jared's own forthcoming fantasy novel drive this discussion?

Noel founded Galerie Noel Guyomarc'h in 1996 and has spent nearly 30 years bringing art jewelry to Montreal—and bringing Canadian jewelry to the world. He joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how he chooses artists and exhibitions for his gallery; how he introduces art jewelry to first timers; and his hopes for the Canadian art jewelry scene. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com.    Today, we're talking to Noel Guyomarc'h in Montreal. He is the owner and founder of Galerie Noel Guyomarc'h. He wants people to see that artists create works of art and that these pieces, when they're worn, it amplifies their significance. A relationship is established between the person who wears the piece itself and the viewer. He encourages visitors to cast a new eye on jewelry. Welcome back.    Do you travel a lot for your work? Do you go to New York City Jewelry Week or Munich Jewelry Week?   Noel: Yes, in fact, there are two fairs I'm doing now. There are two events. I've done the New York City Jewelry Week three times and I'm going to do my second edition at Munich.   Sharon: Oh, wow!   Noel: I've done it this past July.   Sharon: Munich, for those who don't know, is one of the biggest art jewelry fairs in the world. How do you decide what to show there? Is it larger than your gallery?   Noel: No. Have you been already?   Sharon: Before Covid I went.   Noel: So, you know you have all the events in the city, then you have the fair and the Schmuck exhibition. All around it's galleries, and I'm part of those galleries now. To select the work is quite challenging because you can't represent the same work in other galleries, so we have to do a selection that you can show in fact. I'm showing some Canadians, some Americans and many international as well, but those are very much represented by the other galleries.    Sharon: Have you ever chosen work you thought you would show and then gone and seen—there's the handwerk mesa, which is the back commercial place, and then there are a lot of galleries all over the city. Have you ever gone and thought you'd show something, and then you saw that somebody else was showing the same thing and you changed your mind?   Noel: No, it hasn't happened yet, but it's the artists who have to let me know if they're going to show somewhere else. When I'm doing the handwerk mesa, I have no time to go to the city and look at what's on display because we're doing long hours from 9:00 in the morning to 7:00 p.m. It's very long hours. I don't have time to visit the other shows in town. We have to work with confidence with the artists. Otherwise it's not fair, but it never happened. The artist can tell me, “O.K., I may show some work with this gallery in town. It's not the same work.” It's usually very different. It's not the same connection, so it's not the same work.   Sharon: It's interesting. I always think that for a person who's going to buy just a piece or two, it's a place to see what's going on in the world in terms of art jewelry or art things going on. Do you find that?   Noel: I went a few times to Munich before, but just as a visitor. Yeah, if you want to be aware of what is happening, you have to go there. It's what I did, and I still feel the same. It's very avant garde. If you want to see new ideas, new approaches, it's the place to be and to go.   Sharon: Have you ever seen an artist there and you said, “Oh, that's new. I think I'll ask them if they're represented or if I can carry them in the gallery.” Have you ever done that?   Noel: Oh yeah. I even took some shows. I think it was in 2019, I went and there was a show with Taiwanese artists. I said I wanted that show in my gallery because I found the treatment, the ideas, the way they were working with materials, everything, it was very interesting, and I said, “O.K.” At the end of the fair, we organized everything and I showed the work in my gallery.    I'm meeting a lot of new artists. Last year I met Nikita—I forget his name. He's working with onyx, and he has done great work by carving onyx at Idar-Oberstein. I decided to show his work, and I brought it and showed it in New York City Jewelry Week. I was showing this work there. So, it happens sometimes that I meet new, fabulous artists.    Sharon: Who is it, Idar-Oberstein? That's a gem-cutting center.   Noel: Exactly, yeah.   Sharon: He was cutting onyx there and then he incorporated it into jewelry?   Noel: No, they look a little bit industrial. It's like tubes, but they're quite large tubes carved in onyx. He built it to look like tubing, but it's not only tubing, it's also quiet and calm pieces. At first glance, they look like PVC tubes, but they're made of onyx.   Sharon: Wow, that would be hard to do.   Noel: Yes.   Sharon: Why do you stay in the gallery world? I presume it's difficult, but the gallerists I've talked to say it's hard. Even though they like it, it's hard. Why do you stay?   Noel: Why do I stay? I think I feel like I'm part of something bigger than just me. It's to help the artist pursue what they really want to do, to have a space for them. I like the contact with people also. For me, it's very important to know. Recently I met a young couple that are both living in the Montreal area. They jumped into the gallery by accident, and they found what they really liked. They were so pleased, and they never stopped coming back. Just to meet those people who are so open-minded and open to receive what I show them and explain to them, that's the reason I like to do this shop.    I also like the idea of community, to be all together. I like when students have traditional training, but they come to the gallery and they're curious. I can explain to them what's happening in the field, because sometimes it's not taught when contemporary jewelry is. Also, it changes, communication with people I really like.   Sharon: Do you find that people come from all over Canada or the U.S.?    Noel: All over the world.   Sharon: Yeah?   Noel: It's very nice. Some people recently came from Australia. We talked and I said, “There are really nice galleries in Australia,” and they had never heard about them. It's nice to share that as well, “O.K., you can go to Funaki Gallery. You can go to other galleries there.” They were shocked to learn that they have such places like mine, but in their own country. I think it's nice to share that, to be all of us in the community and support each other. It's nice.   Sharon: Let's say I'm an artist. How do I come to you and say, “Will you carry my stuff?” Do I send a picture, or do I come and bring the actual material to you?   Noel: I like when they make an appointment with their pieces at the gallery. I like it when we have an appointment because we're always working on projects, so we're always busy. Now, I'm working on Munich because Munich is in three weeks, so I have much to do. After that, I have a show with Monica Brigger, a German artist who lives in France. We're always working for the future. We're always working on projects, so that's why for the artist, when they come to the gallery, I like to be ready to receive them. So, it's nice to get an appointment. For sure, it's happened over 27 years. Some artists came and were wearing their pieces, and I said, “O.K., what's that?” and talked to them, but I like when it's organized.   Sharon: Have you seen an interest or understanding of art jewelry growing in Canada and/or around the world?   Noel: It's pretty difficult to answer that question. I think in the past 40 years, there were many collectors and buyers, and I think all the things we've seen have been very dynamic over the past years. Now I think we are in a challenging time because there are fewer and fewer collectors, and I think it's difficult to create new collectors. To pursue what the collectors did in the past and to add new collectors, it's very difficult.    Sharon: Yeah, I think that's something that all jewelry organizations talk about. How do you get young people involved? What do you think? Do you think it's having a young collectors society? What's the demographic of the people who buy from you?   Noel: There are a lot of people because even if I have a gallery, mainly the reason is because I have collectors from outside Canada, not Canadian collectors. I have some very important American collectors, and some are international as well. It's very difficult because in Canada, there are just a few, not many, and they're not buying every month. If they can buy three or four pieces a year, it's already a lot. After that, to create new buyers like the couple I recently met, they're buying quite a lot because I know they want to build a collection. I always give all the right information for them to have and to get in their collection. Also, the pieces I've sold are not just for collectors. They're just people who like that specific piece and they're ready to buy it. So, they can buy a piece every two or three years in their goal to build the collection.   Sharon: How do you build a collection? Is it buying a certain artist? Is it just buying and keeping things? How does one build a collection? How do you build a collector?   Noel: What a challenging question! Because there are two kinds of collectors. I have some collectors that are just buying pieces by an artist. They have pieces not just by one artist, but they focus on a few because they like their work, and they believe in their work. They have bought pieces from different periods of time and different pieces and different collections, and they're building that collection because they like that work. They believe in what has been done and where this work is situated in the field and in the career of the artist.    I have collectors that just fall in love with pieces. They like to buy and add pieces in their collection because it's very different. It's an interesting way of expressing what the artist did, so they're ready to buy that. They're not focusing on a specific artist, but other work. But to build collectors, it's another story. It's very difficult.   Sharon: I know. It's a hard question. It's hard to find them. I understand that. I hear so many definitions, but I've wondered about it myself.   Noel: I think it's different from painting and sculpture because in jewelry, we don't buy for an investment, which is the case sometimes when you buy paintings or sculptures. They feel like, “O.K., over the years, it's going to take a value.” We're not sure that it will happen in this field, even if I can see an auction and think that some jewelry is selling very well and higher than what they were at the beginning. It's a good sign. It's a really good sign. I think you have to share your patience for that, and I think if there is somebody who likes it or receives it very well, you can mention that you are starting a collection.    Sharon: That's interesting. Whether it's jewelry or art or sculpture, I think of a collector as somebody who buys and says, “I like this artist's work. I'm not necessarily going to wear it, but I like what they did,” and then they take it home and put it in a drawer and never take it out again. So, I don't know what a collector is. Is a collector somebody who buys something, or is it somebody who collects because, like you're saying, they want to be able to show a progression or “He did this 20 years ago and this is what he is doing today”?   Noel: Yeah, it's difficult. I know that some very important collectors—you interviewed Susan Cummins not a long time ago. She's a major collector, but she's never worn a piece of jewelry.   Sharon: Yes, I know.   Noel: And she said, “They're in my drawers,” but she's a very important collector. So, it's interesting to see that. Is it the right way to initiate people for contemporary jewelry and to start to collect? Because I think we have to show them. We have to show how they can be worn, what's happening when you wear them, because that's your behavior, the way you start a communication with others. Also, the fact that you're wearing a piece makes it different. So, is it the right way to introduce people to contemporary jewelry? I don't know. It's difficult to say that I like when pieces are worn, not just kept in the drawer.   Sharon: Let's say somebody comes in and doesn't know what your jewelry is and they buy a piece. Let's say it's their first piece. Maybe they have an intention to buy more. They don't know if they will or they won't buy more, but do you talk to them about a collection or say, “This is a great way to start a collection”?    Noel: Yeah, I always mention that. I think for my 20th anniversary, I got some written notes, one from Susan Cummins, one from—   Sharon: Notes?   Noel: Just some words about the fact that it was my 20-year anniversary.   Sharon: Like testimonials?   Noel: Yes, a horrible word.   Sharon: O.K., and Susan Cummins is a very important collector.    Noel: She wrote something about the collection, and then I put it on my wall so people could read the different testimonials I've received on the walls in the gallery. Just the fact that I have that, it's always a very nice way to introduce people. “Oh, O.K., jewelry can be collected.” It's a step. Through that, I think it's nice, because I can't explain much more than those words on the wall. Then people are thinking much more about what they are planning to buy.   Sharon: Whether they are planning to buy a ring to match what they already have, or to buy another piece by the artist? Either way?   Noel: Yes, either way.   Sharon: Not to put you on the spot, but who else? You mentioned Susan Cummins. Who is a big collector in Canada that you can talk about, or anywhere in the world who you say is a big collector?    Noel: There's Deedie Rose. I don't know if you know Deedie.   Sharon: Deedie Rose in Texas, yes.   Noel: She buys very often from the gallery and her sister and daughter-in-law, Catherine, as well. Those are the two that really support the gallery. They really like what I have. From time to time there are other collectors for sure, like Susan Bentley.   Sharon: Do they come in person, or do they come online?   Noel: Online.   Sharon: Online. That's interesting. I don't get to come to Montreal that much, but I hope I can get to see your gallery because I know how many people are going online now. Thank you very much for being with us today. I really appreciate it.   Noel: Thank you very much for the invite. Thank you, Sharon.   We will have photos posted on the website.

Did you know that 95% of all SMS (aka text) messages are opened, read and responded to within 3 minutes?  If you think about this when it comes to marketing your jewelry website, this is EXCITING information. You know why? Because, when a subscriber opens up your message, the chances that they'll click through to your website are so much higher than email marketing. The data tells us that 19% of people click through on average to an SMS message as opposed to just 3% in an email (via smscomparison.com).  That's why SMS marketing is one of the most powerful and effective forms of marketing for ecommerce and online sales for a jewelry company when done right.

We will hear about all of this as well as how he came to operate a gallery and what he thinks about art jewelry in Canada. Noel, welcome to the program. Noel: Thank you. It's nice to be here. Sharon: We just had a long talk about how to say his name because there's an apostrophe before the H. Guyomarc'h. So, tell us about your jewelry journey. Noel: I started about 35 years ago in Montreal. I was working in a jewelry place which showed fashion, some art jewelry and some antiques from Asia. It's there where I started to be more aware of jewelry, but there was no contemporary jewelry or art jewelry, a very small collection, in fact. That place closed, and I decided to support local artists. I said, “O.K., I should open mine,” and it's what I did 27 years ago. Sharon: Wow! That's a long time. You were the only place around. I only know of one other place in Canada that has art jewelry. Noel: Yeah, since the past 25 years, many places have closed. Now I think we have two galleries in Canada which are presenting art jewelry, so it's not much. The other gallery, Lapine Gallery, presents only Canadian artists, but all different crafts, not only jewelry. My gallery is only dedicated to contemporary jewelry. Sharon: Oh, my gosh! Noel: There is not much in Canada. It's really sad. Sharon: When you look at a map, it's a big area. Noel: Oh, yeah. Sharon: We're a smaller area on the West Coast, but we don't have as much as the East Coast does. Tell us a little more. Would people be surprised if they found out this is what you're doing today? Were you artistic? Did you make jewelry? Noel: From the people who knew me a long time ago, yes, they would be surprised because it was not what I was planning to do in my life. I was working in administration. I'm originally from France, and I moved to Canada 25 years ago. My background was more in economy and administration, so nothing to do with art or even jewelry. There were never jewelers in my family. When I moved to Canada, I met people who were making jewelry. In a way, I started to be more introduced to jewelry. Sharon: Tell us about your gallery and how you introduce people to it, because you have very alternative materials in terms of jewelry. How do you introduce people? Noel: I like them to come in. They know already that there's something different because the front windows always display unusual work. So, when they come in, they are surprised by the diversity. They look at things, and when I see that there is some question in their eyes, I go to them and start to explain the work they're looking at. That way, they look at all the works in the gallery differently. Sometimes you're more attracted by one specific thing because of the colors, because of the materials, because of the idea. So, the fact that I explain the work, they understand that all the other works I have at the gallery are in the same group. They all have a specific meaning, a specific way of being done, of being worn, of being realized by artists. It's interesting, the effect. Sharon: Are people attracted because it's work by artists or because it's just different jewelry? Noel: They're curious because the format, the colors, the treatment of materials are very unusual. They're just surprised. It's funny because there are two sides of showing such jewelry. You have people who are curious; they want to learn more. There are others that say it's not jewelry because it's too stylized. It's very interesting to see the two behaviors in front of such work, in fact. Sharon: Do you have people who come in and say, “Oh, this looks interesting,” and they walk out with something they never experienced before? Noel: Exactly, yeah. Very often it's not the first time they're going to buy something. They need to get used to looking at them, to get used to eventually wearing it. It's a process. It's a work in progress, and a working process as well because they have to get used to such pieces. It's very interesting. Sharon: Are most of your customers women? Noel: I can say yes, 75% are female and 25% are men. Sharon: 25% is a pretty large amount. Noel: Yeah, I don't know what's been happening the past 15 years. It's like the men started to wear jewelry or they started to buy for their wives, but they want to buy something they like more than their husband or wife will like. It's very interesting, but it's not the same. I don't know. The past 15 years I've seen a difference. Before, people wanted to buy something to seduce their wives or husbands, and now they're acknowledging—because of me, maybe; I don't know—but they want to be sure that the piece pleases them before it will please their wife or husband. It's a slightly different way of buying, which I like. Sharon: Were you a jeweler? Did you ever make anything? Noel: I took some jewelry classes before I opened the gallery, but I realized that was not for me. That was very fast. After a few years, I realized that no, it's not for me to make them. I had ideas, but I didn't have the patience for the making aspect. I was surrounded by talented people, so why do something I will not be pleased with? But it was a good thing because I learned many techniques that way, so when I look at some work, I know the quality as well. I can see if it's well-made or not because I took those classes. Sharon: What do you consider art jewelry? What do you say when people come in and say, “What's art jewelry?” Noel: I try to explain that it's a result of a vision, of questioning, of reflection by one artist about what jewelry can be. It can be inspired by real jewelry, by the environment, by the field as well. No matter the techniques of the material used, it's the expression, the idea. The main goal is for them to express themselves. Sharon: Do you always say it's art jewelry by jewelers, or do you say it's jewelry by artists? Noel: Most of the time, I say by artists. That's interesting because now—it's not new—there are some people that were in different fields and they started to make jewelry, but they don't have the background of it. Just the fact that they use different kinds of materials, they don't need to have that goldsmith or metalsmith training. They choose jewelry to express themselves. Sometimes they know silver or precious materials. So, it's more the artists than jewelers. It can be jewelry artists, which means they've had the training, and artists. Sharon: Can you look at a piece and tell if it's somebody who has classical training, but then started to make jewelry with paper or plastic? Noel: Oh yeah, we can feel it. But when you have many training experiences, it gives you freedom to do what you want. I think it's nice when you have good training, for sure. Sharon: What was your catalyst for starting the gallery? Why did you decide, after working in these other places, to start a gallery? Noel: I worked in that place for five years, so it's where I learned a lot of things. Slowly, that place was showing more artistic types of work. Among those jewelry artists there, there were a few that I started to be very close to. Then the place I was working at closed because of the economic situation, and I said to those artists, “I've got to open something in a few years to support you and encourage you.” It's what I did after maybe three years that the place where I was working closed. I opened my gallery to support a few Canadian artists at the beginning, but it has grown very fast. We started to invite artists from everywhere and curate shows. Sharon: How do you curate shows? How do you decide somebody warrants a whole exhibition or if it's a group showing? Tell us what you have now and what's upcoming, that sort of thing. Noel: Sometimes it's curated shows. I did a few with invited artists or asked curators to do shows for the gallery. Sometimes, I'm doing a selection of artists because of their work. Sometimes it's from countries. I have done a show last year with Japanese artists. I selected seven with different backgrounds and different aesthetics, but I found it interesting to get them all together. Some of them have been trained in Japan and some outside of Japan, so the results were very different. Now, I have a show called “Animal, Vegetable, Mineral,” and that show has been curated by Melanie Egan. She's the head of the Craft and Design department from the Harbourfront Centre in Toronto. Sharon: What is her name? Noel: Her name is Melanie Egan. She's the head of the Craft and Design department at the Harbourfront in Toronto. She curated that show. It was presented last September. I was part of the project in a way because she wanted that show to travel to Montreal. I said yes, but the show was really big, so I did a short selection of work because we don't have the same space, even if my space is big. It was very interesting to see why she selected specific work. It was about Nordic work. She invited people from Sweden, Norway, Iceland and from Canada, different places from Canada. It was a very interesting show. Sharon: As you were going through to decide what to take from the show, since you couldn't show everything she had, how did you decide? Noel: It was more simple because sometimes she had similar items. I said, “O.K., instead of six necklaces, I'm going to bring four over because I don't have space for more.” They were by an artist from Finland. She has done huge, huge, huge pieces. They're not wearable art pieces. The dimensions are oversize. It's always more jewelry for the wall than jewelry for the body. So, it was big, big, pieces, and I picked the bracelet because it was three meters by two meters big. It was very big. Can you imagine if the bracelet was that size, what was in that piece? So, I just took the bracelet. Sharon: Did you look at the pieces and how they were made? Noel: Yes, I went to the opening in Toronto to look at all the work, to do the selection, to make the right selection for the gallery. Sharon: What do you consider the right selection? What will sell? Noel: Most of the pieces were not for sale because the Harbourfront Centre is a nonprofit organization. They invited the artists and got a grant to bring everything in. So, I have done that show in Montreal, but I'm not supposed to sell because all the pieces have to be returned because of customs issues. Finally, I sold a few so the artist had to ship them back to me, but at the beginning it was not a project to sell the work. But I had demand, so it was nice. It was great. It was a great turnout. Sharon: What's your favorite thing to sell? What do you like most about art jewelry? Do you like brooches? Men like brooches—I call them brooches. When I think of a man wearing jewelry who's not wearing a leather bracelet, I think of the brooches I see men wear, with lapel pins on their lapel. What do you like and what do you sell? Noel: I have a lot of brooches at the gallery because I like the format. It's very nice for the artist. They like to work in that format because they can express themselves. They know much more challenging things. A necklace can't be too heavy, earrings not too heavy, well-balanced, rings not too big. There are always questions of sizes as well, so it's a challenge. The brooches are a very rare form to express themselves. So, I like them, but I don't sell many brooches. It's not the best-selling item, but I have a lot because I like them. The best seller is necklaces and earrings and rings. Those three are very good, but brooches, I'm wearing them a lot. Slowly I succeeded to sell a few because I'm wearing them. When people come in, it's like, “I never thought about wearing brooches,” because they feel that it's not contemporary enough. The perception is like their grandmothers were wearing brooches, not them. But it's changing a little bit. Sharon: I guess when I see art jewelry exhibitions, I always think of brooches. You only do one. With earrings, you have to make sure they match and that sort of thing. It seems better for an artist to do a brooch. Noel: Yeah, but it's a piece that can encapsulate very nice ideas. I think that's why it's a favorite that I like to do. But sometimes, like I said, it's not always the best seller. Sharon: That leads me to the next question. They say that having a gallery, no matter what kind of gallery but especially an art jewelry gallery, is something of a passion. It's not because you want to make a lot of money; it's a passion thing. What do you think about that? Noel: It's absolutely true. I'm pleased because I've succeeded to make a living from it, but for sure, it's not where you're making a lot of money. Even the six or seven first years of the gallery, I had a job outside the gallery just to get an income. It was very challenging at the beginning. Now, I'm glad because it's balancing well, but I do it just because I'm very passionate about jewelry and I like to show the artists' work. I like to present it, but the return is not much. The return comes from the artists or when you meet someone. You like the work and buy it, and that means that you have done a good job. From the beginning, I didn't want to have debts by running a gallery. For me, it was not the purpose. For me, it has to pay for everything, and as long as I can gain a little income from that, I feel O.K. But it's true that we have to be passionate about the selection of work as well. I think for the gallery, I'm not doing easy sales pieces. I always try to challenge myself and challenge the artists themselves, so I have to keep motivated to do it. At times, it's very challenging. Sharon: Do you ever say to an artist, “This would be wonderful if you made it pink or blue or you added this,” or do you just let them do it? Noel: I don't want to be behind them and say, “You should do this because you're going to sell them easier.” No, my job is to create wonderful settings. I really trust them. I believe them. I don't want to influence that. Sharon: Do you see a difference in art jewelry between the U.S. and Canada or the rest of the world? Noel: Yes, there are some differences. It's the fact that we don't have a long story here about art jewelry. It's not that old. And it's the fact that there are not so many schools as well in Canada, and the fact that we don't have so many galleries to show those works, I think it's—what can I say?—it's very challenging for the artist here. So, they're not making the same type of work. Sometimes they're doing a more commercial type of work and one other kind of avant garde of work, but there are not enough galleries to show their work. I think if there were more, it would be more motivating. I'm almost the only one here, and I can't say yes to everybody. It's going better for the jewelry fields because there are some platforms, like the one from Toronto. There are also some events like the New York City Jewelry Week. There are a lot of Canadians going there and going to Europe as well. There are some fairs where the artists can go so they can show their work, not always through a gallery, but they can organize by themselves or pop up at events to promote themselves. I think that helps for the creation as well. Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website. Please head to TheJewelryJourney.com to check them out.

When you're a designer, you've often got one customer: the one right in front of you. And you've got essentially one product: the one you're making. With every job, you're building both your reputation and your portfolio. But here's the kicker. If you're doing custom work, then your customer is also your boss.  No pressure.  But pressure — and lots of it — is how diamonds are made. Jewelry makers like  Steve Credeur are tasked with making not just something beautiful for their customer-bosses, but something unique and precious too.  But that's the way Steve likes it. He takes pride in his company, Steve Charles Jewelers, being a small part of a family's big story. It all starts with a one-on-one consultation. It's a process so special, you're going to need a referral. Steve doesn't advertise his location. He takes appointments only. He tries to stay under the radar.   Despite actively avoiding brand awareness, Steve has built a clientele of around over 5,000 customers nationwide. He was born and raised in Carencro and lives in Youngsville. You'll have to make an appointment to find out the rest.   Jewelry is just one kind of design of course. There are as many design jobs as there are industries and Maureen Dugas Foster has worked in a lot of them.  She's worked in project management, sales, and business development. She's worked as an artist, in community engagement and as a teacher.  Maureen's training is in architecture, she's the owner of Dugas Foster Design, a side-hustle studio that specializes in residential additions and remodeling. The common thread in all of that is people and creativity. In 2016 Maureen founded Designing Women of Acadiana. It's a civic group that serves as a gathering place for women who work in creative fields. They talk shop, go on architecture tours, host speakers and even have their own Mardi Gras walking krewe. Out to Lunch Acadiana is recorded live over lunch at Tsunami Sushi in downtown Lafayette.

In this episode, Paul welcomes back David Kellie, the CEO of the Natural Diamond Council (NDC). The conversation starts out with a discussion about the secondhand, or recycled, diamond market and how that could portray value retention for natural diamonds. Next, Paul and David talk about the NDC's recent “mystery shopper” program and how that work has shed light on consumers' as well as jewelers' understanding of lab versus natural diamonds. The two then talk about how lab-diamonds are covered by the media and how jewelers in Asia clearly segregate the way that they sell lab and natural diamonds. Finally, the two discuss the impact of having Ana de Armas as an ambassador for the NDC and whether a Super Bowl ad for natural diamonds is in the cards.                                                                                                                     Hosted by: Paul Zimnisky Guest: David Kellie Guest plug: www.naturaldiamonds.com More information on PZDA's State of the Diamond Market report: www.paulzimnisky.com/products   Show contact: paul@paulzimnisky.com or visit www.paulzimnisky.com.   Please note that the contents of this podcast includes anecdotes, observations and opinions.

Rob interviewed Gwynne Rukenbrod Smith and Sehar Peerzada for the American Craft Council, their work and what to expect from the American Craft Made Marketplace's return to Baltimore. Gwynne Rukenbrod SmithGwynne Rukenbrod Smith, a widely respected member of the national craft community, has been named senior director of programs and partnerships at the American Craft CouncilSehar PeerzadaPatricia Sehar Peerzada creates clothing influenced by traditional sources in Africa, Asia, Native America, and Europe. She often uses natural fibers which she hand prints using the ancient art of block printing which she learned studying traditional arts in Pakistan. Controlling the placement, intensity, and content of the prints in her limited edition separates and ensembles, makes each piece a wearable art treasure. Concentrating on the drape and fall of the fabric, Sehar flatters the figure of all types of women with her simple, unique shapes. Peerzada's work has been carried in Nordstrom, Toast and Strawberries, Origins, C'Est La Vie, Metamorphosis, Sankofa, Zawadi, and many other boutiques. Her lines, Urban Masala and Saharah, have been featured in magazines, books, and fashion blogs such as Ebony, Heart and Soul, the Washington Post, Dubai Times, Pakistani Glamour, Today's Black Woman, "Threads of Time: The Fabric of History," Essence Online, Guyana Fete BHF Network, CIAA Africa, and many more. Her work has been worn by Sweet Honey In The Rock, Aretha Franklin, T'Keyah Crystal Kemah, Danny Glover, and others. Sehar is a local artist participating in the The American Craft Council (ACC) emerging artist program. American Craft Made Marketplace Returns to BaltimoreAmerican Craft Council to bring 350 contemporary craft artists together March 3-5, 2023 The American Craft Council (ACC), a national nonprofit dedicated to supporting craft and its artists, is bringing its in-person flagship event to the Baltimore Convention Center March 3-5, 2023. The three-day American Craft Made marketplace is a celebration of all things handmade featuring a juried selection of artists from across the country working in a variety of mediums, including ceramics, glass, jewelry, clothing, furniture, and basketry.  With 350 contemporary craft artists selected following an application and jury process, the 2023 event will allow collectors, supporters and enthusiasts of design, craft and art to discover and shop the best quality craft in the country. This year's marketplace will once again feature the Emerging Artist Program, an initiative that provides a pathway for early-career artists into ACC's established craft marketplaces. With lower-cost booths, extensive exhibitor support, and marketplace award opportunities, this program gives emerging artists an unparalleled opportunity to grow their clientele and careers. The event will also include ACC's School-to-Market program which bridges the gap between higher educational curriculum in craft and the marketplace by providing undergraduate and graduate students a public venue for a curated, collective exhibition of their work.  The Truth in This Art podcast's current season is sponsored by The Gutierrez Memorial Fund and The Robert W. Deutsch Foundation, both of which are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in Baltimore and beyond. The Gutierrez Memorial Fund focuses on supporting artists and art organizations that serve Maryland communities, while The Robert W.

All we can say about this episode is "hang on tight!" The America you thought you knew, may not be as you were taught. Dr. Professor Robin McCutcheon earned her PhD in Economics from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan and has been teaching economics for over 20 years. In all of the economics courses she teaches {Principles of Economics (both micro- and macro-), Money & Banking, Comparative Economic Systems, Labor Economics, and Managerial Economics}, she uses the Principles of Free Market Systems. Dr. Robin uses Ayn Rand, Ludwig Von Mises, F.A. Hayek, Milton Friedman, and W. Cleon Skousen, and every idea she can glean from radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, to explain in plain English how our Country's Founding Principles lead to free markets and are the best path to liberty, freedom, and prosperity for everyone. Over 90% of her students exit her courses avid and staunch Libertarian or Fiscal Conservatives.
