Meet Keith Fairhurst. He wasn't born into business. In fact, he grew up in a family shaped by war and frugality—his parents from the working-class streets of Liverpool during WWII, later starting fresh in South Africa in the 1950s.Back then, the dream was simple: Get a stable job, stick with it for 40 years, and retire with a pension. But Keith's dream? It started with a surfboard.At 13, Keith wanted to ride the waves—not just metaphorically, but literally. So, he found a way to fund it. Leatherwork was booming, so he learned the craft, made belts and bags by hand, and sold them at school. His first lesson? You can turn your curiosity into cash.That experiment led to a bigger idea: test small, learn fast, and never wait for permission.From leather belts to national marketing roles, to building and selling companies—Keith's path is anything but linear. He's lived the scrappy start-up grind and the corporate climb. But through it all, one insight stayed true: Selling isn't just a skill—it's the heartbeat of every great business.Today, Keith helps founders who are great at what they do but struggle to sell what they're worth. This episode unpacks the truth behind the 94% of businesses that fail to sell—and what you can do to make sure you're not one of them.

Introduction to Anglo-Saxon Leather working Leather working was an essential craft in Anglo-Saxon England (circa 5th to 11th centuries) and played a crucial role in everyday life. The Anglo-Saxons were skilled artisans who relied on natural resources for crafting items, and leather was highly prized for its durability and versatility. The leather working process during this period involved a blend of practical craftsmanship and traditional techniques passed down through generations. Leather was primarily obtained from the hides of domesticated animals, particularly cows, sheep, and goats. The hides were tanned to preserve them, a process that involved treating the skin with natural substances like oak bark, which was abundant in England. This method, called vegetable tanning, helped to make the leather durable and resistant to decay. The tools used by Anglo-Saxon leatherworkers were fairly simple but effective, including: Awls: pointed tools for piercing holes. Knives: for cutting the leather into shape. Bone and wooden needles: used for stitching pieces together. Scrapers: to remove hair and fat from the hide during preparation. The crafting of leather goods required several key techniques: Cutting and Shaping: After the hide was tanned, it was cut into appropriate shapes using sharp knives. Stitching: Anglo-Saxon leatherworkers used thread made from sinew, gut, or leather strips to stitch pieces of leather together. Leather thongs were also used for lacing items. Decoration: Leather items were often tooled or stamped with patterns for decoration, a process that involved pressing or carving designs into the leather while it was still damp and pliable. Dyeing: Leather could be dyed using natural substances like plant materials or minerals to achieve different colors. However, this was not as widespread as other techniques, and many leather items remained their natural hue. Leather was employed for a wide variety of purposes, from the practical to the decorative. Common leather goods included: Clothing and Footwear: Shoes, belts, and gloves were made from leather to provide protection and warmth. Pouches and Bags: Leather bags and pouches were essential for carrying goods and personal items, often worn at the waist or across the body. Horse Tack: Saddles, reins, and harnesses for horses were made of leather, reflecting the importance of horses in transportation and warfare. Armour: Leather was sometimes used as part of armor, especially for straps and bindings on metal armor. It was also used to make protective garments like leather jerkins. Leather working was both a domestic craft and a specialised trade in Anglo-Saxon society. Many households would have been capable of basic leather working, but more complex items, such as finely tooled belts or saddles, were likely made by skilled artisans. Leather goods were practical, but they also served as status symbols; finely made and decorated items were prized possessions among the wealthy. Leather working not only fulfilled practical needs but also had cultural and symbolic importance. Leather items were often decorated with intricate designs, reflecting the Anglo-Saxon appreciation for craftsmanship and artistry. In summary, Anglo-Saxon leather working was an essential craft that provided functional, durable goods for everyday life while also allowing artisans to express their skill and creativity. The tradition of leather working from this period influenced later medieval craftsmanship and continues to be studied and admired today.

Each boot design is unique and deliberate, raised up from raw materials with a thorough knowledge of craft and tradition.

She is Prisca in Rom 16:3; 1 Cor 16:19; 2 Tim 4:19. Priscilla is the diminutive form of Prisca.CorinthActs 18:1-3Expelled from Rome by emperor Claudius.Christianity as a sect of Judaism.Being God’s people doesn’t necessarily shield us from injustice.Aquila was Jewish. Presumably Priscilla was, too, although that is not made totally clear.Leatherwork: a versatile and wise way to serve in ministry—in the same profession as Paul.SyriaActs 18:18Travel time with PaulProbably headed to Syrian AntiochEphesusActs 18:24-26Apollos was on the right track, but apparently off-base on baptism.John’s baptism did not confer the Spirit. Yet it could be argued that Apollos gave strong evidence of the Spirit in his life.The dozen Ephesian disciples in the following chapter seem to have been significantly more in need of correction than Apollos. Paul baptized them. Apollos may have been baptised, esp. if Luke has arranged these two passages to be perfectly parallel. But he may also have placed the two accounts together because they were opposites: the Ephesians needed to be baptized, but not Apollos.Priscilla and Aquila taught ApollosApollos was a powerful figure; learning required humility on this part.He is not too proud to say not to being taught by a woman.Priscilla can be viewed as the married counterpart to Phoebe.One is single in ministry.One is married in ministry.1 Cor 16:191 Cor was written from Ephesus.P&A were well connected.They led a group together.RomePerhaps they have returned to Rome after the death of Claudius in 54. (Until the next expulsion?)Rom 16:3-4They head the list of Paul's greetings.They were courageous.They were appreciated by many.Aquila and Priscilla were persons of character.2 Tim 4:19Paul’s final letterP&A are greeted at the top of the list, just as in Romans.1 Tim was written to Ephesus. Perhaps they are back in Ephesus again (?)Comments  The names of Priscilla and Aquila often appear on lesson titles on marriage or couples ministry. That’s understandable. Their working relationship I’m sure was admirable.Priscilla and Aquila were tentmakers, or leatherworkers. Self-supporting—very smart! More the norm for Christian leaders than the clergy-laity model, supporting full-time salaries work for leaders, and which nearly every denomination has adopted.1 Cor 9:5-6: Barnabas didn’t take along his wife, if he was married; ditto for Paul. Sometimes one spouse will be fully engaged in missionary work, sometimes both. Or it may be a hybrid situation.The Bible never defines ministry as full-time church work.Nor does the Bible require such persons to be married, or their spouse to work alongside them.Priscilla teaches Apollos.As suggested, Priscilla may be the married version of Phoebe.Going it alone, like Paul (though often he wasn’t alone)—choosing not to marry, like Jesus, or to serve in a special ministry in which your spouse does not share, is totally fine. But if you have the passion and the stamina to be a vocational missionary, Priscilla and Aquila may serve as strong role models for you.

Hats, skirts, belts, jewelry, all of the items are hand made and one of a kind. With the piecework, embedded gems stones and filligree lacework, the styles are unique and layered.

This episode we talk a little bit about failure, specifically how it pertains to building, creating, and otherwise making things. Thanks for listening!

Snowmageddon was coming so we thought it was time to take a little road trip. OK…snowmageddon is a made-up word, but goodness! The weather forecasters make it sound like a little snow will be the end of the world. Drama in the news…drama in the weather. In today’s episode, you’ll find us recording as we are driving down the road. We’re on our way to our RV after a few weeks of short trips packed full of events. Here’s a list of the highlights of all that has happened since our last show: Aurora Colorado for puppy delivery Golden, CO Lookout Mountain Buffalo Bill’s Gravesite The beginning of the busy music season, which means…band practice! Leatherwork trips Council Bluffs IA to visit Brandy and family Kearney, Nebraska 40th Annual United Nebraska Muzzleloaders Convention Manhattan KS 35th Annual Muzzleloading Association Convention & Trade Show Lake of the Ozarks, MO   We hope you enjoy the episode as we talk about our snow day in Council Bluff, Iowa and all the other events we enjoyed in just four short weeks. We also reveal something that we’re a bit disappointed about, but our disappointment is very much overshadowed by wonderfully joyful news. Also revealed…a new possible career for Robert. Join us for the ride.        

This episode I suggest three books to pick up and read. One is on leathercraft, one is on blacksmithing, and the last one is on work in general. Toward the end, I give a little shout out to a blacksmith I've recently met through Instagram, Jordan Goodwin of Axe and Anvil. Check his Instagram page out or look him up at https://axe-n-anvil.com/ Enjoy! 

Master woodworker Terry Evans stops by Medicine Man Gallery studio to speak with host Dr. Mark Sublette about his lifelong commitment to art and working in wood and leather. Leatherwork, farm work, and ultimately woodworking are all discussed, with an emphasis on education and the persistence necessary to succeed as a traveling artist in today's art fair market. From teaching for 40 years as a high school art teacher in Kansas City to being represented by Medicine Man Gallery, Terry's interesting story continues to unfold in this episode of the Art Dealer Diaries.

Hello there! First of all, thank you for even considering listening to this podcast. You're time is important to me and I hope it is well spent by listening. Speaking of time, if you don't want to spend 10 minutes hearing about some wallets I have for sale then feel free to skip from minute 17 to time marker 27:54. A video will be uploaded to the Banecast Facebook page where you can see said wallets. Peace! 

In this episode, we follow up on a whole bunch of projects from previous episodes. How did our refurbished cast iron cookware hold up over time? How is the vermiculture (composting with earthworms) project progressing? How did the cheese press work? Have we kept making yoghurt? Listen in to hear updates on all of these projects and more.

In this episode, I talk about being grateful for the complex process and series of events that goes into being able to perform the crafts we love. From the cattle rancher to the airline pilot to the retail store, so much goes into getting something as simple as a leather hide from the cow to the consumer. Think about it and be grateful! 

This is an update episode after being silent for almost two weeks. Lots of fun stuff coming up! 

Here it is! The final episode of this fun and slightly crazy 30 day challenge! I talk about a number of things related to having completed this challenge and I give some announcements about future plans. Thank you for listening! 

Well, this is kind of a hodgepodge of thoughts on hard work. Nothing to groundbreaking here, but hopefully it is encouraging and gives you the motivation you need to work hard! 

We hear a lot about "the grind" or "the hustle", but it dawned on me that what we mean by those terms would have been nothing new to our forefathers. We talk about 12 and 14 hour days like we're something special. We're not. We talk about working from sunup to sundown and then some, as if we're a new breed of human. We're not. All that has happened is the old way has been resurrected and given a new name. We call it "the grind" and "the hustle." Our great-great-grandfathers would of simply called it "work." 

In this episode I give a very basic list of what someone needs in order to start the craft and art of blacksmithing. I then go into what my personal, daily grind looks like as I've done this podcast and tried advancing my skill level in the trades of blacksmithing and leathercraft. 

Art has objective parameters, and beauty is much the same. This is part 2 of a 3 part miniseries on the objective standards given for the crafts specifically and art generally. 

In this episode I give a recap from a day's experience at the Feast of the Hunter's Moon in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. From there I discuss a portion of the book "The Art of Blacksmithing" about how the blacksmith is gone in the sense of a necessary community member but survives through artistic participants and preservationists today. 

The armor of God and the old armorers and leathermakers are discussed. 

Here I give two more positive aspects of young men being given the opportunity to undergo an apprenticeship. 

In this first episode of a little miniseries, I discuss the need young men have for apprenticeships. 

In this episode, I talk about the key role of observation, the damage of indecisiveness, and the critical aspect of thinking in blacksmithing and life. 

In this episode I discuss the top three lessons I've learned while putting my hands to the work of leathercraft. 

Here are some thoughts on the fact we were created to be creative and what that means for taking part in the trades.  

Here is episode 10! My fourth reason for learning the trades is fairly simple--I want to be a self reliant man who upholds the goodness of the patriarchy. One way I can do that is by the practical means of providing for my family with my own two hands through my own entrepreneurial adventure. Another way is by passing the skills I learn on to my sons. 

This go around I talk about the general benefits of working hard, physically, and how physical labor also requires a person to break a mental sweat. 

Rest and the tyranny of the 40 hour work week. 

While working at a desk job, Ryan Popoff took on leatherwork as a creative outlet. Initially making a minimalistic wallet for himself, Ryan's wife Jill, encouraged him to sell what he made online. Ryan then launched Popov Leather and grew the business from a basement rental to earn seven figures annually while supporting 12 full-time employees. In this episode of Shopify Masters, you'll hear from Ryan Popoff of Popov Leather on how to take outstanding product photos and how he works with micro-influencers. For more information on Popov Leather and show notes: https://www.shopify.com/blog/popov-leather-influencer Tune in to learn The key components for product photos that lead to conversions The most important question to as in a post-purchase survey Which channel for micro-influencer marketing to focus on and why

In this episode we make a leather belt from scratch. This involves some basic leatherworking techniques, which we discuss on the show. Also, we talk about leather care, and we oil an antique saddle. I get to dig into some of my own family history surrounding the saddle, which was fascinating, at least to me.

In this week's podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jen Laursen, a teaching artist and leatherworker based in the Bay Area of California. Jen makes leather accessories by hand, inspired by leatherwork from Mexico and fashion and artwork from the American art deco and 1970's periods. She taught herself (and is still learning!) via old manuals, YouTube videos, and her own trial and error process.   She teaches private lessons and group workshops at Workshop SF in San Francisco and at Handcraft Studio School in El Cerrito as well as in her home studio.  I first encountered Jen's work at a local store in our town. I went on to follow her Instagram account and fell in love with her work and her spirit! Enjoy the interview.

The Richmond Craneway was once used to manufacture Ford trucks, and during World War 2 was a hub for ship building. Today though, it plays host to the Richmond Craneway Craft Fair. For 47 years, the Craneway Crafts Fair has provided local and amateur Bay Area artists a place to showcase their talents and works of art for all to enjoy. This is KPFA's largest fundraiser event of the year and after moving the event from San Francisco to Richmond, CA, they immediately doubled attendance. None of this would be possible without our guest, Jan Etre, who for the past 29 years has made this crafts fair possible.
