Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hi and welcome to Café WOW.
I'm John Dodds, your host, barista and bartender.
My goal is to unearth the uniqueness of my guests and the crafts they practice.
Think of this as an intimate conversation where words of wisdom flow, especially after a baby or two.
What crafts you are, are we talking pottery here?

(00:21):
Maybe, but more likely from marketing to music, strategy to sales and maybe even podcasting to poetry.
Our guests will share some of their innermost secrets of their profession as well as a few of their own.
My promise to you, call it a brand promise, is to leave you with a deeper understanding of the crafts we feature
and true words of wisdom from the people who have helped shape their profession.
