Season 3 is here! The guys are back together after a busy summer—Jackson shares about his internship, Richard talks about growing his company, and Brent catches us up on hiring new employees. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper reunion without some fun—Richard and Jackson kick things off with a practical joke on Brent. It’s good to have the trio back for another season of Passion for Craft.
The guys are back...all the guys. It's going to be a great year with some exciting conversations not only across the country, but the globe. As always, thank you for your passion for craft.

Brent's long career began at North Bennet Street School and he considers the things he learned there the bedrock upon which he built the rest of his mastery... So what was learned during his time there and what did he have to dive deeper on and learn after?

Brent and Jackson are late to the trend, but they go over what is or should be in and out of building for 2025. We'd love to hear from you: What are your "ins and outs?"
Jackson talks about team building using a tool from giantworldwide.com. This company is so helpful and it has changed how I (Jackson) have led my teams, I would encourage anyone who this even remotely interested to check them out.
