196 Make it Your Own with Artist + Designer + Master DIY-er Robert Mahar

From taking risks, jumping in to new ventures, pivoting + reinventing, meet Robert Mahar, one of the true Online Pioneers. Robert is an Artist + Designer + Master Teacher of Imaginative DIY projects, and "Making It" season one Alumni. And he's also obsessed (Robert's words) with all things Vintage books + crafts. One of the most talented, wonderful, warm, kind-hearted creatives + teachers, I tell you now~ that immediately following this episode you're going to want to head straight over to Robert's Crafted with Robert Mahar YouTube channel and start making. If you can imagine it, in any discipline Robert can teach you how to create it. A midwesterner at heart, Robert has called Los Angeles home for over 25 years. When he's not virtually hanging out with Nick Offerman and Amy Poehler on the virtual "Making it At Home" Challenge (in a wig made of toilet paper rolls) you'll find Robert traveling to studios offering in person embroidery and weaving workshops as soon as we can all be together again.

Om Podcasten

Marisa Anne Cummings, a Los Angeles based artist + author + entrepreneur, actually started the Creative Thursday podcast in 2006. What? what! how is that even possible? And yes! she wishes she had kept it going after all these years. Yet as a small business owner, maybe you can relate? choices needed to be made, and a passion for painting and continuing to build her art business became her focus. Cut to over a decade later, armed with SO many more lessons learned, and a - can no longer be suppressed - desire to share them with you! Marisa is ready to make a return to one of the first creative mediums she loved, podcasting! Even more fired up than before, Marisa is looking forward to picking up where she left off on her creative journey through both - one her favorite things to do - having thoughtful, inspiring, keeping it real, conversations with fellow Creatives + Business Owners along with offering her own perspective as an artist and entrepreneur, traversing this online world. We’re talking everything from life + business + creativity + entrepreneurship.
