Podcast Interview on Independent Thinking.
I was recently asked by Roman to come onto his podcast show for an informal chat. He was joined by co-host for the episode Reuben Shoots who is an independent watchmaker. It was a great three-way chat about life as an independent clockmaker and restorer and may be of interest. Below is one of my most recent videos on YouTube, and below that the episode description for this podcast.
