In this show:

- An interview with Paul Overton, author of the Dudecraft blog. This conversation was inspired by this post.

- Some thoughts on the difference between crafting for money and crafting for passion.

- How does handmade work change when it’s made solely for profit?

- What happens when independent craft businesses start flooding the online community with marketing messages?

- What does it mean when a handmade item has “mojo?”

- Dudecraft is well worth reading - be sure and check it out!

- Paul recommended Hammermarks as an example of a blog that offers both value and commerce.

- We also talked a bit about Gary Vaynerchuk, who absolutely nails the idea of offering value to your audience. I recommend this short interview as a quick way to get familiar with his philosophies.

- Paul is also a big fan of Meet Me At Mikes.

- Another blog Paul mentioned: Aprons and Hammers. (Man! Those really ARE amazing shoes!)

- …And we also went a little fangirl (and boy) on Jeff Rudell .
