From Tech to Terrariums with Jen Gouldstone of Craft Loft

Tom sits down with Jen Gouldstone, founder of Craft Loft — a multi-craft studio offering hands-on arts and crafts experiences through live hosted workshops, walk-in DIY projects, and private events. Unlike most craft studios that focus on one type of project, Craft Loft is a multi-craft concept where guests can make everything from succulent terrariums and mosaic coasters to moss art and fairy gardens. Jen's story is one of the most interesting we have had on the show. She moved from China to the Boston area at 13 without speaking English, went on to graduate from MIT, led efforts at Google, TripAdvisor, and several VC-backed startups, and survived the dot com bubble before eventually walking away from tech entirely. Tom even got hands-on and built a terrarium with Jen live on the podcast.
