S5E4: Hard Times-The Steps I'm Actually Taking

Last episode, I talked about the financial philosophy: know your numbers, price for sustainability, diversify revenue, and eliminate debt. This episode is the follow-up nobody asked for, but I'm doing anyway: the actual steps I'm taking right now at Creek Road Pottery to build something more resilient. The garden. The wood kiln. The solar plans. The treadle wheel. What I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and what any maker can take from it for their own practice.
