“The Inspiring Work of a World Renowned Glass Blower” With Aaron Rovner Buck

About EpisodeIn this episode, I sit down with world‑champion glassblower Aaron Rovner Buck, whose life in Corning’s “Crystal City” shaped him from birth. They swap the wild story of how they met on a Southwest flight, then Aaron opens up about growing up with two glassblowing parents — his mom, Rhodie, the heart‑led artist behind Hands on Glass, and his dad, Dave, the engineer‑minded creator who broke away from factory work to chase bold, organic design. Aaron talks honestly about mastering an unforgiving craft, surviving a tough market, and why he refuses to quit on the dream he’s had since childhood. He even shares how he accidentally won gold at Glass Vegas — walking onstage mid‑phone‑call and asking the photographer what place he got. The episode dives into legacy, leadership, and the future of a young industry, and wraps with Aaron showing off his signature ramen pendants and where listeners can support his work._________________________Check out Aaron on IG and follow along with their journey!@dojoglassCheck out Aaron’s mom’s shop, Hands on Glass!  Red Rising by Pierce Brown favorite book_________________________Follow UsTiktok Instagram SUBSCRIBE to our Youtube Channel!
