Hotline Bling

In this episode of Self Made Pod, we dive into everything from the egg shortage (because apparently, grocery shopping needed to be more complicated) to personal health updates and reflections on wellness. We also have some fun engaging with listener jokes and swapping thoughts on social media strategies, especially when it comes to Instagram and TikTok.

We take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about platforms like MySpace and Vine, while also discussing the ever-changing landscape of content creation. The conversation touches on the struggles of monetization, the importance of diversifying income, and finding a unique voice in a crowded digital space—all while staying true to yourself.

Of course, we also geek out on woodworking, chatting about our favorite tools, current projects, and the challenges that come with custom builds. We talk about designing a memorial cabinet, the growing demand for cabinetry work, and even an espresso cabinet project. Plus, one of us shares updates on building out a personal van, because apparently, we can’t resist taking on more projects.

It’s a mix of laughs, real talk, and creative inspiration—perfect for anyone juggling work, passion projects, and figuring out how to keep up with the ever-changing world of social media.

Hotline Bling

In this episode of Self Made Pod, we cover everything from the tragic (but kind of funny) end of Skelly the skeleton, who couldn’t survive a windstorm, to the excitement of future projects and adventures. We share laughs about Skelly’s fall, brainstorm ideas for his replacement, and catch up on Sam’s progress with her YouTube channel and van build.

The conversation flows into the ups and downs of content creation, the challenges of running a business, and how we keep things creative and fun despite the stress. We swap stories about everyday life—like the egg shortage—and throw in some jokes and light-hearted banter with our listeners.

Along the way, we dig into deeper topics like the balance between work and personal life, the importance of mental peace in creative work, and the realities of being an influencer in today’s world. We share our thoughts on navigating online criticism, staying authentic, and finding fulfillment in both passion projects and career goals.

It’s a mix of humor, real talk, and insights that will resonate with anyone juggling work, life, and creativity.

Hotline Bling

In this episode of Self Made Pod, we’re kicking off the new year with a laid-back chat about everything from egg shortages (seriously, bird flu?) to custom projects and our shared love for coffee. It’s a mix of light laughs, personal stories, and just the right amount of randomness to keep things fun.

We get into the joys of home coffee machines, why staying home can be awesome, and the thrill of hitting big milestones on social media. There’s also some talk about experimenting with new Instagram features and how we’re keeping things fresh with content. Oh, and we can’t forget the hilarious story about an AI-generated pasta dump truck—it’s as ridiculous as it sounds.

Somehow, we end up dreaming about winning the lottery, swapping pet stories, and brainstorming podcast ideas with our listeners. It’s all about finding humor, balancing work and life, and just enjoying the process as we go. If you’re into chill conversations with a side of chaos, this one’s for you!
