Jem and Justin chat about shop improvements, from Justin's new dust boot designs to Jem's successful tumbling solution using local beeswax polish. They discuss business challenges like Justin's Shopify glitch that blocked dust boot sales and Jem's Profit First distribution adjustments. Tech talk includes Claude 3.7's capabilities, AI-powered research, and Jem replacing a $350 review app with custom code. The episode wraps with Justin's bathroom heater installation and Jem's table tennis upgrades.
