In this episode of Self Made Pod, we’re reflecting on our experiences at WorkbenchCon—a conference for creators, DIYers, and woodworking enthusiasts. We chat about how the event has evolved over the years, share some favorite moments, and discuss the friendships and connections we’ve built through these community gatherings.
We get real about the challenges and highlights of being content creators and small business owners, from managing stress and finding new creative directions to juggling the endless demands of work and personal life. The conversation naturally leads into discussions on managing affiliate marketing, strategies for maximizing our online presence, and the quirks of turning passion projects into profitable businesses.
Along the way, we share thoughts on other maker events like Maker Camp, how these gatherings foster meaningful relationships, and how community can help navigate the chaos of creative entrepreneurship.
