This week we are joined by none other than Liam Dempsey! In this thought provoking episode, you’ll learn how social media is negatively impacting your hobby, why you might not actually need to even paint your models, and how you can spend your precious and limited time on the things that you enjoy most! 

You’ll also gain an insight into the struggles of balancing hobby and work as professionals, our own struggles with motivation over the years, and much more!

Also, stick around for our question of the week, about which franchises we want to see miniatures and games for (with some absolutely unhinged and unexpected answers). 

Lastly, we have a special parting Hobby Hack from Liam himself, sharing his special technique for unclogging glue needle applicators!
