Jessica Thesinge is the owner and maker at Mean Mugs Pottery in Salt Lake City, Utah! I had an amazing opportunity to stop by this summer on my midwest trip and not only record an episode with her, but watch as she created the last of our All American Maker coffee mugs which are exclusively available on www.patreon.com/brendanhalbohm to our Patreon supporters! 

Rob is a professional graphic designer and maker of Buffalo Made Co! An apparel company out of Buffalo, New York with incredible designs that give Buffalo natives a way to be proud of where they live! Rob is also the designer of the All American Maker logo as well as every single product for my new company launching soon called Made Quality Supply! 

Rob describes his company as follows:
"Buffalo Made Co. is a passion project. It’s an outlet to make products that I want and that wouldn’t be available otherwise. Buffalo Made Co. is about the people made in Buffalo showing that pride. The brand is inspired by Buffalo’s past, present, and future. When customers show their support and make a purchase, my intent is that they proudly say “I am Buffalo Made” not just “This was made in Buffalo”. ~Rob Hopkins

My first guest on All American Maker is Bert Kuntz who is the founder and one of the owners of Bison Union Company, Bison Union Coffee, and Land and Bison in Sheridan, Wyoming! 

I had the awesome opportunity to work with Bert and the Bison Union Team for a week in July this year, creating six videos to help promote their coffee shop, several products including the making of their hand thrown pottery coffee mugs, the candles I make for them, and the arrival of the bison to the new Land & Bison ranch!
