First featured in Edition One, Alex has spent over three decades honing his craft and building his business.We talk about how he got started, how the craft has evolved, and why he’s shifting away from social media to embrace more traditional, meaningful forms of communication - like newsletters and word-of-mouth. From navigating the changing landscape of business to staying true to the rhythms of hand-forged work, this is a rich, honest conversation about craft in a fast-moving world.Recorded in his forge, this episode is both a catch-up and a deeper dive into what it means to be a maker today - resilient, adaptive, and always learning._______________________We Are MakersInsta: @weare_makersWebsite & WAM Grant Info: https://www.wearemakers.shop/https://www.wearemakers.shop/Alex Pole Insta: @alexpoleironworkWebsite :https://www.alexpoleironwork.comRecorded on: NomonoInsta: @nomonosoundWebsite: https://nomono.co/https://nomono.co/If you'd like to buy us a coffee on the road - the link is belowhttps://ko-fi.com/wearemakersThank you!Kate & Jack
