Many of us don't make it to the sewing machine until 8 or 9 p.m., after a full day of work. By then, it's hard to think like a product developer (and even harder to stay creative). Marc Shatalow joins us to share how he balances a full-time job with a growing bag brand, along with the design process, production habits, and mindset that help him keep creating without burning out.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• How to balance a 9-to-5 with a bag company—and why small, consistent progress beats marathon sewing sessions
• Marc's workflow for designing new bags, from paper models and 3D CAD to finished prototypes
• Production habits, lean manufacturing ideas, and shop tweaks that save time without sacrificing creativity
• Honest conversations about pricing handmade work, building products people value, and why following your curiosity often leads to your best designs

Listen in and discover why building a successful maker business isn't about finding more hours, it's about optimizing the time you do have.
