            About Patina'd Podcast

            From the publisher's feed

            The Patina'd Podcast is about the earned wisdom found in pain. It's about chasing failure, catching it, and using that as opportunity. It's about scar-tissue and sinew. It's about stretch marks and dented fenders, and refusing to hide them. It's about pushing our insecurities and shame to the forefront, not behind us. Instead of seeing rust as something that compromises a structures integrity, we chose to see it as the grit that builds character.
