Alain talks with friend to the pod, Linda Hoj! Linda is one of his favorite independent designers/jewelers of all time, a dear friend, and an endless source of admiration. We talk about creativity in the time of A.I., the pressure to produce, and mastering your craft for the sake of... mastering your craft. This is actually about jewelry, believe it or not!
