After dropping out of high school, Sarah Chen pursued the vanishing art of traditional woodworking through a series of apprenticeships across Japan and Europe. Our hosts examine her unique blend of ancient craft learning with modern business acumen, as she built a luxury furniture brand while documenting her journey for millions of social media followers. The episode explores the stark contrast between her hands-on apprenticeship experience and her peers' traditional education, including the financial challenges, cultural barriers, and eventual triumph of her atelier becoming a training ground for a new generation of craftspeople.
