Episode 34 - Step Outside Your Comfort Zone

On this episode, the guys re-record the episode, and they are joined by Jason ‘Handsome’ Hanscom from the Scale Model Car Podcast and Blue Ox Model Shop infamy; and they answer the first listener mail.  A listener has the dilemma of being pressured into competing at shows with the insult of “do you even model, bro?”  We all take turns sharing our thoughts, and Justin, coming off of some big life shit, decides to be the Dalai Lama…

We also discuss our comfort zones, and why we should all get out of the comfort zone every once in a while.  Whether completely out of the zone with a different subject matter, or getting out the zone with a new technique (or even just painting…)
