On the 6th episode of The Second Act Podcast we sit down for a discussion with Vancouver Island woodworker Sam Acford to chat about how his gifts for working with his hands led him to eventually running a successful shop. He talks about working for TED Talks, his run in with Edward Snowden and how he traded some spoons for a tattoo!

Sam has a unique story about how he knew he wasn’t long for the standard time-for-pay model and how he ensured he was going to stick with it.  Sam definitely has an idea about what he needs to keep happy and he is always exploring opportunities to maintain it.
