The Long View

In this episode of The Long View, Jeff Krug, Jon Peters, and Walter Peters talk through what each of them is currently focused on — the work on the bench, the decisions behind it, and how priorities shift depending on where you are in the process.Rather than a single topic, this conversation reflects where things stand right now: what’s getting attention, what’s being pushed aside, and how each of them is thinking about the work in front of them.This episode also came with a technical issue, and the final portion of the conversation was lost. Rather than recreate it, we chose to leave it as it happened.

Staying busy can feel like progress — but it doesn’t always build something you can live with long term.In this full episode of The Long View, Jeff Krug, Jon Peters, and Walter Peters go deeper into what sustainability actually looks like in craft and small business. They talk honestly about burnout, identity, financial pressure, and the emotional side of building work that has to support both a livelihood and a life.The conversation explores how experience changes your definition of success, why “more work” isn’t always the answer, and how each generation approaches stability differently.This isn’t a conversation about productivity.It’s a conversation about longevity.
