Woodworking is BULLSHIT! · Episode 67 - Is ART for ARTIST, or is ART for the AUDIENCE? · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

When we're young...

we are largely in an exploratory phase.

We are upstarts, we wanna disrupt things, we wanna change the world, right?

Every commencement speech at high school, my daughter describes it, every commencement speech is like, now you're gonna go out and change the world with your fresh ideas, right?

It's like all engineered to be the explorer, the disruptor.

Find who you are and change the world, right?

And then, this is a hypothesis.

I'm not saying this is the case, but this is a hypothesis.

You're the explorer for a while and you're hungry as fuck, right?

Eric, think about how hungry you are when you first started making furniture.

Sure, I'm still hungry.

Yeah, I'm going to test.

I'm going to push the boundaries.

I'm going to fuck people up with my designs, right?

And then as you get older and time moves on and you've kind of scratched that itch,

You enter a different phase of perhaps being more the collaborator.

Life's about joy and bringing joy to others and uniting people.

And we know the data from the Harvard study of adult development.

It's about deep relationships.

It's not about just being alone all the time and pursuing your exploratory ideas.
