I wrote a song about the bench.
Forty three years of it. The cases nobody sees, the hours nobody bills, the decisions you make when there's nobody left in the building to ask. I put it to music, and then I built a video around it frame by frame, and... more
For twenty-two episodes I sat in this room by myself. Not this one.
Minh Tran worked at my bench. Then he didn't. Episode 13 was about what that felt like from my side, and I never used his name.

There was a bar on my bench at five in the morning that three people had already given up on. The note said: take it all out, start over.
Nobody asked if there was another way. Because for them, there wasn't. You can't offer a path you've never walk... more

United States3 months ago - John is an industry treasure
I’ve known John for a few years now, but listening to these episodes let you dive into the inner thoughts of something very special. It’s rare that creative types in this industry ever get to hear someone say what they think because most of us are introverts. This podcast is not only amazing but necessary and it’s going to give many people confidence to do what they’ve always wanted to do. stand up for the standard, trust your inner feelings, and know that it’s OK to care about what we do for a ... more

I’ve worked with John for decades and his digital lab skills are unparalleled. I recently had a case where I had to restore an implant from the 90’s that they no longer make parts for. It was part of a bridge. One of the options was to replace the implant. But John was able to fabricate an mua for it. From there we took it through a digital workflow and the patient was ecstatic with the outcome.
Apple Podcasts5jwddsincUnited States6 months ago - Just what I needed
With so much uncertainty, rapid shifts in technology, and constant conversations about work being taken over or absorbed by big corporate systems, it’s easy to feel a bit lost in this industry right now. Margins & Meaning is the kind of podcast that cuts through all of that. It feels grounded, warm, thoughtful, and genuinely inspiring, but most of all, it’s honest in a way that feels rare right now . Truly grateful this exists. Loving it so far
