Burnout, Balance, and Going Back to a Day Job

High Carbon

This week Chris from Forge Works joins the show to talk honestly about stepping back from full time knifemaking into a normal day job, and why it was the right call. After years of grinding solo, chasing social media growth, and dealing with unexpected hits like a copyright claim over a seven second sound clip, Chris hit a breaking point. Taking on outside work gave him steady income, covered health insurance, and freed up mental space he didn't know he was missing, all while still running his workshop on the side. It's a candid conversation about burnout, financial pressure, and why slowing down sometimes saves the business you're trying to protect.
