#018 - Nuanced AF

Robin and John are back at the mic for their first and hopefully not only episode of 2025. Robin discusses her recent discovery that the knots she ties in macrame and crochet are WAY too tight, almost like she's tying to strangle the ropes she's working with. She wonders if she might need to loosen up, in art and in life. John suggests that it might be part of her mastery journey, learning to tie these knots and practice her craft with nuance. John then discusses the bone-on-bone arthritis he discovered in his right knee a year ago, how he has been rehabbing it, and how it affects his hunting and training. Robin suggests that, because of his arthritis, he now is compelled to approach the hunt with a fair amount of nuance. John likes how that really tied the podcast together.
