Show Notes

In this episode of the Sparky Life podcast, host Lia Lamela speaks with Becky Sagen, a former entertainment industry professional turned custom furniture builder and coach.

They discuss their shared experiences in career exploration, with Becky detailing her journey from theatre to teaching, to starting her own custom furniture business. Becky shares her unique approach to coaching clients on DIY projects, including a story about designing a cassette tape table. The conversation also covers the importance of physical fitness in manual labor, the value of having multiple careers, and the role of community in achieving success.

If you're intrigued by these topics, I invite you to listen to the full episode. You can also reach out to Becky on Instagram at @sagenworks or visit her website, Sagen Works, to see examples of her work.
