Summary
In this episode, Nate and Di confess to the “Pro-Grade Trap.” Why do Type A people buy the $600 version of something before they’ve even finished the tutorial? The Highlights: The $600 Racing Wheel: Nate’s “closet of shame” and why he won’t let guests see his pro-shifter. The Yarn Basket of Broken Dreams: Di’s unfinished “knitting in the round” projects and the Etsy shop that almost was. The Sourdough Sentient Roommate: Why Nate let his starter die (and why he’s actually okay with it). The Tire Changer Math: How Nate changed 14 sets of tires for friends just to “pay off” a $700 machine. The Challenge: The Hobby ROI Audit. List three professional skills you accidentally learned from a hobby that is currently collecting dust.
