Afterburn: Maker Talk After Dark
Hosted by Erik & Ashlee Crowell · business · EN
About this Podcast:
Afterburn is the after-dark maker show for people building real businesses with lasers, UV printing, DTF, embroidery, and custom products. Every week, Erik Crowell and Ashlee Crowell go live and unfiltered once the shop lights go down. No script. No highlight reel. No fluff. Each episode gets into the stuff nobody else streams: shop talk, pricing, workflows, mistakes, tools, trends, and the messy middle of turning maker skills into real revenue. Plus a rotating guest and whatever the live chat throws at us. What works, what doesn't, and what's actually worth your money. Pull up a chair. Thursdays, 9PM ET.
