Ep #86: From IndyCars to Briar Pipes with Nate King
What do race cars, airplanes, church plays, and smoking pipes have in common? Well, not a damn thing. Unless you're Nate King.
This week, Jordan is joined by master pipe maker Nate King, a man who went from wrenching on IndyCars and private jets to making some of the finest smoking pipes on the planet. Turns out getting fired might've been the best career move he ever made.
We get into the strange little world of artisan pipe making, the history behind it, why a chunk of wood can cost more than your car payment, and how the hell you make a living doing something most people don't even know exists…
Plus, Nate makes a pretty convincing case that everybody ought to visit a pipe show at least once.
