Episode 65: Amish Moped
Sun Jun 08 2025
Hotline Bling
In this episode of Self Made Pod, we start off with a classic tech check that quickly derails into a conversation about Amish eggs—yes, really. We get into why they taste so much better, how the Amish manage to bend the “no electricity” rule just enough to use power tools, and somehow end up talking about Vanilla Ice hanging out with Amish folks. Naturally.
From there, we wander through home improvement projects, weird weather patterns, and a guy who sold everything to sail to Hawaii with his cat. That leads to talk about the power (and chaos) of social media, content creation struggles, and what van life really looks like behind the pretty photos.
We also touch on growing a woodworking business, shifting from custom work to commercial gigs, and how we’re trying to keep some sort of balance while navigating it all. Toss in some stories about boating mishaps, Long Island eats, cooking vs. convenience, and why we’re moving to a bi-weekly podcast schedule—and you’ve got one weird, entertaining, and oddly insightful episode.
It’s all over the place in the best way.
