Taming Lightning x GEEX: Intro to Plasma
I hope you enjoyed the podcast. Thank you Ben for your time and conversation. it’s true, I frequent Ben in order work through things both related to and divergent from neon, his work with GEEX and non-profits enhance my perspectives and insight when working on my own mission. And have been the help I needed to level up my studio as well my podcast production through the Intro to Plasma Series. I found the subject of Systems Building to be as an important tool for artists and neon bender to be just as applicable beyond the focus of the this podcast. I do find it valuable to check out the episode on Story Points from the podcast Two Scrums up, which helps you to quantify an estimate of the effort and time required to complete a task or piece of work. So be sure to check out the show notes on Taming lightning dot net for podcast, books, and resources mentioned in this episode. As additional thank I want to thank my contemporaries in the podcast realm Max of Mondo Neon, which inspired the topics for this episode and Alleson Buchanon and Danielle James of Neon Nonsense. Let’s not forget Camron Clow and Holiday Easterbrook of internet acclaimed The Neon Trenches a Reality based Neon Lifestyle network, haha, the highs and lows and to and fros of daily efforts of neon bender;many insights and much entertainment. I'd like to thank Pittsburgh Glass Center for supporting me as a place of research and inspiration. Plasma Art Alliance where I have access to the well of knowledge and connects me to some amazing and supportive people, and both sponsors in this episode The Glass Art Society and Garrett Churchill from Fluxeon. Feel free to share, comment, and subscribe. As always Be Safe, Be Healthy, and Be Strong, and I’ll See you next time.
