018 - "Ice Picks, Toys, and Shows" with Jimmy Diresta

Listen to the audio version of this episode with Jimmy here.

Jimmy Diresta joins the Maker Lounge Podcast! 

From toy making to dumpster diving in shows like Trash to Cash or Dirty Money, today’s guest knows how to get his hands dirty. He’s an author, inventor, and flea market fanatic. He dabbles in just about every medium there is in the maker community, from leather and metal to wood, glass, and everything in between. He was born holding a DiResta ice pick and the world’s first GoPro in his hand. Nick Offerman called him the love-child of Robin Hood, DaVinci, and John Henry, and yet, he agreed to be on my podcast.
