Last summer, something monumental happened. One of Uncuffed's founding producers, Greg Eskridge, came home after more than 30 years in prison. In this episode we’ll bring you back to that emotional day last summer when he walked out of the San Quentin gates, free at last. Our work in prisons is supported by the California Arts Council, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, independent foundations, and donations from listeners like you.

EPISODE 63 - Billie Kay Asmus - Repaint Studios - PAINTING A GREENER FUTURE WITH THE REPAINT TRAY Meet Billie In early 2021, I started a small business refinishing and refurbishing furniture in my tiny basement studio. I quickly noticed the constant waste I was going through with plastic paint tray liners and wasn't able to reuse them. Naturally, I went to Amazon and Google to find a reusable option and couldn't find one. So then what? Needless to say, I jumped on the opportunity, filed a patent for a reusable silicone paint tray liner with a lid and the Repaint Tray was born. That's when the journey began. Trust me. I get it. I 100% understand the frustration (and joy) of painting. Realistic Expectations Saving you time & creating efficiency. Being an ADHD DIYer entrepreneur mom, time and attention spans are limited. Started a painting project but your kid just woke up from their nap? YEP. I've been there. Need to run off somewhere but don't have time to finish your project? This was me. All the time. Sick of throwing out painting supplies and wasting money and time running back to the store? I 1000% get it! I created the Repaint Tray just for you. DURABLE The Repaint Tray is made of high-quality silicone, making it more durable than disposable thin plastic liners. In fact, one tray could last you a lifetime. SUSTAINABLE Roughly 240 million plastic paint tray liners get tossed into landfills every year. It's time to make a change in a wasteful industry. Not only is the Repaint Tray recyclable, but we strive to translate our eco-conscious efforts throughout the entire company. REUSABLE The best parts of the Repaint Tray are its reusability and convenience. When you're finished, peel away the paint and rinse the rest. Need to step away from your project? Snap on the air-tight lid, keeping your paint fresh and safe away from pets and kids for when you're ready to tackle that project again. https://repaintstudios.com/ ___ https://upcyclecanada.ca/ Check out a great new podcast created just for Dad!

Support Sustainable Transportation: Encourage walking, biking, or using public transportation when feasible. Explain the environmental benefits of reducing car usage and air pollution. Appreciate Nature: Spend time in nature with kids, engage in gardening activities, and teach them about growing food and the importance of biodiversity.

E60 - Stephanie Hongo - Creator of Sugarfox - Upcycling Plastics and Trash into Stunning One of a Kind Creations MY NAME IS STEPHANIE HONGO AND I AM AN AMERICAN ARTIST LIVING IN CONNECTICUT. I HAVE BEEN CREATING ART FOR THE MAJORITY OF MY LIFE, BUT IT WASN’T UNTIL I BEGAN MAKING MY TRASH PIECES THAT I REALLY FELT INSPIRED TO CREATE ART FOR ART’S SAKE. I COME FROM A FAMILY OF CREATORS OF ALL KINDS, FROM CARPENTRY TO TYPOGRAPHY WE ALL HAVE AN ABILITY TO “MAKE THINGS.” THIS BROAD RANGE OF ABILITY AND INFLUENCE WAS A BIG FACTOR IN DEVELOPING MY OWN BRAND OF CREATIVITY. WHEN I FIRST BEGAN MAKING THESE PIECES I ATTEMPTED A WIDE RANGE OF SUBJECTS: ANIMALS, FLOWERS, INANIMATE OBJECTS, EVEN SPORTS LOGOS. AS TIME HAS GONE ON HOWEVER, I’VE NARROWED MY INTEREST TO MAKING JUST ANIMALS. THIS MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE, BUT FOR NOW IT IS WHAT INSPIRES ME MOST. OCTOPUSES AND ANIMAL BUSTS ARE AMONG MY FAVORITE THINGS TO CREATE, AND OCTOPUS PIECES ARE BY FAR THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER. I DO ALL THE WORK ON MY PIECES OUT OF MY HOME. THE STUDIO I HAVE CREATED FOR MYSELF IS ALWAYS FULLY STOCKED WITH A MOUNTAIN OF TRASH AND RECYCLABLES DONATED BY FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND INDIVIDUALS IN MY COMMUNITY. THERE IS FAR TOO MUCH WASTE GENERATED IN THE WORLD. I WANT TO DO MY SMALL PART IN HELPING ELIMINATE SOME OF THAT, WHILE IN TURN MAKING BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE WORKS OF ART. https://www.instagram.com/Sugarfox_art/ https://sugarfox.net/ ___ https://upcyclecanada.ca/ Check out a great new podcast created just for Dad!

We officially closed our retail location as of Dec 24th 2022 when our landlord presented us a 5 year lease option on our store which we could not commit to as well as the obvious rent/lease increase - with sales slowing down we knew it was time to close our dream store location. We have found a new home at the https://niagarafleamarket.ca/ We have a nice size booth - a fraction of our storefront space but at a cheaper rate with less overhead. The market is open every Sunday - so if you are in the area on a Sunday drop by and see our new home.

EPISODE 52 - Our Dad Space Podcast - How To Get Out of Your Own Way and Find Contentment in Your Dad Journey As we close off 2022, we are busy closing down our storefront, still working full-time, completing custom orders and saying goodbye to our walk-in retail customers, we wanted to share some of our other podcasts that we do with our UpCycle Canada Family! I Created Dad Space - a podcast for Dads by Dads to encourage men at any stage along their journey to be a better Dad! I would love if you checked out our podcast and subscribe and share it with those you love! This is a sample episode to give you a taste of the show! We will be back together with Jen to talk about all the updates for UpCycle Canada - looking forward to that as well! So here is a summary of the notes from this episode on Dad Space DAD SPACE EPISODE 27 - How To Get Out of Your Own Way and Find Contentment in Your Dad Journey As a Dad we tend to operate in a provider mode - putting others first, making sure everyone around us is good - but what about us, what if we are not... good. What happens when we "get in the way" of others, we push others hard, maybe too hard. How do we become more mindful of others in our day to day and become aware of moments when putting someone ahead of us and stepping aside can change the course of someone's day - or even their life?! I had one of those days yesterday, I didn't have time to jump into a room I frequent every week, a room on Clubhouse - the social audio app where you can connect with others and speak on hosted "stages" in topics that interest you as a participant. I was busy, I had lots going on that day - no time for Clubhouse - but there was this voice - "You need to be there, you will miss this opportunity, go there now" - but I don't have time, "Go there now" - but the room is almost over, it's too late to jump in on the conversation... "Go there now!" So I did. I joined the room as it was closing, unaware of the topic of the day, I missed all the great speakers, I was as lost as a grade nine student on the first day of classes! With no thought of the result, no consideration really as to if my words mattered in that moment or if they were going to be received, I shared my praise for her instead of me and my thing - I got out of the way. The results were fantastic. I have been mulling this over and sharing this thought with others as we cross paths, they tend to write this down as I shared it with them - so here is my thought for this week, and for you - "If you can't find contentment in the journey, it won't be there to greet you when you arrive" We get in the way by putting ourselves first, even if we are trying to make others around us better - we put great stock in the result, that is where and when we will be content - when I reach this goal, cross that line, hit that target - THEN, and only then will I be content.
