Murray Carter (@CarterCutlery) is a Canadian craftsman like no
other. At eighteen, he fell into an apprenticeship with a
sixteenth generation Yoshimoto bladesmith that lasted six years
-- and was asked to take the position of number seventeen in the
Sakemoto family tradition (perhaps the only Caucasian ever to
have had the honor and privilege of this position). Murray
continued forging blades in Japan for twelve more years and in
June 2001, he was awarded the rating of Mastersmith by the
American Bladesmith Society, thus proving the highest degree of
competency by Western standards. In 2005, he moved to the United
States (as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability, no less) to start
Carter Cutlery; he has continued forging blades in Oregon since.
This is a fascinating episode on many levels, so please enjoy!
This podcast is brought to you by Headspace, the world’s most
popular meditation app (with more than four million users). It’s
used in more than 150 countries, and many of my closest friends
swear by it. Try Headspace’s free Take10 program — 10
minutes of guided meditation a day for 10 days. It’s like a warm
bath for your mind. Meditation doesn’t need to be complicated or
expensive, and it’s had a huge impact on my life. Try Headspace
for free for a few days and see what I mean. This podcast is also
brought to you by Four Sigmatic. I reached out to these Finnish
entrepreneurs after a very talented acrobat introduced me to one
of their products, which blew my mind (in the best way possible).
It is mushroom coffee featuring chaga. It tastes like coffee, but
there are only 40 milligrams of caffeine, so it has less than
half of what you would find in a regular cup of coffee. I do not
get any jitters, acid reflux, or any type of stomach burn. It put
me on fire for an entire day, and I only had half of the packet.
People are always asking me what I use for cognitive enhancement
right now -- this is the answer. You can try it right now by
going to foursigmatic.com/tim and using the code Tim to get 20
percent off your first order. If you are in the experimental
mindset, I do not think you'll be disappointed.
