Listen to the Christmas episode of my new fortnightly Instagram Live podcast series! Christmas is all about family, so I chatted with my husband Chris, Technomage and hobby woodworker, about business, supporting someone in business, making, and Christmas over some favourite beverages. We both asked each other questions, so you get to know me a little in this episode, too.

Chris has made some beautiful things in his woodworking adventures, which started some three decades ago. He carves, builds, turns, and more. In his day job, he works with computers.

Highlights of this episode include:

• 1:21 - Introducing Chris
• 4:13 - Introducing me (Sara-Jayne) and my business
• 6:32 - The most rewarding and hardest parts of my business
