The problem
Watch a master machinist's hands move across their workpiece. There's a rhythm to it — a conversation between metal and maker that feels almost impossible to capture in words. Almost.
For fifteen years, I've watched brilliant craftspeople try to turn their expertise into documents, training manuals, content. It's like measuring temperature with a tape measure — the wrong tool for the job.
Your knowledge isn't meant for bullet points. It's meant to flow, the way shop floor conversations flow when you're problem-solving, passing on skills, explaining the why behind the how.
"Expertise moves like electricity — it follows the path of least resistance."
When you're talking shop, your insights run effortlessly. My job is to capture that current and direct it where it needs to go. I can hear when a story rings true. Together, we turn those on-floor conversations into something that reads as clean and precise as a freshly faced piece of stock.

From the shop floor
"Seeing my process come together in those notes — it was like finding the blueprint I never knew I was working from."
Rauni Higson · Silversmith
"They caught the thread of what makes our work different. Now we're not just showing what we do — we're showing why it matters."

The interviewer
Braeden
Interviewer · 15 years in the chair
Interviewing is my instrument. I bring fifteen years of professional interviewing experience into the studio at Landline Radio — and I want to talk to you. I host, edit, transcribe, and distill recorded conversations into show notes so you walk away with your own words, arranged in a way that finally makes sense.
P.S. A millwright can hear a bearing going bad weeks before it fails. I have the same ear for stories trapped in expertise. If something's humming in the back of your mind, let's listen to it together.
Come into the studio.
Putting words to your work is the dreadful part of representing yourself. Let's start with a 15-minute discovery chat and take that apart together, on the record.
