John Pomp's quest for self-reliance

<p>As a young man, <strong>John Pomp </strong>fell in love with glassblowing. What started as an obsession soon became a thriving business, one that eventually grew to include handmade lighting and furniture. A maker, through and through, at every step of the way Pomp has pushed to control and perfect everything his company does—whether that’s manufacturing its own nuts and bolts in-house, or building a skateboarding ramp for his kids onto the floor of his Philadelphia workshop.</p><p>On this episode of the podcast, Pomp speaks with host Dennis Scully about why makers need to own their own real estate, the delicate balance between scaling a business and staying creative, and why everything he does comes down to a quest for self reliance.</p><p>This podcast is sponsored by <a href="https://www.highpointmarket.org/">High Point Market</a> and <a href="www.modern-matter.com">Modern Matter</a></p><p><i><strong>LINKS</strong></i><br /><a href="https://www.johnpomp.com/"><strong>John Pomp</strong></a><br /><a href="www.instagram.com/dennisscully"><strong>Dennis Scully </strong></a><br /><a href="www.businessofhome.com"><strong>Business of Home</strong></a></p>
