## Summary

Jimmy Diresta, Bob Clagett, and David Picciuto discuss the labels applied to makers and content creators, with Jimmy rejecting the title 'Master Helper' from his TV contract and Bob preferring 'maker' over 'woodworker' or 'influencer'. They share personal goals for the new year, including Jimmy developing new products like the Ice Pick, Bob tackling larger projects, and David committing to monthly music creation. The hosts also recommend Joel Telling’s 3D printed wine rack, the 'Welding Tips and Tricks' podcast, and the Netflix documentary series 'The Toys That Made Us'.
