Amanda Busick talks with master metalworker and CRASH Jewelry founder Christi Schimpke about the power of mid-life career pivots, her a-ha moment looking at crashed exotic cars, and her love of the arts reflecting in the depth of automotive paint.

Christi speaks about founding CRASH and the trials of building a start-up company in a traditionally masculine hobby. Christi and Amanda explore the creative process of finding and working with metal, paint, power tools, and the creative rush, as Amanda celebrates her first CRASH.
