n the 45th episode of Perceived Value host Sarah Rachel Brown is in Richmond, VA and sits down with the co-director of Radical Jewelry Makeover, Kathleen Kennedy. Having already spoken with Susie Ganch who developed RJM and continues to co-direct, Sarah wanted to get insight as to who was helping Ganch continue this important project.

Moments after turning on the mics, the two women discover they have much in common and discuss their similar ages, experiences moving to Seattle, and their undying love of show choir. Of course they talked shop and Kathleen shared about her experiences adjuncting, why she went grad school, and how she went from being one of the first student participants of Radical Jewelry Makeover to a current co-director.

In the 30th episode of Perceived Value host Sarah Rachel Brown is in Greenville, North Carolina for the Eastern Carolina University Material Topics Symposium.  The annual symposium is a gathering of jewelers and metalsmiths ranging from hobbyists to professionals and Sarah has been invited as 2019 presenter.

This will be Sarah’s first experience presenting at this type of event and since being invited this past Spring, she has gained valuable insight as to what it means to be in this prestigious role.

 During the symposium she sat down with artist Michael Nashef who has been invited to present at the 2019 SNAG Conference in Chicago this May. This too will be his first experience as a conference or symposium presenter and so the two first-timers sat down to discuss what it’s like to prepare for this type of presentation, how much they’re getting paid or compensated, and what the value of this opportunity is beyond the paycheck.
