Join Kosta and his guest: Johnny Blayze, Executive Director and Co-Founder of UC Makerspace.
In this episode: The Upper Cumberland is changing. I’m sure people are tired of hearing us say it, but it’s true. Everyday we’re evolving into our next form and I see UC Makerspace playing a pivotal role in that evolution. For anyone just hearing about the concept of a makerspace for the first time, what should they know? At what point did you realize, Cookeville doesn’t have anything like this, but we need it - and I’m the person to make it happen? How is a makerspace different from a co-working space? Most of us are familiar with the Biz Foundry and the concept of a shared working environment, but UCM offers different opportunities. How would you compare these two?
