About The Show
Center Yourself is a podcast hosted by world-traveling ceramic artist and musician Nate Winter, where creativity meets vulnerability at the potter’s wheel. Each episode features esteemed guests: Grammy Award winning musicians, wildlife cinematographers, visionary artists, entrepreneurs, and more. They share the stories behind their journeys, the breakthroughs and breakdowns that shaped them, and the lessons found in both triumph and failure. As they learn to throw pottery for the first time, guests experience the humbling truth at the heart of ceramics: there are no shortcuts to creating something real. In order to center the clay, you must first center yourself. Through laughter, reflection, and a shared willingness to fail in real time, this show uncovers the human moments beneath greatness. Join us as we slow down, get our hands dirty, and discover what it really takes to find your center.
