What if the sanctuary you’re looking for is one you build with your own two hands?

In this episode, I sit with Michael Dellios, artist, builder, and co-founder of Sip Saunas. From growing up on job sites with his father to becoming a lifelong entrepreneur, Michael shares how following his curiosity led him from advertising to furniture-making to creating spaces that restore health, connection, and presence.

We dive into sauna culture, rituals that quiet the mind, and why creating sacred spaces—whether it’s a chair, a mug, or a sauna—can transform the way we live.

This is a conversation about creativity, resilience, trusting your gut, and building not just structures, but experiences that last for generations.
