Tyler Lau of Function House joins Cami Kaos and Rick Turoczy on Mildly Interesting People to talk through his designs, inspiration, and his experience with being incarcerated. Function House fills a gap in the cannabis market for stylish and functional smoking accessories. Amongst the psychedelic colors, leaf prints, and cheap materials, we combine minimalist sophistication with innovative features and engineering to make truly great tools. Tyler, an industrial designer by trade, founded Function House in 2020, a few years after serving a prison sentence for cannabis in the state of Kansas. Experiencing criminal injustice as a visible minority fueled his desire to destigmatize this substance and the communities who partake.

"I want to cast spells." That's the joy in Malia Spencer's approach to developing Dungeons and Dragons characters. And she's learned to use a similar approach to other facets of her life by focusing on finding joy — and a growing desire to let others have their own version of joy. Whether they find it in DnD or Ren Faire or motorized one-wheel vehicles or somewhere else. Maybe it's just a Portland way of approaching life.

We always like to think of 13 as a lucky number. But episode 13 of our podcast begged to differ, plaguing us with technical difficulties.

Luckily those technical difficulties happened with one of the most understanding folks in the Mildly Interesting People universe, Mahesh Raj Mohan. Even without his video, we still managed to cover a variety of topics like his passion for writing, the Roku hacks that established his YouTube presence, and the documenting of a DIY shed that enables anyone anywhere to build their own backyard shed with the help of YouTube videos.

From Falling Up to Gloomcatcher to startups, this week Mildly Interesting People talk with literal rock star — among other things — Nick Lambert, a long-time professional musician who now sees music as a creative hobby. And also dabbles in startups from time to time.

Fun fact: He may have been separated at birth from Pedro Pascal. Or he may just dress like Pedro Pascal.

Jeremy "@penguin" Tanner is the Mildly Interesting People podcast guest, this week. Rick Turoczy almost met Jeremy at Startup Weekend Portland, but Rick was sidelined by an illness. Luckily both Jeremy and Rick then wound up sitting next to one another at SXSW and the rest is history. Because it happened in the past. Duh. That's how history works.
