EP 7 | Teach a Man to Fix with Peter Mui
Manage episode 342579382 series 3400067
Fixit Clinic founder Peter Mui talks about environment and social benefits of sharing knowledge on repair and working in community with others.
Thirteen years ago Peter Mui held the first ever “Fixit Clinic” – driven by his motivation to change our disposable culture and to empower people to fix the things they own. The Fixit Clinic model, built on the idea that if people have access to tools and guidance then they can fix their things, has spawned a global following which seeks to make repair more accessible to everyone. Paul and Jack chat with Peter about the economic privelege associated with repair, how school districts that purchased Chromebooks during the pandemic are likely in trouble, and envision a future where the things we own are produced in our local communities
