🛠️ If you think your job is stressful, try spending 40 hours crafting a single pair of shoes only to have it destroyed in two seconds if you get caught slippin' on the final step. 😫 Cordwainer Leanne Corcoran (Owner & Operator of Leolo Handmade Shoes & Leather Goods) said, "They didn't have machines 100 years ago like I have now, but I have a big machine in my studio called a Grinder, and that thing can destroy a shoe in two seconds. It is the very last step you do in making a shoe is to grind the soul. And so if you are not present with that process, the shoe will be ruined. The shoe that you just spent 40 hours making will be ruined." 🤯
