Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by long time friend and all round legend of FW Thomas (@watchsymmetry) to speak with the wonderful Erika from Erika's Originals (@erikasoriginals). We discuss many things, about Erika's journey into watch straps after falling into it thanks to her husband to how one of Erika's straps was sent into the stratosphere. You will not believe the story about how she found the machine needed to make her own webbing. Thomas is a big fan of Erika's straps and you'll learn just how many of these straps he has. Huge thanks to Erika for giving up her time and for the wonderful things she is doing to give back to people in need. The world needs more Erika's.  Grab a whiskey if that's your thing, put on a tuxedo, sit in your most comfortable chair and journey with us to an inspirational conversation that really goes to show you can do anything if you set your mind to it!
