STANDARD H Podcast

Today, I welcome back my good friend, Nick Lehner, the founder and one man band behind StrapHabit.
Though we chat at least once a week, between texts and phone calls, I felt we were due for a more public catch-up given things have drastically changed in Nick’s life.
Late last year, he left his full-time job to focus on his business, and as we continue to generate different collaborations together, I couldn’t be more excited for Nick. Why don’t we just get into it…

You can hear the second half (aka: Part 2) of the show on Pare Pare today! We discuss our respective trips recently - he to San Francisco, and my trip to Connecticut. We chat a fair amount about architecture, we briefly recap our 9:27 event, and we chat about Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wrights Phoenix-based Winter office which I toured in 2022 whereas Trevor just did a couple weeks ago!

Today welcomes back Elliot Aronow, a very early guest on this podcasts. Though long over due, and several years apart, I feel we pick up right where we left off.
Elliot is the writer behind Minor Genius, his multi-thematic Substack that perhaps could best be described as his personal tale on Culture (with a capital C).
We kick this conversation off with some music chat, and pepper the entire episode with snippets of fashion jargon, making Elz one of my favorite people to talk to. We almost the exact same age, and our conversations probably need far more runway than these episodes allow. I hope you enjoy it.

Logan Baker has had a fascinating trajectory to his career. In his early years, he was a writer for WatchTime, only later to become a brand editor for Hodinkee, and then moved onto Phillips, which welcomed not only a move into the auction world, but a physical relocation, as well.
Now based in Geneva full-time, Logan recently joined Ming as their Director of Marketing, an incredibly engaging position within a brand featuring a wonderful backstory and a very unique design language.
Logan and I first met at WindUp Watch Fair some three years ago, so I was excited to host him on the show in order to learn more about him. I hope you enjoy it.

Carlton DeWoody and I met through social media and later in person at Intersect a couple years ago. We hit it off immediately when I noticed the chronograph on his wrist and we’ve been friends ever since.
Carlton’s a fascinating guy - born into the New York art scene, the son of an artist father and collector mother, creativity is no question in his blood. You may know Carlton from his tennis inspired watch design collaboration known as the Raquet Rallymaster III, but his design sensibilities are most present in interior design.
We talk a lot about art, growing up in New York, his home base in Santa Barbara after the Palisades fires, and his business Reunion Goods & Services.
This is one of those conversations that could’ve easily been three hours long, and you will certainly be hearing from Carlton again on this show, so stay tuned…
