Where Are All My Friends | Discovering Creative Careers with Inspiring Entrepreneurs

Mikey Ojeda is the founder of Bleach Design Werks but much more importantly is one of my closest friends and a constant inspiration. This episode is beyond special to me because we captured such a magical moment of inspiration in a time of our lives with so much growth and excitement. The lessons we share are timeless and hopefully inspire many others who listen. If they do, share this with another friend who could use the motivation as well.

Deniz Keskin is responsible for Brand Management and Partnerships at Porsche AG. This was a very special episode for me as Deniz has become a close friend and huge inspiration. Even if you aren't deep into the car world, there is so much more to learn from this man! The fundamentals he shares on how to treat people and grow in your life and career are remarkable. Truly an honor to have him on this podcast. I hope you take something great away from this one. If you do, share it with a friend and let us know what you liked!

This is a unique episode where Max Vandenberg and I share the behind-the-scenes story of bringing Race Service and Ornamental Conifer all the way across the world to Germany for the Porsche Brand Store.

We had the chance to sit down in person while we were there and talk about exactly how this insane project came to be, and how we pulled it off against all odds! Moments like this don't normally get the chance to have their story told after all the dust settles, so I thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite moments and stories about how it all came together.

3:21 - The Idea

6:20 - The Technical Obstacles

8:16 - Artist and Clients needs

This very well might be my favorite episode I've ever done! This week we sit down with the legendary Seth Godin!!! I can't believe I'm writing that!

This was such an incredible podcast on so many levels. To be able to sit and learn from someone who has accomplished so much in his career was truly inspiring and insightful. If you want to be better at what you do, no matter what industry you're in, this is a must listen!

Seth's shares so much including stories of his early days of getting his start, early failures that then led to huge successes, being super ahead on the internet, starting a record label and we talk in depth about his brand new book The Song of Significance.

In this episode I sit down with my new friend Luke Huxham! He's a rad director and filmmaker with an incredible life story. We talk about a crazy decision to drop out of college and embark on a life in Japan, and how that led to his entire career unfolding from that decision.

One of my favorite parts of this episode was the back half of our conversation starting with his relentless pursuit of his passion for film, then leading to the importance of getting super clear on what you want and letting that passion consume you. He's had some insane experiences in commercial directing all the way up to the process of making a film, which made this such a fun episode as Luke has a ton of real life practical advice to share on the subject.

If you're into filmmaking, storytelling, and personal growth this one is for you. Hope you enjoy.
