Do I need school to be...

Have you heard the expression "Never meet your heroes"? Well, I met one of my podcasting heroes and he surpassed my expectations! Dave is the founder of the Print Design Academy, teaching Graphic Designers how to print and how to fall in love with print. His story is a whirlwind of learning experiences, getting chances and taking advantage of them, following passions and showing th

This week, I had the pleasure of learning more about my wonderful colleague Ray Lawlor. Ray and I both work at The Customer Bureau (Helping iconic brands become customer centric) and a while back Ray approached me with an amazing story, his story. In his words, he didn't know what he wanted to do until he was 30. Ray believes that learning and figuring out what you want to do is a

Staying in line with the environmentalist topic, this week we have another warrior for the earth but who uses a physical medium and not a digital one. Rafael Martig, has a fascinating story of combining the logical and emotional to advocate for conservation of flora and fauna. From a young age, he loved nature and learned to observe and learn from it. Born into a family of creative

I'm not a fan of social media, sounds weird because I have a podcast but I'm really not a fan of the social media aspect of it. That's why I was so excited when Neerja and Aparna reached out to me because I love to be proven wrong and to learn what the other side looks like and does. In today's episode I'm taking to Neerja from 'Humans Of Earth', an online platform focused on shari

After break due to illness and medical stuff, the podcast is back and we have amazing interviews for you starting with Mr. Paul Delaney.

Paul likes to draw pictures, scribble ideas for stories, make stuff look nice on a page and brighten people's day. Th

And we made it to the C-suite! Yes, my guest this week is the Founder and CEO of Startdock, Thom Wernke. Funny enough in this episode we'll question the role of CEO and what it actually means, spoiler it's just a role. For those thinking, what is Startdock? Startdock is a coworking space where community is everything. Startdock and its Dockers believe it takes a community to grow a

On this week's episode I'm talking to the talented Carolina Cristallo, a fresh graduate from the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. Carolina and I actually graduate together from Graphic Design on July of 2022 (which feels like a decade ago) and on this episode we talk about out experience at the Academy, how formal education shaped us, being a working student working at the i

This week, on the second episode of season 2, we have Jérôme Bacquias who is the founder & managing Director at paper republic. Don't know this awesome brand? In short, it's a company making notebooks and fine leather goods based out of Vienna, Austria and my personal private addiction (hey, I could have worst addictions) At paper republic, they are committed to respect & aut

WELCOME TO SEASON 2 OF THE PODCAST! And we are starting with a great one. It's no secret that I'm skeptical about people who put 'Coach' as their job title. Honestly, I think most of them are snake-oil salesmen and saleswomen. Well, Coach Johnson is not one of them and he sets the bar for a life-changing coach. Coach is a 10 year veteran teacher/Athletic Director that looks to buil
