We've got loads to get stuck into this week, so thanks for joining us! Joe is in something of a golf purgatory. Should he resign his PGA membership to become a full-time vibesman on the golf course? And, should he start playing clubs he thinks look cool, rather than have any function? After that, we take a brief look at the Tour's take-up of zero torque putters. What has been the reaction from Tour players to this growing trend, and is the argument for zero torque putters starting to win more people over?  Ask The Pod wants to understand why iron shafts are getting longer and longer. Are manufacturers just trying to sneak a bit more clubhead speed and distance under our noses, or is there something physiological contributing to longer 'standard' length clubs? Finally, we're delighted to welcome recent DP World Tour winner and Staffordshire's finest, Richard Mansell, onto the show. We met up with Richard at the launch of the new Adidas Originals clothing line, and he offered some brilliant insights about his time as an equipment free agent and his current work as a full-time Titleist staffer.  Link to the Fujikura competition (opens June 2nd): https://www.fujikuragolf.com/battle-at-bethpage Chapters:  0:00:00 Intro, waffle and new bits on set 0:06:44 Joe's quandry - should he give up his PGA and be a full-time vibesman? 0:18:30 Is anyone on Tour using zero torque putters?

Adidas Originals and global music icon Bad Bunny have teamed up once again to introduce their latest collaboration: the Ballerina sneaker. This new footwear release represents a fusion of Bad Bunny's distinctive style with Adidas' rich heritage of craftsmanship and innovation. Known for his genre-blending music and eclectic fashion sense, Bad Bunny has continued to make waves not only in the music industry but also in the fashion world, and this collaboration further cements his influence.The Ballerina sneaker is a testament to both Bad Bunny's unique artistic vision and Adidas' commitment to pushing the boundaries of sneaker design. The shoe's aesthetic is inspired by the graceful yet powerful imagery associated with ballet, combining elegant lines with a robust structure. This balance reflects Bad Bunny's approach in both his music and fashion choices, where he frequently blends the unconventional with the traditional.Key features of the Ballerina sneaker include a sleek silhouette with flexible materials that allow for comfort and mobility, reminiscent of the movement inherent in dance. Adidas and Bad Bunny have chosen a color palette that includes soft pastels and bold contrasts, mirroring Bad Bunny's ability to mix unexpected yet harmonious elements. In addition, the shoe boasts unique branding elements, such as signature motifs and logos that highlight the collaborative nature of this project.This collaboration is not just about creating a new product; it is about telling a story through design. The Ballerina sneaker reflects themes of empowerment and expression, encouraging wearers to embrace their individuality. It signals a shift in the traditional view of sneakers as merely athletic wear, positioning them instead as cultural symbols reflective of personal and artistic expression.Bad Bunny's partnership with Adidas has been consistent, with previous successful launches that resonate strongly with fans and fashion enthusiasts alike. The Ballerina sneaker follows this trend, with anticipation already building among followers of both Bad Bunny and Adidas. The collaboration is more than a commercial venture; it represents a cultural dialogue between music, fashion, and individual identity.As Adidas Originals and Bad Bunny continue their creative partnership, the release of the Ballerina sneaker serves as another milestone in Bad Bunny's expanding influence beyond music and into broader cultural and style territories. This release is eagerly anticipated by an audience eager to see what new directions the collaboration will explore next.

These sneakers can be worn with anything from dresses to suits, making them a staple in any wardrobe.   Closing Fun Note: Fashion sneakers aren't just for the sporty types—everyone can rock a stylish pair, inspired by the Olympic athletes we adore.  Whether you're channeling your inner champion or just want to add a touch of sporty chic to your everyday look, the right pair of sneakers can elevate your style game.  So, listen, download, share, and follow us on social media to keep up with the latest fashion tips and trends.

Adidas has demonstrated steady market performance, an example being the 8% currency-neutral growth noted for Q1 2024. This growth was attributed in part to Adidas's portfolio diversity, with specific mention of the successful lifestyle footwear franchises Terrace, Campus, and the SL72 lines. Adidas's reach extends beyond footwear, with expansions into soccer, running, trail running, and basketball sectors, contributing to its market appeal.The company reported that collaborations with various artists and designers have bolstered Adidas's market position. Acerbating this are substantial investments in marketing, infrastructure, store development, and factories, further testifying the commitment to the brand's growth.During the earnings call, the company's understanding of consumer trends was noted as a driving force behind Adidas's growth strategy. They reported an increase in their Lifestyle segment, particularly in franchises like Terrace, Campus, SL72, and Superstar. Adidas Originals has seen an increase in popularity among female consumers—a demographic they stated they were capitalizing on—according to statements made during the earnings call. The brand's strategic partnerships and marketing efforts were cited as beneficial in promoting this trend. The company also stated its efforts in balancing local and global trends, proving an ability to adapt while maintaining its unique brand identity.Looking ahead, the company reportedly aims to maintain momentum via investments in marketing and sales. The goal, as stated in the earnings call, is to achieve mid- to high-single-digit growth in its top-line and to increment its EBIT guidance, indicating a measured but optimistic outlook. The idea of expanding the brand through new products and widening successful franchises in both performance and lifestyle categories was also confirmed as strategic.In conclusion, the company, based on its own report, demonstrates financial stability, a broad product portfolio, strategic marketing, and commitment to future investments. Given the conveyed details, the company seems prepared to navigate changing consumer trends, balance regional preferences with global consistency, and possibly maintain a competitive position in the market. It should, however, be noted that conclusions are drawn based on the company's earnings call and the actual outcome may vary as it is subject to market dynamics and unforeseen changes.

Für unsere Jubiläumsfolge haben wir für Euch einen hochkarätigen Oldschool-Diamanten ausgegraben. Bereits Mitte der 80er Jahre war King Katmando fester Bestandteil einer Pioniergeneration des deutschen Stylewritings. Neben Loomit, Don M. Zaza, Cemnoz, Mitch und anderen Ausnahmeartists prägte er die Münchener Graffiti Szene, die Katmando gerne auch als Wiege der europäischen Graffiti Kultur bezeichnet. Als „Jack of All Trades“ war Prince K. nicht nur im Writing aktiv, sondern auch in der Speerspitze der jungen Hip Hop Bewegung. Seine Reisen führten ihn in die europäischen Hotspots wie Paris, wo er die NTM Crew und DJ Dee Nasty kennenlernte und in das Vorwende-Berlin, wo er mit der ersten Generation der Berliner Writer wie KANE, KAOS oder AMOK noch jungfräuliche Mauern vorfand. Im Interview mit Crow beleuchtet Katmando nicht nur die Gründung des JUICE Magazins, warum er den Begriff Deutschrap erfunden hat, sondern auch warum er als Consultant die erste Kollektion von Adidas Originals mitgeprägt hat. Eine Folge voller Anektoden und unglaublicher Geschichten.

Over his 25 years as CEO of the Danish textile company Kvadrat, Anders Byriel has turned what was once a small, fairly dusty family design business into a global giant. Perhaps just as notably, he's taken a radical, and even artistic, approach to building and cultivating the brand's culture, partnering with designers such as Raf Simons, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, and Peter Saville; arts institutions like the New Museum in New York, the Tate Modern in London, and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark; and brands including Adidas Originals, Bang & Olufsen, and Jaguar Land Rover. On this week's episode of Time Sensitive, Byriel talks about why the best design has an artistic edge, the importance of making space for emotion within a corporate environment, and his deep and lifelong passions of poetry and photography.Special thanks to our Season 7 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Anders Byriel [01:04]Annie Ernaux [04:25]“Vermeer” at the Rijksmuseum [06:04]Kvadrat [06:56]Raf Simons [12:05]Peter Saville [13:24]David Adjaye [14:05]Thomas Demand [14:14]Louisiana Museum of Modern Art [14:17]Rosemarie Troeckel [14:20]Olafur Eliasson [14:27]Jean Nouvel [14:40]Massimiliano Gioni [18:06]Pipilotti Rist [18:39]Wu Tsang [19:07]“The Triple Folly” [19:33]Danh Vo [24:20]Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec [27:09]Giulio Ridolfo [30:41]“Materializing Color” [30:43]Adidas Originals x Kvadrat Stan Smith [39:03]Konstantin Grcic [43:06]Verner Panton [49:29]“Pop Art Design” exhibition at Vitra Design Museum [50:20]Robert Adams [01:03:08]Henrik Nordbrandt [01:03:52]Nan Goldin [01:10:39]Ocean Vuong [01:04:54]Ocean Vuong's “Time Is a Mother” book of poems [01:05:01]“Your Brain on Art” book [01:05:09]Hiroshi Sugimoto [01:11:37]“Ai Weiwei In the Elevator When Taken Into Custody by the Police” (2009) [01:12:00]Ansel Adams [01:12:44]Robert Adams's “Around the House” book [01:13:01]Robert Adams's "A Road Through Shore Pine" book [01:13:30]

Sebastiano Zanolli"Guerra o pace"Roi Edizionihttps://www.roiedizioni.it/La pandemia ha evidenziato la nostra tendenza a creare fazioni e a definirci in opposizione a un “nemico”. La tecnologia e i social favoriscono queste dinamiche, creando bolle in cui il dialogo e il confronto cedono il passo a una continua polarizzazione: bianco o nero, guerra o pace. Non solo nelle nostre vite, ma anche e soprattutto nelle nostre aziende: ambienti sempre più politici, dove le uniche alternative sembrano essere scontrarsi a tutto campo o fingere che tutto vada bene, lasciando che i problemi crescano nell'ombra.Questo libro analizza i motivi per cui litighiamo, quelli per cui non litighiamo e i motivi per cui, quando succede, litighiamo male. Riflessioni e strumenti utili e attuali per tornare a vedere sfumature che non cogliamo più e per creare ambienti in cui esprimere idee diverse non sia una colpa o un pericolo, ma una ricchezza.Sebastiano Zanolli è uno speaker affermato e autore di svariati libri sul raggiungimento degli obiettivi e della performance aziendale.È anche animatore di tavole rotonde e convegni. Accanto ad una carriera manageriale in ruoli apicali per aziende come Otb/Diesel e Adidas Originals, si occupa di temi relativi alla motivazione personale e delle organizzazioni, alla gestione del cambiamento.Inoltre, dal 2018 Sebastiano Zanolli è Global Brand Ambassador per Beaconforce, una innovativa startup che sfrutta i dati e la tecnologia per favorire il cambiamento all'interno di grandi e grandissime organizzazioni.Il suo bestseller La grande differenza ha raggiunto le ventisei ristampe e una nuova edizione a distanza di quindici anni.

Throughout 2021, a huge portion of news and media cycles surrounded their coverage on the emergence and explosion in popularity of non-fungible tokens, or NFTs. Operating as a new class of digital assets, the concept of NFTs has caused a ripple effect throughout industries and markets the world over. While 2021 may have been the year that saw NFTs gaining traction, 2022 may be the year that they truly take off.In this article, we'll cover the top trends to watch regarding NFTs in 2022 with experts Martin Stava (Co-founder, STRV) and Barron Solomon (Founder & CEO, Solo Music). Keep reading to learn more about each of these trends!1. PFPsA profile picture, or PFP for short, is a type of NFT that has grown immensely in popularity alongside the broader notion of NFTs, themselves. For example, in 2017, CryptoPunks defined an entire category of PFPs through their generative NFT collection that grants users the ability to represent their internet identity with one of their NFTs as an online avatar or PFP. More recently, social media platform Twitter introduced verified hexagonal avatars as part of their Twitter Blue program. This tells us that this trend is far from over and is bound to continue growing throughout 2022.2. IRL UtilityNFTs have already showcased their ability to serve as a utility in real life, or “IRL,” beyond the online digital realms of Discord, OpenSea, Twitter, or other platforms. As NFTs act as a token, they can be utilized as a gateway to access certain IRL experiences (i.e. private memberships). Some examples of top-performing NFT membership groups include Kevin Rose's PROOF Collective, Gary Vee's Veefriends, and Adidas Originals's Into The Metaverse NFT, the latter of which allows NFT holders to redeem physical merchandise in multiple stages and keep the NFT as a gateway to their future metaverse experiences. The Flyfish Club, another NFT membership program instituted by Vaynerchuk, shows how restaurants can leverage NFTs for private memberships, exclusivity, and rewards. Looking deeper into 2022, we can easily imagine how this model can translate to other IRL experiences and activities like wellness, sports clubs, and more.3. 3D Avatars & InteroperabilityInteroperability refers to the basic ability of different computerized products or systems to readily connect and exchange information with one another — in either implementation or access — without restriction. For instance, Larva Labs recently released an application programming interface (API) that allows games and other projects access to the 3D models of Meebits. Another group of 3D avatars released as NFTs includes SnoopDog's The Doggies, a collection of 3D avatars playable in the sandbox-style environment within the Metaverse. Jadu Mirrorverse provides these avatars

The latest news from Adidas is shaking the crypto headlines since Adidas Originals tweeted that they partner up with Coinbase to accept payments in cryptocurrencies. This is actually a proof of an increased adoption of the cryptocurrencies by traditional companies. If this is ‘probably nothing', the SandBox partnership is something big, as the NFTs are about to become the next advertisement tool and the potential is huge because the digital ads market is huge! In traditional market news, the market mood is rather ok-ish after the FOMC minutes, although Federal Reserve (Fed) minutes showed that the US policymakers are now considering a faster QE taper and an earlier interest rate hike if inflation continues running higher. The US 2-year yield continues pushing higher on rising expectation of a tighter Fed policy, but appetite in US equities is not much hit. Nasdaq, which is supposed to be the most sensitive to higher rates closed yesterday's session higher than the other major US indices, while gold slipped below the $1800 per ounce as the rising yields increase the opportunity cost of holding the non-interest-bearing gold, at a time when the risk rally promises bigger returns to investors who invest in, well, risky assets.

Hey, everyone! Today we’re talking to Leigha Monier-Williams. Leigha’s worked with some huge brands, such as Target, United Airlines, Snapchat, and Uber, as well as working with directors Roman Coppola and Lauren Greenfield. Some of her latest notable work is with Jonah Hill on the Adidas Originals account. Some things you’ll hear about in this episode are: How production companies and directors are selected for projects, How she became a producer, How to set boundaries at your company, and how to properly pronounce…‘Adidas.’ Producing Adidas originals. Growing up in a family of artists. Transitioning from NYC > to LA > back to NYC. Leigha’s bridge between college and work - Chelsea Pictures. How big agencies and clients pick production companies and directors. Balancing between personal life and work at Johannes Leonardo. Communicating and resolving conflict with coworkers and producers. Mistakes on the job. Only giving a task to someone you know can accomplish the task within the time frame that it’s needed. Setting boundaries and respecting parameters at work in the commercial advertising industry. Documentary filmmaking. Focus on what you want to do now and not what you want to become in ten years. Where can we become kinder and help others in the ad industry. Leigha misses people, Enneagram 3’s, and Extreme Ownership.

THE SNOWBOARD PROJECT PATHS • Ben Pruess • Episode 179   Paths is a new series from The Snowboard Project covering people who dedicate their recreational time to snowboarding - but have a ‘real world' job.    Ben Pruess is a bad ass. He got his start in snowboarding as a pro rider before becoming the Rev team manager in the early 90s.  From there, things on the career track went a little bananas - launching Salomon Snowboards, running Bonfire, running Adidas Heritage - which he quickly transformed into Adidas Originals - yup he started that. A brief stint running and owning Holden before launching Under Armor's Sportswear division before becoming president of Tommy Hilfiger. That's at least three multibillion dollar companies he has served as VP or better.  He has come  long way. In the second half of the interview we have a conversation about the state of the economy, the impact of Corona and a lot more.    This week's interview is brought to you by CBDAYZ,  and Melvin Brewing. We ask that you support the brands that support disruptive snowboard media.

*Please note that this episode was recorded prior to the Coronavirus outbreak when we thought it wasn't going to happen to us! Therefore when Nina states that the biggest thing affecting us all in the UK right now is Brexit, that is obviously not the case now, although it is still a very important topic. In this episode Nina is joined by Yasmin Hurst and Peter Allen to discuss the question; is change a team sport? which was inspired by the Adidas Originals brilliant campaign called "Change is a Team Sport" to celebrate 50 years since the launch of their iconic Superstar shoes, which have been at the forefront of popular culture ever since. For those of you who don't know, the Adidas Superstar is a shoe, trainer or sneaker, depending on where you are from. The campaign was directed by Jonah Hill and it stars old and new Adidas collaborators. Delivering change is complicated, it's a mixture of science and magic. A Human Approach to Innovation and Change was developed so that we could try and understand the magic, the human elements that are difficult to identify on balance sheets and profit and loss accounts but are essential if change is to be successful and sustainable. Nina, Yasmin and Pete share their experiences on balancing the role of the individual and the team as well as discussing what every team needs if it's going to deliver change.

"I've never considered myself so talented that I could just coast. But I'll outwork you, I'll go into a depth that you aren't willing to go to, and that's just what I know best"Eugene was the first ever Editorial Director at HYPEBEAST where over the course of 8 years, he helped transform a niche blog for sneaker fans, into the global driving force of men's streetwear and fashion that it is today. He is now the co-founder of MAEKAN, a story-driven audiovisual publication devoted to the sights and sounds of creative culture, and is also the Co-Founder of Adam Studios, a creative agency that has shot campaigns with the likes of Chris Pratt for TUMI, and David Beckham for Adidas Originals.We talk about: Lessons from our (short-lived) careers in professional footballThe nuance of ‘following your passion' Good advice for creators and startupsThe difficulty of monetising creative workWhy he refuses to fly business class Decoupling self-worth from net-worthHow never feeling good enough can actually work in our favourand much more.

A show dedicated to artists from the Kenyan and Ugandan underground. Kenyan musician and singer-songwriter Labdi, the only female Orutu player in East Africa, is going to guide us through the episode. She’ll be asking the group how they settled on making their authentic sounds, if they feel free creatively, and whether the influence of West African music is a positive or negative. Answering those questions is: Hibotep, a Ugandan counter-culture visionary, DJ, filmmaker, fashion designer, installation artist, rapper and producer. She’s performed twice for Boiler Room at Nyege Nyege Festival and is one of the lead artists in East Africa’s New Wave.

Heute in den 99 Sekunden Sportbusiness kompakt von und mit Prof. Dr. Gerhard Nowak von der IST-Hochschule für Management: Während Deutschlands Fußball die Gründe für den fehlenden Nachwuchs diskutiert, beginnt ein erfolgreiches Franchisesystem aus England die heimische Sportlandschaft zu erobern. Im Fokus stehen Kinder zwischen 18 Monaten und sieben Jahren. Little Kickers ist nach eigenen Angaben weltweiter Marktführer im Vorschulfußball. Praktischerweise kann gleichzeitig Englisch gelernt werden. Little Kickers ist bereits auf sechs Kontinenten tätig ist. Jede Woche nehmen über 70.000 Kinder an einem Training teil. Bis Ende 2020 sollen zehn Angebote entstehen in Frankfurt, Berlin, München, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Köln, Düsseldorf und Dresden. Der Jahresumsatz beträgt 30 Millionen US Dollar. Zum Jubiläum des Mauerfalls bietet Adidas in limitierter Stückzahl eine "Wendejacke" an. "Wallbreaker" nennt Adidas Originals die Botschafter, die gesellschaftliche Mauern "einreißen". Mit dabei die Musiker Sido und Trettmann, Profi-Schiedsrichterin Bibiana Steinhaus oder Moderatorin Wana Limar. "Wir wollen ein klares Zeichen dafür setzen, dass Wandel, Freiheit und Einheit auch in der heutigen Zeit von gesellschaftlicher Bedeutungsind. Wallbreaker, also Menschen, die durch ihr Denken und Handeln andere dazu inspirieren, Hindernissen entgegenzutreten, prägen auch heute das aktuelle Zeitgeschehen", so Björn Jäger, Vice President Brand Adidas. Der Weltrat des Motorsport-Verbandes FIA hat umfangreiche Reformen für die Formel 1 beschlossen. Ab2021 soll die Motorsportserie mithilfe sportlicher, technischer und finanzieller Veränderungen attraktiver werden. So soll es anstatt wie bisher 22 Rennen künftig 25 geben. Das Rennwochenende soll hingegen von bislang vier auf nur noch drei Tage verkürzt werden. Erstmalig führt die Formel 1 ab 2021 eine Budgetobergrenze ein. Die Rennställe dürfen dann jährlich maximal 157 Millionen Euro ausgeben. Jedoch sind die Gehälter der Fahrer und Reisekosten hiervon ausgenommen.

Das Rennwochenende soll hingegen von bislang vier auf nur noch drei Tage verkürzt werden. Erstmalig führt die Formel 1 ab 2021 eine Budgetobergrenze ein. Die Rennställe dürfen dann jährlich maximal 157 Millionen Euro ausgeben. Jedoch sind die Gehälter der Fahrer und Reisekosten hiervon ausgenommen.

Alegra O'Hare has quite the plethora of career success tips in her back pocket, along with a sommelier license that has a future role to play still.  As one big career stop before Gap, Alegra spent 12 years at Adidas, most recently leading Global Brand Marketing for Adidas Originals. In that role, she sharpened her toolkit for success and experienced one of her scariest career moments yet – accepting her Brand Genius award in front of famed fashion editor, Anna Wintour. As we dive deep into Alegra’s new role at Gap, we explore how she approached her first 90 days, how she uncovered the opportunities, what changes she has instituted already and how that has enabled her and her team to produce two blockbuster campaigns within a week of each other – Forward and Denim Now. She also shares tips on how to stay focused on success and “the next 20 feet” – which, as she shares in her podcast, also serves as her personal email address.

Single mom. Queen MILF. Adidas Originals connoisseur. Fitness influencer extraordinaire, Nor Soraya comes on the pod and slays negative perceptions and stigma about letting it all hang out on Instagram and tells you to own that sh*t!

Soraya explains it all and she also drops knowledge bombs on how her fellow influencers out there should carry themselves and not act a fool! Take some damn notes!

Today we are in the fashion department talking about a new pair of court shoes. I like doing interesting things for exercise and fun. Personally, I don't see much fun in sitting on a stationary bike or walking on a treadmill for forty minutes. So I go hiking, inline skating, play disc golf, and lift weights. That last one may not be interesting or fun to some people, but I enjoy it. I have been trying to find interesting ways to get cardio exercise, and one of the things I've been doing (or planning to do) is playing racquetball. The last time I played I used my Brooks Adrenaline running shoes (https://amzn.to/2VcBZGJ for men, https://amzn.to/2JwPiQ0 for women) and injured my ankle! And a theme this year is that I am buying shoes specifically designed for my various activities. So I needed some court shoes. I did some searching, and then I remembered a product I had already used for years that I really liked. Read the full post at http://RunningAFEVER.com/158 Weight 7-day Avg.

We take a dive into fashion collaborations and the H&M x Moschino Collection on this episode.  Before we spring into, and break down the collection, Sigi tell us about the Filipino comfort food, ukoy, and shares the recipe here.  We reminisce about Target Canada and try our best to understand it's untimely demise.  We then encourage you to analyze along with us by declaring either "Toot or Boot" or "Nay or Yay" as we pick 10 images from H&M x Moschino lookbook and discuss how the designs thrill us or not , and how the collection references the nineties, Disney and MTV. We also explore the Marie Alcober's docuseries "Dual Citizen" series and how she's profiled Filipino Canadians, like a conscious-raising musical artist Han-Han and the creative director of modern Filpinana wear at Vinta Gallery, Caroline Mangosing.  Caroline's approach to fashion makes us realize how fashion not only references styles, but also references regions.  We meditate on how regionalism in the Philippines reflects the particular emphasis and expression of being Filipino in that area, and invite listeners to appreciate those differences. In the Mix this Week: H&M Collaborations over the years,  Jeremy Scott Short Bio,  News of Adidas Originals by Jeremy Scott,  Jeremy Scott Webstore ,  Diane Von Furstenberg for Gap, Dual Citizen Series,  Han Han, VINTA Gallery - Modern Filipinana

There is something – many things, really – that can be said about having a conversation with Timothy George Kelly (dir., Brexitannia) on the current state of documentary film (or Brexit, for that matter). But you probably wouldn't believe me if I tried to explain it here. The best thing to do, of course, would be to simply dive into the episode. But you should do so with some caution.   For this episode may provoke you. It may force you to think of your doc making in a different way. It may make you anxious. It could make you annoyed. Or it could make you jump for joy with happiness and exaltation. Whatever my conversation with Timothy does, if nothing else, you will be moved in some direction. This is not unlike, of course, what the whole Brexit referendum did a couple of years back. Which, by the way, Timothy thankfully covered in brilliant and black and white fashion with his stunning new film, Brexitannia.   Topics Discussed the importance of having conversations about how & when you screwed up as a filmmaker and why the industry is scared of those conversations why Timothy makes docs that deal in truth, and not the blurring of lines between fact and fiction how intentionally making strong creative decisions on Brexitannia practically ensure that it would not be seen on the tele how & why we can and should be making political docs that are interesting to an audience in an effort to engage them in political discourse   Related Sources° Watch the trailer for Brexitannia https://vimeo.com/210570776   ° A great example of Timothy's filmmaking where doc meets commercial. Made for https://www.adidas.com/us/originals (Adidas Originals) and https://boilerroom.tv/ (Boiler Room.) https://vimeo.com/179881825   ° The trailer for Timothy's film that he hates, A City is An Island https://vimeo.com/167117333   Journey to Kathmadu http://wwwjourneytokathmanducom.vhx.tv/ ()If you are interested in watching TDL host, Chris G.

Regardless if you're simply looking for more info on the making of J2K'or you're a budding independent filmmaker (or just a fan of goats!), this is a must-have for anyone who enjoys gaining insight into what goes into the making of an independent documentary in a developing country.   Sponsors & Thank Youshttp://freemusicarchive.org/ (Free Music Archive) – Special Thank You to recording artist, http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dlay/ (Dlay) who supplied music for this week's episode of TDL.

The Universe truly has it's own way of leading us where we need to be. Geronimo was in NYC over the weekend and linked with one of his good friends, Erin Corley. Erin is general manager of Adidas Originals in SoHo, the #AdiGawd, and one of the most reinventing people you could meet. This was one helluva interview which unfortunately ended up getting cut short and had some static in the mix(thanks modern technology). There were way too many gems dropped for us not to put this one out. Geronimo talked with Erin about how growing up in the Bronx inspired her to pursue a rap career, attending two different colleges and gaining from both experiences, being a reformed nightclub host and promoter, how professional and romantic breakups led her to greater opportunities, Critical Place Theory and much more. Geronimo even introduced a new segment which still remains nameless - Just know it's culturally-relevant. Spread the word and follow us. All The Fly Kids on everything.

In this week’s episode of “Marketing Today,” Alan talks with Alegra O’Hare, vice president of global brand communications for Adidas. O’Hare led the Adidas team in the creation of the “Original Is Never Finished” campaign that took home a Grand Prix at Cannes, and she was honored by Adweek in 2017 as a Brand Genius. In the course of her conversation with Alan, O’Hare talks about the value of courage in leading a brand. “You have to embody and show it,” says O’Hare. “I think you really have to transmit it, be authentic and genuine about it — and be championing it. And be celebrating it when it’s successful.” That isn’t to say O’Hare endorses a “fools rush in” approach when it comes to courage: “It’s not about taking risks for risk’s sake,” she adds. “It’s got to be part of the strategy, it’s got to be close to the values of the brand, it’s got to make business sense.” Highlights from this week’s “Marketing Today” podcast include: O’Hare believes she was defined by both her parents’ career paths — businessperson and artist — to become the person she is today. (1:26) The fuel for O’Hare’s fire: The pursuit of ideas and the desire to leave a legacy. (3:25) O’Hare discusses her role at Adidas. (4:38) Courage and practical risk-taking. (8:40) The vision and creativity (and collaboration) behind the Adidas Originals brand. (10:43) “Original Is Never Finished.” (12:14) O’Hare lets us in on a campaign secret: The power is in the music coming first.

Ferdinando is a founding member and creative director at Johannes Leonardo (New York). Born in Parma, he was classically educated in Ancient Greek, Latin and philosophy, which he credits with his inbuilt curiosity and ability to think creatively in abstract terms. His roots run deep: from advertising, through art, photography, fashion, economics, magazine publishing and the recent co-authorship of the inspiring book – We Can't Do This Alone – with Jefferson Hack. We learn how the future doesn't necessarily need to be as bleak and dystopian as many are forecasting; why it's important to understand that every life choice we make is far-from-final; how the ‘younger you' should be your biggest critic as you advance through life; and why the bigger the problems we have, may mean the bigger the life that we're actually living.

As two wise Chemically enhanced men once said, ‘The brothers gonna work it out’. It’s an adage the Smokingroove brothers - Safe and Marko - have taken to heart and we’re glad to have worked out getting them on the Gangstercast for episode 43. Starting off the main part of their career in their native home of London, they cut their teeth on the underground club scene in the 90s and their style of “deep, Chicago-flavored House music with a Jacking vibe” has seen them sign records to Roger Sanchez’s Stealth Records and DJ Sneak’s Magnetic Recordings, as well as penning a string of releases on their own Illuminati Recordings imprint. Their love of House music has prevailed and they reflect, “[House music] is the spirit of clubs, the people we meet and the life we have. For a musical genre, it’s pretty special in that way.“ They’ve hosted radio shows for over 10 years and it’s perhaps on the DJ front that the brothers have made their biggest impact. With both Safe and Marko now based in Dubai, they hold down the most coveted residency in the Middle East at the much-copied but never bettered Nasimi Beach, and have played huge events such as Creamfields Abu Dhabi, Pete Tong’s Wonderland, El Divino Ibiza and Savannah Ibiza as well as countless legendary UK clubs. More recently they have become brand ambassadors for Adidas Originals, New Era & Pioneer DJ and they have mixed the first in a series of Pacha Dubai CDs. Episode 43 of the Gangstercast allows Smokingroove to flex their DJ muscles, as they explain, “Over the last 16 years, we’ve built our own mental-inventory of great records and music we honestly love and feel. The mix captures our love of the sound. This mix was recorded live so everything in there is pretty indicative of what we play. You’re getting the Smokingroove sound in this mix. This isn’t a practiced, studio set. Real deal, one-shot take.” They add that the House Gangster movement is, “like a global clique of people who all vibe off the same music and mentality. House is a broad genre so this feels like membership to an exclusive global family within that. Real underground House music with a street-edge to it. A little something for everyone but keeping the beats correct and a definitive underground vibe.”
