SEASON 1, EPISODE 7: Having known of Alex Bogusky (@brogusky) for quite some time through his awesome YouTube channel “Joy of Bike” and his background in the world of advertising (Crispin Porter Bogusky), I was so stoked to finally connect in person to record Episode 7. We met at Valmont Bike Park in Boulder where many of his videos are shot, and over the course of a couple hours we touched on many things. Alex shared stories of growing up in Miami at the forefront of the BMX era, friends that become brothers through a shared bike connection, the pure joy and freedom that a bike can bring, and that sometimes it can also bring such unexpected heartache. Ending with smiles, appreciation, laughs and awareness, I was really happy to work on this one.

A better world comes down to creating powerful experiences that remind people that they actually love and care about the welfare of other human beings. For those who embrace this view, businesses and brands are tools that we can use to generate that experience, and inspire people to take action. I’ve been fortunate throughout my career, and as CEO of COMMON, to have been asked to participate in this pursuit." In this episode we discuss Trauma and its effects, relinquishing the assumed right to power, managing rage, being a black man in LA during these times and much more.

Alex Bogusky is Co-Founder and Chief Creative Engineer of Crispin Porter+Bogusky. Alex lead the legendary ascension of CP+B to become the world's most famous and awarded agency over more than a decade, and the first ever to win the Cannes Grand Prix in all five categories. The agency grew to over a thousand employees, with offices in Miami, Boulder, Los Angeles, London and Sweden, and with annual billings over $1 billion. Alex has been called the Steve Jobs of advertising. In 2008, he was inducted into the Art Director's Club Hall of Fame. In 2010, he received the rare honor of being named "Creative Director of the Decade" by Adweek. It was later that same year that Alex left CP+B, shifting his focus to consumer advocacy and social initiatives, while investing in early stage start-ups. Then, in August of 2018, some eight years after he departed CP+B, Alex shocked the advertising world by announcing his return.

Alex Bogusky, the once and future king of creativity, is returning to CP+B, so of course we have to talk about his legacy, absence and second coming. We also talk about Under Armour's brand chief moving to Nike, the week's best ads and our annual Grad Guide packed with tips for those entering the workforce.

Alex Bogusky spent years atop the advertising world while running one of the hottest ad agencies in the country, Crispin Porter + Bogusky. But he left the business while at the top of his game in 2010, switching his focus to spending more time with his two young children and working with social entrepreneurs. On this episode of Paternal, Bogusky discusses his decision to leave the ad industry, the problems with advertising to young children and how he dealt with his father’s depression while running the family ad business while still in his 20s.

“The Internet is a great tool but you can only learn so much. Actually going to a place physically where you have someone that has [designed] at the highest level, you learn so much more…that experience is invaluable.” FYI: Sneakers are a passion of mine. It's no secret. This episode is quite nerdy on the sneaker talk. Xavier Jones, footwear designer at Reebok, joined the podcast to discuss the footwear design industry and his path to designing for athletes like Shaq and Allen Iverson. Xavier's story begins in the Michigan basketball mecca of Flint. He let's us in on his story and how SLAM Magazine, And One and Ballislife inspired and led him to pursue a dream of designing sneakers for a living. We chat about some of our favorite kicks, discuss the evolution of the Jordan Brand, reminisce about the prime of the And One Mixtape and discuss how sport influences mainstream culture and hence sneaker culture. Xavier and I also discuss the unfortunate topic of violence which often happens at rare sneaker releases and how scarcity mindset and poverty effect the violent aspect of these events. Xavier also chats about some of the design processes as a sneaker designer; including what software designers use, why attending Pensole is vital, the collaboration dynamics of teams working on footwear products & more.

Welcome to episode #541 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. You can't turn down the chance to have a chat with legendary advertising professional, Alex Bogusky. Yes, he was on the cover of Fast Company magazine. Yes, he's been called the Steve Jobs of advertising. Alex joined famed ad agency, Crispin and Porter, in 1989. In just five years, the agency was renamed Crispin Porter + Bogusky and grew to more than 1000 employees with billings over one billion dollars. Under Alex's leadership, the agency became the most awarded advertising agency in the world. They are the only agency to have won the Cannes Advertising Grand Prix in all five catagories. Adweek named him "Creative Director of the Decade" in 2010. That's when he retired from advertising to focus on consumer advocacy, angel investing and the venture capital space. Based on Boulder, Colorado, Alex is involved in many new businesses and ventures. So, does he miss our world? Enjoy the conversation...

During a creative career filled with awards and recognition, it took Alex Bogusky a while to realize that none of it mattered unless he loved the work. “You could win the Grand Prix at Cannes—the next day you’re going to go into your office and look at the same dude across the office and try to think of something. It doesn’t feel any better; it didn’t make you any smarter; it doesn’t make anything any easier,” Bogusky says. He did, in fact, win the most prestigious award at Cannes Advertising. Actually, under his leadership, the firm Crispin Porter + Bogusky won in all five categories, and became the world’s most awarded advertising agency. Bogusky himself was named Creative Director of the Decade by Adweek magazine, and Fast Company has called him both the Steve Jobs and the Elvis of advertising. Looking over his many endeavors, Bogusky is a hard person to pin down. There’s a friendly, surfery quality about him, but he’s also gained a reputation as a perfectionist and ferocious supervisor. He’s worked for both car companies and Al Gore’s climate change initiative. He’s overseen iconic ad campaigns for junk food, and the most successful youth-focused anti-smoking campaign in U.S. history. Having left the agency six years ago, he’s now focusing on work with a social responsibility component, supporting multiple creative agencies and a startup accelerator. But for all of the goals he’s achieved, Bogusky says the happiness he’s found in his career comes from loving the journey—that practice of sitting down with other people and thinking really hard to solve a problem. “I’ve found that I had to learn to love the process and forget all the goals. Because the goals, as you achieved them, they didn’t really change anything.” In this interview you will learn: How to embrace change and use it to fuel your creativity Why you need to listen to voices outside your startup and what it could mean for you When and where advertising and branding comes in for a business How to find opportunities to upset the status quo How you can start loving the journey regardless of its highs and lows & much more!
