Barton Damer's entrepreneurship story is a bit different from what we usually hear. He wasn't a terrible employee, nor was burnt by his nine to five; he actually did enjoy his job and had a side hustle as a freelancer with digital arts in which he loved working on the weekends. With time, his side hustle started growing to the point that he had to make a choice; he was overbooked as a freelancer, and in 15 to 20 hours a week, Barton was making the same as he was making in his full-time job. Already Been Chewed started as a Design and Inspiration blog when the entire world was blogging, where Barton mixed pieces of art he found interesting and inspiring with his own work. By the time he decided to quit his nine to five and start his own studio, he already had a solid following and a brand. It was a no-brainer. Barton Damer is the Owner, Creative Director, and Founding Artist of Already Been Chewed, a design, motion graphics, and 3d animation studio. They work with some of the most iconic brands globally, like Marvel, UFC, New Balance, NBA, Disney, DC, Star Wars, and Nike, to name a few. Barton was named 2009 Digital Artist of the Year by Computer Arts Magazine and Veer Creative Catalyst Winner in 2011. Our conversation spins around Barton's decision to begin his own creative studio, his journey as a digital artist and entrepreneur, and his decision to start his company in Texas. He shared details of how two different injuries in both of his knees ended his skateboarding aspirations and opened artistic possibilities simultaneously. We also talk about the influence of skateboarding, Hip Hop, and basketball in his childhood and how that upbringing helped him connect deeply with most of the clients they work with at the agency.

A Live Camp Mograph Fireside Reunion with Erin Sarofsky, Barton Damer, & Ryan Summers. An update on how the industry has changed since camp.
Dexton Deboree, Founder & Chief Creative Officer of Falcon, and director of the award-winning documentary, "Unbanned: The Legend of the AJ1", joined the podcast to discuss storytelling, entrepreneurship and the role of filmmaking in sports culture. A lost youth in Florida, Dexton didn't have a path. He was unsure of his future; however, a revelatory moment in the middle of the night in college changed him forever and led him to creative pursuits and a transfer to a film school. Obsessed with the idea of being a screenwriter, Dexton became fixated on writing—almost to a fault—believing that if he wasn't writing he wasn't pursuing his destiny. This caused him to nearly miss out on a breadth of experience he would later gain as a P.A., which led to a wealth of knowledge about the business of film. Listen in as Dexton shares stories about the early years of his career and how his unorthodox path led him to eventually buy and rebrand a studio, and later leave that studio to found Falkon®. Dexton shares the things he's learned being an entrepreneur in film, including how unpredictabe business is and how no one truly has things figured out. Lastly we discuss two films Dexton wrote, directed and produced: "Unbanned: The Legend of the AJ1", a film about the legendary sneaker and its alleged banning from the league featuring numerous interviews with famous personalities at Nike, the NBA and entertainment; and "Promiseland", a docu-series following 2019-20 NBA Rookie Ja Morant as he ventures through the first year of his pro basketball career which happened to include Covid-19 shutdowns, the NBA bubble, social justice issues and winning Rookie of the Year.

When you see slick, cutting edge digital design being used by big brands, your brain probably conjures up images of a bustling studio in a big city like New York or LA where the cost of living is astronomical and your lifestyle is limited to your surroundings. What if we told you that that same cutting edge design was being created in small-town America where living cost is palatable and there are more opportunities for you to have the life you want. Barton Damer, owner and Creative Director at Already Been Chewed Studio in Wylie Texas talks about how his nonconformist passion for skateboarding blossomed into creating a world-class studio that is very much off the beaten path.
Barton Damer chats with us about business, building a studio you would want to work for, and choosing the clients you want to work with.

Damer on getting work: "You have to be a hype machine. You have to create hype around yourself and most artists are very uncomfortable doing that because they feel they are bragging or they feel like they are going to get made fun of online." Barton Damer, founding artist and creative director of the boutique 3d animation and motion design studio AlreadyBeenChewed, joined the podcast for a chat about his career and how he has grown his company into one of the leading studios for producing motion content in sports and entertainment. Barton reveals how an injury skateboarding—a sport and culture he has always been passionate about—pushed him to learn graphic design and motion so he could continue to hang out with his skateboarding buddies. Damer touches on how he moonlighted nights and weekends for years while having a full-time job because he was the sole income supporting his family of 5 and how fourteen years into his career he began getting his first big brand work from sneaker companies as he developed a new style outside of his job. I ask Barton many questions about how one can get into motion, where to start, etc. as a total n00b on the medium and he shares some great advice. Lastly, Barton shares his thoughts on the future of motion including where VR/AR fit into the space.

"On a Saturday afternoon when every sports fan is going to watch their chosen sport, there are thousands of brands barking at them whether it's a print paper, online, in stadium on LEDs, in the matchday program; there's all these messages and presumably only the best are going to get taken home with fans and that's what our job is: to be the best messengers." Simon Dent is a former sports business lawyer & agent turned creative agency founder in the U.K. As managing partner of Dark Horses, Simon leads a team of world-class creatives working with brand such as Peloton, PUMA, City Football Group, Southampton F.C., Under Armour, Nissan and more. Whilst working as an agent, Simon realized that brands were missing opportunities to better engage fans via athletes he represented, so he founded an advertising agency. Simon discusses the emotional aspect of sport and how consumer brands can leverage those emotions to engage consumers in a more authentic way rather than simply sharing a logo on the scoreboard. We also chat about how an outside agency can bring a different high-level, strategic perspective to clubs and avoid being pigeonholed as production creatives like so many in-house creatives do with team marketing execs. Simon elaborates on why sporting brands should be vary weary of the competition for attention in future fans now that the internet offers attention grabbers like Fortnite, YouTube and Netflix. Lastly, we discuss creative culture and more specifically how Dark Horses uses it to recruit and keep creatives.
