Welcome to Episode 37 of the I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman Podcast, hosted by Luis Guzman.In this raw and inspiring episode, we sit down with Christo, the owner and creator of Christo's Wake & Steak in Bloomfield, New Jersey. He's known for making what many call the best cheesesteaks in the state—but his story runs way deeper than just killer sandwiches.Christo's path is built on passion, grit, and old-school values. He started working in a pizzeria at thirteen, learned the game the hard way, and saved every penny for years. From working alongside his brother to running a nonprofit clinic, to finally firing up the grill at Wake & Steak, Christo's journey is all heart and hustle.This episode digs into what makes Wake & Steak different—tight hours, a small menu, and insane attention to detail. It's a full-on rebellion against fast-food shortcuts, built on pride and precision. Christo's not trying to be everything to everyone—he's just trying to do things right.We talk about launching a small business without big money or marketing teams, the nerves of opening day, and how social media unexpectedly helped Wake & Steak explode. Christo shares his philosophy on treating every customer like family, the power of quality over quantity, and why showing up with consistency is everything.Luis and Christo also chop it up about what it means to be an artist in the business world. For Christo, his food is his art—and not everyone's going to get it. That's fine by him. He doesn't do pizza steaks. He won't cut corners to please a crowd. His story is a reminder that real success comes from staying true to your vision, even when it's scary.We also get into the grind: working multiple jobs, saving with intention, pushing through setbacks (including the pandemic), and never quitting—even when it felt like no one was watching. Christo drops his “tree analogy” for growth—how you grow as tall as you're meant to grow, and you weather every storm that comes your way. It's gold.If you're a food entrepreneur, creative, or just someone stuck at the starting line of your dream, this episode is a wake-up call. It's a gut-level look at the risks, sacrifices, and joy that come from betting on yourself. It's also a celebration of what happens when you pick passion over popularity and integrity over shortcuts.Christo's Wake & Steak is at 1290 Broad Street in Bloomfield, NJ. They're open 7AM to 3PM—or until they sell out (which they often do). The menu is simple but deadly: the OG cheesesteak with Cheese Whiz, the “new school” with Cooper Sharp, and the North Shore beef that disappears almost instantly. Everything's made fresh, by hand, and with serious care.If you've ever doubted food can be art, Christo's about to prove you wrong. And if you've ever questioned whether your dream is worth the risk—this one's for you.Make sure to subscribe to the I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman Podcast for more real talk with artists, creatives, and entrepreneurs who are building lives they believe in—without selling out. New episodes every week on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you listen.If this episode fired you up, leave a comment, share it with someone who needs the boost, and hit that subscribe button.Follow Christo's Wake & Steak on Instagram for food shots, behind-the-scenes chaos, and sell-out alerts. Pro tip: show up early.Because yeah—passion, hustle, and a little bit of crazy still make the best stories.

Le 15 avril, c'est la Journée mondiale de l'art. Pour célébrer cette journée, A la folie, pas du tout met en avant des couples d'artistes qui ont marqué l'histoire. Des couples qui se sont aimés et qui se sont inspirés mutuellement. Cacher pour révéler le monde « Révéler en cachant ». Telle était la devise du duo Christo et Jeanne-Claude, rendus célèbres en empaquetant certains des plus impressionnants monuments construits par l'homme. C'est avec beaucoup de liberté qu'ils ont parcouru le monde et qu'ils ont créé ensemble. Ils ne se reconnaissaient pas dans les concepts de Land Art ou d'Art Conceptuel. Ils se décrivaient plutôt comme des architectes environnementaux. Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecrit et raconté par Alice Deroide Première diffusion : 30 avril 2021 Learn more about your ad choices.

Christo Georgiev, co-founder and CEO of LenderLink, a credit data platform bridging gaps in the Philippines' lending ecosystem, joins us to talk about the credit data revolution he's spearheading in the Philippines. From growing up in post-communist Bulgaria to building startups across three continents, Christo shares how he's tackling one of the country's most persistent financial problems: fragmented credit information. He dives into lessons from early failures, leading FinScore through the pandemic, and why he left a successful exit to start again. Christo breaks down how LenderLink is changing the game by connecting financial institutions, aggregating credit data in real time, and giving millions of Filipinos better access to formal credit. If you're into fintech, startup grit, or building infrastructure that actually makes lives better, this one's for you.This episode is brought to you by OneCFOFor show notes, go to Hustleshare.comHustleshare is powered by Podmachine Test https://plus.acast.com/s/hustleshare.

20 years ago, the late Christo and Jeanne-Claude transformed Central Park with The Gates, a temporary public art installation featuring 7,503 saffron-colored gates adorned with free-flowing fabric. After being elected as Mayor of New York City, Mike Bloomberg worked with the artists to bring their vision to life.The results? Over its 16 days on display, the public art piece drew more than four million visitors to Central Park in the middle of winter and brought an estimated $254 million in economic activity to the city.Christo and Jeanne-Claude were known for their site-specific, large-scale public artworks, which often reimagined landmarks or landscapes into surreal spaces with objects, fabrics, textures, and colors. From surrounding 11 islands in Miami's Biscayne Bay with bright pink fabric, to wrapping Paris's Pont Neuf bridge with silky, golden fabric, the pair created bold and brilliant outdoor projects that spanned the globe and garnered international acclaim for their expansiveness and originality. The point of their installations? It was simple; no deeper meaning was contained within the works, but they provided visitors with joy, beauty, and new perspectives on familiar spaces.  For a limited time, the public can experience a portion of The Gates through an augmented reality experience in Central Park powered by the Bloomberg Connects app and learn more about Christo and Jeanne-Claude's NYC projects at Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Gates and Unrealized Projects for New York City, the latest exhibition at The Shed.On this episode of Follow the Data, Megan Sheekey sits down with Patti Harris, CEO of Bloomberg Philanthropies, and  Vladimir Yavachev, Director of Projects at the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Foundation, to dive deeper into the 20th anniversary of The Gates, the prolific life and works of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, and the critical role public art plays in cities around the world.

Will genetic therapies revolutionize hearing loss treatment? Dr. Christo Bester, Head of Implant Innovation at Ear Science Institute Australia, discusses the emerging role of gene therapy and personalized medicine in hearing restoration. He highlights the Aussie Earbank initiative, a pioneering effort to collect genetic samples and audiometric data, helping researchers develop targeted treatments. With over 155 genes linked to hearing loss, this presents both challenges and opportunities for targeted interventions. He emphasizes the importance of global collaboration in advancing gene therapy, as large-scale research efforts are needed to bring these treatments from the lab to clinical practice. The discussion sheds light on how biobanking plays a crucial role in identifying patients who may benefit from emerging genetic treatments, offering new hope beyond traditional hearing aids and cochlear implants.Looking ahead, gene therapy and personalized medicine are set to reshape hearing care by complementing existing solutions. While still in its early stages, genetic research is paving the way for a future where treatments are tailored to an individual's unique genetic profile, potentially restoring hearing function in ways never before possible.Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for the latest episodes each week, and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter):https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearing/https://twitter.com/WeekinHearing

L'association Blind S.A., qui accompagne les déficients visuels, se bat pour l'exemption des droits d'auteurs quand il s'agit de contenu adapté, notamment en braille. Selon la loi sud-africaine, pour traduire un livre, il faut systématiquement en demander les droits d'auteur. Cela limite grandement les chances pour Blind S.A., principal traducteur en braille du pays, de traduire certains livres, et prive les déficients visuels de nombreuses œuvres. Une loi est censée mettre en place cette exemption, mais le processus d'application est bloqué depuis des années. « Ici, nous avons une tablette en métal avec un stylet. C'est ainsi que l'on écrivait en braille à l'époque. Ensuite, nous avions cette petite machine manuelle. Mais c'est vieux, on n'utilise plus ça aujourd'hui », explique Ofentse Manyane. Aujourd'hui, ces anciennes machines à écrire en braille sont des pièces de musée. Ofentse Manyane nous emmène dans l'atelier de l'association.« Cette machine imprime 1 000 pages par heure », précise-t-il face à une grosse machine connectée à un ordinateur. Les pages en braille sortent les unes après les autres. « Là, par exemple, c'est un livre politique pour le Botswana, car on imprime pour toute l'Afrique, pas seulement l'Afrique du Sud », confie Ofentse Manyane.Cette activité est néanmoins perturbée par les droits d'auteur, nécessaires à chaque conversion en braille. Christo de Klerk, président de l'association, détaille : « Neuf fois sur dix, nous n'avons pas les droits, et nous ne pouvons pas convertir. Ce n'est même pas qu'on nous les refuse, mais dans 90% des cas, ils ne se donnent même pas la peine de répondre à notre demande de droits. »À lire aussiL'invention du brailleUne lueur d'espoir face à ce combatAprès des années de combat et de déception, vient l'espoir : un nouveau projet de loi sur la protection des œuvres stipule que, pour une conversion en braille, il n'y a plus besoin de demander les droits. Seulement, cela bloque côté politique : depuis 2017, le projet de loi enchaîne les allers-retours entre le parlement et le Conseil constitutionnel.« La section 19D stipule exactement ce que nous avons toujours demandé. Mais la loi n'a toujours pas été promulguée, car les politiques n'arrivent pas à se mettre d'accord sur d'autres points de cette loi. Et nous, nous sommes les otages de ces désaccords », développe Christo de Klerk.« Seulement 0,5 % des œuvres sont disponibles en contenu accessible. Et automatiquement, ça réduit notre accès à l'éducation », déplore Jace Nair, PDG de Blind S.A. « Quand j'étudiais l'espagnol par exemple, j'ai demandé la conversion d'un livre très important. Mais nous n'avons pas réussi à obtenir les droits. Résultat : j'ai dû abandonner mes études d'espagnol », reprend Christo de Klerk. Huit ans donc que Blind S.A. milite pour que cette loi soit enfin signée.

As we enter what promises to be an era of American-style Christo-fascism, it's hard for secular people -- people of reason, of science, who believe that faith is earned by evidence -- to not be cynical of those whose deeply held yet unproveable (indeed, improbable) beliefs will soon be determining our laws and dictating our behaviors.Yet, without hope there is only despair. So as we turn the page on 2024, a year of frustration followed by cautious optimism followed by grief for some/surrender for others, we at Unreasonable are like moths seeking the light. Our flame? Sasha Sagan. Sasha is a television producer, filmmaker, writer, and speaker on the ways science can inform our celebrations and how we mark the passage of time, inspired in part by the work of her parents, Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan.Her podcast “Strange Customs” explores why we practice the rites of our ancestors, act them out, teach them to the next generation, often without questioning them. "When we take a step back, however, what can seem bizarre, arbitrary…can also be, sometimes, profoundly beautiful.”Our holiday gift to you: a ray of reason-based sunshine for these gloomy times. Support the show

Based on his first-term record as the most anti-nature president in American history, Craig sees the Florida environment as a big loser of Donald Trump's second term in office.In 1983, contemporary artists Christo and Jean-Claude created a massive installation of pink fabric in Biscayne Bay titled 'Surrounded Islands.' The couple's foundation recently donated archival items related to the project to the NSU Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale which will stage an exhibition of the materials beginning in February of 2025. NSU Art Museum Director and Chief Curator Bonnie Clearwater gives us the details.

Goshka Macuga talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work.Macuga was born in 1967 in Warsaw, Poland. Her deep research into multifarious subjects manifests in the form of installations, sculpture, tapestry, photography, video and more. As well as making objects, she occupies a role that relates closely to that of a curator and historian, often weaving together her creations with existing materials, including artworks and archival documents. Place has enormous significance in her practice, whether it is the museum or gallery, the city or the country in which she is presenting her ideas. After exploring her site and engaging in lengthy research, she fuses her own subjective interest with objective material, to produce absorbing and often complex environments that provoke broad meanings and reactions. She discusses the transformative impact of seeing the work of Christo in an art magazine; her interest in Paul Nash and Eileen Agar—and the personal importance to her of a work by Agar that is in her studio; how the subversive strategies used by Stanisław Lem when he was writing science fiction in Communist Poland have influenced her practice; and how, during Covid, she created a club for dancing in her studio. Plus, she gives insight into her rituals and disciplines and answers our usual questions, including, “what is art for?”Goshka Macuga: Born from Stone, London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE, until 18 January 2025.
