Wade “Cito” Lammar Wheelington III is living the dream of countless artists. The creator and driving force behind ShugoPro (meaning “Guardian Productions”), Cito has successfully merged his passion for American superheroes and Japanese culture into a thriving professional career. A recent feature on the Mostly Superheroes Podcast offered a deep dive into his journey, confirming him as one of the most exciting creators to watch in the world of independent manga and beyond. A Lifelong Love Affair with Art and Anime Cito's artistic path began in elementary school, fueled by a fascination with classic comic books and superheroes. This passion soon broadened to include an intense interest in Japanese culture, ignited by visits to the annual St. Louis Japanese Festival. It was here that he discovered and became captivated by anime and manga classics, specifically citing titles like Sailor Moon and Yu Yu Hakusho as major inspirations. His goal became singular and ambitious: to move to Japan and produce his own manga. He began studying the Japanese language in high school to pave the way. Education and Acclaim in Japan Cito transformed his dream into reality in 2012 when he moved to Japan. After initially furthering his language studies at the Nagano Kokusai Bunka Gakuin, he gained acceptance into the prestigious Tokyo Communication Arts Specialty School in 2014. There, he majored in Creative Design with a focus on honing his skills as a manga artist. His talent quickly stood out. During his time at the college, he won first place in the school's annual Manga Grand Prix. His work gained significant attention from the local media, being featured on three different Japanese television programs before his graduation in the spring of 2017. Current Projects: Love or Duty and Marvel Following his formal education, Cito has focused on bringing his original stories to life: Manga Success: Cito published his first short series, Blue Crisis Love, in 2016 while still a student. He is now heavily focused on his shoujo manga passion project, Love or Duty. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the complete 10-chapter first season was published in 2023 and is available digitally on Kindle. Cito confirmed that the highly anticipated Season 2 is currently halfway complete, promising more romance and action for his growing fanbase. The Isaiah Bradley Project: In a major potential development, Cito is also collaborating on "The Isaiah Bradley Project," a new endeavor with Marvel. This project aims to deliver an updated retelling of the original comic book Truth: Red, White & Black, which explores the backstory of Isaiah Bradley, the first Captain America prototype. The initiative is also set to include new merchandise, such as posters and hats, to accompany the production. Cito Wheelington III, through ShugoPro, continues to be a vibrant example of how dedication and a fusion of international influences can lead to creative success. Fans of manga and superhero lore alike should keep an eye on this talented artist as he takes on Season 2 of Love or Duty and, potentially, the Marvel Universe.

"A world where materials are in harmony with nature." Wouldn't that be amazing? I truly believe, that biophilic designers can specify this change, and also help scale innovation to make this happen.The global plastics crisis is stark: over 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced annually, with a staggering 99% being fossil-based and 91% never recycled. The plastics industry contributes 3.4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to 1.8 billion tonnes of emissions. Hao Ding, Global Marketing Director at Total Energy Corbion, unveils the potential of Polylactic Acid (PLA) - a bio-based material that could help how architects and designers approach sustainability.PLA stands for Poly Lactic Acid, a bio-based plastic material made from renewable resources like sugarcane or corn. Specifically, as Hao explained in the interview, it's produced through a process of fermenting plant sugars to create lactic acid, which is then polymerised into a plastic-like material. Unlike traditional petroleum-based plastics, PLA is:- Made from renewable resources- Biodegradable- Reduces carbon footprint by up to 75%- Food contact approved- Usable in multiple applications like packaging, 3D printing, textiles, and medical packagingA key difference is that PLA starts from plants that absorb CO2 during growth, whereas conventional plastics are derived from oil pumped from underground. When composted, PLA breaks down completely without leaving persistent microplastics, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastics. PLA can reduce carbon emissions by up to 75% compared to conventional plastics. "PLA can replace most conventional plastics and offer similar performance." Architects and designers can leverage PLA in multiple applications.Design and Construction Applications:1. Furniture packaging materials2. Exhibition and conference temporary structures3. 3D printed decorative objects4. Cavity wall insulation5. Prototype and model making6. Textile and upholstery applicationsEnd-of-Life Solutions:- Mechanical recycling: Melting and repurposing PLA products- Chemical recycling: Low-temperature process breaking down materials- Composting: Complete degradation without microplastic residueI think there is an exciting potential for designers here looking for alternatives to plastics, and it is something that as artists, specifiers, designers we can ask our suppliers to look at for us. Let's help them find alternatives and help scale biobased materials that have the potential to replace plastics in our environment.Hao showcased intricate 3D-printed examples, including life-sized hands holding a bowl and a detailed dragon sculpture, demonstrating PLA's capacity for complex, nature-inspired designs.Recommendations for Architects and Designers:- Explore PLA alternatives in packaging and temporary structures- Consider PLA for decorative and functional objects- Investigate textile and upholstery applications- Prioritise end-of-life solutions in material selectionHao's parting message resonates with hope: "2030 is not far away, and we all have targets to achieve." For architects and designers committed to sustainability, PLA represents an exciting pathway to more environmentally responsible design.To find out more visit: https://totalenergies-corbion.com/biobased/ If you like this, please subscribe!Have you got a copy of the Journal?

What would it be to learn to help other people turn deeply towards their own lives? We've been asking this question in many ways over the past more than seven years, and this week we turn towards a great love of ours, the Thirdspace Professional Coaching Course, which is designed around this very question. This year's course begins in June and applications are coming in. In this rich conversation we talk together about what it is to be an attentive, compassionate and wise support for the development of others, and what it might be like to learn with us over the course of a year. You can find out more about the programme on the Thirdspace website wearethirdspace.org This week's conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace. Episode Overview 00:00 Introduction to the Thirdspace Professional Coaching Course 03:03 The Heart of Integral Development Coaching 05:59 Navigating Life's Interruptions with Creativity and Compassion 08:47 The Role of Community in Learning to Coach 12:03 Coaching is Learning to Turn Towards Life 14:58 The Importance of Belonging and Contribution 17:51 Embracing Creativity and Courage in Difficult Times 21:06 The Journey of Self-Discovery 23:55 Practical Skills for Life and Coaching 27:00 Conclusion and Invitation to Join 30:38 Taking Up Our "Right Size" in the World Here's our source for this week: Coaching and Learning to Coach Every so often in life we pause and make note of the person we have become and the one we are becoming. Sometimes this reflection is prompted by professional circumstances, like a promotion, performance review, job change, or firing. Just as often it emerges from the “rest of life” – as through an illness, death, or the beginning or ending of a relationship. Whatever the origin, these experiences can feel like an opportunity or a burden, a chance to develop or a painful lesson…and often both. How we make sense of these experiences often determines what actions we take, and this, of course, influences our competence and fulfilment in life. Wouldn't it be wonderful, in these moments, to have someone by our side to ask skilful questions, listen deeply, be fully present with who we are and what we say, point out our blind spots, and custom-design practices to help us move forward? And wouldn't it be marvellous, too, to be this person for others? The Professional Coaching Course (PCC) exists in large part due to the primacy of these questions for ourselves and the people we serve. Integral Development Coaching is what happens when two people develop a professional relationship that is grounded in mutual trust and respect, directed toward a set of clear outcomes, guided by presence, and informed by broad models about what it means to be a human being. It is a methodology. It is an integration project. It is a moment when you feel deeply connected to yourself and others, with a deep acceptance of everything, and you take practical steps to move forward in life. It is both simpler and more complex than it sounds. James Flaherty and Amiel Handelsmann From ‘Integrating Rigour, Compassion, and Creative Design - an Introduction to Integral Development Coaching and the PCC' Join Us Live in 2025 On Sunday 8th June 2025 it will be our 400th episode and we are planning a Turning Towards Life live gathering on Zoom.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 4! Peter Tao and his real life partner Helen Lee are the force behind TAO + LEE Associates, Inc. an award winning St. Louis based design firm. They provide Architectural, Planning, Interiors, and Creative Design services for a diversity of project types, sizes & applications. Their projects have been built both domestically and internationally. That alone would have interested us enough to have a conversation with Peter, but he's also heavily involved in the St. Louis community, working to raise awareness of the history and stories of Chinese Americans and the greater Asian Pacific Americans who have lived in Missouri. Inspired to dig deeper to help honor his father's centennial birthday back in 2017, Peter has gone on to write blogs, curate historical artifacts, and contribute to historical documents. One of his latest pieces is an essay entitled "Why Should We, the Chinese, Meet at the Fair?" in the book in the book The Wonder and Complexity of the 1904 World's Fair. His deep dive into family and Chinese American history resulted in him creating his site (and great nickname) The Accidental Historian. On the site, you can find pictures of his family's history as well as posts about a variety of topics including The Life Balance Equation and There Were Chinese in the South? If that wasn't enough, he's still heavily involved in The Missouri Historical Society's St. Louis Chinese American Collecting Initiative that collects pictures and stories of Chinese Americans in St. Louis. You can donate money or contribute artifacts to help! In Part 1, we discuss architecture, how he got into history, things he'd like people to know about Chinese Americans in St. Louis, and more.

Quote from Russ Perry, founder and CEO of Design Pickle “The game for practical SaaS founders really comes down to recognizing that there is a large market size for very boring niche companies. Finding that niche is the fastest path to success. Don't be afraid to be boring and specific. “If I were to do Design Pickle all over again, I would have just picked a vertical niche, like we are the graphic design provider for feline mobile cutting trucks or something. There are easily 10,000 mobile pet grooming businesses in the United States, so probably just cat groomers. “We just went super broad when we started, and it's been fine, but it would have been easier for us to have focused on a niche. When you have such limited resources and time and money and capital, having that narrow niche makes it easier to maximize all those dollars and investments.” Links Russ Perry on LinkedIn Design Pickle on LinkedIn Design Pickle website Colorado River Partners Podcast Sponsor – Full Scale This week's podcast is sponsored by Full Scale, one of the fastest-growing software development companies in any region.

Today, we're joined by the creative and innovative founder of Nopalera, Sandra Lilia Velazquez. Sandra takes us on a journey through a powerful narrative of embracing Chicana identity, to her band Pistolera, to crafting beauty products with the Mexican cactus, the Nopal, that encapsulates Mexican heritage. The Nopal cactus isn't just a plant; it's a testament to the untapped potential within Latino communities, as we, Latinos, know how utilize the entire Nopal: From The pads, which have medicinal purpose in being cooked, to the yummy “tunas” the reddish/purple fruit that grow from the cactus pads that you can eat! But Sandra's mission for Nopalera is clear: to be bold and worthy of luxury. Together, we discuss how we can elevate Latino goods in the marketplace, much like the esteemed European luxury brands, and to ensure these products evoke the respect and value they deserve from consumers. It's about self worth, as we clearly saw in her famous SharkTank episode, and her pivotal start up journey, where the challenges of learning the operational ropes with technology and trademarks, demonstrated her resilience in entrepreneurship. Overall, she presents a passionate appeal to all listeners to support Nopalera's mission, by showing the power of customer advocacy in shaping a brand's success-We need to ask for the products where we shop, such as Ulta and Sephora, the higher end retailers where we see other European beauty and bath products. We belong there too. Sandra's story is one of resilience, identity, and the bold spirit of entrepreneurship to change our narrative.

Sometimes, a collaboration goes beyond creative magic and into the friendship world. Take Emily Positano, for example. The Founder/CEO of Made Better Brands has become not only one of our favorite collaborators (we've created sites for her clients CoLeague and The Channeled Source) but also one of our favorite people. Seriously, folks: she's a gem.As happens with friends, this No Surprises conversation goes way too quickly. But we manage to touch on a range of topics, including the moment Emily knew she wanted to help others, the old-school tactic of leading through fear, the new-school idea of creating a space where there are no bad ideas, and her favorite creative book. Emily also shares how she started her career by wanting to be Jenna Rink in “13 Going on 30,” but ended up as “The Devil Wears Prada” — the Anne Hathaway character, of course. Unfortunately, too many of us can relate. Finally, we answer the burning question: If AI was a dinner guest, how would you react to it?You can find us at weekofthewebsite.comFollow us on Instagram @weekofthewebsiteWatch the full episode on our YouTube Channel

So, naturally, the conclusion was: Let's talk to a Creative Director at a REALLY creative company.This led us straight to James Gregson at Lego. James' work as the Creative Director for LEGO's Social Studio has landed him on AD Week's Creative 100 List and over the course of his career, he's done work for brands that include New Balance, Atari, and Mercedes-Benz. Currently, James is a leader within The LEGO Group's internal creative agency, leading a team of digital content strategists, creative designers, producers, and video editors, responsible for creating best-in-class digital content for LEGO social media channels.And… you know… we didn't want to just hog James all to ourselves, so we opened up a call out on social media for questions… and wow, did they pour in for James - you'll hear those questions in this interview. There's advice for building creativity in remote and hybrid work, how to stay inspired, and what element is at the core of creativity… It's a 100% Creativity-Centered episode.Click here to get your FREE copy of the Imagine a Place journalFollow Imagine a Place on Instagram: @imagineaplaceFollow Imagine a Place on LinkedInLeave Doug a question or comment on SpeakPipe
