Götz Offergeld kennen viele als den Herausgeber von Numero Berlin und Fräulein, den Gründer von Off Ones Rocker, aber auch als Creative Director für Kampagnen und Shoots für diverse High Fashion und Luxus-Marken. Ich hab ihn aber ganz anders kennengelernt, vor etwa drei Jahren, als er das erste Mal im Podcast war und da sehr ehrlich über seine wirklich nicht ganz einfache Vergangenheit gesprochen hat – das war in Folge 70. Das zweite Mal war er dann erst letztes Jahr mit dabei, da ging es dann viel um die Verletzlichkeit, die er in der Zwischenzeit kennengelernt hat – in Folge 157. Und vor ein paar Monaten rief er mich an und sagte mir, er würde gerne über Liebe sprechen – und wie könnte ich dazu nein sagen?

A lot of nonprofits rely on mass messages and templated outreach that make donors feel like just another transaction. People want to feel like their support means something, not like they're being hit up for cash on autopilot. When there's no real connection, even well-meaning appeals fall flat. But when a supporter feels seen and valued, everything shifts—the relationship becomes real, and the impact grows with it. John Lepp is a direct response marketing and design expert with 25+ years of experience helping charities connect with donors. As a partner at Agents of Good and author of Creative Deviations, he focuses on creative, heartfelt fundraising strategies. Today, he highlights the importance of recognizing donors—especially older women—and crafting emotionally resonant, personalized campaigns. Stay tuned!

The Stories – “The first dress that I ever draped was the dress that got on the cover of Women's Wear Daily, for my first collection. That was life changing. It was a dress that Zoe Saldaña wore. It was also the version of a dress that I made for Oprah for her magazine cover. The dress that Michelle Obama wore to a White House Correspondents' Dinner changed my trajectory.”The Backstory – "It was at Bill Blass that I did my Phd; my Masters." “I grew up in a household where we could talk about fashion, love, music, dance – everything – at the dinner table. Nothing was off limits. And when I came to America, especially in the fashion world, when I would ask questions, people would say, ‘No, I don't want to talk about that.' I was shocked.” “You have to figure out what is happening around you, and survive it. In order for me to survive and really live my dreams, I had to be my own cheerleader. I allowed myself to feel things, but then also to move on.”Wisdom Rains –  “'Too much' and 'too little' are words that have been hurled at me ever since I was little and I've learned to brush it off.” “I've learned that you can't please everyone, all of the time.” “If you're living your life as part of a marginalized group, you're in constant fight-or-flight mode and you don't even realize it. Then that gets amplified with what's happening politically, culturally.” “In watching my mother I realized that elegance isn't a posture; it's a practice.” “Early on, I learned that I was never going to get any validation, I was seen as a ‘cautionary tale'; and what that did was, it freed me from ever needing any.” “I think it's very important for all of us to live in the world exploring what we want to do in life, and having that encompass joy, purpose, and impact.”On Inspo – “My mother is my blueprint for strength.”On Writing His Memoir – “Editing down was really challenging. I made sure that it was done with grace. This is not a salacious, take-down book. That's not my being. I wanted to tell a story. While writing, it was really challenging to relive things. But it was also cathartic.”On The Fashion Industry – "What I love about the fashion industry, which often doesn't get shared, is the camaraderie that we have. There's a genuine sense of support and understanding amongst all the creatives and entrepreneurs. It's not easy. It might look fabulous and wonderful, but the hard work is real hard work. I always say five percent of it is glamour, the rest is sheer hard work.”On Anna Wintour – “I know she can be polarizing, but the industry is better because of her.”On Cynthia Rowley – “She had an independent brand and she worked really hard. What I really loved about her, and I'm inspired by her constantly, is that even in the hardest times she was always joyful. She was always optimistic.”What Else – “Towards that time, we started the foundation and that's where I would say everything shifted for me. We started with twelve girls, and we've gone to more than three hundred children. These are streetworker's children; inmates' children; these are children who have no access to education and a livelihood”Obsixed – A collection of Prabal's current lifestyle obsessions.Discover more + Shop The Podcast:parabalgurung.comWalk Like A Girl by Prabal GurungPrabal Gurung Polka Dot Brocade Flounce MinidressProem Eau de Parfum by U BeautyTracie Martyn SpaPrabal Gurung: Style and Beauty with a BitePride and Prejudice by Jane AustenDiscover the episode and more on storyandrain.comfollow @storyandraintalks and @storyandrain on Instagram follow @storyandraintalks and @storyandrain on Threadsall about the host

Ian and I discuss Pump Up the Volume, starring Christian Slater as a high schooler who moonlights as an underground radio personality, he's a voice for the students and somebody they relate to, even look up to. We also talk about Generation X, the punk ethos, and old school media.-After over 15 years building his career in the New York City design community, Ian Smile chased his dreams of designing skateboards, following the sunset west for the skateparks and beaches of Southern California. He was welcomed into the skate world by some of his childhood heroes and has since proudly held the position of Creative Director for both the Skateboarding Hall of Fame and CSEF College Skateboarding. https://www.threads.com/@endasheshttps://www.instagram.com/endashes/-Pump Up the Volume (1990)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100436/ https://www.theringer.com/2020/08/21/movies/making-of-pump-up-the-volume-30th-anniversary-christian-slater https://www.rogerebert.com/features/the-needle-drop-sessions-pump-up-the-volume-and-untamed-heart https://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2020/08/pump-up-the-volume-still-reverberates-30-years-later/ https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/christian-slater-dirty-john-mr-robot-pump-up-the-volume-1234707369/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soupy_Sales -Other movies and shows discussed, alphabetical listClerks (1994)The Crow (1994)Dazed and Confused (1993)Do the Right Thing (1989)Dune (1984, 2021, 2024)The Fisher King (1991)Gleaming the Cube (1989)The Legend of Billie Jean (1985)Network (1976)One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)Singles (1992)Slacker (1990)Sneakers (1992)Stand by Me (1986)Talk Radio (1988)Turk 182 (1985)Vanishing Point (1971)WarGames (1983)

Have you ever wondered how the “Got Milk?” campaign was started or what it was like to work with the celebrities and the celebrity photographers who helped make the campaign? Well, Bernie Hogya can tell you all about it because he was there from the beginning, all the way to the last frame. And that campaign reversed a 30-year decline in milk sales and became a pop culture phenomenon. In his career, he has worked with celebrities like Taylor Swift, Elton John, Van Halen, Tom Brady, Steven Tyler, Harrison Ford, The Rock and so many more. He also worked with photographers like Annie Liebowitz, Richard Avedon, David LaChapelle, Herb Ritz, and more. Bernie is one of the elites when it comes to being an Art Director and Creative Director in Advertising. Led creative on The Foundation For A Better Life, cited by the OAAA as “The most successful public service campaign in the history of outdoor advertising.” We discuss his band in High School being the first Kiss tribute band ever, how he started out working at Marvel Comics and hid names of friends in the pages of the comic books, what it took to get Annie Liebowitz to agree to be the first “Got Milk?” photographer and what her process is like for a shoot. He also has some great advice for up-and-coming art directors, or anybody really, and we talk about what he's doing now, plus so, so much more. There are some really great stories and behind the scenes information in this episode.So take a listen and let me know what you think.Be sure to Like it, Share, Subscribe and Comment!

In this conversation we speak to director, Margot Bowman. We discuss her love for animation, her approach to documentary and why club culture sits at the heart of everything she does.This episode is sponsored by the Gate+ and produced by Jack Kirkwood Hosted by directors, Craig Bingham and Ozzie Pullin.Born and raised in London, Margot Bowman uses the medium of film in all its forms, as a creative vehicle for telling powerful human stories, centred on emotional truths.Margot's visually striking work is textured with thoughtful animation, CGI or archive that's woven amongst her poetic live-action. This medium-agnostic approach to storytelling creates a rich visual language that reframes the familiar so that audiences connect with the story at hand in new and original ways.Growing up in Camden, Margot is consistently inspired by her home city's legacy of club culture, creativity, freedom of expression and community. Formerly the Creative Director of Boiler Room, she has since directed commercials for major clients including Nike, Dr Martens, Carhartt, Space NK and Byredo, with narrative and documentary commissions from the likes of Channel 4, The Tate, Dazed and NOWNESS.Most recently, she co-directed Amazon Prime's highly anticipated documentary feature The Tour, a 90-minute film about the relaunch of Victoria's Secret's iconic fashion show, reimagined through the lens of 20 diverse female artists from around the world.Her documentary Coming Home premiered at SXSW 2022, was awarded Best Short at the prestigious Palestine Cinema Days, and was shortlisted for the International Documentary Association's films of the year. These powerful experiences in documentary are built off her natural ability to connect with people and bring their stories to screen with intimacy and style.Moving forward, Margot is intent on creating storytelling-driven work that sits at the heart of the cultural conversation. Her diverse creative background and innate understanding of the zeitgeist, accelerates her lyrical storytelling to create work that is contemporary, informative and delivered to audiences in a rich visual world that resonates in pop culture and beyond.

Marco Polo CEO, Vlada Borthnik, almost said no to being on our podcast. It wasn't that she wasn't a fan of AnitaB.org or didn't believe in its mission, it was that we'd asked her to talk about failure… and Vlada almost totally rejects the notion of “failure” on principle. Instead, Vlada advocates for throwing away the binary lens of “success” and “failure” and instead to reframe things as experiments and their outcomes.  Because even when the outcome isn't what you'd hoped for, you can still learn from it. And maybe that learning will set you up for a different outcome next time. Fortunately for us, Vlada came around. In this episode, she talks to Brenda about why she feels so strongly that it's time for us all to stop fearing failure and embrace the idea it's all about experimentation and learning from outcomes - whether they're good or bad. Vlada also shares how the challenges of coming to the US as a refuge when she was 11 set her up for her future as an entrepreneur, why you should worry less about communication at work being messy, and focus instead on making sure you have systems in place to clean those messes up, and how Marco Polo's culture of constant experimentation has led to its success. Plus, Brenda's top three takeaways from the conversion. For more, check out Vlada...

Today, I'm thrilled to sit down once again with the legendary Mary Randolph Carter—better known simply as Carter. She's a long time Creative Director at Ralph Lauren, an author of ten on all things collecting books, and a lifelong champion of the beauty in imperfection. In our last conversation, we explored her passion for what she lovingly calls “junk”—objects with history, personality, and a story to tell. This time, we dive even deeper, discussing her newest book, Live With The Things You Love and You'll Live Happily Ever After, which celebrates the art of surrounding yourself with meaningful objects and the way they shape our homes, our memories, and even our identities.We talk about her philosophy on collecting, the emotional weight we attach to objects, and the unexpected ways people incorporate their collections into their lives.

Mr. Ridenour introduces his new book "A Season of Madness: Fools, Monsters, and Marvels of the Old-World Carnival," explaining how the project grew out of his research for "The Krampus and the Old, Dark Christmas."  In this episode, he sketches out chapter themes and topics, from ancient Rome to modern Bulgaria, focusing particularly on cultural hinterlands where festivities still echo the cruel realities of the old, agricultural world and where medieval Christianity intertwines with pagan practice. The Carnival portrayed is at once beautiful, strange, and savage. Spring is welcomed by clowns waving inflated pig bladders. Stalking sheepskin monsters brandish clubs bristling with hedgehog spines, and plows are dragged over cobblestone streets by celebrants wearing masks painted with cow's blood. Folk horror fans take heart as the Old World welcomes Spring! Available now for pre-order.  US Publication date, May 6, 20205. A few advance reviews of the book: "Sumptuously illustrated and written with clarity, eloquence, and wry humor, "A Season of Madness" is one of those rare books that can pass muster as an academic study yet also provide a good read. Al Ridenour's meticulous research exposes the subtleties and outrageous quirks of a topic you didn't know you wanted to learn about until you picked up his book. Under his direction, the madness once again reigns, as the neglected history of European Carnival is placed center stage before the reader, in all its seedy, wild, and triumphant glory." —Dr. Paul Koudounaris, author and photographer of: "Faithful unto Death," "Heavenly Bodies," and "Empire of Death" "A Season of Madness" is a fantastic carnival of a book. Equal parts irreverent and erudite, it lovingly captures the depth, complexity, and subversive nature of the carnival, from its ancient roots to modern expression. Gorgeously illustrated, intellectually hefty, and also fun, it is a seductive introduction to the material cultures, legends, and history of this perennially fascinating and slippery subject." —Joanna Ebenstein, Founder and Creative Director of Morbid Anatomy

Your breath is intimately linked with every aspect of your health – from how you respond to stress to how efficiently your body burns fat. While most of us breathe over 20,000 times a day, few of us pay attention to this automatic process. But it may hold the key to transforming our physical and mental wellbeing. Today's returning guest is the wonderful Brian Mackenzie, Founder & Creative Director of SHIFT, President of The Health and Human Performance Foundation and a world renowned human performance specialist who combines breathing techniques, movement practices, and stress adaptation training to enhance physical and mental performance.    His methods have been used by Olympic athletes, professional sports teams and military special forces and Brian's work has undergone rigorous scientific testing at institutions including Stanford University School of Medicine and San Francisco State University. He is also the author of several books including, Unbreakable Runner, Power Speed Endurance and Unplugged. In this fascinating conversation, we explore: Why breathing is "the remote control to the nervous system" and how becoming aware of our breath patterns can help us instantly regulate our stress responses  The relationship between the way that we breathe and our ability to burn fat The "Five Gear Breathing System" that matches our breathing technique to different activity levels, from relaxed walking to high-intensity exercise Why nasal breathing (while beneficial at rest and low intensities) might limit our performance and oxygen use during higher-intensity activities How a simple daily 45-minute walk with nasal breathing can transform our metabolism, stress resilience and mental clarity The three-stage stress response cycle and how breathwork provides a practical tool to interrupt our automatic reactions to daily triggers Why Brian believes finding joy in mundane tasks like washing dishes is possible when we focus on the process rather than constantly chasing outcomes Practical techniques to establish healthier boundaries with work, technology and stress – including Brian's approach to shutting off work by 4-5 pm and using red light in the evenings to improve sleep Brian is a remarkable individual, with an enviable track record of transforming the wellbeing and performance of a wide range of individuals, and this conversation is full of practical insights that you can utilise immediately to improve your health, performance and the overall quality of your life.
