Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has had an intense and revealing past week, making headlines with both deeply personal revelations and ongoing speculation about his music and business activities. According to Good Morning America, Bieber posted an emotional and candid Instagram message on June 16th, addressing his ongoing struggles with anger issues and describing himself as feeling "broken." He wrote, "People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?" Bieber went on to explain how his anger is a response to past trauma, stating, "My anger is a response to the pain I have been thru. Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean." In a separate post, he shared direct messages with an unidentified contact, ending the friendship after being accused of lashing out, and insisting that expressing anger is part of authentic relationships, not something to suppress. These posts have sparked a wave of support and concern among fans.On the lighter side, Justin has simultaneously shared glimpses of his family life, posting several photos with his son Jack Blues, whom he shares with wife Hailey Bieber. Celebrating milestones like Hailey's first Mother's Day, Bieber's social media has mixed vulnerability with moments of joy and pride in his new role as a father. Access Hollywood reports that despite his recent emotional confessions, Bieber has also been active in defending himself publicly. Just last week, he was caught on camera in a viral 11-minute confrontation with a paparazzo, where he passionately demanded respect, emphasizing that his anger is a reaction to being disrespected, not a sign of malice.There is ongoing speculation about a major comeback. Hypebeast and Puck News have both reported that Bieber is planning a return to music in 2025, possibly motivated by both creative desire and financial necessity after debts from a cancelled tour. Although his representatives have not confirmed a new album or tour, Rebel Music suggests preparations are underway for a global tour aligned with an upcoming album, which would be his first full project since 2021's Justice. On the business front, Bieber has parted ways with his long-time manager Scooter Braun, indicating a significant transformation in his professional circle, a move confirmed by multiple sources.On social media, Bieber's posts have trended for their candidness, including confessions about conflicts with Hailey—specifically noting past arguments about her career—and his critiques of transactional relationships. His candid admissions, ongoing family updates, and hints at a musical return continue to fuel speculation about his next chapter, underscoring a period of genuine transformation, vulnerability, and perhaps, reinvention for the pop star.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta
Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been at the center of a whirlwind of headlines and behind-the-scenes negotiations this week, with financial drama, personal milestones, and speculation about his musical comeback all making waves. According to TMZ and Reality Tea, Justin has nearly reached a major financial settlement with his longtime former manager Scooter Braun. The roots of their dispute go back to the abrupt cancellation of his Justice World Tour in 2022, which left Bieber indebted to AEG for $26 million. Braun's company, Hybe, stepped in and covered the debt, but Bieber had reportedly failed to fully pay back Hybe as agreed, with an independent PricewaterhouseCoopers audit revealing he still owes Braun $8.6 million in commissions and millions more in other outstanding payments over the years. With his wife Hailey Bieber having recently landed a staggering $1 billion deal for her beauty brand Rhode, sources close to the matter say Bieber has now agreed to settle his debts. TMZ notes the settlement is expected imminently, possibly within days, marking a significant turning point in one of pop music's most lucrative partnerships and putting an end to months of speculation about Bieber's financial status.On the music front, rumors about a 2025 comeback tour continue to swirl, though nothing has been officially confirmed. Rebel Music and Hypebeast have both reported that Bieber has been seen in the studio and that talks of a new album and global tour are gaining traction. However, given his recent focus on health and family—especially following the birth of his son Jack Blues Bieber—there's some skepticism about how quickly he'll take the stage again. Hypebeast points out that his 2022 tour cancellation was for health reasons tied to Ramsay Hunt syndrome, so observers are keenly watching for signs of his readiness to return.Social media has been both a platform for fan concern and a source of viral misinformation. A recent Instagram post by Bieber on June 18, as seen on his official page, hinted at personal frustration but details remain vague, prompting a wave of support and worry from fans. Meanwhile, Myth Detector debunked viral, fabricated quotes about Bieber and rapper P. Diddy circulating on social media, clarifying that Bieber has not commented on Diddy's legal troubles and is instead prioritizing his family life.In summary, Justin Bieber's week has been defined by a high-stakes business settlement with Scooter Braun about to close, ongoing but unconfirmed plans for a musical comeback, intense social media scrutiny, and a strong public focus on his wife and newborn son. These developments could signal a new era for the pop superstar, with the financial resolution and possible return to music both poised to reshape the next chapter of his legacy.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Hemper: Unboxing of Hemper, Classic to Custom, Building a Smokers BusinessIf you've ever wondered what it takes to bring a product like a glass piece or accessory from an idea to the manufacturing line and scale it to 20k+ orders, this episode is for you.Blackleaf is joined in the studio by the young legends behind the Hemper brand, Bryan (founder,) and Thai (lead designer,) to discuss their steady growth alongside the industry for the past decade, their wins vs losses in terms of dropping a new piece and accessories every single month for years, how market demand drove them into taking over the cone industry on a side hustle turned overseas pre-roll empire, and of course, all of the crazy stories in between.For the uninitiated, Hemper is an herb accessory brand known for its high-quality smoking products, including glass b0ngs, rolling trays, and subscription boxes. The company was founded in 2015 with the goal of delivering curated smoking essentials directly to consumers. Hemper collaborates with artists and influencers to create innovative, limited-edition designs that appeal to both casual and experienced smokers. The brand has grown significantly, becoming a go-to source for affordable and stylish smoking accessories.The story of how Bryan essentially graduated from college on the East Coast while simultaneously building the dream team to scale Hemper is one that you truly can't miss. You'll also hear about Thai's background working with Hypebeast and Karmaloop on countless creative endeavors from creative design to music videos and more before Karmaloop's imminent demise and bankruptcy around the time Diddy got involved.A name of interest that comes up in this pod is Rama Mayo, an entrepreneur and visionary known for his significant contributions to the herb and music industries. He co-founded Hall of Flowers, a premier herb trade show, and Green Street, an herb brand agency. Before his ventures with the plant, Mayo spent 15 years in the music industry, working with renowned artists such as Jimmy Eat World, The Hives, and At the Drive-In, and co-founded the record label Big Wheel Recreation. You'll hear about Rama reaching out to Bryan only 15 months into the business running, insisting they come to Los Angeles to live in the same building as him and run their operation at the Green Street building. Bryan divulges crazy stories surrounding their time at Green Street and running with Rama, meeting essentially every key player in the LA scene pre-2020. One of the biggest topics of conversation in this episode is easily product manufacturing and merchandising. Thai and Bryan weigh in on a number of topics surrounding deciding which glass pieces and accessories to mass produce in the thousands to tens of thousands, doing all their CAD design in-house, which ideas are even worth pursuing, and what goes into developing a full product line for an MSO. The true gem of this pod is when Bryan and Thai talk about their cone side business that's driven them to set up shop in India. Getting in during a cone shortage around 2017-18, they were able to rapidly scale their factories overseas to now own and operate over a dozen. Bryan will divulge exactly how they were able to meet crazy demand in the millions and presently produce around 30-40% of the world's pre-roll cones.Any aspiring entrepreneur who loves the plant should sit down for this inspirational episode about how you can build massive empires in this industry without ever having to grow, trim, or cure anything.Subscribe to our channel and the FSOTD.com site to keep up with other key players and enjoy conversations with trailblazers from the culture you can't find anywhere else.

This growth was strategically achieved through consistent effort, genuine hustle, and the viral spread of their hashtags, demonstrating the movement's widespread influence across various demographics and lifestyles.Alex Quin further elaborates on the tactical approach that amplified their brand engagement: the creation of custom GIFs and stickers. By integrating these animated visuals into everyday digital communications on platforms such as iMessage, Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, Hustle Inspires Hustle tapped into a broader audience, making their brand a regular part of their followers' conversations. This strategy not only expanded their reach but also cemented their presence in the digital space, allowing them to organically spread their message.Quin emphasizes the importance of consistency, passion, and a clear message in brand building, alongside innovative social media engagement tools like GIFs and stickers.

My guest is Herbert Lui. I brought him on the podcast to talk about the creative process and developing a creative habit. There is no one-size-fits all approach but there are common frameworks that everyone can follow. We cover a lot of topics including the four-step creative process, capturing ideas, quality vs quantity, and promoting your own work. We also dive deep into the inner working of his note-taking process that was inspired by Ryan Holiday. Herbert has a very organized chaotic process which I can relate to and I'm sure many of you. If you can take one idea or tactic to apply to your own process then this will be worth you time. GUEST Herbert is the author of Creative Doing which is a collection of exercises, mental models, and true stories from artists to help you find your own unique creative process. He is a writer an an editorial director. His editorial studio Wonder Shuttle works with companies such as Shopify, Twilio, and Skillshare, which is where I originally met him.

It's fashion month again and the big brands with the big budgets dominate our feeds. But amidst the commercial noise of the contemporary fashion circus, independent gems still exist. There are true artists who go their own way, and often set the future trend agenda (although they tend not to get the credit). Our guest this week is one of them. He's been shaking up the London underground scene since the ‘90s. Meet Dr NOKI, the original upcycler. Just don't call him that…NOKI does fashion on his own terms, including the language he prefers to describe his work. He “custom-builds” his “mashups” and “landfill drops”. It's a practice that owes at debt to dadaism, and made sense of his dyslexia when he was young. The story reaches to back into the ‘90s club scene, through the culture jamming of the No Logo years to end up at the cutting edge where art and fashion collide today.Now, a new generation that's interested in sustainability is discovering him for the first time. Last year, Hypebeast heralded NOKI as “a tried and true member of the sustainability movement — arguably being a founder of the word before it even really became a thing.”But does he relate to that? How does he see his work? What inspired it all back in ‘90s London's rave scene? And how does he see the future for fashion's young waste warrior disruptors? Part fashion history lesson, part provocation to challenge our consumerist culture, this one's an adventure - enjoy!Check out the shownotes on wardrobecrisis.comCan you help us spread the word about Series 9?

Today's guest, Telsha Anderson-Boone, knew pretty early on in her career that she wanted to be her own boss and that fashion would play a major factor. While figuring out what that business would be, Telsha worked just about everywhere from Hypebeast to Food and Wine, and even stopping at Atlantic Records for a stint. While she was tapped into the world culturally, all that would go into creating T.A. In 2020, Telsha had plans to open the T.A. brick-and-mortar shop, but like most plans in 2020, covid changed everything. But let's hear her tell it.
