Our mission here is to help kids increase their awareness of a difficult issue but without causing nightmares. In the intro, we do go as far as to say that the Nazis killed six million Jews – because to ignore or deny that only helps Nazis. After that, we play safe. But, yes, this episode may be more relevant to older kids more than the 5-year-olds (who should definitely check out our first 19 episodes, at least – James was only 6 when we started recording material!). And if you want to know why a Jewish boy wanted to join Hitler’s youth group, listen until the very end! Read industry reviews of Dad’s new World War II Asia-Pacific novel, The Slightest Chance, at paulletters.com. It’s now out on Kindle for US$6.99, as well as in paperback.

LISTEN HERE Here are some questions based on today’s episode: 1.      When was Andy Factor born? 2.      When did Hitler and the Nazis take over Germany? 3.      What does ‘propaganda’ mean? 4.      Who was Andy separated from at school? 5.      What did Andy’s teacher do to Andy in front of the class? 6.      Only, about 500,000 Jews lived in Germany, so how were the Nazis able to capture millions of Jewish people?

Many of our favorite businesses were built out of someone loving something and then figuring out how to make it better. Yvon Chouinard created Patagonia because he loved rock climbing, hiking, and being outdoors.  Everything else stemmed from that. Ben & Jerry loved ice cream, Jake Carpenter of Burton snowboards just wanted to find the perfect ride.  There are lots of reasons for someone to start a business but loving something and then working to make it better is one of the most fulfilling.  If you own a business, why did you start yours?  What do your love and how are you making it better?  The answers can drive you and frame the direction you go in the future. Our guest today loves music.  Specifically, early 90’s grunge and all of the many steps in it’s evolution into modern Indie Rock.  The way he found to make it better was to start a small record label.  To find artists he loved and help spread their music to as many people as possible.  Ben Swanson built Secretly Canadian based on a search for the right sound.  Now he helps hundreds of artists around the world record, brand, and share their music with as many ears as possible. We’re glad you joined us! Listen Here: Here are some highlights: What childhood memories led Ben to starting­­­­­­­­ Secretly? (1:59) Ben grew up with his older brother Chris in Fargo, North Dakota.  His dad and his uncle built a vitamin supplement business from their garage.  Ben remembers his dad in the garage pouring powder into tiny capsules by hand.  That company is now Swanson Health Products one of the largest vitamin suppliers in the world. Ben’s dad loved music and he would take them to shows sometimes.  Fargo happened to be a stop over for bands as they traveled to the Northwest so they had the chance to see a lot of shows.  In the late 80’s early 90’s, Ben was a teenager and was able to see tons of the bands that seeded the Seattle grunge explosion of the early 90’s. He started collecting albums and paying attention to the music that certain labels put out. Eventually, his brother Chris moved to Bloomington IN for college.  Ben followed two years later and they decided it would be fun to try and start their own music label. They dug into the explosion of independent music but also loved the catalogs of labels like K Records and Discord. They finally started to figure out how to physically make records and cassettes.  Then they would go to shows of musicians they loved and see if the musician would let them be the ones to manufacture and market the album.  Their first taker was June Panic and then Songs: Ohia followed. How do you attract artists? (11:07) For Ben, it’s all about just being a fan first.  Artists tend to want people surrounding them that understand and get what they’re doing.  Ben has always just approached it that way. What’s the story behind the name Secretly Canadian? (14:05) Being from Fargo, North Dakota Ben had a connection with Canada.  They really loved and connected with a ton of Canadian talent, from music to comedy and beyond.  They started joking around about the fact that all good things must be secretly Canadian.  What’s it’s like to work with your brother? (15:35) There are definitely pros and cons.  The hard part is getting over the big brother little brother stuff.  Ben happens to be the little brother.  One positive is the short-hands that they speak.  They can get really heated and then get over it and move on.  Sometimes that would devolve into wrestling.  One of Ben’s favorite moments is when he finally won one of those wrestling matches. What does Secretly look like today? (18:18) They are a global music company.  They’re a record label, the Master side helping artist to write and pitch the music they create, physical and digital distribution throughout the world, an artist management service, and a vinyl plant. What kind of artist is an ideal client? (21:13) Incredible musician, incredible artist, smart person, sells a few records.  The bottom line is that Ben wants to love the artists music.  It can work out from there. Secretly represents Indy music artists primarily but they dig into tons of genres. What are traits of successful and unsuccessful artists? (23:35) Bands can really easily get in their bubble.  The good ones are able to connect with others.  Other artists, other industry folks, whoever will listen.  You have to reach out and build relationships.  The more you can get to know people and the industry the better you’ll do. How does it feel to own a multi-national business? Weird. What is similar and different between you and Richard Branson? Ben really likes how fearless Richard is.  He gets into a lot of different spaces, builds a lot of brands, and is always ready to grow.  That’s a similarity. Richard Branson is a totally outgoing guy with tons of other people running the show.  Ben is simply a part of the team.  His hands are on most things in a way that certainly is different than Virgin Records. A book we should totally read? The 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss An artist that we should listen to? Serpent with Feet What are the key types of people musicians should connect with? Other artists are the low hanging fruit.  Connecting with an established artist or two is the key.  Labels like Secretly hear about new artists all the time from their existing artists. What’s Secretly look like in 5 years? Not necessarily bigger, but more streamlined.  Finding ways to sta­­­­y interested by chasing new ideas but not getting too sidetracked from the core mission. Special thanks to Ben Swanson for taking the time to share the Secretly Canadian story with us. The show was produced and edited by me Jeremy Goodrich. The music is by my high school buddy Mark VInten and Secretly group artists June Panic, Songs: Ohia, Bon Iver and Serpent with Feet.

Us humans, we have all these labels for people, right.Us humans, we have all these labels for people, right.Some are mean like calling someone a nerd or a moron.  Some are self-applied like goth or grunge.  Some clearly state a specific spiritual philosophy like Christian or Pagan. Some are about ancestry, others skin color, still others define the generation you were born.  We use these words as a way to categorize traits or behaviors and all of it is a way for our brains to create boundaries.  Wars are fought, rallies are held, weddings are arranged, all in the name of these boxes we create.  When it comes to business, the words that create our box, our brand are important too.  We can incite love or hate, connection or ambiguity just by our choice of label, the words and actions that define us.Our guest today is in the business of creating these connections through stories that building better brands.  Labels that describe him would be extrovert, connector,  describer, storyteller.  Dmitri Vietze has been building brands for decades.  His business Rock Paper Scissors helps musicians, tech companies, and entrepreneurs of all kinds tell their story.  In this episode, he’ll tell his.We’re glad you joined us!Listen Here:Here are some highlights:What childhood memories led Dmitri to start a marketing business? (2:45)Dmiti was born in Nashville, TN and lived there for the first decade of his life. His family then moved to Queens New York in the 1980’s.  He spent his high school  years there attending the New York City school for Music and the Arts (the high school from the FAME TV show).  Dmitri was heavily involved in activism there speaking out against racism and cultural inequity.  His activism involved a ton of public speaking, marketing, and sharing the story of the inequity he saw.  After high school, he got a scholarship to attend the liberal arts college Antioch College with a focus on activism.What’s the origin story of Rock Paper Scissors? (4:10)At Antioch, Dmitri really drove towards the business maragement side of things.  He still felt powerful about activism but he wanted to find a way to connect it with building a business.  After college he took a job in Portland, OR.  He started digging deep into the root of the music he loves.  80’s progressive hip hop used a ton of jazz samples so Dmitri started listening to more of that.  That led to a love of African roots, afro-beats, and world music in general.  Eventually, a record distributer asked him to use that knowledge to do PR work for their global clients.  After doing that for a while he decided he wanted to pick his own jobs.  In 1999, Rock Paper Scissors was born.Dmitri is known for wearing vibrant colorful clothing.  Where does that choice come from? (11:45)Bright colorful cloths have been a think for Dmitri since he was a kid.  He’s always just felt like it represented him and nis personality.  As a business owner, he realized that people were noticing it and the bright clothes really proceeded him into business conversations.  The work he does is creative, fun, and colorful.  He wanted that to be represented in the visual palette people saw when he entered their space.How has the music industry changed in the time you’ve been connected with it? (13:45)The 90’s was really to boom of record sales and that feel off when online streaming of music became a thing.  As physical record sales dropped, live music took more of a center stage.  Huge festivals have been a thing and continue to bring in big bucks while offering artists of all sizes the opportunity to connect.  The club scene has grown as well.  In addition, digital sales have become more streamlined and paid for.  Napster offered music for free, really hurting musicians, but iTunes, Spotify and other streaming mechanisms have monetized music in a way that ultimately help musicians.­ Another trend is that more and more musicians are publishing.  Recording music and videos is easier which is great but it also means there’s a ton of competition.  The best thing to do is just kep producing and marketing the music you create.How has Rock Paper Scissors Evolved? (21:55)Dmitri loves technology.  Rock Paper Scissors developed a ton of tech to support their PR work.  He realized that he could apply his systems not only to World Music but also to tech companies, and all kinds of other entrepreneurs.  The stories are very much the same.How can businesses tell their own stories? (39:00)  Don’t use cliché terminology.  Start with the origin story and build from there  Have someone else interview you and discover your own answers. Get that outside perspective  Figure out what truly makes you unique­­­  Focus your story around a human. Give your listener someone to connect the story withRock Paper Scissors has focused on technology for music public relations but now you're serving pure tech companies as well.  How do they connect? (21:55)Healthy tech brands tend to have four concepts at their heart: Equity, Transparency, Innovation, Networking & Research. This really isn't any different than the musicians we've always worked with.  It seemed like an obvious fit so we connected with some tech brands and the results have been great.How has Rock Paper Scissors Evolved? (37:00)Dmitri wants to grow into the pure Tech PR business and he wants to continue using Storyfinding methods where the masses are telling the story of the business in a way that’s decentralize from the business itself.Mentioned in the episode:  Fela Koti – Afro Beats artist  Napster  iTunes  CD Baby – “The onramp to the music industry”  Paren Lamb – Indy Coffee House Playlist  DIY Musician Conference  Jack Conte - Pomplamoose & Patreon  Storyamp – Automated music marketing platform  DeveloperTown – “Software is eating the world”  The Innovators Dilemma & The Innovators DNA by Clayton Christensen  Edelman Trust BarometerSpecial thanks to Dmitri Vietze for taking the time to share the Rock Paper Scissors story with us.The show was produced and edited by me Jeremy Goodrich.

In college we would get together most Friday nights and play music to the wee hours of the morning..  Here’s the thing though.  He lived in a tiny apartment with about 200 neighbors.  We had a drum set, amplifiers, and we loved to turn it up.  Kind of can’t believe that the cops only showed up twice.
