Isaac Larian is the founder and CEO of MGA Entertainment, the company behind Bratz, L.O.L. Surprise!, Little Tikes, and dozens of other iconic toy brands. But long before he built one of the largest private toy companies in the world, Isaac was a Jewish kid growing up in Tehran, where he faced antisemitism, bullying, and poverty. After arriving in America alone at 17 with just $753 in his pocket, Isaac worked the graveyard shift washing dishes while putting himself through college. He later built a successful electronics distribution business, became one of Nintendo's largest distributors, and eventually shifted into toys, where he created some of the most successful doll brands of the last two decades. In 2026, Isaac was inducted into the Toy Industry Hall of Fame in recognition of his transformative impact on the industry and his role in creating global brands including Bratz and L.O.L. Surprise!.In this episode of Big Shot, Harley Finkelstein and David Segal sit down with Isaac to discuss the experiences that shaped his relentless drive, the lessons he learned from failure, and the persistence that helped him build MGA Entertainment. They talk about his years in electronics, how he broke into Nintendo, why getting cut off led him into licensing, the creation of Bratz, the battle with Mattel, and why he believes fortune favors the bold.—In This Episode We Cover:(00:00) Intro(02:43) How Isaac's childhood experiences with antisemitism and poverty in Iran shaped him(14:27) Arriving in America at 17 with $753 and getting his first job(19:40) Why the survival instinct never leaves him(24:44) Why he studied civil engineering (27:05) How he got into mail order and shifted to electronics(36:58) How he learned to be a good storyteller (39:50) Becoming a distributor for Nintendo (49:53) Why he got cut out of Nintendo and shifted into licensing (53:45) Getting into the doll business (57:08) The creation of Bratz(1:02:46) Going all in on Bratz(1:05:50) The battle with Mattel and the toll it took on Isaac(1:13:23) How he built lasting business relationships(1:16:20) The case for crying as a show of strength (1:17:01) Why he loves his work and his advice for the next generation—Where To Find Isaac Larian:X: https://x.com/realIsaacLarianWebsite: https://www.mgae.comWhere To Find Big Shot: • Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bigshot.show/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@bigshotpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  • TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@bigshotshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/bigshotshow/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  • Harley Finkelstein: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/harleyf⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • David Segal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/tea_maverick⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• Production and Marketing: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://penname.co⁠

No episódio de hoje, junte-se a nós, Vinicius Santana, João Victor e Dan, para um papo que caminha por águas perigosas, mas muito necessárias: o momento em que a gente escolhe falar mal daquilo que ama.Nós, colecionadores, adoramos exaltar nossas bonecas, mas o que acontece quando a dona Mattel erra a mão? Entre croquis deslumbrantes que viram um "banho de água fria" na execução, tecidos que deixam a desejar e comentários silenciados nas redes sociais, a gente debate o limite entre o *shade* deliberado e a crítica madura de quem sabe o valor do próprio dinheiro.Será que a empresa ainda ouve a comunidade ou só reage quando dói no bolso? A inteligência artificial vai engolir o espaço dos grandes designers? E como criar memória afetiva nas novas gerações com as entregas atuais?Do colecionador de vitrine ao que ama o *re-styling*, a gente conversa sobre a nossa bolha e faz a pergunta de milhões: qual boneca da história merecia uma segunda chance para ser lançada com a qualidade que realmente correspondia ao nosso sonho?No fim das contas, criticar também é uma forma de cuidado.A gente fala mal… mas fala por amor.Porque a gente sabe a magnitude que a Barbie tem, e o quanto o nosso hobby merece ser honrado.

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; we have another Segment for The Team - this round featuring the arch Enemy of the M.A.S.K. Heroes - Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem - V.E.N.O.M.! We take into effect their Appearances, their Mask's Capabilities & but not limited to; even pulling from their Stats. The usual run-down of: Leader, Muscle, Specialist, Wheelman & of course Vehicle! This was a fun one. Who would you have picked?!? Then Trent flips through the Magazine Pages of old ToyFare issues - in our repeat "From The Vault" segment. This round it focuses on Predictions (from the early 2000's) with us trying to guess what direction the articles where trying to go in. Plus another Fun article focused around the "Dirty Little Secrets" surrounding our beloved: Masters Of The Universe property. How many do we know? How many did you know?

I'm back from the Underground Film Festival in Orlando, fresh from wining best feature script and I'm ready to talk about He-Man! Masters of the Universe is the best movie no one is watching in the theaters and I'm ready to talk about it. After Mattel missed the opportunity to make Star Wars  toys, they were ready to try something fresh (well, kinda). The toys were a massive success, as well as the cartoon, which all quickly fell apart. Smash cut to 40 years later, Mattel is hot off of their success with Barbie and are ready to try another toy. Sadly, this one doesn't have the same momentum.  After listening to the pod, check out the blog at www.ClassicAmericanMovies.com ! If you think listening to me talk about movies is great, wait till you read my reviews.  This episode is brought to you by LiQure Gummies.

So much good stuff this time around. Hasbro Fanstreams continue to be amazing, including never-before-seen product for once. How about those Classified Fatal Fluffies? Star Wars didn't disappoint either, at least for me, with those Remnant Snowtroopers. While I might already have them, the Deluxe Insecticon 3-Pack is simply beautiful. MOTU absolutely kills it with their latest Origins 200x wave. Including not only my favorite Evil Warrior, Trap Jaw, but also focus characters from my childhood, Sy-Klone and Man-E-Faces.

⚔️ Pel poder de Grayskull! ⚔️ Avui ens endinsem a Eternia per parlar de #MastersOfTheUniverse, la nova adaptació cinematogràfica dirigida per Travis Knight. Repassem com van sorgir les joguines de Mattel, les diferents adaptacions per al cinema i la televisió, i fem un recorregut pels gairebé vint anys de desenvolupament que ha viscut aquesta producció abans d'arribar finalment a la gran pantalla. Tot seguit, en el minut 22, entrem de ple en la crítica de la pel·lícula. Analitzem la interpretació més humana i vulnerable de Nicolas Galitzine com a Adam/He-Man, l'excel·lent treball de Jared Leto com a Skeletor, així com les aportacions de Camila Mendes com a Teela, Idris Elba com a Man-At-Arms i la resta del repartiment. També comentem l'humor, el respecte pel material original, la fidelitat visual als personatges clàssics i la magnífica banda sonora de Daniel Pemberton. Finalment, a 1 h i 3 min, entrem en terreny amb espòilers per analitzar la pel·lícula en profunditat, descobrir algunes de les seves referències, homenatges i curiositats, comentar la seva espectacular posada en escena i valorar un final carregat d'emoció que farà les delícies dels seguidors de tota la vida.

It's Life in the Fast Lane -- or is it the Slow Lane? -- because "slow is fine" after all, according to Vin Diesel. Anyway... We kick things off with the Tokyo Drift Minute, where we learn all about Paw Man and wonder why Sean isn't thrown out of the bath house in his towel. We then Run the VIN and get the first classic Vin post in more than two months, where we get a big update: "Several works in progress. Riddick. Kaulder with Sir Michael. Rock ‘em Sock ‘em… went personal on this one, but Mattel loves it. Theo, my homage to New York, the city that made me. The Arbor King. Some say Groot is Disney's most valuable asset." You said it, Vin! 2 Fast 2 Furious is in the Criterion Closet! (Thanks, Jason.) But... is Vin Diesel? Joe offers helpful life advice to improve your bath routine and talks about his hunt for New England's best cinnamon roll. We talk about Backrooms, Widow's Bay, Margot's Got Money Troubles (no spoilers for any). Joey talks about the Radiohead Motion Picture House and Phoebe Bridgers' $1 concert.

After nearly two decades of development hell across Warner Bros., Sony, and Netflix, the film finally landed on Amazon Studios—but does Masters of the Universe live up to the hype and legacy?This week on The Commentary Booth, host Jamie Apps is joined by Todd Eastman to dive deep into Amazon's ambitious live-action adaptation of the iconic Mattel franchise. Whether you're a lifelong He-Man fan who grew up with the original 1980s cartoon or someone discovering Eternia for the very first time, this episode breaks down everything you need to know about one of 2026's most surprising blockbuster releases.Todd brings decades of nostalgia and firsthand memories of growing up with He-Man, Battle Cat, Skeletor and the original toy line, while Jamie approaches the film from the perspective of a complete newcomer. Together we explore whether the film successfully balances fan service with accessibility, and why its commitment to embracing the colourful, campy spirit of the source material may be its greatest strength.Highlights Breakdown: - Faithful or Forgettable? The Character Designs - Nicholas Galitzine's performance as Prince Adam and He-Man - Jared Leto's surprising transformation into Skeletor - The Supporting Cast Nobody Expected - The Tone Question - 19 Years in Development - Box Office vs. Streaming Reality - Breaking down the post-credit scenes - Can the franchise survive despite a disappointing box office performance?Along the way, Jamie and Todd debate whether the film leans too heavily into comedy, examine the challenges facing modern blockbuster cinema in the streaming era, and discuss why Masters of the Universe may ultimately find its audience long after leaving theatres.If you've ever shouted "By the Power of Grayskull!" or you're simply curious whether this nostalgic revival deserves your attention, this episode has you covered.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

What's up, dudes? Now that Masters of the Universe is out in theaters, we're gonna have a watch-along party for the Filmation classic “He-Man and She-Ra: A Christmas Special”. I've got Mike Westfall from Advent Calendar House, Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas podcast, Anthony Caruso from ‘Tis the Podcast, and Chad Young from Horror Movie BBQ with me to provide commentary and enjoy the ride!The Filmation special begins with Orko accidentally blasting off in the Sky Spy and crash-landing on Earth, where he meets Miguel and Alisha. Before long, the kids and their Christmas tree are transported back to Eternia, and Horde Prime decides the Christmas spirit is dangerous enough to require immediate villainous intervention. Naturally, Skeletor and Hordak both want the reward.The joy of the episode is watching the cosmic toy-commercial universe collide with sincere Christmas messaging. He-Man and She-Ra punch through danger, the villains compete, the kids explain Christmas, and Skeletor discovers that warmth, puppies, and holiday goodwill might be harder to resist than Castle Grayskull itself.Orko in a spaceship? Check. Earth kids stranded on Eternia? Got 'em. Skeletor not being nice or  kind or wonderful? Not even! Even!

Spoilers ahead for Masters of the Universe. Jason and Rachel review Masters of the Universe, the new He-Man movie from Amazon MGM and Mattel. Rachel grew up on He-Man, She-Ra, and the whole Masters of the Universe toy-cartoon universe. Jason mostly remembers it as the moment he realized cartoons could just be commercials for toys. So naturally, expectations were complicated. We get into why the new Masters of the Universe feels like it can't decide what kind of movie it wants to be, whether He-Man works as modern IP, the strange tone, the comedy that doesn't always land, the nostalgia callbacks, the “He-Man” name problem, the 1987 Dolph Lundgren version, the She-Ra tease, and why Skeletor is easily the best thing in the movie. Plus: Jared Leto, Alison Brie, Idris Elba, Battle Cat asking for consent, Ram Man, Fisto, Brian May guitars, toy-commercial cynicism, masculine legacy confusion, and whether hardcore Masters of the Universe fans will have a better time than we did.

If you've been sitting around for nearly 4 decades wondering when they would make a new Masters of the Universe movie, it's your lucky day! Based on Mattel's highly popular 1980s toy franchise, Travis Knight (Bumblebee, Kubo and the Two Strings) is back to playing with toys in the latest nostalgia-filled blockbuster. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/SAx7r3p9YkUSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/reelspoilers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Masters of the Universe cost $200 million and it's probably the best He-Man movie anyone could have made. That's a compliment to the filmmakers and a ceiling on the IP. MonteCristo and DoA break down why this is a genuinely fun popcorn flick, why Jared Leto's Skeletor is the single best thing in it, and why the movie exists because Barbie made a billion dollars and Mattel greenlit everything in the building, including an Uno movie.   Raycon: Essential Open Earbuds wrap around your ear so you can hear your surroundings. 3 million customers, 30-day guarantee.

In Episode 231 of the podcast, hosts Mark and Devaughn are joined by special guests Adam from the Go Figure YouTube channel and comic book writer Shawn Pryor for a deep dive into the Masters of the Universe franchise. The group kicks off the episode by tracking the property's rich history, charting its evolution from the original 1980s Mattel toy line to the classic Filmation animated series and subsequent cartoon iterations, while also revisiting the infamous 1987 live-action Cannon Films adaptation. This extensive retrospective sets the stage for the episode's main event: a comprehensive, spoiler-filled discussion and review of the 2026 live-action Masters of the Universe feature film, analyzing how the blockbustesr reimagines Prince Adam's journey to becoming He-Man for modern audiences.You can follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or if you would like to support us you can donate to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠KoFi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

To defeat the evil Skeletor, He-Man and his friends travel to Earth, where they team up with two teenagers and a cop. Listen as we discuss Mattel's desperation for a hit toy line, wild cows in America, and a dangerous Gwildor drinking game. By the power of Grayskull, we have the power to find out if Masters of the Universe stands the Test of Time.

Directed by Travis Knight, Masters of the Universe is the sword-and-sorcery film based of the media franchise of the same name by Mattel. It is the second live-action film adaption after the 1987 film. After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine) back to Eternia where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto). To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela (Camila Mendes) and Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba), and embrace his true destiny as He-Man – the most powerful man in the universe. We break down all things "new adaption", embracing the cheese, and the wonders of Eternia.

Barbie has quite the impressive CV. She has had over 150 careers including fashion editor, surgeon and astronaut - enough to inspire any young fan. But what she has career-wise, she lacks when it comes to inclusivity. Barbie is usually blond, perfect and impossibly proportioned - there is a reason Margo Robbie is playing her in the latest Barbie film. But this is finally going to change: Barbie is becoming more inclusive. Mattel is launching a new ‘Fashonista line' which will include barbies with various disabilities, making it the most inclusive Barbie line to date. What does an inclusive Barbie look like? Why has it taken so long to have an inclusive Barbie? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

As you may have heard in last week's episode, the Culture Gabfest is hanging up its microphones after 18 years of cultural commentary. But before our final episode, we've still got much to discuss!On this special guest-packed show, Steve, Dana, and Nadira Goffe have the power! That is the power to get into it with VSFOP Jamelle Bouie about Masters of the Universe, the latest attempt by Mattel to launch their own cinematic universe. They assess the state of IP-driven superhero movies and whether this newest entry—starring Nicholas Galitzine, as the buff, loin cloth-wearing He-Man, and Jared Leto, as the slightly lascivious Skeletor—is more than brand management.Next, they turn to the wild, surreal revenge thriller Is God Is, written and directed by Aleshea Harris based on her stageplay. They talk about how this tale of twin sisters seeking vengeance fits into the growing pantheon of Black horror as well as the ancient canon of revenge tragedies.Finally, and for the final time, it's time to talk about Taylor Swift. In the wake of her newest release, the song “I Knew It, I Knew You” for the Toy Story 5 soundtrack, the gang assembles one more time to take up the long-simmering Tay debate. Jody Rosen and Julia jump on the call/enter the Thunderdome for this, of course. In a bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, the panel pours one out for the recently shuttered Hampshire College and reflects on the changing landscape of the liberal arts.EndorsementsDana: The interactive, Jazz-playing, transit-obsessed, single purpose website Train Jazz. (Hat tip once more to Rusty Foster's Today in Tabs.)Nadira: The Black Film Archive which showcases Black films made from 1898 to 1999 currently streaming. Also, the year 2016 in music. Jody: For some Gabfest replacement therapy, watching academic lectures on YouTube such as the lectures of art historian John Walsh at Yale Art Galleries—including ones on Vincent Van Gogh and Dutch masters— and cultural historian Eric Lott on Racial Masquerade in America and Philippe Petit's legendary tightrope walk between the Twin Towers. Julia: Patrick Radden Keefe's new book London Falling and the song "Come Tomorrow" by Patti Scialfa.Steve: Following up on last week's endorsement, Steve can confirm that Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee is, in fact, good. Also recommended: Offshore by Penelope Fitzgerald. --Email us your thoughts at culturefest@slate.com. Podcast production by Benjamin Frisch.

He-Man was always camp. The loincloth, the harness, the flexing, the pink tunic, Masters of the Universe was masculinity as WWE spectacle.. The 2026 film knew this, it just couldn't decide what to do about it. Host Matthew Fox welcomes Pete Wright of The Next Reel Film Podcast on TruStory FM to dig into why this movie feels like five films playing simultaneously, why the Barbie comparison is more complicated than it looks, and what a genuinely great He-Man movie would have required of its filmmakers.There's real craft on display; Idris Elba anchoring chaos, Jared Leto's Skeletor going full Shakespearean villain, moments of nostalgia that land exactly right. But the movie sets up a father-son arc about masculinity and emotional bravery, then resolves it with a half-hearted deathbed forgiveness scene that changes nothing. It gestures at He-Man's campy legacy and then gets embarrassed by it. It makes Adam an HR rep with empathy skills, then turns those skills into a punchline. The movie knew what it wanted to say. It just didn't have the nerve to say it.We also get into the full Mattel pipeline — Polly Pocket, Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, Magic 8-Ball as a horror comedy — and the nostalgia properties we'd actually pay to see: Gummi Bears, Darkwing Duck, and what Scooby-Doo keeps getting right that everyone else gets wrong.Full Show Notes and Resources**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

La reciente película de HE-MAN Y LOS MASTERS DEL UNIVERSO es la excusa ideal para hacer el especial que siempre se quiso hacer en LODE sobre esta franquicia.

Tonight on Damn You Hollywood, we review Masters of the Universe! Based on Mattel's iconic franchise, this 2026 fantasy adventure marks the long-awaited return of He-Man to the big screen, nearly forty years after the cult-classic 1987 film. Directed by Travis Knight and starring Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam/He-Man, the film follows Adam's journey back to Eternia, where he must embrace his destiny, wield the Power Sword, and defend his world from the sinister Skeletor, played by Jared Leto. Featuring a cast that includes Camila Mendes, Alison Brie, Morena Baccarin, Kristen Wiig, and Idris Elba, the film blends sword-and-sorcery action, science-fiction spectacle, and classic 1980s nostalgia. After a troubled development process that bounced between studios for over a decade, Masters of the Universe finally arrives in theaters. Did Amazon MGM successfully bring Eternia to life, or should this franchise have remained in Castle Grayskull?

Concocted by Mattel, aided by the synergy of a cartoon, and ultimately undone by corporate greed and an underperforming movie (that one of our cohost loves) , take a journey with us to Eternia to see a musclebound hero who's been killed and resurrected many times because you can't keep a once successful IP down.

By the power of Grayskull, the listeners have spoken! For our June new release review, the members of CinemaShock+ have chosen MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, the major live-action revival of He-Man and the forces of Eternia. Starring Nicholas Galitzine, Camila Mendes, Alison Brie, Idris Elba, and Jared Leto, the film represents Mattel's most significant theatrical push since BARBIE took over the world three years ago. We'll be taking a trek through the hyper-stylized world built by director Travis Knight, evaluating how it handles decades of lore, and discussing our childhood nostalgia for Eternia stands up against modern studio tropes. We discuss the balancing act between serving genuine 80s nostalgia and appealing to an entirely new audience, breaking down whether this block of corporate intellectual property holds any genuine artistic merit.

In this episode, we sit with Jeanetta Gonzales, Ilana's first art licensing mentor, for a conversation that goes way beyond business strategy. We're talking about the long, winding road of building a creative career, what it was actually like to exhibit at art licensing trade shows, and why the seeds you plant at a show might not sprout for years.Jeanetta also shares all about her brand new book series, Free Pass, four illustrated coupon books published with Chronicle that are essentially permission slips for creatives, workers, resters, and parents. The creativity book was born directly out of her coaching work after she noticed that the moment she gave an artist the green light, everything changed.If you've felt stuck in a creative funk, wondered if your winding career path was “wrong,” or needed someone to just give you permission to rest, this one's for you.All that and more when you listen to this episode:How Jeanetta went from UCLA fine art major to Barbie packaging designer at MattelStumbling into art licensing and what Surtex was (and why it mattered)Whether art licensing trade shows are still worth it, and what the long game really looks likeWhat it's actually like to design and work on a trade show booth The story behind her new book series, Free PassHow she illustrated 72 pieces in the middle of a cross-country moveWorking with ADHD: procrastination, pressure, and finally getting it doneWhy your environment has more impact on your creativity than you thinkBeing honest about being in a creative funk, and not rushing to fix itHer plans to rebrand for the first time in 10 years Connect with Jeanetta GonzalesWebsite: https://www.jeanettagonzales.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nettdesigns Free Pass Book Series: https://www.jeanettagonzales.com/freepasscoupons Jeanetta select client work: NY Times, Pantone, Target, Michaels, Edible Arrangements, and Brumate.Mentioned in this episode:Free Pass, Jeanetta's 4-book seriesSurtex (art licensing trade show)National Stationery ShowLas Vegas Trade ShowUpper Limit Challenge (concept from The Big Leap)Connect with Katie & Ilana from GoodtypeGoodtype WebsiteGoodtype on InstagramGoodtype on YoutubeWe wrote a book! Grab a copy and sign up to access the audiobook when we release it!Love The Typecast and free stuff?

Mackenzi Lee's Masters of the Universe: Teela: Daughter of Eternos (Mattel, 2026) is a young adult tie-in for the Masters of the Universe (2026) film.  A FALLEN KINGDOMFour years after Skeletor decimated the kingdom of Eternos, Teela and the scattered refugees of Eternia survive by never staying in one place for long. When a brutal storm of acidic rain deep within the Evergreen Forest leaves their camp ravaged and hope at its thinnest, some, like Teela's friend Locke, begin to plan for a future beyond Eternia. But Teela knows her father Duncan, the once-mighty Man-At-Arms, won't survive leaving the land he swore to protect.A FORBIDDEN ALLIANCEDesperate to save her people, Teela ventures to Darksmoke to bargain with the ancient dragon Granamyr. He bestows upon her a vial filled with a mysterious, powerful elixir—and no instructions on its use. Enter Evil-Lyn, Skeletor's ruthless second-in-command, who intercepts Teela with a dangerous proposal: an alliance. In exchange for the vial's secrets, Teela and the Heroic Warriors must someday help the sorceress overthrow Skeletor himself.A MAGIC THAT COULD SAVE—OR DESTROY—THEM ALLThe vial heals the sick and brings food back to empty tables—until the forest around the camp begins to change.
