The world is a very small place. Amidst a global pandemic, Chris Armstrong creative genius and founder of NIICE, a UK-based creative firm, spends time with Royce and Mia describing the value of employee trust, the battle of isolation, and how the creative landscape has changed in 2020. Although halfway around the world in Ireland, Chris describes his approach to some of the very same challenges we all face in this remote working environment stateside. And, Royce is dying to ask his one serious question....about Irish potatoes.
Chris Armstrong is the founder of Niice. Niice brings all your guidelines, libraries and projects together in a collaborative hub that evolves with your brand.
In this incredibly topical episode, we are joined by the research director of NIICE, Nepal, Dr Pramod Jaiswal in discussing Nepal's foreign policy, primarily in regard to its large neighbours in India and China. The conversation covers the history of the disputed Kalapani and Lipulekh regions that have stirred up controversy on the Indo-Nepalese border as well as the Chinese construction in the Humla region of Nepal. We further talk about the Madheshi people, the Gorkha Regiment, Nepal's involvement in the BRI and a possible tripartite alliance between India, China and Nepal and what that would mean for the development of Nepal

In this episode I speak to Chris Armstrong, designer and founder. Chris started Niice as a side project 5 years ago. It's now a SaaS app with 100K+ users. We talk about launching at 2.30 in the morning, how he figured out who his target audience was and learning how to talk about his product in a way that would appeal to them.
A lot has happened since the last time I interviewed the stars of the B96 morning show: Julian Nieh left Chicago, and J Niice and Showbiz Shelly are the main hosts (with producer Gabe, who wasn't interviewed at this time). First, Showbiz Shelly talks briefly (because she had to leave, just like last time) about her celebrity-filled life, including spilling a drink on Miranda Rae Mayo, the daily smackdown, yoga, relaxing, going out in Chicago, cohosting on WCIU’s morning show and appearance on Fox Chicago, cohosting the B96 morning show, highlights of her radio career, and advice for working in the media.Then we find out a lot about J Niice, including his huge career as a child star on TV, including Sesame Street and the famous Honeycomb cereal commercial with Andre the Giant; his scary plane incident; his New York background; why he travels so much; being Jamaican and hanging out with the Jamaican community in Chicago and New York; being successful without the arrogance; how the B96 morning show is different after Julian left; what’s great about morning radio, even though it's super-early; interacting with the audience via social media; his hobbies such as soccer, scuba diving, volunteering at the Shedd Aquarium and Chill (a snowboarding charity for inner city kids), and snowboarding in his free time; his passion for late night television, especially Arsenio Hall; being on the TV shows Dish Nation and Empire; what he thinks of hip hop culture; what's great about Queens in New York; Jamaica; why he likes Chicago, and more.Click the link below to play, or download it by right-clicking (on a PC) or holding down the CTRL key and clicking on it (for Mac).http://radiogirl.us/audio/RG149.mp3
