If you've ever wondered about the inner workings of events like XOXO, World Domination Summit, Sneaker Week, and the One Motorcycle Show, you're in for a treat. Our guest this week, Rachel Coddington, shares the deets on how small teams can manage such large events and handle controversies with grace and poise.Guest BioRachel Coddington currently works alongside the vibrant minds at Instrument, creating more meaningful experiences across disciplines and skill levels. Her passion lies in formatting moments of togetherness to be accessible and inclusive- which frequently means integrating technology with a more thoughtful lens. She has spent the last 10 years creating and managing events, both independently—XOXO, World Domination Summit, Sneaker Week PDX, One Motorcycle Show—and through Design Week Portland as their Managing Director. She prides herself on creating seamless, entertaining, incendiary events with enthusiasm, skill and experience. Key Topics and Takeaways0:03:58 - Event Curation and Experiential DesignRachel touches on two key aspects of event planning and curation. First, she emphasizes the importance of supporting event curators by taking care of logistical details, such as speaker arrangements and accommodations, to allow them to focus on content and experience creation. Second, Rachel underscores the significance of deeply understanding event attendees. This involves not only their interests but also their physical, social, and psychological needs, such as catering to introverts, individuals with social anxiety, and parents with children.0:17:50 - Security and Inclusion at EventsWe talk about XOXO's response to an online harassments campaign targeting one of their speakers. Rachel walks us through the security measures put in place, including the identification of key individuals and potential threats. We also look at extra steps events can take to create space for attendees when an event touches on difficult topics.0:33:28 - Managing an event team with honesty and empathyRachel shares how she strikes a balance between empathy and reality when managing an event team within a large event agency like Instrument. How do we show compassion for a situation and provide what is feasible while being truthful about the company's needs? We also discuss the pros and cons of working for an agency, vs being an independent event producer.Want to dive deeper? Take our free 30 minute training, Community Event Mastery.

This week’s episode features Toronto based photographer Jamal Burger (@jayscale). Jamal has worked closely with Masai Ujiri, the president of basketball operations of the Toronto Raptors, as well as with major brands such as Slam, Nike, and Jordan. We discussed his experience growing up in Regent Park and the complexities of navigating the world as a bi-racial man. We touched on what motivated him to go into photography and the opportunities that propelled his career. Furthermore, we discussed what inspired him to start, along with his close friends, a youth-led organization The Kickback (@kickbackconnect). The organization began with a Toronto-area shoe drive in the summer of 2017. Since then, The Kickback has hosted basketball tournaments in New York, Sneaker Week seminars in Portland, and countless other community events. The Kickback has donated over 6000 pairs of sneakers tied to specific programming for youth globally. Mentioned blog post: https://kickbackconnect.com/whats-the-problem

In today's episode I sit down with Brett Brown. He is a 3D designer at Nike. When he's not designing the future of footwear you can find him shooting photos in the street or in his portrait studio. In this conversation we discuss his journey into design, what it's like to have a "white sounding" name and race in the workplace. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and look forward to creating more inclusive spaces with leaders like Brett. If you enjoy this episode, make sure to share it with a friend!

Together, they form (sans one member) Aesthete Society (https://www.aesthetesociety.com/) and are all employees of Nike.They have an upcoming show on 26 August 2018 at 417 NW Couch St for Sneaker Week (https://www.sneakerweekpdx.com/) here in Portland. This location is at lot 259 across from Deadstock Coffee (https://www.deadstockcoffee.com/). As told in the episode, they will be focusing on cool or interesting shoes throughout history that have influenced our culture and art. It should be an amazing time all around, and we highly recommend you check it out.As always, thank you to our sponsor, Cascade Street Distillery (http://cascadestreetdistillery.com/), for providing us with high quality spirits. We popped open a bottle of North Sister Vodka (http://cascadestreetdistillery.com/spirits/north-sister-vodka/), and every bit was as delicious as it looked. It even tamed Risa's nerves!
Ready for new fall things? Out with last year's school shoes, in with fun new kicks like Sneaker Week, the Stackstock Music Festival, and more.Sneaker Week Takes Flight - 1:30How has no one thought of this before? Sneaker Week is a brand new celebration of the street style and informed design that put Oregon at the center of the sneaker universe. Elayna Yussen went out to meet the organizers at Portland's kicks-centric coffee show Deadstock and Pensole Shoe Design Academy. Get out in front of this one — it’s going to be a blast.Hip Hop DJ Bobbito Garcia's New Podcast - 5:32We were out of our minds with excitement to hear Bobbito Garcia is coming for Sneaker Week (We hear he’s locked in for Kick Flicks II, on the Tuesday schedule). He is not just the author of a couple of good books on sneaker culture and the star of EPSN’s “It’s the Shoes,” he’s also been blowing our minds all summer co-hosting the new NPR Podcast, “What’s Good with Stretch and Bobbito” Garcia has reunited with DJ Stretch Armstrong for long-listens with people like Dave Chappelle, Stevie Wonder, and more. We’ve got a bit of their conversation with Bob Boilen from NPR’s All Songs Considered.Rethinking Arts Spaces in Vancouver and Beaverton - 10:28It’s not just you. Everyone in the metro area is traveling farther and paying more to make and experience art. This week we’re checking in on efforts to create new arts centers in Vancouver and Beaverton, on the eve of a big Sept. 23 summit meeting in Clark County. Makers and arts organizations are scrambling to claim square footage amid the new building boom. There are some highly advantageous options coming down the pipeline, but also a lot of problems to get worked out along the way.Lasting Grace: Remembering Brian Doyle - 16:21Friends of the late, much-missed writer Brian Doyle will gather this Thursday, Sept. 21, at First Congregational Church in Portland to read and laugh and cry and remember. The program is a who’s who of Oregon literary greats: Barry Lopez, Kim Stafford, Kathleen Dean Moore, as well as friends from afar like David James Duncan. Literary Arts will record the event, and we look forward to bringing you some of the readings in weeks to come.Ages and Ages Sings Songs for Disaster - 17:35On Sept. 23, a brand new music festival will bring some of the region’s hottest bands to one of its coolest locales: the Oregon Coast. Paying tribute to the nearby Haystack Rock, the Stackstock Music Festival in Cannon Beach is being headlined by the Decemberists' Colin Meloy, Pure Bathing Culture, and our favorite purveyor of infectious hand claps, Ages and Ages. To celebrate, we're listening back to a live session we and opbmusic recorded with them around the release of their 2016 album, “Something to Ruin." It's themes of gentrification, displacement, natural disaster, the end of civilization, and how to weather the chaos seem even more appropriate now then when it came out. You can watch the opbmusic session here.Master Printer Frank Janzen Looks Back On 16 Years at Crow's Shadow - 27:45Frank Janzen collaborated with Oregon’s best artists for 16 years — everyone from established masters like Rick Bartow to rising stars like Samantha Wall. Now he’s getting ready to hang up his spurs as the master printmaker at Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts. Janzen shares what it's like to collaborate with creative minds and the stories behind the works that will make up Crow's Shadow's 25th Anniversary Retrospective, opening at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art in Salem this weekend.Marie Watt Explores Comfort and Community through Blankets - 38:41Marie Watt makes a power play with a new exhibition at PDX Contemporary. She’s created big installations before, stacking blankets high to invoke tribal tradition and a place on the continuum of history, but her new work involves 20-foo-long rafts of fabric, overstitched with giant wolves and a forest of phrases invoking comfort and connection. She tells us about the sewing circles that made it happen, and the challenges of realizing ideas at such a large scale.Deer Tick Goes Acoustic - 35:06When you’re a raucous, high-energy live band known for living loud, sometimes the scariest thing you can do is slow your roll. Deer Tick turns down the volume and goes acoustic for one of their two new studio albums and tour.
