And I've been saying to people recently, you know, having moved to Costa Rica, and like connecting with people here that I'm sure it's similar for you so much of my business has grown because of relationships. So I love that you just reached out to me, we had a little conversation, you're very patient, I'm like circle back in a month, we had a conversation. And so just the point in connecting and having real relationships with people can really shift the trajectory of your business. Kevin Ramsey 1:48 Yeah, without a doubt, I've been trying to be more proactive personally, when it comes to platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn, and those connections are at your fingertips, it's just a matter of like, you know, putting in the time looking around, like for me recently, I've been really focused on the new phrase, you know, called the crater economy and seeing who else is involved in that space.

Today's guest is Kevin Ramsey. Kevin Ramsey is a serial entrepreneur based out of Koreatown, Los Angeles. His first taste of being an entrepreneur was in his junior year of high school when he founded Hungercraft. Hungercraft was a Minecraft development company that reached a milestone of 3 million monthly active players in 2011. By the end of his freshman year of college, Kevin had sold Hungercraft and founded the e-sports management company Denial eSports. Denial eSports went on to win a range of competitions and awards including the Call of Duty World Championships. Due to the rapid growth success of the e-sports company, Kevin left Savannah College of Art and Design and relocated to Columbus, Ohio where he went full-time at the company's gaming house. After realizing relative success, Kevin took the leap to join a leading global toy manufacturer and rapidly ascended through the company. He eventually left his corporate career to found Warren James. With full-time staff in LA and China, the company manages everything from product design, product development , and logistics to white label website creation, fulfillment, and retail for a portfolio of successful creators and brands.We talk what inspired him to start Warren James, what he has learned from working with well know influencers, and how to stand out as a brand. His website https://www.warrenjames.org

In 2018 he switched sides of the table and lead the licensing program at Roblox before eventually leaving to found Warren James.

Do you find it challenging to communicate the value that you delivered when it comes to performance review time or when negotiating your salary? In today’s episode, I invited Warren James - former engineer and project manager, turned coach and mentor will share his tips on how to prepare for performance conversations, how to articulate the value you bring to an organisation when negotiating your salary, and the compounding effect salary negotiations can have over time. Warren wrote Further Faster – The Ultimate Guide To Accelerating Your Career for young professionals to encourage them to work smarter, not harder. He is passionate about showing them how, with a little effort and forethought, they can achieve more than they ever dreamed possible. Warren’s own career success in engineering and project management saw him ascend the corporate ladder and put himself in a position where retirement was an option at age 35. A career highlight was delivering $50+M worth of work under budget, ahead of schedule, without any recordable injuries while managing a team in excess of 150 people. As a project manager, Warren discovered that he thoroughly enjoyed helping people reach their full potential. He also experienced the burnout that can come from the stress, long hours and immense pressure, needing four months off work to recharge at one point in his career. Now, as a leader, mentor and director of Rapid Mentoring, what sets Warren apart is his unique approach that balances life skills and resilience, coupled with a focus on performance and career acceleration.

When Warren James first joined me back on episode 9, his ambition of writing a book was very much in its infancy.   After a mere 18 months in the making, Warren is back on episode 44 of Beneath the Surface to discuss his brand-new book ‘Further Faster: The ultimate guide to accelerating your career’. An engineer by trade, Warren spent many years working FIFO in the oil and gas industry before the harsh reality of burn-out set in.  He then shelved the steel caps to found Rapid Mentoring, which ultimately led him down the path of authorhood.  The rest, as they say, is history... In this episode, Warren kicks things off with his author’s journey, and details the emotional rollercoaster and key challenges that come with writing a book.  We also chat through topics including finding your purpose, aligning your values, the ‘four pillars’, flow states and the value you can offer by doubling down on your strengths. On top of that, we discuss the double-edged sword of asking for genuine feedback, and how being really specific in your request is vital to receiving the feedback that needs to be heard. Warren’s a legend and it’s a pleasure to not only share the mic with him, but congratulate him on a truly inspiring read.  ‘Further Faster’ is out now and available here, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy our chat.

It’s ultimately about avoiding floating and getting stuck in a rut. Having a flexible plan which can also be applied to other parts of your life as well will help that. Warren talked about the specifics of smart goals to avoid things passing you by. For example, can put a time scale on activities or ambitions and life planning exercises using sticky notes with the things you want to do, achieve or places you want to go to in the different decades of your life. This helps provide direction and can help you take the first important steps. He encourages you to think about those initial tiny steps that can help you move forward.  BIG IDEA 2 (7:28) – Four buckets The four buckets that Warren mentioned in this book are: 1. Career 2. Finance 3. Bucket list 4. Personal You use these four buckets to plan. It helps you think about the things that you can do today or this to help one of these things move forward. It can also help you set your career goals. This can influence your plan and create balance.  BIG IDEA 3 (9:05) – Know your numbers Warren shared some of his numbers and his solid approach to his personal finance and the impact of that. This also avoids you getting stuck and making poor financial decisions early on in your career and then ending up over-leveraged and tied to your salary. One idea is working out your hourly rate helps you understand and get a better appreciation of how much things really cost. For example if you want to buy a shirt, think about how many hours of work it will cost. This helps you set priorities and plan your career goals, financial goals, bucket list and personal goals.  It helps you prioritise where to spend your money and the kind of lifestyle you want to create.

Usually, we interview an inspirational entrepreneur, but today we decided to break down User Generated Content, or UGC. It was brought up briefly on our episode with Jonathan Skogmo, founder of Jukin, and with Kevin Ramsey founder of Warren James, but UGC has a long rich history that continues to impact us today. Every day people post billions of pictures and videos of failures, triumphs, and all of life's most spectacular and ridiculously mundane moments. If you have ever posted a personal video or photo onto Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Reddit, Vimeo, or any other social media platform, you have posted User Generated Content. And with each post you make, you are contributing to the rapid evolution of UGC. But before we go any further, we need to know, what exactly is User Generated Content?

Today on the show we talk to Kevin Ramsey, founder of Warren James, a custom merchandising firm that specializes in the content creator ecosystem. I just threw a lot of words at you there so let me break down what we’re actually looking at here. A decade ago when people heard the term content creator, they thought of a bunch of teens with crappy webcams recording vlogs in their room for YouTube. Now, those teens are all grown up and have developed themselves into some of the most recognizable brands in the world. And I’m not talking about small mom-and-pop shop off-brand brands, only known within their respective communities. Content creators are amassing millions of followers, and with those millions of followers are coming millions of dollars. And with this money, has come legitimization. Consequently, the gap between established brands like Gucci and new-age brands like Jefferey Star Cosmetics is shrinking. The brands these creators have built out of themselves have become so massive, so exponentially popular that I think it’s likely that their names will soon come to rival traditional name brands in terms of cultural impact. And this is where Kevin’s company, Warren James, steps in. Warren James is capitalizing on this personal branding, offering custom products that previously were only available to large companies. Basically, with the help of Warren James, these content creators can stop selling crappy off-center screen printed t-shirts, and instead market custom Nikes. Kevin has discovered a niche within an already-developed marketplace. Content creators were already generating merchandise for their personal brands. But now he was giving them a chance to expand their shops. He wasn’t breaking the wheel, or even reinventing it; instead, think of it as adding customized rims to the car.

This is a mix dedicated to all those veterans out there who served. A special thanks to my dad, uncles, great aunt, first cousin, grandfather who all served in the military. A special thanks for my extended family's veterans, Micah Johnson, Doctor Johnson and Willie McFadden for their service. Another special thanks to LaDawn's father, Warren James for his service as well.My father would especially make sure we mentioned his friend, TJ Stewart for his service.Does anyone question our commitment?DJDNovember 11, 2019

It's not often we have the pleasure of having one of the world's best Calisthenics athletes from America to come onto the podcast! So it was our pleasure to welcome the incredible Warren James Li, better known as @prove_it on Instagram! Warren has an incredible story of how he got started in calisthenics and he learned from the master himself... the great Frank Medrano who introduced him to calisthenics. Frank Medrano was the first person we saw on YouTube so hearing Warren recall when he first met him and how he trained with and learned from him was so insightful. It hasn't all been easy for Warren, he speaks passionately about the disappointment of trying to get on America's Ninja Warrior before realising his dreams. He talks about all the lessons he's learned in his own calisthenics journey as well as sharing tips for those of you trying to learn some of the feats of strength he's got in his locker! There's even a twist at the end of the interview where I promise you won't believe how we somehow got round to talking about Jacko's mullet...make sure you listen to the end!

Warren James of Rapid Mentoring joins me on episode 9 of Beneath the Surface.  Warren is an engineer by trade, who’s worked on projects in energy, high voltage electrical and has spent a number of years in the oil and gas industry.     Warren is also the founder of Rapid Mentoring, created to help graduates and those within the early years of their careers go further, faster.  But as we discuss in this podcast, the content is absolutely applicable to anyone at nearly any stage of their career.   In this episode, we navigate the struggles of working on FIFO projects, the harsh reality of burn-out, how a close colleague changed Warren's perspective of wanting to retire at 40, and how stumbling on a seemingly random article on LinkedIn proved to be the catalyst for Warren to pivot into a career that he was truly passionate about.  On top of all this, Warren talks through a very simple, yet powerful technique to switch off, sleep better and get happy.   Finally, in a Beneath the Surface first, Warren shares a great offer for anyone keen to join the Rapid community.  Stay tuned until the end of the episode for all the details.   Thank you for being part of the journey, enjoy…   Reach out to Warren here

THIS WEEK: Audy is back with a different kind of podcast! First, he and Elvin review the new Sony Pictures Animation Studio feel good, thrill ride of a movie, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse starring Shameik Moore and Jake Johnson. Audy really liked the film as it hit on all cylinders and gave him a big bang for his buck with a jolt of excitement that a lot of its superhero film counterparts can't drum up. Elvin loved the film giving it a Top 10 Film of the Year with 4 out of 4 stars highlighting the movie's soundtrack as some of the best he has heard in a while. Next, Audy brings on Sean Lindenmuth and Warren James to join him and Elvin to discuss highlights from the new Avengers: Endgame trailer. Audy likes that there is a shroud of mystery covering the new film, while Warren and Sean break down the big return of Hawkeye, and Elvin gives props to Ant-Man's return. Lastly, all the fellas switch gears and do a retro review of the original post modern action film, Die Hard starring Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman. This year was the 30th anniversary of this no holds barred action film. Audy breaks down the significance of the film and its contributions and the influences it has on action movies John Wick, Fast and Furious franchise, Bad Boys and The Raid Redemption. They also break down the best scene of the film, best line, and why John McClaine is the most relatable action hero of all time.    Rating:  Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse  Audy - 3.0 stars out of 4 Hell Yeah Elvin - 4.0 start out of 4 Hell Yeah *Top 10 Film of the Year     Remember to listen, subscribe, rate, review and follow our guys on Social Media and iTunes, Soundcloud or Stitcher.    Audy Christianos Twitter: @cinesamurairiff IG: cinemasamurai  Website: Cinemasamurai.net    Elvin Jones Twitter: @imthenerdfather website: nerdfather.com 

THIS WEEK: Upon Further Review - The Year 2000! Audy continues his new series by reviewing three films from that year. He brings on two guest co-hosts Warren James, and his producer Jessica Elliott, to walk through memory lane and review Almost Famous, Cast Away and Unbreakable. First, all three review the Cameron Crowe directed and written, coming of age drama, Almost Famous starring Billy Crudup, Kate Hudson and Frances McDormand. All three hosts thought that the movie was overrated, even though there was a benign sweetness tied to the characters. The movie ultimately did not age any better to due lack of strong character arcs. Second, is Cast Away, starring Tom Hanks, and Wilson the Volleyball. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, Cast Away was a popular film back in the day that all three admitted they entirely didn't get or didn't even want to get originally. Upon further review Audy loved it, Jessica really liked it and Warren came away really appreciating the film regardless of the heavy handed and ambiguous ending. Lastly, Unbreakable by M. Night Shyamalan starring Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. Audy couldn't stand this movie, and really wanted more. He further admitted that it had some potential but was very hallow in its concept. Jessica didn't think much of the film watching it again, but praised Bruce Willis' performance. Warren, unapologetically loved this film and after rewatching it still loves it and feels it's one of the best superhero movies ever, and definitely his favorite Shyamalan film.    UPON FURTHER REVIEW Film Ratings    Almost Famous  2.0 out of 4 and "Hell No" (Audy) 2.0 out of 4 and "Hell No" (Jessica) 2.0 out of 4 and "Hell No" (Warren)   Cast Away  3.5 out of 4 and "Hell Yeah" (Audy) 3.0 out of 4 and "Hell Yeah" (Jessica) 3.0 out of 4 and "Hell Yeah" (Warren)   Unbreakable  2.0 out of 4 and "Hell No" (Audy) 2.0 out of 4 and "Hell No" (Jessica) 3.5 out of 4 and "Hell Yeah" (Warren)   Remember to listen, subscribe, rate, review and follow on social media and iTunes, Soundcloud or Stitcher.

This Week: Audy wanted to try something different and do a retro review of three movies from 2014 that he originally reviewed. This episode, he brings on his regular co-host Elvin "The Nerdfather" Jones and other frequent collaborator, Warren James, to do a new podcast series: Upon Further Review. The first film from 2014 the fellas review is John Wick starring Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane and Willem Dafoe. Audy felt the movie started a new genre of bareknuckle, grounded, microbudget action film and resurrected Keanu Reeves' career. Warren thought the action scenes still held up regardless of the flat second half of the film. Second, is Christopher Nolan's time travel, sci-fi thriller Interstellar starring Matthew "Alright Alright Alright" McConaughey, Michael Caine, Jessica Chastain, and Anne Hathaway. Elvin thought the movie got better over time and felt that the "weightiness" of the material upon first review four years ago wasn't a sticking point at all for an otherwise great film and lauded that this movie showcased a Matthew McConaughey APEX performance. Audy and Warren initially and pensively gave the movie a 3-star "Hell Yeah" rating, but upon rewatching felt the movie is excellent and will go down as one of Nolan's top films. Lastly, Edge of Tomorrow, the little known movie starring a damaged goods movie star in Tom Cruise and then an unknown actress in Emily Blunt. Needless to say, upon further review, all three fellas felt the movie's writing, editing and humor is borderline brilliant especially in the first half of the film. It really made Emily Blunt the action heroine that the box office needed and paved the road for her career and role in Sicario. The movie, as great as it was, like John Wick went from a crashing halt, to a predictable and weak plot conclusion but still a strong and memorable film overall!  UPON FURTHER REVIEW Film Ratings  John Wick 2.5 out 4 and "Hell Yeah"  (Audy)  2.5 out 4 and "Hell Yeah"  (Warren)  3.0 out 4 and "Hell Yeah"  (Elvin)    Interstellar 3.5 out 4 and "Hell Yeah"  (Audy)  3.5 out 4 and "Hell Yeah"  (Warren)  3.5 out 4 and "Hell Yeah"  (Elvin)    Edge of Tomorrow 3.0 out 4 and "Hell Yeah"  (Audy)  3.0 out 4 and "Hell Yeah"  (Warren)  3.0 out 4 and "Hell Yeah"  (Elvin)      Remember to listen, subscribe, rate, review and follow on social media and iTunes, Soundcloud or Stitcher.

THIS WEEK: WAKANDA FOREVER! Happy Black Panther Month! Audy comes back with a vengeance with the best Marvel movie ever made, or that is what he keeps telling himself. After a couple weeks off, Audy brings back his co-host, Elvin Jones, to discuss the impact of Black Panther. Audy thought the film was a triumph awarding the movie 4 stars and calling it a cultural celebration that blends effortlessly superhero, action, and historical elements to a rousing success. Elvin loved the film having seen it twice in its opening weekend and asserted that this film was able to work on every thematic level and have the same kind of awareness and cultural force that the mini series Roots had over 30 years ago. Next, Audy brings on his three guest co-hosts: Warren James, Sean Lindenmuth and producer Jessica "Peety Draws" Elliott to go over a deeper review on the 'Review Roundup Segment'. Each person gave their viewpoint with the movie and also talked about possible nitpicks, is this movie really great or will it be overrated like Avengers, and what does this film represent with the new film industry landscape. Lastly, the panel does its Black Panther Exit Survey, where Audy asks the guest host questions like "Best moment of the movie" "Favorite secondary character" and "Where does Black Panther rank in the MCU now?" Sit back, relax, laugh and listen to the beats and enjoy the show!! 

THIS WEEK: Audy is back with two of his good friends and cinephiles Warren James, and Sean Lindenmuth. First, Audy and Warren review the Ridley Scott biopic/thriller All the Money in the World starring Christopher Plummer, Michelle Williams and Mark Wahlberg. Warren thought Christopher Plummer did a great job as Kevin Spacey's replacement as John Paul Getty but felt the movie could have been better in its screenplay. Audy commended Ridley Scott for making the decision to take Spacey out, replace him with Plummer, do re-shoots with the cast at the 11th hour, and still make a competent film but that is all that was positive with this serviceable, but unforgettable film. Next, Sean joins Warren and Audy to review the sci-fi/fantasy romance film The Shape of Water. Directed by Guillermo Del Toro and starring Sophie Hawkins and Doug Jones. Audy was immersed in the world and lauded all the technical aspects of the film, in particular Hawkins' performance, but felt the film played things too safe. Warren agreed, but felt that film did a great job of its 50's commentary on race, sexuality and paternalism and lauded Michael Shannon's performance. Sean respected the film, but felt the romance between its both leads were rushed, along with no seeming consequence of the character's actions within the plot along with the overall conceptual silliness of a woman and fishman falling in love.  All the Money in the World Audy - 2.5 out of 4 stars - "Hell No" Don't go see it! Warren - 2.5 out of stars - "Hell No" Don't go see it!!    The Shape of Water Audy - 3 out of 4 stars - "Hell Yeah" Go see it!  Elvin - 3 out of 4 stars -  "Hell Yeah" Go see it Sean - 2 out of 4 stars - "Hell No" Don't go see it!     Remember to listen, subscribe, rate, review and follow our guys on social media and iTunes, Soundcloud or Stitcher.

THIS WEEK: Your host Audy is back with his good friend and fellow cinephile, guest host Warren James. First they start of with Netflix's steaming pile of South Central/Midevil fantasy crap - Bright, directed by David Ayer (Suicide Squad, End of Watch, Fury) and written by Max Landis (Chronicle, American Fury). Audy felt the film's mashup of Lord of The Rings fantasy and Training Day just clashed and couldn't merge both genres strongly. Warren felt the film was lazy in its world building details and its racial/social allegory ridiculous and missed the mark. Afterwards, Audy and Warren run down the "Top 14 Eye Roll Moments" in Bright and really light the movie on fire. Next, they review Steven Spielberg's (E.T., Schindler's List) The Post. Warren loved the film praising its realism and acting between its two leads Meryl Streep (Devil Wears Prada) and Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump) while Audy liked the film. He felt it was filmed with too much reverence and didn't do enough to throw the audience in the moment as the plot was progressing in better like minded films such as Spotlight and All The Presidents Men. Lastly, Warren gives his two cents and reviews Star Wars: The Last Jedi. He agreed that there were some fantastic moments in the film, but felt overall that it was not epic enough and felt more like a side mission, even though he admired Luke's portrayal by Mark Hamill in this one a lot. And the show ends with Audy asking Warren his thoughts on Star Wars with questions such as "Is Snoke really dead"? and "Should have Finn died on Crait?"    Bright  Audy: 2 out of 4 stars - Hell No!  Warren: 1 out of 4 stars - Hell No!    The Post Audy: 3 out of 4 stars - Hell Yeah!  Warren: 3.5 out 4 starts - Hell Yeah! (Top 10 Film of The Year)    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (bonus review)  Warren: 2.5 out of 4 stars - Hell No!    This episode's hashtags #fairieslivesdontmatter #willsmithstonerhoodie     Remember to listen, subscribe, rate, review and follow our guys on social media and iTunes, Soundcloud or Stitcher.

First, the fellas start off with initial thoughts in which they all agree the film was a blast, with excellent, irreverent comedy led by Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth. Next, the fellas dive deeper and give a thorough review of the movie. Audy really liked how they revitalized the Thor character arc based off of Chris Hemsworth comedic ability from Ghostbusters, while Elvin gave a Wayne's World SCHWING!! to both Cate Blanchett and Tessa Thompson's badass, sexy performances. Next the fellas break down nitpicks of the film, such as shoddy CGI work in parts, and basic, generic action sequences. Lastly, Audy, Elvin and Warren vote on who is the film's MVP, had the funniest line, and what in the film will age the best and worst in five years . Also, Audy passionately, yet repeatedly, fails to convince the fellas that Matt Damon's cameo was #BestThingInThor and everyone laughing on hearing Elvin say the Devil's Anus with a straight face.

Audy doesn't know if The Black Panther will be any good, but it just feels right and passes the eye test - which is good enough for him. Elvin is just stunned that Disney went H.A.M. and dropped two of the best trailers back to back and dropped the hammer on the industry. Next, your hosts are joined by special guest Warren James, and the show's producer, Jessica Elliott, to break down Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi.

EPISODE 24 RECAP: This Week: Your hosts Audy and Elvin are joined by their friend and fellow movie lover Warren James to review the long awaited BladeRunner 2049. The film starring Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Jared Leto and Robin Wright is the 30 year old follow up film from the Ridley Scott 1982 sci-fi noir cult classic Blade Runner. The fellas really dive into things by starting off with a Non spoiler review which all three guys agree that this is technically impressive film led by strong direction by Denis Villaneuve and frequent collaborator cinematographer Roger Deakins but still felt collectively that the film came up short in a lot of other areas. Then they discuss Blade Runner 2049 underperformance in the box office. Next they do the spoiler review where they unpack a lot, and we do mean A LOT of the puzzling aspects of the film with its intended ambiguous and mysterious narrative. Lastly, Audy, Elvin and Warren ask the unanswered questions left at the end of the film and where the movie's franchise's next move in the story will go.    Film Ratings: Blade Runner 2049    Audy: 2.5 out of 4 stars - Hell No!  Elvin: 3.0 out of 4 stars - Hell Yeah!  Warren: 2.5 out of 4 stars - Hell Yeah!    Remember to Listen, subscribe, rate, review and follow our guys on social media and Itunes, Soundcloud or Stitcher.    Audy Christianos  Twitter: @cinesamurairiff  IG: cinemasamurai  website: www.cinemasamurai.net Elvin Jones Twitter: @imthenerdfather  Instagram: @darkphenix305  www.thenerdfather.com

This Week: Your hosts Audy and Elvin are joined by their friends and fellow cinephiles,Bryant Foster and Warren James. First all four guys review Edgar Wright's new Heist/Comedy crime film 'Baby Driver' - Elvin, Warren and Bryant all give it a Hell Yeah because of its combination of visceral action scenes and usage of music, whereas Audy thought Edgar Wright was trying to hard to replicate Quentin Tarentino,and was a pale imitation to a much superior same genre movie 'Drive. Next Audy, conducts an exit survey of Baby Driver by asking questions to the rest of the panelists, such as exactly "On a scale of 1 to 10 how punchable is Ansel Egort's face?". Then Lastly, Warren, Audy and Elvin review the Columbia Pictures/Marvel Studios joint venture - "Spiderman: Homecoming. Warren and Elvin gave it a "Hell Yeah" review, while Audy gave it a "Hell No" and felt that Spider-man deserved a better movie than what was given with the disjointed action scenes, banal music score along with very rough amateur direction from Jon Watts.  This week's guests hosts:    1. Bryant Foster  2. Warren James  Film Ratings   Baby Driver - 2.0 stars and "Hell No" don't go see it! (Audy)                     3.5 stars and "Hell Yeah" go see it!
