Hot take: Nobody is inherently a good leader. Being a leader is a learned skill. What does it really take to be a good leader?  It's not about being perfect, having all the answers, or walking in like a natural-born boss! Leadership is messy, vulnerable, and learned.  In this episode, my unofficial co-host (and leadership guru) Jessica Winder is back to break it all down.  We talk about why vulnerability is a must (not an option), how to lead when you have zero authority, and why leadership isn't a natural-born trait—it's a skill you grow over time.

As I was sifting through the reactions of family, friends, and coworkers online, feelings of excitement and feelings of sadness were all over the place, and it was a lot to think about.

In this episode I dive deep with visual artist Jared Freschman about his personal spiritual journey. We talk about the importance of finding new modes of spiritual identity. We talk about how organized religion typically doesn't create space for Queer people and how that drove him to find his own way of connecting to the mystical and magical components of life.  We talk about the influence Tarot and Astrology has had on him, as well as his own Jewish background.  We discuss the power of art to carve out these new kinds of spiritual spaces for people like himself.  We also dive into his own personal color theory and his approach to creating these powerful, personal expressions of his own spiritual identity.   --------------- Jared Freschman (b. 1996) is a Jewish-American artist based in NYC. Originally from Hockessin, Delaware. He received his BFA from Pratt Institute in 2018. Freschman also studied abroad in Jerusalem, Israel/ Palestine at Bezalel School of Art and Design. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn.Jared Freschman's fluid compositions conjure the hidden spiritual practices of today's queer youth. Ombré fades and jewel-tone color palettes open a door to nostalgic, dream-like memories. Freschman illustrates allegories that combine vivid flashbacks, mysticism, and hyper-feminine archetypes that own the composition. He builds a liminal space where control lies in the hands of queer individuals. Perspectives shift from first to third person, and the artist's lived experiences mingle with those of a broader queer collective.Freschman has exhibited his work internationally at Field Projects (NYC), Eve Leibe Gallery (London), PRIOR Art Space (Barcelona), The National Arts Club (NYC), The Untitled Space (NYC), Project Gallery V (NYC), GIFC (Norway), The Museum of American Illustration (NYC), Cooler Gallery (Brooklyn), The Delaware Contemporary (Wilmington, DE), Israel Illustration Week (Tel Aviv), Gallery 102 (Washington DC), The Delaware Art Museum (Wilmington, DE). His work has been featured in Marie Claire Taiwan, Dirtybarn, Artforum, ARTpublika Magazine, AIGA Eye on Design, Working Not Working, The Drawing Stall, FORGE Art Magazine, and more. Freschman has also received awards from American Illustration & Society of Illustrators.

How does working remotely affect you maintaining employment or not? Why should workers step foot back in the office? Also Henry has a suggestion for who the Vikings should seek out in placement of Kirk Cousins and the reported amount he may be wanting for a contract. 

Are you running a Franken-Brand? A quick, inexpensive logo here. And then someone a few months later tries to write the brand strategy. And then another junior hire adds in graphics and you don't even know where they came from. Suddenly, you have this brand that is cobbled together, and no one on the team is feeling compelled. In part two of today's Free Time crossover episode, returning guest Adam Chaloeicheep and I are diving into the four personas of clients who are ready to do brand work.

What do a flying money emoji, a stray takeaway coffee cup, and a heart have in common? Those were the starting clues I brought to Adam Chaloeicheep and his cofounder Marisol at Together Agency before starting work on the Free Time brand—as now expressed in my latest podcast, website, and book. This is a two-part crossover from the Free Time podcast; this episode originally aired in November 2021. We're discussing the strategic thinking that goes into brand strategy long before the visual assets are produced, the biggest misconceptions clients have about the investment and process, and why brand is so important for a business. More About Adam: Adam Chaloeicheep is co-founder of Together agency with his wife, Marisol Dahl, who I had the great pleasure of working with for five years in the early days of JBE. Adam is a creative business leader with over a decade of experience in a variety of startup areas including product and service concepting, building teams, operations, and brand-focused design and digital solutions. He is one of my closest friends (12 years and counting!), and a creative business leader with over a decade of experience in product and service concepting, building teams, and brand strategy. Together Agency is behind every big brand I have launched into the world including Pivot and Free Time. ✅ Try This Next Sit with one of the creative questions from Together Agency's client intake/exploration survey: What texture is your brand? If your brand were a plant, which one would it be? A song?

Has your business brand become stale, perhaps to the point of being a liability? After a few years, especially with major pivots, you may run the risk of losing clients and credibility. Sometimes it's time for a tune-up and fresh tires, and sometimes, it's time for a whole new brand engine. As today's returning guest, my good friend and part of the team behind the award-winning Free Time brand, recently featured on Behance. Adam Chaloeicheep says, “It's about building the relationship with your customer. First impressions are really important.” If you haven't already, I suggest listening to our previous conversation first, 045: Behind the Free Time Brand with Adam Chaloeicheep, for a foundational overview of how Adam and team think about brand strategy more broadly. Today, we're diving into how to know when you're due for a rebrand.

A majority of my podcast episodes are business focused and trainings, but I wanted this episode to be different. The most meaningful conversations I have with you are ones when I share real bts and real lessons I'm learning in life. I'm in such a different season of life right now, one that is so precious and slow and hard and very very different than anything I'm used to.  In just 4 short weeks my life and perspective has changed a lot and  want to share my experience in hopes to inspire and empower you. As entrepreneurs we are constantly go go go.  Comparing ourselves to others and told to hustle in order to reach our goals. And while Ill be the first one to say I love setting and achieving goals, when it comes down to it that is not what life is about. Today I'm getting personal and sharing my birth story, things that are going well and not so well in my first month of maternity leave and some tips for slowing down if you're someone who is constantly on the move.  @byoliviaaustin byoliviaaustin.com/shop

Some people love to grind and work long days and on the weekends.  Some people like never to work outside of traditional hours. Some people  like to brag about how much they work. Other people like to brag about  how little they work. When should we work? Is there such a thing as too  much… The post Re-Listen: CAL NEWPORT on The Moral Weight of Working, Not Working, and Bragging About Both appeared first on The Growth Equation.

The draws are in, and Bayern Munich will face Villarreal in the Champions League quarter-finals, setting up a potential meeting with Liverpool in the semis (if we make it that far). Meanwhile, the club secured a solid 4-0 win over Union Berlin in the weekend — a welcome boost for Julian Nagelsmann following consecutive draws in the league. Plenty to talk about, transfer rumors included. In this episode, Tom and Ineednoname discuss: What has been working and not working for Julian Nagelsmann in recent weeks? Is the back-three system on its way out at Bayern? Why Alphonso Davies is the most crucial element of Bayern's Champions League campaign. Does Leon Goretzka immediately return to the team setup after his injury? Which Bayern midfield would Tom field against Liverpool? Talking about potential transfers — Matthias Ginter, Ryan Gravenberch, Mazraoui and the Raiola connection, Djed Spence, Pedro Porro, and more. Why Julian Nagelsmann should've given more chances to guys like Tanguy Nianzou and Omar Richards. Closing thoughts with the national team, how we want to see Germany line up with possibly David Raum added to XI and a strike partnership between Thomas Muller and Kai Havertz.

'The Importance of Honest Feedback' with Justin Gignac, Co-Founder & CEO of Working Not Working | Host of the Overshare Podcast, Artist, Speakerwww.MeettheCreatives.org

Justin Gignac is the co-founder of Working Not Working - a curated community of 80,000 of the best creatives in the world. Most businesses today are led and staffed by predominantly white people. Very, very few companies reflect society. Leaders are suddenly galvanized to fix this problem, publishing staffing numbers and pledging to hire diverse talent.  I believe them when they say it. I believe them when they say they’re going to work to create environments that support and embrace the emotional and cultural safety of every person. But the question that too few leaders are addressing is where will we find these people? If you're really going to fix this problem, you’re going to have look for talent in different places, define a successful candidate in different terms and hire in different ways.

In this bonus episode of Overshare Season 3, Working Not Working co-founder and CEO Justin Gignac hosts a roundtable conversation with two senior recruiters from highly-celebrated companies. Lauren Ranke is the Director of Creative Talent at Wieden+Kennedy and Chloe Harlig is the Senior Creative Recruiter at Squarespace. Both companies recently received some well-deserved acclaim from Ad Age, with Wieden+Kennedy winning Agency of the Year and Squarespace winning In-House Agency of the Year.This recording is from a live virtual event that took place on May 7th. Lauren and Chloe discuss how their hiring approaches have changed during quarantine, why self-initiated work is more important than ever, how they continue to keep their eyes trained on the future, and whether remote work will become the standard. Our digital audience of creatives, many of whom submitted thoughtful questions that Justin relayed to the recruiters, left the conversation feeling better educated on the thoughts and considerations of those who bring them work. They also left more hopeful. Because Lauren and Chloe were both so generous with insights, we're excited to share the full conversation with the creative community.Follow Overshare (@oversharetalks) and Working Not Working (@wnotw) on Instagram.SHOW NOTES:SquarespaceWieden+KennedyThe United 

In the season 3 finale of Overshare, host Justin Gignac sits down with Brooklyn-based photographer Jeremy Cohen, who has received A LOT of attention recently. Like most of us, Jeremy has had a lot of time on his hands these past couple of months. He’s used this time to think, to look out his window, to cook naked, and to cook up a quarantine record for the most romantic gesture.From his balcony, Jeremy could see his neighbors’ roofs. He started photographing and filming all of the activity: yoga, working out, kite flying, book reading, and dancing. But one neighbor stood out. He waved to her from his balcony. She waved back. He then taped his phone number to his drone and flew it across the street to her. That meet-cute has snowballed into "The Quarantine Cutie" romance, which has since taken over the internet. Millions of people have watched videos of him sending the drone, asking her out, and showing up to their date in a human-sized bubble to practice proper social distancing.Jeremy has offered not only a great distraction for all of us, but a reminder of our shared humanity. He has a great perspective on these times, as well as the personal and professional effects that come with suddenly having half a million Instagram followers.In this conversation, Jeremy discusses the whirlwind nature of these past couple months, which included landing his first magazine cover for New York Magazine. And well-timed with Mother’s Day, Jeremy also discusses the impact that his mother, a Stage IV cancer survivor, has had on his work as well as his positive outlook on life. This episode will help you keep your head up in these times, which makes it a great finale to this season.Follow Overshare (@oversharetalks) and Working Not Working (@wnotw) on Instagram. SHOW NOTES:Jeremy Cohen ( Working Not Working / Instagram / website )Jeremy's first drone flirtation to Tori across the streetBubble Boy date with ToriJeremy's cover of New York MagazineRoof Culture During Quarantine (Part 1  & Part 2)Enema of the State by Blink 182Deja and Entendu by Brand New"Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver

Directing Duo Clarence "Coodie" Simmons & Chike Ozah, better known as Coodie & Chike, have so much infectiously positive energy and perspective from all their years in the business. We're thrilled to have them on this week's episode of Overshare. Coodie & Chike started collaborating in the early 2000s and got their big break directing Kanye West’s music video “Through the Wire,” followed by music videos for “Two Words” and “Jesus Walks." They had less than two days to put "Jesus Walks" together from scratch, making it nothing short of a creative miracle, not to mention a classic. Their recounting of that experience with host Justin Gignac is a celebration in the art of scrappiness.Coodie & Chike went on to work with big acts like Pitbull, Erykah Badu, Lupe Fiasco, and Mos Def. In 2007, they founded their own production company, Creative Control. They’ve since directed ESPN "30 for 30" documentary Benji, BET documentary Muhammed Ali: The People’s Champ, and just released A Kid from Coney Island about Stephon Marbury.In this episode, you will learn that not having the time or money or resources to make great work are just excuses. You’ll also learn that wherever your happiness is coming from right now, that’s what really matters. This conversation is packed with insights and endless positivity.  Follow Overshare (@oversharetalks) and Working Not Working (@wnotw) on Instagram. SHOW NOTES:Coodie & Chike ( @officialcoodieandchike / @coodierock / @cozah)Kanye West's debut album The College DropoutChike's favorite craft cocktail bars - Dutch Kills, Dullboy, Pegu Club, Death & Co, Car Wash filmErnie Barnes' painting "The Sugar Shack"Bill WithersArtist Nina Chanel ( website / Instagram )Coodie's favorite album as a teenager, LL Cool J's BADChike's favorite album as a teenager Big Daddy Kane's Taste of ChocolateCoodie & Chike's videos for Kanye: Through the Wire, Two Words, Jesus WalksChannel Zero TVPitbull "Culo" music videoErykah Badu "Window Seat" music videoMatt & Kim "Lessons Learned" music video that inspired Erykah BaduLupe Fiasco feat.

He’s authored a memoir titled Running Man and has given inspiring talks to CEOs, marathon runners, the United States Armed Forces, and at think tanks and conferences.Charlie's not just any kind of runner; he does ultra marathons that test his limits. Testing limits is kind of Charlie's thing. Sometimes it's intentional: he ran across the entire Sahara Desert edge to edge, which had never been done before. Sometimes it's accidental: he's been to prison, and also kidnapped at gunpoint in Kenya. Now, Charlie is about to attempt his greatest feat and become the first athlete to trek from the lowest point to the highest point on every continent. It's a fitting pursuit for someone who has experienced extreme lows and repeatedly bounced back with equal highs.Charlie’s life has been anything but dull, and the way he’s responded is similarly dynamic. Luckily for all of us, Charlie is an open book, and talks about all of his hardships and moments of perseverance with complete candor in this conversation with host Justin Gignac.In this episode, you will learn how you are capable of so much more than you even know, and that there’s never the perfect time for anything.

It’s funny how there are some things you don’t know about your friends until you interview them for a podcast. Overshare host Justin Gignac has known Jonathan Jackson since 2006 after they both won the ADC Young Guns, but Justin learned a lot about his friend during this conversation that he never knew. Hopefully you listeners will learn a lot from this interview as well, and then go get to know Jonathan’s work.Jonathan Jackson is the co-founder and partner at Bushwick design studio  WeShouldDoItAll, which he started with his wife Sarah Nelson Jackson. The name is born out of a simple intention, that designers should not be confined to a singular expertise. In the words of Robert A. Heinlein, “specialization is for insects.”WSDIA has dabbled in everything, including branding, spatial, environmental, interactive, and print projects. They’ve collaborated with Nike, The National Museum of African American History and Culture, Spotify, Samsung, and ESPN. "I think it's human nature that people want to put a title on you or put you in a box in a certain way. We are constantly trying to fight that. Constantly trying to hold a mirror to ourselves and see how the world sees us and try to combat that."In this episode, you will learn the power of not having a self-limiting mindset, and how important it is to have diverse voices in the room when creating design and culture.Follow @OvershareTalks on Instagram.SHOW NOTES:Jonathan Jackson  Instagram WeShouldDoItAll ( website / Instagram )Usher's "U Don’t Have to Call" music videoSol Lewitt “Structures”Michael Sorkin ( Wiki / Sorkin Studio )Archea Frank Lloyd WrightLe CorbusierLudwig Mies van der RoheAdrien Menard WSDIA's first hireFormer Virginia Governor Doug WilderKendrick’s Control verseMen of Change, The Smithsonian traveling exhibitionThe National Museum of African American History & CultureScope of Work ( website / Instagram )Ralph Appelbaum AssociatesStudio LinPLAYLAB, INC.OK-RM LondonOMAHerzog & De MeuronPeterson Rich OfficeSo-iL

The widespread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) throughout the nation has placed uncertainty on us all. We are asked to quarantine ourselves and work from home. For some, the challenge is how do I schedule my work my day, with kids at home. For many, it means canceled events, lost wages and fear of not having jobs to return to once this is all over. Making a living as a freelancer and independent contractor has its rewards, but also has its challenges. When we don't work, we don't get paid. We also don't qualify for unemployment insurance and as of today (3.24.20) freelancers are not included in the COVID-19 aid package.  Today's guests Rafael Espinal President of the Freelancers Union talks to us about his efforts in making sure that freelancers and gig workers receive unemployment insurance. He's making great strides. Since speaking with him, Sen. Chuck Schumer's office reached out to the freelancers union and is pushing to expand coverage. How can we push this forward to congress? The Freelancers Union is urging the government to extend relief for freelancers impacted by COVID-19.

Archie Lee Coates IV is a founder and partner at PLAYLAB, INC., an extremely multi-disciplinary creative practice. With no particular focus, Archie and company simply explore things that interest them by initiating and working with others on ideas. Like + POOL, an initiative to build a water-filtering floating pool in New York’s East River.During this conversation, recorded live at On Air Fest, Archie discusses the roles that exploration and adventure play in aptly named PLAYLAB, INC's creative approach. "We don't have any goals as an office that are that specific. There's no financial goal. There's no size goal. There's a happiness and quality of life goal." Archie also talks creative belief systems, the feelings he's chasing to measure how far he's come and what he still aims to accomplish, and how he visualizes his legacy as a coffee table book. If his son would leaf through the accomplishments of his parents and say, “Our family is tight,” that would seal it. In this episode you will learn how to dream bigger, how to seek out that feeling of "I can't believe I'm doing this," and the importance of knowing when to check yourself when you're going through the motions.Follow @OvershareTalks on Instagram and Twitter. SHOW NOTES:Archie Lee Coates IV (Instagram / website)+ POOL (Instagram / website)Grown Up Flowers public art exhibitionVirgil Abloh "ARTWORK" book

This episode is from a live recording on stage in Cannes, France during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Host Justin Gignac has a beachside chat with street art legend Tristan Eaton.Tristan started pursuing street art as a teenager, painting everything from billboards to dumpsters in the urban landscapes of the cities where he lived. He created his first toy with Fisher-Price at the age of 18 and was and was at the forefront of the designer toy craze in the early 2000s with his work at KidRobot, creating the Dunny and Munny art toys.He is regularly commissioned by a roster of clients that includes Nike, Versace, and even Barack Obama. These days, Eaton is one of the most prominent street artists working today. His large scale mural work features a meticulous, visual collage of pop imagery mixed with his unique personal style, all executed with freehand spray paint on a colossal scale.In this conversation, Tristan discusses how toy design was a natural evolution from the world of street art, but why he ultimately felt a calling back to his roots. "Being deeply in the middle of Hypebeast culture and being a slave to people's shopping habits and how you make your art--that was never why I wanted to make art. I didn't want to retroactively design my art for a seasonal release-or a shopping habit."Tristan sees his creative career in chapters, but no matter the reinvention, he is forever cast under the spell of spray paint's alchemy. His art is a permanent catalyst in his own life. "A lot of my girlfriends in the past have hated my art because it's a strange force. It gives me my sense of who I am and my work ethic. Sometimes the people in your life want to be the ones that give you that. But I'm very lucky because I find this power and strength and peace from my own art."In this episode, you will learn the importance of self-reinvention to escape formulaic mediocrity, how to know if your subconscious is driving your work, and why inviting people into your own invented universe is perhaps the only way to get clients to give you free rein.Follow @OvershareTalks on Instagram and Twitter. SHOW NOTES:Tristan Eaton (Instagram / website)Tristan's "Legacy" series

She creates experiences in music, fashion, and technology, collaborating with the likes of Adidas, The New Yorker, Warby Parker, and Ghostly International. Shawna's work addresses themes like cultural identity, the creative process and more recently, motherhood.During the conversation, Shawna opens up about how her work has evolved with recent life changes, and why sometimes that means letting go of certain clients.

She also investigates what exists beyond surface-level goals. For Shawna, the bigger picture is freedom: of the mind, from pressures of society, from labels of motherhood and cultural expectations. The audience who she feels she has something to prove to is an audience of just one: her daughter Ren.In this episode, you will learn that doing CrossFit while pregnant is probably not the best way to train for childbirth. Also, how having doubt and self-sabotaging your work and maybe your sanity alongside that doubt can be a valuable part of the creative process. This is a conversation we were really excited to have and it does not disappoint.Follow @OvershareTalks on Instagram and Twitter. SHOW NOTES:Shawna X (Instagram / Working Not Working / website)Adam JK's "I literally do not know what I'm doing" hatF*** Your Manners exhibitionShawna's partner Collin HughesZipeng ZhuHassan Rahim makes Shawna jealous
