This past Saturday, August 31st, we celebrated the 3rd year anniversary of this podcast. With wanting to create a special piece about what the journey has been like getting the podcast to this point, I brought in my best friend, Dylan Reese who is an extremely talented recording artist that I live with at the Content Crib. He was a huge inspiration for me in launching this podcast and has been with me along the ride since the launch in 2016.
We discuss:
- What inspired the podcast to start
- The challenges faced in Year 1 in Boston
- The transition to Los Angeles for Year 2
- Building on the relationships I had
- What the goal is for Year 4
- My biggest hurdle is that I am my biggest critic
- We also discuss how consistency builds confidence, building an idea from the ground up, intent > results, pushing outside of our comfort zone and much more.

Since becoming an Uber Driver part time in April of 2015 and going full-time in July of 2016, I’ve used this platform to fund all of my creative ventures. As of today I’ve completed 18,635 trips with an average rating of 4.97 out of 5 stars. I think it’s safe to say the bearded man is in fact the BEST in the BUSINESS!
Hopefully one day Uber will cut me a check for all this good promo!
Full conversation with Dylan Reese, What It Took To Get Here | 3 Year Podcast Anniversary, talking about the last 3 years of Purpose in the Youth will be dropping THIS Friday, September 6 on all platforms.

This Saturday, August 31, will mark the 3 year anniversary of launching this podcast.
It amazes me how fast time can fly by when you’re head down, focused and putting in that work day after day trying to build your baby into a monster. Since the jump, I’ve treated this project as if my back was against the wall and the only direction I could move was forward. The mindset was, there is no option B, we will find a way to make this work - to go all in.
So what does it take to go all in?
- Discipline
- Consistency
- Patience
- Self-belief
- Work Ethic
- Health
- Willingness To Learn
- Sacrifices
- Responsibility
- Gratitude

JZAC is a hip-hop artist from New Hampshire. During his sophomore year at Plymouth State University he recorded his first song on his friends Macbook internal microphone. The passion grew quickly and so he decided to go all in and bought himself recording equipment, software and began investing all of his time and energy into the craft.
Graduating with an Integrated Marketing & Communications degree, he worked at a local Frito-Lays warehouse and Market Basket to continue funding the music career.
What helped gain him exposure early on was creating freestyle videos that would go viral on Twitter. With all the inbound traffic he was getting from the videos, he was prepared and had some of his newest projects and singles for people to check out or music videos they could watch.
Fast forward seven plus years since he started writing and recording, he’s now living in LA full-time off of his music. What he believes separates himself from other artists is his ability to be honest and authentic by telling his story and his truths. He hopes the music inspires and is relatable to what other people may be going through in their life.
In this episode he discusses the importance of shooting your shot, why we must always be prepared and ready to go, why we shouldn’t be afraid to step outside of our comfort zone, hit “post” and keep it moving and even if the path isn’t clear, create the blueprint.

I treat the content I consume on social media as if it’s a diet. I’ve been constantly cutting out all the junk and doing my best to only consume the “pieces” that are helping me, inspiring me or entertaining me.
This isn’t about me trying to be the “cool” kid in town that follows less people than the number of people that follow the bearded man. This is about me getting super disciplined about the images, videos, text etc that I consume on a day to day basis. All of these pieces of content are fueling my mind and I want that premium quality baby, FILL ME UP!
For the people or pages I do follow, I let their success inspire me to keep going. Thank you for the daily inspo! Seeing these people succeed in all areas of life gets me hyped! There is no time to fall into the comparison trap of getting jealous, there’s only time for me to make moves myself.
If I’ve realized anything it’s that there’s enough room for everyone to win. Period. It doesn't matter what your career goals might be. If you see someone doing something you want to do, go do it. Let them be the example that it’s possible!

Peiman Raf is the Co-Founder of Madhappy, an optimistic lifestyle brand. After graduating from the University of Michigan in 2016, he became an Investment Banking Analyst for Jefferies Financial Group in NYC. Just 3 months into his position and not feeling himself, he took a leave of absence to return home to Los Angeles, CA to see doctors about what he was going through. Feeling better and in a much clearer headspace, he decided to leave his position completely and stay in LA.
Wanting to create a brand around optimism while shining light on mental health in a positive way, Peiman, his brother Noah Raf and friends Joshua Sitt and Mason Spector came together to create Madhappy. Starting with just a hoodie, hat and t-shirt, they have evolved into offering head to toe apparel. Their Classic line is minimal, comfy and curated to be worn for multiple occasions. Since launch in April of 2017, they’ve hosted 9 pop-up events in New York, Miami, Aspen and Los Angeles. Whether it’s panels at their pop-up events, hosting mediation courses or curating positivity in their content, they’re the local optimistic group.
In this episode Peiman discusses the importance of moving on and starting a new chapter, the reality that everyone experiences some form of mental health, why it’s okay to put down the phone and disconnect, having a competitive mindset to do whatever it takes and why we should all strive to make the world a more optimistic place.

Today we’re getting an inside look at MVMT’s office in Playa Vista, CA with their Brand Director Blake Pinsker aka "Blakey P" for Episode 4 of What They DON’T See.
Originally from Valencia, CA, Blake got a message from MVMT’s Co-Founder Jake Kassan (Ep 113) with an opportunity to help build this watch brand from the ground up in 2013. Having just recently graduated from San Diego State University and bouncing from job to job, he jumped on the opportunity and went all in.
One of their early brand building strategies was to work with creatives that lived their philosophy of living life on your own terms. They’ve built some incredible relationships with content creators Sam Kolder, That One Blond Kid (Ep 71), Matt Komo (Ep 105), Jacob Riglin (Ep 108), Rory Kramer (Ep 110) and more. Fast forward to August of 2018, MVMT announced they were to be acquired by Movado Group for $100 Million. Today they now offer eyewear and jewelry for both guys & gals.
To learn more about Blake’s story, check out Episode 87 - Finding The Right People of this podcast.

The key is creating routines that reinforce our new habits that will help us achieve whatever our goals might be.
Routines Breed Habits:
- Write A Contract To Yourself (enforces commitment)
- This is what I want to do and there is no option B
- Stick it to your wall, background on Phone, sticky note in car
-
Pick a certain day of week or time of day you’re going to do “the thing” (reinforces discipline)
- Weekly podcast, gym 6 days a week
- When it hits that “time” you know it’s time to do the thing
-
Focusing In On ONE step forward TODAY (builds consistency)
-
Forget about how long it’ll take, we’ll eventually get there
-
Assess progress, make changes & keep going
-
How is my progress?
- What’s working? What changes do I need to make?
- Repeat, repeat, repeat.
These Habits don’t magically happen overnight, they take weeks or even months to build. How long something will take is besides the point, that time will eventually come!

Over the course of 2 years of creating visual and audio content, you guys + gals have followed along with the journey of the bearded man. The podcasting, the behind the beard (scenes) vlogs and all the other DOPE stuff we’ve been doing. Now it’s time to get down to the REAL SHIT!
5 Honest Truths You Don’t Know About me:
- I had to see a therapist in 3rd grade
- I am the slowest reader of ALL TIME
- I am terrible with remembering names
- My eye for design is HORRIBLE
- I have NOT been on a date since March of 2017
So what’s the point? We’re human. We have our flaws, our weaknesses and that makes us no less of a human than the person next to you. If you own it, standby it, then nobody can call you out! BE YOU BABY…. BE YOU!

- Made realize the importance of consistency
- Provided me a platform to network with people
- Showed me there is no such thing as failure
- Allowed me to just be my authentic self

In the beginning of this year I had a burnout. I had just gotten back from visiting family on the East Coast for the holidays and when I got back to LA, I put my pedal to the medal and had a breakdown.
6 months later, I’m much more conscious about how hard I work and have found ways to avoid that ever happening again.
These are the 5 steps that I follow:
- Prioritizing My Health
-
- Physically in the gym, mentally keep a clear headspace and making sure I fuel myself with the right foods.
- Communicating With Family + Friends
-
- Sending a text or face timing loved ones, showing appreciation to the people that inspire me etc.
- Pump The Breaks!
-
- When I feel a burn out coming, I pump the break and toss in the towel for the day.
- Counting The Small Wins Daily
-
- Counting the 1-3 smalls win a day helps fuel the fire inside me to keep going. These small wins WILL add up!
- Everything Great Takes Time
-
- Being at peace knowing that it will take a lot of patience to accomplish these goals.

Bearded Man followers! Epic interview I have to share out with you today that I did on The Wellness Hustle Podcast a couple weeks back with Kirstie Taylor. We talked about growing up in Chicopee, MA, why I launched this podcast and how important it has been to treat it as if there are 10 million people listening every week.
The Wellness Hustle Podcast is about empowering a shift in focus to what truly matters: ourselves. Work hard play hard isn’t cutting it anymore; we’ve been focusing on the wrong hustle. Intended to inspire a true shift in your life, this podcast will cut through the wellness BS that’s out there, chat with industry leaders, and have candid talks with real people who went through real struggles and how they overcame them. Real talks. Real advice. Real change.

One of his newest passion is running which helps him keep a clear headspace. Aside from a couple tracks being co written, his most recent project, Killing Time, was produced, written, recorded, engineered, mixed and mastered by himself which he’s most proud of. If he had to give himself any advice for when he was first getting started, it be to not be afraid.
In this episode Mike discusses vague goals produce vague results, gratitude is the antidote to anxiety & fear, create your dream job if it doesn’t already exist and why we must make decisions faster.

You win the morning, you win the day. If you happen to follow the bearded man on Instagram (@bobbbaaaay), you see me toss that same phrase up every single morning when I’m just getting into the gym. I’m not sure where I first heard or read it but it stuck with me and is something that I live by.
I’ve realized that I’m a morning person but i’ve also realized that what works for me might not work for you. As I go through this blog post please know that I am not here to tell you this IS the key to jump starting your day… this just so happens to be what I have found as my perfect morning routine.
Let’s call this one, the bearded formula.

Gianni DeBernardo and Kyle Devore are recording artists that work together as a duo called gianni & kyle. They recently wrapped up their first tour opening for Hoodie Allen in 30+ cities across the US and 9 cities in Europe. Their plan for the rest of 2019 is to keep putting out music that they enjoy creating and hopefully lock in their first headlining tour come this fall.
Kyle was born in Long Beach, CA and moved to Annapolis, MD when he was in 6th grade where he & Gianni were both raised. It wasn’t until their freshman year of South River high school where they connected during a tech class. Fast forward to their senior year, both making music, Kyle reached out saying he was a fan of Gianni’s music. Hesitant at first and wanting to focus on a solo career, Gianni eventually gave into the idea of forming a duo.
Knowing college would buy them more time to work on their careers, Gianni went on to study at the University of Maryland and Kyle went to Rowan University. After one year, Kyle left school and started working full-time. After Gianni finished college and they performed their first show, they packed their bags and moved to Los Angeles with their team. The first 6 months were rough as they were sleeping on friends couches and studio floors but with time they were able to get on their own two feet.
Now at a great spot in their career, they’re excited for what has yet to come. Aside from music, they hope to to push themselves to grow into all around entertainers and maybe one day do sketch comedy.
In this Episode gianni & kyle discuss the importance of connecting with fans, what has changed the most about them since working with each other, the benefits of understanding the entire process of the music industry, why now is the time to take risks and having the mindset that this is going to work.

The fear of missing out sucks. We all have those moments we wish we could be here, we wish we could be there but it’s usually impossible. Unless you have a Black American Express credit card with unlimited credit, you probably have to pick and choose between what you say yes to and what you say no to.
The no’s have to come more than the yeses and if we’re being completely honest, it’s a bummer.
We see everyone “living it up” at that birthday party, that networking event or in this case at Coachella but sometimes we just need to ignore it. We need to not get so consumed in living other people's lives and just live ours.

Today I'm sharing out a conversation I had on The Healthy Hustle Podcast presented by MATI Energy back in February with Jacob Burt. We cooked up some high quality podcasting content in the bedrudio where we flipped the script and Jacob interviewed me!
99.99% of the content I produce is about other people and as much as I enjoy creating it, I think it's equally important that you guys + gals get to know my story, where I come from, early lessons I learned as a child, what my college years looked like, the process/inspiration for launching Purpose in the Youth etc.
If there is any big takeaway from this podcast it's that turning a passion into a reality can be done by any of YOU! Beneath this beard of mine is just another person who is trying to make a living doing what he loves. Hopefully my story / journey inspires someone out there. Just know... THE BEARDED MAN CANNOT / WILL NOT BE STOPPED!

Georges Niang is a 6’8", 230lb power forward for the Utah Jazz. If there is one thing that has changed the most about him since entering the NBA in 2016, it’s realizing what truly matters to him is living and experiencing life with the people that mean the most to him.
Born and raised in Metheun, MA, he knew he wanted to be an NBA player since he was a child. Not having any professional athletes come from his hometown, he wanted to be an example that it was possible. Being raised by biracial parents heavily influenced him in a positive way as he was able to live and see the world from two different perspectives.
He attended Titlon School in New Hampshire where he was a 3 year starter, 2 year captain scoring 2,372 points. Getting offers from University of Iowa, Providence College & Texas A&M, he committed and played at Iowa State. After graduating, he entered the 2016 NBA draft where he was selected as the 50th overall pick from the Indiana Pacers.
After 1 year with the Pacers and a year playing in the G-League for the Santa Cruz Warriors, he now has a standard contract with the Utah Jazz where he rocks number 31. Taking his career step by step, developing routines and being proactive about his health has been crucial in getting him to where he is today. He says the key to staying focused and calm during games is being present and doing his absolute best.
In this Episode George discusses success isn’t a place it’s the journey, recognizing that our time is valuable, don’t ever think you can’t achieve something and why you should always put your best foot forward.

Have you ever felt anxious? Overwhelmed with the amount of tasks on your “to-do” list? Have you found yourself being stressed out before you could even roll out of bed? If you’ve check off all three boxes look no further… do I have a product for you!
Good news, what I’m about to sell you is absolutely free. All that I ask is that you share the message and spread it to someone in need.
Lots of people say to live your life one day at a time and although I completely agree and have preached this concept in my content before I want to take it a step further.
Live your life one breath at a time. That’s the only thing both you and I can control. This moment. Not what has yet to come, not what has happened yesterday… this very moment.
What is scary is that we could spend our whole lives never actually being in the moment. Constantly thinking about what’s next when everything we have ever dreamed of or worked towards is right in front of us right now.

Mike Squires is a director, filmmaker, photographer & music producer. While in NYC recently, he saw a photo he had taken and a logo that he had designed on a billboard in Times Square. For him it was a reminder that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
Born & raised in Stamford, CT, his parents supported his creative endeavors from day 1. Working a landscaping job all summer while he was 16, he saved up enough money to buy used camera equipment. Just two months later, he was on stage shooting Big Sean. One of the hardest moments he faced in his childhood was having his house burn down and losing everything. Instead of letting this experience hold him back it taught him a valuable lesson, that everything is replaceable.
Although he knew he wanted to follow a creative career, he attended Norwalk Community College to appease other family members. With time he decided to drop out as he was beginning to get bigger opportunities offered to him. In the past he’s shot videos for artists Sammy Adams, Yonas, Devvon Terrell & two previous guests of this podcast Cam Meekins (Ep 72) and Abstract (Ep 96). Whether it’s through visuals or music production he aspires to inspire the people that support him.
In this Episode he discusses why we should never stop learning, his favorite quote “if you do nothing, nothing happens”, the small wins add up, how to build confidence and why we need to believe before the world does.

For too long I have overthought putting out written blogs or as I like to call it, written CONTENT, because I simply did not think I was good enough. For someone who does whatever he wants without respectfully caring what people have to say about it, it’s a bit shocking.
Today that comes to an end with my first blog post since 2017 titled, I’m Done Giving A Fck* in my new blog series, Bearded Man Thoughts.
I understand people are busy and are on the go so I wanted to record myself reading it out loud which you're not hearing today, enjoy!

Futuristic is more than just a recording artist, he’s also an entrepreneur. From touring around the world, having his own clothing line Sheeesh World, writing his first book The Declaration Of Independents, owning his own retail store Guest List and running a creative studio out of his second home, he enjoys bringing his ideas to life.
Born and raised in Bloomington, IL, he knew at the age of 6 he wanted to make a career out of music. His father heavily influenced him growing up as he played the drums, bass guitar and was also a DJ. Moving to Tempe, AZ during high school was refreshing for him and it became the environment he started to really build his career by performing at local shows. After 1 year studying at Mesa Community College he dropped out to pursue music full-time.
2015 was the year things started to fall into place. His album The Rise debuted at #2 on iTunes, he performed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon as well as in front of the 47th Vice President Joe Biden and CEO of Apple Tim Cook. Fast forward to 2019, he has created a world for himself that gives him the freedom to do what he wants, when he wants. It wasn’t by pure luck, it was from working hard, staying focused and not getting complacent.
In this Episode Futuristic discusses the importance of being around people that push us to be better, everything is possible you just have to go for it, creating a list holds us accountable, everybody's path is different and a reminder to always stay authentic to you.

Carly Stein is the founder of Beekeeper’s Naturals. Bringing the superfoods from the hive to consumers through their products such as propolis spray, honey, B.XLR Brain Fuel, and honey sticks, they’re helping people live healthier than ever.
Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, at around the age of 11 Carly found out she had an autoimmune disease that rejected any & all antibiotics. She attended University of Victoria as a Psychology & Biology major. While studying abroad and getting severe tonsillitis in Italy, she was recommended to try propolis, a product that stemmed from plants and tree resin used to line beehives and protect them from germs. It was this moment that completely changed her life as it healed her without any reactions to her body.
After graduating she worked at a hedge fund and then as a trader for Goldman Sachs. What started as a passion project to help herself, accidentally turned into a business. With a demand for Beekeepers Naturals products and coworkers telling her not to leave her career, she quit and devoted all of her energy to helping people through these superfoods. Today they’re a team of 15 focused on practicing sustainable beekeeping in all of their production as well as educating the role bees play in the world.
In this Episode Carly discusses doing what is best for us & not caring what people think, having a fancy job but living like a college student, take a step back and giving our brain a break, helping people reach their full potential and how our choices define us.

Nicholas Jandora is a music video director also known as Jandora Media. In the past he has worked with recording artists Lil Skies, Landon Cube, Yung Pinch, Lil Gnar and more. Being genuine, humble and selective with who he works with has helped him get to where he is today.
Born and raised in Martinsburg, West Virginia, he started making YouTube sketch comedy videos with his friends in high school. He attended Shepherd University for 1.5 years and then transferred to West Virginia University where he majored in Visual Journalism. Even with professors, friends and family suggesting he get a job after graduating, he saw the success other music video directors were having which gave him the confidence to go for it.
Working with local artists in the beginning taught him how to maneuver and understand what his self-worth was. Instead of taking constructive criticism personally, he uses it to help better prepare himself for his next project. He has surrounded himself with other music video directors such as Cole Bennett and Lonewolf who all encourage and enjoy seeing each other succeed. If there was any advice he’d give to his younger self it be to keep working.
In this Episode Nicholas discusses seeing his work inspire others to chase their passions is what makes him happy, collaborating helps us create the best results, manifesting something from nothing, you have to lose in order to win, what scares him the most is being stagnant and understanding that every story is different.

Kim Rose is an artist with a focus on marble fine art and minimalist line drawings. She is the founder of Mission Marisol, a nonprofit that uses fine art as a way to bring funds and awareness to kids in Tijuana, Mexico. This past November they nearly raised $50k at The Charity Art Auction.
Born and raised in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, her mother influenced her early on to “let her imagination run wild.” As a kid, she visited Mexico on mission trips with her family to help the community and it gave her perspective that not everyone grows up in the same environment. She studied at Azusa Pacific University as a business management major with a minor in fine arts. Seeing first hand from a media marketing internship the money that was being poured into Instagram influencers, she graduated and continued to build the Kim Rose Art brand.
The journey of finding her style has taken time and is continuously evolving. Through social media, her pieces have been purchased and shipped all over the world. Being resilient and continuing to learn have been some of the biggest lessons she has learned from being an entrepreneur. Moving forward she would like to do more creative collaborations and see Mission Marisol have a greater impact on the kids in Mexico.
In this Episode Kim discusses don’t be afraid to ask questions, the fear of failure helps us keep going, take calculated chances, using the market to help us price our services and why we must be forever curious.

Connor Woolpert is the founder of Adventure Aide. An app designed to help users find unique adventures in their city, it’s connecting people and getting them to step outside.
Born and raised in San Luis Obispo, CA, he has always had the itch to “do more” since he was a child. With basketball being one of his earliest passions, he was heads down trying to push himself to his greatest potential. He attended San Diego State University to play ball but having failed both a drug and physical test, his father being diagnosed with cancer at the time, he packed his bags and headed back home.
What was a dark period for him ended up being one of the best challenges he had to overcome. He worked out and read books daily, kept to himself and landed on this idea of Adventure Aide.

Jesse Coren is the founder of Mutual Friends, an artist collective and management company that works with recording artists Quinn XCII, Chelsea Cutler, Jeremy Zucker and ayokay. In April of 2018 he partnered with Visionary Music Group, the label and management group home to both Grammy-nominated rapper Logic and singer, songwriter and producer Jon Bellion.
Born and raised in Dix Hills, NY, he was very passionate with music from a young age. He went to the business school at the University of Maryland with interest in working in the entertainment industry. During the summer of his freshmen year, he interned with dGi Management and from that moment moving forward he knew music management was going to be his career path.
After graduating college he moved to NYC to work full-time for dGi where he learned the fundamentals of being a music manager. As he began to slowly build genuine relationships with his now artists, he left his job to start his own venture with his friends, Mutual Friends.
In this episode Jesse discusses when working with amazing people we strive to get better, we can’t expect people to give us what we want, the importance of feeding the fanbase no matter the size, enjoying the process as much as the results and a simple reminder that there’s enough room for everyone to win.

Mitchell Mullins is a visual content creator. In 2018 alone he spent 300 days on the road traveling the world for both client and his own personal work. He has learned to let his work speak for himself and he hopes through it, it helps lead, instill confidence and inspire others to chase their passions every second of everyday.
Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, his childhood was filled with creativity. He first picked up a camera at the age of 11 to record his brother on a trampoline and never seemed to put it down. After finishing up high school he attended Savannah College of Art and Design with intent to study film. 6 months later, not satisfied with school, he dropped out, bought a flight to California and joined his buddy Jackson Thomas on a road trip.
While driving on the freeway in the early morning of April 13, 2017, their 15 passenger van blew out one of its front tire which led to the van swerving and flipping 6 times before landing right side up. Mitchell’s friend Jackson who was driving at the time had to be airlifted to the nearest hospital. Fortunately, they both survived this traumatic accident and so he tattooed the word “alive” with a line through it on his wrist as a mark of gratitude which he is reminded of daily.
In this episode Mitchell discusses the importance of letting off the gas pedal & reflecting, the benefits of watching and listening to other people, how to avoid the comparison trap, why fulfillment is a higher version of happiness and why we must tell our truth.

Earlier this week I broke down and it was a wake-up call that I cannot continue to push myself to work as hard as I am. I don't have the exact blueprint of how I'm going to make changes moving forward but I'm going to try and figure it out as I go.
A lot of my content is and will always be high energy / positivity but it would be wrong for me not to talk about a moment like this. We're all human beings with emotions and the best way to get through something is to talk about it.

Molives is your flight attendants favorite flight attendant. You might bump into him 30,000 feet in the sky with Southwest Airlines or see him in one of their most recent commercials. Ever wondered what the lifestyle of a career path like this might look like? Look no further - he documents his travels and conversations with crew members on his YouTube Channel.
Born and raised in Lincoln, Rhode Island, at birth he was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, a genetic disease that affects your lungs and digestive system. His parents treated him no different and always taught him to give 100% in anything that he did in his life. After spending 3 semesters at the University of Rhode Island, he dropped out and worked towards getting his first pair of wings for a regional airline before switching to Virgin America and now Southwest.
With a passion for videography he launched his YouTube channel and started his Mystery Flights series where his fans and followers select a destination for him to travel to anywhere in the world. The flight is booked for the same day, he purchases wifi onboard, researches what to do in the selected city, vlogs the trip and takes his audience along for the adventure.
In this episode Molives discusses the training to becoming a flight attendant, the craziest experience he’s ever had in the sky, having a goal and going for it, learning to communicate with different cultures, finding what makes you smile and learning to play the hand you're dealt.

2018 was probably one of the greatest years of my life. It was the year I saw dreams come true and it was a taste of what I could accomplish if I manifested my goals into reality.
If there is 1 thing money can’t buy you, it’s time. The clock keeps ticking and there is nothing we can do about it. Are we gonna sit on our ass and let our life happen before our eyes or are we going to make something of it?
I can’t tell you how to live your life, I can only show you how I decide to live mine.
2019 let me give you a little heads up… there's a guy by the name of Bobbbaaaay or some know him as the world's favorite bearded man. He’s on a mission, and he will not / cannot be stopped.

Most recently they launched their marketplace where people can now shop online for some of the hottest brands through their platform.

He grabbed the attention of Nike through his “My Story Isn’t Over Yet” video and was then featured in their highly controversial “Dream Crazy” 30 year anniversary commercial with Colin Kaepernick.

Rory Kramer is a professional videographer and life liver. In the past he’s worked for Justin Bieber, Kanye West and The Chainsmokers. He is the creator behind MTV’s Dare to Live, a show forcing music stars like Shawn Mendes, Martin Garrix and Khalid out of their comfort zones.
Born and raised in Tell City, Indiana, his father owned a restaurant and his mother was a nurse. Spending his summers in Clear Lake, Indiana, his Lake Life videos ultimately became the foundation for his career. Although he was sure that video was what he wanted to do, his father influenced him to attend Indiana University.
Eventually he moved out to Los Angeles, CA where he took the first job that he could find. What seemed like a good 6-month gig quickly turned into 4 years. He hated the job so much he would sneak vodka through a water bottle into work. With an opportunity to create videos for 3LAU, an american DJ, he left his job and never went back.
It isn’t pure luck he is where he is today, as he would say… “I put in my damn time!” His life motto, RUN IT!, is a reminder for us to all continue pushing forward even when fear tries to hold us back.
In this episode Rory discusses that if you want something you have to earn it, taking care of ourselves helps us be prepared mentally, being aware of how much social media we consume, a near death accident rolling his car changed his perspective and the importance of listening to your thoughts.

If we can’t love ourselves, how do we expect others to love us? Over the past 2+ years of going down this self-development path, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to find myself and trying to find the answers to these questions:
What are my goals?
What do I see myself doing as a career?
Who are the types of people I want to surround myself with?
What is the big picture?
We shouldn’t need to rely on a “special someone” to bring us happiness in our life, they should only be a bonus. We need to focus on doing what is best for US and let everything else fall into place.

There are somedays you feel like the world is yours and others where the world is up against you. Believe me we all have those days, myself included!
What I tend to do is take a step back, close my eyes and breathe. I think about all the positive things that are in my life and remind myself that there is most definitely someone else out there in this world that has it worse than me. I open my eyes and get back to it.
Take a moment today and try it or anytime that you feel stressed out.

As the great Gary Vee once said, "Don't tear down any buildings in the city, build the tallest one." We can't worry about what other people are doing or we can't waste our time trying to "knock down" whatever they're "building". We're not going to talk trash, we're not going to be a bad person - we're going to let our work speak for us.
What makes a city beautiful is the amount of people, energy and opportunities that there are within it. If we went around burning down everyone buildings (their dreams), we'd have no city and no one to enjoy it with.

Thane Marcus Ringler is an entrepreneur, collaborator, speaker, a host of The Up & Comers Show podcast, author behind From Here To There: A Quarter-Life Perspective On The Path To Mastery and an ex-professional golfer.
Born and raised in Hutchinson, Kansas he first picked up a golf club at the age of 3. Falling in love with the sport he headed west to The Masters University in Santa Clarita, CA where he was the captain of the golf team for 2 years. After graduating, he spent the next 3.5 years working on his game until he faced an injury that left him with no other option but to make a career change into everything that he has going on today.
One of the biggest lessons he learned from the game of golf is to take ownership of who you’re, what you’re doing and where you’re trying to go. Through his podcast he hopes to provide value to the up & comers of the world and help them learn how to live a good life. His book From Here To There provides a framework to help those traveling down the path of mastery more efficiently and effectively. He also coaches, consults and creates for those in need of his service.
In this episode Thane discusses how clearing our headspace is crucial, although a lot of things are out of our control we can determine our preparation & our mindset, the importance of discipline of doing what you don’t want to do, why we’re always better with teammates and why we should never fear dead ends.

Yes there was a point in time I was nervous of what people might think of me but with time I became much more confident. In a recent podcast with Matt Komo he said, “confidence comes from repeated action” and I couldn’t agree more.
The hardest part is starting something. Once you do, it’s always a work in progress of you trying to get better at it.

Comparing yourself to other people is a recipe for disaster. There is always going to be someone that's "ahead of you" with whatever you're trying to do but it should never steer you away.
If you ever find yourself in this low moment, flip the switch and bring up the positivity & energy!

This week we brought in Blake Pinsker (Ep 87) Director of Marketing for Mvmt, Brandin Cohen (Ep 99) Founder of Liquid I.V. and Steven Borrelli (Ep 103) Founder of CUTS to talk about entrepreneurship and what it takes to be successful in the E-Commerce world of 2018.
Throughout this Groupisode we dip into some of their first hustles/job they had growing up, why they choose to major business in college, biggest sacrifices they made early on in their careers, the key ingredient to being a successful entrepreneur/brand today, creating a customer customer experience that gets people to come back but also how to battle the fires when customers are not happy and how they plan to change the world through their businesses.
We also discuss Mvmt being acquired by Movado Group for $100 Million, Liquid I.V. builds relationships with Scooter Braun, Kygo & Adam Eaton. Putting on your blinders and going all in, learning how to say no to things that don’t help us move forward, getting small wins and building on them and why in order to succeed, we must burn the ships.

Steven Borrelli is the Founder + CEO of Cuts.
Born and raised in Wenatchee, WA, he headed south to San Diego State University and was a Marketing Major. After graduating and trying both sales and real estate careers, he decided to launch Cuts, The Only Shirt Worth Wearing.
He moved back home, worked full-time and spent his free time putting together and fine tuning the details of what Cuts would represent. To kick off his launch he started a Kickstarter and raised $42,000 within the first month that was supported by 22+ countries.
He’s created a shirt for the men who’re driven, confident, contemporary and living with purpose. Customers select from three different cuts and three different collars keeping what we wear most simple, yet sophisticated. Just recently Cut’s established a brand partnership with videographer, content creator and world traveler Matt Komo.
In this episode Steven discusses you gotta go against everyone and stick to the vision, the struggles help us get you to where we want to go, be curious and put yourself out there, let things/relationships happen naturally and the mindset that no matter what, this is going to work.

I got a DM the other day from Noah Tondari asking why I have a separate Instagram page for the podcast and one for me personally. Great question that I thought some of you guys + gals might care to hear or learn why.
I think it's super important to separate your business & personal branding. In my case, some people might want to follow/see just podcast content and on the other hand they might just want to follow/see "Bobbay" content. Of course we want people to love both but that's not how it works.
Separate business + personal branding. It will payoff in the long haul.

Justin Escalona is a YouTuber, filmmaker, entrepreneur, model and soon to be A&R. He’s the creator of YouTube series “Daily Docs” and the founder of 1340 Collective. He has brand deals with Axe, Reebok and was even the face of Journey’s which landed him on the front cover of their magazine.
Raised in Palatine, Illinois, hockey and film were two of his biggest passions. After being rejected by every film school he applied to, he got accepted to the University of Southern California and headed west for college.
Wanting to force himself to create on a daily basis he launched “Daily Docs” documenting his life in Los Angeles. Fast forward to Season 4 that fired up in August, the series has completely elevated as he travels to different cities, concerts and events throughout the country.
His clothing brand 1340 Collective started in his dorm room and has grown into a Million dollar business. He held his first pop-up shop on Melrose here in LA back in July and looks to bring this idea to other cities in the future.
What’s next for him? Full Circle, a tv series about things he enjoyed growing up and how it’s shaped him into who he is today as well as Escalona Music Group, an A&R group that helps connect young artists with the right people.
In this episode Justin discusses if you’re confident with what you do people will respect you, take time to build relationships with your customers, don’t put all your eggs into one basket, treat everyone with the same respect and be open to the roller coaster.

Ryan Westberg is the Co-Founder of Serengetee, a lifestyle brand that incorporates fabrics from all over world into their products. Since launch, he as been able to travel to more than 80+ countries around the globe.
Born and raised in Fairfield, CT his dream job as a kid was to live in New York City, wear a fancy suit and work on Wall Street. Even walking onto campus his freshman year at University of Arizona (Tuscon) he was unsure of what he was going to do. It wasn’t until he spent a semester at sea with 400 other students traveling to 13+ countries did it all come together.
On the last night of the trip he and his Co-Founder Jeff Steitz decided they were going to launch Serengetee. The plan was that they would sew the fabrics they had collected onto their clothes so that people could “Wear The World”. They also decided that they would donate a percentage of profits to organizations in the region where that piece of fabric was from. 6+ years later, they’ve expanded to more than just clothes and continue to grow with new products .
In this episode he discusses the hustle and grind it took to get to where he is today. Having their website crash 4 times because a product was featured in a Jimmy Tatro video. Helping Rosa, a Guatemala native get through high school and nursing school as she supplied materials for Serengetee. Redefining success as being in control of everyday and traveling more while giving back.

For our second Groupisode we brought in three recording artists, Abstract (Ep 96), Dylan Reese (Ep 26 + Gp 1) and Ryan Oakes (Ep 61) who’re touring nationwide on their triple co-headliner tour, Virtual Reality which stops in 22 cities.
Abstract who grew up in Jackson, WI , Dylan Reese from Chicopee, MA… 413 stand UP and Ryan Oakes from Northern Virginia all met over the internet and were able to come together and cross off their lifelong dream of touring the nation. With no booking agent, label or funding they looked to their inner circle to help put this together.
Matt Keene handled booking and logistics of shows, Ryan Pod came on as their tour manager, Big Drip handled the merch, DJ Kode Break got the house rocking and Kyle Downes was in charge of photo & video.
In this episode they discuss how they first got inspired to start making music, what has changed the most about them along their career, what the first 16 shows of the tour were like, hardest lesson they’ve learned in the music industry thus far and one thing they’d like to see happen in their careers that hasn’t happened yet.

We all have different ambitions and goals but I think as humans it's our job to somehow/someway leave this earth a better place than when we arrived.
Some will affect the masses and some will only affect a handful but if we all play our roll and do good for this world, we will leave behind something very special.
This podcast was inspired by the passing of Mac Miller. 26 years young but this man impacted millions of people which I think is absolutely beautiful. May he rest in paradise.

Jakob Owens is a director, editor, adventurer, bearded brother and absolute beast from Tempe, Arizona. Today his YouTube channel “TheBuffNerds” sits at 761k subscribers with over 251+ Million views where he posts music videos, tutorials, behind the scenes and travel films.
With a passion for film, he attended Arizona State University and got accepted into their film school. While there, he was making music videos with KYLE and Futuristic as they were early on in their careers.
After graduating he moved to Los Angeles which wasn’t easy at first since he was a homebody. As he landed bigger opportunities, he knew he had made the right decision.
He credits eating healthy and working out help his creative process. When there’s downtime in between jobs, he can be found putting together PDF books for his followers, purchasing a new home (he now owns 3, 2 of which are for rent via Airbnb) or traveling somewhere in the world with his camera by his side.
In this episode Jakob discusses not reaching his full potential is what scares him the most. No matter how much time you spend on something it will never be perfect. Focusing on one task at a time is important. What can you do today that will take you one step forward and the people who really do want it can make it happen.

Haters gonna hate and what are we going to do? Absolutely nothing. Smile and not bite back at what they have to say because WE don't have the time for it. We're so focused on what WE need to do that we brush it off and continue to keep moving forward.
The "haters" are people who've yet to find their passion/purpose and are so jealous of US because we have the guts to throw ourselves out there unknown of what is going to happen. That won't ever stop us from doing our thing because we see the vision and we know where we're headed.

2 years ago today (August 31, 2016) I launched Purpose in the Youth podcast with no idea of where it would take me. I was a recent college grad who set out to find a passion/purpose and so I launched this podcast talking to those who had found theirs. 99 Episodes later, here we’re today.
I can ramble on about my story but by now I’d imagine most of you probably know it. The Uber Driver, the “World’s Favorite Bearded Man”, the guy who loves creating Content with a capital C and someone who loves people.
If you told me where this podcast would take me and the people I would connect with along the way, I’d say you’re bullshitting me. Yeah it has taken a little bit of luck but really it’s been a formula of being relentless, consistent, positive and keeping my eyes on the prize.
Today I’d like to share with you guys + gals a mini-doc of what the past 2 years have been like. Although you’re listening to this on the podcast app, I highly suggest checking out the video on my YouTube when you get a chance.
Thank you to the guests, friends, family, my team and anyone that supports the podcast / movement in anyway - I appreciate you... SEE YA!

If you wake up everyday and treat it like it's the one, you will maximize every opportunity, every interaction you have with someone and you will be on your A game at all times. It also sets you up so when that day does come, nothing changes. You've been preparing for that moment for weeks, months or years but it doesn't matter because you're ready for it.

With wanting to help hydrate people more efficiently, Liquid I.V. was born. What started in local spin studios then went into 1 Whole Foods, then 12 and continued to rise to where they’re today.

Got this lovely "Rider Preferred" package in the mail a couple weeks back and wanted to share it with you guys/gals.

You're no less of a person because of how you make your money or the actual amount. It can be easy to compare yourself and think you're less but that's far from the truth. Keep hustling, keep stacking every $1 you get and it will pay off. I believe it and so can you.

Parker Burr is the Co-Founder of FEAT. What started as him and his partner Taylor Offer standing outside of their college cafeteria selling socks to students as they walked by evolved into something much bigger. In 2017, they were picked for Forbes 30 Under 30 in the Retail & Ecommerce space.
Born & raised in Simsbury, CT, one of his early passions was Lacrosse. With the entrepreneurial mindset he had learned from watching his father run a successful landscaping company, he started buying and reselling hats he made at the mall. Fast forward he goes off to college at UMass Amherst and continues to build his company Promo Lacrosse. By his Junior year, the company had done 1.2 Million dollars in sales.
During his Senior year he meets Taylor and they run with this idea of starting a sock company. That year they sell 20,000 pairs out of their backpacks to students on the campus. They graduate and get funded $250k from an angel investor and another $27k from Kickstarter. After they spend every dollar trying different marketing techniques, they get another round of funding from another angel investor. This time, 1 Million dollars.
They move to Los Angeles, CA in hopes to build relationships with influencers. They form a business relationship with David Falk (Michael Jordan’s Agent) which leads to collaborating with American Gymnast Aly Raisman.
They rent a house as their working / living space on the Venice Canals in LA that becomes the ultimate networking hub. 16 months later they have to move out when they’re not in a financially great spot and they learn that one of their employees had spent $10,000 on a business credit card for his own personal expenses.
Today they’re operating profitable as a two man team with most of the work outsourced and in the hands of a third party. Although they started as a sock company, they plan to expand into categories beyond this.
In this episode Parker discusses that even when your back is against the wall, there is always a move. The pot of gold is always on the horizon, you can never really catch it. Why surrounding yourself with great people actually helps us and continue to keep walking as long as it feels right.

Reese Hopper is the day-to-day manager of Jeremiah Davis aka That One Blond Kid (Ep 71), a world traveling videographer and content creator. With the experience he's had from the entrepreneurship and freelance space over the past two years, he consults brands/creatives and helps solve any issues that they might have.
Raised in Fresno, CA he was extremely involved as a child. From being in his own band to playing baseball, soccer and running cross country, he tried anything that interested him.
He went on to study Communications at Azusa Pacific University. After graduating from there, he moved to Venice, CA where he would work at a local coffee shop three separate times all the while trying to live full-time as a freelancer.
Most recently he launched his IGTV series breaking down different topics within the freelance space including Outreach, Sacrifices, Making It, Relational, Brands, Rates and Pride. He believes the best way to know how much you’re worth comes down to how much you believe you’re worth.
In this episode Reese discusses giving away value for free right off the bat when trying to get your name out there, don’t beat yourself up if you fall down. His morning routine includes no-email or social media for the first 2 hours of his day. Focus on building relationships instead of focusing on the transaction and how it’s no longer a one in a million chance of making it with your passion.

This week Noah (@Kxng.Tone) from Philadelphia, PA asked "Advice for someone who wants to do something but isn't sure if they'll be good at it?"
Bearded Man Answer: The only way we can ever become great at something is by starting. Analyze your strengths + weaknesses and figure out how you're going to do the "thing" you're interested in doing.
You're going to fail / fall on your face a million times, that's a given. I've done it and so too does every successful person in this world do it as well. The key is getting back up and learning as you go.

Abstract is a recording artist on his first nationwide tour, Virtual Reality, alongside Ryan Oakes and Dylan Reese. Back in Spring of 2018, he played his music in Europe, 6,000+ miles away from his home on About Time, An International Tour with Yonas.
Born in New Jersey and raised in Jackson, Wyoming he started playing music very young. He had always been artistic, loved to draw and write as well. Early on he found out he was adopted at birth and thought of it as a blessing because he could create who he wanted to be and not feel tied to following the footsteps of anyone.
Abstract did homeschool for a year so that he could focus on competitive skiing but with time he found his true passion was for creating and went all in on music. With years of trial and error, his studio became an environment for him to hone in on his craft. Even with all his producers living overseas, there has been a constant line of communication that is running 24 hours a day. No one is left behind and if he eats, they all do as well.
He has spent the past two years on his next him album that will incorporate a short film. As creatives, he believes we can express ourselves through any medium as long as we’re not afraid to put time into learning them.
In this episode he discusses the ability to fund his ideas is his definition of success, flow with the universe and don’t force things, taking inspiration from everything & creating something of our own and treating time as the opportunity.

Was great to connect with Zack Honarvar for Episode 95 Shoot Your Shot. Not only is he the manager of Yes Theory + Founder of One Day Entertainment but he is another bearded brother! That’s always an extra 2 points in my book.
Having seen what Yes Theory was doing over the past 6/12 months and stumbling across Zack’s Instagram / reading into his story I knew this was someone I had to get on the podcast.
I respect people like Zack who know what they want and are willing to do everything / anything to make it happen. Hustle is something that can’t be taught to people. You either have it or you don’t.

My good friend James Berkeley (Episode 12 of the podcast) asked me about anxiety/depression and how to help overcome them and find the energy to break out of the norm and pursue your passion.
This is my opinion. Take it for what it is.
Beating Depression:
- Eat Healthy + Workout 5/6 days a week
- Communicate with POSITIVE people / cut out the negative ones
- Be cautious of what you consume on social media
- Write 3 things you're most grateful for in the morning + at night
- When something negative happens in your life, find 1 positive from it
- Listen to podcasts like The Gary Vee Audio Experience, The School of Greatness, Short Story Long
- Listen to uplifting music
Beating Anxiety:
- Be present + patient. Focus on this moment, not the past or future.
- Live your life 24 hours at a time
- Don't worry about what everyone else is doing, focus on what you need to do
- Don't be scared to fail. You will learn more from the failures than the wins
- Anytime you feel overwhelmed, close your eyes + breathe. Everything is going to be good!
Hope this helps someone out there! Please let me know if you have a question/topic you'd like me to cover.

Zack Honarvar is the manager for Yes Theory, a group who creates videos proving to the world that the only way to live an authentic and fulfilling life is to do the things that make us uncomfortable. He is also the founder behind One Day Entertainment, a talent management and business development agency that is figuring out what it takes to become the best.
Raised in Toronto, the hustle was in his blood at a young age when in 7th grade he started selling chocolate bars out of his backpack. Watching athletes like Kobe Bryant and listening to rap music such as Jay-Z positively influenced him because he saw and heard what great work ethic can do for people.
During his senior year at Wilfrid Laurier University in need of new laptop, he raised enough money to purchase one by selling advertising space on his MacBook to several businesses. He even got the company who was lasering etching the logos for him to do this service free of charge.
He lasted 6 months at his first job out of college before landing a sales position at Shopify. Over the next two years he would learn firsthand how to communicate with people and that no idea is worth anything if you can’t sell it.
Hesitant at first, he accepted an offer to become Yes Theory’s full-time manager. The day he boarded the plane to move West to Venice, California, he found out that Will Smith had accepted Yes Theory’s challenge to bungee jump out of a helicopter. After months of communication the offer was recently finalized in Budapest. September 25th, Will’s 50th birthday, he's bungee jumping out of a helicopter over the Grand Canyon.
In this episode Zack discusses the idea of always being a student and never the master, always starting with why, being mentored by Scooter Braun, helping other people with zero expectation of anything in return and why we must shoot our shot.

Even when things aren’t going the way I’d like it to go, I do my absolute best to stay positive. One easy way to do that is to take a step back and think about what you’re most grateful for. It’s like hitting a reset button and you’re like “Why am I even pissed?” cause like most things, the world isn’t going to end.
When people screw you over, you don’t land the dream job, you don’t get into the college you’ve dying to attend, your photos didn’t come out that well from Coachella, your podcast had audio issues during the production (which I’ve been guilty of, booooo Bobbay!) or whatever it might be… what is the positive? What can we learn from it?
Change the lense on how you see the world and watch how quickly you change the way you react to situations. Do you see something as a setback or do you see it as a valuable lesson to be learned that will help better prepare you for the future?
Always remember this : Positivity Is The ONLY Option. Period.

Jordan Levine is the tour manager for recording artist Bazzi and works alongside Wasted Potential, an all around design & management company in the music industry.
Raised in Vernon Hills, Illinois he always had an interest in being involved in the music industry. In high school he began to realize that he could do anything that he wanted and found ways to get involved. He booked his first show, flew in an artist from out of state and brought in 150+ people from surrounding high schools. Although money was lost, it was a starting point for him.
After graduating from the University of Iowa in 2016, he locked in a gig to sell merch for Huey Mack on tour alongside Sammy Adams. From there, things started to pick up.
He tour managed JMSN, did a one off show with Quincy, traveled 34 cities across the nation + 10 European stops with Witt Lowry and had a chance to be an assistant tour manager for G-Eazy.
Today he’s working full-time for Bazzi as they head out on The Cosmic Tour and get ready to head to Europe alongside Justin Timberlake for The Man Of The Woods Tour.
In this episode Jordan discusses how your personality, character, willingness to learn and grind is what will land you the right opportunities. Be patient, things won’t always happen right away. The way you carry yourself is key, BE confident and why sometimes we have to roll the dice.

Greatness is my motivation, it’s as simple as that. I don’t know why, I don’t know where it stems back to but I want to be great in every way possible. I want to strive everyday to become just a little bit better than I was the day before and continue to do so moving forward.
There’s the highs and the lows, so don’t think I’m perfect cause I’m not! (my beard is tho hehe) but seriously I and all the people we admire the most go through these rollercoasters but I think what sets us back on track is reminding ourselves of what our goals are and not getting upset with the short term setbacks.
Lewis Howes from The School of Greatness podcast always asks his guests the final question - “What’s your definition of greatness?” and I believe that it someone who continues to show up, who continues to push forward no matter what obstacle is thrown in their way.

Couple weeks back I went into Hollywood to meet up with Alexa Curtis to be on her podcast This Is Life Unfiltered to talk about my story, where I grew up, college years, launching Purpose in the Youth and my advice for people who’re struggling to get started.
We had connected back in July of 2017 when the both of us were living in Boston and I had her on the show to talk about her story for Episode 43. Fun fact - she was THE first podcast I had ever visually recorded. Lighting was terrible, you could see my dresser in the frame but we for sure made it work. Just a reminder that we all gotta somewhere!
This is the Behind the scenes of meeting up with her, shooting the podcast and a little “Bearded” action in the streets of Hollywood. I had a great time and think the podcast couldn’t have gone any better so make sure to check it out if you want to hear more about B-O-B!

Earlier this week we released Episode 93 with Matt D’Avella, Creating + Building An Audience Is Difficult. He was the director of Minimalism: A Documentary About The Important Things and now is the host of The Ground Up Show podcast.
I had seen the documentary on Netflix in 2016 and it changed the way I saw the “things” in my life and made me realize having less was actually better. Not only did it clear up the clutter in my room because I had less “things” to worry about but I also felt I had clearer headspace - less shit to worry about and more time to focus on doing things I wanted to do. If you have Netflix and are looking for a new doc, I highly recommend checking it out!
Matt does a fantastic job with The Ground Up Show, a podcast that inspires creatives to make meaningful content & pursue their passion. He brings in a wide variety of guests such as musicians, athletes, creatives and even had Tyler Babin - creative for Gary Vaynerchuk who we had on for Episode 50. The conversations are smooth, inspiring and have provided me with a ton of value from the handful that I have listened to so be sure to check that out as well.
If you’re enjoying Purpose in the Youth, please leave a 1 sentence review on the iTunes podcast app. No… this doesn’t make me any money but it helps me sleep better at night. Thank you from both the beard and I!

Matt D’Avella is the host of The Ground Up Show podcast as well as the director behind Minimalism: A Documentary About The Important Things.
Raised in Lebanon Township, New Jersey he was the third of seven children. He found his passion for film early on and instead of sitting in the cafeteria in high school during lunch, he would spend any and all free time editing. At one point he and his brother Mark created a parody rap video Produce Paradise inside the grocery store they worked which landed them a 7 Million Dollar lawsuit. Fortunately for them they’ll got off the hook from paying and walked away with a check for $3,500.
After graduating from Temple University, $117k in student loans, having just purchased a brand new car and living at home, he would go on to pay off all of his debt within four years strictly from freelancing and understanding how to be smart with his money.
With an email from Joshua Fields Millburn about an idea to create a documentary for The Minimalists, he was all on board. Passionate about the message, he spent the next three years putting together this project. With zero expectations of what would come of the final product, the documentary landed on Netflix.
Today his passion project is The Ground Up Show, a weekly podcast that inspires creatives to make shit happen. Over the past 66 plus episodes he’s talked with comedians, athletes, musicians and other creatives. If you asked him who his dream guest would be it’s simple - Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. He even has a seperate website dedicated to getting him on the show.
In this episode he discusses why we should never have any expectations, anything is possible if you have the right intentions, why we must respect people's time, the importance of having a balanced lifestyle, you have to earn people’s respect and how creating and building an audience is difficult.

The best piece of advice I have to offer to any creatives is this. There is absolutely no wrong or right way to do anything! It's a game of trial & error, seeing what you like/dislike and adjusting along the way. There's no point in trying to follow the path of what other successful people have done because it won't work for us. This is our journey, create what you think is dope.
As soon as I realized this I became more confident in my work and stopped stressing about everything being "perfect" because it's not supposed to be! Whether you're podcasting, launching your own business or whatever, it's all a work in progress.
Be confident, get inspired by what others are creating and create what you think is DOPE!

Many have asked "Hey bearded guy, why'd you start a podcast in the first place?" so here ya go.
When I launched Purpose in the Youth in 2016 I didn't know one single person hosting one and now that's all I hear about. I highly suggest ANYONE with a passion start a podcast within that field. If you're an artist, start one talking to other artists. If you're an entrepreneur, start one talking to other entrepreneurs. You get the point?
The key is starting them for the right reasons. I launched Purpose in the Youth in pursuit of finding my passion/purpose and that's why I began interviewing other passionate people. Slowly but surely, I found my thing... being THE worlds favorite bearded man!

This is the behind the scenes of this week’s podcast for Episode 92 with Sabina Gadecki - It’s Always A Work In Progress. Two big reasons I was stoked about doing this podcast. Number 1 - Sabina is from my hometown, Chicopee, MA! We ended up going to the same middle school AND high school which is pretty crazy seeing as we both live in LA some 3,500+ miles away from home and secondly because she played a role in the Entourage movie, as E’s girlfriend Melanie which is hands down my favorite series of all time! Even with all the success she’s had in her career thus far she is still super grounded, passionate, friendly and has an energy to her that lights up a room.
She couldn’t recall who exactly said it but she came across a quote one time and it was like… have you ever notice when someone’s car is broken down on the side of the road, nobody stops to help them but if there is someone who is attempting to push their car, almost everyone jumps out to give the extra push. That’s exactly how this world works. People are willing to help those you’re willing to help themselves and if they’re still just sitting in that broken down car, complaining about life.. Nothing will ever change. Get out, work hard and push that damn car!
As always, if you’d rather watch this podcast please head to my YouTube Bobby Hobert or search “Meeting Sabina Gadecki, Actress In The Movie Entouage” and you’ll find it.
Please leave a 1 sentence review on the iTunes podcast app if you enjoyed the podcast. Any/all feedback is appreciated. Thank you from both the beard and I… See ya!

Sabina Gadecki is an actress and model who was featured in the movie Entourage and tv shows Law & Order, White Collar, House of Lies and The League. With her next film, The Ninth Passenger set to release in August and recently finishing up a shoot in Mexico for a Netflix series, she has been working towards this moment her entire life and the work is just beginning to stay consistent.
Born and raised in Chicopee, MA by two Polish parents, one of the best lessons she learned from them was to live life and appreciate the small moments along the way. In high school she kept it cool with everyone and was into both dance and cheerleading. She won Miss Western MA, Miss Polonia and Miss Polonia World by the age of 19 which showed her she could do the things she loved all the while helping others along the way.
While studying at Fordham University she jumped on an opportunity to be the host of the World Poker Tour (Season 5) and started building her career from there. She eventually signed to Ford Models and then to Wilhelmina upon moving to LA. No favors, no handouts just pure hard work, persistence and staying at it is what has gotten her to where she is today.
In this episode Sabina discusses it’s up to you to make things happen for yourself because if you don’t nobody cares, people want to help those who’re helping themselves, the best piece of advice she’d give to her younger self is to do what makes you happy, love will fall into your lap when you’re not looking for it, how creating a morning gratitude list has positively helped her and a reminder that no matter what your passion is, it’s always a work in progress.

This is the behind the scenes of this week’s podcast for Episode 91 with Robbie Page - Feedback Is The Breakfast Of Champions. I first came across Robbie’s work in Drama’s new series Mentor Mondays and hearing his story with how / why Tenzo Tea came to life I thought ehhh pretty dope, definitely could see him on the podcast. Fast forward a couple weeks, I sit down with Rob Lawless who is on a mission to meet 10,000 people for Episode 90, I begin to scroll and look back at some of the people he’s met recently and BOOM! Theres Robbie page AGAIN. At that point I sent the hail mary DM to Robbie explaining what Purpose in the Youth was all about and we for suuuuree made some magic happen or as I like to say… some H-Q-C, High Quality Content!

Robbie Page is the Co-Founder of Tenzo Tea. While on the hunt for a coffee alternative that had health benefits, he and his best friend Steve O'Dell came across a clean, green, caffeine packed plant called Matcha. Realizing how much it helped them stay focused in their daily lives along with the other 20 or so health benefits, they launched Tenzo Tea with Matcha being the key ingredient. What started as solely an E-Commerce product in July of 2016 has evolved into over 160+ physical locations that continues to grow today.
Born and raised in the small town of Victor, New York, Robbie was surrounded by parents who both happen to be doctors along with a brother and sister. Realizing his passion for volleyball at a young age he committed his childhood to becoming the best athlete he could be despite the kids around him stereotyping him for being unathletic and goofy because of his height. By his junior year he was fully committed to UCLA as their #1 Volleyball recruit for the 2010 season standing 7 feet tall.
After finishing up school and playing professional Indoor Volleyball in the European circuit for an Italian team, he returned back to the U.S. and the lifestyle he was comfortable with in Southern California. Back in the professional beach leagues he would find himself playing volleyball during the day and working on Tenzo Tea by night to get it off the ground and running. What started as two of them in their apartment has evolved into a team of people based in Santa Monica, CA.
In this episode Robbie discusses how volleyball taught him if you work hard consistently at anything you’re bound to get better, you have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, the through of sorrow is about continuing to move forward regardless of how things are going, having an amazing team is key to growth, not reaching his full potential is what scares him the most and why feedback is the breakfast of champions.

Welcome to Groupisode! A brand new series by Purpose in the Youth Podcast that will feature multiple guests at a time talking about different topics. For the first one I brought in 3 previous guests that have been on the podcast. Recording artist Dylan Reese (Ep 28), actor + model George Samuels (Ep 8) and fashion designer and clothing manufacturer Nathan Achron (Ep 2 + 60). All of us are from the 413, Western Massachusetts now living in LA!
With an opportunity to sleep on a family friends coach, George arrived in Summer of 2017, Dylan and & I started cooking up at the content crib in September of 2017 and Nathan got his own apartment and studio space in Downtown LA to operate his business in March of this year.
In this groupisode we discuss what scared us the most about moving from MA to Cali, why we chose LA in the first place, some of the preparation in saving money and actually getting here, what’s been the toughest + most unexpected challenge we’ve faced thus far, how living in LA has positively influenced us and why moving outside of your hometown changes your perspective.
If you enjoy this podcast and would like to share it during or after you hear this episode, please screen shot and post it to your Instagram Story tagging @PurposeintheYouth. I appreciate it and so too does my beard!

After switching careers from Deloitte and RJMetrics, still not being fulfilled with what he was doing, he had this idea to go out there and connect with people to see where he’d end up.
I had met Rob back in April after a mutual friend had connected us saying we had to meet and so we made some magic happen. At the recording of this podcast, Rob had met 1,854 people and is still going strong. He’s operating out of Los Angeles right now so if you’d like to be one of this 10,000, hit him up on IG @Robs10kfriends.
If you would rather watch this instead, head to my YouTube - Bobby Hobert or Search “Rob Lawless Is Trying To Meet 10,000 People” and you’ll find it.

Rob Lawless is a man on a mission. After switching careers from being a Business Analyst at Deloitte to an Outbound Sales Team member at software startup RJMetrics, he quit to pursue his own dream. Meet 10,000 people, have a one on one hour conversation with them and see where the road takes him.
Raised in Norristown, PA life was pretty good for Rob. He was surrounded by loving parents, an older brother and sister and was the youngest of 16 cousins on his father's side of the family who all played a positive influence on him. Following both his siblings steps he attended Penn State. What he would realize about himself over the course of the next four years was his strength to be a connector of people. After bouncing around from both careers and realizing we don't have to be miserable and hate our job, he quit to pursue his new job. Connecting with people.
What he had missed about his college days was the connection he had with so many people on his campus and thus he set out on a new journey in November 2015, to meet 10,000 people. Some of the skills he had learned in the professional world about being persistent and following up began to kick in and slowly people began reaching out wanting to meet him and be part of the project. Launched in Philly, now operating in Los Angeles, at the time of the recording of this podcast Rob had met 1854 people. Ya favorite bearded man happen to be lucky number 1718.
In this episode Rob discusses paying Deloitte $5,000 to quit his job, my ability to meet people is what will take me to where I want to be, go with the flow and control the controllables, the tough times help us appreciate the journey more, the value of connecting with people, one of the most memorable conversations and meet up locations so far and why the sacrifices feel more like common sense.

Davin Gentry is a creator and artist who is the co-founder behind both Premium Co and Diet Starts Monday. Even with seeing himself on a billboard in Los Angeles, having hundreds of people waiting outside of his store or taking pictures with fans, it all feels natural to him because he feels he’s doing what he’s supposed to be doing at the time he’s supposed to be doing it.
Growing up in Madisonville, Kentucky he was embarrassed as a kid to admit he lived in a trailer park with his mother and would get dropped off blocks away so his friends wouldn’t know. One of his early passions was basketball which was what kept him focused and out of the streets. Finishing up high school he attended community college for a year and a half and then transferred to Western Kentucky and majored in Advertising. After graduating he sold hand painted shirts for six years until he and Tyler Hundley got Premium Co off the ground in 2011.
A text conversation with designer John Geiger about only working out in order to fit into designer clothes led to the launch of their clothing line Diet Starts Monday in 2017. Incorporating the idea of procrastinating diets, they launched what was planned to be a 3 month pop-up event that turned into a full year round operating restaurant and retail space in Washington, D.C. With a recent collaboration with Five Four, they’re just getting warmed up with what has yet to come for the brand.
In this episode Davin discusses the balance of making what we want and what the customer is looking for, building the right relationships sets us up for a promising future, his definition of success is being financially stable enough to create what he wants, recognizing that some things are completely out of our control, his day-to-day routines and appreciating all the bumps and bruises that have helped get him to where he is today.

One Hispanic is an all around creative who is currently working with recording artist Khalid as his photographer and videographer traveling all over the world capturing timeless moments with him. If you bump into him at a show or somewhere on the streets you might see him rocking his clothing brand, GRIME.
Raised in Queens, New York both his grandmother and grandfather positively influenced him as child and taught him the importance of family. Going to boarding school outside of Philly gave him a taste of photography and it also was where he formed his relationship with hip hop duo Moosh & Twist. With 2 years of college under his belt at Saint John’s University he left for a year to jump on tour and never went back.
His relationship with Khalid, the 20 years young artist behind quadruple platinum record Location, started from an opportunity to shoot photos of him at a show at SOB’s in New York City. More opportunities to work with him came with time and eventually he took on the role of being his full-time photographer and videographer. One thing One Hispanic has learned since working with him is to always show love to the people that support you.
In this episode One Hispanic discusses his favorite childhood memory was the blackout in New York City, the best piece of advice he has ever recieved is to never give up, being grateful for the love and support from his family, inspiring people to become better version of themselves and why growth really inspires him.

Today I want to share with you guys + gals something special. This was originally created as a video which you can find on my YouTube channel by searching Bobby Hobert but I wanted to share it with those who might only listen to the audio format of the podcast.
Today marks 2 years since I graduated college and when I think back to that moment it amazes me how far I’ve come since. This was by far one of the happiest moments in my life, I was getting a college diploma and it sure wasn’t cheap! It quickly changed into this big question, what do I do now? I had people around me who were getting 60k / 70k yearly salaries and I had nothing on the table, no clue what to do next except the idea of starting a podcast. It took me months to finally get in a rhythm where I didn’t feel so lost and things were slowly starting to come together. When I tell you the last two years have flown by, it’s been a blink of an eye and I haven’t regretted any of it.
For those who might be graduating college, congrats! You’ve been awarded the golden ticket. You’ve been preparing for this moment the past 21/22 years of your life. This is the time to take the leap, this is the time to do the things you love, this is the time to figure out who you’re and what you want to spend the rest of your life doing. Going against the grain and chasing a passion is not going to be easy, I can promise you that but if you don’t go for it now, when will you ever time to? Believe in yourself, believe you have the ability to accomplish these crazy ass goals because YOU have what it takes. The time is yours, now go do it.
As always, from the bottom of my bearded heart - thank you for all the support. Please head over to the Apple podcast app and write a 1 sentence review on what you think of the podcast after you hear this podcast. See ya!

Blake Pinsker is the director of brand for Mvmt (formerly known as Mvmt Watches). With a message from one of his childhood friends Jake Kassan, the CEO and co-founder of Mvmt, he began helping out in anyway that he could in 2013. Utilizing social media they grew the business from four guys in an apartment to a thirty-five person team that did approximately 70 million in sales in 2017.
Growing up in Valenica, CA he had both an older and younger sister. Although he always leaned more towards the creative activities he dedicated his life to sports such as basketball, football and some baseball. Even when Blake would mess up his parents were very supportive and understanding. With goals of being the GM of the New York Knicks or being a personality on ESPN, you could say he liked to dream big.
San Diego State University welcomed him with open arms and within two years Blake found his passion for marketing. Upon graduating and being told there was no money in that industry he jumped into real estate. Just as he was figuring out this career path was not meant for him he began working on Mvmt projects. He was passionate and determined to succeed and within time he would leave his real estate job to chase the dream with his friends. As of today Mvmt surpassed 1 million followers on Instagram, they continue to roll out different products such as bracelets, sunglasses and accessories but most importantly - they continue to reinvest in the brand.
In this episode Blake discusses why it’s not about being the best but being the one that wants it more, Mvmt’s tagline Live Life On Your Own Terms, importance of creating an experience that gets people to come back, making every second count, short term speed long term patience, we’re capable of anything and the importance of finding the right people.

Ash Katch is a content creator, vlogger and someone who loves to travel. She recently got back to the U.S. after helping out with the Rad Livin Festival in Sydney, Australia for the past couple months. With a goal to start her own business that operates sustainably, she wants to impact people but also help keep this Earth clean.
Born and raised in Fresno, CA she grew up in safe environment but felt it sheltered her from seeing what else was in the world. Serving as a leader on her cross country team in high school she was someone that people could look up to and she pushed everyone to their full potential including herself. She then went on to spend five years at Cal Poly State University and majored in Environmental Engineering.
After just three months in her first full-time career, not passionate with the work she was doing she decided to leave in pursuit of finding wanting to live her own daydream. People tried convincing her to stick with it for at least a year and being honest with the fact that life is short she listened to her gut anyways. She thinks most people try to fit the mold that they’re supposed to be in but in reality there is none, we’re all writing the script of our own story. Through her vlogs she documents her journey which has helped her stay true to herself.
In this episode Ash discusses what we can do today to help better the world, the biggest doubt she has in herself is wondering if she has what it takes, best lesson she’s learned from Gary Vee is being okay with failure, when you’ve found that “thing” it stops being about the end game but instead the process, suffocating your bullshit and living your day dream.

Nicki Andrea is a health, lifestyle and fashion vlogger. She’s all about body positivity and believes that we should love ourselves no matter our size, shape or color. As she continues to build her platform on social media she would someday like to start her own swimsuit line that fits everyone no matter their size.
Born and raised in Springfield, MA she enjoyed riding her bike, dancing and having magical powers as a kid. Her parents emigrated from Russia the year before she was born and some of those cultural lessons and values heavily influenced her childhood. Wanting to be same size as some of her friends she started counting calories in 6th grade and by her senior year of high school she would skip out on events because she knew food would be there. This eating disorder would continue on through college at Umass Amherst but with time she became confident in the person she saw in the mirror.
With inspiration from watching YouTubers growing up she launched her own channel. She started putting up make-up and beauty videos and took a four year break from uploading while she was in college. Nikki realized that her story resonated with other people that were going through similar journeys in their life and so she is open and honest about her personal life with all the content that she uploads.
In this episode Nicki discusses there is beauty in the struggle of having to do things for yourself, even when people are rude to you treat them with kindness, dressing for your body builds confidence, positive affirmations remind us of all the good things we have in our life, not second guessing ourselves because we have what it takes and why comparing yourself to others will never help you.

You might know Drama from MTV’s Rob & Big or Fantasy Factory. Over the past decade he’s built a name for himself in the entertainment industry and along the way has grown into someone who wants to push himself forward as far as he can all the while showing people how to do it. Today he’s the CEO and founder of streetwear brand Young & Reckless, the host of Short Story Long podcast and a host on Group Chat.
Drama was raised in the small town of Coventry Township, Ohio alongside his older brother Scott. In high school he was somewhat antisocial, got B’s & C’s but was obsessed with skateboarding. With money he had from graduation, selling iPods and making a skate video he packed up and moved to Los Angeles with an opportunity to crash on his cousin’s couch who happen to be Rob Dyrdek. With his biggest dreams to live in SoCal and work at skateshop, Drama had no idea what the future had ahead of him and things were just getting started.
Over the next ten plus years he would go onto becoming a star. He was getting booked to do signings at stores, make club appearances and was fortunate to even treat himself to a new Lamborghini for his 26th birthday. Although having these “things” are great, along the journey he realized the true fulfillment came from positively helping people and seeing himself grow. His day-to-day routines include writing 5 things he’s most grateful for in his journal, meditating for 10 minutes, texting his mother and working on his fitness.
In this episode Drama discusses making a list of your goals & conquering them, taking risks go hand in hand with chasing after what you want, wanting to interview Kevin Hart, Richard Branson and Barack Obama, not realizing his full potential is what scares him the most, forcing yourself into situations you don’t want to be in and why humbleness is a necessity.

One of the biggest struggles she’s had to overcome was the death of her father who had committed suicide when she was a kid. What’s she's learned from this experience is that everyone has a story to tell.

With her first stand up gig at Flappers Comedy Club not too long ago, she wants to continue to test and try comedy outlets and see where it takes her.
In this episode Nikki discusses how living in New York taught her how to hustle and make things happen for herself, getting up every morning at 4:50AM and hitting the gym is a must, being confident in yourself and not being afraid of “no’s”, we all want to be around people that make us feel good, finding ways to make a living doing the things you love to do and you won’t know the full story until you ask.

Chuck Herrera is the owner of Good People Coffee Co here in Los Angeles where they provide a high quality coffee served by staff who play an important role in making sure the customer experience is exceptional. Chuck not only wants to impact the people that come into his shop but even the farmers in the countries who supply him his coffee beans.
Born in East LA, he moved to the Inland Empire region of CA as child. He was surrounded by a younger sister and two parents who worked in the Real Estate industry. One of the best jobs he had growing up was working for a steel mill that made him work hard for his money which he enjoyed. A mix of hanging around with the wrong people and making bad decisions led him to having a felony arrest warrant on him for $50,000. After 5 weeks in jail he came out and knew he needed to change his life around.
Chuck went on to spend a full year out at a rehab center in the middle of the desert sobering up and trying to find himself. He went back to college at the The Art Institute and graduated with a Typography and Graphic Design degree which led him into freelancing for the majority of his career. Traveling to Africa twice in 2013 is when he realized he could use his passion for coffee to give back. People began to like the idea they were not only buying a cup of coffee but one that was positively helping the world.
In this episode Chuck discusses the process of making coffee & speciality drinks, helping his customers find that “thing” on his menu that they love, waking up every day ready to go, wanting to get people to be a little bit more honest with themselves, not giving up on yourself because you were created for so much more and the importance of surround yourself with good people.

Nainoa Langer is a videographer who gets to travel the world and capture some breathtaking moments. Being raised in Moloaki, Hawaii, an island with 7,000 people on it he figured out early on that he wanted to experience more and always had the itch to see what else was out there. In order to get to where he is today it’s taken a bit of confidence, hard work and following his stoke.
Having no direction of what he wanted to do after high school he attended Honolulu Community College for three semesters pursuing welding. With an offer to work at a local hospital and make good money he decided to leave school and start a career. While on break from work in between his shifts he would go on hikes or cliff jumping with his friends, capture it with his GoPro and upload it to YouTube. After three years of doing something he truly did not enjoy, he quit with 0 plan as to what he was going to do next. From this moment going forward, his life took a turn and it was a good one.
Nainoa had the opportunity to shoot The Chainsmokers and meet one of his biggest inspirations, Rory Kramer. Sam Kolder who was really breaking waves on the internet creating travel vlogs invited him out to New York City to help out with a project for Beautiful Destinations. Within days of arriving to the city he was booked to go with the team outside of the country which was his first time leaving the U.S. Since then, he’s traveled to over 18+ different countries and works heavily with BD.
In this episode Nainoa discusses wanting to inspire people through his content, one of his favorite quotes “it’s better to live 30 years full of adventures than a 100 years safe in the corner” by Jim Rohn, it’s okay to not know what you’re doing because it’s all a process, love the highs and the lows because that’s part of the journey and why it’s important to follow your stoke.

There's a good chance you’ve come across one of her photos without even knowing it. Nesrin Danan aka “Blackprints” is a 22 years young photographer who has shot for some of your favorite artists like G-Eazy, Blackbear, Olivia O’brien and she has created content for companies such as Bose, M&M’s, Urban Outfitters, Postmates, Uber and more. None of this was part of the plan, it kinda just happened. She had taken a film/photography class in high school in Corvallis, Oregon because she was slightly interested. Needing to take pictures for her class she ended up at a Macklemore & Ryan Lewis show at the Flat Tail Music Festival in 2012 and was instantly pulled in. By the time she reached college at Portland State University, she was balancing being a full-time student, having a social life, going to the gym and even flying out on weekends to NYC or festivals to work. What’s different about Nesrin than most photographers is you’ll come across a post of her on her own Instagram. She’s fully confident with sharing her personal life with her followers and wants to come off as someone who keeps it real. Aside from her photography passion she’s a huuuuge foodie and can be caught at Urth Cafe or Greenspan’s Grilled Cheese while in LA. One thing’s for sure - she knows her worth and isn’t going to budge no matter the circumstance. — You can follow Nesrin here: Instagram: @Blackprints (https://www.instagram.com/blackprints/) Twitter: @Blackprints_ (https://twitter.com/blackprints_) YouTube: Blackprints (https://www.youtube.com/user/lochnezzmonster) Website: (http://www.nesrindanan.com) Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljmoto
Depending on the day of the week Cam Meekins might be wearing one of a handful of hats. He’s a rapper, producer, entrepreneur and enthusiast who loves to create. He was raised in Wellesley, MA and was the youngest of five children. At 15 he was involved in a life threatening jet ski accident that completely changed his perspective of the world and so he began to go all in on music because of it. By the age of 17 he really started to gain some traction and kept running with it. At one point he had a short deal with Atlantic Records and eventually launched his own label, Lamp City Records which is still running today. Music has provided him with a platform to talk about what he’s currently going through in his life and he feels it’s his responsibility to use the art as a way to express the wins, losses and everything in between. He enjoys vlogging the behind the scenes of his life, has invested money into his brothers English Muffin company and wants to continue to grow in the entrepreneur world and invest in other people's ideas. At the end of the day, he would like to leave a lot more on this earth than he took from it. — You can follow Cam here: Instagram: @CamMeekins (https://www.instagram.com/cammeekins/) Twitter: @CamMeekins (https://twitter.com/CamMeekins) YouTube: Cam Meekins (https://www.youtube.com/user/CamMeekinsProd09) Spotify: (https://open.spotify.com/artist/0wNuUG1alVKXEEiwEypprs) Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm

He is the tour manager for Louis the Child and just returned home after being on the road for eleven weeks with the crew. With his line of work he tries to lead by example, make sure the entire operation runs smoothly and most importantly he likes to be the person that brings everyone together to make them family. With just a few years shy of a decade of being on the road, Mike Trueblood has learned a lot about himself. Being raised in the Northeast and dealing with the seasonal weather has helped shape him into who he is today. The cold winters make places such as LA feel like paradise. He spent a year a half at Roger Williams College in Rhode Island playing baseball and quickly realized this wasn’t meant for him so he took a year off from school to see what he could do next. The timing couldn’t have been better because his friends Carter (Episode 58) & Dave were sending him records of their early music, Mike would give them feedback and they would soon form a group by the name of AER. In the beginning of AER Mike was just a homie there to help out and drive them to music videos in his mothers Toyota Highlander or one off shows. He was adding value in anyway that he could not because he was looking to get paid but because of the genuine friendships and believing they had what it took. As the group started to gain success he stepped in as their official Tour Manager and was driving all over the US with them. Eventually it led to him working with Hoodie Allen, Tribal Seeds, Chef’Special, Our Last Night, The Knocks, Lauv and now today Louis the Child. In this episode Mike discusses realizing how important it is to take care of his health, his passion for people and wanting to bring the best out of them, hitting a crossroad and how he was able to get through it, if given one token to call anyone to thank who that would be, appreciating what you have vs what you don’t have, not dwelling on the past so learn from it and keep moving forward, grab hold of something that interests you and see where you end up. — You can follow Mike here: Instagram: @TruebloodMichael (https://www.instagram.com/truebloodmichael/) Twitter: @TruebloodMike (https://twitter.com/truebloodmike) Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
In May of 2017 Indy signed a deal with Sony Music and with the advance he was given the ability to put all of his creative energy into being a recording artist. Now living in West Hollywood, CA he is happy that he gets to wake up everyday doing what he loves. He grew up in the same house all of his life in Howell, NJ with his mother working in the school system that he went to, his father a police officer and an older brother. Hockey was a huge part of his life and taught him you need a team in order to succeed no matter what you do in life. Through his music he’s learned how to express his emotions in a very raw way as he continues to tell his story. After his best friend broke his neck playing hockey and was paralyzed from the neck down during his senior year of high school, his record “Miracle” took off and all proceeds continue to go towards his foundation. 2018 he hopes to continue to grow his music and slowly build a strong catalogue of records that show what he’s capable of creating. In this episode Indy discusses helping his neighbor build a successful app, why he only lasted 1 semester at West Virginia University, working for his Uncle’s funeral business and what it taught him, how even the people that we think might have it all figured out in life don’t, teaching other people that you can do whatever you want because there are no boundaries and no matter what you do make sure you enjoy it. — You can follow Indy here: Instagram: @IndyRaps (https://www.instagram.com/indyraps/) Twitter: @IndyRaps (https://twitter.com/INDYRAPS) Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/artist/1laJgxJDd9CCwPwnAKsNvr) Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
He just flew back from a twenty-four hour trip to NYC with recording artist 24hrs where he was documenting their entire stay in the city. Now back in Los Angeles, couchsurfing at the Content Crib he’s embracing the moment as things are starting to fall into place. SusboyDarius is only twenty years old, loves taking photos, creating cover art for artists projects and is now starting to mess around with video. Born and raised in Springfield, MA he grew up in the nice part of town as the city has a variety of “mini cities” within it some of which are beautiful and peaceful whereas the other parts tend to have a high crime rate. Family has always been very important to him in his life and his parents have always been able to provide him his basic necessities. In school he was always the quiet one that minded his own business but it allowed him to learn as he listened more than he talked. When his grandmother passed away he locked himself in his room for months and cut off a lot of people in his life. It was his first experience with losing a loved one and the process he went through taught him a lot about himself and ultimately led him to his passion of photography. He was nowhere close to being good at first but surrounding himself with people that had similar interests he slowly got better with time. After 1.5 years of community college he tossed the towel in and is trying to chase his passion while in LA. In this episode he discusses how he got his name SusboyDarius, how creating t-shirts led to his relationship with 24hrs, being part of the RAGE movement and wanting to inspire others, why you need to fail in order to find what you’re looking for, why his necklace says “Revenge” on it, wanting to have coffee with Wiz Khalifa and what most people don’t know about him. One of the main takeaways from this episode is to keep going and prove the people that doubted you wrong. Keep your head down, ignore negativity from other people and chase after whatever that end goal might be. — You can follow SusboyDarius here: Instagram: @SusboyDarius (https://www.instagram.com/susboydarius/) Twitter: @SusboyDarius (https://twitter.com/susboydarius) YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/user/Drayx23) Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Scoobs is the creative director at Indie-Pop and he provides creative services outside of the music industry under his brand, Scoobs Supply. Some of his work in recent years include Super Duper KYLE, G-Eazy, Carnage and more. At first he was scared to admit his passion for art but he quickly realized that people didn’t care as much as he thought and so he learned to just be himself. Born and raised in the small town of Manistee, Michigan his graduating class was only 100 people. Most would stick around, work at the local factory and spend the rest of their lives there but Scoobs wanted more. Having his supportive mother teach him that you can accomplish anything you put your mind towards as long as you were willing to work for it stuck with him. He wasn’t sure what he wanted to do but knew it had to be something creative and kept jumping on any/all opportunities. Through Twitter is was able to connect and build with people over the internet. He took the initiative to show people what he was capable of doing and it only opened up more doors for him. At one point he flew out to Los Angeles and was sleeping on a floor for two weeks. He saw the long play of what he was doing and knew he had to put in the work. After getting a taste of what LA had to offer, he graduated college and moved West knowing that it was the place he needed to be. In this episode Scoobs discusses how at some point someone will toss you the ball you just need to be ready to catch it & run with it, why design & creative direction is important today, one of the most emotional projects he’s worked on in the past, beating cancer and how he plans to incorporate this experience for 2018 and wanting to help people while doing what he loves. One of the big takeaways from this episode is to be happy & have more genuine interactions with people. We can eat healthy and exercise daily but even then our health isn’t in our control. Smile because you’re breathing and enjoy these moments. — You can follow Scoobs here: Instagram: @ScoobsSupply (https://www.instagram.com/scoobssupply/) Twitter: @ScoobsSupply (https://twitter.com/scoobssupply) Website (http://scoobs.supply) Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
In February of 2017 Daia had $1,200 to her name, no plan at all and bought a one way ticket to London not sure where the road would take her. What she didn’t realize at the time was that she was walking into a ten month adventure where should would visit 18 countries like Iceland, Indonesia, France, Italy and more all along the way capturing her journey via blog, videos or pictures on her Instagram. Just a year before she was living her life in Las Vegas working and once she got a taste of traveling she walked away from everything to see what the world had to offer. She grew up in Los Angeles until she was 7 and then went to high school in Las Vegas. Her father was never around so her mother stepped up to the plate and was always hustling to make ends meet. When Daia wasn’t working 60 hours a week during her senior year she enjoyed dance and cheerleading. Although people around her were pressuring her to go to college she didn’t and instead followed what she thought was best for her. At one point Daia had a car, full-time job, apartment and all the material items she could ever want but all it took was a four week trip to London that changed everything. Having withdrawals from being abroad she sold everything she owned. Instead of spending her money on things that added 0 value to her life she began putting her dollars towards equipment that helped build her business or saved it to put it towards traveling. In this episode Daia discusses the social skills she mastered from working retail, learning everything that she knows today from YouTube, how she was able to continue to travel after spending all of her money in the first two months, leveraging her Instagram following to get free accommodations at hotels & restaurants, believing in yourself is the biggest lesson she’s learned while traveling abroad, the first step to take if someone is looking to travel, there is no such thing as overnight success, why she stopped blaming other people for how she was feeling and knowing that every person had to start somewhere to get to where they’re today. One of the big takeaways from this episode is that not having a plan isn’t always a bad thing. Yes we need to have a sense of direction of where we’re headed but we don't have to have the fine details all laid out and that's what keeps life interesting. — You can follow Daia Larie here: Instagram: @DaiaLarie (https://www.instagram.com/daialarie/) YouTube: DaiaLarie (https://www.youtube.com/user/deedeedynomite) Fashion + Travel Blog (https://www.daialarie.com) Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
While interning Joshua got a taste of the corporate world and realized it wasn’t for him. He had spent a month in both Moscow and Tokyo, a little bit of time in Israel and seeing how people lived in different parts of the world as well as how they interacted with one another changed his perspective. He realized that with the short amount of time we do have we must find something we love to do and thus how he stumbled into acting. Chicago, IL was where he was raised. A city full of people that were down to earth, very organized and filled with excellent food. He had some family issues that impacted him heavily early on and it was tough for him to make friends but as time went he grew more confident in himself. After spending sometime at Parkland Community College, he dropped out at 22 to bet on professional football and traded stocks. It got so intense that he moved to Las Vegas for six months with one of his friends. After getting his feet wet with acting in Chicago he took his talents out to Los Angeles and attended Stella Adler Academy of Acting. In order to become one of the greats one must be willing to get back up millions of times even after falling on your face. Being vulnerable, open, studying the script, fully submerging yourself into the role, taking what you’ve learned and making it yours all needs to happen before the cameras start rolling. At 27 years young, Joshua is a humble, hungry and is doing whatever it takes to make it in the industry. In this episode Joshua discusses valeting cars was one of his favorite jobs as a kid, two roles in his acting career that have impacted him the most, we all have different paths in life so things will happen when they happen, the law of attraction, traveling and observing everything around you, why we should put ourselves in uncomfortable situations, being honest with people, wanting to add more structure to his life, you’re in complete control of how you react to situations it’s all about perspective and the only person you’re fighting is the one you see in the mirror. One of the main takeaways from this episode is that it’s you versus you. Look at yourself ask what do I really want to do, who do I want to become, where do I see myself tomorrow, next month, next year or even in a decade. You’re in complete control of your life. — You can follow Joshua here: Twitter: @JBrenner_Act (https://twitter.com/jbrenner_act) Instagram: @Joshua_Ryan_Brenner (https://www.instagram.com/joshua_ryan_brenner/) Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm

Episode 61: Ryan grew up in Ashburn, Virginia surrounded by a younger brother and older sister. When he was eight years old he dreamed of hopefully one day becoming a movie director. During his senior year of high school he was getting looks from different colleges that were interested in recruiting him. He quit to follow his new passion for making music. Both his coaches and parents questioned his decision but he knew what he wanted and refused to stop for anyone. Through his four years at Radford University he was able to really jump start his music career. Any free time that he had he spent writing, recording and mastering his craft. His remix for “Drinking About You” had gotten him tons of exposure and he ran with it. By the time he graduated he was able to live full-time off his earnings from his music. Ryan recently surpassed 200k monthly listeners on his Spotify channel but for him the passion is more than just numbers. Music has served as an outlet for him to inspire people to do whatever it is they want to do and he continues to push this message to the fans. Although his music may touch some serious subjects, he is a very outgoing and approachable person that wants to connect with people. In this episode Ryan discusses if you’re doing something creative you must keep going, people won’t always understand your vision until you make it happen, visualization can get us to that end destination or even further, every move we make must be calculated, we can read how people are feeling just by their emotions, the key to making impactful content is being passionate and we can get whatever we want as long as we’re willing to work for it. — Find Ryan On Social Media: Spotify: http://spoti.fi/2yIzilo Instagram: http://bit.ly/2ALEXrW Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm

For the next six years they would go onto headlining their own national tours, rocked out in Europe and saw their self-titled project debut at #26 on Billboard. In May of 2016 they mutually came to an agreement it was time for both of them to split ways and go on their own adventures to see where the world would take them.

He is focused on becoming the best musician he can possibly be and wants nothing more than to make people happy. In this episode Carter discusses seeing through with ideas we have because if we say we’re going to do something then we need to do it, as long as we believe in what we’re creating than that is all that matters, be comfortable in your own skin, if you’re never setting yourself up to get inspired it’ll never come to you, all we need to focus on is living in this very moment, capturing an idea or thought and coming back to it at a different time, having structure to your day and mapping it out, change is never a bad thing and understanding that no matter what… life goes on. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm

Episode 51: Thinking back to his younger years Mason did not attend major events and stayed away from social settings because he was very self-conscious and was worried about what people might think of him. His social anxiety was and still is a daily struggle that he works on getting better at but overall things have changed quite a bit for him. At 21 years young, he is confident in his own skin and can laugh thinking back on who he used to be as he now is able to shoot photos on stage of crowds of 2,000+ people without hesitation. A great example that with time, you too can overcome your own obstacles. He grew up in the small town of 800 people in Huron, Ohio where he has lived all of his life. Growing up he tried playing a handful of sports such as basketball, football, baseball and even soccer but by the time he had reached high school, he was obsessed with video games and was making real money. He got a partnership with YouTube in their early stages and was releasing montage videos with his clan. The kids at his high school didn't think it was “cool” and would chuckle him in the hallways. He ended up leaving that school for one year mostly because of the harassment and by the time he returned for his senior year, it had died down a bit. Along the way he stumbled into his passion for photography and making videos which is his main focus. All it took was one semester of community college for him to realize school was not the route he needed to go and instead he continued to teach himself his craft and went out to learn on his own. Back in September 2016, Mason was invited on his first tour of the country where it opened his eyes to what this world has to offer. One of the main lessons he learned on the road which he has incorporated into his daily life is to just go with the flow because everything happens for a reason. In this episode Mason discusses how anything can come out the way you want it to, trying to create, shoot and capture something different than everyone else, you’re who you’re for a reason so don’t try to be someone you’re not, his struggles with being severely overweight, a question he wishes someone would ask him and don’t judge by what you see on the surface. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 50: While on a trip to New York City in 8th grade there was something about the city that pulled Tyler in and he felt it was a place he needed to be. Growing up in Tallahassee, Florida was a much different place than the hustle and grind of Manhattan. At 23 years young he is the art director for Gary Vaynerchuk and living a life that almost feels like a dream. Fortunately for Tyler his parents were always very supportive of what he wanted to do and as he began to explore his passion for magic he slowly was opening up the door to another one; filmmaking. His father was a successful lawyer and mother who worked hard in the medical field. Both of which having a strong educational background, they pushed Tyler into community college. He didn’t want to just “get a job” and this was buying him more time to figure out what exactly he was going to do. Loving Gary Vaynerchuk’s content and still thinking about moving to New York, Tyler found himself working as a design intern for Vaynermedia. When full-time positions were offered to the two interns he had working alongside he was devastated and began thinking about what his next move was going to be. Tyler set up a brief meeting with Gary as his last day was approaching which ended up turning into a forty-five minute taxi ride of the two of them talking. Tyler was given him a one month internship to personally work for him and within two weeks he had a full time offer presented before him to work as his art director of his personal brand “Gary Vee.” In this episode Tyler discusses staying a child at heart because then you’re never scared of anything, people do not have a good enough relationship with the fact that they will die one day, creating content that is impactful, working with a small team and capturing ideas that might not be used now but could be used later, wanting to do too much and not recognizing where he is at, focus on one thing at a time and getting really good at it, working alongside Gary has taught Tyler to live without regret, everyone is wrapped up in their own shit and doesn’t care as much as you think they do, even with how much you think you know there is always something to be learned and waking up everyday doing what you love. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm

In this episode Matt discusses what the role of an A&R is, learning email etiquette to network and create opportunities for yourself, when in a room full of people that are doing things you want to do be a sponge and soak it all in, everyone has their own unique journey and what has worked for someone else might not work for you, treat everyone with the same level of respect, importance of brand cohesiveness, being a good person will always return in your favor, the characteristics of successful people, enjoying “Y through B” or the entire journey that is helping you get to that final destination and not seeking validation from anyone but yourself. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 48: In middle school Jay dreamed of becoming a professional basketball player, in high school he wanted to become a music teacher and in college he visioned being a recording engineer. As of today he is the the Visual Jockey (VJ) for Steve Aoki and runs his own Boston based production company called NightRide Visuals. His childhood in Haverhill, MA was a variety of moments that have helped shaped him to who he is. Jay’s parents were never married and he can only recall one time of remembering them being in the same room as him. When he was 8 years old, his older brother passed away from a car accident and although this was such a devastating moment for him to deal with death at such a young age, it changed the dynamic of how he looked at life and he didn’t take things for granted. Studying at Salem State University, he knew the only major he could actually complete was music even though he was still unclear of what exactly he was going to be next after graduating. With a little involvement of production lighting for a local nightclub and slowly becoming their VJ, he saw what opportunity to provide this service to all Boston nightlife and protomers and began sending hundreds of emails. Just a year or so later it became standard for video walls and increased production inside these clubs and people finally began to respond to his email he had sent months prior. Being at the right place at the right time, he got introduced to Steve Aoki’s management as they were in search of a new VJ for his upcoming tour. Two years later Jay now travels and does 250+ shows in 30+ countries every year with him while still running his 13 person team for his business. In this episode Jay discusses taking meetings with anyone that is willing to listen to you, doing the research and putting in the time to become the best to stand out from your competitors, creating the ultimate experience that gets people to come back, keeping an open line of communication with your team to ensure problems are resolved timely and appropriately, no one achieves true happiness because it comes in waves overtime, keeping a to-do list to make the most of your time, working out everyday for “Aoki Boot Camp” and keeping it all business on the road and exploring any opportunities that you find interest in because you never know what will come of it. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 47: At 26 years young, Evan is the proud owner of Bentley’s Barbershop, rental property and most recently a party bus business. For someone that was kicked out of his public high school during his junior year, he has come a long way. He grew up in a small Portuguese town of Ludlow, MA where a lot of the kids he was surrounded by came from money and always had the nice cars and brand new clothes. Nothing was ever handed to him, he always had to work for it. During his freshmen year he started cutting people's hair for fun and slowly was beginning to turn it into a business. Knowing he would never get his GED, he attended Mill Pond School in Springfield, MA which was one of the best things that had ever happened to him. Evan became more focused with his school work when he realized there was no other option if this did not work. He’d get out of school and head straight to his garage where he was slowly building clientele for his haircutting service. When graduation came he was fortunate enough to receive a $10,000 grant from the school to pay towards his barbershop education. After receiving his license he went to a local shop to ask for an opportunity to prove himself where he spent the next couple years mastering his craft and really building a name for himself. What was always a dream for him eventually happened when he opened up his own barbershop at just the age of 24. Leather chairs, pool table with a chandelier, full time chef to cook food while you’re waiting and even a pet duck that can be found quacking around the shop... it has become the dream shop that any barber would wish to create. It all stems back to him just cutting his buddies hair for free, then for money and eventually to where he is today providing for himself and allowing him to in turn make his money work hard for him with the investments he has made. In this episode Evan discusses doing what you love and it’ll never feel like work, consistency builds longevity, everything happens for a reason, unique marketing tactics to get people talking about you instead of your competitors, pushing yourself because no one really cares what you do, showing love to the people you respect and admire without ‘riding them’, not shying away from the things that you fear and attacking them, the 45 min lecture he would teach the world from what he’s learned thus far in his journey and not wasting time because you can’t get it back. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 46: It doesn’t matter how much money is on the line for a project or what relationships will be built, Foley cannot be forced to create something he’s not passionate about. Passion is the main driving force for keeping him motivated and pushing him forward. At just 11 years old and half way through sixth grade his parents pulled him out because he was unhappy and was only being punished while in school. His parents had told the school and state that they were going to homeschool him and instead bought him a Macintosh computer. Foley began to dive head first into creative programs like Photoshop, iMovie and Garageband, had YouTube where he could teach himself anything and he had nothing but time to kill. He got to work. Utilizing his camera skills for both photos and videos, he was paying out of pocket to travel to different shows in New England and was getting into rooms with people that he wanted to connect with. Still unsure of exactly what he wanted to do, he kept at it. Packing up and moving to NYC was one of the best decisions he ever made because it’s where he really began to establish himself and was only two degrees away from people that he desired to work with. As his relationship grew with Mike Stud, Foley eventually made the move to Los Angeles where he narrowed in on his ‘ByFoley’ branding. Most recently he collaborated with OVO Ryan to create ‘Chacha The Wave’ clothing which is focused on beachwear apparel. In this episode Foley discusses the importance of showing people you’re willing to do more for them than you are for yourself, focus on things that you want to be good at and things you’re passionate about to get your foot in the door, creatives going through a phase of not being satisfied with the work they’re putting out and only getting better by continuing to work, treating people the way you want to be treated, releasing a Nike shoe collaboration as one of his top business moments of his career thus far, his tattoo ‘Do Something Today To Make Tomorrow Better’, taking constructive criticism seriously and listening to those who take the time to give you advice and wanting to give his family everything for the sacrifices they’ve made for him. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 45: If there is one thing Kwakes has never been afraid to do, it’s to try new things. Growing up in Lincoln Village in Worcester, he was surrounded by a very diverse culture. His neighborhood consisted of Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, West African cultures, Whites, Albanians and more. Looking back, he doesn’t think he’d be the same person he is today if he didn’t grow up in this environment because from a young age he was always sticking his nose out, trying new things and gauging on his personal ‘skills rating scorecard’ if it was something that stuck to him. Studying at Babson College made him realize grades didn’t matter for the ‘game’ that he was trying to play which was building the right relationships, always working hard and following through with what he said he was going to do. His radio/podcast show ‘Fresh Out The Mint’ was a product from Kwake running around Boston getting involved in anything that was of interest. He purchased a camera to shoot photos for artists and events, started blogging for Laced Boston, saw his coworker at Karmaloop chase her dreams becoming the DJ for Kehlani and was hosting underground hip-hop shows around the city called ‘The Earthquake’, packaging it as his own movement. Instead of wasting his money going out, he continued to invest into ideas he had which was something he had learned at a young age as he has always been very materialistic conscious. Interviewing people on the show has given Kwakes perspective and if he doesn’t walk away learning something then he feels he didn’t do his best. Recently he started ‘Inside the Vault: Looking Inside The Industry’, a series of panelists that answer questions and give insight on what’s happening in the music industry today. In this episode Kwakes discusses trying to be humbly confident in anything that he does, the difference between a hobby and a business is huge and extremely difficult to monetize, removing the safety net as he gets ready to start his new journey in Los Angeles, stopping to care and pour out negative energy for no reason, being laser focused and staying consistent, staying transparent in anything that he does and wanting to be remembered as a net positive. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 44: Just recently back from traveling alongside ‘Party Thieves’ creating video content for his tour in both Australia and India, Matty is living a life that he once dreamed of but never thought it would actually happen. He spent some of his childhood in Irving, Texas and then moved to Berryville, Virginia right outside of Washington, D.C. after his father was beginning to work at a hunting club. In the beginning of his freshmen year of high school, Matty was close to being homeless. His father had lost his job, struggled to find his place and eventually lost their house so Matty would leave and stay with his friends whenever he could. It wasn’t until his senior year when he won a national video contest and was handed an award by American actor and television host Mike Rowe with his friends that he realized maybe he was onto something. Once he graduated, he started working at CostCo and just after twelve months he decided to quit and put all of his time and energy into his passion wanting to see where it could take him. Just ten days later, he was offered an opportunity to tour Europe for the summer with Afrojack and was getting shuttled around from show to show in a private jet. The leap of faith had worked out. Along the way he started working with Boston hip-hop artist Sammy Adams and traveled most of the country documenting the entire journey and recently working with Party Thieves who he will be moving to Los Angeles with in the next few months. Through it all, Matty’s motivation has been to one day be able to give it all back to his father for always finding a way to put food on the table for both him and his five other siblings In this episode Matty discusses what it was like being the youngest of six children, being found by DJ Kap Slap’s manager from a video he had posted on Instagram shot from a cell phone, the lifestyle of living on a tour bus and waking up in a new city everyday, creating his own art and not trying to replicate others, being most grateful for his family and friends, weighing the experience and opportunity in front of him rather than the money he’ll make from it, every person having 100% complete control over their life and always expect the unexpected. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 43: When Alexa first started her blog, ‘A Life In The Fashion Lane’, it became a form of therapy where she could express her thoughts and feelings and she never hesitated to hit “publish” on any post. At just seven years old her father was wrongfully convicted for a terrible crime and served five years behind bars at a maximum security prison where she would visit him everyday. Growing up in a small town in Eastern Connecticut, the story got around fast and due to what was going on in her personal life as well as becoming a blogger, she was beginning to to get bullied by the kids around her. Uncomfortable with her surroundings, at sixteen Alexa dropped out of school knowing that she had 0 intentions of going to college and was able to finish taking courses online. She would travel twice a year to New York City for Fashion Week and continued to push out as many blog posts as she could create. Her post “Role Model or Runway Model?” got sent around to major publications as it talked about the honest truth of the fashion industry and what she had experienced first hand trying to become a model and the eating disorders that were tagged along with it. At just nineteen years old she’s had segments on the Today Show, Good Morning America, Good Day LA, NBC Nightly News, Rachel Ray, featured on Rolling Stone with her thoughts on the Netflix Series “13 Reasons Why” and many other media outlets In this podcast Alexa discusses how there is a lot more that goes on behind the scenes of becoming successful than people realize, having the power to do whatever you want when being in a creative field and a young entrepreneur, being turned down from a Warner Brothers producer and reworking her brain to want something more, confidence is something that comes with age as you grow into yourself, if she wrote a book today she would title it “Life As We Know It” because of how quickly our lives change, importance of writing down your goals if you haven’t gotten the opportunity you’ve been waiting for and visualizing exactly what you want and stop caring what people think about you, give yourself enough credit. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 42: It got to a point where the lifestyle of being in politics was not sustainable and she knew deep down it was time to leave. No plan or direction of what was next for her, Kerri quit her job in Washington, D.C. and moved back home to Boston to see where’d she would end up. Today she is a health and wellness coach who connects with people and tries to help them live the life of their dreams in this moment. Raised in Andover, MA she knew from the age of 12 that she wanted to go to college in D.C. and eventually wanted to work in politics. Everything in her life had always been about making a difference in people’s lives and working in this environment would allow her to help people on a massive scale. After finishing up high school she spent a gap year working with Americorp and then landed at American University. After finishing school she jumped right into the madness of the political world and had the opportunity to work in the nonprofit sector, advocacy organizations, campaigns and ultimately provide aide to some of the top politicians in the country. Unlike any other industry out there, if you worked hard and had the talent to back you up, it was easy for one to raise up the ranks quickly in a short period of time. When her health started to take a turn for the worse as she came down with an autoimmune disease and one campaign was ending with one of the biggest opportunities for another was about to start up she took the leap without having any plan of what was next and got out while she still could. Never thinking she’d ever come back to Boston Kerri signed up for a course with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and began her journey of learning about nutrition, holistic wellness, lifestyle, yoga and meditation. She began learning how to integrate and embody all of this while taking her experiences and trying to help guide other people. If your personal life isn’t in a position where you want it to be then any other external things that happen in your life aren’t going to fulfill you and that's where the importance of both mental and physical health play a role to the overall happiness of someone. In this podcast Kerri discusses how age is just a number and we tend to put limiting beliefs on ourselves because we think we don't have the experience or enough education, your life can look anyway that you want it to look, social media allowing us to directly network with people but also gives us a false sense of connection, what someone can do today to make healthier changes in their life, why getting fatigued from decision making allows us to make bad choices, benefits of food prepping, why she has “breathe u r alive” tattooed on her left foot and why nourishing our bodies and having mindful practices helps keep us grounded. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 41: Since Adam was a kid his father would always tell him, “do what you love but something that benefits others.” When he was first launching his streetwear brand “Lisn Up Clothing”, that advice stayed with him and he decided that he was going to donate 50% of all profits towards charity. Six years later he still holds himself accountable and allows each customer to pick from a list of which charity the money will go towards. Growing up in Saugus, MA he saw firsthand the lifestyle of an entrepreneur as his parents ran a business, Toni’s Own Cookies, and he watched them go the extra mile with each and every customer to ensure they were satisfied with the transaction. Adam attended Babson College, one of the best entrepreneurship programs in the country where he learned quickly that you always want to create a team of people who’re on the same page, understand the vision and are willing to do whatever is necessary to make things happen. With inspiration from hip-hop artist Lupe Fiasco and his ability to create socially conscious music and the world’s first t-shirt bakery Johnny Cupcake’s attention to detail with products and experience, Adam has incorporated both into his brand. Each new clothing line that releases is a new “album”, every product is a new “track”, the collection is printed on “CD booklets” and when the product arrives at your door it is packaged in a cardboard “boombox” with business cards and stickers inside. They’ve hosted different pop-ups across the country as what they refer to as their “tour.” With an industry full of competitors, he has made sure that the customer feels valued and satisfied with each step of the process so that if they do make a purchase they feel their money wasn’t wasted. It not only got them a tangible product but there was also this experience connected with helping a bigger cause with profits being contributed to a charity. In the past he’s been featured on Forbes, Huffington Post, Business Insider and more and he believes it’s only been possible because he’s always stayed focused on making sure the customer was happy and never letting the money get in the way of any of it. In this episode Adam discusses what it’s like to be a Muslim in America today, how he got the name “Lisn Up Clothing”, why he has entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk and hip-hop artist Logic on his iPhone home screen, having a public phone number for followers and fans to call, learning from a mistake of announcing a release date when he wasn’t fully ready, how to tell if someone is being authentic versus a salesperson and dealing with negative people. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 40: Moving away from home is never easy for anyone. It’s the place that has helped guide us into becoming the person we’re today, where our family might still live and there are memories that we will carry for a lifetime. It shouldn’t hold us back from wanting to explore and see what else this world has to offer. When Kim Kunzler finished college at Indiana University, she packed her bags knowing not one single person or even having the chance to visit and decided to move to Boston. Originally from Downers Grove, Illinois right outside of Chicago, Kim had spent her entire life in the midwest. She went to the big University alongside 40,000 undergraduate students and there she started to get a taste of the business world. Unsure of what she really wanted to do she tried anything that sounded interesting to her such as attending different workshops like Investment Banking and Design until a friend had pointed her to check out RECESS, an entrepreneurship festival that Mark Cuban was affiliated with. She instantly fell in love with the energy of the people involved and knew this is where she was meant to be. Kim started working for Viral Gains, a startup based in Boston that focused on video distribution and having prior experience launching her own entrepreneurial venture in college, she decided to create “TREPI Vlog” which introduced new startups every week to its audience and broke down the core values and vision of the company. She chose Boston knowing that it was a friendly hub for the entrepreneurship world because of all of the available resources like Harvard Launch Lab or MassChallenge and that the city has some of the most intelligent people in the world studying here. As if she was a sponge, she wanted to soak in all of it but what's interesting is that along her journey thus far she has realized that at the end of the day we’re all on the same playing field no matter where you come from, how much money you have or who your parents are. People have more advantages than they think they do regardless if they’re a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond. At the release of this podcast Kim now has 18 vlog episodes out available where she has spoken to the host of the Purpose in the Youth podcast as well as technology, fashion, fitness, and a variety of other startups. In this episode Kim discusses why people are choosing to work in the startup world more versus the corporate route, you think you know where your life is going but you really never know, entrepreneurship is a mental game of tricking your brain and believing in what you’re setting out to accomplish, remembering that there is someone out there who could take the hand you’ve been dealt and still win, having goals and making day by day steps to get you closer to them, changing the pace when you’re feeling unmotivated or uninspired, being true to yourself and trying to figure out who you’re rather than think your life has to be similar to someone else. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 39: Even with being connected to the world at just a fingertip away, Matt has been able to stay grounded and have direction for where he has wanted to take his life. It hasn’t been easy for him and the path of getting him to where he is today hasn’t always been clearly laid out. What’s helped him along his journey has been spending a lot of time alone to reflect and learn without anyone distracting him. He grew up in a small town in Whately, MA where he learned how to understand people, build patience and become a caring and genuine person. Matt attended Holyoke Community College pursuing video for a year where he would stay late to learn editing software and was making use of all the available equipment the school had to offer. Freelance opportunities started to roll in steady so he dropped out of school, quit his job and went head first into editing and he became obsessed with it. 2014 seemed to be the year that everything started to click. He worked alongside singer-songwriter Sebastian Mikael and went on a radio run for several weeks with him after his big release of “Last Night ft Wale”, hopped on Huey Macks ‘Pretending Perfection’ tour which he appreciated the chance to travel a bit of the U.S. and eventually got pulled out to live in LA for sometime working with artist Bobby Grant who he had met via Twitter. Working strictly with Bobby for sometime and even doing a couple dates with him on the West Coast for a Blackbear run, LA had shown Matt it was simply just a location where he worked and that it only made sense to be there when he was fully confident in what he was producing. Chicago was his next stop where he moved in with his friend Jake Reeder, a creative with a similar mindset as him and he began operating out of the midwest with one of his new clients “Lil Bibby”. All the while living there he was still accepting business in MA and was frequently making the 16 hour drive to and from Chicago. There was no question if Matt was committed to his passion and he was making sure to jump on any opportunity that excited him and made sense for both parties. Now living back his hometown, Matt is focused on being able to visually bring feelings to his projects and is fine tuning his craft before he moves onto something else. In this podcast Matt discusses how having a ‘to do list’ and being organized helps him get things done, nothing is ever going to be perfect because it’s just an idea, having an outlet to destress in difficult situations, showing gratitude towards the people around him that make an impact, taking anything you love and treating it as something super important and not comparing yourself to anyone else because everything you do is moving you forward. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 38: It was the first time Matt had ever been invited to the X Games alongside fourteen other fortunate riders in the 2014 Shanghai, China competition. Nervous and only 19 at the time, he didn’t do so great on his first run in the contest. With some time in between before his second attempt he pictured his dream run and when the bell rang he was confident. He knew he had been working for this moment all his life. He placed 1st and won gold medal. Raised in Woburn, MA, he would ride his bike to school every morning and hit up local spots along the way, frequently marked late because of this. With a bit of convincing and setting a timeframe, his parents allowed him to leave high school in 10th grade. He got his GED and promised them if he didn’t have it figured out by 20 he would go back to school. Every move Matt has made has been calculated and strategic. He got a job at a local BMX shop, which he knew would help him pay for flights, meet people within the industry and would ultimately give him a list of contacts to hit up when the time was right. His boss at the time Ronnie Booner, told him if he started riding Subrosa and Shadow Conspiracy parts, he’d do his best to get him into major contests. Having confidence in Ronnie’s word Matt tossed his old bike and built a new one. He participated in ‘Simple Sessions’ the biggest competition in Europe, flew out to Arizona to film with the legendary filmer Bobby Kanode, traveled to every stop on Subrosa’s team New England tour and was genuine in the relationships he was building. With time he slowly worked his way from the Flow Team, to the Skeleton Crew, to finally being a Pro rider for both Subrosa Brand and Shadow Conspiracy. Riding has given Matt confidence not only in the competitions he has won or the tricks he’s been able to land, but also in himself as a person and any situation he is faced with. In this episode he elaborates on how riding is a 50/50 game of both mental and physical health, how his signature handlebars ‘Ray Bars’ came to life, how not having a lot as a kid taught him to work hard for what he wanted, living without regret especially if you enjoyed it in the moment, never dreaming too big as long as there is a plan to make it happen, making an impact on the kids that look up to him, throwing himself off rooftops doing incredible tricks and traveling the world just from riding his bike. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 37: In Long Beach, California, Andrew Morgan has transformed his living space into his workshop, out of which he runs a low volume, high quality clothing manufacturing operation. He works mainly with repeat customers that he has built relationships with and has grown with these brands along their journey. It all started back in Florence, Massachusetts, where in eighth grade he started riding scooters and fell in love with the sport because it was a mix between skateboarding and BMX, and he got good at it rather quickly. At 16, while he was in vocational high school for metal manufacturing, he launched his first business “System Scooters”. He started producing scooter parts in school at no cost because of his access to the material and therefore was making 100% profit selling scooter bars. Dropping out of high school at the beginning of his senior year, he left for California to work at the office of Fuzion Scooters, his new sponsor. He took advantage of the opportunity to get away and try something new. After just three months of being surrounded by people who didn’t actually care for the sport, and growing slightly homesick, he left back to the east. He launched his first clothing line “Exito Clothing”’ which was influenced by streetwear brands like Diamond Supply and Benny Gold. Exito sponsored local skaters to rock the gear which helped the brand gain traction and ultimately receive orders from local skate shops to sell his products in store. After another trip west for about a year, he found himself back in the house he grew up in. He transformed the basement into a working space where he began creating high quality products with a sewing machine, and continued to improve his craft over the next two years. With the money Andrew and his then girlfriend (now fiancee) were able to make from refurbishing a van into a living space and selling it, they packed their car and headed West to their new spot, where they now live. His main focus is keeping his customers happy with their products. Any spare time he has these days, he spends on the new collection for his self-titled brand ‘Andrew Morgan’. In this episode we discuss how Andrew was able to build confidence in himself because of scootering, being patient and not rushing the final product, how he started off with just a trunk full of gear and transformed it into a full manufacturing operation with high-end machinery, how being uptight about detail has made him want to make sure every piece of his product is thought through, his tattooing hustle helping him make money without having to work for someone else, why he would sit down with Will Smith if he could and not wasting your time doing something you don’t love. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 36: For only being 25 years young, Jitta has figured out a way to make a living doing what he loves everyday. It all started when he uploaded his first song to the internet for the world to hear, but if you came across him on the street and asked if he was “a recording artist” he’d politely decline and state “I’m an artist / artist.” He was born in Connecticut and raised in Florida with three siblings. His mother had them at a very young age and put them up for adoption. Even though they were adopted by separate families, they were fortunate to grow up in the same neighborhood, in houses next to one another. Jitta moved back up to CT where he went to high school and then gave a local trade school a shot. He learned computer networking and began building his social media presence. At the same time he was in school, he was working on his music and uploading it to the internet. Local radio station joc, Joey Franchize of Hot 93.7 (Hartford, CT) heard one of his songs and suggested he submit his music to a contest Drake was hosting, which was seeking young talent to be given a chance to open up for him on his 20 city 2012 ‘Club Paradise’ tour that was accompanied by J. Cole, Waka Flocka Flame, Meek Mill, 2 Chainz and French Montana. Needless to say, Jitta won and was opening up for Drake- the second time he had ever stepped on a stage, and on the first tour he had ever been on. Coming off the tour he started getting involved with the EDM/Trap scene and was working with Diplo, who grew up in the same city Jitta did in Florida. Eventually moving out to Los Angeles gave him exposure to the art scene and the idea that you could make a killing if you execute correctly. With inspiration from people like Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss and style of character creation from Bob’s Burgers, this second artist within him had begun to emerge. When the sun is up you can bet that Jitt is too, whether it be skating around his home in North Hollywood looking for inspiration for his next project, working with artists from production to songwriting, or just kicking it at his crib plotting his next move, he makes sure to finds ways each and everyday to “wow” himself, be grateful for the opportunities he’s had and for those to come in the future. In this episode we discuss where the ‘Lumber Life’ branding comes from, some of his big moments such as chopping it up with DJ Premier from a mentor standpoint, the perspective that you bring everything into the world if you’re a creator, life being a time to love, to hate and to experience different situations, being raised by his adopted father who was paralyzed from the neck down and what lessons he taught him, where he got his name ‘Jitta On The Track’ from and why he wrote, designed and created his first book “Purgatory.” — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 35: People sometimes say, “the world doesn’t revolve around you” but in Gordyland’s case, it does because he has created his own. Raised on the southside suburbs of Minneapolis, he had two passions growing up: skateboarding and playing music. In his early years he wasn’t tempted to try alcohol or drugs because he and his friends were focused, they were selling CD’s out of their lockers and packing 400-500 people at shows for their band. With a three month tour starting just four days after he graduated high school, he broke the news to his father he wouldn’t be going to college and was hitting the road to tour the country. After traveling for 2.5 years, and gaining traction with the designs he had done for not only his band but others, he found himself sitting in a classroom at Minneapolis College of Art and Design wanting to become great and was locked in. College was coming to a close and he spent a couple years dabbling with different agencies that worked alongside Target, New Balance, Red Bull, Colt 45 and more and was even a creative director at a local sneaker boutique. After a breakup with his girlfriend and wanting to move to Los Angeles, his friend Mod Sun, a musician himself, offered him a place to stay in North Hollywood. So Gordy packed his bags and headed West. Once settled, things started to turn in his direction. He went back on the road with Mod, traveling domestically and overseas to Europe. He has done work with Mike Posner & Blackbear, and most recently his new gig as a designer for Girl Skateboards. No matter what has been tossed his way, he stays consistently positive all the time- something he has cultivated into his brand “Gordyland”, the idea of creating your own universe and curating your own life. In this episode we discuss the power of staying young at heart, being open to suggestions but not being controlled by what people think, understanding people don’t care even when you think they do, the idea of stop saying yes to shit you hate, protecting your craft and knowing your limits, importance of discipline in remembering what you want at every moment and lastly becoming a master of what you love in order to do it for the rest of your life. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
Episode 34: Now the co-founder and ceo of Boston based athletic company, York Athletics Manufacturing, Mark has had quite the journey getting him to this position. Aside from trying different sports growing up, skateboarding and snowboarding gave him a chance to step away from the real world and be at one with himself and the small community of people he had became friends with. Studying at the University of Vermont gave him insight that there were unconventional ways to making a living aside from the typical 9-5 and if you followed your passion it would work itself out. After finishing school he packed a van with his buddies and headed west to Oregon where he worked at Van’s Skateboard/Snowboard camp as a seasonal help worker, then onto being a part of Nike’s second attempt launch to breaking into the skateboarding industry, Norton Motorcycles as their U.S. brand re-launch team, Puma as an International Product Line Management and then eventually to taking a leap of faith with his own venture McGarry & Sons with his wife Elizabeth.

Born and raised in Holyoke, MA, he was one of ten children in a very close and supportive family. His mother taught the children to treat people the way you wanted to be treated and to show love for the people you cared about. After having four operations on his ears by age 13- which held him back a few grades in school he moved away to Linden Hill School, an hour away from home. When he finished up an associates degree at Holyoke Community College (aka Hobert Community College), he eventually found his way to the Hampden County Sheriff’s Department where he has worked since 1987 and spent the past fifteen years taking inmates out to do community service. Bird understands that everyone makes mistakes and has taken on a leadership role of being a mentor to these guys, most of whom are just kids who made mistakes or have minor drug charges.

Episode 32: During his sophomore year at Boston University, Tim saw an opportunity to bridge the rest of the world with the Boston music scene. He had just seen one of his first shows, Wiz Khalifa at the Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge, MA. Tim always enjoyed writing growing up, had a good taste for music and recognized he could be part of the scene and not just a fan. A year and a half later after launching his blog, The Fresh Heir, he had written over 1,500+ articles, album reviews, reviews of shows he had attended, and more- all by himself- and was creating as much content as possible. All the while he was slowly beginning to build genuine relationships with people in the industry. He booked Chance The Rapper his very first show in the city (who is now headlining Boston Calling music festival in May!), he has played a role in creative direction and management for artists like Cam Meekins, Cousin Stizz, Michael Christmas and many more. One of the main reasons he has gotten to where he is today is because he has never chased the money, he’s only chased after what his passions have been. Tim elaborates on some of the biggest moments of his career to date-achievements like selling out Paradise Rock Club two weeks before the show and waking up to a text of a video of Drake on his birthday with the OVO crew bumping “Shoutout”, a Stizz record. We talk about planning for the long-run, letting relationships build naturally and organically, being patient and letting life take its course, not burning bridges, the perspective that luck is when preparation meets opportunity, and the idea of just starting something but being a student willing to study and learn. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm

Growing up in Stratham, New Hampshire she figured out early in her life that this was what she wanted to do and has put all of her energy into building this career. The word “no” isn’t something she likes to hear but it doesn’t stop her… it only motivates her. Before working with Dynasty Models and Talent, a Boston based agency, she understood that not every opportunity would be the perfect fit for her. She would strategize by looking at what she brought to the table and what agencies were looking for. In the past, Kalie took the lead role dancing in a music video for Jeffrey Miller.
