How It's Done Podcast Cristian Loza

For the fifteenth episode of my How It’s Done Podcast I sat down with my long time friend and photographer turned wheel designer Chris Sempek. Chris and I met many years ago through Honda-Tech and have stayed closely in touch ever since.

He’s always had a love for cars that at first just involved working on cars and photography but then ultimately turned into designing wheels for a living. We of course spent some time talking about the present but we took a deep dive into the past and how Chris got to where he is today in both his career and personal life. From getting his degree in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) to working for companies such as Fortune Auto and D2Forged Wheels and then ultimately Allied Wheel/Raceline Wheels where he would be a huge part in the launch of Kansei Wheels. We touch on everything such as how Chris got into cars, his education, moving from New York to California, Sempek Wheels, Photography, traveling and much more! Give this a good listen.

For the twelfth episode of my podcast I sat down with owner and stylist at Bescene Studios in Maryland, Linh Phan. Linh has made a huge name for himself in the hair styling and coloring industry and is arguably one of the biggest influencers in the game today!

After graduating from cosmetology school Linh began cutting and coloring hair in a small space in his uncle's basement and quickly grew to eventually creating Bescene Studios; a space where some of the industry's favorite colorists now call home. His innovative use of color, ability to try new techniques and push the envelope is what Linh has mastered the best!

We talked about the beginning of his career, teaching, automotive, traveling, his very talented team, opening up a second location for his shop in LA, behindthechair, his upcoming Schwarzkopf Pro color line, fashion, advice for people getting into the industry, the future of BeScene and much more!
