A BTS Look Into Bringing Race Service & Ornamental Conifer to Porsche Brand Store
This is a unique episode where Max Vandenberg and I share the behind-the-scenes story of bringing Race Service and Ornamental Conifer all the way across the world to Germany for the Porsche Brand Store.
We had the chance to sit down in person while we were there and talk about exactly how this insane project came to be, and how we pulled it off against all odds! Moments like this don't normally get the chance to have their story told after all the dust settles, so I thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite moments and stories about how it all came together.

3:21 - The Idea
6:20 - The Technical Obstacles

Life Lessons Learned as a Director and Filmmaker With Luke Huxham
In this episode I sit down with my new friend Luke Huxham! He's a rad director and filmmaker with an incredible life story. We talk about a crazy decision to drop out of college and embark on a life in Japan, and how that led to his entire career unfolding from that decision.
One of my favorite parts of this episode was the back half of our conversation starting with his relentless pursuit of his passion for film, then leading to the importance of getting super clear on what you want and letting that passion consume you. He's had some insane experiences in commercial directing all the way up to the process of making a film, which made this such a fun episode as Luke has a ton of real life practical advice to share on the subject.
If you're into filmmaking, storytelling, and personal growth this one is for you. Hope you enjoy.
