Wheaton College classmates—who didn't really know each other at the time of going to school—Matt Adams (@mbadms) and Peter Fenton (@peterfent) sit down for a chat about Black identity, photography, and brand storytelling in today's episode of the Rare Birds Podcast! Matt Adams is a cultural strategist, writer, speaker, and photographer who focuses on researching the impact of digital markets, social and faith movements, and technology. In regards to his cultural heritage, he is half Jamaican and African American, making the most out of what it means to be Black in the United States of America. In his time at Wheaton College, he focused on media ecology, social change, and entrepreneurship which led him to a career in entertainment, advertising, and consulting. Matt desires to utilize storytelling to share stories that promote the fullness and beauty of blackness, human culture, and our collective future.

The creative process always takes some form of investment—usually a bunch of time, potentially some money, but always, a whole lot of effort in the beginning, middle, and end. To bring a project—any project—to life is a creative or otherwise entrepreneurial process, and for many of us who have brought one or more projects to life ("Rare Birds," if you will), bringing creative work into the world is second nature, and there are people out there who want to know how we did it. This is an opportunity to both promote your passion and to break down your creative process.
The Rare Birds Podcast seeks to demystify this process of bringing projects to life one conversation at a time with a diverse set of creative and entrepreneurial types. The guests on this podcast are hand-picked by host Peter Fenton as interesting creatives with a sense of humor who create quality, thoughtful content and use their platform to make their circles of influence a better place. These casual, friendly conversations will ask, "What project are you most proud of? And how did you bring it to life?" of Authors, Filmmakers, YouTubers, Theatre Professionals, and more!
