    #16: Alexis Gay - The Professional Unprofessional

    My guest today is Alexis Gay. While on the rise in her career in tech, Alexis took to the internet to lampoon her own industry as her social alter ego, @yayalexisgay. With razor sharp comedic instincts and magnetic screen presence, she pokes fun at the absurdity of a new professional class that’s trying to put a dent in the universe while navigating petty personal problems. After 25 million video views, countless industry conference keynotes, and over a hundred episodes of her podcast Non-Technical, Alexis has left her desk job and incessant slack notifications behind. She’s now started a new chapter as an entertainer, trading annual performance reviews for nightly standing ovations. After debuting her one woman show Unprofessional at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, she’s taking it on an eight city tour across the United States. We sat down a day before her performance in Los Angeles to talk about her travels in the creator economy and her craft of self-parody. Please enjoy my conversation with the consummate unprofessional professional, Alexis Gay.  Show Notes: Alexis Gay Website  Alexis Gay Instagram  “Unprofessional” tour dates and tickets  The War of Art Book  The Body Keeps the Score book  Box Breathing  Cat Cohen Alex Edelman  The Artist’s Way 📸@swhnorton  🐦@swhnorton 🖥️www.atlargeshow.com …….

    #15: Seth Godin - Idea Virus Patient Zero

    Years ago, I made a pilgrimage up the Hudson river to visit a guru. Conscientious, soft spoken, and sporting a shiny bald head, he had the profile of a wiseman in eastern philosophy. But in fact, he was a guru in the secular (yet mystical) philosophy of marketing. Towards the end of our meeting, as I asked for advice on growing our startup Sir Kensington’s, he wrote a note on a piece of torn paper and slipped it across the table. I picked it up and read it: “People Like Us Do Things Like This.”  Huh?  My guest today is Seth Godin, whose work I've followed for nearly 20 years, and has informed both the businesses I've built and how I evaluate companies for investment. Seth is the poet laureate of modern marketing. His genius lies in his ability to distill complex ideas into clear, actionable insights that resonate in today's attention-scarce world. And in a world addicted to shortcuts and quick wins, Godin’s message is refreshingly real and profoundly human: great work takes guts, vision, and the courage to stand out. As Seth says, "safe is risky." Today we'll talk about his greatest hits -- though we took this occasion to talk about his brand new book, "This is Strategy" which he simplifies strategy into what he calls "a philosophy of becoming." In Seth's world, marketing isn't just about selling - it's about making a difference. So if you want to build something consequential, queue up Seth's books on your kindle and please enjoy my conversation with Mr. Seth Godin.

    #13: Gabe Whaley - Making MSCHF

    A decade ago, Gabe Whaley figured out how to light the internet ablaze and has been leading a relentless scorched earth campaign ever since. Gabe is CEO and co-founder of MSCHF, a Brooklyn-based high-output for-profit art collective behind hundreds of radical and delightful projects. These range from shoes filled with holy water, to anime tax software, to forged picassos, to the mega-viral Big Red Boots. He’s been dragged into court for ticking off big companies, sold a laptop full of viruses for over one million dollars, and gotten MSCHF represented by Perrotin, a leading global contemporary art gallery.  Softspoken and understated, Gabe has an unlikely history for a provocateur. He grew up in rural North Carolina, insulated from popular culture, and attended West Point where he learned military discipline before dropping out. After working dead-end jobs back home, he flew up to New York City wearing an ill-fitting suit for a long shot interview with Buzzfeed, where he landed a job working on viral content. Then once his extracurricular MSCHF projects took off, it launched as an undefinable N-of-one company with both adoring fans and corporate nemeses around the world. In this interview, we’ll hear the backstory of some of the collective’s most radical works, how he leads a team with world class ideas and execution, and how creativity and commerce coexist amidst explosive growth for MSCHF. If you do not know MSCHF today, prepare to have your mind cracked open – and prepare to start seeing them everywhere. — "Creativity is a shared international language" Website Show Notes: MSCHF https://www.instagram.com/mschf/?hl=en Sink of Theseus https://www.perrotin.com/artists/mschf/1181/mets-sink-of-theseus/73733 Tax Heaven 3000 https://taxheaven3000.com/ Marcel Duchamp - "Fountain" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_(Duchamp) MSCHF Perrotin Art 2 - https://leaflet.perrotin.com/view/751/art-2 Art Basel Miami Beach https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/251364524/art-basel-miami-beach/ Leaderboard ATM https://www.instagram.com/mschf/p/ClrA9dRulbA/?img_index=1 Colette https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colette_(boutique) Deal Sleds https://transacted.io/best-deal-sleds/ Big Red Boots https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/mschf-big-red-boots-explained-1234656780/ NOTHING IS SACRED - MSCHF retrospective at Daelim Museum https://hypebeast.com/2023/10/mschf-nothing-is-sacred-daelim-museum-retrospective Magazine B https://en.magazine-b.com/ US Military Academy West Point https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Military_Academy Maurizio Cattelan - Comedian (Banana) https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/08/arts/design/a-critics-defense-of-cattelan-banana-.html Paola Pivi https://www.paolapivi.com/  📸@swhnorton  🐦@swhnorton 🖥️www.atlargeshow.com …….

    #12: Kareem Rahma - Internet Funnyman

    So far, Kareem Rahma has packed more into his 38 years than most people do into a lifetime. Egyptian? Yes. Midwesterner? Yes. New Yorker? Yes. Brooklynite? Yes.  Corporate employee? Yes. Post-exit founder? Yes. Media entrepreneur? Yes. Comedian? Yes. Musician? Yes. Published author? Yes. Film producer? Yes. Pizza gallerist? Improbably, yes Is there anything that isn’t a “yes” for Kareem? Well, tune into his viral Instagram series @subwaytakes and indeed, he’s not afraid to blast “100% disagree” when it’s time to say no.  In this episode of At Large, we’ll hear how Kareem Rahma built a livelihood pioneering essentialist internet video formats for a divided nation with a shrinking attention span, without losing his fresh optimism and vibe of disheveled cool. Between commandeering the L train for his impromptu hit talk show and hopping into yellow cabs to tell drivers “take me to your favorite place in the city and keep the meter running,” Kareem has collapsed the distance between what he wants and what he does by refusing to let asking for permission be part of his creative process.  Thanks to Primary Venture Partners, who generously provided their office studio for this interview in NYC. — Website Show Notes: Subway takes https://www.instagram.com/subwaytakes/ Keep the meter running https://www.youtube.com/channel/UComL0zTx23pc036EI4qojcQ Vice media https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_Media Vice guide to North Korea https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL10943F1A08C72A17 The Museum of Pizza https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcbWIEm14z0 Out of order https://youtu.be/MVu4igkDcgM?si=tL8uKix4_eRG7Vvz Or Something film - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26599297/ No Worries if Not https://open.spotify.com/album/4RUqfq8D23n9XIQOKEUVJx?si=2oElDnPaT8KngoZPqZLTMA The Last Stop: https://youtu.be/1w7qwsROk10?si=Z8hIDuPBB26Y6J1J Sheel Mohnot's takes: https://x.com/pitdesi/status/1832599305699651754 Jacques Pepin scrambled eggs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqKq0bQHnZU 📸@swhnorton  🐦@swhnorton 🖥️www.atlargeshow.com …….

    #11: Amanda Hesser - Building a Digital Hearth

    Cool, calm, and collected, you’d never peg Food52 founder Amanda Hesser as having an insatiable appetite for risk. Self-described as “impulsive” and described by others as “frighteningly ambitious,” Amanda comes off as conscientious and considered as she does intelligent and industrious. So what makes her tick? After following her sense of adventure and love of food to a chateau in Burgundy where she wrote about seasonal cooking, she went on to unexpectedly land a job writing for the food section of the New York Times, where she ultimately rose to food editor of the Times Magazine, and authored The Essential New York Times cookbook. Then in 2009, when internet media and food media were becoming intertwined, she co-founded Food52 as a website and marketplace for people who put food at the center of their life.  In this conversation, Amanda talks about the interconnected ecosystem of Food52’s business model, including its strong community, advertising model, marketplace, and recent acquisitions for vertical integration with heritage brands. She’ll share stories of partnering with private equity investors, the importance of delighting customers in inefficient yet effective ways, and operating in “founder mode.” Prepare to be very hungry (and itching to make chocolate cake) by the end of this episode. Thanks to Primary Venture Partners, who generously provided their office studio for this interview in NYC. “In so many ‘consumer’ business, the consumer gets forgotten and treated like some sort of widget” Website Show notes: Food52 http://food52.com The Essential New York Times Cookbook https://store.nytimes.com/products/the-essential-new-york-times-cookbook?variant=39431971176518 Paul Graham - Founder Mode https://paulgraham.com/foundermode.html Paul Graham - Do Things that Don't Scale https://paulgraham.com/ds.html Food52’s Instagram https://www.instagram.com/food52/?hl=en Amanda Hesser’s Instagram https://www.instagram.com/amandahesser/?hl=en TCG - The Chernin Group https://tcg.co/ Dansk Købenstyle https://www.dansk.com/collections/kobenstyle Uunifetapasta https://www.tiktok.com/@liemessa/video/6923943550111550726?lang=en A2 Milk https://www.bonappetit.com/story/what-is-a2-milk https://puck.news/ Amanda’s Chocolate Dump It Cake recipe https://food52.com/recipes/5102-chocolate-dump-it-cake 📸@swhnorton  🐦@swhnorton 🖥️www.atlargeshow.com …….

    #10: Shane Heath - No Mud, No Lotus

    For someone who’s ridden the highs and lows of life’s roller coaster, Shane Heath comes across as remarkably grounded.  Between the death of a college roommate, the unexpected chapter of fatherhood, and leading a hypergrowth company in an ultra-competitive industry, there are plenty of challenges that most people would be overwhelmed by. Shane doesn’t easily get overwhelmed, but he isn’t exactly easygoing. As charismatic as he is introverted, his cool demeanour belies a deep-seated intensity and unrelenting quest for existential investigation. He’s propelled forward by the moments of intensity in his life to keep creating, keep asking why, and will literally wake up compelled to do a surprise triathlon just because it’s hard. As Shane would say: No mud, no lotus. Shane is the CEO and co-founder of MUD\WTR, a product he created to drink less coffee which turned into a category-creating company of significant scale that he continues to lead. In this interview, we’ll talk about Shane’s co-existing roles of interdisciplinary creative and CEO, his daily practices for energy and creativity, and the changing perception of psychedelics in American society.  Note that as of the time of this episode’s publishing, I am an investor in MUD\WTR and that this interview is separate from my professional relationship with the company.

    #9: Michael Dubin - You Can't Just Switch It Off

    Most people just dream of going viral. Michael Dubin has actually pulled it off. Mike went from being rejected from every business school he applied to and being laid off from Sports Illustrated to revolutionizing how razors are sold in America with Dollar Shave Club. Beyond operational ingenuity and opportunity spotting, Mike made use of his talents in sketch comedy and improvisation to create a video in 2012 that lit the internet on fire and birthed a generation of “direct-to-consumer” businesses. Four years later, Dollar Shave Club counted over 3M subscribers and secured a $1B sale to Unilever.  Has fame and fortune changed him? Not really.  In this interview, we’ll talk about the cultural undercurrents that enabled Dollar Shave Club and provide a peek behind the curtain of how multinational corporations approach acquisitions and divestitures. We’ll also drink a lot of MUD\WTR as Mike talks about his latest creative endeavors in screenwriting, his pause practice with Vedic meditation, and the sentimental bowl in which I serve mike a homemade peach and fennel salad.
