    We create cool things with Josh Vicente

    This episode was the first recording session of 2026 in the bitter cold of January. Got to appreciate a Massachusetts native to not give af about the weather to get things done. Speaking of getting things done, Josh Vicente does just that. Josh is a maker of all things cool and most people aren’t aware of the folks that make the cool shit behind the scenes.  The rad rocket that holds a bottle service waitress, the Patriots tv sets, or the cool clubs around the world, Josh and his company We Create Cool Things is doing that right here in Massachusetts. In addition to WeCreateCoolThings.com Josh has also started a company called Modern Meeple, a board game accessory company. Modern Meeple solves problems for gamers with solutions like the Gamey Susan which stores all your board game pieces in an easily sortable, accessible, and functional spinning tray. I picked one up and love it, makes for a smoother game play experience. Since we spoke Josh launched the Every Day Gaming bag on  backerkit asking for 15k in funding and raised nearly 200k and backed by nearly one thousand gaming enthusiasts. The bag built for Everyday Gaming. It holds small box games, TCG decks, dice, and daily essentials. It is compact but spacious, organized and vibrant (on the inside), durable, and ready to bring your games on the go. You may ask yourself how does one go from DJing to making EDG bags? That’s where Local Threads comes in, we get into the journey that is of the guy who creates cool things. Thanks again Josh for being on the pod.
