    The Art of Songwriting: The Role of Reps and Simplicity | Sean Douglas, Grammy-Winning Songwriter

    Today I'm talking to Sean Douglas. He is one of the most prolific songwriters of the last 15 years. He's written with Demi Lovato, Jason Derulo, Madonna, David Guetta, and the list goes on. His songs collectively have over four billion streams on Spotify. This conversation was fascinating because he does not describe himself as one of the best musicians in the world. He knows how to play piano. He's a singer himself. But that's not what he says allows him to be so prolific and create so many hits. It's something else, and we dive into that today.

    Creativity in the Kitchen: Artistry, Intensity, and the Art of Simplicity | Alan Hsu & Sarah Cooper, Michelin Star Chefs

    I recently spent the day with my friends Alan and Sarah at their restaurant, Sun Moon Studio, in Oakland, California. Within one year of opening, they landed a Michelin star and a spot on The New York Times' list of the 50 best restaurants in the US. They come from incredible backgrounds at places like Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Benu, and Per Se. But what landed for me most in this conversation was how they approach their work, the intention they bring to it, the practices they bring to it, and how that results in something amazing.

    Today I'm talking with Jesse McMillin. He's been behind brands like Virgin America, where he helped establish the company and create the famous safety video you might have seen. He then went on to help establish Lyft and led their entire brand as Creative Director. That's where I first got to meet him myself. On a personal level he also has an amazing creative output. He's a painter and a sculptor, and as you'll hear in this podcast, he walks through the world looking at all of it as a source of inspiration. It all fills him up creatively, and he channels that into these incredible inventions that he puts out into the world.

    On Sticking It To The Man | Bobby Ghoshal, CEO of Dupe.com

    Today I'm talking to Bobby Ghoshal, an incredible human who I first got to know when we worked together in New York City. He served as the head of digital design at WeWork in its forty-five billion dollar heyday, one of the most ambitious scaling stories in startup history. And he's now the CEO and founder of Dupe.com, an incredible app that has helped over two million people find affordable lookalikes of expensive products.He grew up in India, created drawings of Disney characters that he was selling to parents in elevators. He's truly hustled and built himself into who he is today. And when he moved to the US at the age of 15, he taught himself design and never really looked back. What drives him creatively is this idea of making things accessible and affordable for people that he feels like should not be out of reach.It's led to him creating some incredible products and amazing experiences, and he's built an amazing design philosophy around that. So let's dive in and get to know him.

    Can You Follow Your Gut When It's Against The Script? | Ethan Eyler, Lyft Carstache Inventor

    My guest today is Ethan Eyler, a creator, a tinkerer, and most notably, inventor of the Carstache, the giant pink car mustache that became the iconic symbol of Lyft in its early days. After Lyft acquired his company, Ethan joined the team and kept dreaming up unexpected, joyful experiences. What I find fascinating about Ethan is that he rarely starts with a grand plan. He starts with something, follows his instinct, and ends up with something people love. We're going to dive into that creative process and the inventions that came from it.

    Faherty Founder & CEO Mike Faherty on Craftsmanship, Building a Brand, and Making the Greatest Version of Everything

    I just dropped an amazing conversation with Mike Faherty, founder and CEO of Faherty Brand, on YouTube and Spotify. Mike co-founded the brand back in 2013 with his brother after being fascinated with fabric and clothing ever since he was a kid exploring with his dad. He then went on to Ralph Lauren, where he spent over a decade getting deeply involved in the fabric mills and the pattern creation. This is a beautiful story of following your passion ever since you were a kid. "When you believe in it that much, you almost don't care if it sells. You're like — I think it's cool."
