episode 060: The Craft x Herschel Supply with Garret Louie

This episode is a special edition, in partnership with Herschel Supply & Herschel Vancouver. Thank you to the Herschel team for reaching out about doing a live conversation slash live podcast recording with us at their Robson Street location, bringing the community together for an fun, inspiring night—I’m super honoured. To friends and community who came out last Tuesday evening, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being warm, open, and eager to listen to our conversation. Here’s to a second round sometime in the near future and many more The Craft live conversations to come in this city and others around the world. For me, this one is also special because it brings back my very first podcast guest and dear friend, Garret Louie. A legend and pioneer in the fashion, arts, culture, music & entertainment scenes for over 30 years, he’s an inspiration and leader to all generations. In this conversation, we dive a little deeper into his growing up; big milestones he’s had over the last two years selling Livestock to JD Sports, launching his brand, and getting healthy in the mind and body; the most important thing he learned during the process of selling Livestock; his relationship with connection & community; the things he’s strong at in brand building and what he delegates to others who are stronger at other skills; how his personal evolution has affected the way he approaches creativity & business; the genetic codes he’s leaving behind for the next generation to build upon; emerging trends he’s seeing; what he’d like to express to the people & friends he’s worked and collaborated with along the way; and more.
