My guest this week is Mike Cirker, CEO of Alpha Industries.
Alpha Industries is known for its iconic military jackets from the MA-1 to the M-65. The brand has been in business for over 60 years making pieces that have now become staples in every wardrobe.
Mike and I discuss growing up in the business, the pros, and cons of being a heritage brand, marketing in 2021, and navigating the Kanye effect of the MA-1.

If there’s one person who knows every IYKYK brand, it’s Nico Lazaro. For most folks, he’s the source of new trends, ideas and has been experimenting with his looks for ages. But before that?
Yes, like all of us, he was making business cards for his Tumblr.
And eventually, he was hired as an early employee at Grailed. But his career path was shocking and, unfortunately, more common than we all realize.
Nico has always been a member of the Slack, popping in to drop knowledge bombs here, and I’m pleased to say Rob convinced him to come hang!
Rob, Nico, and Jeremy chat about how he found his way onto the whistleblower fashion site, Diet Prada, working at Grailed, what brands he’s been into, and the superpower of being a nerd online.
Grab a turkey leg. It’s Blamo! Extra baby!

My guest this week is the actor, writer, and comedian Eugene Cordero.
You know his acting from massive shows like Loki, The Mandalorian, and The Good Place and his voice from shows like Star Trek: Lower Decks and Central Park. Honestly, he’s everywhere these days, and this week he’s on the pod!
We chat his early days of improv, getting jacked at the gym, being the "ambiguous ethnicity" and the best clothes to work out in.

This week's chat is with one of the key folks behind one of the wildest watch brands, Alex Mille, Commercial Director of Richard Mille.
The watch company is only 20 years old and continues to be obsessed over and worn by folks such as Jay-Z and Drake to Formula 1 Drivers.
They are known as "a racing machine on the wrist." Yes, they make watches, but the best way to explain it, what if watches were made to the highest degree of excellence inside Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory?
Alex and I discuss his love of cinema, the inner workings of Richard Mille, McDonald's in France, bizarre music playlists, and of course, his favorite clothes.
