When you’re on your creative grind, it’s important to get your hands dirty, make mistakes, and get lost in your work. This helps you develop your style, find your voice, and carve your niche. That, in turn, attracts commissions and people to your artistic mission and vision.
Jon Contino is someone who’s been doing cool shit before it was cool and unapologetically pours themselves into their work.
He’s a designer, letterer, illustrator, and branding sorcerer hailing from New York who conjures up dope work for massive brands like Nike, Coca-Cola, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and AT&T through his Contino Studio Agency.

Today’s guest is my brother Josh, AKA Grizzly Wheeler.
He’s crushing the screen printing game, and he’s the creative connect for big names slanging merch in our industry.
You’ve most likely seen him in your feed through your favorite artist’s posts of their new patches, pins, and screen printed goods.
How has he put himself in this position? It’s all about the grind.

The homie Winston Churchill stated, “Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”
Today’s guest could’ve quit, and no one would’ve blamed her. Then again, she wouldn’t be able to bask in the spotlight that she lives in today.
I’m talking about my new friend and family of the podcast, Maddie Poppe. You may know her as American Idol’s Season 16’s winner.
Not only is she an insanely talented singer and performer, but she still carries that approachable, down-to-earth, small-town Iowa vibe that makes her a fan favorite.
In today’s episode, Maddie and I cover:

If there’s something you want to do in life, then do that shit.
The beauty of having a job that covers your expenses is that it frees you up to pursue what you want on the side.
Today’s guest, Emir Ayouni, is a prime example of someone who doesn’t make excuses and relentlessly makes the time to grind on his creative dream.
Not only is he one-third of the power trio, The Forefathers Group, but he’s the mastermind behind G.A.R.M. Company: a newly opened boutique-style shop for designer tools, resources, and goods crafted together with some of the most talented designers in the business.
In today’s episode, Emir and I cover:
If you’re tired of settling and ready to make time to grind on what you want, then this episode is for you.

Lisa Congdon was a late bloomer to the game but has used that as her advantage.
She's transformed into a profound illustrator, author, and speaker.
She whips up whimsical and vibrant art for top tier brands like Crate and Barrel, Facebook, Sonos, Lululemon, and more from her stomping grounds of Portland, OR.
Sure, she wins awards and crushes work for big-time names, but the two things I admire the most are:
Relax and take notes as Lisa is going to unload some serious knowledge on you like:
