10,000 HOURS

Grant and Vince sit down with a very special guest this week as 10,000 HOURS becomes a family affair. Career car dealer, consummate professional, and father to one of our own dear hosts, Scott Spanier joins the show to talk about work ethic, building a career, and the true crests and valleys of putting one’s nose to the grindstone.

Grant and Vince sit bring their heads together with sensationally smart cinematographer and director Ryan Booth in a discussion of ends and means. Through Ryan’s own winding road of career and creativity, the trio talks culmination, and what it really means to be the sum of our parts.

Grant and Vince are flying solo, together, this week as the duo sit down for a heart-to-heart hostful about validation. Where do we seek it, what does it mean, and why do so many creative people live and die by the confirmation of external factors? Should we try to escape the need for it, or embrace it?

Grant and Vince get behind the wisdom of awesome artistic talent and all-around creative mind Tobias van Schneider this week. German born, Austrian raised and formerly a creative leader at Spotify, Tobias is currently the driving force behind innovative portfolio system Semplice. We talk about what it means to be a leader, and to lead creatively.

Grant and Vince team up with Alex Brouwer, the rapidly rising DJ and fascinating musical mind behind Vaski. We talk about creative evolution, not only in terms of style and substance, but in terms of direction, inspiration, and aspiration.

Grant and Vince humbly welcome US Olympian, Harvard graduate, Columbia graduate, MBA recipient from Oxford, and soon-to-be practicing lawyer Caryn Davies (we know, ridiculous) to the show this week. Winner of gold medals in rowing in both London and Beijing, Caryn calls in to chat about parallels, and what it means to find common thread across diverse pursuits to do better work overall.

Grant and Vince are joined by Jason Zook, formerly famous for I Wear Your Shirt and for selling his last name, and currently continuing to pioneer in the world of entrepreneurialism with his latest project “Buy My Future.” A creative innovator with a unique point of view and endless insight, the trio tackled a tough question: what does it mean to have “value.”

Grant and Vince join up with the high-power duo behind Jaegersloan, NYC-based branding and creative strategy studio, Doug Jaeger and Kristin Sloan. We talk about focus, balance, and how narrowing scope can often broaden perspective.

Grant and Vince are joined by Rachel Keranen, the awesome and insightful author and marketing consultant behind The Bootstrapped Life, an online platform of musings and resources about how live life as an entrepreneur. We talk about the ever-important topic of discipline, and why sometimes balance is better than brute force.

Grant and Vince sit down from across the pacific with the charming and hypertalented Sian Richardson. Joining us all the way from sunny New Zealand, Sian is an artist and designer who recently broke out on her own. We talk about that, and the most pivotal of moments for creative careers—when it’s time to make a move.
