Emmet was 13 when he started his first job in the food industry; most of the next 37 years involved food in one way or another. This (longish) podcast is a survey of that lifetime of experience. If you've ever wondered what life is like in kitchens - or what it's like to find your purpose - you'll likely find this episode fascinating.

If your favorite part of the SuperBowl is analyzing the ads you'll love this interview with my friend Michael. He helped tighten up the Rang Tang type-driven logo and he designed our first trucker hat - I could listen to Michael talk design and branding all day and you probably could too. Check him out.
