From discovering copywriting to licensing his music to MTV, from turning a two-way ticket to Seattle into a one-way because of a falling out with his family, Jared covers it all in part two of his story. Want to learn more about Jared Kessler?

Join Gene Balk, a columnist from the Seattle Times, and host Jared Kessler, as they discuss how Gene got started, Volkswagen supposedly changing its name, and what exactly is going on in Seattle.

Self doubt, challenging projects, and feeling comfortable in your own space.

Principal Design Strategist for OneDesign Digital Devices for Amazon who previously worked with Herman Miller, Apple, Sony, IDEO and many others, Cameron Campbell joins Jared Kessler as they discuss design, strategy and the world we live in.

From how she was raised had helped to shape her career to leveraging her Art History background to help tell a better, more relevant story through a certain design experience, Cameron and Jared discuss whether or not we need a strategy for design, how stopping and thinking a bit more about what we’re doing can help with the end product, and understanding how certain physical materials (and social inequalities) can influence how we all work, live and interact with one another.

Inclusivity and diversity in advertising and in the workplace. Where does it start? How does it start? Does activism in the workplace and having a team to help implement inclusivity and ethics help? 

With special guest Yoona Lee -- a Seattle-based, Korean American writer/editor, artist and activist -- Jared and Yoona have an open and honest conversation around the sensitivities and visceral feelings that often-times surround inclusivity and action in the workplace, as well as having necessary but uncomfortable conversations around racial equity versus racial equality, social justice and more!

Keeping it quick and honest, Jared shares his thoughts on minimalism. Especially how it’s helped him and so many others with their finances, relationships, and mental health, that he wonders whether or not it just might be the cure for some creatives.

If the name of the podcast doesn’t say it all, nothing will! 

With special guest Anthony Bencomo aka Biggie, Jared had the chance to talk shop with the owner of Deli Fresh Threads — a highly-original t-shirt brand that blends a love for sandwiches with a love for t-shirts. All into one! 

We discuss things like being honest with who you are online (and offline), whether or not there’s a time when you just have to “take a leap of faith...” Plus, why a hotdog is (or isn’t) a sandwich. 

What exactly does that mean? You’ll just have to listen to find out.
