  • S1 E006: From Never Using a Camera to Touring the Country in 3 Years

    What is going on everyone, welcome to the sixth episode of How They’re Here. As always I’m Tyler Webb, and today we have an excellent episode with Josh Moe, photographer and videographer studying business at the University of Minnesota.


    Josh was an extremely interesting guy to talk to, because he is straddling the line between being a traditional student seeking a fairly standard job after graduation and becoming an entrepreneurial film-maker and photographer who is touring the country with artists, forward-thinking businesses and friends. 


    Josh’s perspective into creative work is even more interesting when you consider the fact that 3 years ago he hadn’t even picked up a camera yet, but now he’s on his way to making a living with one. In this episode we discuss what Josh believes to be the necessary traits of an aspiring photographer, videographer and entrepreneur, how to navigate the complex ecosystem of creative professionals in your area, and his strategy to growing his brand as a business. 


    I hope you all enjoy this episode, and learn a thing or two about how to move forward in such an interesting and complicated industry, and gain some valuable insight into how they’re here.

    Myles is a lot like you and me- he’s worked his way up in his 9-5 job, his first son is about to turn one, and he started a media company with the goal of interviewing the world. And while the last point might not *actually*  be all that common, Myles still has countless stories and experiences that any person with an interest in podcasting can learn from, because the fact of the matter is Myles' self-proclaimed best quality is his inexplicable drive to try and learn new things.


    This episode is jam packed with highly valuable and multi-layered conversation on starting a venture like a podcast when you still have the normal 9-5 obligation.

  • S1 E005: Starting a Media Company to Interview the World

    What is going on everyone, welcome to the fifth episode of How They’re Here. As always I’m Tyler Webb, and last week I was able to hop on a call with the founder and host of “Relish the Journey” Media, Myles Biggs.

  • Best of S1 E004: Co-Founder of the Iconic Great Lakes Clothing Co.
    Here are just a few of the best points from an outstanding conversation I had with Spencer Barrett, Co-Founder of Great Lakes Clothing.
    Listen to the full episode for exclusive insights into the apparel industry and entrepreneurship you're not to going to find anywhere else.
    Spencer’s story resonated so strongly with me like I know it will for many of you, because his is one of pretty average origins. He’s a Minnesota bred guy who loves spending time at the lake, the only difference between his story and that of many others is that while he was a student at the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, him and his business partner David started an apparel company from their car.
    David and Spencer have since scaled Great Lakes Clothing to become one of the most prominent, and recognizable clothing brands in the midwest, and their small team continues to grow the Great Lakes’ product line and brand to new heights. In our conversation, Spencer and I talk about how the university system isn’t always the best for entrepreneurs, how he found early success selling shirts out of his car, the biggest lessons he learned out of college, his favorite tool for new businesses, and how companies should use social media in 2019.
    I hope you all enjoy this episode, and learn a thing or two about how to start your own business (apparel or otherwise), and gain some valuable insight into how they’re here.

  • S1 E004: Co-Founder of the Iconic Great Lakes Clothing Co.
    What is going on everyone, welcome to the fourth episode of How They’re Here. As always I’m Tyler Webb, and last week I had the opportunity to sit down with the co-founder of the fantastic Great Lakes Clothing, Spencer Barrett.

  • Best of S1 E003: Creating Video Content in Sports as a Full Time Job
    Here are just a few of the bright spots from an outstanding conversation I had with Chris Jackson, Digital Content Coordinator for the University of Minnesota Athletic Department.
    Listen to the full episode for exclusive insights into the industry you're not to going to find anywhere else.
    Chris’ story is second to none. He started his career as a videographer by making high school football highlight tapes so that him and his friends could get recruited to play college football. After accepting an offer to play Division 1 Football at FAU, Chris continued the evolution into his film career by starting his own production company. Once he graduated, he began training for the NFL but soon realized that he was going to have to make a choice: Pursue his career in video or his career in the NFL.
    Chris’ choice to pursue his creative passion landed him here in Minneapolis, MN and even though that decision came with its fair share of strife- it’s a decision that Chris has never regretted making. In our conversation Chris will share just exactly how he got started, what mindset he used to get through the rejection and how he’s been able to be successful in an industry that costs so much to get into, and a few tips he thinks every aspiring creator should know.
    I hope you all enjoy this episode, and learn a thing or two about how to get into such a competitive industry , and gain some valuable insight into how they’re here.

  • Best of S1 E002: How to Start Creating Content Out of Your House, with a Day Job
    A few highlights of the conversation I had recently with Andrew Inserra and Declan Brown, co-founders and co-hosts of The Backpocket Podcast.
    You can also listen to the full, unabridged episode 002 on this page!
    Andrew and Declan host the BackPocket podcast out of a studio they built in their attic, and they were kind enough to invite me up and record this episode with them. They’re two hilarious guys who make this episode really easy to listen to, but they also shared with me some incredible tips and hacks to starting a podcast and content-based company from scratch.
    They started just like everyone else, a couple of college students with no equipment, experience or knowledge of podcasting or content creation, but through almost a year and a half hustling, meeting people, and trying new things they’ve been able to grow a brand and a show that touches several thousand people every day. In this episode we talked about the first purchase they made, the time they almost quit, the pitfalls they almost fell into and how they scaled the whole operation.
    I hope you all enjoy this episode, and earn some useful information into how to possibly start a podcast, or content-based side hustle of your own, and gain some valuable insight into how they’re here.

  • Best of S1 E001: Founding 4+ Companies & CEO of Target's Latest Start-Up
    A few highlights of the conversation I had the other day with Serial Entrepreneur and current CEO and Founder of Target’s latest incubator tech-startup, Bharat Pulgam.
    You can also listen to the full, unabridged episode 001 on this page!
    Bharat’s latest venture, Runerra, is an app that helps you get food and groceries delivered with people who already live near you, and it can help you earn some extra cash for yourself.
    Bharat is an extremely busy guy, so I am fortunate to have been able to pick his brain for as long as I did, and we ended up talking about a ton of things- not only about how Runerra got started, but how he even came to be an entrepreneur starting all the way back at just 15 years old. Bharat actually recently dropped out of college to work on Runerra full time, so he has a lot of valuable insight into what it truly takes to be an entrepreneur and not somebody who is, as he calls it, a "wantra-prenuer".
    I hope you enjoy our conversation and learn from Bharat’s experience as a serial entrepreneur and CEO and gain some valuable insight into how he’s here.
