I Love Ugly Audio Show

For this episode we decided to release a talk V did late in 2017 in front of a few thousand people at a design conference called Semi Permanent. This was one of the first public speaking gigs he had ever done, so it might sound a bit rusty. This talk is honest, raw, unpolished and authentic. He dabbles on his beginnings, a few tips about branding and marketing, and what it means to go against the grain and make something of yourself. We hope you get something from it. Enjoy

On this episode we sit down with the youngest MP in Parliament, the Green politician, Chlöe Swarbrick. We discuss her previous struggles and successes as a business owner, why the education system failed her at high school, and how she’s not letting age hold her back from taking on the big guns in New Zealand politics. Enjoy

On this episode we sit down with Karen Walker who has been a huge mentor of mine since the inception of the I Love Ugly. She has created arguably the most successful female fashion brand in the southern hemisphere. We discussed how she stays in peak performance, the importance of trusting your gut and dealing with failure. Enjoy

On this episode we sit down with long time friend of ours, New York based hip hop artist, Oddisee. We discuss his recent world tour, the role religion plays in his life and what it takes to become an artist in the world we live in today. Enjoy.

As the first official episode of The I Love Ugly Audio Show, we thought it would be appropriate to give you a deep history lesson on the brand. Our Creative Director and Founder, Valentin Ozich, sits down with our Digital Director Will, who digs deep asking V questions about I Love Ugly's humble beginnings, the biggest highlights the brand has experienced, the biggest challenges learnt along the way, as well as a bunch of lessons and stories we think you will find interesting. Enjoy.
