  • QGPod 103 - Angelique Austin Director of One Rose of Unity
    This episode of the podcast features an unsung hero and community figure here in Oakland, CA, Angelique Austin. As the Owner and Director of One Rose of Unity, Angelique provides low cost room and board for low income individuals who need a little assistance gaining and maintaining their independence. As someone who has been through some trying times herself, Angelique was eager to help when she was afforded the opportunity to do so, utilizing her spare bedrooms in her apartment to house some folks that needed a little extra assistance. She has since grown her organization to encompass 6 homes in the Oakland area, where she houses veterans, homeless, parolees, and those suffering from various mental illnesses. The safe havens that she and her family provide, have helped many people retain their respect, dignity, and independence, and she is on the path to growing to be able to serve even more of the community. Her story is one of empathy and compassion, and I think we can all use a little more of that in our lives. So check out this great conversation with a different kind of entrepreneur, and see how helping others can lead to true success in the community.

  • QGPod 101 - The Return of Rapper Meezy #7

    For this episode of the podcast, the guys were joined by one of their former and most enthusiastic guests, rapper Meezy #7. The young MC hailing from Berkeley had a lot on his mind, and they welcomed him back to give an update on how life has been for him throughout covid times. Though he is a local friend that they actually had the pleasure of meeting IRL, he was one of their earliest remote guests, as covid had struck shortly after they crossed paths outside their Emeryville studio. Meezy’s talent, enthusiasm, and ambition are larger than life, and the guys never hesitate to invite that kind of energy to join them on the podcast.

  • QGPod 100

    What is going on good people! We am extra excited to introduce this episode of the podcast today, because it is a milestone episode…our hundredth full length quality goods podcast. No big guests, no frills, but a great discussion on what our journey has been like up until this special moment. While this may not be too much to write home about, we believe it’s important to acknowledge and celebrate these mini milestones, because it was no easy feat. But we really enjoy having conversations with creators and creatives from all walks of life, and you guys get to be the beneficiaries of said conversations. So join us for this quality retrospective, and celebrate some of the cool moments we’ve shared over the past 2.5 years.

  • QGPod 99 - Singer & Recording Artist Anjo

    For our 99th episode of the Quality Goods podcast, they guys are thrilled to introduce their first international guest to all of you good people. Anson and Chris had the great pleasure to chat with Sydney, Australia based singer and recording artist Anjo. Anjo has been a passionate singer since she has been able to walk, and she has recently been making waves down under with her new single Always Be, and she has big plans to keep the music and content coming. They've got to thank our friends at Eastbound for connecting them to an amazing artist overseas, and continuing to fuel their musical chats, because it never gets old. So if you’re into artist development, connecting with folks in faraway places through social media, music, or any shade of those things, you’ll definitely dig this conversation about creativity.

  • QGPod 96 - Gatekeepers

    On this episode of podcast, Anson and Chris went guest-less again to address another universal topic, gatekeeping. Now the reason we say universal, is because we am fairly certain that we have all (us and you listeners) encountered gatekeepers at some point in our lives. And if you haven’t...then I’m not quite sure how you’ve managed to get this far in your life..because gatekeepers dwell all around us. In our careers, in our hobbies, in our fandoms, and sometimes even literally at physical gates. Let’s not mistake gatekeepers for locks though, because there is still a way through the gate that you seek passage, but it may just take some plotting and/or some persevering to get yourself through. We’ll discuss some ways to do so on this podcast, as well as some stories of being kept from gates in our own lives.

  • QGPod 95 - Ballerina Jenna Marie

    On this episode of the podcast, Anson and Chris were joined by another amazing artist repping the Bay Area, Jenna Marie. Jenna Marie is a ballerina based in San Francisco, and throughout the pandemic she has been spreading her love of movement online through various video projects such as Swans directed and choreographed by Robert Dekkers, and Movement for Movement produced by Ben Needham-Wood, as well as teaching other dance lovers through live streams. It was a delight for them to chat with an artist from the East Coast that has found such a warm welcome in the Bay Area…which was not something she expected when migrating away from the New York ballet scene. While the ballet scene is not something Anson and Chris are super well versed in, thehy appreciate all things art and Jenna Marie stays putting out that energy that could not be ignored.  Follow Jenna Marie: @its_jennamarie Episode powered by: thegeniusbrand.com - 15% off with code 'QUALITY'

  • QGPod 94 - Photographer & VFX Supervisor Tommy Souza
    On this episode of the Quality Goods Podcast, Anson and Chris were joined by Photographer & VFX Supervisor Tommy Souza. Tommy is a creative jack of all trades, that has found happy home behind the lens of his Sony camera. His eye-catching stylized photo edits have led him to growing his creative network north of the border in Montreal, where he has also made his mark on the movie world in the VFX dept. His love of film has not only informed his style as a photographer, it took him far away from his home base in California where he got his start in the movie biz, and he only continues to work his way up the production chain. The creativity never stops with this guy, so keep your eyes out on his Instagram profile and IMDB account and I can assure you, you will not be bored.
