  • QGPod 73 - Social Media
    For this episode of the podcast, Anson and Chris dove into a topic that we all have experience with, social media. Social media had changed the world as we know it, and 2020 has shown us so of the extremes that get exposed about society, both the good and the bad. As humans, we’re not very well equipped to deal with many of the issues that social media has brought about, and we’re still trying to figure these things out from both a legal and humanitarian perspective. It’s brought the world together, but ah the same time it has made many of us feel more isolated than ever. We wanted to share some of our experiences with the various platforms over the years, as we’ve both been there and had our own unique experiences since the very beginning. What kind of unique things have happened to you through social media? We’d love to know and perhaps even share some of those tales through our platform..which happens to largely be featured on social media. What can we say, it’s one of the best ways to connect and stay connected with our local, and global communities!

  • QGPod 72 - Rapper & Producer Eligh

    On this episode of the podcast, the guys deviated from their usual up and comer entrepreneur story to bring you a conversation with a legend...no literally a Living Legend by the name of Eligh. Eligh is rapper, producer, and artist with a discography that extends back into the early 90s, and his musical prowess continues as he has a couple of albums on deck that are sure to bring those legendary vibes into your life. It was an absolute pleasure to chat with an artist that has played such an impactful role in their life for nearly two decades, and as the music business evolves, he has found his stride in fostering a community of fans and followers that have been a new breath of life in his journey as a creator. They talked about that journey, and he dropped some insight into what it’s been like as an artist who began their career before social media. But that hustle mentality never dies, and Eligh is resilient as ever and still pushing new music and art as we travel through the apocalyptic landscape that is 2020. Whether you’re also die hard living legends fan, a fellow artist, or just need some positive vibrations in your life, we hope you enjoy this conversation about everything art and music.

  • QGPod 71 - Candace Crowhurst Founder of The Virtual Studio

    On this episode of the Quality Goods Podcast, Anson and Chris were joined by Candace Crowhurst, founder of The Virtual Studio. When covid struck earlier this year, Candace was quick to realize the need for fitness and community was going to need to evolve, so she was jumped at the opportunity to found The Virtual Studio, a place for trainers to connect with those seeking a way to stay fit through quarantine and remain safe while doing so. Big changes mean new opportunities, and Candace was quick to flex her entrepreneurial mind set and resourcefulness, and created a business to bring fitness into peoples homes and socially distant spaces, all while giving back to social causes in her community. We talked about her unorthodox road into the fitness biz, the constant pivoting that is required when navigating uncharted territory, and some ways we can stay fit and safe while doing so. Whether you’re a fitness junkie, just trying to maintain, or are completely new to exercise, we hope you enjoy this conversation about entrepreneurship & fitness.

    Anthony Renowitzky is a real estate agent with Fohl & Hernandez based in the East Bay. He’s been buying and selling houses in this market for a decade plus, and his real estate endeavors are only continue to grow through the pandemic. The guys discussed his life-long desire to work in the real estate business and what got him to finally pull the trigger and commit to the house slanging lifestyle. We all know that real estate is a dynamic market, that can come with some high highs, and some low lows, and we touched on how to be persistent and ride out those tough times, because there will always be greener grass on the other side of the pasture.

  • QGPod 68 - Eric Denniston of Robots&Balloons
    On this episode of the podcast, Anson and Chris connected with Eric Denniston, former Co-Owner of Studio 1 Zero in Los Angeles, and the man behind Robots&Balloons. As a veteran of the music industry, Eric has seen and done it all throughout his musical tenure in the entertainment capital of the world. From runner in a legendary studio, to nearly landing a lucrative record deal and everything in between, they touched on all kinds of creative facets surrounding the creation of music. Eric is proof that success in creative endeavors not only requires talent, but hard work, networking, smart decision making, and always keeping an open mind. You never know when ideas are going to strike, but you can put yourself in an environment that is far more conducive to creativity, and he’s been keen to keep himself immersed in that kind of environment forever.

  • QGPod 66 - COVID Business with Danny 'V-Tron' Varela

    On this episode of the podcast, the guys welcomed back their good friend and fellow quality goods crew member, Danny Varela. Danny V aka V-Tron is the DJ for House of Whales and former Music Supervisor of a startup that suffered massive layoffs at the beginning of COVID. Thankfully, he and his colleagues were able to parlay that into a makeshift production company, but not everyone in this climate is so fortunate. They got into a lot of covid talk…about how collaboration is changing with the remote lifestyle, how we as quality goods are going to pivot to accommodate and promote retail in the new norm, and just caught up for some good ol fashioned reminiscing.

  • QGPod 65 - Workflow

    Anson and Chris discuss something that all creators have in common, workflow. How do you prepare to get in the zone? What does the zone look like for you? What kind and how much research do you need to do in order to be at your best when taking on a task? These are all steps we go through almost every day as we tackle various tasks in our lives. Covid and quarantine have also had a profound impact on our usual routines, and we explore how both we, and society need to pivot in order to survive in the new normal.

  • QGPod 64 - 2020 Mid Year Check-in
    Anson and Chris would just like to check in with y’all and remind you that we have reached the halfway point of 2020. You may not know what day it is, or what time it is, but we’re here to let you guys know we made it! 2020, officially the wildest year in the books to date, is far from over. So much has gone on, we just wanted to recap some of the things going on in the world, and in our communities, as well as stuff that has flown under the radar due to COVID and the BLM Movement . This rollercoaster is only ascending to its 2nd peak as we proceed, so this is no time to throw in the towel and succumb to pandemics, abuse of power, or murder hornets...are those still a thing? Anyway, we just wanna say that we hope y’all are doing alright out there, stay safe, stay informed, vote, brush your teeth, and buckle up, because this ride is far from over.
