Quality Goods

Kat Nacario and Wayne Lozinak are a bi-coastal power couple and have been indoctrinated into the Quality Goods Fam early in the game. We had the opportunity to re-connect with them during these unusual times to talk about how covid-19 has affected their livelihoods and how they expect things to change in their respective industries. And while salons are in the Bay Area are approaching a reopening date, there is not really a light at the end of this tunnel for Wayne and the rest of his Hatebreed bandmates. We are all in uncharted territory now and business as we know it is being redefined for everyone around the world, so tune into this episode to get a little taste of how it has affected some of those close to us, and see how we can open up shop with safety at the forefront of our minds.

On this episode of the Quality Goods Podcast, the guys have on an old friend Alex Ordaz to talk about reselling and share a few stories we all have as both buyers and sellers. While reselling has long been apart of consumer culture it has evolved since the early days of thrift shops and garage sales as eBay and countless other virtual markets have gained momentum. Even today, with much of the world practicing shelter in place they have heard from multiple sellers reporting record sales during the quarantine. They discuss how to navigate through this vast world and some of the do’s and don’ts. So whether you’re looking for a way to make additional income or just trying to get rid of a few things to make a little room, let’s sit back and see what’s good.

For the first Quarantine Goods podcast since switching from Skype to Zoom, the guys connected with Ekzakt, a Los Angeles based recording engineer and producer with roots in the Bay Area. His sounds may have made it on to your Spotify playlist in recent years, producing tracks for Black, Too Short, and more recently Partynextdoor's new album Party Mobile. They talked about how Covid-19 has affected them and how it has impeded the creative process and collaboration. They got into their background as trained audio engineers, and the difference that made when Zach made the move from the Bay to LA. Regardless of the fact that you can make music in a bedroom wherever, Los Angeles is home to creative energy and a network that is unmatched anywhere in the world. While Zach's presence is missed in the Bay Area, the dude is absolutely killing it in So Cal and the guys been loving what it has brought out of him. Plus, it gives them yet another excuse to visit LA, which they very much look forward to doing once everyone can assimilate back into society a bit. So add some Ekzakt songs to your playlist now, then play them after this podcast.

On this episode of the podcast, Anson and Chris were joined by up and coming San Francisco based rapper Bayway. The young MC from The Bay has his sights set on some pretty big things, and it was really exciting to explore the musical landscape through the eyes of a hungry artist that is getting ready to take the scene by storm. He told the guys of the value of market research, and doing everything that it takes to stand out in an over Saturated industry. We talked about the importance of telling your story, and always expanding your network, because you never know what a particular connection will hold in your future. Bayway has a bright attitude and the willingness to turn that into a bright future, so check out this conversation about the grind of an up and coming recording artist.

On this episode of the podcast Anson and Chris have a conversation about Quality Control. In the age of the internet where options are in abundance, goods and service of poor quality are very short lived.  Consumers and critics alike have a huge influence on quality, because in this consumer driven landscape, consistent quality is the key to longevity. Reputations and reviews have the ability to make or break, so delivering on quality is important if you wanna stick around. That’s what we strive to do for you all, so check out this quality conversation about the quality of consistency.
