Rebel's Center of Creativity

Old man James brings some youngins together to talk about the job market, applying, and getting hired...and just how damn difficult it is out there for job seekers and what they can do to stand out and fire up their careers. Warning that James does the "In my day..." nonsense a whole bunch. It's annoying, but we'll forgive him this time, right?

A perfect mix of sports, creative & content, and general work life & career -- Leader in sports innovation and compelling creative content, Rob Thompson joins the Rebel team to discuss his history creating experiences for major brands like the NFL and Disney. It's a quick-hit episode, packed with deep insights from a great dude with an astounding career. Enjoy!

All-new ep of an all-new poddie! It's the Center of Creativity, where we talk about the business of creativity and the identity of creatives, featuring hosts V Zhikhareva, Tim O'Shea, and James Dowd. 

Sam's twin sister Danielle joins us this episode to talk about the culture of drinking in the workplace. Then Sam peer-pressures James to drink. Classic. 

A follow-up to the last episode, except now we drink more and share stories. We thought it would be more fun & lively, but we got DARK. Enjoy!

Johnnie Walker Blue (ACD Jon Feld) joins the poddie to talk about entering agency life later in...life. Where most slow down and think about retirement, Jon decided to go high speed all day, every day, leading content strategy, content creation, and content other things like a damn champ, teaching us kiddos what hard work really looks like. Enjoy!

Rubes, Hammer, & James invite special guest CSO BJ Kito to talk about our shared love of having an inability to focus in life and...sorry, bird is outside the window. What was I writing?....Oh ya, the description. This poddie ep was all about the ins & outs of ADHD in life and the workplace, how we cope, and some savory stats from Sammy Rubes to make us sound less foolish. OH MY GOD, THAT CAR IS BLUE!!!!!

First in a series about making transitions in your career and breaking into new jobs amidst a questionable market, the team talks with VP of Accounts Sam Barrett -- who made the jump from Army Ranger to agency strategist, using his skills at kicking down doors to help brands grow. Makes total sense. Enjoy!

Hammer, Rubes, & James are joined for this poddie ep by Director of Digital Experience, Nate Szymanski to talk about crazy marketing stunts and how brands can maybe, possibly, hopefully go viral. Beyond that, what did they talk about? Who can remember?!?! We recorded this weeks ago and James forgot! Dummy. Oh well, enjoy!

Rebellion designer, Larissa Topalis, aka Weirdo Larry Topgolf, joins the poddie to derail us completely. We barely talked about marketing, but also rarely stopped laughing. Breaking from our norm, we focused this episode on data apps and the current state of dating in this weird world. Listen and enjoy!
