    André sits down with DJ, host and business owner @DJshannonsupreme. As a Toronto-bred DJ and host for 10+ years, Shannon's expertise and catalogue speaks for itself. She was also aired on MTV's 1guy5girls show in previous years. Her expertise later earned her a trip to Houston, working at several establishments & an invite to AstroWorld, woefully causing 300+ non-fatal injuries and killing 10. In following months, the media painted a narrative showing us one side of the story. DJ Shannon Supreme offered us another without the filters and mass-bias. Tap in and don't forget to subscribe as we uncovered harsh truths from that day along with the realities of mental health, business + more.

  • Creating Your Brand x Community featuring 25th Hour's Ace Sindico

    Are you subscribed to us?

    In this episode Alex Eskandarkhah chats with Ace Sindico from 25th Hour, a “boutique creative agency” based out of Edmonton Alberta.

    Alex and Ace chat about the concept of 25th hour, how it came about and where they are headed, as well as the importance of representation, branding and identity.

    The two go into what it means to be a community. Ace having grown up in Edmonton, what he knows and understands to be “Edmonton” is leagues different from what many associate with the city.

    So, believe me when I say, Ace knows better than anyone how important it is to have that representation, and putting effort into shining a light on these communities and building each other up from within. - Matthew Siu
