Thieves of Nashville

The Thieves sit down with Jamie Bacalan, founder of Rooted, Nashville's only sneaker and designer apparel shop. Look to Japan, not Paris or Milan, for the next trend he says. The Thieves discuss e-commerce, and the protection of retail that you still have to try on shoes and clothes and can't do that online. Jamie stresses the importance of service, reciprocity, and supporting your neighbors.  Rooted is being of service to the community, value taught through faith.

Photographer Faux Landeaux AKA Orlando Watson, J.D. joins the Thieves to talk about the business in Music City. Instagram changes the resolution of your picture uploads, depending on your followers and endorsements. Ryan notes that photography, like the service industry, cannot be automated. Orlando tells us what's holding back Nashville's art culture. Zac moves to change the name of Music City to Country Music City. “You don’t have to come up with some grand thing of what it means to you or how it makes you feel, just look at it for a second, take a look at what I’ve done.”
