Wear Many Hats

Geoff Snack is a senior strategist at Jam3, an illustration instructor at OCAD University, teaches experimental design at Miami Ad School Toronto, and consultant. 

Geoff applies strategy, research, user insights, new ideas, and new technologies to his work for clients such as Facebook, Google, adidas, and more.

Geoff is our first Wear Many Hats listener that plugged us in and wanted to be on the pod. 

Geoff is often mistaken as a furniture designer for all the chairs he puts on Ig but no it's because we like to sit our asses down on some nice comfy seats. And also have a deep appreciation for chairs. 

People often like to post fit pics such as myself, he likes to post pictures of rare books, zines, and vintage punk tees.

Here we are learning how you can teach an illustration class but can't draw.

People says he's a snack but we're going to have a whole meal.

Please welcome Geoff Snack to Wear Many Hats.

We have Justin Mariano and Eunice Chun from the very first Wear Many Hats episode coming back on to do an exclusive “Where ya at” episode. This is very exciting because a lot has changed since 2018 and I mean a lot.

Justin was a flower boy no Tyler although we saw Tyler, the creator at the Garden in 2019 and that was the last time he worked as a flower dealer at the Canal Street Market and also did flowers for our Dahsar Commercial Type release.

Eunice was slinging coffee at city of saints which I somehow still get at Foster Sundry shout out to Hannah and was an assistant at the Gagosian Gallery.

They’ve all grown into big hotshots now that it was so hard to track these guys down. Ones on Instagram the other is not. I had to slide into ones DMs to get to and surprisingly it wasn’t Eunice’s.

I was so glad to have them back on the show, please welcome back Justin Mariano and Eunice Chun to Wear Many Hats.

Kamtin Mohager is a graphic designer and musician which he's mostly known for as The Chain Gang of 1974. 

The Chain Gang of 1974 has been a project of Kamtin's since 1974 no 2010 and it's been a favorite listen of mine since 'Daydream Forever' of the track Death Metal Punk and his next releases of 'FELT' 'Honey Moon Drips' and his latest release, 'Besides' EP. 

I've been following Kamtin's musical journey when he switched gears into shoegaze with 'Teenage Wrist' and now giving us 'Heavenward' Kamtin doesn't stop.

Produces EDM as well with What So Not, Dillon Francis, and Flux Pavillion.

Run's a record label called 'Fever LTD' where he puts out his latest releases.

And he also designs posters, merch, and album covers for my favorite shoegaze bands such as Airiel, and not so shoegaze bands like The 1975.

Yeah this isn't an interview with The 1975 this is with the Chain Gang of 1974, please welcome Kamtin Mohager to Wear Many Hats.

James Corrigan is a dear friend of mine and I don’t say that lightly, I met him with our dear friend Alicia Hogan many moons ago and he’s introduced me to many musicians such as Homeboy Sandman who I’ve also had on Wear Many Hats and is a dear friend as well.

James is the Senior Director of Visual Merchandising that oversees brands such as Allen Edmonds and Naturalizer and has been in fashion for quite some time now.

But the hats he wears closely is being a musician. James will be releasing his new piece entitled Drum Circle where it is composed of 10 tracks that expand from a wide range of music from free jazz to minimalist pieces as well as art rock.

James is one of my first friends in NYC, the first in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Please welcome James Corrigan to Wear Many Hats.

If I were to tell my high school self right now that I would have Nick Thune on the podcast, he would be like, what the hell is a podcast?

I never watched cartoons before going to school, only Comedy Central Presents stand up shows at 7am and Nick Thune was my all time fav. Having the guitar played in with his sets was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen mind you I was going thru a weird singer songwriter phase

In 2008, the instant classic instant messenger love song hits hard.

First time I ever joined a comedian newsletter and the title was Eye Thune. RIP to I-Tunes obviously.

First time I ever saw Nick Thune perform live was at Johnny Brenda’s in Fishtown, Philly with the all funny Kate Berlant and Ben Kronberg and it was a night to remember. Laced Nick Thune up with some DAHSAR gear. Also a few years later at The Bell Tower in Gowanus, Brooklyn to lace him with more DAHSAR gear but not with Damien Jurado during their Sad Music, Sad Comedy tour which would have been so up my alley because those two genres are what I’m about.

Sad Music, Sad Comedy, Sad Podcast episode, just playin.

Nick Thune has put out comedy specials such as Thick Noon, Folk Hero, and Good Guy. He’s in your favorite movies such as Knocked Up, Extract, Mr. Roosevelt, and Venom. He’s in HBO MAX’s Love Life and now starred in the movie The Right One out now.

It’s currently High Noon, he’s good friends with Usher.

Stoked to have him on Wear Many Hats here is, Nick Thune.

Please welcome Nick Thune to Wear Many Hats.

Matt Trigaux is an LA based Creative Marketer who likes the messiness of making things.

Basically he likes to get down and dirty with clients.

I know Matt from Philadelphia who opened up an art gallery clothing boutique called TrickGo. It was for the likes of Johnny Cupcakes but had streetwear sensibilities like the old Reason and Pedestrian.

He also assisted in founding a motorcycle shop in Philadelphia as well which brought him into the wonderful world of motorsports and the automotive industry in order to tell stories and connect with new audiences.

Please welcome Matt Trigaux to Wear Many Hats.
