And we only just scratched the surface. What was your biggest takeaway?

@@futurehistoryxthe clash between corporate and creative, the negotiation required to maintain a healthy brand

I think it's purer than many like to give credit for. Creative and business don't need to clash, they should always complement. There should be no negotiation or compromise when it comes to a healthy brand. It's healthy or it's not.

Thank you for checking it out. Tom is an absolute legend with incredible insights and a desire to help aspiring artists. It was inspiring and a privilege to have that chat with him.

Things you discover along the way 😉

Like capturing lightning in a bottle ⚡

The one and only 💥

Word bro rrr my guy !

Thanks for jumping on and sharing your story. Inspiring stuff and gives us all a benchmark to work towards.

Tom Gerrard is talking about how we all have the capacity to be artist. Our motives to create may differ but it will always come through in the art.

This is a great question and worthy of longer conversation. The sentiment here is that we all have the capacity to create art and to take the endeavour seriously if we choose to. Our motives may differ and the output will be subjective.

@@futurehistoryx Could you wait for like 12 hours? I need to get sober for this conversation. Unless you want some real transcendental insight?

Ha nice. If you're up for it, I'm always keen for transcendental. This is a conversation on art after all...

@@futurehistoryx Art is a process. You don't make art for money, that's not art, that's work. Is the pepsi logo and art piece? Not to me, not in a sense that it is an artistic expression. It is a design made to invoke certain feelings, just like an art piece, but it lacks soul. Art is created to convey concepts and emotions that are abstract. That's my take.

I absolutely agree that art is a process of expression and done for the self although I disagree that making money from it discounts it as art. Why can't it be both an expression and a form of income? I also feel your comparison is apples to oranges. Art is for me, design is for them, 2 opposing objectives.

Thanks mate! Tom is incredible. There's a lot to learn from him. Luckily for us, he's all about sharing his knowledge and wisdom.

You know it. Woody is one of those who has legitimately left their fingerprints all over fashion and culture. Grateful to have shared a conversation with him about all things sneakers 🙏🙏

Thank you for checking it out. I'm glad you got something out of it 🙏

Hey man! Appreciate the support across the socials 🙏🙏

Easy to do when there's no shortage of killer creative thinkers and doers to chat with. More exciting things to come...

Thanks for catching the ep! I got a lot of admiration for Pat so it was definitely a privilege to sit across from him and learn about how his brain ticks. I'm glad you - and others - got something out of it too!

Music and art is a powerful combination 💪

Love the energy! She's pretty awesome ain't she?!

@@futurehistoryx So awesome!!! Thank you so much for this!!🥰

Thank you for tuning in! It's absolutely my pleasure to sit down and learn from creatives from all works of life. There's plenty of other inspiring conversations in previous episode worth checking out and many more to come if you'd like to subscribe and keep up with when they drop 😉

Had a legend on the pod once say "Your vibe attracts your tribe" This might be it in action. No stopping this now 😤

@@futurehistoryx Proud of you bro! All about the vibes

I appreciate the support! Following your lead too so keep doing your thing.

Leader 💪

What a guy! This one will fill your spirit cup

Well put. What the brand represents is absolutely King. The prints and cuts are representations of that. WNDRR have done a great job in finding their own voice and that has come through being authentic in who they are and genuine with what they stand for.

Game recognise game 🤜🤛

It's always interesting to learn of another creative's approach to their work. Glad you enjoyed it!

Plenty of great takeaways with this one!

Thanks Tim! Says a lot coming from someone of your calibre 🙏🙏

Thank you! There's a lot of knowledge and wisdom crammed in there 🧠

Thank you! I'm glad you got something out of it. Adrian has a great way of conveying concepts through storytelling. I've been fortunate enough to have had meaningful conversations with other creative folk. Is there a particular discipline of creativity you'd like to hear more about?

Well actually the storyteller Adrian is my son 😊 and l've heard many over the years. I like to listen to anything to do with the Arts. Thanks again

You come across as you know what you're doing hey 😂

Haha well in that case, you must be very proud. Looking forward to seeing "you" in Westgate 😁

As Adrian put it "No one knows what they're doing. You just got to look like you know what you're doing."

Thanks Lee! You're standard of quality is world-class so this means a lot 🙏

Nerd out with a fellow creative basketball fanatic 🎨🏀🤓

Thank you! There are a lot of inspiring creative people out there with a story to tell and feedback like this keeps it all going. Is there a particular creative discipline you'd like for me to cover?

Keep paving the way mate!

Get stuck into it! Nathan has a great perspective you'll no doubt relate to 🤙

For some more so than others. However, growth through creativity should always be encouraged.

Every culture can be broken down further to several sub-subcultures. Some genuinely want to see others thrive while others, just not more so than them. Thankfully, sounds like you found yourself in good company

Hasn't betrayed you yet!

You know it! Leading by example 🙌

TMC!
