The Start
Posted by Steve-O | Filed under Culture
The place was Footlocker Herald Square, the year 2004. A chance meeting with P. Diddy’s Stylist while working the cash register was my opportunity to break into the fashion industry, and I did just that. I knew I had to make my mark. I left the store on the spot and made a trip to Alife to floss my sneaker knowledge and purchase the Olympic air max 95s for Diddy (he had just run the Olympic torch). No size 13 for Mike B? “I can get them I got you”. After Mikes trip to Miami, size 13 in the Olympic Air max 95s were delivered. “I can’t take your money I want to be your intern”. After a month of heavy calling and texting I was interning at Bad Boy, working at footlocker part-time, Bloomingdales nights and weekends and maintained my full time student status at CCNY talk about ultimate Hustler!

The Biggest Box
Posted by Saint | Filed under Culture, Video/Film
Throughout my various life experiences and environments of growth, I had an awakening a few years back. I would look at people and the world differently since that point forward. I learned that I shouldn’t focus on thinking outside of the box, but rather on how could I make this box bigger. It’s an ideal very simple to understand, but not as simple to live. Sometimes you have to experience those “impacting moment/s” that force that change to not only be understood, but lived. I lived through those moments, and Yossi Ghinsberg has had as well. For those who haven’t experienced that point in life yet; when it happens, you’ll know. And when you know, please follow it’s lead.
