Back in episode 104 titled Don’t Die a Creative Copy Cat, we talk about stealing waves, riding waves, and making waves of your own.
Not stealing waves is a given. Riding waves is a little more tricky, especially when you’re starting off. Then you have the wave-making mavericks in the game. These are the creatives who tenaciously find ways to be different, even if it means going against the grain.
They take risks. They expect failure and welcome it with open arms. Most importantly, they bet on them themselves, take initiative, and make things happen.
One of the biggest wave makers I’ve gotten to know in 2018 is Joshua Ariza who works full-time freelancing with the biggest brands in the world like Facebook, Nike, Red Bull, Disney, Star Wars, and Taco Bell.
That’s pretty rad and all, but you have a legend in the making when you realized he's rocking his surf/skate apparel brand Chomp and while making time to be a family man and taking care of his earthly being and health.
Josh and I talk about:

Growing a profitable apparel brand
Taking risks and betting on yourself
Using failure as a tool instead of an excuse
How concept is king and the importance of standing out than riding
trends
Using outreach to create your own opportunities
