11.17 - Keeping it Authentic, The Hardcore Scene, and What Matters in the Fashion Industry with Joseph Keefer (@jkeefer_collection)

You could have heard this episode early, had access to exclusive giveaways, and heard special episodes on our HeroHero!

The boys are back with friend of the podcast, hardcore scene legend, and industry giant Joseph Keefer! Join Sol and Michael as they chat with Joey about how he got his start in the fashion industry, how to build upon an existing community rather than leeching off of it, the culture around the Hardcore scene, inspirations, Robert Geller, working with Nordstrom, mormons selling illicit substances in high school, Napster, how to keep a brand successful, how to build an authentic following, his collection presentation (that Michael was a part of!), and so much more!

We hope you enjoy!
