Recently I went to @RECphilly for what turned out to be one of the best panel discussions I've ever attend. The event was part of REC Philly's Creator Talks. The guest, artist and designer @JoeFreshgoods , was generous with his knowledge, transparent, and funny. The interviewer, @karidaniels was engaging and meticulously prepared. The audience was thoroughly locked in. Among other things, the two men talked about storytelling, scaling, evaluating partnerships, staying true to yourself and your city and how to balance growth while maintaining your brand. + the music by @djkendollaz was amazing. Rec Co-Founder, @TheWillToms presented the talk by remarking that we know about those creators just starting and those at the very, very, top but we don't talk about how to make it from point a to point b. My enduring passion is helping people to get from point a to point b. #philly #creators #designer #sneakers #growth #makingit
