  • The Creative Genius Behind Red Bull, Nike and Netflix

    The Creative Genius Behind Red Bull, Nike and Netflix
    Jun 11 2026

    Ron Simpson doesn't pitch. He didn't pitch BYD, the first client at his new agency WinWin. He didn't pitch Bacardi or The Good Roll either. They came to him because the network already knew what he was building.

    In this conversation, Ron walks us through how he built a micro marketing agency on a "triangle system" where the brand, the creator, and the agency all win in the same deal. He breaks down why he turned down the AI influencer trend everyone else is chasing, what he actually hates about AI in marketing, and his creative process where he hunts problems instead of dreaming up solutions.

    We also go places Ron usually doesn't go in interviews. The restaurant concept he had to say goodbye to two days before this recording. What fifteen years of entrepreneurship has actually cost him and the one thing he wishes he had started earlier.

    In this episode:

    - Why "Ron Simpson only has something to prove to himself" is still true in 2026

    - How Win Win works, and why it could have been called Win Win Win

    - The BYD launch story: 150 micro influencers, no pitch deck, one phone call

    - Why Ron bet on real humans when the rest of the market bet on AI influencers

    - What he hates about AI in marketing (and what he actually loves about it)

    - His creative process, his night owl hours, and why he chases problems not solutions

    - The restaurant concept he lost two days before this recording

    - What fifteen years of entrepreneurship has actually cost him

    - His advice to 22 year olds who DM him about building a brand

    - The name Ron gives this chapter of his life

  • Living, Working & Loving With ADHD - Rosie Turner ADHD Coach

    Living, Working & Loving With ADHD - Rosie Turner ADHD Coach
    Apr 23 2026
    Rosie Turner is an accredited ADHD coach, founder of ADHD Untangled, and someone who spent decades not knowing why everything felt just a little bit harder than it should. In this episode we go far beyond the diagnosis story, we talk about what it actually feels like to live in an ADHD brain, the emotional weight, the shame spirals, the rejection sensitivity that can floor you for days. We talk about running a business with ADHD: the burnout cycles, the financial reality, the hiring mistakes, and the moments every month where you think about quitting and we talk about what actually helps: real routines, real community, and learning to use ADHD as a vehicle instead of a victim story. This is one of those conversations that makes you feel less alone, whether you have ADHD, think you might, or love someone who does.

  • How This Artist Landed Kesha, Chris Brown & Ed Sheeran | Dzanar Abbas-Zade

    How This Artist Landed Kesha, Chris Brown & Ed Sheeran | Dzanar Abbas-Zade
    Apr 9 2026

    He arrived in the Netherlands at age 8 with nothing but a violin. Three refugee camps later, he taught himself Photoshop from forums, started freelancing at 15, and ended up directing visuals for Chris Brown, G-Eazy and Riff Raff, working alongside Sam Feldt and Ed Sheeran.

    Besides his celebrity client list, his pink glitter basketball ended up on Times Square and later got bought from Drake's father. He calls this chapter of his life "the beginning."

    This is the story of Dzanar Abbas-Zade.

    We get into how he went from grinding behind a computer to becoming the secret weapon behind some of the biggest names in the industry. How he got his first big break by offering to work for free. How a rare condition where he sees colors and shapes when he hears music became his creative superpower and why he walked away from the A-list client work to launch his own art.

    And if you stick around until the end he also shares one one underrated trick he says most creatives completely overlook when trying to work with bigger names.

    This is a conversation about obsession, timing, courage, and what it actually takes to get in the room.
