Brick!: Surfing different waves of Creativity | student of the game podcast (#10)
Brick is a brother to me. I've had the opportunity to watch him grow over the past decade. From picking him up in high school to taking him on nation-wide tours with KYLE. I've also had a front row seat to watch him evolve as a creative - photographer/videographer to DJ to Producer to surfer/founder of Ebony Beach surf collective. This guy excels at everything he does. It's been remarkable to watch his evolution both creatively and personally over the years. Whenever we get together we have the best convos EVER! Hope you find value in this one!
as always,
the student & teacher in me recognizes and honors the student & teacher in you.
