1
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Beyond the Beauty is a production of I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Bobby Brown. I wanted to talk to

3
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: Jake Rosenberg because I find him besides so dear to me,

4
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: he's one of the first guys that really figured out

5
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: how to create a digital brand, a media company based

6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: on social media and content. And I find that right

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: now it's very common, but he was the first one.

8
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: I wanted to find out how he did it and

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: just really introduce a lot of my listeners to someone

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: that I think is so awesome. We're buds, were friends.

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: When I need something, he's there. When he needs something,

12
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm there. And you know, he's like my fourth or

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: my six son, depending you know when you caught my nephews.

14
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: So Jake launched the Covidure when he was only twenty

15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: three in two thousand and eleven, is a passion project.

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: It was just a fun thing for him. His idea

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: was to write about the items that's the celebrities coveted.

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: And now Jake has been on the Forbes thirty thirty list,

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: He's published a book, and he has offices in New

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: York and Toronto. He's hung out with everyone from Oprah

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: to Cindy Crawford to Meg and Marcle and I just

22
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: want to know how did you do it? How did

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: you get your first job with Chanelle? Here is my

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: conversation with Jake Rosenberg. So I'm here with my and

25
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: it's going to take me a minute to even figure

26
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: out what I'm going to say, because he is my

27
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: good friend, he is my partner in some work things,

28
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: but he's also kind of like an adopted son, which

29
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: I can't even explain. People I say, how did you

30
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: meet Jake Rosenberg? And I actually met him when he

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: came to my house to shoot me, And I don't

32
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: know what it was about him or us, but we

33
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: just bonded totally. Yeah, I mean I can remember that

34
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: day so well. I remember we drove up to Montclair,

35
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: didn't know we hadn't met yet. I was nervous, but

36
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: excited and nervous. You've been in Cindy Crawford's closet, and

37
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: name a person you've been in their closet. I know,

38
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: but I was so excited to meet you and hang

39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: out and showed up and I mean instantly, I feel

40
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: like we just like hit it off. I remember you

41
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 1: obviously had a big spread of food I was starting.

42
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: We hung out for the whole afternoon, traded stories, and

43
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: became fast friends right away. And and your style, which

44
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: I want to talk about, is basically to shoot where

45
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: I live with my things, and I happen to have

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: a lot of really cool things in my closet. I

47
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: never wear from really fancy shoes and purses, and literally

48
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: they were all over my house when you were taking

49
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: these amazing pictures. I think I found a couple of

50
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: my product pumps, like for months after that, just in

51
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 1: random areas in the house. Yeah, yeah, definitely. I mean

52
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: I think when we come over to somebody's house, I

53
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: think every time, you know, we're somewhere, somebody's always like,

54
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: oh my god, I totally forgot I even had that,

55
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: Or you know, they get to kind of reimagine their

56
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: closet because we're going through finding things that we, you know,

57
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: feel represent a certain aspect of style and whoever we're covering,

58
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: And you know, going through your closet, there was endless

59
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: pieces that we pulled out and styled around your home

60
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: and I had a lot of fun with. So let's

61
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: just go back and talk about the coverture and how

62
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: you got the idea for this. Were you a photographer beforehand?

63
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: So I was shooting before? Does that not mean you're

64
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: a photographer? What were you shooting? I was assisting photographers.

65
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: But really when this all kind of came together, it

66
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: was it was a passion project. I had just finished

67
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: an industrial design degree. Um I was. I was more

68
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: in the outdoorsy world and obsessed with a lot of

69
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: different brands. But I did not come from a fashion

70
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: background whatsoever. I was assisting different photographers, different fashion photographers

71
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: while studying a design degree. Became obsessed with branding and

72
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: storytelling and and all those different aspects. While I was

73
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: starting to build my portfolio and photography, and I met

74
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: who became business partners and we worked on a look

75
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: book together, had a great time. And this is all

76
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: pre everything, every digital magazine, pre influencers. Yeah, at the beginning.

77
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: This was like right at the beginning when digital was,

78
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, magazines were just thinking about digital properties and

79
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: pre Instagram, pre influencers, pre Instagram, isn't it. I don't

80
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: even remember. Pre inst Twitter was the thing, and that

81
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: was like a very successful piece of our our little puzzle.

82
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: But it was it was all. This was fun, This

83
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: was a passion project. You know, street style was a

84
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: really big thing at the time, and so we didn't

85
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: want to do street style, but we wanted to take

86
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: it one step further and see, you know, who are

87
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: these people, where do they get ready? What? You know,

88
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: why do they choose the pieces that they choose to wear?

89
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: And it was really all based around inspiration and so

90
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: who inspired us? It wasn't there was no influencer. There

91
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: was not then how did you talk people and to

92
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: do this in the beginning, who's the first person who

93
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: did and who is the biggest get ever? Um? Oh

94
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: my goodness. So we won't even talk about like the

95
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: biggest anything, and but we will jump ahead to the

96
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: time where I turned on the TV at Megan Marcle's wedding.

97
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: But you and I did shoot her one day in

98
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: the city together and you were walking in the chapel

99
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: with Oprah. I think, I think my phone my instrument.

100
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: Everyone was like, it's your guy, Jake, what's going on?

101
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: So we'll let everybody like, we'll go back to that

102
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: story in a minute. I mean, at the beginning, who

103
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: were the first we launched the site with six different people.

104
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: I remember it was my you know, our first trip

105
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: to New York. We shot Mary Kate Stein Miller, Eugene Tongue,

106
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: Mona so fashion influencers, they weren't really they weren't influencers though.

107
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: This was like when the editor. It was all about

108
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: the people, you know, behind the scenes. Who was who

109
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: you see a celebrity walk down the red carpet, but

110
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: who styled here did her hair and makeup? Who are

111
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: the editors at magazines who now have become you know,

112
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: they have a whole public you know, personal about them now?

113
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: The cool girls behind yeah, there were It was like

114
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: who's behind the scene, who's setting the trends out there?

115
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 1: And so we shot a bunch of different people, all

116
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: sort of through word of mouth or within our you

117
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: know network, And it was sitting, you know, in a

118
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: living room, cold emailing people being like, hey, we have

119
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: this concept, um, you know, we'd love to come over

120
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: and do it. And it was something that people weren't

121
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: really doing, and we'd go over to somebody's house. They

122
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: would have such a great time and they'd be like,

123
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 1: oh my god, that was amazing. You gotta go shoot

124
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: my friend. And their friend happened to be somebody else

125
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: in the industry, who we would want a feature. So,

126
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, at the beginning, it was all it was

127
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: all definitely word of mouth. We banked a lot of

128
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: content and we're just shooting. It was it was we'd

129
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: come to a city and shoot five people a day

130
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: every day for ten days. It was like no sleep,

131
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: all work, but so much fun. And launched the site

132
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: January two thousand eleven. And the day we launched it

133
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: crashed and we were like, Okay, I guess this is

134
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: something we're gonna do the whole time. Now, Wow, it

135
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: crashed and what happens when it crashes. So we didn't

136
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: expect that many people to come on the first day. Um,

137
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: and so I remember we were at Tracy Taylor's house

138
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: on the first day we launched, and we shot all

139
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: these people and we didn't have anything to show them yet.

140
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: You know. They were kind of just letting us do

141
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: our thing and having fun. And so finally we were

142
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: at Tracy's house and we pushed published in the morning

143
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: and we went off to go shoot during the day

144
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: and Tracey's like, Okay, we're gonna show you what this

145
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: looks like and typed in www. At the time was

146
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: a cover tour Dot com and we got four oh

147
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: four over capacity and we're like, what is going on?

148
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: Like the site, the traffic was over capacity on the

149
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: first day, and it was all sort of like a

150
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: domino effect of Twitter. I mean, we shot people from

151
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: at the time. They're at teen, Vogue and Details and

152
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: Harper's and you know a store called Whole Runfrew in

153
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: Toronto and Flair Magazine and everybody promoted it on their

154
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: different twitters at the time. Jake's Canadian if you haven't

155
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: figured that out, and I'm from Toronto, Canada, and that

156

Speaker 1: style really like kicked in and changed. I was at

162
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: Jamie King's house and I remember that one where I

163
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: walked away from that shoot and I was like, whoa

Speaker 1: been there's been so many account was amazing inspiring people,

166
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: including yourself. But I have been able to be fortunate

00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,119
Speaker 1: enough to work with meat from all over the world.

168
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: It's such an incredibly fascinating thing to watch. I mean,

00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: it's really cool. But you know, your photography is also

173
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, you're getting known as a photographer, so I mean,

174
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: you're not getting known, you're known as a photographer and

175
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: you get to travel the globe shooting some of the

176
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,520

Speaker 1: Instagram than you showing these amazing scenes. And but you're

178
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: kind of self taught in the photography. Yeah, I mean

179
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: photography growing up and I gotta, you know, give a

180
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: big shout out to my dad. There was always always

181
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: a camera around, uh, you know, any stage throughout my life.

182
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: I take a lot of inspiration from him and other

183
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: photographers and you know, different people around the world. But

184
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: photography for me was a creative outlet. I've been shooting forever.

185
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: I started to take it a lot more seriously, are

186
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: a lot more serious around the time I was in

187
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: university and and decided that was something I wanted to pursue.

188
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: There's a lot of influential people around me at the

189
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: time and started to assist and my photography style then

190
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: versus what it became, it was totally different. You know,

191
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: I developed as as a person, as an artist, as

192
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: a photographer and started to shoot in a specific style.

193
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: I think because you know, you experienced it when I

194
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: come over or when I started to go over to

195
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: people's houses. I mean we would we would spend two

196
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: hours together, you know, create so much amazing content and

197
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: it wasn't really about this huge production, but it was

198
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: about a more intimate experience, which is so amazing because

199
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: often you do these things and you say, all right, fine,

200
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, how many people are coming in.

201
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: There's dozens of people in lights and Jake comes in

202
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: with his camera like, I don't do even have a light?

203
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: You have a light? Now? Definitely, yeah, definitely, I mean

204
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: it definitely has has progressed in term introduction, but you know,

205
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: on a specific we call them closet sheets. That was

206
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: to three people coming over Max and we would spend

207
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: a couple hours together, and for me, it would be

208
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: more about you know, connecting with the person with my subject,

209
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: and creating unique moments that nobody else could get, especially

210
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: when you're in somebody's personal space. You know, when you're

211
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: working in somebody's home, first of all, the home that

212
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: I've never been to or seen. You get inspired right away.

213
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: You again, you get a sense of who this person is,

214
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: and then I think, you know they are also in

215
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: a certain comfort level because they're in a space that

216
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: they're comfortable with. And then I mean, it's really just

217
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: about having a conversation. And by the end of the

218
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: two hours, we've we've shot X number of looks and

219
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: had the best time. And this speaks more to Jake

220
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: as the person, not the photographer or the creator of

221
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: this of this brand. But you come in and you

222
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: kind of disarm people because you are really cute. You

223
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: are also really nice. No, but you're also super sweet

224
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: and nice. You are You're You're the whole package. So

225
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's really neat. So who is Jake?

226
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: Who is Jake? It's a big question. Jake Rosenberg is

227

00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: lifestyle media brand and I describe it as a brand

233

238
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: getting into the product space. So it's been such an

239
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: awesome thing to watch coverage Tour grow over these nine years.

Speaker 1: so hard together towards a unified vision for what the

246
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,000

254
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: way that we were doing it was unique, you know,

255
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: it is it is unique. It had a very specific

256
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: look and feels at the beginning of this whole you know,

00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: three years old and never been to Paris. I'd never

260
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, worked in the luxury fashion space. Got off

261
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: the plane. There was a sign with you know, double

262
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: season it that said jud take a picture of it.

266
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: Old and it was just like what is going on?

267
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: And put that on the site and that was like

268
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: everybody was kind of like, whoa, What's what's going on here?

269
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: And and really, you know, a snowball. It was yeah,

270
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: I mean we started to We've always had a luxury

271
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: perspective to what we're doing, but we make it attainable.

272
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: We have fun with it. We definitely don't take things

273
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: too seriously. Well, I don't understand why you're even here

274
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: now or how you got here because you were on

275
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: the road. No, but you were on the road. Every

276
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: time I open up you know, my Instagram, you know,

277
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: I guess because I look at yours the most. It

278
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: pops up all the time. I'm like, where is he now?

279
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: Where is he now here? No, it's amazing. You travel

280
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: like twenty five days out of the month. So I was, no,

281
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: not anymore. There there was a period of time, I

282
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: think for six years there was like no life, all work,

283
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: but life was working life from twenty three to twenty nine,

284
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: let's say I was living in Toronto. Two oh and

285
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: you did make the list few that was that was

286
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: good highlight on Forbes, Yes, Forbes under thirty list. And

287
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, there was definitely a period of time where

288
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: three weeks of every month I was, you know, people

289
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: called me a fetics package. I was just going from

290
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: one place to another to another, and I was I

291
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: was loving it, you know. And I never get burnt out.

292
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: I love it. I definitely get burnt out. But in

293
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: the beginning, did you too. Beginning for sure? I mean

294
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: you'd be on the road for I mean it could

295
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: be up to a month, could be more than that,

296
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: could be come back for two days, then leave again.

297
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: And I'll always remember if I do ever come home,

298
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: or I did ever come home for like a week,

299
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: I would sleep for more hours than like I'd see

300
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: for like eighteen hours straight, just like pass out and

301
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: then get up and I would just go do it

302
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: all over again because I was I mean, it's it

303
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: was amazing, It is amazing. And so how often are

304
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: you away now? And I used turning things down? I

305
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: think now, you know, we've been lucky enough to grow

306
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: the team, grow a lot of different aspects of the business,

307
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: and my role in the business has developed over the years.

308
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: You know, so I'm not just shooting every day all

309
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: day now, but I'm involved in so much more than that.

310
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: And there is other people, you know, taking on tasks

311
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: and and whether it's shoots or generally shoots that I

312
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: used to do. You know, we now have a lot

313
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: of people in our network that that we trust to

314
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: continue growing the brand on behalf of what we've built.

315
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: And I'm so glad you have my bend Ritter working

316
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: with you, which is crazy. I could see you guys friends.

317
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: I know what, I think. I didn't even know that

318
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: he knew you at the beginning. And I remember coming

319
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: across his work and maybe it was maybe it was three.

320
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: Actually he did something. He did beauty work for you, um,

321
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: and uh. I was like, oh, we gotta get him

322
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: to shoot for us. Yeah. Well, well, funny how I

323
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: met him. His father is an attorney who my husband

324
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: used to, you know, do stuff with. And I was

325
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: complaining about this these photographers that were so expensive because

326
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: we just needed to create a lot of content, and

327
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: he said, oh, you've got to meet my Bob Ritter's son.

328
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: I said, I am not hiring a lawyer's son to shoot.

329
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: He's like, just look at his work. And I looked

330
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: at his work and I'm like, he's interesting. You know.

331
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: He was definitely like a kid. Started working with him,

332
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: and I think it's been almost fifteen years since I've

333
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: been working with it. Yeah, so it is. It is

334
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: a very small world, which is why boys and girls

335
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: you have to be nice to everybody because you never

336
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: know who's going to be there to hire you. So

337
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: what advice do you have for young people that want

338
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: to break into this industry. You know, nothing's gonna come easy.

339
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: So you know, work, work, your work, your ass off

340
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: work here. You know, work as hard as you can

341
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: try and have a perspective and a vision and believe

342
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: in that, don't you know. Don't look at what somebody

343
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: else is doing and think, oh, I'm going to try

344
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: that also, but you know, have your own version of

345
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: whatever you're doing. And I think for me, the most

346
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: important thing that I have done and been lucky enough

347
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: to do over the past years is surround myself with

348
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: people I trust. And that's that's that's a huge one

349
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,719
Speaker 1: for sure. You know, I and and be part of

350
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: people's networks. I think, you know, I can't tell you,

351
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: especially in the beginning of all this, when I started

352
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: to build that network of people and we were all

353
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: kind of at different stages in our careers, whether you know,

354
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: it's someone like you where I'm so lucky to be

355
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: able to call you and be like, what do you

356
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: think about this idea and and sit down and have

357
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: a heart to heart that Yes, who's on your board?

359
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: Who else is on your board? Probably growing Cindy Crawford

360
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: and Bobby Brown. I'm in good company too, so yes,

361
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: and rely on you know, you've You've got a lot

362
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: of different peers in life. I can't you know when

363
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: we were when I was twenty five or twenty six,

364
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: you know, I had friends and we were all starting

365
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: different things, and you know, staying up to you know,

366
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: one in the morning being like all right, so like

367
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about doing this, like can I just run it?

368
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: Buy you and getting honest feedback, you know, be honest

369
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: with yourself, be honest with the people who are around you,

370
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: and and just don't stop and what what grounds you?

371
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: Because literally, if anyone that's gonna look at your Instagram

372
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: and see you at all these parties, all these fabulous places,

373
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: they can't always be as fabulous as you make them look.

374
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you sometimes must be like tired and crabby

375
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: and say I want out of here. I mean, I

376
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: can't tell you how exhausting it all. And it might

377
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: look fabulous and it is fabulous, to be honest, it is.

378
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: It is a lot of fun, it's exhausting, it's exhilarating.

379
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm I missed my family every single day.

380
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: My family is the most important thing in my life,

381
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: and so you know, it's it's great to travel around

382
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: all the time. But my sister has twin boys. Do

383
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: I want to go home and see them every day?

384
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: Of course? And you have a girlfriend, and I do

385
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: have a love Bobby Approved, Bobby Approved, which I could

386
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: not be happier, so special. You know, my kids love her,

387
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, and so being away is not easy,

388
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: and I do love the fact that now my role

389
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: is developed, that I get to spend time with the

390
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: team in the office. I was always the hardest part too,

391
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: is like I'd be away as the team grew, I

392
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: could be away for weeks and have to figure out Okay,

393
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: so I live my daytime work where I'm on set

394
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: shooting or I'm directing something for a client or all that,

395
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: and you get home from that and then there's all

396
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: the all the work that needs to be done after

397
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: with the team back home. And because my role was

398
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: split photographer, director, creative director, co founder, um, there's a

399
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: lot of different like business elements that need to be

400
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: dealt with, a lot of hats and then creative elements.

401
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: So what's next for Jake? What's next for Jake? So

402
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: we were just acquired by a company called Great Bowery,

403
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: who I cannot be happier about federal relationship with them

404
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: for probably six years and Great Barry. Great Barry is

405
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: a holding company that owns a lot of different companies

406
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: within um within them, from talent agencies like Streeters and

407
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 1: CLM to licensing like Trunk Archive. And Trunk Archive has

408
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: represented us for a long time and this was a

409
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: very perfect fit. I mean, both companies have the same

410
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: brand values, we have so many synergies, but we do

411
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: different things, but we compliment each other. So now I'm

412
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: very excited to be part of something bigger. I know,

413
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, it was a scary experience and it was

414
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: a big learning experience going through an acquisition for sure.

415
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: But now over the next a little while, we are

416
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: working on a lot of different things that we just

417
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: didn't have the infrastructure to do before. And so now,

418
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean you'll you'll see what's to come, but some

419
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: some pretty exciting things happening. I can't wait. So I

00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: have imagined this was going to happen to her, but

440
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: could not be happier. Well, when we when we shot
