Bev is a surreal collage maker and illustrator from Cheltenham, England. Last March right as the pandemic started, she quit her job and decided to pursue making art full-time. The bet has paid off.

It's called the "Holy-shit-thats-cool-factor" That "Holy-shit-thats-cool-factor" is what sets AJ Wiley apart from a lot of other illustrators and designers.

Making Music - Becoming The Bruce Springsteen of Composing With Carmine Mattia
March 17, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 49.3 MBI'm always blown away by anyone who can do anything musical. Then I come across a guy like Carmine Mattia and he completely puts my brain in a pretzel. Carmine does it all. He writes songs, composes scores, makes beats, plays guitar, performs raps, make content, acts in skits; it's insane. He dabbles in a little bit of everything on the music front and has a pretty incredible grasp of it all.

March 10, 2021 10:00 - 51 minutes - 45.1 MBWhen I first started the Destination Different podcast nearly a year and a half ago I figured the biggest benefit of having a podcast was that eventually I'd be able to make money from ad deals or merch or something like that.

I could probably that.'" - Annie Yuen (sort of). Ok, fine. I'm paraphrasing slightly, but that's pretty much how it all kicked off for Annie with her printmaking company, Olive & Orange. She simply took up a love for painting on a whim and never looked back. And while her early years involved a lot of experimenting and getting swept away by a love of the watercolor medium, her mo...

January 06, 2021 10:00 - 58 minutes - 46.2 MBIf you asked your parents in 8th grade to drop out of school to become a professional snowboarder what do you think they would say...? Mine probably would have come back with something like, "Not a chance you absolute clown. Now go back up to your room and finish your homework." But not Scotty Lago's parents. Scotty left formal school in the 8th grade and never looked back. By the time he was 17 he was living the dream as a professional snowboarder. And it wasn't long after that he was col...

New Year's Resolutions in December
December 03, 2020 01:37 - 10 minutes - 10 MBJune 3, 2020. That was the last Wednesday when there wasn't a new episode of Destination Different.

On June 3rd I had missed two weeks of the podcast in a row and it was...

November 25, 2020 11:45 - 13 minutes - 13.2 MBOn Thanksgiving when I was a kid, before anyone could start eating, my grandmother would make our whole family go around the table and say what we were thankful for. As a 10-year-old, it was brutal because all I wanted to do was dive head first into my perfectly constructed mashed potato and gravy swimming pool. But now that I'm slightly older and wiser, I'm starting to realize that it was actually a beautiful practice. We're all so go go go all the time, sometimes it's nice to actually sto...

Masked Men - Starting a Fashionable Mask Brand During the Pandemic With Outlaw Masks
November 11, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 44.7 MBSome people have complained their way through 2020. Others have seen it as an opportunity.

September 30, 2020 09:00 - 55 minutes - 43.5 MBReal life FIFA. That's the only way I can describe what Joe Calafiore has been up to over the last 5 years. In 2016 he was working for Major League Baseball when he decided to pull together a business plan of what it could look like to bring a professional soccer team to Hartford, Connecticut. A couple years, countless hurdles, and a number of major milestones later, Joe and his team of owners did just that. They brought a professional soccer team to Hartford.

The Art of the Cold DM
September 23, 2020 11:45 - 12 minutes - 12.2 MBSome day there will be people chomping at the bit to get on this podcast. I mean, practically throwing themselves at me to be interviewed on THE Destination Different. But for now that is not the case.... Far from it, in fact. You may have noticed the last few weeks have been on again off again with guests and no guests. This is one of those no guest weeks. I promise you it's not from a lack of trying either. I've pretty much exhausted my inner circle of friends, friends of friends, and co...

How Do You Grow A Podcast?
September 09, 2020 22:24 - 21 minutes - 18.8 MBI'm fresh off vacation and the mountain air put me in a clear headspace to think about the podcast. Growing anything from scratch isn't easy. I'm fully aware that it takes lots of time, commitment, and a whole lot of talent to make anything big on the internet. This is still the very early days of Destination Different, but I'm a competitive guy and there are plenty of ways I can make it bigger and better. In this episode, I took a moment to celebrate some of the podcast's wins... - Hitt...

September 02, 2020 09:00 - 57 minutes - 46.4 MBChrissy Hofbeck isn't just a regular mom... she's a coooooool mom. Honestly, one of the coolest moms I've ever met.

Eating Clean - Celebrating the Vegan Lifestyle With Yasmin Sadi of Vgn Bites

August 12, 2020 12:16 - 45 minutes - 42.7 MBToday marks the big 4-oh. Episode 40 of the Destination Different podcast and I couldn't be more excited to have reached this point. As I did for Episode 30, I wanted to take this time to reflect on how the show has grown and offer up a transparent look behind the scenes into my world. Over the past few months during quarantine I have had a number of people reach out to me about some of the more nuanced details of starting a podcast. What software to I use?

Experimentation Nation - Storytelling Across Mediums With YeSeul Kim
August 05, 2020 09:00 - 58 minutes - 45.8 MBA little bit of this. A little bit of that. That seems to be the motto for YeSeul Kim right about now. The Korean-born, Guam raised, MIT graduate recently packed up her things and found herself in the quiet Italian town of Treviso with her husband and dog. YeSeul has her masters degree in urban planning, but it is the creative side of her brain she is channelling during her time in Italy.

Community, Community, Community - Growing An Alumni Network With Chris Russo
July 29, 2020 21:51 - 46 minutes - 36.5 MBWe've all been there. Fresh out of college, no job, no idea what we want to do for a living, so we hop on LinkedIn and start "networking" because it seems like the right thing to do. But not all of us have been able to turn that "networking" into a flourishing online community and a slew of consulting opportunities. That's what Chris Russo has done. The 2019 graduate of Boston College felt like there was a lack of networking opportunities from his school in the media and communications spac...
Kicking On Rocks - Documentary Filmmaking Life With Brandon Brito
July 22, 2020 08:00 - 57 minutes - 43.3 MBIt's not often that a 22-year-old college senior gets funded to film a documentary in Cape Verde, but that's exactly what happened with Brandon Brito.

July 15, 2020 12:00 - 51 minutes - 40.6 MBStarting a creative agency as a 20-something is certainly not for the faint of heart.

State of the Union - Peak Behind the Curtain Into My World
July 08, 2020 12:41 - 46 minutes - 49.9 MBI moved this week. After 5+ years (and 30+ closet podcast episodes) in the same apartment, I finally moved. And because Comcast is the devil and I've been without internet, it felt like a good opportunity to record a little solo episode. I wanted to take this episode as an opportunity to be 1000% transparent with everything I've been working on for the last year and a half. It's very easy for people who are already uber successful to look back on when they were building something and sugarc...
