Stephanie Bohanon studied finance and commercial real estate before a store management position at Preneur crossed her path. The brainchild of Procter & Gamble, Preneur is a yearlong 3rd party popup shop created to share new Tide products with the market and showcase local businesses. We chat about working with independent businesses, what it means to be an experiential retailer, and how today’s ambitious youths make us want to play catch-up. We also discuss: - The benefits of trying new creative ideas to see what sticks - How smaller makers benefit from working with large brands, and vice versa - Upcoming themes like sports, independent fashion (yay!), and wellness - Hosting a series of small events like speaker series, shopping events, and cocktail hours - Partner brands like Arkadiance, Native Brand, Originalitees, Game Day Feels, and Loner Visit: Preneur, 1333 Walnut St. at the corner of Walnut & Mercer @PreneurCincy on Facebook and Instagram MORTAR Pitch night podcast @thestylesample on Twitter, Instagram, & Snapchat Head to CreativeCityPodcast.com for links and previous episodes, and sign up for the mailing list to keep up with Cincinnati’s amazing community of creatives.

#34 - Film Director Brandon Faris

Film Director Brandon Faris co-founded video production studio LEAPFrame in 2013, but his real first love is music. After studying sound production, he took on stints engineering music for commercials (he wrote a song a for Ford Truck ad!) and as a youth minister before learning to edit video by creating classic spots and mini-documentaries for Current TV. We talk about how he got his first videos on air, why he started his own podcast (Filmmakers Drinking Bourbon), and how he’s really a fashionista at heart. We also discussed: - Why getting a job as a used car salesman literally made him cry - Realizing his sweet spot was between somewhere between editing in a dark room and new business development - Product-izing and packaging the video production process - How he always has multiple books in circulation (how?) - Why he converted to a 15-piece capsule wardrobe (again, how?)

#36 - Music Producer Kick Lee

Kick Lee landed in music production by sheer accident, after studying graphic design and discovering he wasn’t made for the corporate world. He grew up listening to music and has since become a fan of a number of genres, from bluegrass and country to hip-hop and EDM. We talk about his process for creating tracks from scratch, how music licensing works, and why he decided to make music his career (spoiler: it was when he got a $10K check for one gig!). We also discuss: - His experience at Full Sail University and why it was one of the best decisions he made. - Being a Black man with diverse tastes and talents, and the content that inspires him - The difference between exclusive vs non-exclusive licensing, and royalty back-end payments - What agencies and large companies look for when sourcing music for campaigns - Plans for KL Studios, his new recording and production studio designed to empower communities through sound - His affinity for Batman (?!?!)
