'The Preacher, The Teacher, The Weird Kid and The Absurdist'.

This is my conversation with the four people at the heart of over the last 14 years. The two initial founders: John Boiler and Glenn Cole. And the two people they added soon after to help build the business. Evin Shutt and Matt Jarvis.

Rarely - too rarely - do I see partnerships that - both in their intention and in their casting, have been formed on lasting foundations.

Ego, insecurity and yes, fear get in the way. Common sense and win-wins leave the building. Replaced by missed opportunities, broken promises and in some cases life long resentment.

But when you get it right, it sounds like this conversation.

Ep 62: Thomas Benski of Pulse Films on Leading By Example

'The Son'.

This conversation with Thomas Benski - the founder of Pulse Films - is the second of my interviews from the Cannes Creativity festival and was recorded in front of a live audience. Vice is an award winning modern-day content studio, which two years ago was bought by Vice.

Thomas is charming and charismatic. He is relentlessly energized and filled with original ideas. He is engaged. Interesting. And Interested.

He is driven in large part by what happened to his family when he was growing up.

So this episodes is called, “The Son.”
