The Grey NATO - 108 - The Isolation Tapes Ft. Josh Perez

Episode 108 is another installment of the Isolation Tapes and a continuation of “isolation socialization” with a special guest from the world of photography. Joining James via a call from Denver, the TGN boys are excited to feature Josh Perez in topic-hopping chat keyed for the creatives (and hopeful creatives) in the audience. You may know Josh for his excellent Instagram, his work in the Hodinkee magazine, or his successful micro-studio Sett. A talented photographer who cut his teeth in the ever-competitive world of adventure sports, listen in for Josh’s story, his tips for those wanting to make the leap into a creative path, and how the launch of his new apparel brand helped put cash in the hands of some talented photographers.

From the start of the episode, Jason and James cover everything from some cool new knives and old regatta watches but stay tuned to the end for a fresh set of homework (with James sticking to a knife-heavy theme) and final notes that will have you looking both up high and very very deep. A big thanks to the Hodinkee shop for making this episode possible. Just press play and thanks for listening!
