#51: Name Dropping, Networking, and Crowdfunding

Early in his Grammy award winning career, rapper, Chamillionaire learned some valuable lessons about business.  Whether bootstrapping his own sales of mixtapes, negotiating higher payouts from his label, developing off the wall promotional marketing schemes, or reinvesting his money into multiple ventures, he always looked for smarter and better ways to achieve success. Fast forward to almost 10 years later, where Chamillionaire is a key investor in Maker Studios, an adviser to several startups and established companies, and now entrepreneur in residence at Upfront Ventures, Los Angeles' largest venture capital fund.   On Innovation Crush, Cham dishes on everything from growing up poor, to serial entrepreneurship, world changing technologies, avoiding social media, and having never wanted to be famous.   feat. guest co-host, David Wong.

#85:  Crush Culture - 5 Points of Innovation (Vol 1)

"Innovation to me is... terrifying."  

Damian Kulash is best known as the front man of super genius creative musical group, OK Go.  As the grandson of the inventor of the fish stick (real talk), it's no surprise that many of the inventive genes he comes from manifest themselves in his group's whimsical and audacious creative exploits.  Whether art projects, dabbling in physics, tinkering with biology, creating visual illusions, or reinventing marketing;  bringing their musical visions to life in far-more-than-interesting ways has always been a part of their creative and business culture.  Fresh off a 2015 MTV VMA win ("I Won't Let You Down"), Damian visits Innovation Crush to talk about everything from having the second ever viral video on YouTube to maintaining team chemistry, working with brands, becoming a business man, to their process of printing an album on strands of DNA... and a few crazy things on their current creative wishlist.

#98:  Damian Kulash (OK Go)- Mad Scientists at Work

After an upsetting second place finish on America's Best Dance Crew in 2015, the fan favorite Kinjaz turned their loss into a huge win, by going on to form the first ever crowd-funded global dance studio ($127,000), and the highest raised ever in the dance category on Indiegogo. Since then, the group has opened up 3 studios in the US and China, launched an international camp program, and a line of merchandise ranging from watches to hats to jackets, and racked up millions of interactions across social media. Additionally, they've worked with brands and partners ranging from McDonald's to AT&T, Bruce Lee, and Volkswagen to name a few. On this episode, co-owner Ben Chung (formerly of the Jabbawockeez) and choreographer/teacher Charles Nguyen speak on their inspirations, building community, and balancing art and business, and managing the expectations of 30+ crew members.
