Floyd Johnson is a Cincinnati born, world-renowned designer, entrepreneur, traveler, artist, and educator. As founder of the lifestyle brand Ohio Against The World, his work has been worn and featured by the likes of Lebron James, Chloe Sevigny, Rihanna, and countless other cultural tastemakers. Floyd's designs have drawn lawsuits from major fashion houses on Monday, then stolen by another major brand on Tuesday. In a time where every person with a credit card and an Instagram account has their own "streetwear brand", Floyd's OATW and other projects are truly unique and a cut above the rest. The last time Floyd and I spoke was back in 2018, since then he has relocated from Brooklyn to Denver, all the while continuing the search for answers to his questions.

The triumphant return of Eric Kelly to MWP! Eric Kelly is a Florida-born, Brooklyn-raised former fighter and current trainer. A member of the 2000 U.S. Olympic Team, Eric recently opened up his first gym SouthBox by Eric Kelly located in the Bronx, NYC. This episode was recorded live inside the SouthBox ring on July 13, 2017 before the gym was open for business. Now that 6 months have past since the gym opened it is an undeniable success with celebrities, athletes, and world class fighters regularly stopping by to train. Eric and I go way back and to say that I'm proud of him and his accomplishments would be a vast understatement. Our conversation goes all over the place, but Eric drops a lot of gems along the way. Although SouthBox will undoubtedly build Champions, more importantly it will save kids, providing them a place to focus their energy into something positive instead of running the streets.

Dave Coyne is a retired professional skateboarder originally from Eastern Ohio. In this episode we cover the span of Dave's career in skateboarding, starting with his first pushes as a child through his teenage years where he packed everything up in a bag and bought a one way bus ticket to Southern California to chase down his dream of skateboarding year-round. What stands out about Dave and his experiences are the time in which they took place, the late-90s. This era, during the resurgence of skateboarding and arguably the most progressive time in skateboarding's past was not only witnessed by Dave, but he worked hard enough to leave his own mark on an era that nowadays is looked back upon fondly and even big enough to garner exploitation by the film industry.
My favorite part of this whole experience has easily been getting to know more and more about the great Dave Coyne. He took a leap of faith pre-internet on an open invite to crash on a couch in San Diego and the rest, as they say, is history.

And yes, I ask him about his time on Osiris and the D3.
