The Cultural Power of the Barbershop 07/07/2023

The Cultural Power of the Barbershop Welcome to the first episode of Culturemaking, a conversation series dedicated to exploring the intersection of creativity, entrepreneurship and humanity with designer and entrepreneur Houston White in collaboration with brand strategist and writer Casie Cook. We wanted to kick the whole thing off by hearing from Houston about the atmosphere that started it all for him: The Barbershop. As many of you know, Houston opened a shop in North Minneapolis in 2007 and in the years since it has become an intercultural mecca for the community and an incubation space for his many ventures. In this conversation we go deep into the real meaning of that space and how it changed the trajectory of Houston’s life and continues to impact so many others. /episode/index/show/9d68bee3-9411-40c6-aaf0-e2403aeb3f25/id/27358737

Culturemaking Trailer 07/06/2023

Culturemaking Trailer Human connection is the most powerful force in nature. That fusion of me and you into we and us. Culturemaking is a conversation series dedicated to exploring the intersections of creativity, entrepreneurship and humanity to spark social innovation. Our hosts and guests represent different cultures, races, genders, and backgrounds – and we celebrate that. We are for everyone who believes a more intercultural world is not only possible, but urgently necessary. We are for culture makers, not culture followers. If you have ever craved a new world, one with more harmony and creativity and realness, you are a culture maker. I’m Houston White. But this isn’t about me. It’s about us. This is the time. We are the people. Let’s change the game, together. /episode/index/show/9d68bee3-9411-40c6-aaf0-e2403aeb3f25/id/27382932
