GMAN), has a sharp mind and instinct for culture, and what’s relevant within it. It’s a rare talent, making him one that many have followed and emulated throughout the years. \r\n\r\nHe paved the way for street culture growth in Vancouver since the 90s, from bringing Freshjive to the city, running his sales agency and distribution company NL&A and Timebomb Trading, founding sneaker retailer Livestock with industry vet Garry Bone, to opening Fortune Sound Club with long-time business partner Rob Rizk. \r\n\r\nIn this conversation, we explore what he’s learned about himself over this last year, how his various businesses had to quickly shift in that time, mental health, a recent major Livestock announcement, what he’s learned from his sons Raiden and Nevin during the pandemic, and more.
