This week Ricky Shoebio returns to the podcast! We talk about his time at Art Basel, his experience speaking at the Black Footwear Forum. How we connected after our first episode, plus what he has worked on since then. He drops some gems on how to move in this industry. Also how to separate yourself as a creative. We touch on a lot and much more!
