Today, I met Calvin, a French photographer who said Bye Bye Boss about a year ago. Since then, he has started a community of photographer in the city that gathers passionate people to talk about photography. He then continued by organizing workshops and opened his own agency, while also putting a foot in the clothing industry to bring photography images of his work into clothing design. He does a lot - that's what we talk in this episode!

Today, I talk with Evgeniya who I met through Jadal and Debora (my guests from the 3rd episode in this podcast). We discuss how her time in Barcelona helped her re-think what she wanted to do in her life, and how this drove her to go back to studying. From her childhood memories to the joy of selling her own pieces, you will see that it's never too late to ask yourself what would really make sense to do in your life.

Today, I’m chatting with Constanza, whom I met through Carola from Choco Chakra (featured in the very first episode of this podcast!). I visited Constanza in Sitges, where we talked for a while about her business and creative journey.

She originally studied product design, but explored various materials and artistic techniques during her studies. It was silver that truly stood out to her - it felt special, and that’s what drew her into jewelry. Encouraged by a teacher and driven by her own personality, she began developing her own designs and eventually launched her brand.

I hope you enjoy our conversation and the authenticity that Constanza brings to our chat and her brand, Miss Metalsmith.

🎙️ We also talk about:

- her studies in product design and how she moved to do jewelry

- the challenges to sell at markets

- how to price your product

- the reason that keeps her going

Today, I’m chatting with Jadal and Debora whom I met about a year ago in the Brunch Festival in Barcelona. I was attracted by their stand of all-black clothing with oversize and minimalist designs, and that's how we got to know each other. Recently, we also did some photos and videos for the inauguration of their showroom and a photoshoot for their new collection. Check all of that on both our Instagram.

🎙️ In this spangish episode, we talk about:

- the creation of their brand from the beginning

- the concept of Anathema and the philosophy behind it

- both the creation and the organizational part of working with a fashion brand

- the importance of training and mentoring from different programs

- the impact and inspirations from Barcelona

Today, I’m chatting with Pil, a Danish artist I met at the Christmas Festivalet market in Barcelona. I was immediately drawn to her colorful illustrations - not only is her style super recognizable, but she also focuses on the representation of women in sports, diversity, and empowerment. Plus, you’ll find cheeky messages and scenes set in Barcelona amongst her work. That was all I needed to hand over my card and invite her to be a guest on the podcast.

🎙️ We talk about:

- Her studies and choices beyond the limited options in her hometown

- The story behind the first email she sent to sell her work

- Women in sport and their representation

- How her work ranges from posters to murals and what it implies

- Her (non-) routine as a freelancer

- Why Barcelona feels like a place full of possibilities

Today, I sit down with Carola, a Chilean agronomist who became a pastry chef and now runs Choco Chakra - a chocolate brand that blends taste, beauty, and energy alignment. But this isn't just about chocolate... it's about taking big risks, following intuition, and creating products that awaken the senses and the soul.

🎙️ We talk about:

- Why she left her “stable” job behind

- How she turned eating bonbons into a ritual

- The importance of intention and energy in her work

- The long 6-year journey from idea to product launch

- Her struggles with self-confidence

Her story will prove you it's never too late to start over - and that chocolate can be much more than a guilty pleasure. 🍫
