S2E12 - FOF Fest - June '23

FOF Fest - June '23 In this episode, Scott is joined by Jarrett, Doc Hero, and first-time guest Shawn Prez to talk about FOF Fest. The event, which featured a handful of Ripe artists and was an overall collaboration between FOF and Ripe Creatives, took place on Friday, June 2nd, 2023 at The Story Factory Philly.  The episode begins by giving a history lesson about “FOF Fest” formally known as “Mayhem” as one of the longest-running Christian Hip-Hop platforms in the city of Philadelphia. The guys share about what led to resurrecting the festival after it hadn’t been produced since 2019.  The conversation includes a lot about the planning and how many moving parts are involved in throwing an event at this scale. As we get into the middle of the episode, we center on the actual run of show and share about each of the ten artist sets throughout the festival.  As we wrap up the episode we share some of our overall takeaways and some hopes we share for future events. Per usual there’s plenty of conversation about what it means to “partner well” and why trust is imperative when building something together.  To receive text notifications for each release of this podcast text "Time is Ripe" to: 215-273-3540 and click the link to save your contact.  To Support Ripe Creatives and all that we do, including this podcast, visit https://www.ripecreatives.com/ Song: "Nike Air" by Doc Hero
