Scott Katsufrakus: Castles and Sirens

What this episode covers

Scott Katsufrakis (founder of Flying House Threads, firefighter) joins Aaron McCall to talk creative entrepreneurship at the edge of whimsy and weight. They dig into building a Disney-inspired, punk-leaning apparel brand while working life-and-death shifts, the pressure of being “the face” on camera, and the mental health work behind staying steady. They touch on the role of community, the discipline it takes to keep quality high, and finding ways for a brand built on castles and monsters to also do real-world good. It’s about craft, perspective, and the strange balance of survival and play.Keep up with Scott Katsufrakus: flyinghousethreads.com IG: @glyinghousethreadsWriter/Producer/Editor/Host:Aaron McCallaaronmccall.netInstagram: @aaron_mccallLinkedIn: Aaron McCallCo-Host/Sidekick/Photographer:Joe Mattesonthemattesons.coInstagram: @joe_dustinCo-Host/Sidekick/Manager:Amber GrayInstagram: @bad_ambellinaLinkedIn: Amber GrayMusic:"Noises" by Mike Mains & The BranchesHelp Support the Podcast:Buy MerchMake a DonationFollow Bad Idea Social Club:badideasocialclub.comInstagram: @badideasocialclubLinkedIn: Bad Idea Social Club Hosted on Acast.
