Jasmine El Allami, beter bekend als Jazz, is een 20-jarige onderneemster en creatieve denkster die haar eigen pad probeert uit te tekenen. Dit alles probeert ze zonder zich te laten vastzetten in één richting. Met haar project SUGR, een bedrijf waarmee ze gevulde dadels verkoopt, experimenteert ze met ondernemen terwijl haar passie voor muziek en schrijven voortdurend op de achtergrond meespeelt.In deze aflevering praten we over zoeken en nog niet alles weten, over het durven proberen zonder garantie op succes en over de spanning tussen leven in het moment en bouwen aan een toekomst. Jazz deelt hoe haar ideeën vaak chaotisch ontstaan en hoe haar inspiratie uit mensen en muziek komt. Bovendien verkiest ze om bewust haar eigen weg te vinden, zelfs als dat betekent dat niets rechtlijnig of perfect verloopt.De derde aflevering is een veelzijdig gesprek over ambitie, afleiding en het geloof dat je meer kan dan wat vaak als “normaal” wordt gezien. Een open en eerlijke conversatie over twijfelen maar tegelijkertijd ook groeien.Nu te beluisteren op Spotify & Apple Podcasts.

Rens Hermans is een 21-jarige student interieurarchitectuur uit Hasselt en de oprichter van kledingmerk Maison Mooose. Wat begon als een eigen project groeide uit tot een plek waar zijn interesse in mode, architectuur en beeld samenkomt, maar vooral ook tot een manier om zijn eigen ideeën en referenties te vertalen naar iets tastbaars.In deze aflevering praten we over hoe creativiteit voor hem overal zit, maar pas echt vorm krijgt wanneer je er bewust mee omgaat. Over hoe inspiratie niet lineair werkt, maar eerder als een collage van beelden en invloeden die zich in je hoofd opstapelen en op het juiste moment samenkomen.We praten over het spanningsveld tussen inspiratie en originaliteit en hoe dun de grens soms is tussen beïnvloed worden en kopiëren binnen een creatieve omgeving. Ook komt het belang van een sterk concept naar voren: niet alleen iets maken, maar ook begrijpen en kunnen verwoorden waarom je iets maakt.Daarnaast spreken we over omgaan met feedback, het zoeken naar eerlijke kritiek in plaats van oppervlakkige bevestiging en het navigeren tussen samenwerken en je eigen visie bewaken.Een gesprek over creëren in een verzadigde wereld, de kracht van kritiek en concept binnen een wereld die constant in beweging is.Nu te beluisteren op Spotify & Apple Podcasts (link in bio).Timestamps:00:00 intro & kennismaking02:17 maison mooose & hoe het begonnen is06:00 creëren in een verzadigde modewereld10:30 creativiteit, inspiratie & concept13:30 omgaan met kritiek & feedback18:00 studie & balans met ondernemen25:00 persoonlijke groei & mindset31:30 stage & werkervaring in interieurarchitectuur35:00 interesses zoals hospitality & community44:00 toekomst & ambities

Bram Van Daele is student Kunstwetenschappen en de oprichter van Bittersweet, een overkoepelende naam waaronder zijn kledingmerk en de Bittersweet Run Club samenkomen.

Voor Bram is Bittersweet meer dan een naam, want het is een manier om te kijken naar groei en niet altijd exact weten waar je naartoe wil.In deze aflevering praten we over de spanning tussen product en community. Hoe bouw je iets dat oprecht voelt in een tijd waarin alles snel commercieel wordt? Wanneer is een merk een betekenisvol concept en wanneer is het marketing?
