Episode 61 - Grey Hearts Denim
Grey Hearts Denim is a Kelowna, BC based fashion brand specializing in reworking in locally sourced denim and workwear. I spoke to owners Sean and Paul about a myriad of different things such as how they survived 2020 as a new company, what they did to support Black Lives Matter, and much more! They're a very smart couple of guys with excellent business sense, a strong eye for fashion and great ethics backing their brand which is why I wanted to spotlight them here. Enjoy!

Episode 57 - Designed by Bede
Bede is the owner of Designed by Bede. A fashion brand inspired by her love of the past with modern touches of street wear and ethical production. I love supporting underground brands like these. I feel like I can express myself better with unique pieces that I don’t think many other people have. I also prefer to not support fast fashion as best I can. Lastly it feels good to know the clothing was made by one person putting in their skill and time to make a piece. It’s like wearing art. Bede is no exception. She makes high quality one of one apparel meaning you’ll be able to express yourself however you’d like. She’s smart and has great ethics behind her work. I hope you enjoy the episode and please check out her page.

Episode 55 - Edge
I’ve been asking Edge to be on the show since 2018 and he always said not until 2020. We finally got it to happen and I’m so excited to share our interview. I’ve seen him perform countless times and honestly I’ve always loved his sets. Edge had explosiveness which was very contagious and with his charisma commanded the room. In today’s episode he and I talk about how he met Nate Le, his influences and much more. This was a blast and I’m thrilled to have had him on the show.

Episode 54 - Zoe Marie Welch
“If you didn’t want anything then why’d you even start.” Zoe Marie Welch wrote this in her song Turn on the Lights. It’s a light and bubbly soul/R&B track about her experience with a past lover. It’s an honest reflection of her experience which many people I’m sure could relate to. Her music reflects her personality and believe me it was a delight to interview her. We spoke about her upbringing, her experiences with love and much more! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did ✌️🌼 Don't forget to follow us to know when the newest episodes release YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOMopqC1CF95kuJLLiMhXDw?sub_confirmation=1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fortheculturecanada/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FortheCultureCanada/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/4theCultureCA Listen to Zoe's music Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/zoe-marie-welch/1477305993 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3zcrB8lOU6YzvPoRGlIM56  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zoemariewelch/?hl=en  Website: https://www.zoemariewelchmusic.com/

Episode 52 - 538st.
538st. is a DOPE, young, up and coming hip-hop group from Kelowna, BC who are very different from what you'd typically think of as a hip-hop group. They're not a group of rappers, it's a full band with a frontman who raps. If you've ever seen them live or caught one of their live videos you'd know how vibrant and charismatic they are.  I had a chance to speak to Waseem (drums), Austen (bass/vocals), and brothers Sam (lead vocals) & Jake (guitar/vocals).  They were an absolute delight to have on the show and I hope you enjoy it!
