Looking Sideways: 10 Things
This week’s links of note.
1. Last month’s Db Creative Exchange went so well that we’re doing another one! Just us for free this coming Wednesday March 20th at 7pm CET for a session hosted by me on how to pitch, how to respond to a brief, and how to get paid. Sign up here.
2. Natural Selection went off (literally at one point: big up Eddie for some seamless filling-in). Watch the highlights here.
I’ve already had some really interesting feedback from my reader/listener survey. Click the button below to take part, and help me shape the future of Looking Sideways:
3. I thought the debate about the new lift in Bozel was super interesting. Thanks to everybody who contributed such thoughtful responses, and to Chris and Gav for taking part. Read it above if you’ve yet to catch up.
4. Thanks to friend-of-the-show Mike Wright for letting me know about Grit Grrrls, a new women’s gravel collective. Find out more above.
5. Thanks to my pal dan burgess of Becoming Crew for having me as a guest on his brilliant Spaceshop Earth podcast this week, and for letting me discuss a lot of the themes and preoccupations that have gone into The Announcement. Sign up to Dan’s Substack below:
6. What I really like about ’s Storm Skiing is how he’s so scathing about what he refers to as ‘Colorad-bro’ ski culture - which is, of course, what the entire industry edifice is basically built upon. This recent piece is a classic example of his approach, and is worth it for the Slate takedown alone.
7. Stoked to see my friends at Miscellaneous Adventures have brought their workshops back. We did one of these as an All Conditions Media awayday many moons ago, and it was brilliantly-run. Highly recommended - find out more above.
8. One for my Brighton swim crew - architect and ‘sea pool authority’ Chris Romer-Lee is giving a talk at Sea Lanes next week. More here.
9. This AdBusters piece on ‘taking degrowth seriously’ makes some interesting points. Read here.
10. As discussed last week - HKC Club is go! I’ve joined forces with my partner brands to offer listeners and readers some no-strings-attached discounts from the best brands out there.
