    I sit down with entrepreneur and good friend Shane Vitaly Foran owner of Clocks & Colours, Etah Love and Vitaly. In this video we talk about the fundamentals that go into building a successful brand. We discuss a bit of history in how it all started and the important principles he followed to grow his brands. We also go over the ingredients to a successful collaboration.

    Remembering to have fun with a project like this is so important. Whenever starting a business venture, things WILL get rough. Remembering that joy you felt when you started will help you keep pushing.

    This was literally perfect timing, I have my own brand and have been struggling with the creative side and only making stuff that I think people want, instead of just making shit I like. No point in doing it day to day if you don't get to make shit you love!

  • @AdamDuffArt

    Clocks & Colours is a brand that I will always stand behind - not only because of the gorgeous work they do, but because of their philosophy as artists - following your gut
    As an artist and art TH-camr, my creative process is defined by that philosophy
    Awesome partnership - one more reason I’m so proud to be Canadian
    My love to you both.

As I'm writing my first original film as we speak, i've been stuck in a creative rut and trying to appease the masses, but i'm learning how to trust my own creative intuition. Thank you

    Clocks & Colours changed my life. When I discovered the brand it inspired me to push my skateboard brand I'm building. Sirius Skateboards. I had issues with local skaters pushing their logo with a star and it resembled mines so we bumped heads. But over time I realized I can use a star the way you guys do on rings and not as a logo. I even decided when I push my next drop I will use letters for the logo as clocks and colours does. Eventually I will grow as a brand and collab with those who bumped heads at first. Everything has a positive side if you follow the stars guidance.

    "..I wasn't really concerned, like if this is gonna become a real business or anything. I just wanted something where I could make some cool products that I was into."
    In my humble opinion, this is the biggest take away. Too often we hear things like "make stuff with your customer/audience in mind". While that has it's place, it can be limiting in the creative space. Build a brand that's for you. There are almost 8 billion peeps roaming the planet. Someone will be down. Chase what makes you happy. Not what makes others.

    My whole journey in jewellery started with a ring, bought in Dresden. It originally came from Bali too. The stone cracked after hitting something harder 😏 I took it to a goldsmith and swapped the stone with a blue Topaz with some personal changes to make it fully mine. Wearing it since 5 years and confirm stones have an affect on you
