Why I started a brand in Colombia

This is one of the questions I get asked a lot in Medellín so I wanted to make a video. This video is about why I started a brand in Medellín Colombia and how I actually started designing. I will also be publishing one in two weeks that goes over a little bit more of the business aspects and getting a visa from having a business in Colombia.
Check out the brand here: @lafondmedellin and for shipping to the US: www.lafondmedellin.com
My personal insta: @roblafond and my website: roblafond.com

Which program did you work for at NPR?

[@RobLaFond]

Mostly on Morning Becomes Eclectic but I did lots of stuff.. podcasts, Arianna Huffington... I was a digital producer so I worked a bit on lots of different shows

[@rolandosarabia810]

@@RobLaFond Too bad you didn't get to do Tiny Desk. NPR has been my favorite radio station for the last 45 years. From morning edition to all things considered, prairie home companion to this American life, fresh air to the moth, wait wait don't tell me. Just good quality radio. Nowadays it's NPR and podcasts for me
