Justice for George Floyd: https://www.change.org/p/mayor-jacob-frey-justice-for-george-floydThis week on the Colin and Samir Podcast, we address the current protests that come as a result of the murder of George Floyd. It took us some time to organize our thoughts around this topic - we’ve talked to each other, friends and family and have put together thoughts that we’d like to share on this podcast as well as across our platforms in the coming days. We ask that the listeners of this podcast be open minded as you listen to our conversations - and to use our conversation as a spark to not only have conversations in your own community but to also take action.

This week on the Colin and Samir Podcast we’ve got a bit of a different episode for you guys, we asked you on instagram what you wanted to see in the storytelling course that we’re working on and a lot of you asked about the brainstorming process. So we had a brainstorm planned for the week and thought we’d just press record and bring you a long. Storytelling isn’t just about the specific videos we make but also about a brand as a whole, a great brand is a great story - and we feel like we could e telling a better story as a brand. So in this brainstorm we work through our show the breakdown and try and come up with a Unique Value Prop for the show as well as the branding elements and framework that will communicate the unique value prop to the audience.

This week, on the Colin and Samir Podcast, we’re joined by Danny Casale aka Coolman Coffeedan. Now we actually recorded this episode a few weeks ago and we are working on a YouTube video with Danny, but felt like right now was a good time to release it because Danny’s story is extremely inspiring and he built a lot of his career from his bedroom...which is where a lot of us are spending most of our time now. Danny is a NYC based artist who has gained popularity through his surreal, and poorly-drawn animations. He calls himself a Bad animator, but his bad animations have made there way on to the big screens at times square… he’s got 2M subscribers on YouTube, 2 Million on Instagram 1.5 Million followers on Facebook and another 1.3 Million on Tiktok, so clearly his animations connect with a lot of people. He recently released an album on SpotifyAlthough he’s been uploading to Youtube for over 10 years for His style first took off in 2017 when he released an animation titled Snakes have Legs, which was basically a PSA for people to stop believing everything they read on the internet. The video has over 10 million views on Danny’s facebook and has been shared all over the internet. Spending the day with Danny was awesome, he’s a big inspiration to us, his message is strong and his style is so relatable. I would recommend checking him out on instagram before you listen to this so you can get a feel for his style, he even recently put out a song about washing your hands. We met Danny earlier this year at Samsung Unpacked and we quickly bonded over our mutual love of emo music… so if you’re into that too, tweet at us @colinandsamir Learn more about your ad choices.
