What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we sit down with Oren John, the internet’s creative director. In this episode, Oren breaks down why most branded content flops and how to fix it. He unpacks the secret to building a world around your brand, the one framework every creator needs before scaling, and why playing it safe online is the fastest way to stay invisible.


We dive into value vs. entertainment content, how to stand out in a feed full of noise, and the metrics Oren actually tracks when building a personal brand. He also shares his take on content “moats,” why he welcomes flops, and how to position yourself for both influence and income.


If you're tired of copying trends and want to build something original that actually resonates, this episode is your blueprint.

88. SHORTSTACHE on His NEW Short Film, Creative Struggles & Moving to NYC

Roc Nation, do we have a special one for you today! On today's episode, we welcome the legend Shortstache. He's built an incredible personal brand over the years and is well known for the incredible colors and tones in his photos (if you know, you know). He recently finished his first short film, Along The Way, which will be out on YouTube later this year. We asked him about what went into making the film, what he learned from his first short film, and why he filmed it in Norway. He also shared the struggles he's been facing lately about feeling complacent, and not feeling as though he is doing enough meaningful work.
