Indestructible: The DSPTCH Origin Story With Richard Liu

Tuesday, July 27, 2021 • Duration 38:43

For the MAEKAN and DSPTCH family, we’ve watched each other grow with great interest. Both of us share a similar perspective on creating and putting things out into the world. So when we first decided to explore creating product, DSPTCH was a natural first partner. Their flexible in-house manufacturing meant lower minimums and utilitarian design philosophy vibed with our perspective on what we wished to put out into an already crowded world.

The timeline for putting this tote out into the world took longer than anticipated, yet the conversation that supported this project and the underlying premise behind how we collectively run our companies remains unchanged.

We’re excited to both share this thoughtful conversation and the release of our MAEKAN x DSPTCH “Done Slow, Done Right” Tote Bag.

MAEKAN Session — The Need for Criticism

Season 1

Wednesday, January 9, 2019 • Duration 01:02:55

The growth of social media gives off the perception that the world’s smaller and more connected, but conversely, this doesn’t necessarily make the world easier to understand. In our MAEKAN Session titled The Need for Criticism, we focused on the concept of critique in a social-media dominated creative landscape.

This session was our most globally expansive to date, with a panel dialing in from Australia, Asia, and America. The panel members originally met through a WhatsApp group centered around film photography. Through this connection, the speakers often spoke about critique and how that has changed in relation to a social media-driven environment. How does critique affect the creative landscape of 2018, and how can we grow more accustomed to the ways in which we receive critique?

Text by Alek Rose

Moderated by Eugene Kan

Panelists featuring Sean Marc Lee, Young Kim, Jovell Rennie, James Bailey, and Donnel Barroso

MAEKAN Tools — Nate's Writing Tools

Tuesday, October 24, 2017 • Duration 03:50

Listen to the story here and see the accompanying photos at MAEKAN.com for the best experience.

Often before a MAEKAN story becomes the sounds you hear and the pictures you see, it starts out as a script—and that means a lot of words. While writing or typing every day is a great habit to develop creativity, it’s also a good way to get achy fingers and eyes too if you’re not careful. In this latest MAEKAN Tools, Nate shares three uncommon tools that help make his day-to-day writing work smoother and more manageable.

MAEKAN It Up — #020: The case for adding sneaker culture into the curriculum, and the current state of push notifications?

Friday, October 20, 2017 • Duration 49:22

On MAEKAN It Up #020 (we made it to episode 20 somehow), Eugene and Charis discuss the case for adding sneaker culture to the school curriculum based on its importance within youth and popular culture. Eugene manages to show how out of the loop he is when it comes to memes. Also, we explore how media companies currently strategize their push notifications and what are things we should be aware of.

Building the Brand — The New Process of Recording

Friday, October 20, 2017 • Duration 16:22

Listen to the story here and see the accompanying photos at MAEKAN.com for the best experience.

As the essential component to producing our stories, the process of recording has come a long way since we first started working on audio stories. Bringing scripts to life using only our voices has been both a challenging and rewarding experience for the entire editorial team. In this edition of Building The Brand, Cody, Elphick and Nate talk about how they went from not having any experience with podcast recording to where they are today.

Figuring Out Female Equality Together — Sarah Kim

Friday, October 20, 2017 • Duration 17:10

Listen to the story here and see the accompanying photos at MAEKAN.com for the best experience.

Sarah Kim is a woman of many talents. By day she works at an ad agency in New York. By night and the weekend, she’s a publisher with By Way Of Brooklyn. Not content with her outlets, she sought out another medium, art curation. Together with her partners Arielle and Lynsday, the trio represents Feminine Product. The show celebrating women was a physical manifestation of many talks and discussions culminating in what is feminity and what was Feminine Product’s approach to it.

Over the course of an afternoon spent before the show had opened, we engaged openly and without judgment over some of th

One Sneaker at a Time — Mark Gainor Slows Down Production

Friday, October 20, 2017 • Duration 15:55

Listen to the story here and see the accompanying photos at MAEKAN.com for the best experience.

When the information age nostalgically looked back toward traditional craftsmanship for inspiration, we ended up with hand-stitched leather cases for our tablets and artisan wooden styluses to go with it. But for something we use literally every day, why haven’t we been handcrafting sneakers? This is just what bespoke luxury sneaker label No.One does, a dozen and a half pairs at a time. Good things take time, and founder Mark Gainor doesn’t seem to mind.
