Episode 66: "Being Part of the Community" [Guests: Ron Hill & Nick Purpura]

Fri, 16 Mar 2018 17:36:28 +0000

JHU Comics has been a staple of the NYC comic book scene for over 30+ years. But like many small businesses, increasing rent prices and rapid gentrification have pushed them out of their current location. Fortunately, they have been able to find a new home on short notice, but it needs around $30,000 in repairs & moving expenses to get up and running. Owners Ron Hill & Nick Purpura have turned to GoFundMe to help mitigate these costs and have been greeted with open arms by the comic book community past and present in their support. On this episode, we get into what it is like to run a comic book store in 2018, the challenges that come with it, how comic book movies effect comic book sales, the rapidly changing landscape of mom and pop stores in NYC, the outpouring of recent support from established writers and artists, and more!

Episode 35: "With a Little Grit and Bravado" [Guest: Emilio Sparks]

Wed, 30 Nov 2016 16:21:55 +0000

Emilio Sparks is a radio personality, producer, and podcaster who has seen more good fortune and breaks come his way through his life so far and has built up a cult fanbase of average joes and industry insiders alike. But being able to be involved in cool projects and become friends with higher-ups in an industry you love possibly only gets you so far when you keep weighing it over the idea of taking more steady work that pays well, but that might not be your passion. That's the central theme of today's episode. While we do jump around a little, I hope that by the time you finish this episode you will have perhaps a newfound understanding of what it's like to hustle and want to do what you want on your own terms and the choices you have to make along the way.
