This episode we have a treat for you, Doug Bouton, co-founder of Halo Top ice cream chats with Ann Hand the CEO of Super League Gaming about imposter syndrome and company culture. What else do these two have in common? That’s a very good question, you’ll have to tune in to find out.

Ep. 05 | Unveiling clean beauty with Christopher Gavigan and Krupa Koestline

Our first guest, Krupa Koestline, is the founder of KKT Consultants, a clean beauty lab and innovation center. She is paired with friend and past client of Capsule, Christopher Gavigan, co-founder of both The Honest Company and Prima, a transparent beauty brand.
While these two guests have not worked together, they are founding members of the mutual admiration club and that always sparks a beautiful conversation on our series.

Ep. 04 | Three chefs baked a neighborhood venture with Marie Dwyer, Karl Benson and Gavin Kaysen

The world of designed experiences has nothing without great food, the chefs who create and the tools they use. We have an inspired pairing of three, our first trifecta, for this month’s Think & Link. We’ll be talking about a new experience designed by our client and friends at Cooks of Crocus Hill in neighborly partnership with Gavin Kaysen.
We have the acclaimed chef Gavin Kaysen with an iconic duo here in Minneapolis Marie Dwyer and Karl Benson, the stewards of Cooks of Crocus Hill. If you haven’t heard of Gavin, we’d like to ask if you’ve named the rock you’ve been hiding under? And, while Marie and Karl are a bit more “behind the scenes” compared to their internationally recognized chef friend, they are two of the most amazing design driven entrepreneurs in our community.

Ep. 03 | Leather pants and the magic of imagination with Michael Fanuele and Jackie Hermes

In this episode we are joined by Michael Fanuele and Jackie Hermes. We talk about the power of leather pants, how inspiration works, delusional confidence, and small things like our human destiny and our amazing imagination. Yes, this was no small conversation, and  if you’re not inspired after this one, check your pulse. 

Ep. 02 | “Bothism”, a case for both of Mark Ritson’s personalities being right

This episode is with Mark Ritson, the contrarian professor of marketing from the London School of Business and many other properly aged institutions. Mark talks about “bothism”, how the internet has evolved as we grayed and the role of a marketing discipline in the digital economy. I hope you enjoy the snark of Mark sprinkled in between all the insights.
