Last one, you lot!

It's the final episode of the season, and what better way to end it than with owner of Iron Heart International, @Alex . We last spoke to Alex in episode 2 of season 1, and since then a lot has changed. We talk about his travels to Germany to see how they make the Iron Heart 'Big Buck', his travels to China, and there is a short, but very sweet interview with Iron Heart Boss, Harakisan.

As I say at the end of the ep, if you'd like to have any guests in particular for season 4, either email me at hello@highkickmedia.com, or get me here. Otherwise, have a lovely christmas, and a fucking terrific 2024.

Until next time!

Alright Fam, two more to go!

I loved talking to this week's guest: Intelligent, sweet, talented, much more gorgeous than the last guest (no offence @Matt) and totally in tune with how we can make this planet a better place for generations to come. I hope you get a lot out of it.

Cate Havstad is a hat maker, a leather purveyor, a farmer, a wife, a mother, the list goes on and on. She's also ridiculously cool, hence why we're bringing her into the fray to be our penultimate guest for season 3.

We talk about hats, farming, regenerative leather and many things about the environment and the impact of our small life decisions - make sure you have a notepad handy.

Enjoy!

@Karol we kind of spoke about his diving life in season 1, but I’m sure he’ll be happy to return!

What’s up guys,

Just a quick one to let you know there won’t be a release this week. Ep 9 will go out on the 15th and the final ep will go out on the 22nd.

In the interim, the final ep will be with your boy @Alex, so we’re going to try and do what we used to be able to do before I moved to La La Land: drink great wine and talk ideas. If you have any questions you’d like to ask him (or me) it’ll be a great time to get them answered.

Cheers!

@Matt you're getting roasted mate. Thanks all for giving him the attention he deserves, and thanks for tuning in - @Alex, @Giles and I appreciate you all.

And now for a more familiar face (and handle). @Matt from the forum steps up to the plate for episode 8!

Matt Raspa is an adored and key member of the Iron Heart Forum. He has blessed the forum with his wild stories of retiring early, buying an airstream and setting off cross-country with his family.

This ep was recorded over zoom, during a storm in California.

@Mizmazzle cat’s out of the bag - next Wednesday

Yeah dude, Paul is legit - I didn’t cover half the stuff I wanted to with him as he was on a time crunch. He’s an absolute legend.

@Matt I cut that bit out. And nuh uh!

@Matt noooooooooo

@Matt you’re next up, sir

I've wanted to talk to Paul for YEARS, so it's pretty cool I finally got the chance.

Paul d'Orleans AKA The Vintagent is an author, curator and brand consultant, with an encyclopedic knowledge of motorcycles and their history. He has written two books: Ton Up! A Century of Cafe Racer Speed and Style, and The Chopper: The Real Story, not to mention co-authoring a grip of other published works.

Olly catches Paul in Santa Monica, where they discuss all things fashion, but mostly motorcycles.

@GraemeE thank you!

Episode 6 with your boy Bryan Szabo! This is a heavy denim talk with some culture - and stoicism - thrown in.

Bryan Szabo is the mind and driving force behind The Indigo Invitational - the event of the year for all denim heads. Bryan is also a musician and an author, writing one of your most essential coffee table reads, 'The Rebel's Wardrobe'.

Olly catches up with Bryan over zoom from his family home in Norway.

@Karol He didn't have it out when I was there, but his worn pair were pretty sick!

Here we go again, and this episode marks the half way point to season 3!

Rob Schaeffer of Schaeffer's Garment Hotel is a designer, stylist and vintage collector. His brand embodies Hollywood Rock and Roll chic, with a dash of motorcycle culture thrown in for good measure.

I sat down with Rob in his store in Hollywood to talk about fatherhood, styling the Queens Of The Stone Age, and nearly burning his whole workshop down from trying to age a hoodie!

If you haven't heard of SGH, it's a brand you'll really enjoy getting to know.

@Mizmazzle .. it was one of the less challenging eps in terms of driving the conversation.
