On today’s episode we have the founder of For Those Who Sin, Alex Michael Miller. I first learned about For Those Who Sin through social media after some of Alex’s custom pieces caught my attention. After digging a little bit deeper I learned that Alex is the creative mastermind behind the brand and has used his art pedigree to differentiate the brand in a way that is authentically true to who Alex is as a person. It’s a true underdog story, as a kid from Texas and later living in Ohio he took a leap of faith by flying to LA to land a non paid internship. There he couch surfed and soaked up knowledge like a sponge until he was ready to spread his wings as an entrepreneur. Once he realized a 9-5 wasn’t for him he jumped ship and went all in on his art and business. 

You are about to listen to one of my favorite interviews yet. He is a man who dares to be legendary more than anyone I know. A small town kid from Indiana who had the audacity to dream big. A self taught filmmaker and The Godfather of the creator space. He revolutionized the music video space and has made a huge impact on the way artists create tour content. He has helped create the visual aesthetic for some of the industry’s biggest artists including The Chainsmokers and Justin Bieber and has directed two of their most successful videos of all time racking up over 5 billion plays. He is one of the best story tellers I have ever met and boy are you in for a treat.
