What happens when punk rock roots meet product innovation at scale?

Nate and Greg sit down with their longtime friend and creative leader, Dave Brown, Head of Creative at Square. Dave’s journey is anything but typical, from booking indie bands and running a record label, to leading creative at some of the world’s biggest tech companies.

They explore what it means to build a meaningful creative career in a world that’s constantly changing and how staying curious, entrepreneurial and grounded in people can lead to breakthrough work.

Dave shares lessons learned from agency life, the power of building trust with business partners, and why bringing your full self (from punk shows to product meetings) is a creative advantage, not a liability.

Whether you’re leading a team, growing a brand, or simply trying to navigate the intersection of creativity and business, this conversation is packed with insight, honesty and a lot of heart.
