L U C I M A | Podcast | If Your Life Were a Movie: Special Guest Winston Binch

This is episode 3 of the LUCIMA Podcast series, "If Your Life Were a Movie".

Everyone has a story to tell. Human stories about change, transformation and often redemption. Through real life story arcs, our special guests explain how they became who they are today. Join us for an inside look into some amazing stories.

In this episode, Charles interviews Winston Binch, Chief Digital Officer of Deutsch North America. Winston talks about how a lifelong passion for innovation and creativity became a successful career in advertising. 

Chief Digital Officer, Deutsch North America 

Winston Binch is one of the most accomplished digital leaders of his generation.  As Chief Digital Officer of Deutsch North America, he has grown the agency’s offering from 5 percent of overall revenue to 40 percent and has transformed the company from an advertising agency to a digital innovator — a feat that led Fast Company to recognize Deutsch as one of the most innovative companies in advertising. 

His work has picked up honors from One Show, Comm Arts, UX Awards, AICP, the Andys, Effie Awards, and the Webby Awards. He has won at Cannes 30 times, including two Titanium Lions, three Grand Prix awards, and Interactive Agency of the Year three times. Winston was named one of Business Insider’s 2015 Most Creative People in Advertising, one of the 2014 Internationalist Innovators and a Top 25 iMedia Internet Marketer and Innovator. 

Some of the most innovative digital in advertising history can be credited to Winston. He helped bring customization to Nike by way of Nike iD, Whopper Sacrifice to Burger King, and the Pizza Tracker to Domino's. Most recently, he reinvented Volkswagen's approach to online car shopping and is currently helping Taco Bell reimagine mobile ordering. In 2015, Deutsch was #2 on Ad Age’s Agency A-List. 

Prior to Deutsch, Winston led the digital practice at CP+B where he served as partner, and before that he worked at R/GA and Sony Music. Winston is cofounder of Boulder Digital Works at the University of Colorado and the M-School: Institute of Marketing at LMU. He sits on the board of the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and Protect Our Winters, and contributes to Harvard Business Review, Entrepreneur, and Adweek.

L U C I M A | Podcast | If Your Life Were a Movie: Special Guest Charles Lucima

This is episode 2 of the LUCIMA Podcast series, "If You're Life Were a Movie".

Everyone has a story to tell. Human stories about change, transformation and often redemption. Through real life story arcs, our special guests explain how they became who they are today. Join us for an inside look into some amazing stories.

In this podcast the roles are reversed and Keith Carhill interviews fashion photographer and podcast host Charles Lucima. Charles' movie is called, "Redefining the Rules", "Starting My Life" and/or "Overtime". He talks about how his early life influences instilled illusions of success and destiny; illusions that ultimately prevented him from creating and realizing his own visions and dreams. It wasn't until one fateful morning in January 2009 that Charles (in his own words) died in a surfing accident. This is the story of how Charles decided to finally take control and responsibility of his own life.

L U C I M A | Podcast | Brian VENTH and Barbara Guillaume Epilogue and Discussion

This is the epilogue for the Brian VENTH and Barbara Guillaume podcasts.

Here is the link to the two diagrams referenced in the podcast:
http://lucimablog.blogspot.com/2015/10/epilogue-for-brian-and-barbaras-podcast.html

Caution: Serious business strategy and philosophy discussion ahead! You have been warned!

Charles shares his philosophical guidelines behind the business. Charles describes how certain contradictions between his actions and his ideals have limited the sustainability of his photography; specifically the lack of social impact of his imagery. Charles also shares the vision and strategy behind creating a podcast that is more inspirational and less technical in nature; a podcast that transitions away from the current core competency of fashion photography.

In this podcast, Charles talks to internationally published model and celebrity makeup artist Barbara Guillaume about being a 14-year-old model in Paris, surviving the modeling industry, becoming a celebrity makeup artist, and starting her new jewelry line! But this podcast is less about Barbara's career accomplishments and more about a real human being transcending the world of modeling/makeup and making a real difference in this world. Enjoy!

L U C I M A | Podcast | Special Guest Jamie Luca

In this podcast Charles talks with fashion photographer Jamie Luca about his experiences as a modeling agent, getting published in French Vogue/GQ, shooting in Japan/Europe/Australia, starting his own magazine, kicking models out of the studio, achieving greater commercial success through brutal honesty, directing models for more vulnerability and expression, and editing your life!

And that's really just the tip of the iceberg. But rather than having a 10 paragraph introduction to Jamie Luca and this podcast, just listen to the damn thing. You'll be glad you did.

Listen

Hearing what you want to hear at its best

Following the Road Trip Podcast (Part II) Commercial Concerns and the Special Guest Billy Coker: Commercial Photography and Videography podcast comes a common theme of ego and how that ego gets in the way of commercial success.

Hell it's not just photographers. It's people in general.

Look, I get it. We lie to ourselves to protect our fragile egos. It's a lot easier to believe that Santa Claus is a jolly fat man who will give you presents just for being good, than it is to work two jobs to buy Christmas presents for your kids because (spoiler alert) Santa Claus doesn't actually exist.

L U C I M A | Podcast | Special Guest Billy Coker: Commercial Photography and Videography

On this podcast Charles talks with Billy Coker, owner/creative director/photographer of More Burritos, LLC., about his work as a graphic designer for video game covers and movie posters, art director at an advertising agency and now owner/creative director/photographer at More Burritos, LLC. Through some of his more memorable work experiences, Billy offers great insight to working with art directors, creative directors, clients, managers and also provides some sage advice on how to succeed in commercial photography-videography.
