ALLSHIPS

Birds x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

This year marks a new era for @ALLSHIPS, starting with the launch of the 'Companions' podcast, which you can watch in its entirety right here- featuring a few of my favorite artists- @JNSilva_, @monaris, and @stevesweatpants, with food from the legendary @GH0STPIPE, and production by Brian Felix. Intro music by @olliechanin. Growing up, I was taught that the dinner table is the heart of the community. My mother would always tell me that her favorite word was companion, because when you break it down to the latin roots, it means the people you share bread with. Food binds us together. We use it to sustain ourselves and our relationships, to break down the walls that divide us, to create trust and form the bonds that our lives unfold around. We’re in a time where we’ve lost so much connection to the distractions that surround us. Our phones and screens, social media, the relentless torrents of information. There is a hunger for real connection, one I feel deeply within myself, one I see reflected in my closest friends and companions. I’m going to do something about it, by bringing people together to share food, and share ideas- removing distractions and diving into the complex conversations and connections that we so crave. I always find the best conversations happen in the glow after a beautiful dinner. This is the first of many conversations with friends who I will invite to join us on future episodes. I've known each of these humans for a decade now and I consider them family, from our @SonyAlpha collective experiences to trips and experiences working together all over the world. In this conversation filmed last summer we discuss social media, the exponential rise of AI tooling, friendship, love, loss, futurism, technology, and how to best navigate an ever-changing world as creative professionals- among many other things. I hope you enjoy and would love to hear your thoughts and ideas about who to invite to dinner next. Thanks for watching! 🚀✨🥖
