On the Rydar is an podcast designed to illuminate creative visionaries in fashion, design, music, art and technology. Founded by two sisters in fashion, Darbe and Ryann, this show aims to demystify the creative and technical process behind what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur in the most fascinating and dynamic industries.

In this episode, we sit down with Ariel Arakas and Elissa Rumford, two of the three co-founders of Ap0cene, a sustainable online marketplace and creative community. Ap0cene was created to support small, independent designers and emerging artists as they strive to grow and scale their businesses. With an emphasis on technology and operational excellence, they’re changing the game by helping small fashion businesses thrive while keeping environmentally friendly practices at the forefront. Their curatorial expertise and eye for bespoke pieces have created an ever-growing online community that trusts them to bring forth the most cutting-edge, unique players in fashion. You’re going to love this conversation with Ariel and Elissa, where technology and fashion collide! We discuss founders' journeys, creating community, funding, scaling, blockchain, sustainability, and much more!
