Bill Sanders is a young chef based in New Jersey, who never initially set out to pursue a career in cooking. His journey began at the age of 13, when he started cooking at home out of necessity, as his hard-working single mother was often away. What started as a way to survive soon transformed into a passion as he spent years experimenting with flavors and ingredients. At 16, he landed his first job as a busboy at the now-defunct Pig & Prince, where he worked under the guidance of his mentor, Chef Michael Carrino. Since then, he’s been on a mission to master his craft.

The most pivotal moment in his culinary journey came when he joined the 7 Doors Down Ramen team, where the Asian and Japanese-inspired cuisine sparked a deeper connection to the culinary world, much like a tuna caught deep in the sea. From there, he went on to co-found Kinjo with Chef Jamie Knott before launching his own brand, Alma Matters Industries. Through this platform, he offers consultations, private chef services, and runs Alma Izakaya pop-up shops, which have become a staple in the local restaurant scene.

Ewok One is a legendary graffiti artist based in New York City who has been sharing his artwork with the world for nearly three decades. With a background in skateboarding and breakdancing, his natural progression within hip-hop culture was a seamless fit. Exceptionally talented across multiple disciplines, he infuses originality and attitude into every piece he creates—whether on the streets, in fine art spaces, or through his collaborations with various clients across different fields. Not only is he one of the greatest artists to ever touch a spray can, but he has also contributed significantly to the culture by designing artwork for some of my favorite hip-hop albums of all time. Additionally, he played a key role in designing content for the iconic graffiti-forward video game Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure, released by Marc Ecko in 2006. As someone who has admired his work since my teenage years, it was both an honor and a pleasure to sit down with him and satisfy my curiosities. I'm excited to share our conversation with you all. Please join me in welcoming the absolutely incredible Ewok One!

Christian Petrovich is the CEO and founder of Argos Fragrances, a niche luxury fragrance house based out of Dallas, Texas. Argos Fragrances came onto the scene, debuting in 2018, but it wasn't until the following year, 2019, that their all-new scent took fragrance enthusiasts by storm due to the introduction of their infamous "Triumph Of Bacchus" release. The fragrance community was set ablaze as that scent caused a little wave of hype with positive reviews from fragrance influencers and collectors alike across all social media outlets. I became friendly with Christian upon my discovery of TOB and his fragrance house in 2020, and I've been a fan of the man himself as well as his scents ever since. He and I have been in talks about having this conversation for quite some time, and it was a pleasure to finally have him in the studio. There is much more to Christian than his fragrances, as he's got his hand involved with real estate, he's a model, and he's even acted in some small roles in various movies. I had a blast and learned a lot about his passion and drive for the business of scent, and we hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we enjoyed recording it!
