Punk at Scale: Amplifying Authenticity
Description:
The tension between growth & authenticity, unexpectedness & accessibility, profits & social impact are central themes in today’s success stories. While it involves hard work and constant dialogue, it’s key to staying alive. For Meow Wolf, it’s especially important since the “product” is art & experience. For Liquid Death, it’s integrating heavy metal & environmental responsibility into water. For Scott Goodstein, it’s using punk ethos in grassroots activism in high profile campaigns around the world. As younger audiences seek ethics and stimulation, punk is power.
