The Clothing Brand that Took Over Campus
We sat down with the team behind the famous “I Survived the Dubinskly Elevator” merch from their brand Mosh Pit Connected. We get insights into their creative process including how Vann Ceniceros makes the shirts in his basement, how Gabriel Pereyra designed one of the first shirts using Snapchat, to finding out how Rachel Robinson captures the Moshpit essence through her lens. We also get a behind-the-scenes look at some of their new upcoming projects! Click here to watch now.
Equinox Brand Deal
This was our very first episode of the podcast. At the time of filming, in early October of 2023, we didn’t even have a name for our podcast. We just knew FIT is filled with such creative and Unconventional minds and we wanted to highlight student success stories. In this first episode, we experimented with angels, lighting, and audio. If this is your first time watching the Podcast I highly recommend watching another episode first to see how far we have come, especially with BETTER AUDIO! We decided to have the Student Life Program Coordinator join us to discuss the beginnings of The Boxing Club and how we secured an Equinox partnership. Click here to watch now.
