Joshua Vides
Embracing Opportunity: Lessons on Creativity and Entrepreneurship

Our recent CreativityFlow event featured the multi-talented Josh Vides. In this engaging discussion, we dive deep into Josh's incredible journey from being a firefighter to becoming a renowned artist and entrepreneur in the streetwear and high-fashion industries.

He discusses his early experiences working at Zumiez and The Hundreds, where he learned valuable lessons about the streetwear industry and sales. After a period of self-doubt and depression, Josh pivoted to focus on his artistic vision, leading to the creation of his signature style, "Reality to Idea." This concept gained traction when he went viral on social media, attracting attention from celebrities and brands.

Josh recounts his experiences negotiating deals with major brands like Jordan, Fendi, Ferrari, Airbnb and BMW, emphasizing the importance of preparation and confidence in seizing opportunities. He reflects on the challenges of sudden fame, the emotional rollercoaster of going viral, and the necessity of staying grounded and authentic as an artist.

“There's a bad part about going viral. It's you have so many friends before it... and now the next day, you're the guy that LeBron James is wearing your shoes.”

He concludes by advising aspiring creatives about the importance of being ready for opportunities and learning from every experience, encouraging listeners to embrace their journeys and strive for success.
