In this episode, host Chris Do sits down with Spencer Nikosey, the visionary founder of KILLSPENCER®, a brand that epitomizes the fusion of design, functionality, and craftsmanship in the creation of premium leather goods. Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, Nikosey's journey into the world of design was almost predestined, with both parents being designers themselves. Throughout the episode, listeners are treated to the fascinating backstory of KILLSPENCER® and the ethos that drives its founder. Spencer shares insights into his "athletic approach" to design and life—a philosophy centered on discipline, constant practice, and the pursuit of excellence. This approach, coupled with inspiration drawn from a visit to the American Military Museum, led to the creation of KILLSPENCER®'s Historical Reserve collection, which repurposes military-grade materials into stylish, functional products. The brand, known for its meticulously crafted bags, phone cases, and computer cases, operates out of its Los Angeles factory, embodying the spirit of American craftsmanship and innovation.
