Bobby Dekeyser

There is a phase of life many of us are entering where we begin to question the fundamental truths by which we’ve lived. We’ve spoken to enough people through AGEIST to understand that this phase hits us whether we’re empty nesters casting about for our next idea in a...

Janet Schriever

Photo by Erica Hernandez Janet Schriever’s business idea began — as all good ones do — with a need. She couldn’t find the right lotion for a skin condition that inflamed her skin. So she began experimenting — researching products on the internet and then breaking them down ingredient by...

Chon Noriega

A man whose eclectic tastes — from lowbrow 1990s films like Showgirls to obscure Chicano playwrights — are well suited to academia, Noriega is nevertheless a different breed.

Pierre Vudrag

Pierre Vudrag says he can pinpoint the moment the music industry died. In 1998, to promote Tom Petty’s new album Echo, the artist’s label offered one track for free download. More than 150,000 downloaded it. Record stores freaked out and threatened to bury any upcoming albums. The industry, instead...

Yazemeenah Rossi

Yazemeenah Rossi arrived to our interview breathless because of a sunset. “The light was so beautiful and so I just had to get these photographs on the beach,” she says. A day later, she posted to Instagram a photograph of darkening cloud cover creeping in on a Malibu sunset. In...
