Marc Ecko Interview

 

Successful entrepreneur Marc Ecko sits down with Jeff Staple to discuss the industry, tough times, and his humble beginnings.  

The Spill

With the severity of what has developed over the past few weeks, it puts into perspective some of our own insignificant feuds. Realizing the harsh reality of what it takes to support our "American Way of Life," is a tough pill to swallow....But swallow it we must as the images of the Gulf Coast are shown again and again on our favorite news networks.

As the fingers point and the blame volleyed, the victims of this incident continue to suffer.  Some say the LIFE of the Gulf Coast is insignificant to the billions of BP Executive Bonuses lost.

They say there's No Reason To Cry Over Spilled Milk.

We say Think Again.  -LK

Film School customs & Buttons..

We actually managed to slide in a few hours of much needed work this weekend as well..with a good bredren of ours heading off to film school we were called upon to supply some very important 'going away' presents & this included a set of our yet to be released "Summer Shades" lanyard as well as the 'Smores' bracelet.. not to overdue ourselves we also decided it would be a good idea to retire a couple of old faithful buttons we currently have in circulation in various places throughout the country...but not to worry as you can see in the background we have the next batch coming your way shortly...June 1st..Start something NEW. -LK

(The "Summer Shades" lanyard will be available to M/F)

World Market Memorial Tour..(cont.)

Aside from some minimal road tripping the weekend gave us an opportunity to venture out into some new places with the trusty Rebel XTi in tow and what we came up with was a short lesson on attention grabbing....good packaging is a must, anything that can ultimately set yourself away from similar products is always a win & wine bottles seem to do a very good job at this, I've seen many a design that required a 'double-look' & even a purchase strictly based off a catchy package design...and of course 'Responsible Usage is Encouraged'..-LK

      

Aside from the eye pleasing wine bottles....Jack Daniel's pecans?

 

Paintings of far away lands always seem to ring a certain tone..they require an even deeper gaze as you think about what it must be like to walk amongst the locals.....

..& for the finale..Licorice Gum? I'm not aware of a single soul who has even the slightest interest in any licorice product, who or what would want to chew it?

 

Another Day another eatery.

There are an enormous amount of food blogs on the web suggesting the best dishes for you to dive into so we'll leave that to them but nonetheless our memorial weekend pretty much began here & we managed to get some pretty decent views, if you're ever in the "Hill" dip in...

The classicness* of the Coke brand can never be mistaken, even its vintage products...

Writing the Future

As Nike continues to put together 3 minute Classics, we must give credit where credit is due. Watching this commercial gave me the chills, and I didn’t even like soccer.

Beginning to see how Sports seems to parallel life.

One moment can change your life forever. -LK

Back to the Basics.

As we anticipate a very productive summer we're going to be trying our very best to keep you updated 'frequently' on ALL LifE KiT happenings this summer.  After a much needed company hiatus it's back to the proverbial drawing board for us...still conducting photo shoots for our soon to drop website [no release date as of yet] & conducting countless amounts of research for our upcoming move..maybe to a city near you. Stay tuned, be safe, & enjoy your holidays, you now have our permission. -LK

Summer Flow

A little break from the norm & some summer eats @ Joe's Diner "Home of the 1lb. Hot Dog" and of course we had the beef dog...the end result tasted a lot better than it looks. -LK

Pursuing Perfection

As we Move Forward we consistently Pursue Perfection. With Love, Energy, Knowledge, and Time ALWAYS in mind; constant self-evaluation and improvement is a day-to-day process. When frustrations and setbacks arise they are quickly extinguished by our promised DREAMS fruition. We can only stay positive through Trusting our Struggle and remaining steadfast towards our destination.
