Art Curator and Social Sculptor: AJ Girard | Chaos Controlled Podcast 210

AJ Girard shares his journey with Chaos Controlled about growing up in a sports-oriented family to becoming an influential art curator and "social sculptor" in LA. Working with the likes of legendary fashion icons such as Virgil Abloh, AJ recounts how Virgil's interest in his work and a personal DM encouraged him to continue pushing boundaries in the art world. He details his transition from feeling out of place due to his interests in art and sneakers to embracing his unique perspective, eventually leading to significant achievements like being featured in Vogue. AJ's story is a powerful testament to the impact of mentorship, the importance of authenticity, and the transformative power of art in creating community and understanding.
