In this segment of CreativeMornings DEATH, we learn about finding true meaning in a search for a career path, where building a leather goods brand becomes the difference between life or death. Try not to connect with this story of soul searching, finding purpose, and working towards providing quality manufacturing jobs for craftsmen with Erik Holmberg.

About the speaker

Erik Holmberg is the brains behind the incredible line of leather goods at J. Stark. J. Stark was founded on his desire to create something tangible. He’d spent the previous decade building digital representations of things – ghosts that would vanish the moment they were unplugged.

“It began as a rediscovery of my own potential and became something much greater. I learned it wasn’t about me. It’s about all of us.”
