It's, like, a very simple form, simple format, but we got our friends who were visual artists to actually design the cover of these wallets. And Angie , at the time, when she was in art school, we actually used all of the art school facilities. Yeah, we would, like, print out all the artwork until, like, 4:00 in the morning using this really slow Epson ink jet printers.
And that wallet was sort of that kickstarter of that. And Angie and I never wanted to be pigeonholed into sort of one thing. We never wanted to be, like, a wallet company.
We wanted to be very natural. And Angie 's grandmother, who's now, I think, 96 or 97-- still alive.
And that's what's really cool. And through this process-- Angie at Poketo does all the creative direction. She really is the one who is the look and feel of Poketo and the site.
and things like this. And so Angie 's looking at some of these covers was really-- now, you've seen the final. But it was nice to see all the different iterations that we went through and also how that just relates to business and brand building
We wanted to be very natural. And she brought Angie up and she raised Angie , and we just love that we could honor her in that way, as well, too.
On both sides. And it's beautifully done. I think Angie 's intention with the book was to present these topics and these issues in a way that was inclusive of different perspectives, that didn't further perpetuate a divisiveness, that grounded it in humanity.
And we said, yeah like Angie . So we just wrote it for Angie , which I love. I'm glad it was Roxie Hart and not Elphaba, because that wouldn't be me.
their art out there, those friendships and those collaborations have been sort of the DNA of Poketo. And so the book itself is not only like what Angie 's saying, it's about these sort of spaces and these creative spaces that we've been in, but it's also about the people.
And we see this in all of the different people and the spaces that we actually highlight in the book, too. It's this constant work in progress that Angie was talking about, this constant iteration and this constant growth. So these are a couple of the different-- two different-- But there's like 30 more.
I'm Michael Potts and I play Tom Hawkins who is the principal of the school. Hi, Angie Schworer. I play Angie , a old chorus girl with a heart of gold. Hi. I'm Courtenay Collins and I play Mrs. Greene-- she does not have a first name, Mrs.-- who is the president of the PTA in Indiana,
What connected you to Starr's story? What connected me to the story was the book by Angie Thomas. And if you haven't read it, I highly recommend that you do, because it is so beautiful.
Sabrina Carpenter plays Hailey. And like, when Angie Thomas wrote this book, she was still in college.
Sabrina Carpenter plays Hailey. Also, pick up Angie Thomas's book, which is based off of-- it's also a brilliant read.
But we thought it was kind of campy, and then we were meeting one day and Casey said, what if it's like a showgirl like Angie ? And we said, yeah like Angie . So we just wrote it for Angie , which I love.
And if you have to make all series of different question, like how do you deal with that? He interviewed a good friend of mine, Angie Hobbs, who's a philosopher who does that stuff.
It didn't matter. This is a lesson I learned when I left for six weeks. And so instead of creating a competitor to Thumbtack, or Angie 's List, or HomeAdvisor, or TaskRabbit, or one of those companies, I decided
So, you know, Angie and I started Poketo sort of as a side project in 2003. So we're on our 16th year now.
We wanted to be very natural. And one thing we love about Sonoko is that-- well, Angie , do you want to talk a little bit about-- Yeah.
From the idea to opening on Broadway was about eight years, a really long time. And the one character that changed the most-- we used to have, instead of Angie 's character, we had-- I forget what her name was, but she was an understudy to Elphaba, and she never got to go on she was always slightly green.
her white private school, she just pushes, and it makes the film has this emotional roller coaster, where you're going through all these emotions. That's what I really imagined, envisioned for the movie when I talked to Angie , because her book was very amazing. But what I really love is how-- which I find really significant-- is that you can tell a movie about this specific culture,
But she has another-- we have these other things almost as well. So a lot of that is just to let people, as Angie was saying, who wrote the book, is to have empathy what people go through, and also recognizing how did these things happen.
Hello, everyone. I'm Angie Primavera, and I am a project manager here at Google. And I am very happy today to welcome Rob Peladeau from NexGenK9.
But can we do more? And so I took my inspiration, actually, from Natalie Angier, who's a science writer for "The New York Times." And she wrote a book called "Woman, An Intimate Geography." And what it was was actually a kind of cross-species comparison of how other mammals and other animals do things versus how women do.
She was allergic to it or something. But we thought it was kind of campy, and then we were meeting one day and Casey said, what if it's like a showgirl like Angie ? And we said, yeah like Angie .
The guy was named Ernie. I was married, my wife was named Ann, it was Angie . Max was my grandmother's dog's name.
I don't know if some of you remember this old movie from the '80s directed by Brian De Palma called "Dressed to Kill," but in one of the most famous scenes of the movie, a character played by actress Angie Dickinson is in the elevator going up to the seventh floor.
