Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Chandler Vatavuk. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Chandler thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Do you wish you had started sooner?

This is an interesting question, just for the aspect of it being a dichotomy of age. I started my career of acting at a younger age in college, 20+ years ago, but I stopped it, and I am now re-birthing it in my 40s. So my answer would be, should I have continued it instead of putting it on hold for 20 decades? That is the question.

Chandler, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Life is a meandering road, and I think that is part of who I am as a brand, and as an individual. I never thought i would be where I am today 20 years ago, but I am happy where I am now. I think the biggest part of why i am happy where I am today is that I take every day as a part of who I am, there is something to learn from, and be proud of, and then go forward and make the most of that piece.

That being said, a big part of my job is taking a memory from someone’s past and making it a marketable item, be it something that was a toy they had in 1977 or a pop culture memory from 1985 or something else. Or maybe it was a memory that was never fully remembered or recorded, a wedding or a high school graduation, and maybe you want to relive that experience from someone else’s eyes Memory is an interesting thing, it is either experienced, or experienced from others, yet still it is of the common conscious of all of us.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

The customer is always right is a lesson I had to unlearn. It may have taken a full decade but I have learned that the customer is not ALWAYS right, they may be right 90% of the time but the other 10% of the time. The reason I say that is because over the years I’ve learned that some people are never happy even after 10 times of trying to make them happy. A prime example of that is a customer that orders an items 5 or 6 times, then, tries to cancel the order the because they changed their mind, and even after you try to point them in the direction of a new item, they cancel again. A fickle nature is not a good customer regardless of the situation.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

Finding a legacy for myself that is fulfilling and would make anyone left that truly knows me proud of knowing me.. A legacy is all we have left when we go, and that is what we truly have, even bigger than a will and last testament.
