Tessa Burg: Hello and welcome to another episode of Leader Generation brought to you by Mod Op. Our guest today is a creative partner who is deep in the exploration of Web3 and the metaverse. We’re really excited to welcome Limore Shur. Limore, thanks for being on our show.

Limore Shur: Thanks, Tessa. It’s great to be here.

Tessa Burg: So, let’s start with a little bit about yourself and your background.

Limore Shur: Okay, sure. The part we all hate the most, right? So, I know Mod Op because I in some ways started Mod Op. I founded Eyeball, a small motion graphics company in my senior year at Pratt in Brooklyn. I grew up in Cincinnati. To a very creative household full of composers, artists, choreographers. So, I was always in the mix. And Pratt, I fell in love with computer animation and started Eyeball which moved from motion graphics to television shows to branding networks. Ultimately to launching products. As we grew, like Kindle for Amazon and lots of Best Buy and Nike work and we merged with a digital agency, Modus Operandi, and became Mod Op. I exited last year, Mod Op, and prior, for about three, four years prior to that I had started consulting outside of it as a creative partner where I would fulfill a brand need, usually founder-led businesses, to have a partner who was the creative. Who like understood future state, strategy, marketing, website, whatever it was that needed better messaging, better approach, et cetera. So I expanded out into that world since then and continue to be creative partner for a variety of really interesting companies.

Tessa Burg: Yes, and that is why we asked you to be a guest today because one of the companies you’re consulting for is playing in this space of the metaverse. So tell us a little bit about what are the latest trends and developments happening in the metaverse? Because I feel like for our listeners, and for me too, a lot of it ha

Marc V. Stress, co-founder of the Syracuse-based brand consultancy 76West, has been included in to the People to Watch for 2019 by the publication Graphic Design USA.

Graphic Design USA (GDUSA) has recently published its 56 year history of the annual People to Watch. Looking back over the past five decades, we recognize many friends, colleagues and even some heroes from the design industry. Reading over the list, you will find several undisputed historical giants of design including Saul Bass, Ivan Chermayeff, Lou Dorfsman, Milton Glaser, George Lois, and Massimo Vignelli to name only a few. You will also find many more legends, near legends, and legends-to-be. In the 56 year history of the series, Marc V. Stress is one of only two Central New York area designers to be included on the list. Stress was initially named as part of the 2008 class of People to Watch.

For the past 56 years, GDUSA has selected a new class named to their People To Watch list. These designers and industry leaders embody the spirit of the creative community across the United States. Individuals we have come to know and respect for a combination of talent, leadership, success, newsworthiness and community service. In a field so deep in talent and broad in numbers, this is clearly a subjective process, and there are many other talented individuals yet-to-be included. Still, for five decades, it has seemed to work out pretty well: the roster of past participants is star-studded, to say the least.

76West is proud to have one of our co-founders— Marc Stress —included in this list of great designers from history and current industry luminaries.

As a child my father provided most of my entertainment. He was an amazing story teller, improviser, musician, performer, poet, illustrator. For a kid he was really quite fun to be around. His love was composing music and he spent most of his days in his own head, but when I was a child and during my adolescent years he enriched my life with his gifts.

He did not sit us down and teach us life lessons or structures. He didn’t help us with homework or concern himself with our friends or school. But what he did do that was so unique, was try to share what gifts he had with us, every moment he could. He would make us toys with his own hands. He would write, illustrate and bind original storybooks for us. He would sit at night and tell elaborate stories that would go on for months. Chapter after chapter he would make up with an incredible recall of everything he had made up the nights and weeks before. Sometimes he would weave songs into the stories and improvise lyrics that felt completely related. He was a modern day Pixar or Disney.

As we got older, the stories became less fantastic and more tales of his life. More and more he would tell us stories from his experience during World War Two. He told his best stories at Sabbath dinner each Friday night when all of us would sit around the table after dinner. Our conversations would go something like this: “Pick a year between 1942 and 1946”, he would say. So one of the kids would randomly pick a year, say 1944. He would respond “well, Today (October 6th) in 1944 I was in ....... “

He would then go on to tell us in the most intimate detail what happened that day, that week and the weeks around that day. It was incredible. His memory recall from his past was phenomenal. He remembered conversations, peoples’ names, strangers’ stories, ancestry, geography, everything. Amazing!

We would be captivated for hours at a time as he told us this very intimate, naive, p
