Shepard recently spoke with Huck magazine for their “Heroes of Independence” column. Click here to read the interview online. The interview is also available in-print in Huck 56 – The Independence Issue.
“Independence matters because homogeneity sucks. As we all know, bigger companies absorb smaller companies; systems become uniform, and things can become very monotonous and conformist. Independence allows for personal expression, risk-taking, and rapid evolution that isn’t possible on a more corporate or institutional scale.” – Shepard (Via Huck 56)
