*TEASER* You Can See Everything, If You Speak Fielder

0:00I think that one thing that blew me away and why I think Nathan Fielder is. people are like he is singular but i don't know that i feel like he is going to be like a forbearer of the type of thing that we will have as a default in the future where we require more uh like nuance and meta inter like meta layers of meta in our storytelling but we also need uh more we require more nuance for a world that is less certain and a world that has a lot more gray in it um and i think that's where a nathan fielder who by the way graduated uh i want to say from the university of vancouver uh with a bachelor of commerce um which which not surprising uh he definitely was from Vancouver and he was in some class.

1:00University of Victoria. Oh, Victoria. Bachelor of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you know that about him, then Nathan for you makes a lot more sense. It definitely does. Because here's a person who has like a Canadian equivalent of a MBA, but with an extreme focus on marketing um and uh you know i think business management has a little bit of a different aspect well and i think it actually allowed him to to run the shtick that he did because people are like oh here's a guy who has a degree has a degree and in advanced marketing right and you know and and thinking about how uh businesses small businesses can sort of think outside the box to attract customers and do so in sort of like a sort of preposterous attention economy centric way and obviously he goes off the beaten path you know and strays away from just business in general well and then there's traces of the rehearsal by the end of the show and i think that's actually so fun like actually that's true for a lot of nathan's work is by the time you get to the end of it you're like he's on to something else now like well that so that's where i was going to go with this is that it i think his journey as a storyteller or as like a uh storyteller is that the right word i'm sort of struggling for the word like as a as a as a performance artist yeah performance artist yeah yeah i mean he was like really into close-up magic as you know a teenager right um he's a magician he's he's an he's an he's like a yeah he's a magician to some degree i think i think as a performer like part of that like 100 oh my gosh like i didn't see that coming like it's it's the trick but as a performer he he does having this education around commerce he moves it slowly over time into a cultural examination and that to me is what makes this so interesting and why I think it's really important in our context because I think the commerce and the culture are inseparable.
