Evolution

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.”

— Charles Darwin

What is the arc of your evolution?

ArcStone’s next Happy(our) will focus on our value of evolution in life and in the workplace.

Join us on October 25 as we explore evolution with four experts — Marianne Combs (MPR), Alexei Moon Casselle (Kill the Vultures, Roma di Luna), Mike Schwandt (Bauhaus Brew Labs), and Dan Corrigan (First Ave.). Our panelists will discuss the challenges that come with the pressure to evolve and what the lessons they’ve learned along their paths. Find out how to embody change in your own career and artistic endeavors.

Marianne Combs

Marianne Combs lives in St. Paul, MN and has reported for MPR News for the last 20 years at Minnesota Public Radio, with 15 years experience covering the local arts and culture scene -- but in that time she's stumbled upon her own path of discovery and evolution. In her line of work, Combs hosts a call-in show, produces a nuanced radio feature, writes about breaking news, and gives live debriefs from the field. Along with her extensive work in journalism, Combs recently had the opportunity to moderate a conversation with Dan Rather for "Pen Pals," a lecture series sponsored by Friends of the Hennepin County Library.

Casselle has recorded and released over twenty albums with various hip-hop groups, as well as with folk/Americana band Roma di Luna that he co-leds as a singer/songwriter with Channy Leaneagh (POLIÇA).

Mike Schwandt

Mike Schwandt has spent his entire professional career trying to connect creative concepts to the right people. Cutting his teeth in media strategy and connection planning throughout the Twin Cities, he's worked on everything from entertainment to automotive, retail, agriculture, CPG brands and most recently, Arby's. When he and his family started the brewery, Bauhaus Brew Labs, in Northeast Minneapolis, that’s when he found his most genuine passion for developing differentiation driven marketing to compete with the rising craft beer category in the region. Today, Mike still spends his days at Fallon, but the next beer idea is always in the back of his mind.

As both a freelancer and the official house photographer for the legendary club First Avenue, he has captured thousands of live concerts, shot countless band promo photos, and was behind the camera for many of the best-known and most beloved album covers by local artists. This retrospective, culled from his personal archive of tens of thousands of photos, presents a unique perspective into a vibrant world.
