Greg Selkoe is a polarizing figure in the industry. Some love him. Some hate him. Why? Probably for 2 main reasons.
1) He’s successful as f*ck and people on top tend to get put under a microscope.
2) His company is at the epicenter of street culture. And “street cultists” are a fickle bunch that always have opinions.
With that reason, I thought it was overdue to sit down with the man behind the megaship known as Karmaloop/Plndr/KarmaloopTV/Boylston Trading Co., et al…to find out what it is that makes the entire engine tick.
Enjoy this 1-2-1.

Great interview. Dude seems like a straight shooter and you have to respect that.
Im very appreciative of your 1-2-1 series. It never fails to be interesting or necessary.
Thanks Jeff
@5:08 Very good point about the recession being an authenticity filter. Those who are in it for the $$ will trickle off, while those running on passion/love will stick till the end.
I read this quote from Christian Clancy’s Interview that reminded me of this:
“When it comes to dreams… follow them. If you feel it, go for it. Fuck fear. Follow passion not money. I believe passion is your GPS system, the money will follow if you are truly doing what you love. Chasing money only leads to chasing more money and never feeling fulfilled.”
@6:13 on the fear of being relevant is also VERY true/interesting.
