描述

On episode 30 of the Zero Rights Reserved podcast, hosts Toady Hawk and Joshua Fisher from The Noun Square sit down with David Horvath, a legend in the Lifestyle Character Brand world and creator of such cultural heavyweights as Uglydoll and Bossy Bear. In this conversation, we dig into David’s past and his development from a curious child into a creative force. We hear his story about founding Uglydoll with his now-wife and working partner Sun-Min Kim, and building that property into a globally successful character brand. We also chat about David’s 2022 Nouns proposal to put Nouns Sofubi and Plush into high end Japanese stores, and how they came back asking for more. Lastly, David talks about his new proposal to Nouns to produce more Nounish Plushes and place them in stores where they can be a trigger for new people to fall down the Nounish rabbit hole.
