Troublemaker Interview Series - Episode 6 Doug & John
Channel: The Trouble Notes
Date: 2019-02-10

We meet you in every city that we travel to, magicians – likeminded souls that we want to portrait as The Troublemakers. 
Bennet and Doug have known each since 2007, as they went to University together and have been friends since. They had the luck to catch up in NYC in October of last year. 
Our mission with these Troublemaker Lose Your Ties Series is to give each one of you a voice. Life is about exchange and sharing a picture. We believe all of you have a unique and individual connection to The Trouble Notes and therefore we want to digitally bring you a bit closer together, even though you all are spread around the world. We believe we can grow together and help each other overcome troubling moments. This project is the brainchild of our manager Stefanie Tendler, who is responsible for connecting our troubled universe. Since Stef’s main interest has always been cultural and artistic movement, she made Berlin her new home in 2011 and has been involved in numerous projects ever since. She has worked on photo exhibitions, music video shoots, film productions, experimental theatre as well as writing for the transatlantic blog www.station-station.com. This is how we met and layed the foundation for our relationship. As many of you the Lose Your Ties Theme also resonates with her, as she gave up her old career working in business travel to get a Bachelor of Arts in Publication and Communication and to eventually start her career as a photographer and tour manager for our group. Always attracted by the various forms of art and means of expressing oneself, she chose photography as a her own medium to capture the multi-facetted environments she encounters. She is now also responsible for documenting our tourlife.
