Shaun Murdock, the powerhouse VP of Sales & Events at Milk Studios Los Angeles
🕑 Added 2025-12-05 23:00:12 +0000 UTCEpisode 44 brings a special guest and a longtime friend of mine — Shaun Murdock, the powerhouse VP of Sales & Events at Milk Studios Los Angeles. If you’re unfamiliar with Milk Studios, it’s one of the most iconic, high-end creative institutions in the world. With locations in New York City and Los Angeles, Milk is home to legendary fashion campaigns, celebrity editorials, global brand activations, runway shows, commercial productions, and the kind of culture-defining work that shapes the creative industry. Everyone from top designers to major record labels to world-class photographers has passed through Milk’s doors. It’s a creative playground and a cultural engine — and Shaun is at the center of it.
Shaun’s story is wild in the best way: he started at Milk as a 19-year-old intern, worked his way through the ranks over two decades, and today he’s running the Los Angeles studio, leading sales, major productions, events, and a huge roster of clients — all while staying one of the realest, funniest, and most grounded people in the fashion world. His journey is a masterclass in persistence, relationships, creativity, and knowing how to move in spaces where art and business collide.
In this episode, we dive into:
– How Shaun went from intern to executive
– What it takes to stay relevant in the fashion + entertainment world for 20 years
– The studios, shoots, and moments that shaped him
– Building community in a notoriously competitive industry
– Why Milk Studios remains the heartbeat of fashion photography and culture
– And of course… a lot of laughing, storytelling, and behind-the-scenes magic
Shaun is genuinely one of my favorite people in fashion, and I’m hyped for you all to hear this conversation.
Quick disclaimer: I know we’re at episode 44, but I’m still dialing in my audio — so bear with me. I keep hitting the mic a little too hard. We’re getting there!
