Giving a masterclass on empathy, podcaster Dylan Marron in collaboration with Lexus and WSJ Custom Content sat in front of the RIOT cameras in NYC during the pandemic. Dylan’s “Conversations with People Who Hate Me” podcast and social experiment features his conversations with people who have written negative comments to him online in the past. The experience from the shows and the conversations that followed gave Dylan a bank of knowledge on vulnerability, difficult conversations, and empathy. We shot, edited, and produced this long-form instructional class that dives into deep philosophical layers surrounding negative human interactions and delivers a light and positive visual experience for the viewer.

This holistic approach ensures every session is an immersive journey, culminating in a profound sense of achievement and community belonging. Since 2014, Souereya has been a beacon of inspiration, guiding riders through the SoulCycle journey with her dynamic enthusiasm and heartfelt connection. “I love movement… It helps you remember that it isn’t all that serious.” Her story, set against the striking backdrop of New York City, symbolizes the uplifting and transformative essence of SoulCycle. Our dedication to storytelling is evident in these SoulCycle docufilms. We don’t just tell an individual story; we create a way for […]
