Image 3: UNEMPLOYABLE is the story of a bunch of misfits who chose to create a world to exist in, rather than conform to one in which they didn’t fit. Led by Australia’s Hill brothers, the group went on to become industry pioneers, forming the skate, street and surf company, Globe International.

Growing up skating around the suburbs of Melbourne, the three Hill brothers founded Globe International on a whim, without any formal training in business management. They just wanted to have fun, and they were bored of all the skate products on offer at the time. "Clearly we were unemployable," says Matt Hill, the youngest brother and company CEO, "To the outside that meant we were losers with juvenile hobbies and no future. To us it meant not following a conventional life path. We wanted a grown up life that would match our teen lives: optimistic, innovative and fun. Turns out that when you band people together with that "fuck convention" mentality, it's a powerful, creative and inspiring force."
