Adrienne looks back to a conversation she had last year with the fabulous Emily M Austen. Emily M Austen is the founder and CEO of EMERGE, an award winning PR Agency, based in London, working with global brands, including Huel, Red Bull, Spanx, and Abercrombie. The 25 strong team was started by Emily in 2012, at the age of 22, after she graduated from Manchester University with a degree in Criminology and Criminal Law. Her new book SMARTER is out on November 7th and can be preordered now. In it Emily reframes the idea of over-productivity equalling success, and will ultimately show that those who work smarter, are those who achieve more long-term success. Featuring 10 achievable steps, and the experience of successful entrepreneur, E.M Austen, SMARTER will show you how to reframe previous systems that your brain predicts, switch your mindset from one of scarcity to one of abundance, join the 8am club, conduct a busyness detox, define what success means to you, track your energy not your time, identify and set healthy boundaries, time block, habit pair and switch to mono tasking, and so much more.

With social commerce booming and physical retail undergoing reinvention, staying relevant means delivering experiences as dynamic as the customers themselves. One stat alone says it all: after Kendrick Lamar sparked a flare jeans frenzy, American Eagle saw a 125% spike in Google searches and 25% more store traffic in just days.So how does a legacy retailer like American Eagle Outfitters keep its edge with a generation that swipes faster than it shops?

From TikTok virality to in-store innovation, Craig shares how American Eagle is turning its 50-year playbook into a blueprint for the next era of retail.Key topics of discussion…How American Eagle uses feedback loops—from 35,000 Gen Z store associates to a 2,000-person youth panel—to track trends in real time and adjust marketing and product strategies accordingly.Why the “Lived In” store concept is the most successful in American Eagle's 48-year history, blending elevated design with community-driven experiences to drive conversion and loyalty.The launch of the “Live Your Life” affiliate program, a bid to transform creators into digital store associates and cement deeper bonds with youth consumers in the social commerce age.Craig Brommers is a seasoned global marketing executive with deep expertise in brand expansion across geographic, digital, and category dimensions. He has led marketing at top retail brands including American Eagle, Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch, Calvin Klein, and Speedo, consistently driving growth through purpose-driven strategies and a strong command of data-informed decision-making.

If you've ever felt like you don't have a place where you belong, Sadie's guest today, Lacy Abercrombie, can empathize! Lacy shares her story of trauma, pain, hurt, secret sin, and never feeling like she belonged — and how a snowstorm ended up being the moment she finally got serious about the Lord. Out of the pain she's experienced in the church and with Christians, Lacy created her character “Jezziebeth,” whom you've probably seen in a reel or on TikTok!Lacy says she pretended to be a Christian for years and was very good at it — but when asked if she loved the Lord, she had to be honest and say, “No.” And this was right before she went on stage at a women's conference to deliver her comedic monologue! You'll love Lacy's honesty, authenticity, and humor in this incredible conversation. And don't miss her encouragement for singles — and why she'll never say no to a meal stop at Chili's!  This Episode of WHOA!

North Dakota stands at the crossroads of agricultural evolution, with livestock diversification emerging as a powerful economic driver for farms across the state. In this revealing conversation with Amber Wood of the North Dakota Livestock Alliance, we uncover how this relatively young organization (established 2017) is reshaping the future of animal agriculture across the Peace Garden State.For a state dominated by crop production and beef cattle, the potential for dairy, swine, and poultry expansion represents an untapped frontier. Amber shares the remarkable story of two proposed dairy operations that could literally transform the industry overnight - a 12,500-cow facility near Abercrombie and a 24,000-cow operation near Hillsboro. Together, these projects would triple North Dakota's current dairy population, potentially attracting processing infrastructure that has been steadily disappearing from the region. This chicken-and-egg dilemma of needing processors to support farmers while processors need sufficient volume to justify investment highlights the delicate balance required for agricultural growth.Beyond the economics of scale, we explore how livestock integration enhances land value through what Amber playfully calls "number two being number one" - the profound impact of manure on soil health. Beyond providing the basic NPK nutrients, livestock waste delivers micronutrients, organic matter, and moisture retention capacity that commercial fertilizers simply cannot match. This natural enhancement creates a virtuous cycle where crops feed animals and animals nourish the soil.The NDLA offers a suite of services that remove barriers for producers considering livestock diversification. From free site analyses examining everything from power availability to road infrastructure, to guiding farmers through complex permitting processes that can span hundreds of pages of documentation, they provide the expertise many landowners simply don't possess. We also touch on current challenges facing livestock producers, including the recent spread of avian influenza into dairy herds and the promising developments in vaccination technology that could help control its spread.Whether you're a crop producer considering diversification, a current livestock operator looking to expand, or simply curious about the future of North Dakota agriculture, this conversation illuminates the tremendous potential waiting to be unlocked. Connect with the North Dakota Livestock Alliance at ndlivestock.org to explore how livestock might fit into your agricultural operation.Follow at www.americalandauctioneer.com and on Instagram & FacebookContact the team at Pifer's

Episode No. 697 features curator Sarah Humphreville and author Marisa Anne Bass. With Eric Crosby, Humphreville is the co-curator of "Gertrude Abercrombie: The Whole World is a Mystery." The exhibition survey's Abercrombie's synthesis of surrealism, landscape, portraiture and still-life, and is the most comprehensive presentation of the artist's work to date. It is at the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh through June 1 before traveling to the Colby College Museum of Art. An excellent catalogue was published by the Carnegie and DelMonico Books. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for $50-55. Bass is the author of The Monument's End: Public Art and the Modern Republic, which was recently released by Princeton University Press. The book finds the origin of many of today's questions around monuments and memory within the early modern Netherlands. Among the artists Bass discusses are Rembrandt, Dirck van Delen, Hendrick de Keyser, Spencer Finch, Thomas Hirschhorn, and more. Bass is a professor at Yale University. Her previous books include Insect Artifice: Nature and Art in the Dutch Revolt and Jan Gossart and the Invention of Netherlandish Antiquity. Amazon and Bookshop offer "The Monument's End" for $20-42.

The artist Gertrude Abercrombie is not someone whose name I knew until very recently. But she's definitely a name to know now. Born in 1909 in Austin, Texas and dying in 1977 in Chicago, Abercrombie was a painter of witchy and surreal canvases. They seem like lucid dreams, full of haunted landscapes, lone women, masked figures, barren trees, forked paths, and mysterious towers. In life, Abercrombie was a remarkable character. She was variously known as the “Queen of Chicago,” for her big presence in Hyde Park where she presided over a vibrant, self-curated social scene at a stately Victorian-era home; and as the “Jazz Witch,” for her enthusiastic support of Chicago jazz musicians in the 1940s and 50s—plus her personal affectation of wearing a peaked witch's hat. Abercrombie was long a pretty obscure figure. But in recent years, her art has seen a remarkable upsurge of interest, culminating in an exciting touring exhibition of her paintings titled “Gertrude Abercrombie: The Whole World Is a Mystery" on view now at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh. We've run multiple stories on Abercrombie recently, one by Katie White recounting her life and art ("Meet Surrealist Gertrude Abercrombie, the ‘Jazz Witch' Who Captivated the Art World"), and one by Eileen Kinsella, tracking this once nearly forgotten artists's recent return to the art market spotlight, nearly a half century after her death ("Once a ‘Regional Thing,' Gertrude Abercrombie's Enigmatic Art Is Selling for Huge Sums. Here's Why"). In this episode, We talk to both of them, to get a full picture of this artist's life and legacy.

Isabelle and David welcome back Marcus Soutra, co-founder of Eye to Eye and founder of For the Good Consulting, and explore the nature of authenticity, "coolness" and the meaning of masking with nation-wide advocacy expert and fellow ADHD and LD-er. How did being "cool" go from being rich and unaffected to being authentic and open about ND/LD identities? From the loneliness and high masking rates of ADHDers, to Abercrombie & Fitch t-shirts and social media, the ways ND culture has approached masking and unmasking.----Isabelle talks about how being wealthy and affording the performance/clothes of ‘coolness' growing up was Abercrombie & Fitch back in her high school days--these were expensive clothes that you had to get at the mall and were part of the performance of being 'cool.' And what about how much of coolness, at least for a time, was defined by money, or access to certain expensive clothing brands (like Abercrombie and Fitch) What it means to perform and be high masking, for her. There is a coolness factor, the kid who can pick up what's cool has an advantage over the kid who doesn't. Marcus sums it up: are you able to fit in and be embraced by the neurotypical world? And if you can't, there's the loner path, the bully path? The empathy he has for the bully path—they were, in his past, the LD/ND kids who were dealing with loneliness and not masking well and it was their way of finding their way to a role in the school community. 60% of people with ADHD say they mask on regular basis and 33% say there is a loneliness to the experience of having ADHD. Then there's also the pain of being high-masking or being accepted by the neurotypical world, how little practice you have at sitting with who you really are, and finding a stable sense of self. There is a way to be a self to fit in that is not the same as an authentic, self-confident knowing-who-you-are self. The difference between doing it in a healthy way v. doing it in a way to survive. Hard to know what parts of you are okay, and when you're blending into a neurotypical world, there's a significant advantage of being able to read the rooms around social cues. Marginalized senses of self are real, having to exist believing you're less than. Or believing if the mask ever falls, it's terrifying. Isabelle names that there's a management around masking and the layers, like she can unmask and say “I have ADHD!” but she doesn't say, “I have ADHD and I screwed up the finances again so I can't afford the school bill.” Something for her connects coolness to unaffectedness, not being vulnerable, or not caring what others think. Beyond the unique person who owns where they are, where does coolness come from in our culture? Marcus responds that it's often the people at the top of the social hierarchy, it's the celebrities, the role models.  Growing up for Marcus, there were the most attractive movie stars who were dyslexia, like Tom Cruise, Orlando Bloom, not Paul Giamatti. When it came to Aspergers (previous name for low support need Autism, check out more in depth on this history below) or Autism (before it was known as Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD) were superheroes, like RainMan, Temple Grandin, and that was our introduction to the autism community. If you're dyslexic, the way to make it out is to have hotness or have superhero qualities, and if you don't fit into either one of those, good luck. This brings up how celebrities are not so far removed anymore, from the days that you got these bland PR stories or tabloids, now you have people sharing their stories and unmasking on social media. Marcus names that authenticity is now a part of social media, and it's important for celebrities to have a cause, to be speaking to some aspect of this. If we'recynical, it could be a branding strategy, or it could be a shift in culture, because this emphasis on authenticity rather than hiding has been a big change in the last five years. What is Abercrombie & Fitch? The following documentary covers it pretty much:"White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie and Fitch" (Netflix documentary)DEFINITIONS:Masking: Often used in referenced to autistic folx (Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)), it also applies to folx with ADHD, OCD, and all kinds of neurodivergence (ND) and learning differences (LD), like dyslexia, dycalculia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, etc. It's the idea that you have to wear a neurotypical "mask" to be accepted or to engage in a world made for those that are neurotypical. You 'pretend' as if you brain and nervous system work in ways they don't. It can be (and feel like) a matter of survival. From a great article on the topic:“For many neurodivergent people, masking is a survival tool for engaging in neurotypical societies and organizations. Masking (also called camouflaging) is the artificial performance of social behaviors deemed more “socially acceptable” in a neurotypical culture.”For more on Marcus Soutra:www.For the Good Consulting.comSoutra is a dynamic, award-winning advocate, leader, and trailblazer in the field of neurodiversity (ND).

Isabelle and David welcome back Marcus Soutra, co-founder of Eye to Eye and founder of For the Good Consulting, and ask an interesting question of this nation-wide advocacy expert and fellow ADHD and LD-er: how has life in schools changed for neurodivergent kids, especially now that some of us are parents/educators/in charge? Are kids still afraid, as David was, of having to go to the nurses' office? And how has what's "cool" been redefined in the past decades? From trauma modes to collared shirts, from shifting ADHD from a diagnosis to an identity, the three explore perspectives on masking (AKA using energy to appear as neurotypical), which can be both a poison and a salve.----David wonders, given that Marcus travels across the continental United States…what is he seeing as patterns in neurodivergent culture? Marcus describes that he sees the elder millennials having kids who are now being identified as being neurodivergent, and naming, “The trauma ends with me,” and they're refusing to hand this off to the next generation, and because a generation that grew up with these labels are now turning into parents, school leaders, caregivers, people in charge. David likens this to growing up in an earlier generation where he was taught to toughen up, to take the knocks and handle it. Isabelle relates this to how when you're living in survival mode, you can't also be processing the trauma and making meaning of it, you first have to survive—and part of survival mode is to have tunnel vision, to stay tough, to not pause to feel. So it would make sense for a generation that maybe always was in survival mode to try to pass that on to their kids in the form of “toughen up.” She relates to wanting to break this cycle, though, so hard, as a parent. And also—what does David mean by the “boy named Sue” generation? (Answer: it's a reference to a Johnny Cash song, see below). Marcus describes how this compares to other movements, where something that used to be a diagnosis or label is then taken back as an identity. As he has ADHD, he was hoping this change would happen so much faster, in his small, privileged ND community this change happened so rapidly. It does take these generational shifts and changes to make these things stick. David names that individually, we all have individual struggles that rub up against the system. It felt like school was meant to take parts of us away, it was like an eraser trying to shave parts off. But we are be keepers of that. In school there was no concept of advocating for an accommodation, it was just: do you want to look weird? Leaving class early to go get his meds. How has this changed for kids and adults? It's hard to generalize because “you know one neurodivergent person, you know one neurodivergent person.” But having an open conversation about something and talk about it and acknowledge and not other it—it does set it up for students to have a teacher they can talk to and ask for what they need (even one adult in that building). The needle has moved from the average high schooler even knowing what dyslexia/ADHD/any ND or LD is. Marcus wasn't bummed out about dyslexic, but back in high school, it was other people were going to see him being different. He refused to get accommodations for the third time, because if he got accommodations for it, he wouldn't take the SAT at the same time. Isabelle remembers that as a full body memory, taking the SAT being a production back in the day and even in her own experience being bussed on the short bus into a different school for a Gifted program and how it signaled you were different but also you didn't want to belong to this select tribe, either.  David names: different is dangerous in some ways, not just for kids but for adults, too. You walk into a room and everyone is wearing a blue “I'm here for a reason” shirt and you might slowly back out of the room and go “I don't belong.” Trying to be like everyone else is both the salve and the poison—it helps keep us save when we're masking—what does everyone else is doing? It helps us mask, but David's first time being a room where people admitted they were neurodivergent, Grady was bouncing a racket ball, the relief and joy you feel when you can join in being more authentically yourself. Isabelle is thinking of the “Cool Bean” book (see below) and how in that story, the beans are ‘cool' not just because they are performing as cool and have style and whatnot, but also because they are willing to take risks and help those who are being bullied or laughed at, that are able to stand up for others and themselves in a way. This is so different than ‘coolness' as Isabelle experienced it in her little bubble growing up in suburban Chicago, where coolness felt way more about avoiding being targeting and felt meaner and scarier and more about social power and wielding it (with meanness). Marcus names how his masking helped him in a way; he didn't know if he could get away with getting into trouble so he would know how to appear wearing a collared shirt and combed hair and befriend his teachers so that he would get on their good side. David describes how with ‘coolness,' it could be more about performing as if, rather than actually being it—like Marcus wasn't actually friends with his teachers but he had the appearance of it, and how often we take those appearances of coolness and roll with it. Isabelle wonders—what about the privilege of masking? Like the way people who mask more easily and slot into neurotypical expectations have privileges and also—‘detecting' what's cool? And what about how much of coolness, at least for a time, was defined by money, or access to certain expensive clothing brands (like Abercrombie and Fitch) What it means to perform as if you are confident in who you are, Johnny Cash's “Boy Named Sue” (live at San Quentin, 1969)Cool Beans book (by Jory John) read aloud (by Harper Kids)Smart Cookie (also by Jory John) read aloud (by Magical Little Minds) about learning differences/neurospicyness according to Isabelle"White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie and Fitch" (Netflix documentary)------Cover Art by: Sol VázquezTechnical Support by: Bobby Richards

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Graeme Labe, Managing Partner and Chief Design Officer at Luxury Frontiers. He discusses how his immersive design firm got started and has gained traction since 2020 as people are seeking more meaningful experiences. Graeme redefines the meaning of luxury travel, explaining that genuine experiences and a connection to nature are important parts of this market. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Graeme transitioned from traditional hotel project management to becoming the managing partner at Luxury Frontiers, a company specializing in immersive and experiential design for the hospitality industry Why the concept of luxury has evolved to focus more on genuine and meaningful experiences rather than just physical amenities How the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the demand for experiential hospitality What specific strategies and design elements Luxury Frontiers use to integrate local communities into their projects, ensuring sustainability and creating mutual benefits Graeme shares insights on creating holistic return on investment by balancing financial gains with environmental sustainability and community engagement The Rise of Immersive Experiences Graeme co-founded Luxury Frontiers, a design firm that creates unique and innovative architectural designs for the hospitality industry. Their goal is to craft unforgettable experiences that blend seamlessly with the surrounding natural environment. By working with well-known clients like Abercrombie and Kent, Graeme's approach has helped redefine what luxury travel means today. The idea of luxury has changed. It's no longer about flashy displays of wealth. Today's Travelers are looking for authentic and meaningful experiences connecting them with nature and local culture. Graeme understands this shift and uses it to create designs that appeal to modern travelers. One example is the Nabiba project in Mexico, collaborating with Four Seasons. This project reimagines hospitality by focusing on unique lodging, interactive dining, and deep engagement with the local area. Guests are encouraged to participate in food preparation, and there's no traditional reception area. Nabiba offers an immersive experience that goes beyond a typical hotel stay. Strategic Collaboration Graeme believes collaboration is key, whether with other architects, designers, or local communities. He's convinced that teamwork leads to amazing results, not just in the creative process but in the final product because it brings together a wealth of knowledge and experience. Sustainability is really important to Graeme and Luxury Frontiers. He explained that it's not just about being eco-friendly – it's also about creating jobs for the people who live nearby. Their projects often use local architecture and traditional building methods, which means more jobs and skills training for locals. This way, the whole community benefits from each project for years to come. Redefining ROI in Hospitality The COVID-19 pandemic really sped up the demand for immersive experiences. As people started coming out of lockdowns, they really wanted to reconnect with nature and enjoy meaningful interactions. Graeme noticed a big increase in demand for projects that offer genuine engagement with the environment and local culture. This shift has allowed Luxury Frontiers to focus on delivering amazing experiences and solidify their position as a market leader. Graeme wrapped up the conversation by challenging the traditional idea of return on investment (ROI). He suggested that travel marketers need to start looking at the bigger picture and consider both financial returns and environmental impact for the future of hospitality. By prioritizing sustainable practices and immersive experiences, companies can improve their bottom line and make a positive contribution to the world and local communities.
