"The day I decided to quit surfing… it just popped in my head like, 'Huh, nobody just quits surfing. Like if I did, what would happen? Who would I be?'"On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, we ponder the question of ‘who would we be without surfing' with our guest for this episode. Jason Borte is one of the true pillars of East Coast surfing — a competitor, storyteller, teacher, and lifelong ambassador of the stoke. Hailing from Virginia Beach, Jason's journey began with a humbling first session in 1982 and took him all the way to ESA All-Star and ASP East Pro Champion. A Master's-level educator, surf school founder, Hall of Famer, and author of multiple books including Pipe Dreams, Virginia Is for Surfers, and his upcoming memoir How Surfing Ruined My Life, Jason now serves as Director of Surf Coaching at Atlantic Park — home to North America's first Wavegarden Cove surf lagoon — where he continues shaping the future of the sport through coaching, community programs, and youth initiatives.We dig into his transition from 15 years in the classroom to the surf world, new competitive formats at Atlantic Park like the man-on-man "Chlorine Clash," and inclusive youth programs bringing swimming and surfing to underserved kids through partnerships with Pharrell and Adidas. Plus, Jason shares the story behind his books and what led him to step away from the ocean for an entire year.Follow Jason on Instagram @jborte & @howsurfingruinedmylifeAnd you can order his books here: Diangelo PublicationsThe Swell Season Surf Podcast is recorded by The NewsStand Studio at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan and is distributed by The Swell Season Surf Radio Network.

"I think to be successful, you need to be able to tolerate all of the mixed emotions that come with backing yourself and putting yourself out there” – QJ. In this episode, Quentin shares the very real emotions behind launching her own brand, House of Quentin Jones. From self-doubt and reinvention to ambition and instinct, it's a refreshingly candid conversation about evolving beyond the career that found you – and having the nerve to build the one you actually want. Quentin is a unique character and force who's straddled life both in-front of the lens as a model and then to behind, directing high profile campaigns for fashion, culture and luxury giants including Chanel, Adidas, Dior and Louis Vuitton – so, the move into founding her own brand wasn't an escape from a lacking career – it's an expansion of an already established one!Quentin reflects on, the power of luck and instinct guiding her trajectory, moving fluidly between disciplines, early success in filmmaking and photography, recognising the superpower of production and the questioning that led to a pivitol shift. This is an unfiltered conversation about risk, identity and the uncomfortable but powerful act of backing yourself. Buckle up! It's raw. It's real. And it's right on time!Quentin Jones is a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker whose work blends collage, surrealism, and expressive hand-made processes. After years creating imagery for global fashion houses and directing acclaimed film projects, she founded House of Quentin Jones — a design-driven world where art slips into everyday life. She studied Philosophy at Cambridge before completing an MA in Communication Design at Central Saint Martins. Canadian-born, London-raised, and now Brooklyn-based, Quentin brings a multifaceted, eclectic sensibility to everything she creates.Follow Quentin @quentin_jones / @house_of_quentin_jonesThoughts on the episode?

El fabricante alemán de neumáticos Continental es una de las primeras grandes empresas en alertar a los inversores sobre el riesgo del conflicto en Oriente Medio. Lo ha hecho su director ejecutivo Christian Kötz en la rueda de prensa anual celebrada en Hannover, donde ha avisado de que su pronóstico de mayor rentabilidad podría verse afectado por la guerra con Irán, lo que convierte al fabricante de neumáticos en una de las primeras grandes empresas en alertar a los inversores sobre el riesgo del conflicto. Adidas también ha publicado los resultados de 2025 y el mercado penaliza a la compañía tras unas previsiones operativas para este año y a medio plazo que han decepcionado. Y las disputas legales en EEUU por el glifosato han provocado que Bayer haya ampliado sus números rojos en 2025 hasta los 3.620 millones de euros. En clave macro, la tasa de paro de la eurozona baja una décima en enero, hasta el 6,1%, en comparación con diciembre y dos décimas frente a enero de 2025, cuando se situaba en el 6,3%. Entrevistaremos a Nuño Nogués, directro del "XI Informe Business Talents: la visión de los jóvenes". En la Tertulia de Cierre de Mercados debatiremos la actualidad con Javier Rodríguez, de AERI, y Pedro Fernández, profesor y abogado.

Happy National Get Over It Day! (Actually it's not get over it day and we totally messed this up). We kick off the episode by testing out our new "professional" green screen setup, avoiding "shrimp-backing" in our chairs. Erin recaps a rare date night at a microbrewery where Dan became best friends with random strangers.In fitness news, Erin gives an update on her Craig Conover 10K training—surviving a brutal, side-stitch-inducing 3-mile run—and her ongoing quest to do one pull up. She also shares her strategy of making a literal PowerPoint presentation to teach her reality TV hating friends about Southern Charm, and expresses her anxiety over an upcoming Adidas brand trip (fingers crossed for a "donut and hiking" group).Then, we dive into a massive Olympics and sports recap. We demand a scoring bonus for figure skater Amber Glenn after she won gold while on her period, debate ESPN's list of the most difficult sports (putting basketball over gymnastics is a crime). We also call out NBC for allegedly paying Snoop Dogg $500,000 a day, review the wildest Olympic drama (from the Mark Kennedy curling scandal to a biathlete confessing to infidelity on live TV), and praise Eileen Gu for flawlessly shutting down a dumb reporter's question. Plus, we discuss a corporate brand that blatantly copied Erin's unhinged purple tank top and yellow sweatband look for a TV commercial.Finally, we cover a wild story about a British Airways flight crew who had to be grounded after accidentally hallucinating on passenger-gifted THC gummy bears, and we call out Logan Paul's shady $16.5 million Pokémon card sale after shutting down the fractional NFT app that funded it. We wrap things up with a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" story about a girl who corralled dozens of strangers—including pilots and flight attendants—at an airport baggage claim to give her friend Morgan the ultimate welcome home.
Wat wordt deze week nieuws? Op maandag blikken we in De 7 altijd vooruit naar de week die komt, met een gast. Vanochtend is dat Carsten Brzeski, hoofdeconoom van ING Duitsland. "De Amerikaanse militaire operatie in Iran zal doorgaan tot onze doelstellingen zijn bereikt," zegt president Trump. De ayatollah is dood, maar valt zijn regime nu ook snel? Of zijn we vertrokken voor een langdurig conflict? En hoe reageren de financiële markten? Met Carsten hebben we het natuurlijk ook over Duitsland. Bondskanselier Merz vliegt straks naar Washington om met Trump te praten over zijn Plan B-tarieven. Komend weekend volgt een eerste test voor Merz' regering, met deelstaatverkiezingen. We blikken ook vooruit op een paar jaarrapporten, van Duitse kleppers als BASF, Adidas en Lufthansa, tot de Amerikaanse chipreus Broadcom. Kan die de 'AI-stress' bij beleggers een beetje wegnemen?

Nano Banana 2 is Google's best image model yet and it just dropped. It's cheaper, it's smarter, and it removed an Adidas logo from a banana in a tracksuit on the first try. But we have notes. The Door Brothers and Logan Paul made a 15-minute AI movie with Seedance 2.0 that looks like a direct-to-video action film…KIND OF. Meanwhile Seedance 2.0 is now live in CapCut, Anthropic is in a standoff with the Secretary of War over a $200M defense contract, and a sketchy music site called Sonato is generating perfect James Brown and Nirvana tracks from text prompts. Using that, Kevin vibe coded a custom AI Spotify mash-up that looks like an iPod. During the show. While apologizing. Plus we built a whole new AI For Humans website from scratch with Claude Code, the stock market crashed because of an AI memo, and Deep Seek V4 might drop any minute now. Totally normal week.

Diese Folge startet mit einer unbequemen Beobachtung – gerade für die unvermeidlichen "Trading-Coaches"
Friedrich Merz hat in Hangzhou das Robotik-Unternehmen Unitree besucht – ein Zentrum chinesischer KI-Entwicklung. Die Roboter dort können Treppen steigen, selbstständig in Hochhäuser vordringen und Brände bekämpfen – und zeigen, wie ernst China den Einsatz von Robotern als Antwort auf sinkende Geburtenraten nimmt.Chinesische Investitionsfonds haben 26 Milliarden Euro in diese Technologie gesteckt – Unitree ist eng mit Xi Jinpings Staatsapparat verbunden.[01:27]Siemens-CEO Roland Busch begleitet die Kanzlerdelegation und beschreibt die Herausforderung nüchtern: China ist kein billiger Zulieferer mehr, sondern ein hochinnovativer, extrem kostensensitiver Markt – und die USA liefern immer wieder neue Zollüberraschungen. Beide Märkte sind für Siemens unverzichtbar, De-Risking sei kein Länder-Thema, sondern ein Prinzip der Diversifizierung. „Entscheidend ist, dass auch wir in Deutschland unseren Beitrag liefern und partizipieren. Aber da gibt es noch einige Hausaufgaben zu machen. Vor allem müssen wir schneller werden."[06:04]Adidas-Chef Bjørn Gulden sieht China als einen seiner wichtigsten Märkte: Adidas wächst seit drei Jahren zweistellig, produziert lokal für den lokalen Markt – und damit weitgehend unabhängig von Währungsschwankungen. Die politischen Gespräche zwischen der deutschen Wirtschaftsdelegation und der chinesischen Seite erlebte er als „super, super offen. Man redet ohne Skript und wirklich offen miteinander.“[10:25]Bund und Länder haben sich auf ein neues Krankenhausreformanpassungsgesetz geeinigt – das Ergebnis verwässert die ursprüngliche Reform von Karl Lauterbach erheblich. Table-Gesundheitsexpertin Magdalena Latz fasst zusammen: „Es zeigt sich, dass einfach nur wahnsinnig große Angst vor den Wählern besteht. Das Grundproblem ist, dass nur in Wahlperioden gedacht wird."[13:39]Olaf Scholz bei Table Today Morgen, Samstag, spricht Table-Media-Herausgeber Sebastian Turner mit Altkanzler Olaf Scholz – über Migration, den Ukraine-Krieg, seine Verhandlungen mit Putin und das Ende der Ampel.Hier geht es zur Anmeldung für den Space.TableTable Briefings - For better informed decisions.Sie entscheiden besser, weil Sie besser informiert sind – das ist das Ziel von Table.Briefings.

The Athletic writer and author Liam Tharme joins the show to unpack the biggest shift in modern distance running: the rise of “super shoes.”Tharme's new book, Super Shoes: How Advanced Technology Revolutionized Running, traces how Nike's Vaporfly (and the carbon-plated, high-stack foam revolution that followed) helped trigger an avalanche of fast times and world records across the roads and track. In this conversation, Liam shares how his own running background fueled his curiosity, what he learned reporting the inside story of Breaking2, and why the technology boom has sparked debates around fairness, access, and sporting integrity.We dig into the science behind the gains, the key researchers who helped validate them, the brand arms race between Nike, Adidas, Puma, ASICS, Hoka, New Balance and On, and the tricky new reality super shoes introduce: when performance leaps can be explained by tech, it can get harder to interpret everything else we see on race day.In this episode, we cover:- How the Vaporfly changed running in 2016 and why the record books haven't looked the same since- The origins of carbon plates + advanced foams, and what the research actually says- Breaking2's behind-the-scenes decisions and the people who made it possible- The “shoe doping” debate, fairness, and how accessibility has evolved- The current footwear landscape and who's winning the innovation race now- The next frontier: personalization, super-responders, and what “the perfect shoe” could meanSuper Shoes is available now here.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavezGuest: Liam Tharme | @liamtharmeProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSUSATF: The USATF Indoor Track and Field Championships presented by Prevagen are back in New York City from February 28th to March 1st at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex in Staten Island.

Eli Hemming: From Olympic Triathlon to Trail Ultras, UTMB Goals, and the Joshua Tree TraverseRyan Maguire sits down with Eli Hemming, former elite professional triathlete turned trail runner, for a wide-ranging conversation about reinvention, endurance, and what drives an athlete when the Olympic dream doesn't pan out the way you planned.Eli grew up in triathlon literally from birth. His mom was a triathlete and swim coach, and he was racing by age seven. What started as something social and skill-based eventually evolved into elite draft-legal Olympic-distance racing on the international circuit. He came within reach of the Tokyo Olympics before a broken foot derailed his qualification, and when he looked ahead at another four-year grind toward Paris, with all the travel and time away from family it would require, he decided it wasn't worth it.What came next surprised even him. A race in Buena Vista, Colorado cracked open a new world, and trail running took hold fast. He found a coach in David Roche, started stacking results, and eventually ended up toeing the line against Roche himself at the Broken Arrow Skyrace, a moment that captures just how quickly his trajectory shifted.Ryan and Eli also get into his relationship with his wife Tabor, their shared Adidas sponsorship, and a Joshua Tree traverse FKT attempt the two are chasing together. They dig into what makes Joshua Tree such a singular and strange place to run, and why the project matters to both of them personally.On the racing front, Eli's 2026 calendar includes Black Canyon 100K and a return to Desert Rats 100K, where Ryan first spotted him, to earn his way into UTMB week races. UTMB itself is the long-term goal, even though he's only raced up to 100K so far. His best trail performance to date? OCC during UTMB week in Chamonix, and he lights up talking about the atmosphere there.The conversation also gets honest about the harder parts of moving up in distance, overheating issues, a fried hypothalamus affecting heat regulation, fueling and hydration mistakes, and how his training philosophy is evolving around high volume without necessarily high mileage, muscular endurance work, and staying adaptable.
Inside Wirtschaft - Der Podcast mit Manuel Koch | Börse und Wirtschaft im Blick
Bundeskanzler Merz reist vom 24. bis 27. Februar nach China. Mit dabei eine große Wirtschaftsdelegation mit vielen wichtigen CEOs von Adidas, Bayer, Henkel, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, der Commerzbank und vielen anderen Konzernen. Dahinter stecken natürlich viele Interessen - auch Rohstoffe spielen eine große Rolle. „Tendenziell bin ich ein Freund davon, dass man miteinander spricht statt beleidigte Leberwurst zu spielen. Gerade das Thema Rohstoffe ist ein enorm wichtiges Thema. Da hat China im letzten Jahr schon mal die Daumenschrauben gezeigt. Wir sind - das kann man nicht leugnen - in einem recht hohen Maße abhängig davon, dass wir aus China Rohstoffe wie seltene Erden importieren können. Deswegen ist diese Reise enorm wichtig", erklärt Michael Blumenroth im Rohstoff-Talk. Der Rohstoffanalyst der Deutschen Bank über den Gold- und Silberpreis nach dem großen Knall: „Wir hatten eine Beschleunigung Ende Januar gesehen, die völlig überzeichnet gewesen ist. Auch in Silber irrsinnig der Preis. Dann kam diese Korrektur. Die Problematik war gewesen, dass viele Händler nicht mit diesen hohen Preisen gerechnet hatten. Viele Optionen sind da in Schieflage geraten. Mittel- bis langfristig sehe ich für Gold Potenzial. Alles spricht weiterhin für den Goldpreis. Auf kurze Sicht könnten wir immer mal Rückschläge sehen. Wir haben unsere Prognose auf 6.000 Dollar je Unze bis Jahresende angehoben. Der Investment-Case für Gold ist da." Alle Details gibt es im Interview von Inside Wirtschaft-Chefredakteur Manuel Koch an der Frankfurter Börse und auf https://www.xetra-gold.com

Japan's Top Business Interviews Podcast By Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
"The trust part is very important." "Change was a dirty word." "Anything controversial was normally me." "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity." Paul Hardisty is a finance-trained executive (CPA) who began his career in Melbourne and became CFO of a group of fashion brands across Australia and New Zealand, including Davenport, with licensing and distribution experience across brands such as Calvin Klein and Carhartt. In 1999, he joined adidas, initially slated for Indonesia just as Jakarta's riots erupted, before ultimately leading adidas Indonesia for five years. He then spent six months in India addressing corruption issues, before moving to South Korea for more than six years, scaling the business significantly. Hardisty's long-held ambition was Japan, and he relocated with his family to lead adidas Japan, where he spent around a decade and helped drive major growth. His career arc reflects repeated adaptation across markets, cultures, and organisational scale, culminating in leading one of adidas's most sophisticated and strategically scrutinised country operations. Paul Hardisty's leadership story is a study in scale, trust, and the mechanics of change inside a complex, matrixed multinational. Having built a finance foundation in Australia and then taken on consecutive country leadership roles across Indonesia and South Korea, he arrived in Japan with a reputation for delivery and a clear-eyed sense that every market has its own "bucket of challenges". Japan's challenge was not drama; it was magnitude. The jump in organisational size, headcount, and global attention required him to rethink how a leader stays close to the business without drowning in it. Hardisty's early focus was listening: diagnosing issues, filling structural gaps, and building a strategy that could plug into global direction without losing local relevance. He frames trust as the non-negotiable foundation — not uniquely Japanese, but especially powerful in Japan when earned through consistency and "walking the talk". This trust, once established, becomes the lubricant for cross-functional cooperation and the antidote to silent compliance. He is candid about engagement measurement and how it can mislead headquarters. Rather than treating scores as a simplistic international comparison, he focused on patterns, feedback, and the real operational drivers behind sentiment — restructures, headcount freezes, and incentives. His most controversial move was transparency: explaining the scoring system, challenging extremely low scorers to reconsider fit, and even enabling anonymous external applications. The point was not punitive; it was cultural clarity — engagement matters, but so does the integrity of the team environment. Hardisty also leaned into pride as a motivational engine. In sport, brand affiliation and national moments (such as major tournaments) can transform "company" into "identity". He institutionalised that energy through internal competitions, event tickets, surprise guests, and subsidised sports clubs, making motivation tangible and social. Where his approach becomes especially instructive is in diversity and global mobility. He resisted the idea that Japan must be led only by Japanese, or that Japanese leaders must stay in Japan. By placing non-Japanese local hires throughout the organisation and building pathways for Japanese talent to take overseas roles (including shorter three-month rotations), he pushed the company beyond passive consensus into practical internationalisation — a form of organisational nemawashi performed through staffing architecture rather than meeting-room persuasion. On innovation, he names the core friction: uncertainty avoidance and the comfort of repeating proven routines. To counter that, he used incentives, anonymity, and then a structural breakthrough — a business development function reporting directly to him, acting as an internal project-management and strategy engine. It reduced "not my job" resistance, spread ownership, and accelerated decision flow in a ringi-sho world where approvals can slow momentum. Ultimately, Hardisty's Japan lesson is not that Japan is "impossible". It is that Japan rewards leaders who operationalise trust, make change safe to attempt, and build systems that carry strategy through the middle layers to the front line. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Hardisty sees Japan as different in flavour, not in degree. The distinguishing feature is the strength of trust and loyalty once credibility is earned. In a consensus environment shaped by nemawashi and ringi-sho processes, alignment is powerful, but it must be cultivated deliberately and communicated repeatedly at scale. Why do global executives struggle? He argues many leaders struggle because they over-index on stereotypes and get "brainwashed" by received wisdom — what cannot be done, what must be done, and why Japan is supposedly exceptional. That mindset can cause unnecessary caution, poor decisions, and a failure to see the "bucket load of good things" that make Japan workable and rewarding. Is Japan truly risk-averse? He frames the issue less as risk and more as uncertainty avoidance. People protect reputation by staying within proven patterns, which can look like risk aversion. His antidote is to reframe experimentation as responsible learning, supported by incentives, clear ownership, and leadership cover when outcomes are not perfect. What leadership style actually works? His style is direct, transparent, and human. He uses openness to build trust, shares personal context to reduce distance, and creates forums where information flows both ways. He is also willing to be "controversial" when cultural drift undermines performance or engagement. How can technology help? While he does not position Japan as a technology problem, his operating model maps well to decision intelligence: creating a central function that gathers intel, runs meetings, manages projects, and accelerates cross-functional execution. In modern terms, leaders can use analytics, scenario planning, and even digital twins of the business to test change before rollout, reducing perceived uncertainty and speeding consensus without bypassing it. Does language proficiency matter? He acknowledges language as a major early hurdle and treats capability-building as an investment. Translation support, English training, and mixed-nationality teams can slow meetings, but they also expand opportunity and shift mindsets. Language is not only communication; it is a gateway to global mobility and a catalyst for new thinking. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? Hardisty's core lesson is that repeating the same actions while expecting different results is organisational self-deception. In Japan, change requires systems, structure, and trust — and leaders must design the pathways that make change executable from the top to the shop floor.

In ancient astrology, eclipses were viewed as omens of the death or downfall of prominent people. In this episode, I want to go over some examples from recent history and current news that demonstrate that this ancient observation is still true to this day. I recorded this on February 19, 2026, right as the big news hit that Prince Andrew was just arrested in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein files, which happened only two days after a solar eclipse in Aquarius. We'll dive into what I define as "eclipse season," a roughly month-long period that starts about a week before the first eclipse and ends about a week after the second eclipse. During this time, it is incredibly common to see prominent or political figures suffering some sort of public downfall. We are going to walk through several recent examples of this, from the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein in 2019, to the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried's crypto company FTX, to the raid on Sean "Diddy" Combs' mansions. We will also look at how this applies to major historical events, including the deaths of Princess Diana and Pope John Paul I, as well as the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. But as we'll discuss, a downfall is not always permanent. Because an eclipse is a conjunction, it represents the closing of one cycle, but also the laying of the seeds or foundations for something completely new to grow. Since our current eclipse season is not over yet, I highly recommend paying attention to the new beginnings taking root in your own life right now, even if they do not seem that momentous yet.

Justin Bieber Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Hey gorgeous, it's Roxie Rush here, your AI gossip gal, and honey, let me tell you—being an AI is actually amazing for this job because I get to fact-check everything lightning fast and bring you only the juiciest, most verified tea without the nonsense. Now buckle up, because Justin Bieber has been absolutely everywhere lately, and I am living for it.So listen, just this past Sunday—we're talking February first—Justin absolutely showed up and showed out at the Grammy Awards, and I mean showed out literally. According to E-News and the LA Times, our boy strutted onto that stage wearing nothing but his boxers, socks, and a purple guitar slung across his bare chest. I cannot make this up. He performed a stripped-down, intimate rendition of his nominated track Yukon in front of the entire industry, and the crowd went absolutely feral. This was his first Grammy performance in four whole years, and what an entrance it was. The performance was so raw and vulnerable—arms crossed, eyes closed the whole time—it was like watching someone pour their entire soul out in their underwear, and somehow it totally worked.Now here's the thing that makes this moment even bigger biographically: Justin came back from a Justice World Tour cancellation in twenty-twenty-two due to serious health concerns, including Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. According to reports, he's been protecting his mental space and mostly staying away from live performances, so this Grammy moment signals something major is shifting. Speaking of which, he's about to headline Coachella in April for the first time ever—that's his first major US festival performance since twenty-twenty-two—and reportedly scored a deal worth over ten million dollars for that gig.On the business side, CNN's Fast Facts confirm that back in January twenty-twenty-three, investment company Hipgnosis purchased his entire music catalog for a staggering two hundred million dollars. That deal fundamentally changed his financial empire. As of now, multiple sources peg Justin's net worth somewhere between two hundred million and three hundred million dollars when you factor in his fashion ventures like Skylrk, his partnerships with massive brands like Adidas and Calvin Klein, and his thriving water technology company called Generosity.His album Swag dropped last July as a surprise, and it's completely different from his earlier pop sound—way more soulful and R and B infused. He came into the Grammys with four nominations including Album of the Year, and honestly, this whole moment feels like the beginning of his next chapter.Thank you so much for listening to Biography Flash, and please subscribe so you never miss another update on Justin Bieber and all your favorite celebrities.

If there's any sports bet we're taking right now, it's that the football field is becoming fashion's favorite runway. On this episode of Let's Get Dressed, I'm joined by Daniel-Yaw Miller, sports and fashion journalist, and author of the SportsVerse Substack, for a post-Super Bowl debrief on how fashion showed up all weekend long. From Bad Bunny's halftime performance in custom Zara and Adidas, to designer activations, athlete styling, and brands finding ways in without buying a single commercial, we talk through why sports have suddenly become such a valuable cultural space for fashion.We also get into why sports feel like a kind of reset for brands — a place to reach massive audiences, soften narratives, and feel culturally relevant without over-explaining themselves. What worked, what didn't, and why so many fashion brands seem more interested in game day than runway season.

Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KThe latest Notorious Mass Effect segment dives deep into the explosive legal battle between Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams. In a federal civil complaint filed on January 23, 2026, in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California, Chad Hugo (51), co-founder of The Neptunes and N.E.R.D., accuses Pharrell Williams (52) of withholding royalties and profits, breaching fiduciary duty, concealing financial records, and systematically denying contractual and ownership rights across their iconic ventures.Hugo claims Pharrell has controlled revenues for years from The Neptunes and N.E.R.D., leaving him without his rightful share of album sales, streaming royalties, touring income, merchandise deals, trademarks, and licensing. He alleges being owed $325,000–$575,000 specifically from the 2017 N.E.R.D. album No One Ever Really Dies, with total potential damages ranging from $750,000 to over $1 million in unpaid royalties. Hugo also asserts he contributed to nearly 50 studio sessions between 2019–2021—providing production, composition, and sound design—yet was denied publishing shares, record royalties, and proper attribution as Pharrell took full credit.The dispute highlights ongoing issues with transparency: since 2021, Hugo has requested monthly statements, full financial records, third-party royalty reports, and annual accounts, receiving only limited documents. Review of these shows minimal revenue allocated to him, inconsistent with The Neptunes' massive commercial success. Hugo claims a 50% ownership interest in related entities and points to N.E.R.D. Music LLC's operating agreement (founded around 2014 with Pharrell, Hugo, and Shay Haley), which mandates routine disclosures and defined income splits—allegedly violated as Pharrell entered deals, including partnerships like Adidas, without consultation or disclosure.Hugo seeks a judicial declaration of his rights and Pharrell's obligations, full accounting, recovery of withheld profits, and punitive damages for alleged willful, fraudulent, and malicious conduct. A jury trial is requested.Pharrell's response, via statements to outlets like Billboard and USA TODAY, calls the lawsuit "premature," noting a standard accounting review is underway. His team insists there may not even be a dispute and affirms that any owed money will be paid, expressing good faith and respect for their shared history.This marks the second major clash, following Hugo's 2024 suit over Pharrell's alleged attempt to secure sole control of The Neptunes trademark—still pending into 2026 and escalating their rift to no communication.As pioneers behind hits for Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, and more—inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2022—The Neptunes' legacy now faces this high-stakes conflict amid Pharrell's prominent 2026 year.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
