What happens when a university mascot gets more than just a costume upgrade? In this episode of Talking Tactics, we unpack how a strategic mascot rebrand can fuel enrollment marketing, drive retail revenue, and build real campus tradition. From trademark governance to ESPN-level exposure, this isn't fluff — it's brand strategy with fur. If you think mascots are just for game day, think again. Guest Names:  Megan Nash Milligan, Brand Marketing Strategist, Loyola Marymount University  Stephanie Teresi, Associate Director, Trademarks, Licensing, and Promotional Assets, Loyola Marymount University Guest Socials:  Megan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/megan-nash-milligan/ Stephanie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/snwert/ Guest Bios: Megan Nash Milligan is the Brand Marketing Strategist at LMU, where she leads integrated marketing planning and cross-functional rollout of key brand initiatives. A proud LMU alum, she earned her M.A. in Educational Studies while competing as a beach volleyball student-athlete & leading the team to their first conference championship. Before returning to LMU, Megan managed marketing and operations in the real estate industry, overseeing full-scale campaigns and a company rebrand. Originally from Toronto, Megan now calls Los Angeles home—where she tries new food across the city, plays beach volleyball, and spends too much time with her two dogs! Steph Teresi runs LMU's trademark licensing game—protecting, promoting, and powering up the university brand across merch, apparel, and swag. As LMU's first full-time licensing lead, she's built policies and partnerships with the goal to boost LMU pride and make our gear easier to find (and love). Pre-LMU, Steph repped over 100 East Coast schools at Campus Stop and designed store displays at Anthropologie. A proud University of Delaware grad with a BFA in visual communications (go Blue Hens!), she now calls Culver City home—where she cheers on the Eagles, spoils two bernedoodles, and paints watercolor masterpieces at the kitchen table. - - - -Connect With Our Host:Safaniya Stevensonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/safaniyastevenson/ About The Enrollify Podcast Network:Talking Tactics is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

Wenige Big-Tech-Akteure besitzen viel Macht: Sie folgen Ideen, die die Demokratie gefährden, sagt die Technikphilosophin Anna Puzio. Die ideologischen Ansätze der Tech-Bosse und ihren politischen Einfluss erklärt sie in ihrem Vortrag. Anna Puzio ist Philosophin, Theologin und Germanistin und forscht interdisziplinär zu aktuellen Themen der Ethik und Anthropologie. An der Hochschule für Philosophie München hat sie zur Anthropologie des Transhumanismus promoviert . Heute arbeitet sie an der niederländischen Universität Twente im niederlandeweiten Esdit Research Programme. Esdit steht für Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies. Zusammen mit weiteren Forschenden in dem Bereich hat sie das Netzwerk für Theologie und KI gegründet. Ihren Vortrag "Als Elon Musk ins Weiße Haus ein- und wieder auszog – Technikideologien, Transhumanismus und Demokratie" hat sie am 12.

For many retail brands, growth today isn't just about innovation — it's about keeping pace with customers whose expectations are evolving in real time, led by younger generations who expect brands to reflect their values and show up with cultural relevance. In fact, recent research from MG2 found that the overwhelming majority of Gen Z shoppers say they shop with their values in mind. For founder-led brands entering new phases of growth, the challenge isn't just expansion — it's scaling without losing the soul that made customers care in the first place.So how does a founder-led, design-driven home brand expand its reach, embrace new channels and technologies, and engage younger consumers—while staying unmistakably true to its creative DNA?Welcome to Retail Refined. In the latest episode, host Melissa Gonzalez sits down with Mary Beth Sheridan, recently named President of Jonathan Adler, to explore what leading brand evolution looks like at a pivotal moment for the company. Sheridan discusses strengthening the core business, expanding wholesale and partnerships, activating the brand's interior design studio, and leveraging AI—while protecting the bold, witty, and joyful identity that defines Jonathan Adler.The conversation delves into…Balancing founder-led creativity with operational discipline to scale sustainably.Unlocking growth through wholesale expansion, strategic partnerships, and a robust design studio.Engaging Gen Z and Gen Alpha by fostering authenticity, community, and meaningful participation.Mary Beth Sheridan is a C-suite retail executive and global merchant with more than two decades of experience leading large-scale brand transformation, P&L management, and omni-channel growth across iconic retailers, including Anthropologie, Macy's, Lord & Taylor, and The Children's Place.

Au Liban, pays multiconfessionnel qui a subi la guerre entre 1975 et 1990 et le poids de la domination syrienne, l'Institut d'Études Islamo-Chrétiennes de l'USJ (Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth) fait figure d'un véritable laboratoire et d'une petite passerelle qui résiste tant bien que mal à l'instrumentalisation politique du religieux. Créé en 1977, en pleine guerre civile, à l'initiative de six amis, trois chrétiens et trois musulmans, cet institut avait pour but de faire connaître au plus grand nombre le christianisme et l'islam, avec l'idée que « plus on se connaît, moins on se fait la guerre ». Une passerelle indispensable aujourd'hui alors que les tensions se multiplient non seulement au Liban avec les frappes israéliennes malgré le cessez-le-feu en novembre 2024 avec le Hezbollah, mais aussi dans de nombreuses régions du monde. L'Institut a été rattaché à la Faculté des Sciences Religieuses de l'USJ, l'Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth, en 2000. Aujourd'hui, il est dirigé (depuis 2022) par l'anthropologue et théologienne Roula Talhouk et propose un cursus de Master en deux ans.  Un institut ouvert à tous, chrétiens, musulmans, agnostiques, non-croyants, du Liban et de l'étranger, pour comprendre qui est l'autre, basé sur un enseignement rigoureux en arabe et en français des sciences religieuses et des sciences sociales, et comprendre le fait religieux en vue de cultiver la paix, notamment au Liban, entre les différents groupes confessionnels.   Intervenantes : Roula Talhouk, anthropologue et théologienne, directrice de l'Institut d'Études Islamo-Chrétiennes à l'USJ, l'Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth au Liban Loubna Haïdar, docteur en Anthropologie religieuse et enseignante à l'Institut d'Études Islamo-Chrétiennes de l'Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth Rita Ayoub, docteur en Sciences religieuses, spécialiste en dialogue islamo-chrétien et en Communication Non Violente, enseignante à l'Institut d'Études Islamo-Chrétiennes de l'Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth Nada Rashwani, étudiante en Master de relations islamo-chrétiennes à l'Institut d'Études Islamo-Chrétiennes de l'Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth.

Radio Totchka, c'était la voix du pouvoir, dont la présence sonore s'imposait aux Bulgares dans leur espace privé, mais aussi dans leur espace public, puisque les programmes étaient diffusés dans la rue par des haut-parleurs, mais aussi à la mairie, à la poste, ou encore à l'usine ! Une radio dont la mémoire sonore réactive à la fois les bons et les mauvais souvenirs d'un monde communiste aujourd'hui disparu. Dans le premier épisode, nous avions suivi les tribulations de l'ethnologue Olivier Givre et du créateur sonore Raphaël Cordray à la recherche de Radio Totchka, petit haut-parleur en plastique importé d'URSS et placé dans les murs des habitations, dont les Bulgares ne pouvaient pas changer la station ! Entre information, musique et propagande, les programmes de Radio Totchka ont marqué plusieurs générations de Bulgares jusqu'à la fin des années 80, la chute du mur de Berlin, l'effondrement de l'Union soviétique et la fin du régime communiste dans leur pays devenu la Bulgarie, aujourd'hui intégrée à l'Europe et à la zone euro. Dans ce second épisode, nous retrouvons l'ethnologue Olivier Givre et le créateur sonore Raphaël Cordray en Bulgarie à la recherche des anciens animateurs de Radio Totchka, dans l'espoir de retrouver des archives radiophoniques non conservées par l'État. Comment étaient fabriqués les programmes de Radio Totchka, depuis les années 40 jusqu'au fameux « changement » du 9 novembre 1989, date de la chute du mur de Berlin et de l'effondrement du bloc communiste… Olivier Givre est maître de conférences en Anthropologie à l'Université Lumière Lyon 2 depuis 2007. Ses travaux concernent principalement l'Europe orientale et les Balkans, et portent sur trois thématiques : les processus patrimoniaux et mémoriels, les dynamiques frontalières et transfrontalières, les recompositions rituelles et religieuses.

Die ADI/TIP-Methode (Therapie der Integration der Person) ist ein therapeutischer Weg, der den ganzen Menschen in seinen zwei Dimensionen – der psychophysischen und der spirituellen – betrachtet. Sie fördert die Heilung individueller und kollektiver Traumata, indem sie das „gesunde Selbst“ wiederherstellt, das in jedem Menschen gegenwärtig ist. Die Methode wirkt direkt auf das Unbewusste und integriert Körper, Geist, Seele und Psyche. Diese Methode basiert auf der Anthropologie und dem Denken der Philosophin Edith Stein. Sie erkannte, dass die „große Krankheit unserer Zeit“ die innere Zerrissenheit des Menschen ist. Die Heilung, so Stein, liegt im Zugang zum vollen Menschsein und in der Bildung verwirklichter Menschen, die fähig sind, ihre innere Einheit wiederherzustellen – und dadurch zum Frieden und zur Erneuerung der Gesellschaft beizutragen. Diese Reflexion ist heute aktueller denn je – besonders angesichts von Konflikten wie dem Krieg in der Ukraine, wo ich sechs Mal gewesen bin. Dort zeigen sich nicht nur äußere Zerstörung, sondern auch ein innerer Zusammenbruch, verursacht durch Angst, Ideologien und Werteverlust. Durch die Arbeit mit der ADI/TIP-Methode konnte ich dort drei Dinge beobachten: 1.⁠ ⁠Die äußere Zerstörung kann das innere Trauma verstärken, das aufgearbeitet werden muss; 2.⁠ ⁠In uns existiert ein gesundes Selbst, das in diesem Prozess der Aufarbeitung aktiviert werden kann; 3.⁠ ⁠Auf dieser Grundlage ist auch ein äußerer Wiederaufbau möglich – im Rahmen des Möglichen. Selbst unter den unmenschlichsten Bedingungen kann der Mensch einen Funken von Sinn, innerer Freiheit und Hoffnung in sich bewahren. Nicht weil das Leiden gerecht wäre, sondern weil wir inmitten des Leidens entdecken können, wer wir wirklich sind.Vortrag von Valquiria Gonçalves de Oliveira, Belo Horizonte (Brasilien)im Festsaal im Erzbischöflichen Palais in Wien am 25.10.2025.

Radio Totchka ! J'imagine que tout comme moi, vous n'en avez jamais entendu parler… et pourtant, ce petit poste de radio a accompagné la vie quotidienne de millions de femmes, d'hommes et d'enfants qui ont grandi dans ce que l'on appelait à l'époque le bloc de l'Est. Que ce soit en Union Soviétique ou dans les pays communistes comme la Bulgarie située en Europe du sud-est, dans les Balkans.  À partir de 1947, la Bulgarie s'est massivement équipée en matériel de diffusion radiophonique, sous l'influence de l'Union Soviétique, c'est ainsi qu'apparait radiotočka, ce qui signifie littéralement point radio. Une radio que l'on ne pouvait pas éteindre et dont on ne pouvait pas changer la station. Radio Totchka était présente dans toutes les cuisines des habitations bulgares, ainsi que dans l'espace public, pour diffuser des émissions nationales et des programmes locaux, entre information et propagande. Dans ce premier épisode, nous partons en Bulgarie à la recherche de Radio Totchka avec pour guide l'ethnologue Olivier Givre et le créateur sonore Raphaël Cordray. Que reste-t-il de radiotočka ? Quelle était sa portée auprès des gens ? De quoi est faite la mémoire sonore du communisme en Bulgarie ? La Bulgarie a été occupée par l'Union soviétique à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, de 1944 à 1947, et devient République Populaire de Bulgarie dès 1946 avec une nouvelle constitution ratifiée fin 1947, calquée sur la constitution soviétique de 1936. Parti communiste unique et répression des opposants dominent la vie politique de la République Populaire de Bulgarie jusqu'à la chute du Mur de Berlin en 1989 suivi de l'effondrement de l'URSS en 1991… c'est alors que le pays change de nom et devient la Bulgarie, membre de l'Union européenne depuis 2007 et de la zone euro depuis 2026 ! Olivier Givre est maître de conférences en Anthropologie à l'Université Lumière Lyon 2 depuis 2007. Ses travaux concernent principalement l'Europe orientale et les Balkans, et portent sur trois thématiques : les processus patrimoniaux et mémoriels, les dynamiques frontalières et transfrontalières, les recompositions rituelles et religieuses.

Pour cette première MISE AU POINT de l'année 2026, j'ai le plaisir de donner la parole à la comédienne Constance Dollé. Après une maîtrise de philosophie, elle débute sa carrière sur les planches du théâtre de la Porte Saint Martin aux côtés de Marina Hands avant de poursuivre au théâtre de l'Atelier avec Elsa Zylberstein, Irène Jacob ou encore Camille Japy. Parallèlement, elle joue pour la télévision avec Richard Bohringer, et au cinéma sous la férule de Catherine Frot, Michel Boujenah et André Téchiné. On la connait notamment pour son rôle de résistante dans la série Un village français, ainsi que pour sa prestation remarquée dans Girls and Boys de Dennis Kelly, qui lui vaut le Molière Seule en scène en 2019.On la retrouve aujourd'hui dans Croire aux fauves, à l'affiche jusqu'au 12 avril à la Scala, à Paris. À travers cette adaptation du roman magistral de Nastassja Martin, Constance entremêle l'expérience de l'anthropologue à ses propres questionnements de comédienne pour offrir un spectacle immersif qui explore nos capacités de réconciliation, de reconstruction et de sublimation.

ABOUT JENNIFER:LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejenniferwalsh/ Websites:https://www.walkwithwalsh.comBio:For nearly 30 years, Jennifer has been at the forefront of transformative movements in beauty, retail, & biophilic design. As a consummate innovator, she has been dedicated to reimagining the human experience, whether through pioneering retail concepts, creating immersive outdoor experiences, or driving biophilic design solutions across industries.In the 1990s, Jennifer founded Beauty Bar, the first experiential omni-channel beauty brand in the U.S., introducing open-sell environments, curbside service, and men's skincare departments, concepts that reshaped how people shop for beauty. This trailblazing work integrated biophilic principles long before they became mainstream, earning recognition as an industry innovator. After selling Beauty Bar ultimately purchased by Amazon in 2011, she continued to build groundbreaking businesses and brands, always staying ahead of the curve. Another first was created in 2014 with Pride & Glory, a collegiate beauty brand. Today, she guides large and small scale biophilic design projects to create spaces that promote human flourishing. From Recharge Rooms to retail spaces, homes, schools, and urban landscapes, her work transforms environments into ecosystems of opportunity. All inspired from lived experiences.

Check then out on SHOPAssociation.org Today, EPISODE 84… I talk with Jennifer Walsh who for nearly 30 years, has been at the forefront of transformative movements in beauty, retail, & biophilic design. Jennifer is an innovator, and has been dedicated to reimagining the human experience, whether through pioneering retail concepts, creating immersive outdoor experiences, or driving biophilic design solutions across industries.Talking about biophilic design isn't new on the podcast, this time though we bolt on retailing, neuroscience and experience. This conversation is more introspective and looks at one's motivation to change to considering our environments and biophilic design from the point of view of sense of well-being and personal growth.We'll get there in a minute but... first a few thoughts…*                     *                          *                          *If you go back to the early episodes of the podcast, you'll come across Bill Browning. Bill and I connected while I was working the hospitality industry and focusing my efforts on the redesign of the Westin guestroom and lobby design strategy.Bill's world is Biophilic – both literally and philosophically, may be even existentially. He literally wrote the book on Biophilic Design's 14 principles, which now includes a 15th with the addition of ‘Awe,' and he has written a more recent publication with Katie Ryan called “Nature Inside,” it is a terrific handbook to implementing Biophilic design principles in built environments.I think a lot about the design of places where nature has been completely eliminated - think major downtown cities in any corner of the world.It is also not lost on me that when I sit working in my Home Office I have the extraordinarily good fortune to lookout on 2 1/2 acres of green space with a rolling hill down towards a creek that when it rains particularly hard overflows and becomes a small river in my backyard. But this point of view to my backyard and the way I feel sitting on my deck having a morning coffee is not just about the warm feeling of my cup in my hands but that there are key principles of biophilic design at play - namely refuge and prospect. Being exposed daily to these perspectives towards a forest at the back of my property I have an immediate body sense of calm, wonder and awe.I see sun rises to the left of my property and sun sets to the right. The re are Canada geese that, like clockwork, fly over my backyard every fall as they migrate South. I'm attuned to the textures and colors of the sky and the varying degrees of light intensity - bright and brilliant and dreary and diffused.All of these features of a natural world have the effect of putting me at ease.In the past few years, I've begun to connect that mind body experience, the somatic experience of natural places, with what I understand about neuroscience and our long evolutionary history of living the largest proportion of our human development among trees - in a real jungle versus the concrete ones that we have now built all around us.It's no surprise that the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku – forest bathing – is actually therapeutic. When we immerse ourselves in a forest atmosphere, using all five senses to connect with nature, we are promoting stress reduction and well-being. Slowing down, and taking mindful walks, appreciating sights, sounds, and smells is so good for us and yet many of us, especially those who are city dwellers, rush from place to place making sure to stay on the clock moving from one appointment to the next and filling our schedules every day with a mind-numbing number of things to check off on our To Do List Taking a moment to disconnect from technology calms the mind and body and has proven benefits like lower stress hormones and boosting immunity.The multi layered, highly textured and colored natural environments that we have evolved from, are often being replaced by environments of banality that actually have deep psychological effects when we are continually exposed to boring buildings.Bringing this intuitive sense, that natural environments support well-being, into the design of built environments, and intentionally creating places that reference biophilic principles, often proves very hard to do in a world where efficiency and productivity leading to increased profitability are what we are taught to drive towards as a reflection of success.Many times, adding plants to a space is an afterthought, like decoration, to make things look better - but they are not really being incorporated as a strategy for building environments to enhance well-being. Interestingly though, when people learn more about how to apply biophilic principles, beyond simply introducing plants as a nod to creating more nature-based experiences, they begin to also understand that their assumptions about adding additional cost may not be well founded. If you consider designing with nature in mind from the get-go, incorporating principles of biophilic design in the places we build as part of the strategy, then managing the costs is totally achievable.Anthropologie stores are a great example of introducing living green walls to their stores. Too be sure, these are not without expense both in their implementation and maintenance but the effect of walking up the grand staircase with this green wall rising from floor to ceiling across multiple levels feels wonderful. I still remember one of my first experiences in the Anthropologie store on Regent Street in London and have since sought to find similar experiences in other retail stores around the world. Design ideas like the green walls in Anthropologie stores is a conscious, intentional, move that enhances experience as well as environmental air quality. We simply feel better when we were places like this and if that turns into reduced absenteeism of associates or increased customer visits then… all the better. There's no question that being under a wash of fluorescent light standing on hard surfaces or sitting in cubicles is perhaps one of the worst ways to be productive and happy in our workplaces. I would imagine that sales associates in Anthropologie stores generally feel better than in big boxes with uniform high intensity lighting, relentless aisles of merchandise, hard surfaces and stale air with no natural sunlight.Full disclosure, when I look back over my career of designing retail places, very infrequently has the design team spent time considering what it would be like to be a sales associate in one of these places. Standing for hours on end in environments that are depleting leads to poor interactions between sales teams and customers. Seems kind of obvious but when people feel better in their workplaces, they're more likely to translate that to positive interactions with guests. More positive interactions with guests could naturally lead to larger basket size and increased number of return visits. All good if you're a retailerAnd yet, we seldom see retail places that fully embrace ideas that support well-being through the strategic introduction of biophilic design principles.New disciplines in the world of neuroscience like neuroaesthetics are beginning to be more widely accepted in the design community and there is a broader recognition about the positive effects of creating environments that apply principles of biophilia that enhance a sense of well-being. And while there is a growing trend of wider adoption of neuroaesthetics we need to keep on beating the drum about environments that are actually good for us.This is where the story leads to my guest Jennifer Walsh.In the 1990s, Jennifer founded Beauty Bar, the first experiential omni-channel beauty brand in the U.S., introducing open-sell environments, curbside service, and men's skincare departments - concepts that reshaped how people shop for beauty. Jennifer says that she just wanted people to feel good when they came into her store and she somehow intuitively knew that introducing elements of biophilia, though I'm not sure that we actually even had a name for it back then, into her store, would attract people, have them stay longer and return more often.Jennifer's integration of biophilic principles, long before they became mainstream, earned her recognition as an industry innovator. After Beauty Bar was ultimately purchased by Amazon in 2011, she continued to build groundbreaking businesses and brands, always staying ahead of the curve.Today, she guides large and small scale biophilic design projects to create spaces that promote human flourishing. In retail spaces, homes, schools, and urban landscapes, her work transforms environments into ecosystems of opportunity. All inspired from lived experiences. Jennifer helps organizations leverage the neuroscience of nature to enhance experiences, foster resilience, and build deeper connections within their organizations.ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites: https://www.davidkepron.com    (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645  (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron the Retail Studio Principal for the architecture and design firm Little (https://www.littleonline.com).

These days, ‘home' means more than just four walls. It's where people reset, gather, and express who they are—raising the bar for what they expect from the brands that help shape those spaces. Consumers are no longer just buying décor—they're investing in meaning, memory, and moments that last. Research continues to show that people are spending more time at home than they did pre-pandemic, elevating expectations around how spaces should feel, function, and inspire. The stakes are high: brands that understand the emotional ecosystem of home can build loyalty that outlasts any single trend.So, what does it take to design products and experiences that genuinely resonate? How can a brand deliver joy, nostalgia, and functionality with sustainable resonance?These questions are at the heart of this episode of Retail Refined, hosted by Melissa Gonzalez, featuring Katherine Finder, Chief Merchandising Officer of Anthropologie Home. Together, Gonzalez and Finder explore how Anthropologie Home creates meaningful moments through thoughtful design, intentional partnerships, and immersive experiences—while staying commercially grounded and true to the brand's DNA.Key takeaways…How Anthropologie Home approaches the idea of home as an emotional ecosystem, balancing aesthetics, function, and long-term relevance.Why partnerships—from Ruggable to New York City Ballet to Hotel Anna + Bel—can deepen, rather than dilute, brand identity.How designing for joy, ritual, and memory transforms seasonal collections into lasting, collectible moments.Katherine Finder is a seasoned retail executive and brand builder with decades of experience leading merchandising, product development, and brand strategy across apparel, home, and accessories. Currently Chief Merchandising Officer of Anthropologie Home, she is known for driving brand clarity, building emotionally resonant products, and growing businesses across startups, specialty retail, and large-scale enterprises—including leading a $7B proprietary brand portfolio at Kohl's and delivering company-leading results. Her career spans leadership roles at Kohl's, Pottery Barn, Gap, Lands' End, and Burt's Bees Baby, with a track record of portfolio transformation, cross-category expertise, and people-centered leadership.

PJ rants about the devastation he experiences living in an apartment block and coming home to a mountain of parcels and getting all excited only to discover none are for him.

Have you ever thought about starting a product-based business? Maybe you've wondered what it would take to get a product into stores, scale it into a household name, or if you should add products to your existing service-based business.Today I'm sitting down with Madison Page, who has helped brands go from a few thousand dollars a month on Etsy all the way to landing in major retailers like Anthropologie. Madi breaks down the real difference between having a small business versus building an actual brand, startup costs, manufacturing versus handmade, and why some product businesses scale infinitely while others plateau.We're diving into case studies like Coach (who 4x'd their stock price in two years), Liquid Death, and Scrub Daddy. Madi also shares why she's seen clients with 100,000 followers struggle to make $3,000 a month while others with 2,500 followers consistently pull in $10,000 to $15,000 monthly. The difference?

Today I'm joined by Evan Harrison CEO of Kiss The Ground.Regenerative Agriculture is a powerful growing movement, which is so much more than simply a way for farmers to farm. It is a reconnection for all of us to the food we are consuming and the soil beneath our feet.  It offers us a truly viable solution for both personal and planetary health, a more prosperous life for the farmers who feed us and steward the land and more nutrient dense foods available in our local communities, which is the foundation to improving our own health and wellbeing. There are 4 core principles to Regenerative agriculture but it doesn't have to be all or nothing, it is an ecosystem approach where we learn to listen, work with and respond to nature, it is not new, drawing on the practices from Indigenous people. It is already having an incredible impact on our health and environment. Evan reminds us it's important to meet people where they are and share information that will excite and inspire them. Kiss the Ground have an incredible diversity of resources to support consumers to find healthier food but also to share the stories of the farmers who are writing a new story in which both nature and humans can thrive. Learn more about  EvanEvan Harrison is the CEO of Kiss the Ground, the leading nonprofit promoting Regeneration and healthy soil as a viable solution for human and planetary wellness.

On today's episode, Kara welcomes Sarah Moret, Founder and CEO of Curie — the clean personal care brand on a mission to prove that “clean” can be powerful.Sarah's journey began with a personal frustration: she couldn't find a natural deodorant that actually worked. A marathon runner and wellness enthusiast, she set out to change that — investing $12,000 of her savings and spending more than a year perfecting a formula that delivered on both performance and purity. The result? Curie, a high-performance, aluminum-free deodorant that quickly grew from a small side hustle into an 8-figure business sold in over 4,500 stores nationwide, including Walmart and Anthropologie, and featured in locker rooms at Equinox and SoulCycle.Before founding Curie, Sarah worked in venture capital, where she invested in early-stage wellness startups — experience that gave her the insight and drive to build her own brand from the ground up. We talk about her journey from investor to entrepreneur, the lessons she's learned about formulating clean products that truly work, and how she's scaling Curie while staying true to her mission and values. From her Shark Tank deal with Barbara Corcoran and Mark Cuban to building a brand that's redefining the meaning of clean, this episode is full of lessons and inspiration for founders and consumers alike.

On this week's episode, the girls dive into the jaw dropping comments Michaela received at her husband's birthday dinner and let's just say, she (and Hunter) were absolutely stunned. They also relive the magic and mayhem of Halloween, unpack the Love is Blind reunion, and debate why biometric matchmaking might just be exactly what the dating scene in America needs. Plus, why Hunter is probably an anthropologist. (Lover of Anthropologie?) Follow us!

Welcome to Indulgence Gospel After Dark!We are Corinne Fay and Virginia Sole-Smith. These episodes are usually just for our Extra Butter membership tier — but today we're releasing this one to the whole list. So enjoy! (And if you love it, go paid so you don't miss the next one!) Episode 212 TranscriptCorinneToday is a family meeting episode. We're catching up on summer breaks, back to school, and a whole bunch of diet culture news stories that we've been wanting to discuss with you all.VirginiaWe're also remembering how to make a podcast, because we haven't recorded together in like six weeks. And it didn't start off great. But I think we're ready to go now.CorinneSomeone definitely said, “What day is it?”VirginiaIt's hard coming out of summer mode. I don't know if you feel that because you don't have kids, during back to school, but it is a culture shift.CorinneI don't think I feel the back to school thing as much, but I'm still in Maine, and it's actively fall. It's actively getting cold, and I'm just like, what is happening? I feel this pressure to do something, but I'm not sure what? Hibernate?Virginia“Should I buy a notebook? Should I be wearing fleece? I could go either way.” I don't know. It's weird. It is the start of fall. So we are moving into fall mindset. But like, don't rush me, you know? The dahlias bloom till first frost. That's my summer.CorinneSummer is so brief.VirginiaI'm having a lot of clothing feelings right now. I am not in a good place getting dressed, and it is for sure weather related, shoulder season-related. I'm in my annual conundrum of when do the Birkenstocks go away? When must our toes be covered for polite society? Am I showing arms? I just I don't even know how to get dressed. I hate all my clothes. Everything's terrible.CorinneI think this is part of what I'm feeling. I don't have enough warm clothes and I also don't want to buy another pair of sweatpants.VirginiaAnd you're traveling. So you're like, “I have warm clothes at home.” Didn't bring them because you didn't understand, even though you grew up in Maine and should remember that fall starts quite early there.CorinneI need to get it tattooed on my body. Bring a sweater, bring sweatpants.VirginiaWell, to be fair for this Maine trip, you were really focused on your sister's wedding. You had your nephew. You've had a lot going on.CorinneI was very focused on August, and really not thinking about September.VirginiaWill we even exist after? I mean, that's how it always is when you're gearing up for a big event, the post-event doesn't exist.And I don't know if you do the thing where you're like, well, I can deal with that after the big event. And then suddenly it's after the big event. You're like, well, now there's 47 things I need to deal with.CorinneI absolutely do that. Now I'm like, wait. How and when do I get back to New Mexico? Am I going back to New Mexico ever? In which case maybe I do need to buy sweatpants?VirginiaIt's so hard. Even without a wedding —I feel like all summer, because I have pretty skeleton childcare and I'm wanting to take time off, and it's a privilege that our job allows some flexibility like that, so when I get requests to, like, do a podcast, do a special thing. I'm like, “Talk to me in September. I can't do it this summer. Summer mode Virginia can't do anything extra!” And now I've just spent the week saying no to lots of things, because September me can't do it either. That was folly. I should have just said no the first time!That's one of those life lessons I'm always relearning that's really funny. If it's not an instant yes, it's a no. And I so often fall into the trap of it's not an instant yes, so let me kick that can down the curb a little bit, and then then I feel ruder because they come back and I'm like, no, I'm sorry. Actually, we were never going to do that.CorinneAs someone who's been on the other side of that where, like, I'll reach out to someone for the Style Questionnaire, and they'll be like, “Oh, can you ask me in two months?” And then when I reach out in two months, and they're like, “No.”VirginiaTotally. I'm on the other side of it all the time when we're booking podcast guests. So I'm completely aware of how shitty it feels. So I have a resolution. Summer Virginia just has to say no to things and not push it to Fall Virginia. Everyone hold me accountable next summer, because I'm so sorry to everybody I've said no to this week, but September is a real intense parenting month. There are just a lot of moving parts.I get 62 emails a day from the school. The middle school just announced back to school night will be tomorrow. They told us yesterday! One cool thing is, my older kid is in seventh grade now, so I no longer have to scramble for babysitters, which is a real achievement unlocked. Although she's going to realize at some point that she should increase her rates with me.CorinneOh, you pay her!VirginiaFor stuff where I'm going to be out of the house and need her to put her sister to bed. It's one thing, if I'm like, “I'm going to the store, you guys don't want to come.” Fine. You can doodle around at home. And it's not even really babysitting. She's going to ignore her the whole time. But I'm going to be out from 6 to 8pm tomorrow night. I need her to actually make sure her younger sibling gets in pajamas and brushes teeth and, moves towards bed. I'm not expecting them to be in bed when I get home, but I would like them to not be nowhere close.CorinneThat's really sweet.VirginiaPlus we have some big stuff in the works for both Burnt Toast and Big Undies, which we cannot discuss just yet. Yes, I am actively teasing it for you all.CorinneYou're going to bring that up now?! I feel like we should mention it at the end.VirginiaI think we can mention it whenever we feel like? I think they're probably like, “Why are they both doing reader surveys? What's going on?” And we can't say yet, but there's something going on, and it's also requiring a lot of our time and attention.CorinneWe're really busy. But I think it's going to be really good, and everyone's going to love it.VirginiaIn the meantime, though: What are we wearing? Real talk, what are we wearing to get through this weird it's not summer, it's not fall, it's some hybrid state. Are you still wearing open toed shoes? Sandals?CorinneNo, I'm not.VirginiaOkay. Should I stop, too?CorinneI mean, I'm only not because I'm cold. It depends on if you're cold. I also think now is kind of the perfect time for socks with sandals.VirginiaMost of my sandals are something between my toes style. CorinneOh, I was thinking, like, socks with Birkenstocks.VirginiaAh! I do have some of the two strap Birkenstocks, and I don't tend to wear them a lot in summer. Maybe I should experiment!CorinneI feel like, when you wear socks with the two strap Birkenstocks, they become really cozy.VirginiaI don't wear them a lot in summer because I don't have particularly wide feet, and they're a little wide on me. But the sock would solve for that! And they would be cozy… all right, I'm going to experiment with this, as part of my shoulder season style.CorinneI'm still figuring out my fall must haves, which is one of my favorite topics. Although I will say I feel like this year I've seen a lot of people posting like, “I don't want to hear about back to school, or I don't want to hear about fall fashion.”VirginiaI have terrible news for people about this podcast. CorinneI feel it's very light hearted. It could be literally anything like, who cares? We are entering fall, so…VirginiaTime is passing.CorinneI am getting cold. I do want to put on socks with my sandals and sweatshirts.VirginiaTrigger warning for anyone who is not available for a fall fashion conversation.CorinneMaybe by the time this comes out, people will be ready.I know this is like florals for spring, but I'm feeling for fall… brown pants.VirginiaWait, what? You're blowing my mind? You've been feeling brown for a little while. CorinneBrown has been ramping up. I'm wearing brown pants right now.VirginiaIs it one of your colors, as a true spring?CorinneWell, I do think there are definitely some camels. And I think brown is preferable to black. So I'm thinking brown pants instead of black pants.VirginiaOh, I don't even know what I'm thinking about pants. I'm thinking frustration with pants. I have my one pair of jeans that I reliably wear. I think I need to order another pair in case they stop making them. I'm at a scarcity mindset point with those Gap jeans. I mean, they aren't going to stop making them. They've had them for years, but I just feel like I need an insurance policy.CorinneDo you fit other Gap pants, or just the jeans?VirginiaI only buy that one pair of jeans. I mean, I generally try not to shop at the Gap because they do not have a plus size section.CorinneBut they do have some really cute stuff.VirginiaIt's gross though! Make it bigger.CorinneIf it fits you, maybe you should buy it.VirginiaCorinne is like, “Or counterpoint, don't take a stand.”CorinneI'm always sending links to my straight-size sister for stuff at the Gap that I think she should buy.VirginiaThey do have some really cute stuff, but it infuriates me that Old Navy can make plus sizes, and Gap cannot, and Banana Republic really cannot. It's just like, hello, class system, capitalism. It's so revolting.CorinneOh, my God. Do you know what else I'm feeling outraged about? I went thrift shopping here a couple weeks ago, and I found some vintage Land's End that was in sizes that they don't make anymore.VirginiaWow, that's rude.CorinneIt was a 4X! So they used to be way more 26/28 or 28/30. So they also, at some point, kind of cut back.VirginiaThey do, at least legitimately have a section called plus size, though.CorinneThey do, but it clearly used to be bigger.VirginiaNo, no, no. I'm not saying it's great. I am wearing my favorite joggers a lot, because I think I'm really resisting the shift back to hard pants.CorinneHow do you feel about trousers, like a pleated trouser kind of pant?VirginiaIs that comfortable for working from home? A pleated trouser?CorinneWell, I feel like they're comfortable because they're kind of baggy but narrower at the bottom, you know?VirginiaI do love a tapered ankle. I also unpaused my Nuuly. And I did get a blue corduroy pair of pants from them that it hasn't been quite cold enough to wear because shoulder seasons. Corduroy, to me is like a real like we are fully in cold weather fabric. And when it's 50 in the morning, but 75 by lunchtime, am I going to be hot in corduroys? I guess I should just start wearing them and see.CorinneAre they jeans style? VirginiaThey're slightly cropped so that's another reason to wear them now, while I can still have bare ankles. They're slightly cropped and slightly flared, and they're like a royal blue corduroy.They're Pilcro, which is an Anthropologie brand and I know we feel gross about Anthropologie. But when it comes to pants, I think Corinne is saying we can't have moral stances because pants are so hard to find. Other things, yes.CorinneIt's just hard.VirginiaI'm not excited about clothes right now. I want to feel more excited. Maybe I need to think about what my fall must haves are. Maybe I need to make a pin board or something.CorinneI think that's a good idea. Is there anything you're feeling excited about? I remember the last episode you were talking about those Imbodhi pants.VirginiaOh yeah. They've really become lounge around the house pants, and they're great, but they're very thin. Imbodhi feels like a brand you could not wear once it gets cold.Although, the jumpsuit I have from them in periwinkle—which does feel like a very summery color to me—I also got black. And over the summer it felt a little too black jumpsuit. It felt like too formal or something. But I've been enjoying it as a transition piece. I am still wearing it with sandals. I think it would look cute with maybe my Veja sneakers, though, and then layering over my denim shirt from Universal Standard, like open over it.I'm glad we're talking about this, because that's what I'm going to wear to back to school night tomorrow night, which is a high pressure dressing occasion.CorinneI can see that.VirginiaYou don't want to look like you tried too hard, but you also don't want to look like you came in pajamas. Lots of yoga moms, a lot of pressure. Okay, I'm going to wear that black jumpsuit. I'm glad we talked about that. That's been a good transition piece.CorinneYeah, okay, well, speaking of transitions, I want to ask you about something else. Are you familiar with the Bechdel Test?VirginiaYes.CorinneDon't you think we should have a Bechdel test for anti-fatness? And/or diets? Like, does this piece of culture have a fat character who's not the bad guy, or on a weight loss journey, or being bullied for their size?VirginiaOohhh… OK, so what would our terms be? They can't be the fat villain.CorinneWell, I feel like there's one list for anti fatness, and one would be a piece of culture or whatever that doesn't discuss dieting or weight loss. And I don't know if it should all be one under one Bechdel test umbrella, or if it should be two different tests.VirginiaI feel like it's related. Wait, I need to look up the actual Bechdel Test criteria.CorinneIt's like, does the movie have two female characters talking about something other than a man.VirginiaThe work must feature at least two women.They must talk to each other. And their conversation must be about something other than a man.I was just watching Your Friends and Neighbors, that new John Hamm show about super rich people stealing from each other, and it's very entertaining, but it fails the Bechdel test so dramatically. It's got Amanda Peet in it! She's so smart and funny, and all she does is talk about her ex husband and how much she loves him. And I'm just like, fail, fail, fail. Anyway, okay, I love this idea.CorinneSo it's like, does it have a fat character?VirginiaWait, I think it should have more than one fat character.CorinneThat bar is too high. I feel like we have to be able to name something that passes the test. And what are we calling the test? The Burnt Toast Test?VirginiaWe can workshop names in the comments.CorinneWe need a famous fat person to name it after, maybe.VirginiaWell, I guess Allison Bechdel named it after herself. So it could be the Fay test, because you did this. The Corinne Fay test.CorinneOh, God.So it has to have one fat character, they have to talk about something other than weight loss, and they can't be the villain.VirginiaI would like them not to be the sidekick, too. I think it's a central fat character.CorinneCan we name anything that passes?VirginiaShrill by Lindy West. And Too Much. Well, Lena Dunham doesn't totally pass the Bechdel Test, but she passes the fat test.CorinneSee, it gets very complicated. This is intersectionality!VirginiaWe strive for an intersectional world where the shows pass all the tests. This is such an interesting topic. I love this.CorinneI was also thinking about it because on my drive out, I read two of these Vera Stanhope mysteries. Have you read any of these?VirginiaI have not.CorinneThe main detective woman is fat, and I feel like it' mostly fine. Like, 90% of the time they're just talking about her, she's fat, and she's sloppy. She's a sloppy fat person. And then, like, occasionally, there'll be like, a sentence or two where I'm like, Ooh, I didn't like that.VirginiaIt's so deflating when you have something that's seeming good, and then it takes a turn on you real fast.CorinneSo would that pass the the fat Bechdel Test? Or whatever? Probably would.VirginiaBecause it's as good as we can get.CorinneShe's the main character and not talking about dieting, really.VirginiaYeah, wait, so where does it fall apart for you?CorinneI should have brought an example, but I feel like occasionally there will be narration about her, and it's suddenly like, “her body was disgusting,” you know? VirginiaOh God! I was thinking she maybe lumbered, or she sat heavily, or something. And you're like—CorinneYes. She sat heavily, that kind of thing. And I'm like, okay, sure.But occasionally there's just a twinge where I'm like, oh, you do kind of hate fat people.VirginiaI would then like that author to read Laura Lippman's work. Because Laura Lippman—regular Burnt Toasty! Hi, Laura!—has been doing such good work as a thin author to really work on her fat representation. And I just read Murder Takes a Vacation, which is one of Laura's most recent novels, and it's such a good read. Her protagonist, Mrs. Blossom, I believe was previously a side character in other novels who now has her own book. And the way she writes about body stuff in there is like… Laura's been doing the work. She's been really doing the work. It for sure, passes the Fay Fat Test.CorinneThat's awesome.VirginiaSo everyone check that out. And I would like Ann Cleeves to be reading Laura Lippman.Should we talk about airplanes? Are you in a safe space to talk about airplane feelings?CorinneSure. Yes.VirginiaCorinne was just quoted in The Washington Post, which is very exciting, alongside Tigress Osborne, friend of the show, Executive Director of NAAFA, about how Southwest Airlines is changing their passenger of size policy. Do you want to brief us on what's happening there?CorinneSo Southwest has had a policy in which a “customer of size,” meaning a person who doesn't fit between two plane arm rests, can book two seats and be refunded for the second seat. Or you could show up at the airport day of, and ask for two seats. And not have to pay up front and then be refunded.And in the past couple of months, this policy has somehow gotten really wobbly. I've heard all these anecdotal stories about people showing up at the airport and having Southwest tell them, “You're not going to be able to do this anymore.” Like, don't expect to show up and be able to book a second seat. You need to do it in advance. Blah, blah, blah.Now Southwest has come out and said they're changing the policy. They're also implementing assigned seating, which they didn't used to have. So going forward, you are going to have to book two seats in advance, and you will only be refunded if there are empty seats on the plane. Which, when are there ever empty seats?VirginiaThere are never empty seats on the plane? Never happens.I don't understand, because you needed two seats before, you still need two seats. So why does it matter whether there's an empty seat or not? My brain breaks trying to follow the logic.CorinneI think the logic says like they could have sold the second seat to someone else.VirginiaBut then they're not selling seats that work for people who are paying money to be there. Like, they're taking your money, but if you can't fit on the plane, then they just took your money. It's so shady,CorinneAnd people who don't need a whole seat don't pay less.VirginiaOver the age of two, your children do not get discounts for the fact that, they are using a third of a seat. You pay the same price for a child. CorinneYep. It's really sad, and it's making life harder and sadder for a lot of people.VirginiaI'm curious if another airline will step up on this. I think NAAFA has been doing a good job of making noise about this. I think people are putting pressure on them. It will be interesting if someone else realizes this is like a marketing opportunity.CorinneI think, they absolutely will not.VirginiaWell, I'm not naive enough to think someone would do it just because it's the right thing to do. But I'm hoping maybe one of Southwest's direct competitors would realize it's an opportunity.CorinneBut I think that Southwest previously was the that airline. I think they were using that to their advantage, and now I think they've just been like, “It's not worth it.” I think Alaska has the same policy where you can book two seats, and then if there is an empty seat, they'll refund it.VirginiaWell that's great because Alaska flies so many places, people need to go.CorinneWell, if you're in the if you're in the part of the country where I live, they do! But.VirginiaOh! That's good to know.CorinneI think they're more on a competition level with Southwest versus like United or something, right? I don't think United or Delta even has a customer of size policy.VirginiaThey've never cared.CorinneThere's no way to even book a second ticket for yourself, even if you want to just straight up pay for it.VirginiaIt leaves you the option of figuring out if you can afford business class to have a bigger seat. And that makes flying so much more expensive.CorinneRight? And it's also just like, does business class fit everyone? Probably not.VirginiaWell, we're mad about that, but I did, like seeing you in the Washington Post article saying smart things. So thank you. Thanks your advocacy.Let's see what else has been going on… The Guardian had this interesting piece, which I'm quoted in a little bit, by Andrea Javor. She's articulating something I've seen a few people starting to talk about, which is the experience of being on Ozempic and not losing weight from it.And I think this is an interesting kind of under the radar piece of the whole GLP1s discourse. Some folks are non-responders, whether because they stay on a lower dose by choice, and it improves their numbers, but they don't really lose weight, or some folks just don't really lose weight on it. Her piece really articulates her feelings of shame and failure that this thing that's supposed to be a silver bullet didn't work for her.CorinneWhen I started reading the piece, I was extremely confused, because the the author has diabetes, but type one diabetes, and these drugs don't help with type one diabetes. She eventually goes on it, just for weight loss. So what it didn't work for was weight loss, And I think it actually may have ended up helping with her, like A1C, and stuff. I agree that it does a good job of looking at the feelings that come along with that. And I do think, this does happen, and it's not being talked about as as much as it's happening probably.VirginiaIt feels important to highlight it in this moment where we have Serena Williams talking, about her husband's telehealth company and promoting her use of GLP1s. And we had a great chat on Substack chat about the whole Serena Williams of it all. So I won't rehash that whole discourse here. I also think that's a conversation where I want to hear from Black women. Chrissy King wrote an incredible piece. I also really appreciated the conversation that Sam Sanders, Zach Stafford and Saeed Jones had on Vibe Check about it. So, I don't need to get into Serena's personal choices. But it does mean, we have another huge, very admired celebrity pushing into the conversation again to say, “This is this magic trick. This is the thing I was always looking for. It finally worked for me” And we are all vulnerable to that messaging. So it's important to read stories like this one and understand oh, it really doesn't actually work for everybody. Setting aside whether we think people should be pursuing weight loss, this isn't necessarily going to be guaranteed, amazing results. CorinneAnother interesting article that I thought maybe would want to mention is the the one in The Cut about ARFID.VirginiaThis was a great cover story in New York Magazine. The headline is The Monster at the Dinner Table, and it's basically just encapsulating that ARFID has really been on the rise in recent years, and I think a lot of that is just because now we know what it is and we can diagnose it.But it did include a pretty interesting discussion of what causes kids to lose the instinct to eat, what things get in the way of it. Like, it can be trauma, it can be a feature of autism. It can be a choking experience, all sorts of different things.CorinneARFID is one of those conditions that I feel like I barely knew about before TikTok, and then I've just seen so much stuff about it on Tiktok.VirginiaIt only became a diagnosis in 2013, so it's very, very new. My kiddo would have been diagnosed with it, if it was more fully in the vernacular at that point, but it wasn't. So we were just told it was a “pediatric feeding disorder” type of thing. But it was very vague.I think it's great it's getting more attention. Both for kids and adults. It can be such a source of anxiety and shame for parents. It is so much work. It is very difficult, and it's harder than it should be because of diet culture, because of all the pressure put on parents to feed our kids certain ways. The backlash against ultraprocessed foods is really not helping anyone navigate ARFID. I can't underscore that enough, really not helping. No one needs to feel shame about your kid living on chicken nuggets or frozen burritos or whatever it is.CorinneThe amount of stigma against people who eat certain ways is nuts.VirginiaIt's nuts and it's sad.CorinneYeah it's socially isolating.VirginiaIt is harder to share, right? It's very socially isolating, and it's sad for the people around them. Anytime you're navigating eating together with someone with food restrictions, it does create barriers and extra work and more you have to navigate.But if we didn't have that layer of stigma over it, where it's like, it's probably the mom's fault, if only they like more whole foods at home, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like, if we didn't have all of that, you could focus just on the logistics are hard enough. You don't need the shame.So many sad topics. Airlines are terrible. Virginia doesn't have any clothes to wear. ARFID is sad. Do we have anything to bring it up?CorinneWell, our exciting news? VirginiaOh, right! We are working on some very fun things.It is exciting to think about new directions that Burnt Toast and Big Undies are going in. So stay tuned. Don't worry, it's not a reality TV show.ButterVirginiaOkay, my Butter is adjacent to the wardrobe frustration conversation. Which is: I have started cutting the collars off a lot of my shirts.To back up: Last month, I'm on vacation in Cape Cod with my sister, and she comes down looking extremely cute. She's wearing a graphic tee tucked into a long maxi skirt. And I was like, “This whole thing is delightful. What's happening here?” And she was like, “Well, this shirt was actually too small for me, but I realized if I just cut the collar off it, it opened up the neck enough that then the shirt, the whole shirt fit better.” And she could still wear this cute shirt. And she said she got the idea from watching Somebody Somewhere, because Bridgett Everett cuts the collars off all her shirts.CorinneOh yes! That was my signature look when I was 18. A Hanes T-shirt with the collar cut off.VirginiaI'm dressing like 18-year-old Corinne, and I'm here for it! But I've realized, frequently a place that something doesn't fit me is my neck. I've talked about feelings about chins and necks. I have many complicated feelings about chins and necks. This is one place where my fatness sits. So the shirt might otherwise fit okay, but it doesn't fit my neck, and then it feels tight and it's a miserable feeling. So at the end of our trip, I wanted to buy a Cape Cod sweatshirt, because there were some really cute sweatshirts. But they were not size inclusive. So I was like, can I make this extra large work? And it was a little small, but I cut the collar off, and now it's okay.And then I did it with my old Harris Walz T-shirt from the election. It was a cute stripe. I just really liked the stripe. And I was like, Oh, I could still wear this if I get the collar off it. And a couple other things. I've just been, like, cutting collars off shirts that are uncomfortable. I'm into it!CorinneI think that's a great Butter. I'm into any kind of clothes modification that will make you wear stuff that you wouldn't otherwise wear.VirginiaIt was a good solution for a couple of things in my closet that I did like, but I was not reaching for. And now I'll use them again. And the key I figured out, because I experimented with a couple ways to cut it, is really just cut right along the seam of the sewed on collar. You might think that's going to not open it up enough, but it will stretch once you start wearing it. you could always cut more if you needed to, but that seems to have done it for me.CorinneOkay, well, I want to recommend a recipe, and I feel like I possibly mentioned this before. I'm staying with my mom, and we've been making this recipe from the New York Times called stuffed zucchini, and it's a really good recipe for if you have a surplus of zucchini, which a lot of people do this time of year. You kind of scoop out the middle of a zucchini and then mix some of that together with, like, sausage, tomatoes, basil, and then put it back in the zucchini and bake it with, like, some crispy breadcrumbs, and it's so good. I can literally, eat a whole zucchini in one sitting. Highly recommend.VirginiaThat sounds amazing. All right. Well, that makes me a little more excited about the season.CorinneYeah, it is a very good time of year for eating. We should have talked more about food maybe?VirginiaThat is a good point. Our tomatoes in the garden are going gangbusters. I've made some great sauces. I'm having a lot of cheese and tomato sandwiches. toasted and not toasted. Delightful.Well, this was a good family meeting catch up. I think we've covered a lot of ground. I'm excited to hear what folks are feeling about their dressing issues, and airlines, all the stuff we got into today.The Burnt Toast Podcast is produced and hosted by Virginia Sole-Smith (follow me on Instagram) and Corinne Fay, who runs @SellTradePlus, and Big Undies—subscribe for 20% off!The Burnt Toast logo is by Deanna Lowe.Our theme music is by Farideh.Tommy Harron is our audio engineer.Thanks for listening and for supporting anti-diet, body liberation journalism!.

In this episode of The Marketing Rapport, host Tim Finnigan sits down with Ian Dewar, Senior Director of Global Strategy at Anthropologie. Together, they explore how brands can move beyond simple transactions to create loyalty that feels personal and relevant. Ian shares how his team uses both transactional and non-transactional data to better understand customer motivation, curating collections and experiences that match real-life needs instead of just pushing more products. Ian explains how Anthropologie builds clean, unified customer data and blends it with behavioral insights—both online and in stores. He describes their approach to personalization, which considers factors like regional trends, product use, and even feedback collected through surveys and focus groups. This helps Anthropologie deliver recommendations and perks that are timely, useful, and authentic. The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed are those of the speaker and do not necessarily represent the views, thoughts, and opinions of Verisk Marketing Solutions or Verisk Analytics.

Hey, friend. I'm pulling an amazing episode from the archives with over 400 episodes here on the Proof to Product podcast. There is a gold mine of information for you to help you grow your business, and, frankly, it can be hard to take it all in. Today's episode is a look back at guest Sally Diguette, a home and lifestyle buyer with Anthropologie. Pitching large retailers is a completely different process and timeline than working with independent retailers. Having worked with thousands of brands, I know that it can feel like an intimidating process to pitch your work to these key accounts.  Through an unpredictable path, Sally landed in the retail industry and has over 14 years of experience in buying, product development, and sourcing.  Sally is an innovative merchant and consultant. She centers her work around relationship building and creative strategy, combining unique product development and sourcing from national brands across a variety of categories. Her passion lies in working with emerging brands in an incubator capacity to build fresh product offerings, solid organizational systems, and a strong team structure. On this replay episode, Sally shares about the buying process and schedule for Anthropologie. We talk specifically about the timelines that she's working with for both exclusive products as well as ready made products. And she offers advice for how to get your products in front of key account buyers. Today's episode is sponsored by our Unlock Buyer Secrets Interview series. To make a strong first impression with wholesale buyers, we need to do a few things really well: We need to make it easy for stores to purchase from us We need to have clear pricing and terms & conditions We need to clearly communicate and add value at each touchpoint We need to focus on building strong relationships with our customers.
