Podcasts about Beauty

Today on Everything Is The Best, I'm joined by the luminous Micaela Maclean — an aesthetician, energy worker, Human Design reader, and founder of the Beauty by Design method. Micaela blends the physical with the energetic, helping people align their outer appearance with their inner truth. A former medical aesthetician trained in Reiki and shadow work, she brings a deeply holistic approach to beauty, one rooted in energetic hygiene, cellular regeneration, and the power of knowing yourself.In this conversation, we talk about what beauty really means, how Human Design can guide your skincare and self-care, and why true radiance comes from energetic integrity, not perfection. Micaela also shares her personal journey from the world of traditional aesthetics to a more spiritual and intuitive practice — and how you can begin tuning into your own unique frequency.This is an episode for anyone curious about the intersection of healing, beauty, and self-understanding. Let's get into it.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Looking for makeup that lasts through sweat, humidity, or oily skin?

She also co-founded the trailblazing, inclusive brand Ruby & Millie and now runs her own high-performance cosmetics line, Ruby Hammer Beauty.In this pro makeup masterclass, Ruby breaks down exactly how to prep, prime, and set your makeup so it stays fresh — even through intense heat or post-gym sweat.

In this special July episode of Born in June, Raised in April: What Adoption Can Teach the World, we explore the beauty and complexity of belonging—and the deep yearning for the freedom to be fully ourselves. I'm joined by my dear friend and creative collaborator Johnny Wright as we share space and vision around a new offering we're bringing into the world—one created especially with Black and Brown youth in mind, particularly those growing up in White families and communities. This conversation is about more than programs or plans—it's about culture, care, and connection. It's about hair and history, family and identity, and the ways we can braid love, legacy, and liberation into how we show up for ourselves and for one another. As we prepare to introduce this work in community for the first time, we hope you'll join us in dreaming of a world where everyone has the freedom to belong—and to be.

Today, Dr. Lovely welcomes a conversation with Amitay Eshel, co-founder and CEO of Young Goose and host of the Biohacking Beauty podcast. Amitay, an entrepreneur in the biohacking and beauty industries, explains the science behind accelerated skin aging during perimenopause and menopause, focusing on how declining estrogen impacts essential skin components like collagen, elasticity, hyaluronic acid, and cellular autophagy.   Highlights from our chat: NAD+ is a foundational molecule for cellular repair and longevity, whose levels decline rapidly with age and are further reduced by falling estrogen, leaving skin "starved". Amitay focuses on an "upstream" method of anti aging with the skin, providing NAD+ precursors like NMN to replenish energy and repair functions, rather than just treating visible wrinkles. Spermadine is introduced as a "magical molecule" essential for triggering autophagy, the body's vital cellular recycling process that renews older cells and boosts collagen production. Women experience accelerated skin aging during perimenopause and menopause due to significant drops in estrogen, leading to rapid declines in collagen, elasticity, hyaluronic acid, and autophagy, contributing to a pro-inflammatory skin state. Young Goose integrates these NAD+ innovations and spermadine into its skincare range, offering a holistic approach to biological aging in the skin.

Have you or your kids ever wrestled with hard questions about faith? If so, you're not alone and you're definitely in the right place today. This week, I'm talking with Nicholas McDonald about his personal journey through disillusionment, deconstruction, and ultimately a deep renewal of his hope in Jesus. His honesty, wisdom, and compassion are such a gift to parents who are navigating this with their kids or experiencing it themselves.Here are four takeaways from our conversation:Nicholas shows how asking hard questions can actually deepen faith when approached in a safe, truth-filled environment.Community is key. He shares why isolation makes doubt heavier and how loving, honest relationships can carry us through it.Parents don't need to have all the answers. Walking with your child through their questions with empathy and humility is more powerful than a perfect explanation.Hope is always on the table even in the hardest seasons, God's love remains, and he invites us to keep wrestling, trusting, and returning.Nicholas is a pastor, writer, and speaker with a heart for helping people encounter Jesus through the truth of Scripture and the beauty of story. He is the author of The Light in Our Eyes: Rediscovering the Love, Beauty, and Freedom of Jesus in an Age of Disillusionment, and his teaching often bridges the gap between doubt and belief for a new generation of Christians.I know this conversation will encourage your heart and give you practical wisdom for those messy, holy moments of parenting. You don't have to be perfect—you just have to show up.(00:00) Introduction and Background(05:24) Disillusionment with the Church(10:46) Parenting and Faith Challenges(16:27) The Importance of Community(22:02) Hope for the Future of FaithConnect with NickX accountSubstackThe Light in Our Eyes bookResources MentionedChristian Parenting resourcesA Great Cloud of Witnesses Prayer JournalThe Christian Parenting Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

In our marriage and parenting, we're often too hard or too soft.When we're too hard, we are angry, frustrated, or overly controlling of what people do.This comes from our own discomfort of letting others do things differently.And, it leads to people distancing from us.When we feel that distance, we often go too soft. Too permissive. Too weak.And, our wives and kids kind of like that…But they don't respect us or feel safe with us.And we don't feel safe or respect ourselves.Thankfully, there is a “just right” place to be a parent and a husband.One where we have the love AND respect of others…And we love and respect ourselves.Learn about this in today's episode.Listen on the Strong Men Strong Marriages Podcast. https://strongmenstrongmarriages.buzzsprout.com/Watch on YouTube here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmxd3VzEvgoAnd to join us in growing our gardens and husbands and fathers with God, join us in Strong Men Strong Marriages.Dr. Mike P.S.

Annual cosmetic industry sales in the United States are about $89.5 billion dollars. That's nearly 90 billion, with a B, spent on makeup and personal care items including skincare, haircare, perfumes, toiletries, deodorants, and oral cosmetics.For perspective, of 148 nations tracked in 2019 by TheGlobalEconomy.com, 126 of them had annual national expenditures of less than 90 billion dollars, including Israel, Switzerland, and South Africa.We spend more in this country on lotions, potions, and creams to make ourselves look better, than the entire annual budget of most countries. That's even more eye-opening than the latest greatest mascara!Joshua 24:15 says, “Choose this day whom you will serve. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”For women and men both, the search for meaning can easily become entangled with the world's obsession with outer beauty and perfection in our faces and bodies.We seek to control and improve the impression others have of us with hairstyles and cosmetics, hours spent at the gym achieving the perfect body, and teeth whitening services that guarantee a gleaming smile. We may achieve worldly admiration by these vain pursuits, but temporary glamour won't bring us closer to God.1 Peter 3:3–4 says, “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.”Let's pray.Lord, make us beautiful in your sight. Remind us to follow you, rather than traipsing down the rabbit trails of fleeting outer beauty the world offers. Let us serve you first, and always. In Jesus' name, amen.  Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

This week we meet the Hollywood makeup artist Farah Bunch whose work has earned her multiple nominations in Daytime and Primetime TV  Awards and Hollywood Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist Guild Awards. Her work over several seasons on the hugely successful TV Comedy Will & Grace proved a pivotal moment in her career. Other notable credits include Dancing with the Stars, The Oscars, Sunset Beach, Entourage, Fuller House, and Makeup Department Head on Frazier on Paramount +.  Farah was born in 1975 in Toluca Lake, California where she and her brother Justin were raised in the long shadow of the Hollywood sign.  Her parents; the producer and six-time Emmy nominated film and television composer Velton Ray Bunch, and three-time Emmy nominated makeup artist Patricia (Patty) Bunch who were once the Disco Band known as Strut, introduced Farah to a life on set from an early age. She was five years old when she made her set debut. She also has a couple of acting credits to her name. But it was always going to be makeup that would be the foundation of her career from the moment at 18 when she graduated from the Joe Blasco Makeup School. Her mother's status in the industry and guidance on set steered her into multi-camera shoots, which is the world she loves most of all, despite having early ambitions to be a pop-singer with encouragement from her father. She remains inspired by her music and is currently writing a musical with her father. Farah recently obtained a license from the International College of Beauty in Esthetician and Cosmetology. She lives in Toluca Lake, California with her two cats. Farah's links: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1095568/https://www.instagram.com/farahbunch/@farahbunch Some of Farah's female artists:Jo BakerKathryn Bigelow Host: Chris StaffordProduced by Hollowell StudiosFollow @theaartpodcast on InstagramThe AART Podcast on YouTubeEmail: theaartpodcast@gmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wisp--4769409/support.

The gaps in women's healthcare can be addressed by the Gen Z listeners of this podcast! A professional polymath, Michal Morrison has spent her career bridging the past and present, business and impact. Holding degrees in History and English and a graduate degree in Theology, her academic foundation launched her into 10 years in archaeological and historical research across the Middle East and Mediterranean. She has worked for universities, environmental agencies, and a royal family on heritage protection projects and field research in Greece, Italy, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Ireland, and the Americas. A life-changing accident served as a catalyst for a significant career change, and in 2020 Michal founded her eponymous skincare company, Michal Morrison Inc., where she is proud to partner with global leaders from the fields of biotechnology, longevity, and beauty. Michal Morrison is an award-winning biomimetic skincare brand featuring a patented biotech breakthrough based in 25 years of research in regenerative medicine and stem cell science. As a survivor of a Traumatic Brain Injury, Michal believes that businesses should be catalysts for social change. She is dedicated to not only driving scientific innovation in the beauty industry, but to building a sustainably-minded brand that prioritizes accessibility. She launched her brand's social impact initiative, where they have partnered with One Mind, The Trevor Project, and the COPE Program in support of health equity within Indigenous communities. In episode 587 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Michal chose Texas A&M for her undergraduate experience, how her curiosity evolved into archaeological work, what are the unexpected lessons she learned from her time in international heritage work, how a Traumatic Brain Injury changed her career path, how to adapt with purpose, why she took the leap into biotech and beauty, what has been the most rewarding part of being a woman entrepreneur, how her company integrates purpose with profit, gaps in women's healthcare that Gen Z can address, and common fears or hurdles that young entrepreneurs face. Two books Michal recommended: "Raise Capital On Your Own Terms" and "Leap Frog". If they students are experiencing anxiety around life decisions, pick up "Don't Believe Everything You Think". It's been invaluable to Michal in learning how to have more control over her own occasional existential spirals and managing the 'what ifs' of life.

It can often feel as though blind and partially sighted people, and disabled people more generally, are excluded when it comes to fashion and beauty campaigns. But In Touch hears from women who are trying to switch up the narrative and showcase that blind and partially sighted people, and disabled people generally, are active participants and consumers of these industries. Bérénice Magistretti is a co-founder of a new platform 'Visible Voices', that showcases work from disabled voices and encourages disabled people to be more visible. Hazal Baybasin is the founder of Blind Beauty, a beauty brand providing products but with accessibility at its heart. In Touch also hears from ITV's director of accessibility, David Padmore about why and how the organisation is providing live audio description for the Women's Euros championship.Presenter: Peter White Producer: Beth Hemmings Production Coordinator: Liz Poole Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image and he is wearing a dark green jumper.

VIRGIN.BEAUTY.BITCH, are not words women choose. These words, historically, have been used to put and keep women in their place. V.B.B. Podcast acknowledges the harmful intent and history of these words: the Virgin as pure and obedient, a sexually repressed woman; Beauty being adored or objectified and disrespected, and the Bitch punished for expressing her autonomy and being herself. However, Christopher & Heather share how a conscious shift in perspective and attitude can show how these words can also hold tremendous potential for women's personal growth and the evolution of womanhood.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a closer look at Estée Lauder's turbulent turnaround, tracing the beauty giant's fall from pandemic favorite to contrarian play. After years of strong growth, the company was hit by an inventory pileup, the collapse of China's daigou shopping channel, and a broader slowdown in its most important market. In this episode, they explore whether the “Beauty Reimagined” strategy and the arrival of new CEO Stéphane de La Faverie can reignite growth through cost savings, better channel mix, and stronger appeal to younger consumers.

SummaryIn this episode of the Gird Up podcast, host Charlie Ungemach interviews Jacob Kieselhorst, a recent seminary graduate and new pastor. They delve into the complex topic of toxic masculinity, exploring its definitions, societal implications, and the biblical perspective on masculinity. Jacob shares insights from his thesis on the subject, discussing the historical evolution of gender roles and the impact of modern society on men's behavior. The conversation emphasizes the importance of active fatherhood and the need for dialogue in addressing the challenges faced by men and women today. In this conversation, Jacob K and Charlie Ungemach explore the profound impact of fatherhood on identity, the importance of listening to understand others' experiences, and the role of scripture in defining masculinity. They emphasize the necessity of knowing Christ personally and presenting the unconditional love of God to those who have experienced negative father figures. The discussion also delves into various perspectives on masculinity found in literature, highlighting the need for a balanced understanding of manhood informed by Christian teachings.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Gird Up Podcast05:59 Exploring Toxic Masculinity: The Thesis Behind the Discussion12:09 Defining Toxic Masculinity: Perspectives and Challenges21:13 The Other Side: Embracing Traditional Masculinity30:43 Masculinity: The Struggle Between Hyper-Masculinity and Vulnerability37:06 Historical Context: The Evolution of Gender Roles42:48 The Role of Pornography in Modern Relationships47:59 The Importance of Fathers in the Home50:05 The Cycle of Emotional Wounds52:51 Understanding the Roots of Anger56:50 The Role of Scripture in Defining Masculinity01:01:33 The Difference Between Kindness and Niceness01:06:10 Knowing Christ: A Personal Relationship01:11:33 The Beauty of God's Love Amidst Pain01:12:16 The Prodigal Son: A Father's Love01:13:45 God the Father: A Different Kind of Love01:14:26 Forgiveness and Redemption for Fathers01:14:56 Living Out the Christian Example01:16:23 The Impact of Living Faithfully01:17:19 Listening and Engaging in Conversations01:17:57 Sharing Personal Testimonies01:18:41 Evaluating Christian Literature01:20:40 Understanding Negative Perceptions of Christianity01:22:22 The Importance of Positive Male Figures01:24:29 The Role of Mentorship in Healing01:25:43 The Power of Presence in Relationships01:27:39 Restoring Order Through Godly Leadership01:29:05 The Need for Proper Masculine Role Models01:30:33 Presenting Unconditional Love in Christ01:31:16 Navigating Masculinity in Christian Literature01:33:21 The Importance of Understanding Different PerspectivesJacob's Links:https://www.menshealth.com/trending-news/a60258262/crossroads-church-man-camp/https://pastor.trinity-pres.nethttp://essays.wls.edu:8080/handle/123456789/7676Gird Up Links:https://youtube.com/@girdupministries4911?si=tbCa0SOiluVl8UFxhttps://www.instagram.com/girdup_be_a_man/https://www.girdupministries.com Hosted on Acast.

New figures show the beauty industry is growing four times faster than the wider economy. The fastest growth is in beauty services and non-invasive treatments. These ‘injectables' that freeze or fill your face are becoming more and more mainstream in the UK, even among women in their early 20s. Meanwhile, more celebrities than ever are admitting to going under the knife (or needle) and breaking the long-held taboo.

We’re going full high-low this week on Uncensored, from bougie beauty buys that scream “I’ve made it” to the chaotic joy of Aldi’s middle aisle. But first, we need to talk about how Charli XCX’s Brat Girl Summer might have killed the Clean Girl era. In Trending, we’re asking: Is the age of slick buns and minimalism over? From TikTok’s Cluttercore to Olsen Twin energy, we unpack the rise of the “messy aesthetic” and how it’s trickling down to our vanities and routines. Then, it’s a PWDKWN with a twist: We’re not talking about what you need, but what you’d buy if you were living your most delulu rich-girl fantasy. Think Dior eye patches, Hermès nail files, and a dermatologist on speed dial. And finally: Aldi Special Buys. We need to talk...

In this episode of The Skeptical Shaman podcast, host Rachel White (of TOTEM Readings), chats with Madia Smith of CYGNUS Human Design and Hoof + Feather Co all about her love for all things bird.Since ancient times, birds have been crucial spiritual vectors, offering divinatory insights in Ancient Greece and Rome (under the formal name "ornithomancy"), shamanic "medicine" as a totem animal, and inspiration for some of our most magical and transcendent works of art, like Swan Lake.Madia describes her hands-on work saving and caring for rescue waterfowl of all shapes and sizes, and shares some key tips and tricks to ensure that these magical birds aren't abandoned, abused or otherwise mistreated by sometimes well-meaning folks (spoiler alert: bread is NOT a food for ducks after all!).She also shares her love for Human Design, astrology, tapping and more, outlining her journey to off-the-grid wild woman AND diviner and coach of the highest order!This is one of those magical episodes that gives us a line of sight into a typically totally "alien" way of living: out in nature, surrounded by magical birds, and contemplating the long count cycles of human epochs!Rachel's LINKS:Rachel's Website: https://www.totemreadings.comTOTEM Readings Substack: https://totemrach.substack.comRachel's Other Links: https://linktr.ee/totemrachOur Sponsors' LINKS:The TOTEM Flower Essence Deck: https://a.co/d/gw16LsGThe TOTEM Tarot Deck: https://totemreadingsatx.etsy.com/listing/1492934343The TOTEM Flower Essences: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TotemReadingsATXTOTEM Spiritual Transformation Coaching: https://www.totemreadings.com/coachingTOTEM Business of Woo Mentoring: https://www.totemreadings.com/business-of-wooMadia's Links:Hoof + Feather COCYGNUS Human DesignSubstackPlease note: The views and opinions expressed on The Skeptical Shaman do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

From the mind of acclaimed reporter Gary Baum comes In Pursuit of Beauty (Blackstone, 2025), a striking debut novel that examines the nature of truth and allure in our modern world. What would you endure to fulfill your dreams? What would you do to have the perfect body? For Dr. Roya Delshad, the answers are anything and everything. A sought-after Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Roya is also the highest example of her craft. She's had every inch of her own body sculpted, one procedure at a time. All to escape a painful and lonely past. But when Roya gives the gift of beauty to those who can't afford the cost, the media labels her "the Robin Hood of Roxbury Drive," and she soon finds herself pleading her case from inside a prison cell. Hoping to resurrect her reputation and obscure a trail of unhappy clients, Roya tells her story with the help of the blithely handsome Wes Easton, a journalist and failed screenwriter who agrees to ghostwrite her memoir. In a twistingly tense pas de deux, Wes struggles to tell fact from fiction, and Roya seeks to explode his notions about aspiration and desire, sending their collaboration off the rails. A bold, stylish, and provocative thriller about surfaces and their hidden depths, In Pursuit of Beauty explores what it means to become exactly who you once yearned to be.

As U.S. retailers manage the impacts of increased tariffs, they have taken a number of approaches to avoid raising prices for customers. Our Head of Corporate Strategy Andrew Sheets and our Head of U.S. Consumer Retail and Credit Research Jenna Giannelli discuss whether they can continue to do so.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Head of Corporate Credit Research at Morgan Stanley.Jenna Giannelli: And I'm Jenna Giannelli, Head of U.S. Consumer and Retail Credit Research.Andrew Sheets: And today on the podcast, we're going to dig into one of the biggest conundrums in the market today. Where and when are tariffs going to show up in prices and margins? It's Friday, July 11th at 10am in New York. Jenna, it's great to catch up with you today because I think you can really bring some unique perspective into one of the biggest puzzles that we're facing in the market today. Even with all of these various pauses and delays, the U.S. has imposed historically large tariffs on imports. And we're seeing a rapid acceleration in the amount of money collected from those tariffs by U.S. customs. These are real hard dollars that importers – or somebody else – are paying. Yet we haven't seen these tariffs show up to a significant degree in official data on prices – with recent inflation data relatively modest. And overall stock and credit markets remain pretty strong and pretty resilient, suggesting less effect.So, are these tariffs just less impactful than expected, or is there something else going on here with timing and severity? And given your coverage of the consumer and retail sectors, which is really at the center of this tariff debate – what do you think is going on?Jenna Giannelli: So yes, this is a key question and one that is dominating a lot of our client conversations. At a high level, I'd point to a few things. First, there's a timing issue here. So, when tariffs were first announced, retailers were already sitting on three to four months worth of inventory, just due to natural industry lead times. And they were able to draw down on this product.This is mostly what they sold in 1Q and likely into 2Q, which is why you haven't seen much margin or pricing impact thus far. Companies – we also saw them start to stock up heavily on inventory before the tariffs and at the lower pause rate tariffs, which is the product you referenced that we're seeing coming in now. This is really going to help mitigate margin pressure in the second quarter that you still have this lower cost inventory flowing through. On top of this timing consideration, retailers – we've just seen utilizing a range of mitigation measures, right? So, whether it's canceled or pause shipments from China, a shifting production mix or sourcing exposure in the short run, particularly before the pause rate on China. And then really leaning into just whether it's product mix shifts, cost savings elsewhere in the PNL, and vendor negotiations, right? They're really leaning into everything in their toolbox that they can. Pricing too has been talked about as something that is an option, but the option of last resort. We have heard it will be utilized, but very tactically and very surgically, as we think about the back half of the year. When you put this all together, how much impact is it having? On average from retailers that we heard from in the first quarter, they thought they would be able to mitigate about half of the expected tariff headwind, which is actually a bit better than we were expecting. Finally, I'll just comment on your comment regarding market performance. While you're right in that the overall equity and credit markets have held up well, year-to-date, retail equities and credit have fared worse than their respective indices. What's interesting, actually, is that credit though has significantly outperformed retail equities, which is a relationship we think should converge or correct as we move throughout the balance of the year.Andrew Sheets: So, Jenna, retailers saw this coming. They've been pulling various levers to mitigate the impact. You mentioned kind of the last lever that they want to pull is prices, raising prices, which is the macro thing that we care about. The thing that would actually show up in inflation. How close are we though to kind of running out of other options for these guys? That is, the only thing left is they can start raising prices?Jenna Giannelli: So closer is what I would say. We're likely not going to see a huge impact in 2Q, more likely as we head into 3Q and more heavily into the all-important fourth quarter holiday season. This is really when those higher cost goods are going to be flowing through the PNL and retailers need to offset this as they've utilized a lot of their other mitigation strategies. They've moved what they could move. They've negotiated where they could, they've cut where they could cut. And again, as this last step, it will be to try and raise price.So, who's going to have the most and least success? In our universe, we think it's going to be more difficult to pass along price in some of the more historically deflationary categories like apparel and footwear. Outside of what is a really strong brand presence, which in our universe, historically hasn't been the case.Also, in some of the higher ticket or more durable goods categories like home goods, sporting goods, furniture, we think it'll be challenging as well here to pass along higher costs. Where it's going to be less of an issue is in our Staples universe, where what we'd put is less discretionary categories like Beauty, Personal Care, which is part of the reason why we've been cautious on retail, and neutral and consumer products when we think about sector allocation.Andrew Sheets: And when do you think this will show up? Is it a third quarter story? A fourth quarter story?Jenna Giannelli: I think this is going to really start to show up in the third quarter, and more heavily into the fourth quarter, the all-important holiday season.Andrew Sheets: Yeah, and I think that's what's really interesting about the impact of this backup to the macro. Again, returning to the big picture is I think one of the most important calls that Morgan Stanley economists have is that inflation, which has been coming down somewhat so far this year is going to pick back up in August and September and October. And because it's going to pick back up, the Federal Reserve is not going to cut interest rates anymore this year because of that inflation dynamic. So, this is a big debate in the market. Many investors disagree. But I think what you're talking about in terms of there are some very understandable reasons, maybe why prices haven't changed so far. But that those price hikes could be coming have real macroeconomic implications.So, you know, maybe though, something to just close on – is to bring this to the latest headlines. You know, we're now back it seems, in a market where every day we log onto our screens, and we see a new headline of some new tariff being announced or suggested towards countries. Where do you think those announcements, so far are relative to what retailers are expecting – kind of what you think is in guidance?Jenna Giannelli: Sure. So, look what we've seen of late; the recent tariff headlines are certainly higher or worse, I think, than what investors in management teams were expecting. For Vietnam, less so; I'd say it was more in line. But for most elsewhere, in Asia, particularly Southeast Asia, the rates that are set to go in effect on August 1st, as we now understand them, are higher or worse than management teams were expecting. Recall that while guidance did show up in many flavors in the first quarter, so whether withdrawn guidance or lowered guidance. For those that did factor in tariffs to their guide, most were factoring in either pause rate tariffs or tariff rates that were at least lower than what was proposed on Liberation Day, right? So, what's the punchline here? I think despite some of the revisions we've already seen, there are more to come. To put some numbers around this, if we look at our group of retail consumer cohort, credits, consensus expectations for calling for EBITDA in our universe to be down around 5 percent year-over-year. If we apply tariff rates as we know them today for a half-year headwind starting August 1st, this number should be down around 15 percent year-over-year on a gross basis…Andrew Sheets: So, three times as much.Jenna Giannelli: Pretty significant. Exactly. And so, while there might be mitigation efforts, there might be some pricing passed along, this is still a pretty significant delta between where consensus is right now and what we know tariff rates to be today – could imply for earnings in the second half.Andrew Sheets: Jenna, thanks for taking the time to talk.Jenna Giannelli: My pleasure. Thank you.Andrew Sheets: And thank you as always for your time. If you find Thoughts to the Market useful, let us know by leaving a review wherever you listen.
