Portland's police chief literally cried on camera while confirming that federal agents were right—the people they detained are Tren de Aragua gang members. One's a convicted criminal, the other runs a prostitution ring online, and together they tried to ram a truck into CBP officers. Yet instead of backing law enforcement, we get tears and politicians calling ICE "state-sponsored terrorism."Meanwhile, a Portland cop gets reassigned for stating the obvious truth to unhinged protesters: "Sometimes criminals get shot when they break the law." He's punished for reality while city leaders rally behind violent Venezuelan gang members with final deportation orders. One cop speaks common sense, loses his assignment. Career criminals assault federal agents, become victims.When did defending actual criminals over law enforcement become the default? Why are mayors crying over gang members instead of supporting officers doing their jobs? Is anyone else tired of backwards priorities that put taxpayers and communities last?

The department store chain Debenhams was founded in 1778 but went bust in 2020, leading to thousands of job losses and the disappearance of one of Britain's best-known high street names. But now it is back, reimagined for the digital age. In this episode of the Business Leader Podcast, Debenhams chief executive Dan Finley tells the story behind this turnaround. Dan Finley was appointed the boss of Debenhams in 2022 after the brand was bought by Boohoo. Now he is chief executive of the whole Boohoo group, which has been renamed Debenhams. That has brought its own unique challenges... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Things turned upside down for many businesses earlier this year. We're looking at how two companies made changes to survive. So, OK, Richard, what happened? In March 2020, companies in the UK, they were told that they weren't allowed to offer over-the-counter services.今年年初，许多企业的经营状况被彻底颠覆。我们今天要看看两家公司是如何调整策略以求生存的。好的，Richard，当时发生了什么？2020年3月，英国政府宣布企业不得提供柜台服务。So obviously that would affect many high-street shops. Yes, indeed, all high-street shops and including those who sell fish and chips. So the Chesterfield Group in the UK owns 40 fish and chip restaurants, serving about 50,000 people every week.显然，这一规定会影响许多街边商店。没错，所有街头商铺都受到了影响，其中包括炸鱼薯条店。英国的切斯特菲尔德集团拥有40家炸鱼薯条餐厅，每周为大约五万人提供餐饮服务。However, of course, the coronavirus lockdown forced the restaurants to close for all walk-in customers. So therefore no customers at all then? They lost all their customers in one fail swoop. Right.然而，由于新冠封锁政策，这些餐厅不得不关闭所有堂食服务。那么，这是不是意味着他们一个顾客都没有了？没错，他们在一夜之间失去了所有顾客。So what the CEO, James Lipscomb, did was he realised the company was running out of cash fast, so he had to do something really quickly. And within two weeks, he created a new way for the company to continue in business. OK, so what did he do? He started a click and collect system.公司的首席执行官詹姆斯·利普斯康意识到公司资金正在迅速枯竭，因此他必须立刻采取行动。两周之内，他为公司创造了一种全新的经营方式。好的，他做了什么？他启动了“线上点餐、到店取餐”的系统。So they designed an app and they started taking food orders online, cashless payments only. Right. So customers go on the app and they turn up and they just tap their card at the store so there's no interaction with staff whatsoever.他们开发了一个应用程序，通过线上接收点餐，并只接受非现金支付。对的，顾客只需在应用上下单，然后到店刷卡取餐，全程无需与员工接触。So click is on the app and collect is at the shop. Exactly. Right.“Click”代表线上点单，“Collect”就是到店取餐。没错，完全正确。And actually they also introduced home delivery as well on a similar sort of basis. OK. So two new systems.实际上，他们还推出了类似模式的外送服务。好的，也就是说他们建立了两个新系统。Did that work? Yes. He kept 70% of the staff and they worked throughout the lockdown and this very fast decision prevented the business from closing down.那这样做有效果吗？非常有效。他保留了70%的员工，并让他们在封锁期间继续工作。这一快速决策挽救了公司的命运，使其避免倒闭。Well, another company... another example of a company adapting to the new situation, Richard, is Boohoo. You won't have heard of them. I certainly haven't. Who are they? Well, they're a fashion brand but they already sell online.好吧，另一家公司——也就是另一家成功适应新形势的例子，Richard，是Boohoo。你可能没听过这个名字。确实没有。他们是谁？这是一家时尚品牌公司，但他们本来就是做线上销售的。OK, so how were they affected then? Well, the problem with them was that they sold a lot of clothes to women who wanted to buy fancy dresses and shoes for the weekend. It's a quick turnover, right? So come Friday or Saturday, big night out, big sales. But of course no one was going out so no one was buying these dresses.那他们又受到了怎样的影响呢？问题在于，他们的客户主要是那些准备在周末外出、想买漂亮裙子和鞋子的女性。这类商品周转速度快——到了周五、周六夜晚，销量通常很高。但封锁期间没人外出，自然没人再买这些裙子了。And no one was ordering anything online at all. OK, so what did they do then? Well, again, two things. First of all, the company had all this stock that no one was buying so they advertised and everything must go flash sale.而且那时几乎没人上网购物。那么他们怎么办？他们也采取了两步措施。首先，公司仓库里堆满了没人买的库存，于是他们推出了“清仓特卖”活动。70% of all stock and 50% of 500 dresses. Wow. And then they replaced the range.所有库存商品七折出售，五百款连衣裙五折优惠。哇！然后他们更新了产品线。They introduced a whole new range of clothes. Lounge wear. Ah, stairs home wear then. Clothes for the sofa. Exactly. Fancy pyjamas to wear all day and attractive leggings and tops.他们推出了全新的服装系列——家居服。啊，就是在家穿的衣服。对，沙发服,没错，是那种可以整天穿的漂亮睡衣，还有舒适又时尚的紧身裤和上衣。Still attractive clothing but for watching TV instead. So their strategy was to clear out the old stock... Yep. ...and bring in a totally new line at speed. Yep.依然是好看的衣服，但这次是为了在家看电视时穿的。所以他们的策略是——先清掉旧库存……对……再快速推出全新的系列产品。没错。So did that work? Absolutely. A few weeks later the company announced that it had not only survived the first few weeks of the crisis but increased its April sales against the previous year.那他们的策略奏效了吗？完全奏效。几周后，公司宣布他们不仅成功度过危机初期的几周，而且四月的销售额甚至超过了去年同期。So two companies that adapted. One with how they sold their product and the other with new products. But they both relied on being online.这就是两家成功适应变化的公司——一家改变了销售方式，另一家则更新了产品类型。但它们有一个共同点：都依靠线上平台。Yes, so that simply means e-commerce is definitely the way to go.没错，这充分说明了电子商务才是未来的发展方向。

We start with commodities expert Alex Hamer, the author of this week's Big Read on nuclear power. Tech giants' need for the contentious energy source has revived plants around the globe. Alex unpacks what this means for the industry so far, and the prospects for the uranium market and small modular reactors (SMRs). Next up, the world's most valuable company, Nvidia (NVDA). New York-based reporter Arthur Sants discusses the company's latest results, the uncertainty regarding sales to China, as well as Intel's two recent big investors: the US government and SoftBank. Alex Newman also weighs in on the subject. Mark Robinson covers Boohoo's (DEBS) recent, delayed results, which showed some overhang from its old business. It's move to be a third-party seller, similar to that of M&S (MKS) and Next (NXT) could be fruitful, but the competition is rife. Listen to find out more.

Boo Hoo

The end of the cruel Peace & the start of the desperate War.Based on ‘One In Ten' by FinalStand, adapted into 17 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels.A frightened Mother Mouse will devour her young; similarly, a frightened culture will devour its future.Roni was still working away while the rest of us were in the man-cave once more. Flame seemed happy taking long pulls on the Wild Cherry and smacking her lips. I wasn't surprised she wasn't worrying about Silent. Her wounded comrade was a reliable pair of guns guarding her back and nothing more. Emotional bonds were contrary to her psychopathic nature.Jethro had been sitting on his 'throne' for fifteen minutes, deep in thought."I guess it is about time we got those guns," he announced as he stood up. His words captured everyone's attention yet he didn't appear to care. He started walking from the room and the rest of us followed along. The need for guns had brought us here in the first place.His path led us into his walk-in pantry. One wall of shelves rolled out and to the sides on seamless wheels. Beneath that spot was a steel door, a tad over one meter wide and three meters long. It must have been spring-loaded because once Jethro yanked on the hole that only one finger could fit into, the portal swung open and back.Stairs led down into darkness. Jethro turned around and followed them out of sight for several seconds. Then a light came on. The drop looked to be around four meters. Angel went next. A strange level of respect allowed me to go third. Flame was at my back then Kuiko, Venus and Lavender.The floor was grey-painted concrete. The room stretched out five meters in each direction. 80% of the room was covered with stacked crates with a variety of markings on them, a few even in English. Angel was incredibly tense. I didn't know why, but I had a feel for her moods. The other 20% of the room was an immaculate workbench.Considering Jethro's aversion to cleanliness, this was definitely something noteworthy."What is all this stuff?" Venus asked."Weapons," Angel preempted the old guy."This is an awful lot of weapons," Lavender muttered. No one wanted to say it, so I did."Jethro, you were in the MRA, weren't you?" I tossed out there. I'd told the nation that the MRA was dead and here I was looking at a small armory of illegal weaponry. Jethro had been walking over to the work area. He turned and looked us over."I'm going to do something I don't normally do," Jethro met each of our gazes."I'm going to explain myself. Let's pull some assault rifles out of those crates, make sure they in top shape then go upstairs 'cause I am only going to do this once," he stated."These people don't know how to use firearms," Angel cautioned angrily."They'll never learn if they don't have one and we are approaching the point where we'll need everyone to be a shooter," he countered. "Let's get to it."And that's what we did. These weapons had been top rate stuff at the start of the 21st century. Now, they weren't quite antiques, only old. The basics of using some sort of explosive substance to propel an object at your target remained the same. In the case of firearms, it was remarkably the same, or so Angel said.Kuiko went straight for the Russian-made Surface-to-Air missile, because she thought that the Cyrillic writing looked pretty. It was one of the few exotic devices. Most were clearly Federation military, or Police issue, undoubtedly stolen from some armory at some point early in Jethro's terrorist career.I was irate that Kuiko looked so cute with a bandolier of ammo packs and an automatic shotgun. Angel insisted that only she and Jethro took loaded firearms upstairs. We could carry the gun and the ammo as long as the ammo wasn't in the gun. Venus argued that this defeated the purpose of having the weapon.Angel countered that if she couldn't load it quickly, she probably shouldn't have it in the first place. I caught Flame bagging up a few boxes of ammunition, but Jethro didn't seem to care so I let it slide. It fell to Flame and me to lug extra rifles and cartridge belts up to the rest of the group, being the strongest, Angel was keeping an eye on Jethro and he was keeping an eye on her.Fifteen minutes later, we had gathered back in the spacious dwelling space of our host. Jethro, on his throne, finished off a glass of Wild Cherry and began his tale:"I was seventeen and in high school when the Gender Plague first broke out. I was quarantined for a month before the Supreme Court decided it was illegal and set us men free.I took the opportunity to enlist in the Navy, the U S Navy, because of the man shortage when I was released. Went through Basic, the Specialist School, I was a Damage Control Technician which meant I was a fireman, then a second outbreak happened. I was quarantined for three months this time.I got out and was assigned to the destroyer Michael A. Mansoor. During the Relief of Athens, we all damn near died. Of the eighteen men and women in Damage Control, only me and one other rating enlistee survived. My officer, an ensign, stayed behind to make sure the forward ammunition storage was secure. Our Chief Petty Officer had us seal the ensign in. We saved the ship long enough for the crew to be pulled off.The Mansoor exploded. We were never able to locate her body. She was some R O T C kid who was only with us four months. I never knew her first name until the ceremony after it was all over. She may have been the bravest human being I've ever known. After that, I served aboard the Little Rock working anti-piracy in the Philippines and Indonesia.Since I took part in some land action during that tour, the Navy, I hate using the term Federation, reassigned me to Shore Patrol duty. I took police training and everything. I did another tour aboard the Little Rock the following year then they dragged me off when Congress decided that men couldn't be given combat assignments.Seven months later, they discharged me and thousands of other men as part of a down-sizing program. Unfortunately, the same act of Congress that exited me from the Navy also forbid me joining the fire, or police departments. A buddy of mine was able to find me work in a machine shop where I learned the craft of welding.After that, I was a good boy. I dated, joined a motorcycle club and built up a nice life. When the Gender Inequality Act was passed I was more annoyed than angry. All that changed when I was twenty-nine. See, I had some male friends who joined up with a group called Male Awakening. They were a group devoted to the repeal of the G I A through political means.Things including publically supporting male-friendly candidates and working against G I A-supporters through boycotts and the like. I was rolled up in an FBI sting and those ladies informed me that they'd make those charges go away if I agreed to go inside and spy on Male Awakening. They knew I was friends with those guys. I told them to fuck off, fought the charges and beat their trumped up bullshit.By the time I cleared up my legal troubles, they took the M A down anyway. It seems their Treasurer took off with their funds after leaving some financial irregularities. That was a total load of crap because they never caught that guy, but they did manage to put away most of the group's leadership.A few months later, I ran across one of my buddies who had asked me to join Male Awakening. He'd heard about my troubles and over a few beers, he hinted that the fight wasn't over. This time I bought in. This incarnation didn't have a name. We weren't public. We dug up dirt on corrupt female officials by any means necessary.We destroyed the careers of the worst oppressors of men. Violence wasn't our aim yet we armed ourselves for what we knew would be a harsh crackdown. We operated in small cells, but I knew we had lawyers, judges and even a few Congresswomen on our side. Since we had bracelets by that time, we used women to communicate between cells.Our cell received word of the major Federation sweep, a day before it happened. We were able to move most of our material stashes to new locations before they fell on us. The Writs of Exclusion were abominations. No one ratted me out. For weeks I sweated bullets every time I saw a cop car, a mysterious unmarked car, or heard a siren.After a few months, I began searching for other survivors. We came together in secrecy, united in our fury. The Federation had broken every law and covenant so we agreed that waging a guerilla war was our only option. A week later I bagged my first cop. Put a bullet under her left eye at 80 meters. She was dead before she hit the ground and it felt good.They, the Federation, had murdered my country and now they were paying. Three days later, I waited for a Federation agent to walk out on her porch to see her little girl off to school. I walked up, told the little girl her mother was a whore and put nine slugs into that whore's body and I felt just fine about that too.""No," squeaked Kuiko."That is the way it was," Jethro gave Kuiko a paternal look. "Those women came at me with every dirty trick they could come up with to take away my freedom and I put them in the grave for it.""You murdered people," Angel growled."Fuck you, Cop. The Gender Inequality Act was passed by women to enslave men. No man ever voted on it," Jethro snarled. "Men tried to use the system so you cheated. Boohoo that your bosses didn't figure out our only option left was violent resistance.""I killed seventeen government officials and my only regret is I didn't kill more. Not one was a fair fight. Kuiko, I killed that bitch in front of her daughter because I wanted her buddies to come around and see the anguish on that little girl's face. I wanted them to worry about their own daughters. I wanted them to know they were at war.""You are a murdering scumbag," Roni snapped."I disagree," Flame shook her head. "You are morons if you think he should have called out every freaking target and said 'hey, I know you have all the back-up in the world and I'm alone so I'm giving you ample warning that I'm going to try and kill you.'""You are a psycho," Aniqua pointed out. "It figures you would agree with him.""He didn't have a choice," Samantha intervened. Her speaking so decisively was almost as stunning as her words themselves. "Having a gun might not have saved Israel against the Aurora Slasher, but it might have discouraged those sorority students.""The politics of payback," Flame laughed. "Jethro might sound like some sadistic bastard to the rest of you; not to me. His tactics are sound and they work. Kill enough cops and women stop joining the force. The authorities either crack down harder, bringing more over to your cause, or they concede to some of your demands.""It is how a very small force fights a much larger adversary," Flame concluded."That's still cold blooded murder," Angel reiterated. I didn't know what to think. Jethro butchered defenseless women. The President doomed millions. I admired what Zara did except it was some of the same things that Jethro did, yet she was a soldier and he was a terrorist."There is no resolution to this argument," I spoke clearly and loud. "Short of violence to silence the opposition, there is nothing we can do to rectify the past now. Jethro, why did you stop being a member of the MRA?""Spokane," Jethro answered. "I had no problem with killing cops and Feds, and intimidating their families. They were part of the problem.""Those high school girls though, that made no sense to me. We weren't at war with the female gender; we were at war with the government and their policy of enslavement. Killing random kids was wrong and I wouldn't be associated with it. I talked this over with my cell, they disagreed and I told them that if I saw any of them again, I'd kill them," Jethro clarified."I had several caches only I knew about. I waited a few months then moved up to the city, slowly bringing everything up here as I had the time. A year and a half later, my old buddy was caught up in a traffic stop, shot it out with the cops and was killed. From stuff they found on his body, he rolled up the rest of the gang, but the other members didn't know my real name.""The G E D came out and talked with me. They kept an eye on me for a few years. I behaved and grew old so they eventually went sniffing elsewhere. We wouldn't be here now if I hadn't gone drinking with Kuiko and let slip about my gun stash," Jethro smiled at my little friend. "I knew she'd never betray me, and she hasn't.""Now I've got a front row seat to the End of the World so I get one last chance to make a difference," he said. Yeah, this old guy wanted to go down in a hail of gunfire, no doubt about it."Good for you, you butcher," Roni glared. "I won't do this.""I signed on to make a difference," she continued, "not to hang out with cold-blooded killers. I'm out of here. Is anyone with me?" Aniqua stood up. Venus seriously hesitated before joining them. Venus was looking right at me. Angel's eyes were boring holes into me as well."Israel?" Angel inquired.I could go with them. I could stay. I could beg them to stay. I could stay silent and let events drag me along. My mind was playing Jinga with the vortex of intellectual input and buzz saw emotions that were boiling forth."Angel, Roni, Venus and Aniqua sit back down," I stood and stated. It took them a varying number of seconds to realize I was Not pleading."Israel, you don't get to decide that for us," Roni replied evenly. "We let you go to the Arena last night. This time, we get to choose and we are leaving. If you are the man I hope you are, you will come with us.""At the same time you're pressuring me to give more to the group despite my misgivings, Roni, you are giving less?" I countered. She started to protest. I raised my hand for a reprieve."Hear me out," I continued. "It isn't that simple. I am not questioning your moral quandary about working with people too comfortable with taking human life. It is very real and I feel it. The difference is that you would rather be right and dead than alive at any cost. You've never had to make that call before, but I have and I'm alive to tell you that you are wrong, Roni.""You are dead wrong because dead does nothing. The living can always come back and make something better. Hell, that's what my life has been about the past week and a half. The rest of you are neophytes going into this. I'm not. I know exactly what it takes morally to survive. Don't make me follow any of you out that door. I love each and every one of you.""I do love you, but am I obligated to jump off a cliff for you? I respect your choice to choose suicide. It would be wrong of me to rob you of that freedom. Please don't try to make this about affection, compassion, or loyalty though. It is a matter of life and death. Roni, you are trying to kill me, which I'm okay with. I resent you killing Angel, Aniqua and Venus," I stressed."That's fucked up reasoning," Roni fought back. "Those two get off on killing other people. They enjoy it. Why can't you see that they are just as likely to get you killed as keep you alive?""I will agree with you that Flame gets off on watching people suffer and die," I nodded. "It is the way she is. I don't know Jethro so I'm not ready to make a judgment call on him.""I do know that both of them have exquisite weapon skills and I'm pretty sure we are going to need them before we are truly free," I explained. "I would prefer an all-male super commando squad who had passed every psychological test ever made. That doesn't appear to be on the menu, so I'm willing to hold on to whatever resources are available.""So you are willing to risk all our lives for the sake of expediency," Angel glared."Absolutely," I shot right back. "In case no one is paying attention, I am not in some government facility helping working on some kind of serum to fight the new plague. In case you missed it, everyone here agreed with my decision to flee instead.""Roni, Angel, you do realize that young lady who saved me this morning is going to die, right? I could have insisted she come with us. I could have given her the cure. I didn't. None of you asked me to even after I told the whole globe of an unstoppable wave of death coming for everyone. I'm not asking you to take responsibility for my decision because it was mine.""I'm begging you; understand that it isn't the end of morality to stay. When the madness ends, you need to decide if we will still be worthy of continuing on. You'll no longer be part of that equation if you go now," I declared."Are we supposed to ignore that he was a terrorist and she is a homicidal maniac?" Aniqua said."I'm not homicidal," Flame grinned. "I'm a psychotic sociopath. I don't randomly kill people. I do it with malice of forethought." Jethro didn't show a desire to defend himself."Israel, Flame almost killed you last night," Venus pointed out. "Why would you stick around?"Why was I sticking around?"Israel, don't do this," Angel said. "You promised me you would stop running into danger.""Angel, why do you have to be right and I have to be wrong?" I sighed."Because those two are dangerous criminals," Roni answered. Didn't Roni understand that I was a far more callous killer than either of those 'criminals' and I didn't have to lift a finger, or look at a single grave?(Before the Curtain Call)Shortly after nine-thirty that night, the awaited and feared seismic event happened in China. A few minutes past sunrise over Hong Kong the rains broke and a fleet of helicopters and V T O Ls (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) were heard over the city. Helicopters were not unknown in this center of wealth and commerce. Well over a hundred all coming in at once was noteworthy.For many of the citizens of the city, it had been a restless night. After midnight, police sirens had been wailing all over the city. Some even heard gunfire. What they didn't know was that for the past four hours, private security forces working for the most prominent communities and some special police units had raided the middle class communities of the city and stolen their men.They forced the men into protective suits and hustled them back to the high-rises that sheltered the most 'important' people. This was an outrage that they could not get away with, had China still functioned normally. A new order based on brutal social cannibalism was taking place. The rich were taking their vassals and their new 'acquisitions' to their estates far from the population centers.This was supposed to be a gradual process except late yesterday afternoon the other Great Families learned that one of their own had their first reported case of this new 'flu.' They could wait no longer. They would have preferred to flee under the cover of darkness, but rain and the danger of so many helicopters and V T O Ls moving around forced them to postpone until first light.You didn't have to be a connoisseur of conspiracy theories to figure out what was going on. Men had been stolen and now the rich were bugging out of town in one big hurry. Late Friday, the 'flu' began to appear in the population in a big way. The workers in the hospital were afraid, not fearful, afraid.

Somebody pushed the wrong button. We love you and will be back tomorrow!

WBS: Oh, Boo Hoo #302 -- The gang is at it again. Brimstone is joined by his wing-man Alex DaPonte and Brim's wife Danielle as they chat about Brim and Danielle's visit to Salem, breakfast at Red's, the Vamp Fangs Noir Blanc awesomeness, and the Goodnight Fatty sadness. They discuss how Brim did the Abracadabra dance for social media at their hotel, and then witnessed creepy cringe sex noises from a nearby room. They discuss having a noodle party, Alex pouring coffee into his by mistake, and the Indiana teacher who fornicated with thirteen year old students… while they wore Ghostface masks. They also chat about why you don't take candy from strangers (or cookies), why audio equipment and drugs don't mix and Cookie Cutter released on Nintendo Switch today.

Five years ago, in the midst of the COVID pandemic, she took a massive financial and life-risking leap—flying to London with no guarantees, no safety net, and only her self-belief, resilience, and grit to chase her dream of becoming an international fashion model. Despite setbacks and moments of doubt, her gamble paid off.A UP Los Baños Chemical Engineering graduate who once wanted to work for NASA, Ella discovered her true passion in modeling. Once pressured to conform to beauty pageant standards, winning a modeling competition led her toward high fashion instead.

In dieser Episode des Weihnachtspodcasts mit Florian Heinemann besprechen wir zunächst die jüngste Übernahme von About You durch Zalando, doch unser Hauptaugenmerk liegt darauf, welche Auswirkungen dieser Zusammenschluss auf die Wettbewerbslandschaft im Bereich Mode und Beauty haben könnte, besonders im Kontext der Konkurrenz durch Shein. Wir analysieren die bisherigen Erfolge von Shein im Bereich Eigenmarken, wobei unser besonderes Interesse der Marke SheGlam gewidmet ist, die einen bemerkenswerten Aufstieg im Beauty-Segment verzeichnet hat. Florian und ich reflektieren über die strategischen Überlegungen hinter der Fusion und diskutieren die Frage, ob die Corporate Synergien schnell genug realisiert werden können, um einen wettbewerbsfähigen Vorteil gegen Unternehmen wie Shein zu schaffen. Wir stellen fest, dass die Integration des neuen Unternehmens Zeit benötigt und eine generelle Koordination und Abstimmung notwendig sein wird, damit die angestrebten Effekte sich tatsächlich entfalten können. Im Verlauf des Gesprächs beleuchten wir auch die Herausforderungen und Chancen auf dem europäischen Markt. Am Beispiel von Marken wie ASOS und Boohoo wird deutlich, dass diese Unternehmen in den letzten Jahren stark an Marktanteilen und Kunden verloren haben. Wir erörtern, ob Zalando und About You angesichts dieser Entwicklungen tatsächlich in der Lage sind, einen echten europäischen Player zu etablieren, und ob es klug wäre, aktiv auf Märkte wie den britischen zuzugehen. Ein weiterer spannender Aspekt unseres Austausches ist die Entwicklung von SheGlam und das Potenzial dieser Marke, sich im hart umkämpften Beauty-Markt zu behaupten. Wir sind beeindruckt von der rasanten Skalierung und dem Erfolg, den SheGlam innerhalb kürzester Zeit erreicht hat. Gemeinsam diskutieren wir die Möglichkeiten, die moderne Marketingansätze, insbesondere Social Media, bieten, um eine starke Markenpräsenz und Kundennähe zu schaffen. Zum Schluss wagen wir einige Prognosen für das Jahr 2025. Wir beleuchten unter anderem die Position von Apple und die Frage, ob wir den Höhepunkt der Apple-Dominanz bereits erreicht haben. Des Weiteren diskutieren wir die potenziellen Entwicklungen bei Zalando und die Möglichkeit von Bitcoin als Reservewährung in den USA. Wir schließen die Episode mit einem Ausblick auf kommende Themen und den Wunsch, im nächsten Jahr die Frequenz unserer Podcast-Episoden zu erhöhen.

In dieser Episode unseres Sonntagspodcasts nehmen wir die potenziellen nächsten Deals von About You und Zalando unter die Lupe, nachdem wir in der letzten Folge deren Geschäfte detailliert analysiert haben. Ich reflektiere über das umfangreiche Feedback, das ich bezüglich unserer letzten Diskussion erhalten habe, insbesondere zu den Herausforderungen, die sich für Otto und dessen Zukunftsperspektiven ergeben. Wir schauen uns heute die Situation von ASOS, Boohoo und Revolve an, Unternehmen, die im aktuellen Marktumfeld vor großen Herausforderungen stehen. Die Daten und Angebote dieser Unternehmen haben wir mithilfe von verschiedenen AI-Tools analysiert. Mein erster Eindruck von ASOS war ernüchternd: Die Anzahl aktiver Kunden sinkt, der Umsatz schrumpft und die Verluste steigen. Es war einst ein führendes Unternehmen in der Fashionindustrie, das für seine trendbewussten Eigenmarken bekannt war, jedoch hat es sich zunehmend in ein Discount-Modell verwandelt. Dies führt uns zur Überlegung, ob ASOS für Zalando oder About You ein attraktives Übernahmeziel sein könnte, was sich jedoch durch die stark sinkenden Umsätze und eine abnehmende Kundenbasis als problematisch herausstellt. Ein zentrales Thema ist die schwindende Relevanz traditioneller E-Commerce-Modelle im Angesicht von neuen Marktteilnehmern wie SHEIN, die sich durch Schnelligkeit und Preisanpassungen auszeichnen. Ich bespreche die verschiedenen finanziellen Kennzahlen, die darauf hindeuten, dass ASOS und Boohoo Schwierigkeiten haben, sich an die veränderten Marktbedingungen anzupassen. In Anbetracht der stagnierenden Performance und der Abhängigkeit von Verkaufsrabatten stellt sich die Frage, ob eine Akquisition noch sinnvoll wäre, da es sich um ein degenerierendes Geschäftsmodell handelt. Wir stellen auch die Effizienz von Boohoo in Frage, das ähnliche Herausforderungen durchlebt. Ich bringe zur Sprache, dass die Marke ursprünglich mit niedrigeren Preisen und einer klaren Zielgruppe groß wurde, jedoch jetzt gegen die Übermacht von SHEIN kämpfen muss. Beide Unternehmen zeigen einen sinkenden Umsatz und wir diskutieren die Gründe dafür sowie die Perspektiven, die sie haben, um sich in diesem hart umkämpften Markt zu behaupten. Der Blick auf Revolve gestaltet sich differenzierter. Revolve positioniert sich im höherpreisigen Segment und erreicht ein aktives Kundenvolumen, das für den US-Markt relativ gering ist, jedoch eine gewisse Stabilität zeigt. Ich führe die relativ hohen Warenkorberlöse und die Abhängigkeit von Vollpreisverkäufen als Wettbewerbsvorteile an, die das Unternehmen von ASOS und Boohoo unterscheiden. Dennoch stellen wir fest, dass die Bewertung von Revolve im Vergleich zu ASOS und Boohoo sehr hoch ist, was Bedenken aufwirft, ob diese Bewertung langfristig gerechtfertigt bleibt.

Hi Karen. It's another week, another beautiful podcast time, not our goodness. Karen Swim, APR (00:22): Hi Michelle. I'm doing so well and just glad to be here and been in this time with you and our listeners. How are you doing? Michelle Kane (00:34): I'm doing well too. Yes, we're making it through February, which is fantastic. I was just talking to a client and we were both marveling at how it is flying by. Karen Swim, APR (00:45): It really is. I cannot believe that next week is the end of February. It's the last week in the month that went so quickly. Michelle Kane (00:54): Even with the extra day in it, it's just seems to be just going poof, which is fine. Karen Swim, APR (00:58): Yeah. Michelle Kane (00:59): It means more daylight for us to soak in and that's good. We've made it through the darkness of the season, so congratulations to all of us. And speaking of how darkness can have an impact, we're going to talk today actually about constructive criticism and how we're kind of sensing a little bit, we're feeling our generation a little bit in light of, I think, Karen, you brought up some comments over on LinkedIn about some Super Bowl ads and just some of the pushback that would you say, is it Gen Z mainly? What were you finding? Karen Swim, APR (01:43): Yeah, it's interesting. So there was some criticism of Super Bowl ads and for a certain generation of us it's like, okay, that's normal, right? Come in the marketing industry, push back at the criticism saying, let's all be kind. These people work so hard and it's the biggest stage, blah, blah, blah. And then another person of a different generation, older, not maybe a millennial, stepped up and said something completely different. Basically like Boohoo, get over yourself. And I thought that her point was well taken and I immediately saw that these were generational differences. So all of the people that were team know criticism were younger and all of the people that brought up the point of criticism is beneficial. Michelle Kane (02:42): Yeah, absolutely. Were older Karen Swim, APR (02:44): And it made me think about how this plays out in the PR profession, what it means to our clients and what it means to this new generation of practitioners. Michelle Kane (02:57): Yeah, that's very true because I mean, let's be honest, part of our job as PR practitioners is to be that voice of honesty, to bring the stark realism in, even if it's just to prepare people for the landscape they may face. I always borrow, I borrow a line from Billy Bragg and say, I am that little black cloud in a dress. That's my job. I'm not saying that I'm not coming at you to be negative or to put a downer on our efforts, but just this is the component that we need to keep in mind in everything we do that might happen. Yeah, it's Karen Swim, APR (03:36): Important. I love that line. That is such a perfect line, and I know it seems a little morose, but it cannot be more true for us as communicators that we have to deal in reality and we have to tactfully deliver news and we have to be honest with our clients because that trust is sacred. And as strategic advisors, we're not looking at just the now, we're looking ahead. We're looking at all of the around every corner where people may not think to look. And I think that this failure to understand that criticism is valuable, criticism sharpens, you can take insights for criticism, but we have generation of kids that grew up being shielded. So you talk about bad things, everybody got participation trophies and everybody's nice, and I'm all for being kind. So we're not talking about trolls and hatred. What we're talking about is criticism that's necessary. (04:53): When you put anything out into the world, it will be judged. That's part of the creative process. It really is. And so as a company, would you want to produce a product or service, have no one say anything about it that's negative, but then have it bomb and you have no idea why? Because no one spoke up. Well, I'm seeing this generation that just cannot confront the hard thing. So we see this play out in our business development landscape for PR professionals. I hear this all the time about clients ghosting you or potential clients ghosting. You have a meeting, maybe you have a couple of meetings, you talk through their needs. You put together what you discussed on paper in the form of a proposal, and then crickets forever. (05:46): Often it's because they can't afford the budget, but they're afraid to say that. So they just don't say anything and they just don't talk to you. Well, and it also deprives that PR professional of the courtesy of understanding what the market landscape really is. If somebody presents something to you for a particular price, you've deprived them of the opportunity to walk you through it, the opportunity to examine their own services and how they're presented and whether or not their pricing makes sense for the marketplace. And it also deprives you of the opportunity for them to do a scope of work that actually fits your needs a little bit better. So you have just decided to look at one component and then walk away because it's too hard to talk about. Michelle Kane (06:41): Yeah, and there's so much value in talking about it because, okay, well, tell me why you think this is too much and how can we still achieve results for you perhaps at a different price point or taking a different tactic. There are always usually, unless the budget is just ridiculously low ways to be of service, and it's a shame both sides are missing out on that. Karen Swim, APR (07:07): It is really sad. And managing conflict is such a fundamental tool for human beings, period. Life is not all rainbows and sprinkles. It is not. And you cannot simply say nothing all of the time. It does not work. It does not serve you and it does not serve others. And I wish that we would take this communication void seriously within the PR profession. And those of us who are more experienced and companies need to recognize this too, you need to be, begin to teach the soft skill sets to your next generation of workers. Do not assume that they have these skill sets. They do not. They cannot write business emails. They do not know these things. Does that mean that they're not smart? Of course not. They're brilliant, but they just don't have these soft skills. And so I think it's on us to ensure that we train them and that we as an older generation teach them how to tackle the difficult things and the difficult conversations. I am sure we've all had experiences, I've had this with the younger workers who are so eager to say that they can do things, that you ask questions and they say they can do it, and they don't have a clue because they're afraid to say, I don't know how to do that, so that you can actually teach them and walk them through it. We've got to get past this because it is going to be disastrous for the workforce if we don't address this issue. Michelle Kane (08:45): That is so incredibly true, and I love what you said about setting projects up to fail, especially something as massive and as high budget and high spend as a Super Bowl spot. I mean, those are high, high stakes. And to spend all that time and energy on something that whether you don't realize is going to just bomb out or you know it, but I can't say it. Oh my goodness, that's not going to end well for anyone. It's going to be so demoralizing to you. And also please, as you are going about practicing the craft to public relations, we've got to keep our industry in mind. How does that present as our profession of what we do? I mean, we especially need to have the capability to have those hard conversations. And it doesn't have to be, it's like they say, oh, it took me five seconds to do that task. I've been putting off for five months because I thought it would take five hours. It's kind of like that a lot of time. Those hard conversations that's going to earn you more respect with your clients. They may be relieved that you brought it up. And the point is, it is coming from your caring about the work, your caring about how the client is going to look. So even though it may feel like a negative thing, it may feel like the most uncomfortable, the thing you've ever done. It really is going to lead to a positivity of better work, more progress. Karen Swim, APR (10:39): I will tell you that clients absolutely will respect you for standing up for what is right and looking out for the reputation. Not every client is going to like it. Not every client is going to accept your advice. And so there's having the heart conversation, but then also learning how to navigate the solution. So you have to understand how to pick your battles, but you can't understand that if you're never addressing tough things. This is just part of the job and you become better and better at it. So clients will push back, they will tell you, no, I want this, and you can give them your professional counsel and then you have to make some decisions. How important is this? Is this like a fundamental no-No, that we absolutely will not do it. We cannot do it. I'll give you an example. If your client wants to quote someone in print, but they want it to be anonymous, we already know that's not going to fly with reporters unless you're talking in the political arena, deep Russian secrets, murder investigation. But in the business realm, that's not going to fly. You can't have somebody that's an anonymous or a made up name. I've confronted all of these issues over my career once had someone that said, oh, this person is willing to be quoted, but can we just use a fake name? No, we cannot. No. (12:04): So let's not quote that. So that was an absolute no, no, I am not doing that. If a client wants you to break the law or do something unethical, obviously you're not going to do that. But you're not going to go to the math over a semicolon or over a headline. That is not the greatest. But it doesn't break any rules. There are just some battles you have to choose because this is the negotiation of a client relationship. But again, have those conversations and I think people, they misunderstand difficult conversations with fighting. You're not fighting. Exactly. It's not ugly. It doesn't even have to be, we're not talking raised voices. We're talking being a professional and understanding that in this role, you're not always going to get agreement. And the more that you advance in your career and as you begin to lead people, whether you're in an official leadership role or not, I promise you, because this is something else. (13:15): I've seen this trend of the younger generation, not aspiring to be managers, but please understand that leaders are not always leaders by title. You can be leaders by virtue of the way that people listen and respect you, your experience in the field. And so as you advance in your career, whether you have an official leadership title or not, you will be a leader. And these are still issues that you'll have to learn to navigate. You can't just go through your career in your life just going along to please and never saying anything that conflicts with someone else's opinion. Michelle Kane (13:51): Yeah. In fact, that could lead to some disrespect to be completely honest. Karen Swim, APR (13:55): Most definitely. And if you are a woman in the workforce or any other ethnicity, Michelle Kane (14:04): Yes, yes, exactly. Karen Swim, APR (14:06): This is something you don't want to do. And I know that women who stand up for themselves and speak their opinions are often regarded negatively. But I will tell you this, I would rather be respected than popular Michelle Kane (14:21): Any day. Karen Swim, APR (14:21): This is not a popularity contest. I love my clients. I am committed to them. I will not work with someone if I do not respect them, the individual, the people that I will be working with in addition to the organization. So I'm going to fight for you. I'm going to fight to make sure that we are excellent, that we are buttoned up, and that we do everything that we can to safeguard the trust that your customers put into you. And so that means I'm looking out for you, and if I give you counsel, it's coming from a place of me as a strategic advisor, understanding something that you may not, this is my area of expertise and that's why you hired me. So realize that too. Your employer, your clients, they hired you, not so that you could just say yes to everything or be nice. Oh, okay, I'm going to do that. They hired you to do your freaking job. Michelle Kane (15:18): It's hard, Karen. It's hard. And you know what? It's hard some days. Karen Swim, APR (15:22): Some days Michelle Kane (15:24): You have, but you have to stand your ground and stand up for the right way to move forward. Not that you're always going to be battling something that's unethical, but just if you've made it to the point where you are working as a professional in public relations or communications, you have what you've had, what it takes to get you to that point. So trust that, trust that instinct. And I know it can be very difficult in a world where increasingly sometimes it feels like our profession is not regarded as a profession on par with other professions that have designations. And even though there is a designation in public relations, but hopefully my point's coming across so I get it, but we are every bit the professionals. We know our world, and even though other people dabble in our world that does not make them expert and trust, there are things they haven't thought of and are things they would never even have considered. That to us comes firsthand. So try it. We're going to challenge. If you're in that generation, we're going to challenge you to try it. It'll feel good, it'll be scary, but you know what? I call those a good scared. Take a step into the good scared. And if you're looking for a community that will help guide you, shameless self-promotion, plug segue, (16:53): Sign up for the newsletters@soloprpro.com, join the community because that is where I call it the ultimate staff meeting. It is a safe space where we can ask what we might feel is a dumb question or we can say, Hey, I'm facing this situation. I'm really unsure how to handle it. I'm not comfortable. Have you ever experienced this? What did you do? You'll get such wise and supportive counsel, it will blow your socks off. Karen Swim, APR (17:24): Agreed. It is a really spectacular community of peers that are not just takers, but givers. And there is a wide range of experiences. And so it really is unique in that you don't have people that are confined to just certain industries. There's wide ranging areas of expertise. Us and I could not ask for a greater group of people to hang out with. And so yes, please. I of course selfishly would love for you to join solo pr, but we also would love it if you told people about this podcast that is geared to communication professionals. We've been doing this for what, Michelle? 300 episodes or so? Michelle Kane (18:12): We're getting there. This might be 237. Yeah, Karen Swim, APR (18:14): So this is not a fly by night operation. We are committed, we are passionate, and we have been consistent in broadcasting week after week after week. And we still love it today as much as we did on episode one, and we hope that you do too. We're always open to topics that you want to see covered, guests that you may want to have appear. I would say stay tuned in March. We have, oh my God, I'm so excited about guests that we have in March and the things that are going on talk about March Madness. It is just going to be a huge celebration. So please, please share it your episodes. We put them out on social media as well. So if you could follow us on social and share, we would so appreciate it. Michelle Kane (19:03): We absolutely would. And we thank you and we value the time you give us each week. So until next time, thanks for listening to That Solo Life.  

If you've ever faced the harsh reality of your dreams not unfolding the way you planned, know this: you're not alone. Those seasons are often accompanied by disappointment, loss, and grief, and it can feel like God is standing by silently. But His "no", and His delay in our lives, don't mean He's abandoned us -- in fact, it's just the opposite. "I will never leave you or forsake you" rings true for all of us, but we have to trust Him in the process.

The Halloween season is one of the best times of the year at the parks. Cooler temperatures, fun events and great haunts make theme parks the place to be. BUT...it's not all perfect. There are some new trends that take some of the fun out of the haunts. We'll talk about them and some possible ways to fix it.

In part two of now THREE, Amanda explores fast fashion 1.0 and 2.0 through the lens of her career.  In this episode we will break down all of the acrobatics brands did to bring their customers more and more newness, faster and faster.   How fashion got faster with some help from social media and the normalization of shopping online. How retailers began to commodify every holiday and occasion, creating products we didn't really need for every and any "event." Why fast fashion retailers started to carry a lot of new things that weren't clothing. How small online-only retailers like Modcloth, Nasty Gal, Lulu's, and Dolls Kill were able to offer even more steady newness without a huge in-house design team. Get ready to learn about the San Pedro Apparel Mart. How fast fashion 2.0 brands like Fashion Nova and Boohoo could keep prices low while creating product faster than anyone else.  Additional reading:"Barnardo's calls for people to think 'pre-loved' before buying new clothes"Planet Money, Episode 765: The Holiday Industrial Complex"Is Urban Outfitters Phasing Out Its Indie Athleisure Brand?," Adele Chapin, Racked."From the San Pedro Wholesale Mart, a Brand Rises," Kari Hamanaka, WWD."Boohoo's business model is as cheeky as a bikini paired with chaps," The Economist."Inside the lavish lives of the billionaire family behind Boohoo, the fast-fashion giant called out in an investigation into workers being paid just $4 an hour at suppliers' factories," Mary Hanbury, Insider."Boohoo booms as Leicester garment factories are linked to lockdown," Archie Bland and Annie Kelly, The Guardian."Dark factories: labour exploitation in Britain's garment industry," Sarah O'Connor, Financial Times."Boohoo opens first owned factory in ‘new chapter' amid international market challenges," Emily Hawkins, City A.M."Three graphs revealing how Fashion Nova disrupted the fashion industry," Edited."Fashion Nova's Secret: Underpaid Workers in Los Angeles Factories," Natalie Kitroeff, The New York Times.FTC Announces Refund Claims Process for Fashion Nova Customers Affected by Deceptive Review PracticesSpecial thanks to this episode's sponsors:Soft Work, intuitive garment construction for beginners.
