This week, I sat down with the founder of LOHO Bride - the most sought-after bridal shop in Los Angeles and a haven for brides who are true fashion lovers. Long before bridal became a runway moment, Christy Baird created a space for a made-to-order, fashion-forward bridal experience and was an early supporter of now-iconic names like Danielle Frankel and Vivienne Westwood. We talk about the bridal industry's major boom, the rise of multi-look wedding weekends, and why so many ready-to-wear designers are entering their “bridal era.” We also talk about the biggest trends in bridal, from veils to the scarf dress, and her best advice for shopping for the big day.Get 20% an annual membership of my new substack Let's Get Dressed here https://letsgetdressed.substack.com/lgdLove the show?

Listen now: Spotify, Apple and YouTubeWhat if you had a personalized AI toolkit—not just a chatbot—that actually remembered your projects, your workflows, and even your family's preferences?In this episode, Marc and Ben sit down with Mike Bal, a product leader experimenting at the frontier of AI tooling. Mike shares how he built a local memory system for Claude using Model Context Protocols (MCPs), enabling persistent knowledge graphs that connect everything from his product designs to his family's vacation plans. They walk through how it works—step-by-step—including a live demo of Fleur (essentially a mini app marketplace to make it easy for non technical people to add MCPs to Claude), how Mike structures entities and relationships, and why this setup beats traditional RAG approaches for real-world usage.If you've ever wanted your AI to truly understand you and the work you do—or you're curious how a product leader uses AI to streamline everything from design reviews to family logistics—this episode is packed with real-world inspiration and actionable examples.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

For every entrepreneur, the fantasy of your own business is about being in control of your destiny. For a lucky few, that pays off with the job — and lifestyle — of your dreams. One way to get there is to help other folks fulfill their own fantasies. Or maybe even one — at least temporarily. That fantasy might be waltzing through an evening of elegance in the gown of your dreams. Or hobnobbing with trolls while you nosh on a turkey leg. If the latter is your cup of mead, you might venture to Ville Platte for the Acadiana Renaissance Faire, co-founded by Blanche Boudreaux. Blanche is the Faire’s creative director. She grew up going to Ren fairs as a teenager and leapt at the chance to get involved with one as an adult when she volunteered to help some friends get the Acadiana Fair started. She and her husband were pulled in as part owners, and they debuted the Acadiana Ren Faire in 2021. The Acadiana Renaissance Faire has grown from a rented field to a full-on fantasy village in Ville Platte, complete with trolls, pirates, and fairy lands. Blanche is also a licensed practical nurse by day, but her passion for storytelling and spectacle is what fuels her side hustle. If Blanche helps you live your fantasy, then Annie Bonaventure helps you dress for it. Annie is the co-owner of Bella Bridesmaids in Lafayette, part of a national franchise offering a curated boutique experience for weddings and formal events. She bought into the business in 2021 after being a customer herself and realizing she loved the model. Bella Bridesmaids prides itself as an all-one-shop. Bridal parties can get the whole crew styled for the rehearsal dinner to the after party. The company also boasts a virtual showroom that allows wedding parties to share favorites, order online, and get reminders. Annie’s background is in cosmetology and wedding hair and makeup, so stepping into bridal fashion felt like a natural next step. Out to Lunch Acadiana was recorded live over lunch at Tsunami Sushi in downtown Lafayette.
