After 33 years of redefining retail, Anthropologie has mastered creating stores that serve communities rather than just selling to them. Mindy Massey, who oversees stores across North America and the UK after 26 years with the brand, reveals how they've shifted from conversion to connection—empowering 10,000+ employees as community curators while maintaining authentic relationships at scale. Her insights offer a masterclass in why this approach matters more than ever as younger generations reshape retail expectations.The Multi-Gen EffectKey takeaways:Amplification over transformation: Anthropologie didn't reinvent their service strategy—they amplified 33 years of authentic relationship-building with better tools and deeper community integration. "I would say more than transformation. It's been like amplification... Our service strategy has always been built on a foundation of genuine connection." - Mindy [02:52]Wide lanes, strong guardrails: Success requires high accountability and clear brand standards while giving local teams wide creative latitude to serve their specific communities. "We do provide guardrails. But the lanes are kind of wide open for a localized approach." - Mindy [06:41]Authenticity drives KPIs, not vice versa: The brand prioritizes genuine relationships over metrics, trusting that real connections naturally generate better business outcomes. "The authenticity of the relationships is what drives the KPIs versus the KPIs driving the relationships." - Mindy [09:26]Ordinary to extraordinary: Every element, from yarn window displays to finance team creativity, embraces the philosophy of transforming simple materials into unexpected beauty. "So much of our heritage is steeped in making the ordinary extraordinary. You find something really simple and you make it super innovative." - Mindy [13:36]In-Show Mentions:Tricia Smith (CEO, Anthropologie)Rockefeller Center store holiday displayAssociated Links:Learn more about EndearCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

During my career I have witnessed dozens of executives avoid managing tough business situations. Why? I'm not totally certain, but most of the times it seems rooted in mistaken identity. In other words, they see their obligation to manage as an eventual path to confrontation. Not liking confrontation, the executive turns away, avoids managing altogether, and the problem festers and mushrooms. If this is your company, maybe it's time to redefine the expectations of leadership?Support the show

Episode 224Join us for a game-changing interview with Grammy-nominated artist James Artissen, formerly known as James Worthy, as he unpacks his incredible transformation. From the inspiration behind his rebranding and the excitement of Grammy recognition to the vision fueling his own label, Humble Sound Records, James holds nothing back. He takes us behind the curtain of his deal with Universal Music Group, revealing key moments and insights into his debut album's creation, and drops a mind-blowing piece of business advice that will change the way you think. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about reinvention, resilience, and the pursuit of musical dreams.GuestGuestGrammy Nominated Singer, Songwriter, Record Producer, and Audio Engineer James Artissen also formerly known as James Worthy has long considered the name to be central to his life, and identity. It represents the dedication, and the passion towards his craft. Coming from New York, the musician attributes his hometown as a major influence on his style, and sound. Born James Allen Worthy on March 28, 1992 in Queens, New York, James began pursuing music at the age of 16. During that time period James had the opportunity to meet the late great Michael Jackson at Webster Hall in New York City which inspired James to fully pursue a career in the music business. After moving to Atlanta, GA the singer, songwriter, and producers first musical experience was at his high school recording studio through a music mentoring program sponsored by Dallas Austin. His initial foray into music consisted of learning the art of songwriting which later turned into music production shortly after. Artissen was also highly influenced by artists such as: A Tribe Called Quest, Whodini, Kanye West, Miguel, The Weeknd, and Pharrell Williams. While studying those artists he began to teach himself how to sing in 2009. To further his education he attended The Art Institute of Atlanta where he received a bachelor's degree in audio production. This helped him begin working, and placing his work with mainstream acts, and songwriters. In 2017, James transitioned from music production to artistry, and began recording himself. He joined a duo group named Kings X2, and released their debut single "Wine For Me" in september of 2017. The single peaked at #10 on the US Billboard Hot Single Sales Chart for 5 weeks. Later in 2018 the group disbanded, and James released his debut solo single "Move" which features the rap group Whodini. Following up to 2019 James released his anticipated EP "Blu Leisure" which became critically acclaimed upon its release. The project included guest appearances from: Tony Terry, Sonna Rele, Kalenna Harper, and Whodini. After its great success he released his sophomore EP "Kaleidoscopes", and in 2023 he joined forces with rapper Big Gipp of the rap group Goodie Mob to release their collaborative EP "Gipp N Worthy". The lead single "TOTW" peaked at #91 on the US Billboard R&B Digital Sales Chart also charting at the #1 position on the Amazon Best Sellers Chart. Within all of James's work he has been nominated for several Grammy Awards by working with names such as: Meek Mill, Justin Bieber, Robin S., 112, Raphael Saadiq, and so many others to name. In 2024 James launched his own label imprint Humble Sound Record in conjunction with Sony Orchard. The label houses artists such as: B Angie B, Robin S., Tynisha Keli, Sophia Habib, Shaynah, and Truth Hurts.https://www.jamesartissen.comHostOlyasha Novozhylova @notbasicblonde_NotBasicBlonde Podcast @nbbpodcast

If you're creating hyper-specific content focused on direct selling and wondering why your posts aren't performing like they used to, you're probably skipping 2 crucial parts of your social media funnel. In today's episode, I'm breaking down something controversial: not every piece of content is meant to convert immediately! I know that sounds crazy when you're trying to grow your business, but hear me out. With how social media algorithms have evolved, the old strategy of making every post a direct pitch to your offer just isn't working anymore. I'm sharing my A-B-C framework for social funnels that's helped me build my seven-figure design agency. Most entrepreneurs are obsessing over the bottom of the funnel (conversion) while completely ignoring attraction and building content—which is why their audience isn't engaging and their sales calls aren't booking. You'll discover why your content needs to move people from audience member to follower to community member before they're ready to buy, how to create attraction content that's general enough to bring new people in but specific enough to stay relevant to your brand, and why the building phase is where most people confuse connection-building with direct selling. Plus, I'm revealing why I take most of my conversion content off social media entirely and into email sequences, private podcasts, and sales calls where people are actually ready to buy. In this episode, we're chatting about: • The A-B-C social funnel framework • Why direct selling content doesn't perform • The building phase mistake  • Moving conversion off social media   Connect with me:  Website Join our email list!

Content note: This episode mentions mental health, burnout, chronic illness, and briefly references the high suicide rates in the veterinary profession. Does it feel like all the business advice out there just doesn't work for you? If you've tried the tips - 5 a.m. mornings, batching, delegation - and ended up exhausted or convinced there's something wrong with you, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. In this episode of The Organised CEO, we talk about: • Why most business advice is written for people with predictable energy, simple lives and lots of support • What to do when your reality looks very different - chronic illness, ADHD, parenting, trauma or just a life that doesn't run on neat routines • Two client stories showing how designing a business around your reality changes everything You'll leave this episode knowing that the problem isn't your discipline or effort. It's that you've been trying to make strategies work that were never designed for the way you live and work. I'll walk you through how to start building a business operating system that finally fits. If traditional advice has always felt like trying to squeeze yourself into someone else's life, this one's for you.

From investing in your growth, in the right rooms, and most importantly, in the right relationships. This conversation is for anyone who's craving deeper connections, higher-level friendships, and a reminder that big wins are often born from the seeds we plant now.Tune in to hear more about:• How investing in opportunity (even when it feels scary!) can unlock the doors to both personal and professional growth.• Why relationship capital is one of the most important currencies you can build,  and how to focus on deposits, not withdrawals.• What it looks like to reframe imposter syndrome and get back in the game with support from the right people.• Real-life examples of how small, intentional acts led to major connections.• The truth about proximity, showing up, and why no one is coming to save you.Whether you're growing your business, looking to deepen your community, or just need a nudge to show up more fully, this episode will challenge you to think long-term and lead with heart.Our 1 Day Mastermind has actually sold out since we recorded this BUT we would love to gauge the interest if we should hold another one and want to hear from you!

Imagine an Octopus with eight sucker-bearing arms, a soft body, and a strong beaklike jaw. Now transfer this image to what happens when a company lies to a customer. Each outright lie (body) ends up requiring many sub-lies (sucker-bearing arms) to support the false story (body). Here is the rub…customers detect lies more often than not. What can we do to stop this? Easy…find the crooked jaws within your company, weed them out, and then start to tell customers the truths they deserve to hear. The health of your business will get better as your company watches the Octopus swim off into the deep waters.Support the show
