Podcast appearances and mentions of Calvin Klein

Okay, cool; former Republican Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan is a Democrat, and while he's (supposedly) "fielding calls" to run for office, he's not saying he has any interest in doing so.To that I say "good." You just sat in the pew; no sense aiming to be a deacon just yet. If does decide to run, however, there are quite a few questions Democratic activists and voters sour on his role in the state of affairs in Georgia now would like to ask him. I shared a few in-show today. Former Georgia Democratic Party chair Steve Anthony also sought to remind Duncan and AJC readers how Georgia became "the" southern state that rose from the southern mire when under Democratic control. ------Former Dekalb County CEO Mike Thurmond had a busy "day one" in his quest to be the Democratic Party nominee for Georgia's governor's race in 2026, which included three social media posts: the campaign video rollout, an offer of prayers to yesterday's Fort Stewart shooting victims and his end-of-day video. It's the middle one that bothers me most. Not because he offered prayers and well-wishes, obviously, but because he hasn't posted a SINGLE thing on that same professional Facebook account since June of 2023. Why is there no offer of prayers for Apalachee High School shooting victims from last September? If the answer is "he wasn't campaigning then," then that's my problem. ------AJC columnist Bill Torpy penned a piece about the curious case of a Georgia coach's son handpicked to be a Senate candidate by that state's governor. Is this about a famous daddy's prodigal son or about Brian Kemp not trying to concede that Donald Trump is his daddy? Lots to unpack.------Lastly, what IS the deal with Megyn Kelly and people of color if - as she insists - she's not a white supremacist? The "Santa is white" lady - for some reason - felt the need to compare the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle "genes/jeans" campaign to Beyonce's newer Levi's jeans 90-second motif. My two cents? I'm indifferent to the Sweeney ad but it felt kind of lazy - a riff on Brooke Sheild's iconic Calvin Klein ad from my childhood but I rather enjoyed Beyonce's episode. It's like a "short story," and ... I don't know ... was entertaining. Megyn, however? She opined that something about Beyonce's "look below" was ... "bought and paid for." You know, "artificial, fake, enhanced."First, kinda gross a woman is making accusations like that, but when it's the tighter-faced Megyn Kelly, it's even richer. Also, does Meg not know Beyonce just wrapped a global world tour where those legs and glutes put in a hell of a workout for 3-5 nights a week for many months? Ma'am; that ain't "artificial." It's hard work. Clearly Megyn Kelly doesn't recognize it.

Eric shares insights on the importance of body positivity and self-expression through underwear, while also discussing the future of underwear trends and styles. Takeaways Eric's fascination with underwear began during puberty. The early days of underwear shopping were filled with excitement. Quality underwear brands like Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger were aspirational. Family influences can shape one's underwear choices. The growth of an underwear collection often happens post-family life. Everyday wear can include both practical and stylish underwear. Underwear can be a reflection of one's sexuality and identity. Social media has changed how people express their love for underwear. Locker room experiences can be both thrilling and anxiety-inducing. Organizing an underwear collection can be a practical challenge. Titles Exploring Eric's Underwear Journey The Evolution of Underwear Preferences Sound Bites "I can get stuff like this at TJ Maxx."

In Podcast Ep. 144, we tackle explosive topics shaking up the headlines. We scrutinize CNN's framing of a shooter as “white,” spotlighting media spin. On tariffs, we reveal how experts misfired, with evidence showing their surprising economic success. We expose Susan Miller, CIA drafter of the new Intelligence Community Assessment, for her hypocrisy—publicly branding Trump a “dictator” and MAGA supporters “Nazis” on social media while projecting neutrality. We break down the Democrats' playbook, exposing their strategic maneuvers. Plus, we dive into the fury of woke white women over Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle “great jeans” ads, labeled as eugenics-adjacent. Yet, they overlook Brooke Shields' iconic Calvin Klein campaigns, showing how hot, young women have long sold fashion.

Most of us spend the majority of our lives at work — but how often do we pause to ask whether our days are actually fun? In this episode of Hello Monday, host Jessi Hempel sits down with Bree Groff, a senior advisor at SYPartners and author of Today Was Fun: A Book About Work (Seriously), to talk about how fun, mischief, and human connection can radically improve our work lives. Bree's work centers around workplace transformation and employee experience. She's advised companies like Google, Microsoft, Pfizer, and Calvin Klein on how to build work cultures where people thrive. And her approach is surprisingly joyful. Jessi and Bree unpack: Why fun belongs at the center of great workplace culture How professionalism can strip us of our humanity — and how to get it back The emotional toll of over-identifying with our jobs How “Do Nothing Days” unlock creativity and innovation The radical power of micro-mischief and music in the workplace Friendship at work and why it matters more than we think This episode is for anyone feeling worn down by workplace norms or wondering if work has to feel so serious. Bree offers fresh, practical strategies to build a work life that's more joyful, more connected, and yes, more productive. Continue the conversation with us at Hello Monday Office Hours!

Like a supermarket, major airports are laid out and configured to try to get you to spend money while you are there. Listen and discover how they do it and when you are most likely to open your wallet at an airport. https://www.neatorama.com/2015/06/11/12-Behind-the-Scenes-Secrets-of-Airports/ How many times have you used "therapy-speak" to descibe someone - words like toxic or narcissist or psychopath? It's a handy and very descriptive way to talk about someone – but there are potential problems with doing it. Those words are often used by psychologists to describe serious conditions that most of us are not equipped to diagnose. And there are other bigger concerns which you will hear about from my guest, Isabelle Morley. She is a clinical psychologist, couples therapist and a contributing author to Psychology Today. She is also author of the book called They're Not Gaslighting You: Ditch the Therapy Speak and Stop Hunting for Red Flags in Every Relationship (https://amzn.to/40xjTUr) Fun and work are a bit like oil and water – at least in many workplaces. But maybe if work was more fun, people would do better work, stay at their jobs longer and improve the quality of their lives. So says my guest, Bree Groff. She is a leading expert in company culture and a senior advisor at the global consultancy SYPartners. Her clients have included leaders at Target, Pfizer, Microsoft, Calvin Klein, NBCUniversal, and Alphabet. Bree is author of the book Today Was Fun: A Book About Work (Seriously) (https://amzn.to/4kwSklg) Listen as she explores ways to incorporate more fun at work and why it is such a great idea.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2025/07/23/jose-arroyo-in-conversation-with-sam-shahid-director-of-hidden-masters-the-legacy-of-george-platt-lynes/ George Platt Lynes is arguably the most significant artist in a long and distinguished line of great 20th Century queer photographers of the male nude which includes George Hoyningen-Huene, Horst P. Horst, Clifford Coffin, Robert Mapplethorpe and Bruce Weber. All in some sense worked in the interstices of fashion, portraiture, art photography and the nude. Yet though Platt Lynes is at least their equal, he is arguably the least well known, a situation Sam Shahid aims to rectify in his gorgeous new film, HIDDEN MASTERS: THE LEGACY OF GEORGE PLATT LYNES. Sam Shahid is Creator Director, Principal and president of Shaid/Kraus & Company, a full branding, advertising and design agency founded inn 1993. Before that he was Creative Director of in-house advertising for Calvin Klein in the 1980s, did work for Abercrombie and Fitch in the 90s that still inspires today (some of the catalogues have become much sought-after collectors' items). In the aughts he worked as Creative Director of INTERVIEW magazine and he's since edited dozens of books of photographs by Bruce Weber and Herb Ritts. He knows about images, and he puts that knowledge to use in his first film, HIDDEN MASTERS: THE LEGACY OF GEORGE PLATT LYNES. In the accompanying podcast, we talk about how Platt Lynes was at the centre of practically every current of modernism in America and how Sam found the only existent film footage of the photographer. We ask why Platt Lynes is relatively so little-known today. Is it because his greatest work is of the male nude? Is there homophobia involved? Sam talks about how difficult it was to get a hold of the photographs, tensions between controllers of major holdings and the family; the reticence of institutions and individuals to make public such an incredible body of work that feels so contemporary. Isn't it time that a major museum undertake a retrospective of George Platt Lynes' work? What Sam doesn't say is what a ravishing film he's made, full of some of the most beautiful black and white images of men ever made. A film to see. It's currently on release from Picadillo Pics and available on demand from Amazon and other major digital outlets. José Arroyo

Bree Groff, an organizational change and culture consultant, keynote speaker, and author of Today Was Fun, joins me on the latest Business Minds Coffee Chat. Bree is one of today's leading voices on the future of work and company culture. Over the course of her career, she has guided executives at companies such as Microsoft, Pfizer, Calvin Klein, Google, and Target through periods of complex change.

In this conversation with Bree Groff, author of "Today Was Fun" and who has advised executives at Microsoft, Google, Target, and Hilton through periods of organizational change, shares specific observations about leadership blind spots in large corporations and offers practical frameworks for creating workplace cultures that drive both performance and employee satisfaction.   Key Insights: The Professional Conformity Trap: Large organizations often mistake formality for competence, creating environments where rigid presentation styles and corporate jargon become proxies for professionalism. This stifles the creativity and authenticity that both employees and customers actually seek. Organizations that are "unapologetically themselves" create magnetic appeal, as demonstrated by early Google's distinctive culture.   The Psychological Safety Framework: Effective leaders implement simple tools to humanize workplace interactions. The "check-in" method—where meeting participants rate their current state on a scale of one to five and briefly explain why—transforms team dynamics by creating context for behavior and establishing emotional safety that enables better performance.   The Micro-Change Strategy: Rather than pursuing wholesale transformation, leaders create meaningful cultural shifts through "micro acts of mischief" and connection. These range from rearranging office furniture to facilitate collaboration, to sending brief acknowledgment messages to colleagues. Such small actions compound to create environments where creativity and engagement flourish.   The Joy-Performance Connection: Organizations that measure employee satisfaction with the same rigor they apply to productivity metrics discover that optimizing for workplace enjoyment simultaneously addresses communication gaps, decision-making delays, and other operational inefficiencies. As Groff explains, "to optimize for joy and fun means you're automatically optimizing for all of the other things that make a business successful."   Leadership Characteristics That Drive Culture Change: The most effective leaders demonstrate two key traits: they avoid taking themselves too seriously while thinking expansively about possibilities. Groff cites Melissa Goldie, former Chief Marketing Officer of Calvin Klein, who maintained perspective with phrases like "there's no such thing as a fashion emergency" while pursuing ambitious creative projects.   This discussion provides concrete tools for leaders seeking to create environments where high performance and genuine workplace satisfaction reinforce each other, drawn from real-world applications across major corporate environments.   Get Bree's book here: https://shorturl.at/NMyys Today Was Fun: A Book About Work (Seriously)   Here are some free gifts for you: Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

Just made history look good"- Fans in frenzy as ATEEZ's Mingi Calvin Klein campaign underwear boxers.

Donald Trump reçoit depuis ce mercredi 9 juillet cinq chefs d'États africains à Washington. L'occasion d'ouvrir les discussions sur les liens entre les États-Unis et l'Afrique, malmenés depuis le retour du milliardaire républicain à la Maison Blanche. L'Agoa favorise depuis 2000 les exportations africaines vers les États-Unis. Un sujet sur lequel l'Éthiopie fait figure d' « étalon ». Elle a été suspendue de cet accord en janvier 2022, à cause de la guerre au Tigré, avec de lourdes conséquences pour le pays.  De notre correspondante à Addis-Abeba, L'Éthiopie pourra-t-elle un jour réintégrer l'Agoa ? La question est cruciale pour le pays, tant les conséquences de sa suspension se font aujourd'hui ressentir. Ahmed Soliman, chercheur au sein du think tank britannique Chatham House, revient sur l'impact de cette décision. « Les secteurs comme le textile, l'industrie du cuir, l'habillement étaient intégrés à l'Agoa via l'export, détaille-t-il. Ils ont été très touchés par une baisse de leur activité, alors que l'Éthiopie avait largement investi ces dix dernières années dans des parcs industriels. Ces parcs industriels ont subi des baisses d'investissement, et environ 18 entreprises étrangères ont cessé leurs activités en Éthiopie. C'est le cas de sociétés importantes comme PVH, qui détient la marque Calvin Klein ». D'après un rapport de la Banque africaine de développement, la suspension de l'Agoa a causé la suppression de près de 10 000 emplois. Durant de nombreuses années pourtant, l'accord commercial avait boosté l'économie éthiopienne, explique Biruk Haregu, chercheur en économie à l'université George Mason. « L'Agoa a été très bénéfique. L'Éthiopie s'en est servie dès 2012 pour développer les produits manufacturés, comme le textile, le prêt-à-porter, les chaussures, les produits en cuir, etc. Elle produisait ces biens et les envoyait sur le marché américain sans payer de droits de douane », rappelle le chercheur. À lire aussiLes États-Unis excluent Éthiopie, Mali et Guinée de l'accord commercial Agoa L'opportunité de chercher d'autres partenaires ? D'après Biruk Haregu, l'Agoa a également permis à 200 000 personnes d'accéder à l'emploi salarié. La suspension en 2022 a donc été un véritable choc. Mais pour Ahmed Soliman, cette situation et l'inquiétude autour du renouvellement de l'Agoa qui arrive à expiration en septembre prochain, pourraient aussi ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives en Afrique. « C'est aussi pour l'Éthiopie et d'autres pays africains, l'occasion d'explorer des alternatives, de diversifier leurs partenariats, et de montrer leurs capacités à négocier en tant que bloc », assure-t-il. Il rappelle également l'élément stratégique que représente par exemple la zone africaine de libre-échange. En 2023, 9,26 milliards de dollars de marchandises ont été exportées dans le cadre de l'Agoa, selon la Commission américaine du commerce international.

In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, host Dane Carlson sits down with Kevin Crowder, author of "Red Tape Empire" and publisher of Street Economics Daily, to explore the intersection of fiction and reality in economic development. Crowder shares the inspiration behind his novel, which tells the story of a woman returning to revitalize her family business while battling bureaucratic obstacles, a narrative rooted in his real experiences working in Miami Beach development. The conversation delves into pivotal moments like the 1986 Calvin Klein campaign that transformed South Beach from European catalog shoots to a celebrity fashion destination, illustrating how strategic exposure can unlock a city's hidden potential.

On Episode #124 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, we revved our engines for a fast-paced thrill ride and instead crashed gently into a velvet-lined existential romance with Bobby Deerfield, Sydney Pollack's 1977 film that stars a post-Godfather, pre-Scarface Al Pacino; looking like a haunted Calvin Klein ad and speaking at a volume normally reserved for guided meditation tapes. The post Episode #124 – Bobby Deerfield (1977) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

as this NBA season draws to a close, this week's program celebrates (belatedly) the 22nd anniversary of a troubled Calvin Klein accosting Latrell Sprewell in the middle of a Raptors/Knicks game. These days if you want to be led away in handcuffs, all you have to do is ask some reasonable questions at a press conference. In (slightly) less authoritarian times, however, far more effort was required. You had to purchase a court side seat at MSG and then risk strangulation at the hands of Latrell Sprewell and if you think this is pretext for another one of my, "you don't know how easy you have it," diatribes that frequently take up half the show, fear not because I have laryngitis. Or I no longer have the energy. If your grandparents built a bomb shelter, wouldn't it be just wonderful if the entire thing is filled to the ceiling with your defunct band's overstock.

We finally got our hands on the new season of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and it was worth the wait. The ladies didn't come to play this season. There was plenty of drama to go around. The new villain of this season was surprising but also not at the same time. Friendships have crumbled others have flourished. Plus it looks like we will be getting more episodes sooner than we think. The Diddy trial is going on now and lets just say that this man deserves the maximum sentencing. Kim Kardashian has been in Paris for her court appearances from her 2016 robbery case. And she made sure she looked better than ever. She is in full glam of course but she was also covered in diamonds. Almost like a nod to the robbers saying she's still here and you didn't phase her. I've been watching the new show Overcompensating and I suggest that you do as well. It's a typical college coming out story but done so well and is hilarious. Cooper Koch is the new face of Calvin Klein and he looks delicious. Chris Brown is being (rightfully) held in prison in the UK for an alleged domestic violence case that happened back in 2023. His tour starts on June 8th but his court hearing isn't until June 13. So sorry to his 3 fans that he won't be able to make his show. Lorde concert tickets went on sale and the demand is high. I guess people have been in a Lorde drought. I went to the Katy Perry concert in Vegas this weekend and it was everything that I wanted. But just 12 hours prior she was with Kim Kardashian in Paris at Lauren Sanchez's bachelorette party. Oh to be a guest at that party. Thanks for listening!

Her research is surfacing profound health and longevity benefits created through poetry, music, painting, and other arts. Susan recently collaborated with Ivy Ross, Chief Design Officer for Consumer Devices at Google, to co-author a fascinating book called Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us. We speak with Susan and Ivy about how they found their way into collaborating on the book, why we are “wired for art,” how practicing art can actually extend your lifespan significantly, and how they bring the ideas in their book into their work to reduce stress and help teams perform at their peak.

The episode, recorded live at Shoptalk in the Berns Communications Group media room, opens with Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc surveying a broad sweep of headline-grabbing developments in the retail world. They highlight continued uncertainty around recently imposed tariffs and resulting economic ripples, as major international trade disputes stoke inflationary concerns. Stock market volatility factors heavily into the conversation, with the co-hosts noting how certain retail sectors—particularly home furnishings and high-end goods—may feel the pinch as shoppers tighten budgets.  Target's declining foot traffic draws focus as the hosts weigh whether brand controversies or stiff competition might be to blame. Next meet Barrie Scardina, President, Americas Retail Services at Cushman & Wakefield, who brings a fresh perspective born of decades in the retail industry. Her vantage point on commercial real estate challenges the traditional narrative of a “retail apocalypse.” She explains how, despite headlines about store closings, overall U.S. vacancy rates are incredibly low—largely because new construction has slowed and new types of tenants (from wellness providers to entertainment concepts) are snapping up available space. Barrie describes a rising tide of “experiential” retail, with everything from boutique fitness and medtail services to immersive brand pop-ups fueling a renewed sense of purpose in physical locations. She underscores how mixed-use developments and adaptive reuse—especially of outdated mall anchor spots—are revitalizing communities and increasing foot traffic. By blending residential, office, dining, and retail, these centers offer a lifestyle-oriented experience that resonates with modern shoppers. Ultimately, Barrie's insights challenge conventional wisdom, suggesting that success in retail real estate hinges on tapping into evolving consumer demands, fostering a community connection, and creating spaces that balance function with memorable experience. AboutBarrie Scardina joined global real estate solutions firm Cushman & Wakefield as Executive Managing Director and Head of Retail Services, Americas, in November of 2019, leading brokerage teams to deliver optimal solutions to retailers and brands. In 2022, Barrie was elevated to the role of Regional President, Northeast, leading brokerage and services across all service lines. In 2023, she took on the challenge of President of Americas Retail Services, Agency Leasing and Alliances, partnering across office, industrial and retail to provide nuanced client solutions. Barrie is consistently focused on delivering value to clients by serving as a trusted advisor and incorporating data, analytics, and business valuation as part of her strategies. This unique approach to client relationships ensures that the firm delivers against client goals, optimizing outcomes and mitigating risk. Barrie is results-oriented and remains focused on transforming the real estate landscape by strategically driving revenue, identifying operational efficiencies, and growing profitability. Prior to her appointment at Cushman & Wakefield, Barrie spent three decades leading vital retail initiatives across a variety of world-class organizations, including Polo Ralph Lauren, Liz Claiborne, The Children's Place and Tory Burch.
