Why Rejection Hits So Hard and How to Stop Letting It Define You Have you ever been blindsided by a betrayal so complete that it did not just shatter your marriage — it shattered the story you believed about yourself? One moment you thought you knew who you were, who he was, and who God was to you. And then the truth came out, and suddenly nothing felt certain anymore. In this episode, Leslie sits down with Emmy Award-winning television producer, author, and Chief Creative Officer of Joyce Meyer Ministries, Ginger Stache, co-author of the new book Healing the Wounds of Rejection. Ginger shares with remarkable honesty how the discovery of her husband's long-hidden pornography addiction brought her to her knees — not only in her marriage, but in her identity and her faith. Together, Leslie and Ginger unpack the specific lies rejection plants in a woman's heart, why feeling the pain of rejection is not weakness but proof you were made for love, and how God meets women in the darkness with healing they never saw coming. Key Takeaways   Rejection Attacks Your Identity, Not Just Your Relationship When Ginger discovered her husband's pornography addiction, she was not only stunned by the betrayal — she was stunned by how quickly it rewrote her story about herself. The questions came fast: What did I do wrong? Why am I not enough? Am I even lovable? Leslie points out that this is exactly what rejection does in a destructive relationship — it does not stay in the marriage, it moves into the marrow of who you believe you are. The critical first step is recognizing that what he chose is not a verdict on your worth. It is not a statement about you. The Lies Rejection Tells Are Predictable — and They Can Be Named and Refused Ginger identifies the most common lies rejection whispers: I will never be accepted. There is something fundamentally wrong with me. I cannot become who God made me to be because I am too broken. The key distinction she draws is between being rejected — which happens to every human being, including Jesus himself — and living rejected, which means allowing those lies to become part of your identity. Naming the lie is the first act of resistance. Replacing it with the truth of God's word is how the healing begins, one lie at a time. Feeling the Pain of Rejection Is Not Weakness — It Is What It Means to Be Human One of the most powerful moments in this conversation is Ginger's confession that she was ashamed of how hard rejection knocked her down — because she thought her faith made her stronger than that. Research confirms that the brain processes social rejection through the same pain pathways as a broken bone. God created you for love and connection, which means the ache of rejection is not a character flaw. It is the cost of being someone who loves. Leslie adds her own story of unexpectedly sobbing in a parking lot after being turned away at a pickleball court — and recognizing it as an old childhood wound asking to be seen and healed. Self-compassion, not self-criticism, is what opens the door. The Story of Leah Tells Us What Healing Actually Looks Like Ginger and Leslie turn to the story of Leah in Genesis 29 as one of the most honest and hope-filled pictures of what it looks like to move from rejection to rest. Married to a man who openly preferred her sister, Leah spent years trying to earn love through her children. But by her fourth son, something shifted. She stopped saying, Surely he will love me now, and said instead, This time I will praise the Lord. Healing did not look like Jacob finally choosing her. It looked like Leah choosing God as her source — finding that his love was not conditional on what her husband did or did not give her. That same shift is available to you. You Have a Choice — and Reclaiming It Is Where Healing Starts One of the most empowering threads running through this conversation is the call to reclaim your ability to choose in the middle of circumstances you did not choose. You did not choose his addiction. You did not choose his betrayal. But you can choose whether to believe the lie or the truth. You can choose faith over feelings that feel more real right now. You can choose to risk loving again because, as Ginger says, not loving anyone is a far worse fate than being hurt while loving. Leslie draws on the story of Joseph — thrown into slavery and into prison by rejection at every turn — as a biblical witness to the truth that rejection does not have to define you. The path forward begins with that one small, courageous choice. Personal Invitation If this conversation is stirring something deep in you — if you recognize the lies Ginger described, if you have been carrying the weight of rejection in your body, your identity, and your faith for longer than you want to admit — you do not have to keep doing this alone. Leslie's Walking in Core Strength community is a group coaching experience designed to help you stay rooted in truth, respond with wisdom and compassion, and stop losing yourself to patterns that are costing you everything. This is your invitation to take a step toward the woman God made you to be. https://leslievernick.com/strong Closing Encouragement You were created by a God who does not reject. He pursues. He sees. He binds up wounds. And on the days when rejection has knocked you so far down that you can barely whisper the words — God, do you even love me? — he is already answering. You never have to beg for my love. It is always here for you. Whatever has been done to you, whatever lies have taken root, whatever chapter of your story feels irredeemable right now — God is not finished. He is working layer by layer, step by step, in ways you cannot yet see. And one day, you will look back and know that he had his hand on you the entire time. You are not alone. You are not unloved. And rejection does not get the last word. God does.

In the second episode of our Big Shift series, Emma sits down with Phil Camarota, Chief Creative Officer at Flywheel, to explore how fragmentation shows up in a brand's creative experience.Phil explains why fragmentation is more than disconnected teams or KPIs. It can also break the brand story consumers experience across creators, retail media, ecommerce, stores, and the shelf. He breaks down why consistency does not mean repeating the same message everywhere, how physical and digital retail should play complementary roles, and why the store still matters as a place for reassurance, immersion, and relationship building.The conversation also covers creative commerce, AI's impact on real-time commerce, what Total Commerce means in practice, and why brands should take a closer look at how their integrated agency teams are actually collaborating.This episode builds on ideas from The Big Shift: From managing to mastering fragmentation. Read the full whitepaper for the complete story.

The CPG Guys are joined in this episode by Phil Camarota, Chief Creative Officer at Flywheel, the commerce acceleration division of Omnicom.Follow Phil on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-camarotaFollow Flywheel online at: http://www.flywheeldigital.comPhil answers these questions:1. Walk us through what it actually means to be Jury President — how much of it is scoring work versus managing a room of strong personalities with different creative instincts?2. Before you even got to Cannes, what did the prep work look like — building a "shared language" or judging framework with your jurors before deliberations began?3. Creative Commerce is a relatively young category compared to Film or Print — did that shape how you approached defining what "great" looks like this year?4. You've talked about expecting "AI tension" going into this year's judging — where did that show up in the room, and how did the jury navigate it?5. With jurors from Singapore to South America to Europe, how do you reconcile genuinely different regional definitions of great commerce creativity into one Grand Prix?6. Were there moments where you, personally, had a strong point of view on a piece of work but had to hold back because — as you put it — you're "not the arbiter of taste"?7. Commerce creativity spans everything from in-store experience to retail media to end-to-end digital journeys — how do you judge fairly across such different formats and channels?8. You're Global CCO at Flywheel, one of the biggest players in commerce creativity — how did you handle the optics and reality of judging a category so close to your day job?9. Were there conflict-of-interest guardrails Cannes puts in place for Jury Presidents whose own agencies or clients might have submitted work?10. Did anything from your Flywheel vantage point — pattern-spotting across retailers and brands — sharpen or distort your lens as a judge?11. What did last year's Grand Prix winner, VML's "Preserved Promos" for Ziploc, teach you about what separates good commerce work from truly great work — and did that shape your criteria this year?12. Now that it's behind you, what's one thing about the jury process that surprised you, and what would you tell next year's Creative Commerce Jury President to expect?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.

Critterz was one of the first feature films built primarily with AI, but OpenAI abruptly shut down Sora, the very tool its director was relying on. Nik Kleverov, Chief Creative Officer of Native Foreign, joins Rapid Response from the Cannes Lions festival to make the case for why AI isn't killing Hollywood, it's about to reinvent it. He breaks down why 2026 is year zero for mass adoption of AI in the film industry, and why human talent is more in demand than ever when great storytelling is the goal. Kleverov also confronts the darker side of the technology: deepfakes, scams, and the blurring line between real and generated, and offers a surprising possible solution.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Toño Noguera, que es un hermanito, me dice “oye pana, la verdad es que nunca te han hecho un Martínez a ti y hay muchos amigos que les gustaría que seas tú el invitado de la noche”. Al principio no estaba muy convencido con la idea, pero después de idas y venidas y de que me insistiera en que hay quien quiere escuchar un episodio así (lo cual todavía no sé si es cierto), le dije: 'Bueno, vamos a darle, Toñito'."Les voy a decir qué hicimos en este episodio: Toño toma el micrófono de nuestro podcast bar de siempre, mientras yo paso entonces de estar como anfitrión, a ser el invitado.Y juntos viajamos desde mis primeros tiempos en Venezuela con el Oro en Young Lions, hasta los días en DDB, A&C, al presente con todo el activismo de Rainbow Lobster. Sin dejar por fuera ni, mis seis meses transformadores en la India, ni este Cannes 2026, ni los consejos sabios y oportunos de mi papá.No sé muy bien si este episodio tenga algo de interesante para muchas personas, pero bueno, yo lo dejo hasta acá. Y ojalá que los pocos que lo escuchen, disfruten de este episodio -un poco extraño para mí- mientras les mando un abrazo, porque estamos vivos.Visítanos en https://www.elmartinez.net/ y suscríbete en Spotify, Apple Podcasts o donde lo estés escuchando ahora.

Él es el Chief Creative Officer de Grey México, después de haber liderado agencias en Colombia, Costa Rica y México a lo largo de más de 25 años de carrera, incluyendo Leo Burnett y VMLY&R. En Cannes 2014 ganó el primer Grand Prix de la historia de Colombia. El año pasado fue reconocido por tercera vez como el Mejor Creativo de México en El Ojo de Iberoamérica. Este año es jurado de Film en Cannes Lions 2026.Último día de Cannes Lions 2026, seguimos con nuestra agenda apretada de 4 episodios en una misma jornada y hoy le toca a Film. Si uno cree que Titanium es la categoría reina, la verdad es que sabemos que Cannes deja lo mejor para el final y film, que es lo último que se premia en esa última noche, sigue estando en el corazón de todos, como esa categoría que vino, de hecho, a establecer las bases del festival. Así arranca el Festival de Cannes en la historia, con Film, y tuvimos ese momento mágico y lindo de encontrarnos con un amigazo a quien no habíamos tenido el placer de tenerle como invitado acá, en El Martínez, e incluso, esa fue una de las cosas que hablamos. Por eso es que es un capítulo que tiene que ver con una historia personal de alguien que se ha transformado y que ha pasado por varios países de Latinoamérica, siempre destrozando la Liga de una manera muy particular, con un punto de vista muy punk y muy rebelde, pero dándole la vuelta cada vez que llega a una agencia del mercado en el que el se decide posicionar. Así que bueno, visitamos un poco su vida personal, pasamos por ¿qué es lo que significa de pronto llegar como migrante a un lugar y construir una familia?. Conversamos también de muchas cosas que tenemos en común, como por ejemplo una amiga hermosísima, que además es mi socia, Saskia Niño de Rivera, que es una gran activista en México, la conductora del podcast Penitencia, y una gran amiga que quiero un montón y a quien él le ayudó a establecer su ONG Reinserta, cuando él mismo diseñó el logo de esa fundación. Así que hagan clic en el enlace y amárrense a sus asientos porque ya ven que este será un episodio cargado de emociones.Visítanos en https://www.elmartinez.net/ y suscríbete en Spotify, Apple Podcasts o donde lo estés oyendo ahora.

Leigh Batnick Plessner is the chief creative officer of Catbird. Before landing at Catbird, Plessner graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in English literature and anthropology, and she worked at various DC coffee shops and as a cocktail waitress before landing a job in the children's room at renowned DC bookstore Politics and Prose. At the bookstore, she was eventually promoted to sidelines buyer, selecting everything for the store other than books. While in this position, she had the opportunity to go to various stationery shows, which prompted her to start a stationery brand of her own called Jezebel. In 2005, she met the founder of jewelry brand Catbird, Rony Vardi, at a stationery trade show. Soon after, she started working at the brand's storefront in New York. Eventually she transitioned out of running her stationery brand and into working full-time for Catbird. She grew with the company and now holds the role of chief creative officer, where she's responsible for the visual identity of the brand, including Catbird's partnerships with talent like Clairo and Phoebe Bridgers.

Day 4 on the Croisette, and the Cannes Festival of Creativity is in full swing. The Cannes Cut series is proudly presented by System1.Vanessa Chin, VP Marketing at System1, opens with a live field dispatch: which campaigns are actually scoring at Cannes, what the new Creator Effectiveness Playbook says about briefing for emotional impact, and why Dunkin' took gold while Kit Kat posted one of the highest out-of-home scores System1 has ever recorded.She also tackles the question the industry keeps circling - is AI the creative revolution everyone promised, or just a better production tool?Then the feature interview.Orlando Wood, Chief Creative Officer at System1, argues that dull advertising is structural, not incidental.Media fragmentation, measurement frameworks calibrated for the wrong school of advertising, and rules-based creative thinking all work against artistry before a single brief is written. Drawing on advertising history from Toulouse-Lautrec to Bernbach, and neuroscience from Ian McGilchrist, Orlando maps the war between showmanship and salesmanship - and explains why applying one school's measurement philosophy to the other destroys the work.The episode closes with the Buzz Cut: the sights and sounds from the attendees. Ty Heath from LinkedIn shared her perspective on life inside the B2B Lions jury room, WARC APAC's Rica Facundo on the three ceilings of social, Hannah Riberdhal from Brand Marketing Sweden on what this year's Cannes sounds like compared to four years ago, and two Young Lions competitors fresh off a 24-hour brief.Timestamps0:00 Opening - Vanessa Chin (System1) on Cannes testing, AI, and the Creator Effectiveness Playbook12:23 Feature interview - Orlando Wood on why dull advertising is structural, not a talent problem23:06 Fluent devices, coherence vs consistency, and the living brand33:08 The history of showmanship and salesmanship - and why creators may be bringing artistry back37:11 Measuring creative: why salesmanship measurement destroys showmanship work40:10 Post Pod debrief41:18 Buzz Cut - Ty Heath (LinkedIn B2B Institute), Rica Facundo (WARC APAC), Hannah (Brand Marketing Sweden), Young LionsReferencesSystem1 https://system1group.com/Advertising Principles Explained (course with Sir John Hegarty) https://advertisingprinciplesexplained.com/System1 Creative Dividend Report https://system1group.com/the-creative-dividendSystem1 Creator Effectiveness Playbook https://system1group.com/the-creator-effectiveness-playbookLemon: How the Advertising Brain Turned Sour - Orlando Wood (book) https://system1group.com/lemonThanks for keeping us in your ears, stay sharp everyone.

We also delve into the significance of mentorship for new agents, underscoring that the responsibility of guiding clients through critical real estate transactions necessitates a foundation of experience and collaboration.

Join us as we explore the intricate narratives that drive the real estate industry forward through the lens of Davison's extensive experience and innovative thinking. The episode features an in-depth conversation with Marc Davison, a figure whose career spans the realms of music and real estate marketing. The host, Bill Risser, illustrates the profound impact Marc has had on rethinking branding within the real estate industry. The dialogue takes listeners through Marc's early years in New York City, where he was steeped in a culturally rich environment that fostered his creativity. He reflects on how this diverse upbringing shaped his understanding of branding, leading him to recognize the power of emotional connections in marketing. Marc articulates the stark difference between rational branding—characterized by logical appeals—and meaningful branding, which resonates with consumers on a deeper emotional level. This fundamental insight is particularly relevant for real estate professionals, as it underscores the need to create narratives that engage potential clients beyond mere transactions. As the conversation unfolds, Marc shares anecdotes from his transition into real estate marketing, detailing the founding of Thousand Watt and its mission to innovate within the industry.

He is also a Senior Casting Producer at Cornwell Casting, a reality television casting company focused on finding dynamic casts across reality TV genres. With over 15 years of entertainment experience, Chadwick was a member of the production staff for 2 Broke Girls and a casting producer on Joe Millionaire, Farmer Wants a Wife, and The 1% Club. In this episode… The most memorable ads do more than capture attention — they make people feel something worth repeating. In a landscape of forgettable creative, how can brands turn simple products into stories people actually want to share? Creative strategist and casting producer Chadwick Wilson says to start with the audience, not the product. Strong brand content comes from emotional relevance, authentic storytelling, and a clear understanding of the message's audience. Brands should avoid casting too wide a net, use humor only when it fits the product, lean into nostalgia or identity when the story calls for it, and make founder-led content feel human instead of overly polished. The goal is to create content that feels personal, memorable, and culturally resonant. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris chats with Chadwick Wilson, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Ace Renegade Productions, about creating ads and content people remember. Chadwick shares why brands need emotionally resonant storytelling, how founder-led content builds trust, and what marketers can learn from viral ads by Manscaped, Peloton, Aviation Gin, and McDonald's.

Nada Hesham is the founder and Chief Creative Officer of 40Mustaqel, an independent design studio born and based in Cairo, Egypt. Recorded live at All Flows Festival, this conversation moves between identity, rebellion, methodology, and the deep craft of building a studio that refuses to be a factory. ~Nada grew up in Cairo — an intense, visually chaotic city she describes as a continuous love-hate relationship — in a family of doctors and engineers. She found her way into graphic design not through natural talent, but through the logic of typography: a discipline where obsession and method matter more than innate spark. That belief — that creativity is earned through rigour rather than gifted from above — has shaped everything from how she builds her team to how she approaches a client brief.Over five years, 40Mustaqel became the go-to studio for Arabic script-led design across the region. But Nada is already restless with that success, pushing her studio into new territory: sculptures, exhibitions, publishing, and a deeper interrogation of what it means to decolonise design beyond the script's surface.Key takeaways:Creativity built on method and obsession outlasts creativity built on talentCairo's visual chaos is not a limitation — it is a creative inheritance worth claimingThe research phase is where regional and cultural influence truly lives in a projectHiring small and intentionally protects the intimacy and quality that makes boutique studios thriveLeadership is orchestration — knowing who in your team holds which genius is the real skillDecolonising design is a process question, not just a visual oneBeing known for something is the first milestone; outgrowing it is the secondThe Trojan horse strategy — delivering what a client expects while quietly changing what they believe — is how cultural shifts happen Daring Creativity.

Brandon Lentino is a prominent creative executive in the social media and creator economy space, currently serving as the Chief Creative Officer (CCO) at Viral Nation, one of the world's leading social media marketing transformation agencies. His work focuses on bridging the gap between traditional brand marketing and the fast-moving "social-first" world of creators and influencers. Chief Creative Officer: Lentino oversees the creative direction for global brands, ensuring that their social presence isn't just "ads," but content that resonates with modern audiences (especially Gen Z and Gen Alpha). VN Studio: Following Viral Nation's acquisition of Eight Seven Media (a production agency Lentino co-owned), he helped spearhead the creation of "VN Studio." This internal hub focuses on high-speed content production, distribution, and monetization for athletes, celebrities, and brands. Strategy: He is a vocal advocate for "engineering UGC" (User Generated Content). His philosophy is that brand activations should be designed as "social engines" where the physical experience is built specifically to prompt sharing and digital engagement. Zillow & "Demure" Marketing: He led a viral 2025 campaign for Zillow featuring creator Jools Lebron, leveraging the "very demure, very mindful" trend to reach first-time homebuyers on social media. Super Bowl Coverage: In February 2026, he was a featured expert for ADWEEK's "Big Game Live Show," providing real-time analysis of Super Bowl ads, social sentiment, and creator-led marketing strategies. 7-Eleven "Summer of Sev": He oversaw the award-winning creative for 7-Eleven Canada, which used a digital-first approach to position the brand as a convenience leader for a younger, social-savvy demographic.Lentino often speaks about the "Hybrid of Tech and Humanity." He argues that while a strong tech stack (social listening, AI, and analytics) is necessary, it must be combined with human expertise to know when a brand should enter a cultural conversation without looking like an "outsider."

Josh Gross is an elite, award-winning creative executive known for building viral, culture-shaping campaigns that merge massive scale with genuine human soul. Having established himself as a powerhouse creative leader during a highly successful decade at Energy BBDO, he was appointed to oversee the newly integrated FCB Global / BBDO Chicago creative team following the major Omnicom network merger.In this role, Josh is tasked with unifying two of Chicago's most historic and distinct agency cultures, focusing on real-time, high-speed creative experimentation to keep major global brands culturally relevant.Key Career Highlights & Creative Philosophy:Scale with Soul: Josh operates under a unified creative vision to "do big things by scale, with soul." He rejects the idea that a campaign must choose between data-driven, massive reach and emotional depth, pushing his teams to find the golden intersection of both.

Nearly two decades after filming Somm, Jason Wise, Chief Creative Officer of Somm TV and Director of the Somm movies, has a deep view of wine in the media. Jason shares his perspective on what types of media moves the needle, how to get involved as a brand, the ever changing landscape of media itself. Detailed Show Notes: Update from the last 4 years: filming tons of food & wine content around the world, a couple theatrical releasesSomm TV: video streaming services, partners w/ wineries and wine regions, Jason founded it to not have to ask permission to film storiesA lot of people find Somm TV from YouTubeWine industry evolution (2010-2026): a lot more grapes and too much wine; beginner wine content no longer needed; market needs to sort a few things out; tariffs had huge impact on American wineries (some wineries were 20% Canada)Wine helps create more connection and conversationMedia filming rights have changed a lot, used to have a pay a place to film, now they are happy to be a part of itSideways worked because it was unexpected and was done on its own termsStreaming wars haven't helped media gain influence, only a few shows that have had an impact (e.g. - Game of Thrones, White Lotus); there's so much content, it's hard to break through, now niche is kingNiche segments sometimes just talk to their niche, don't bring in new audiencesDocumentaries tell stores people didn't know existedNetflix used to license shows, now they want to own everything, leads to less originality, just make what's worked beforeYouTube feeds media, creators build a following, then produce more standard mediaWine industry's role in the mediaNobody wants to watch commercialsHard to push media to do what you want it to doWine should be the drink to push in PR (e.g. - Chateau Angelus in James Bond films has had an impact)Wine cameos in movies can build awarenessWinery engagement with mediaInfluencers are like “maintenance,” believes their influence is waningGet the product in TV shows / moviesNeed the “magic” in the bottle, be known for something (e.g. - Taylor Swift and Sancerre, fans figured it out)Celebrity helps bring a platform if the product had good product-market fit (e.g. - Aveline and Cameron Diaz)Media effectiveness goes in cycle, what works changes over time and circles back; need to try 10 things for 1 to workBelieves regional marketing is criticalPodcasts are part of people's everyday routine and movies stick with you, TV is like the “bulk wine” of mediaWineries should put budget towards media, spread the money aroundMany wineries have exited sponsorships and are losing consumer awareness Hosted on Acast.

Matt Taylor is the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Tracksmith. He recently stepped down from the CEO role, which he held since 2014, to return his focus to what drew him to the brand in the first place: its creative expression.I recently sat down with Matt in Boston to trace the full arc of his journey, from a cold letter left at a hotel for IMG founder Mark McCormack, to embedding himself in top-tier college cross country programs for Chasing Tradition, to funding the early days of Tracksmith with an Usain Bolt iPhone game. We talked about how each of those pursuits helped shape the brand he eventually built, and also got into what has always set Tracksmith apart: narrative-driven storytelling, reverence for the history of the sport, and a refusal to be everything to everyone.This is a wide-ranging conversation about creativity, craft, entrepreneurship, and what it means to build something with genuine staying power that I've been waiting to have for a long time, and it did not disappoint. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed having it.Click here for complete show notes and sign up here to get the morning shakeout email newsletter delivered to your inbox every Tuesday.Music and editing for this episode of the morning shakeout podcast by John Summerford.

This week kicks off Star Wars Month, and your favorite hosts are diving deep into the life and career of Dave Filoni, the current President and Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm. The most pivotal moment discussed is how Filoni originally got hired by George Lucas in 2005: instead of just asking about animation skills, Lucas challenged him on the themes of "The Phantom Menace," specifically the "Duel of the Fates." Ashley praises Filoni for his dedication to continuity, noting that his projects rarely have the plot holes or contradictions that plague other parts of the franchise.Produced by: Limitless Broadcasting Network.For more info, merch, and all the other podcasts, visit: www.limitlessbroadcastingnetwork.comCheck out Ashley's Disney deep dives at: pixiedustfiles.wordpress.comFollow your new Disney besties on Instagram @pixiedusttwinspodcastFollow Dan, honorary third host of the "Pixie Dust Twins" Podcast, and King of the Manifestos: @Dantaastic on Instagram and YouTubeMentioned in this episode:Canvas & Crime: Turning True Crime into Quirky CharactersGet your own notorious shot glass or art print at www.canvasandcrime.com!

Jessie Randall is the cofounder and chief creative officer of the global lifestyle brand Loeffler Randall. Before she started her company, Randall began her career in advertising but, after a few years, made the leap into the fashion industry. Starting from scratch as an intern at Katayone Adeli, while also taking fashion classes, she then transitioned to Banana Republic, working as a junior designer. However, in 2005, alongside her husband, she decided to start her own footwear company, which quickly garnered recognition and expanded beyond shoes into the global success it is today. In 2007, she was awarded the CFDA Swarovski Award for Accessory Design, and in 2022, British Vogue dubbed the brand's Camellia heel “one of the best-selling bridal shoes in the world.” Currently, Loeffler Randall products are sold worldwide across retailers such as Nordstrom and Bergdorf Goodman as well as in its own digital and physical retail stores.

856 · I Just Got Off a Call With Disney's New CEO, Josh D'Amaro...Disney just named only its ninth CEO in more than 100 years, and days later, I found myself on a video call with Disney's new CEO, Josh D'Amaro.In this episode, I share what that on-the-record conversation revealed about Josh's leadership style, his Josh D'Amaro Disney CEO leadership vision, and his commitment to remaining accessible to fans and Cast Members even as his role expands. We talk about why so many people feel a personal connection to Josh, and how that authenticity shapes the way he leads.We also explore why the pairing of Josh as CEO and Dana Walden as President and Chief Creative Officer may be one of the most important structural decisions Disney has made since the Bob Iger era - and why this leadership design matters more than the title change itself.We discuss what this moment means for Disney Parks, storytelling, technology, Cast Members, and the Disney fan community, and why this doesn't feel like a simple succession, but the beginning of a more unified Disney.This is an honest, thoughtful look at the Josh D'Amaro Disney CEO leadership vision and why it could redefine how Disney shows up as one company, everywhere we experience it.

By the end of January, most of us have realized the truth: our resolutions didn't fail—we just never needed them. Instead of trying to fix ourselves (again), this conversation invites us to do something braver: get curious about who we already are underneath all the shoulds. Artist and designer Justina Blakeney helps us tune into what she calls “the tingle”—that quiet spark of delight, curiosity, and aliveness that knows exactly where we're meant to go. When we trust what delights us, we don't just decorate our homes—we redecorate our lives. For the good of the realm. - How to stop fixing yourself and start trusting what feels alive and true- Why delight, creativity, and “the tingle” are clues—not indulgences - How following what's good for you becomes good for your family, your work, and the world About Justina:  Justina Blakeney is a multidisciplinary artist, designer, and New York Times Bestselling Author. She is the Founder and Chief Creative Officer of the home décor brand, Jungalow® and the author of several design books including Jungalow; Decorate Wild! and The New Bohemians book series.
