Podcasts about creative directors

Grace Coddington has been working in fashion for longer than most of us have been alive. She started working as a junior editor at British Vogue back in 1968 and before that, she was modeling. Grace served as the Creative Director at American Vogue for nearly three decades and since stepping back from that role, has continued to work on shoots across many major publications.  Grace, now in her late eighties, joined Chloe in the studio for a conversation about her latest work Grace: Now, a massive yellow art book that compiles her favorite fashion shoots from the last decade. The spreads come from thirteen photographers, many of whom are Vogue regulars including Rafael Pavarotti, Annie Leibovitz, and Steven Meisel. In order to narrow down her selection, she printed out hundreds of images, laid them out on boards, and made a dummy book a la Vogue way: “I learned from the best.” When asked if her favorite shoots regularly fluctuate, Grace replied “One always loves the last one one did.” In the opening pages of the book, there is a handwritten tribute to her late friend, the fashion journalist Michael Roberts, noting this is her first major project without him in her career. “Michael was someone who could complete my sentences,” she told Chloe, “I'd known him since the early '70s, so he knew my life very well. He could write and he was a visual person too. I wanted to do it in my handwriting because I felt that I was talking to him. I adored him.” Reflecting on the 2009 ‘The September Issue' documentary, she thinks of it now as a distinct shift in fashion and her life. “Fashion has changed a lot since then,” she explained, “Fashion shows were getting bigger and bigger and what you saw was grander and grander. Clothes got much bigger.” Everything except the magazines Chloe offered. “I don't feel it's about more anymore. It seems obscene to be excessive, with all the things happening in the world.” Grace has often referenced Beatrix Miller's description of creating narratives in fashion photography as “enhanced reality”. Chloe observed that unlike her previous work, this book of shoots feels more like reportage than fantasy. “I love that you noticed that because that was my intention,” Grace said, noting that shift was intentional, “It's interesting to see the about turn from complete fantasy like Alice in Wonderland and all those stories I did with Annie. I'm not interested in the [clothes] you can't actually wear. Maybe we're not about fantasy anymore, sadly. Life is very real at the moment.” Her pivot away from the fantastical doesn't mean she isn't still inspired. Still loves to go extreme on big hair. She's going to fewer shows these days, but she still keeps up with the designers—especially Prada, who she said hits the button every time. The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

THIS IS DANCE + WHAT WE OWE EACH OTHER Dani Vitale is a Choreographer, Creative Director, + Movement Coach who by September of this year had already wrapped four films and two tours. But what stuck with me in this conversation wasn't the résumé, it was her definition of loyalty: to the dancers she leads, to the truth about hard jobs, and to the people she loves through loss. What do we actually owe the people around us, and what happens when we pay up? Here's what we're exploring: The one thing Dani never bent on when she started choreographing: dancer rates and conditions, because "once you lose the support from dancers... you can't gain that back" Why she pushes back on "choreographer vs. dancer" and thinks of it instead as one team doing one job: movement The gap between what happens on a brutal set and what gets posted after, and why she'd rather "report the facts" than romanticize the process This one's for anyone who's ever had to decide what they're actually willing to bend on, at work, on a team, or at home. Dani's answer is the same in every direction: tell the truth, and show up. Watch the full episode here.

A direct translation can be accurate and still creatively dead. Stu Davison, Creative Director at RWS, joins the Cultural Intelligence Podcast to show us what happens to a big creative idea when it has to cross a border, and why the adapted version doesn't always have to be identical to the original. His distinction between translation and transcreation says it all: translation carries the word, transcreation carries the idea. Creative work lives in nuance, rhythm and cultural references. Get that wrong and your big idea doesn't just lose impact, but it can actively damage your brand. Stu also tackles two questions every creative is sitting with right now: what's the one thing AI will never do in the creative process? And what's the most expensive mistake a global brand can make with AI? Spoiler: it's signing off on a global campaign without a single person from the local market in the room…

The Hard Truth About Becoming a Creative DirectorMost creatives think the creative director title is the ultimate creative job. It's usually the opposite. The higher you climb in your design career, the less your job is about design, and that catches a lot of talented people off guard.In this episode, I talk about what the creative director role really involves. I cover why great design skills stop being enough at a certain point and what you need to build to keep moving up. I draw on 40 years as a creative executive and a lot of coaching conversations with designers and art directors stuck at that exact ceiling.In this episode, you'll learn:What creative directors actually spend their days doingWhy your value shifts from execution to leadership, strategy, and business fluencyThe "Up or Out" reality and how ageism plays into creative careersWhy most promotions happen before you get the titleHow visibility and perceived leadership shape who gets promotedWhy frustrating corporate jobs can be "getting paid for your education"Why leadership skills carry across industries and creative execution skills often don'tHow AI is pushing creative value toward judgment, strategy, and tasteKey takeaway: The path to creative director is bigger than becoming a better designer. You need to lead people, work your way through organizations, and build trust at higher levels. That's the real job.If this episode helped you, please follow the show and leave a rating or review.

 As operational energy efficiency improves, attention is increasingly turning to embodied carbon—the emissions associated with extracting raw materials, manufacturing products, transporting them, installing them, and, ultimately, dealing with them at the end of their useful life. That puts materials and material innovation firmly at the centre of the conversation. Jonathan Mountfort, Creative Director at Autex Acoustics, has more than two decades of experience across design and manufacturing, with a career spanning mechanical engineering, product design, materials innovation, and acoustics. At Autex, he leads a team across design and engineering and has contributed to recycling technologies, product development, and the company's broader sustainability journey. In this episode, Jonathan shares a particularly interesting perspective from the intersection of product design, manufacturing, and architecture—three areas that increasingly need to work together if we're going to reduce the built environment's carbon impact. This podcast is brought to you in association with Autex Acoustics, proud sponsors of our 2026 Sustainability series of podcasts.

The best design in healthcare is the kind you never notice. When it works, a patient feels safe before a clinician says a word. When it doesn't, trust wears away one small friction point at a time.Jamie sits down with Mallory Phillips, creative director at Your Health. She led the creation of the company's logo and now helps shape how its teams learn. Mallory trained in advertising design at the Savannah College of Art and Design, and she argues that design is far bigger than logos and brochures. It covers forms, instructions, onboarding, the words staff choose, and the moment a clinician steps into a patient's home.In this episode:Why patient experience rarely fails because of one big mistake, and how a hundred small friction points do the damage insteadHow in-home care flips the rules: you're a guest in someone's home, so trust has to be earned differentlyWhat Chick-fil-A's "my pleasure" and Airbnb's "home away from home" can teach healthcareThe science of readable design, and why a confusing door handle is the designer's failure, not the user'sThe story inside the Your Health logo, from a handwritten signature to a plus sign that puts the patient at the centerIf you've ever wondered why some care feels personal and some feels like paperwork, this conversation answers it. You'll also come away noticing the small details that make people feel seen. www.YourHealth.Org

Spring in Melbourne means one thing: the city is about to get louder, weirder, and infinitely more creative. The 2026 Melbourne Fringe Festival kicks off next Tuesday, September 29th, bringing three massive weeks of theatre, cabaret, circus, and comedy across more than a hundred venues. This year's theme is ‘Turn Towards the Heat’—a challenge to lean into artistic risk, lean into raw ideas, and step away from safe, cookie-cutter entertainment. QFWFQ by Gregory Nussen Winner of ‘Best Solo Show' and the ‘Sydney Fringe Exchange Award' at the 2025 Hollywood Fringe, with an additional four nominations including a BroadwayWorld LA nod for ‘Best Solo Show'. A surrealist labyrinth that stretches time and space. Inspired by Italo Calvino's ‘If On a Winter's Night' a Traveler, this razor-sharp, absurdly funny and deeply personal show breaks all genres and has no fourth wall. Join Gregory Nussen as they rummage through the power and peril of storytelling, growing up Jewish and queer, the genocide in Gaza, and the art that saves your life. QFWFQ neither begins, nor ends. Lord of the Flies  It was a game… wasn’t it? A gripping, contemporary encounter with a timeless story. In this fresh, highly physical staging of Nigel Williams' adaptation of Lord of the Flies, award-winning director Steven Mitchell Wright (MEDEA: Out of the Mouths of Babes, Ghosts) leads an ensemble of performers through a visceral retelling of William Golding's literary classic.  Play turns to ritual. Loyalty becomes leverage. Fear redraws the map. In creating their own world, they expose the truths beneath ours: the impulses we carry, the systems we defend, and how little it takes to break them.  Bold, thrilling and deeply human, this production invites us to consider what rises when structure falls away. It asks us what happens when leadership slips into tyranny, fears birth myths, and the line between civilisation and brutality dissolves underfoot.  A gripping, contemporary encounter with a timeless story, one that speaks to the world we live in now as urgently, if not more urgently, than when it was first written. SLUGS It's about nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. We promise. An electro-punk concert, a play, a clown show, and a basement puppet nightmare all rolled into one from award-winning performance/comedy duo Creepy Boys (S.E. Grummett & Sam Kruger). Join us for a technocolour acid trip where you'll meet puppet Joni Mitchell, a two-person horse and every body part we have, and try to have a good time while the world burns. For tonight, at least, we are free. RHOMBOID The Melbourne premiere of Eric Jiang’s funny and touching play Rhomboid. Xavier meets Sebastian in high school. They instantly hit it off, but it doesn't take long for things to get complicated. Moving through university and into the real world, they miss each other, find new partners, have chaotic encounters, and make their own way. For Xavier, the allure of a promising future smashes into a murky reality – especially as a queer Asian-Australian. As he fumbles through relationships and unusual friendships, Xavier continues to orbit Sebastian, sometimes closely, sometimes from afar, infuriating him and craving him in equal measure as they gradually figure out what they mean to each other. Presented by fortyfivedownstairs, Margot Morales (And She Would Stand Like This, Antipodes Theatre) directs the Melbourne premiere of this funny and touching play by Eric Jiang (Lacuna, Griffin Theatre) about the unexpected forms love takes. The post Sat, 26th, Sept, 2026: Danny Delahunty, Creative Director & CEO, Melbourne Fringe appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

In this episode, Daithí is joined by Brendan Dunford and Clive Bright from Farming for Nature to speak about the role farmers can play in protecting and working alongside our natural ecosystems. Brendan and Clive explain how Farming for Nature are working to change the narrative around the relationship between farmers and nature and to create an inclusive space which gives farmers a voice and offers them the skills and resources to take action for the environment. As the Creative Director, having worked on many similar initiatives, Brendan has great insight into how best to incentivise and empower farmers to uphold their stewardship practices through providing them with the information, support, and funding whilst allowing them autonomy over their actions. Clive, an organic beef farmer and Farming for Nature Ambassador since 2019, is a great example of the programme's success as he speaks on how farming for nature, by introducing regenerative farming methods or creating habitats through ponds, has created a feedback loop of increased biodiversity, productivity, and profit on his farm.

B2B brands spend a lot of time trying to stand out, but taking a genuinely funny approach can still feel like a risky move. Luke Winter doesn't see it that way. For the Founder & Creative Director at Deadpan Agency, comedy works best when it starts with the same things as any serious B2B campaign such as audience pain points and business goals.In this episode, Amy Woods sits down with Luke to explore how comedy fits into B2B marketing, from the creative process behind Deadpan's campaigns to the challenges of getting buy-in for work that takes a few more creative risks. One of those campaigns happens to be for a client Deadpan and Content 10x share, Vector.Vector's comedy campaign became one of Deadpan's strongest case studies: a 33% lift in branded search, a 22% increase in demo requests, and a 44% increase in pipeline, all repurposed from a single shoot into dozens of pieces of content.Luke walks through exactly how that campaign came together, and what it took to get there.Find out:Why Luke thinks comedy has a proper place in the B2B sales cycle, particularly when a brand is trying to get on an audience's radarHow a very ordinary problem for their client, Free Agency, became the idea for the "Bullshit Filter" campaignWhat Luke looks for when deciding whether a comedy idea will make people recognize themselves in the campaign rather than simply watch a brand trying to be funnyWhy Deadpan gives clients several campaign directions across a scale from "fun" to more unhingedThe low-risk way for B2B brands to start experimenting with comedy before committing to a full campaignImportant links & mentions:Blog post about this episodeLuke Winter on LinkedInDeadpan AgencyVector Series A VideoDeadpan's Vector Case StudyContent 10xAmy on LinkedInAmy's book: (Content 10x: More Content, Less Time, Maximum Results)Amy Woods is the CEO and founder of Content 10x, a creative agency that provides specialist content strategy, creation and repurposing support to B2B organizations.She's also a best-selling author, hosts two content marketing podcasts (The Content 10x Podcast and B2B Content Strategist), and speaks on stages all over the world about the power of content marketing.Join thousands of business owners, content creators and marketers and get the latest content marketing tips and advice delivered straight to your inbox every week https://www.content10x.com/newsletter

Turning an idea into a shared vision for a game, and keeping hundreds of people moving in the same direction, is at the heart of game development. In the latest episode of AnsweRED Podcast, we invited two members of our Cyberpunk 2 team, our VP, Game Director, Gabe Amatangelo and Creative Director, Igor Sarzyński to explore the creative process behind game development together with our hosts, Tabletop Games Manager Paweł Burza and Art Director for Project Hadar Paweł Mielniczuk. Drawing on their experiences with Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty, Gabe and Igor take us behind the scenes of how ideas are shaped, challenged, communicated, and eventually brought to life by teams across different disciplines.

In dieser Episode von Behind the Story begrüßt Gastgeber Wolfgang die Positionierungs- und Personal-Brand-Rebellin Sandra Walzer am digitalen Lagerfeuer. Die Folge zeichnet eine faszinierende und oft unkonventionelle Heldenreise nach, die tief in Sandras Biografie blickt: Von ihrer introvertierten Kindheit in Karlsruhe, in der sie sich als kleines Mädchen lieber mit Büchern verkroch anstatt mit anderen draußen zu spielen, über frühe Rebellionsversuche (wie grüne Dr. Martens mit Stahlkappen) bis hin zu den schmerzhaften, aber lehrreichen Dynamiken in der Schulzeit. Besonders prägend war hierbei der Satz eines Mitschülers („Dich mag hier niemand, du machst es ja immer anders“), der für Sandra erst eine Last, im Rückblick jedoch ein wichtiger Befund und Wendepunkt war. Im weiteren Verlauf geht es um ihren Einstieg in die Werbeagenturwelt im Jahr 1997, den Aufstieg zur Creative Director, das Erlernen von Anpassungsstrategien („beige Jeans“ und langes Bleiben im Büro) sowie den bewussten Schritt in die Selbstständigkeit mit ihrer Agentur Confedication im Jahr 2010. Ein emotionaler und tiefgreifender Wendepunkt in ihrem Leben war zudem ihre jahrzehntelange, leidenschaftliche Verbundenheit zum Karlsruher SC (KSC) sowie zum Stadionmagazin, die erst durch die Pandemie und den Blick hinter die Kulissen des modernen Profifußballs in eine radikale Entfremdung und den bewussten Bruch umschlug. Der zweite große Schwerpunkt der Episode widmet sich dem aktuellen Wandel durch künstliche Intelligenz und dem radikalen Umbruch in der Kommunikations- und Kreativbranche ab den Jahren 2023/2024. Genau aus diesem disruptiven Moment heraus gründete Sandra 2025 Rebelhood. Sie erklärt im Interview eindrücklich, warum echtes Personal Branding niemals glattgebügelt sein darf und warum Ecken, Kanten sowie die oft unterdrückte Emotion der „Wut“ die wichtigsten Treiber sind, um als Persönlichkeit sichtbar zu werden. Es geht um die Frage, warum das Anpassen an den Mainstream zwar sicher, aber unternehmerisch wie persönlich ein Irrweg ist und wie man den Mut findet, zu seiner eigenen Unangepasstheit zu stehen. Eine inspirierende Folge über Haltung, Identität und die Frage, wie viel Rebellion ein gutes Business im Zeitalter der Uniformität wirklich braucht.

Philanthropy takes heat for being slow to move money, and learning usually gets the blame. Katherine Haugh, founder of the Convive Collective and a learning partner to some of the largest climate-focused philanthropies in the US and Europe, thinks that critique is fair but aimed at the wrong target. She and Eric dig into what's actually slowing foundations down, why learning so often becomes a way to dodge a decision, and the two things a foundation needs to genuinely learn.Episode Highlights: [00:14:15] The real reason money moves slowly: control and ego, not learning [00:18:00] Why learning has such a good brand, and how that hides dysfunction [00:19:45] Learning as a way to dodge a hard decision [00:26:30] The two non-negotiables: leadership commitment and psychological safety [00:32:35] Why foundations won't publish their failures [00:44:30] The "healthy life" metaphor for becoming a learning organizationNotable Quotes: Katherine Haugh [00:15:50]: "I actually think that the reason why that is, is a function of control and ego." Katherine Haugh [00:18:00]: "Learning has a great reputation.

Technical knowledge and creativity are essential to becoming a successful interior designer, but another skill can determine whether a great idea gains traction: communication. In this ICYMI episode of I Hear Design, we revisit an article by Rachel Robinson, Creative Director and Design Principal at Ted Moudis Associates and Co-Chair of IIDA NY's In-Studio Committee, examining why firms are placing greater emphasis on communication training for emerging designers. From explaining the “why” behind design decisions to presenting confidently in front of clients and translating creative concepts into business value, Robinson explores how storytelling, mentorship, practice, and structured training can help junior designers become stronger collaborators—and prepare them for future leadership roles.

Dave Boehne was pretty much born into the surf world, with saltwater in his blood and foam dust in his hair. The son of legendary surf parents, shaper Steve Boehne and world-champion tandem surfer Barrie Boehne, Dave grew up around the family's iconic Infinity Surfboards in Coastal Orange County, CA, riding everything he could get his hands on and shaping his first board at 15.He went on to compete professionally in both shortboards and longboards before becoming one of the early athletes and innovators pushing stand-up paddling (SUP) into a legitimate high-performance sport, both in the surf and in racing. And this hasn't stopped.But Dave's impact goes way beyond competing. He's a surfer, shaper, designer, entrepreneur and creative force who helped drive Infinity's evolution into high-performance short boards, long boards, all forms of “alternative” craft, SUP surf and race boards, and foiling; and he rips on them all.Today, Dave runs Infinity as the second generation CEO and as Creative Director and he isn't just preserving the family legacy… he's pushing it forward.Dave talks story about the evolution of the Infinity brand, growing up in the middle of an iconic surf family and the legendary surf community of South Orange County, CA and being surrounded by legends and influences across the world of surf.Stick around for the Brown Blurr himself, Captain Speed Freak… Dave Boehne.0:00 – Introducing Dave Boehne5:35 – Growing Up in the Boehne Surfing Family12:10 – The History and Legacy of Infinity Surfboards19:05 – Finding His Own Path in the Surf Industry26:15 – Competition, SUP Racing & Life as an Athlete33:20 – Becoming a Surfboard Shaper and Designer40:35 – How Athlete Feedback Improves Board Design47:50 – Experimentation, Innovation & Testing Equipment55:10 – Running a Family Business and Building Infinity1:02:25 – How Surfing and Paddleboarding Have Evolved1:10:05 – Longevity, Creativity & Staying Motivated1:18:20 – The Future of Board Design & Final Reflections

Spencer Striker, PhD is a digital learning designer, producer, and Professor of Digital Media Design at Northwestern University in Qatar. For more than two decades, he has led international creative teams producing award‑winning learning experiences across mobile games, interactive narratives, VR, and podcasts—supported by major funders including the NEH, NSF, QNRF, QRDI, and the Doha Film Institute. His work, released entirely free for anyone to use, includes Chaos Corp | Troll Farm Simulator, the History Adventures series, Dr. Sara | Disease Detective, and Plague of Athens | VR. His latest project, Al-Khwarizmi: Father of Algebra & the Algorithm, is a 30-episode, AI-animated docudrama series on the life of the ninth-century mathematician, funded by the Doha Film Institute and released free worldwide in summer 2026.Striker's practice sits at the intersection of digital learning design and university‑level production teaching, spanning 2D/3D design, sound, web, podcasting, AI tools, and “vibe coding.” Before academia, he served as founding Creative Director of Galxyz, a Silicon Valley learning‑game studio backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Emerson Collective, and co‑founded the Media Arts & Game Development program at the University of Wisconsin‑Whitewater. His work reflects a core conviction: learning sticks when it is experienced—and relevance and context are the engine of game‑based learning.Links:https://www.spencerstriker.com/https://www.spencerstriker.com/al-khwarizmi Hosted on Acast.

Sandy Gould has spent 36 years studying where people's "superpowers" come from, and his answer is simple: the thing that makes you different is the same thing that lets you create what no one else can. In this conversation with Eric Ressler, the longtime GLAAD advisor and author of the forthcoming book Interlightening explains why conformity feels safe and isn't, and how the same rules that grow an individual grow an entire organization.Episode Highlights: [00:03:00] From tech recruiting to GLAAD: a career built on unleashing people [00:05:30] Why the "why" leads to the what and the how [00:08:30] How one word, "should," quietly holds people back [00:15:30] Your organization is just one big person [00:16:30] Why success is the scariest moment for a team [00:27:00] Why your team should see you fightNotable Quotes: Sandy Gould [00:19:25]: "The difference engine is what drives every human, every group of people, and our life and our world. If you and I were exactly the same, this conversation would be nothing." Sandy Gould [00:24:15]: "'I don't know' is a very powerful, honest thing to say. But honesty is more important. First, establish trust, then invite them in to help you figure it out."Resources & Links:GLAAD — glaad.orgSandy Gould on LinkedIn — linkedin.com/in/sandy-gould-077354Sandy Gould on Instagram — instagram.com/spidersandyInterlightening: Unleashing Your Superpowers — forthcoming on AmazonHosted by Eric Ressler, Founder & Creative Director of Cosmic, with co-host Jonathan Hicken, Executive Director of the Seymour Marine Discovery Center.

Your business has been around long enough to earn trust.But the audience that got you here is changing. And the next one may not care about the things that made you successful in the first place.So what do you do? Keep playing it safe until relevance quietly erodes? Or panic, rip up the brand, and leave loyal customers wondering who the hell you have become?This week, Beatrice is joined by Michael König — who has led design and product inside heritage brands including Bang & Olufsen and Royal Copenhagen — and Owi (Mateusz Owsiany), CEO and Creative Director at MPM Team, who builds immersive digital experiences for brands reaching newer audiences.They get into how to evolve from a position of strength, test a new direction without betting the whole business on it, move beyond a founder-led brand, and make sure creative, commercial, and customer reality are all in the same room.Because your next audience should not have to come at the cost of the one that trusted you first.-04:05 The risk of waiting until change becomes urgent13:35 Build your next audience from a position of strength18:00 Panic rebrand or a gradual evolution?29:00 When customers trust the owner, not the business38:40 When a new audience needs its own offer or sub-brand49:00 How to turn strategy into changes your team can deliver01:12:30 Your first 90 days of brand evolution-5 episodes to binge on:Good at Everything, Priced Like It with Christine Slocumb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brand strategy in action⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with Cam Varner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Repositioning to $10M⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with Nicole Downer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Your Business Might Be Unsellable⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with Allie Beckmann and Alexandria Seydel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Repositioning Without Losing Customers ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠with Amy Heidersbach & Melissa Eaton-Reach out to guest speaker Michael König: Website | LinkedIn | Heritage Playbook Reach out to guest speaker Owi (Mateusz Owsiany):⁠⁠⁠⁠Website | LinkedIn | Instagram | TikTokFollow Beatrice Gutknecht:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

On today's episode, we welcome Ann Williams, Founder and Creative Director of Yearly Co. — a Nashville-based fine jewelry brand built around celebrating life's milestones with timeless, solid 14k gold jewelry.Yearly Co. started with a family tradition. Inspired by receiving gold bangles to mark meaningful moments, Ann took a metalsmithing class and began making jewelry by hand in her garage during naptime. What started as a second-career experiment in 2016 has grown into an $11.5 million direct-to-consumer business that remains 100% founder-owned and self-funded.In this episode, Ann shares how she turned a difficult-to-size product into a competitive advantage, why Yearly Co. offers bangles in 11 sizes, how she built loyalty around milestones and repeat purchases, and why she has chosen to grow without outside capital. She also opens up about being diagnosed with breast cancer at 37, keeping the business moving during treatment, and how the experience changed the way she thinks about leadership, motherhood, business, and the moments that really matter.Such an inspiring founder story.

Meet Tori Coleman, Aaron Llavore and Amalia Sofia Navarro, three of the people building the San Francisco 49ers, live from our Melbourne meetup.In front of a packed room during the 49ers' first-ever NFL game week in Melbourne, this panel pulls back the curtain on what it actually takes to work in US sport, and how three very different paths led to the same organisation.Tori is the Senior Coordinator of Youth Football Development and Community Programming. She started in education technology, moved through PR and comms in the athlete and agency space, did PR for the NBA's Sacramento Kings, and worked in college sport before landing at the Niners, proof that a non-linear start is a strength, not a setback.Aaron is the Creative Director, a decade into the 49ers, leading a "small but mighty" team of six that touches everything creative in the organisation. He got his first sports job as an assistant creative at the Golden State Warriors, from a post on Craigslist, then built his craft from the ground up.Amalia works in strategy and impact across the 49ers Foundation's international programming. A comms major from a family of educators, she got her foot in the door through community relations at the Oakland A's and the 49ers museum, working at the intersection of sport, philanthropy and education.Lots to look out for in this episode, including how to turn an "unconventional" or non-sport background into your edge when breaking in, and how roles inside a major sporting body keep evolving, so getting in is the start, not the finish line.If you liked this ep, give these a go next:#237: How Josh Growden launched The Kicking Consultant#277: Journey from Event Coordinator in Melbourne to NFL Stadium Director with Eray Saban#243: Living the dream at the NFL, IOC & Brisbane 2032 Olympics with Tom Hickey Want a job in sport?

Every leader in the social impact space has failures. But we rarely talk about them. We brush over them, reframe them, paper over them. Michelle Moog-Koussa thinks that's a mistake. She built the Bob Moog Foundation from $15,000 and a stack of Bob's crossed-out notebooks into a 20-year institution, and she runs it like a scientist: write down the idea, test it, and record an honest "didn't work" before turning the page.Episode Highlights: [00:00:00] Why the social impact sector refuses to talk about failure [00:04:00] How 60,000 CaringBridge messages gave birth to a foundation [00:17:00] "You're swinging a miniature bat" and the reframe that changed everything [00:23:00] Running a nonprofit like a scientist: hypothesis, test, iterate [00:25:30] The sector embraces the scientific method, except the failure step [00:31:30] Why fear of failure keeps organizations frozen in planningNotable Quotes: Michelle Moog-Koussa [00:27:15]: "Mistakes are the portals to discovery." Eric Ressler [00:25:30]: "The sector at large does not accept failure with grace." Michelle Moog-Koussa [00:18:05]: "I don't have a miniature bat.

She believes careers in new media last when they're rooted in real connection, so she helps creator entrepreneurs define their why and build deep roots accordingly.

Her mission is to help this industry build businesses that breathe life into people's identity rather than claiming it.

The restoration and rerelease of Unzipped—the ur-fashion documentary— with Janus this September has had the Vogue office abuzz for months. Ahead of its run in theaters The Run-Through co-host Nicole Phelps—who says the film was her “gateway drug to fashion,” met with inimitably charming Isaac Mizrahi, designer, performer, the film's star and since June 2026, Target's first Creative Director at Large, to talk supermodels, and not mixing work with love—or Ambien.   “It was a very good moment in fashion,” conjectures Mizrahi about the continuing draw of the film. “I bet if you had substituted some other fabulous, funny people in that movie, it would've been good. Mm. You know? It was just a good moment. But specifically in my oeuvre, it was almost inevitable to tell a story of that kind, because I don't know if their fittings were as hilarious as my fittings, you know? …  I think that's another thing, the interaction of [those women, those supermodels, and these designers. You know, it really was, it was photogenic. You know, the camera really loved this subject.”  Nonetheless, Mizrahi has more of a bird's-eye perspective on the impact of Unzipped than most of the rest of the world. “So as to Unzipped and it changing my life, you know, I don't really feel it changed my life,” he said. Mizrahi identifies his transition from yeshiva to the Performing Arts High School as one of the tipping points  in his life. Another was landing a job at Perry Ellis. “I have to tell you, my dear, that was an incredibly inspiring place and it would've changed anybody.”  Unzipped had a similar effect on fashion documentaries, setting a bar that has rarely been reached since.  The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Every nonprofit leader has told themselves the same story: if funders just understood us, they'd fund us. Eric and Jonathan make the uncomfortable case that misunderstood impact is usually a you problem, and that what looks like a storytelling gap is almost always an identity gap. Close it, and funding, talent, and trust all get easier.Episode Highlights: [00:01:15] The identity impact gap, defined [00:04:05] Why the gap quietly starves your funding [00:08:20] Why a widening gap can be a sign of growth [00:12:50] The three pillars: identity, expression, perception [00:30:00] "That's a you problem" [00:38:40] Why trust isn't built on your 990s Notable Quotes: Eric Ressler [00:04:20]: "I would urge orgs to figure out: if there was only one thing that everyone could know us for, what might that one thing be? And do a really good job beating that drum."Jonathan Hicken [00:25:20]: "It has to start with a deep understanding of self. Before you can get to expression, before you can get to perception, you have to know yourself."Resources & Links:Seymour Marine Discovery Center — seymourcenter.ucsc.edu Cosmic — designbycosmic.comWho are you Becoming? https://designbycosmic.com/podcast/who-are-you-becoming/ Who Are You Becoming — designbycosmic.com/podcast/who-are-you-becoming/ Hosted by Eric Ressler, Founder & Creative Director of Cosmic, with co-host Jonathan Hicken, Executive Director of the Seymour Marine Discovery Center.

So many women's clothing companies are all about fast fashion: trendy products that are made to sell, but not to last. Today, we're talking to the founder of an apparel company that's focused on making quality clothes that feel good to wear, and live in your closet long-term. Ramy Brook Sharp is the Founder, Co-CEO and Creative Director of the women's clothing brand, Ramy Brook. In 2010, Ramy set out to create the perfect timeless top to complement her jeans and jewelry. Unable to find what she wanted, she designed it herself, and within six months, her pieces were picked up by Bergdorf Goodman. Ramy Brook is now available in over 250 boutiques, at major retailers like Saks, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale's, and the company has a flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York City. Today, Ramy walks us through the incredible origins of the brand, how she's had to adapt the business to meet the demands of major retailers and social media platforms, and what we can expect to see from Ramy Brook in the coming years. Highlights:From Advertising to Fashion (2:25)The $1,000 Top That Started It All (4:00)Getting Into Bergdorf and Learning Fast (6:50)Sexy, Sophisticated, Timeless (11:00)Building a Multi-Generational Brand (12:55)From Tops to Head-to-Toe (14:10)Marketing in a Crowded Space (16:10)E-Commerce and the Omnichannel Mix (18:00)Leading People Through Change (21:10)What's Next for Ramy Brook (25:25)Links:Ramy Brook Sharp LinkedInRamy Brook LinkedInRamy Brook WebsiteICR LinkedInICR TwitterICR Website Feedback:If you have questions about the show, or have a topic in mind you'd like discussed in future episodes, email our producer, joe@lowerstreet.co
