In luxury resale, customer relationships can span decades as buyers become sellers and vice versa. Geronimo Chala, Chief Client Officer at Rebag, explains how the brand has evolved from a simple buyout model into a comprehensive lifestyle platform that prioritizes community over transactions. From developing membership models that grow customer funds by 27% annually to creating experiences where customers connect with each other rather than just the brand, Rebag's approach demonstrates the future of loyalty in an omnichannel world.Curating the Re-Sale LifecycleKey takeaways:Community over transactions: Rebag shifted from viewing customers as individual transactions to building "a sense of community" where customers feel they "own the company" through membership and engagement models. - Geronimo [08:30]No channel separation: "There really is no separation between e-commerce and the physical stores" because customers naturally move between digital and physical touchpoints in their shopping journey. - Geronimo [05:31]Person-first data collection: Rather than focusing on brands and colors, Rebag captures customers' "internal self, their core beliefs" and lifestyles to create meaningful connections before any transaction occurs. - Geronimo [17:44]Curated solutions, not overwhelming options: When you have too much to offer, "we have to first get to know that customer, collect that data from them to then evaluate" which services will be most impactful, like "a concierge" at a resort. - Geronimo [23:29]In-Show Mentions:Charles Gorra (CEO and Founder, Rebag)Elizabeth Lane (Chief Marketing Officer, Rebag)Partnership with Macy's Inc. and Bloomingdale'sAssociated Links:Learn more about EndearCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

She is co-founder of Arte East and has contributed to and supported curatorial programmes for the Museum of Modern Art, Tate Modern, the Brooklyn Museum and the digital screen programme at Moynihan train station in New York.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Livia´s use of diverse mediums and explorative, nuanced approach uncovers the quietly radical and overlooked perspectives. By prioritizing  thoughtful exploration over spectacle, Livia enables us to engage more meaningfully with the world and its challenges. Be true to your values but know when to let go. Have humility, recognise that your perspective is just one of many, and be open to other possibilities. Explore interactive media and gaming, they have great potential and allow audiences to interact with stories in new ways. BEST MOMENTS “We need to create those spaces to have conversations between unusual suspects - between the banker and the artist.” “Creativity isn't just about output. It's about asking better questions, slower ones, ones that resist spectacle and lean into complexity.” “Livia´s work makes space for friction, for paradox, for multiplicity. She invites us to listen across disciplines, across cultures, across power structures, without rushing to resolution.” RESOURCES https://www.livalex.net @liviajalexander PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

If your subscription box planning feels chaotic, rushed, or downright stressful, this episode is for you. I know what it's like to be stuck in a cycle of packing this month's box while still scrambling to figure out what's going in next month's. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this Friday Fuel episode of The Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm sharing how I went from winging it to planning six months of boxes in just one hour. And how you can do it too. You'll hear the story behind my 6 in 60 Workshop, why this system works, and five simple habits that will help you plan ahead and curate with confidence. Five actionable steps to help you plan and curate your subscription boxes: • Theme First – Map out 6 clear themes or anchor ideas. • Product Partners – Make a running list of your favorite wholesalers, handmade makers, or past vendors. Revisit this list every time you plan. • Budget Guardrails – Know what you can spend per box – product cost, shipping, packaging – so you're not scrambling later. • Lead Times Matter – Give yourself 8–12 weeks to order. Custom items take longer. • Marketing – Think about how you'll tease the box. Each theme should have a built-in story you can share on social media. Join me for this episode and learn how planning ahead makes everything feel easier – from sourcing products and teasing themes to delivering a box your subscribers can't stop talking about.

Episode 483 / Steven CoxSteven Cox (b. 1986, Aberdeen) is a Scottish artist who lives and works in Edinburgh, Scotland. He holds a BA in Painting from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, University of Dundee, and an MA in Curating and Contemporary Art Theory from the University of Edinburgh.Cox is known for his vibrant abstract oil paintings, which explore materiality and mark-making. Over the past decade, he has developed a distinctive process involving the transfer of thick layers of oil paint onto canvas using plastic sheets. His work is deeply informed by an interest in the built environment, topography, and defaced surfaces, resulting in a visual language that oscillates between colour field painting and abstract expressionism. Cox is represented by Halsey McKay Gallery in New York. He has held numerous solo exhibitions internationally, including at Halsey McKay Gallery and A Hug From The Art World (New York, USA); Galerie Jérôme Pauchant (Paris, France); Annarumma Gallery (Naples, Italy); and Galleri Benoni (Copenhagen, Denmark). He has also exhibited in various international group exhibitions and artist residencies. His work has been featured in publications such as Modern Painters Magazine, ArtNews, ArtInfo, Wall Street International, Copenhagen Contemporary, Art F City, and Dust Magazine.More information: www.stevencox.co.ukInstagram: @studiostevencoxIn addition to his art practice, Steven Cox is the founder of Hunted Projects, a contemporary art gallery and curatorial platform based in Edinburgh. Established in 2011, Hunted Projects fosters unique collaborations with both emerging and established artists. Central to its ethos is a commitment to conducting in-depth interviews that provide insight into each artist's creative process and conceptual approach. These dialogues often inform the curation of site-specific solo and group exhibitions that amplify the artists' voices in compelling and innovative ways. More information: www.huntedprojects.comInstagram: @huntedprojects

In this episode of Tales From The Green Room -  mixed with joyous reflection, levity, and emotion - drummer extraordinaire Danny Luehring discusses the origins and evolution of Danny's Live Dead, a weekly Grateful Dead show hosted by him every Wednesday at Peri's Tavern in Fairfax, California. Danny shares insights into how the show started after the closure of  Phil Lesh's beloved Terrapin Crossroads, the challenges and rewards of curating a rotating lineup of musicians, and the significance of community and chemistry in live music. The hosts delve into Danny's musical background, memorable moments from his performances at Terrapin with his band, San Geronimo, and his first time playing with Phil Lesh, as he lauds the lasting impact of the Terrapin era. The conversation highlights the magic of live music, the depth of the Grateful Dead's influence, and Danny's future aspirations for his musical endeavors.HIGHLIGHTSYou see all the people that you know are ready for it and that trust you. That's the chemistry, too. I mean, chemistry, community…all those things. You can just line it up just right. And every night's different, but, my thing is I want it to be fucking amazing every night!I think music is a dimension. I don't know how else to explain it. Music is such a unit, like a dimension…the way it affects people, in general, like a blanket, on people, it just makes me feel like it's gotta be bigger than we think. And the Dead is probably one of the things that really got me thinking about that.My dad played guitar and I wanted to be a guitar player. So, for my fifth birthday he bought me an electric guitar and I remember it was at a costume party and I was dressed as a Denver Bronco and I put this thing on, and I broke the high string and it snapped back and hit me. And I thought it shocked me. 'cause it was an electric guitar. I mean, I was five. I was just like, oh my God. Drumsticks, please!Terrapin for me was something that a hundred percent changed my direction in life. I wasn't a Deadhead.I literally knew like two Dead songs. The first time I played at Terrapin I just kind of had to learn under fire. It is not like I didn't know who the Dead were, and they were obviously on my radar, I just wasn't, I wasn't ready until I I was in those circumstances. And then just in that… I don't know, it's hard to explain what happened. ~Danny LuehringLINKSDanny's Live DeadSan Geronimo BandPeri's TavernDanny's Live Dead Presents GD60!

By now, we've talked a lot about moving from being an implementer to someone who empowers others. You've started offering supportive services and built out a design system to help teams move faster. But if we're serious about scaling UX across an organization, we need to go even further.We need to make sure people have access to the right tools.Because even with a design system, your colleagues won't be able to do much UX work unless they have the means to run surveys, test ideas, analyze user behavior, or check accessibility. And if they're left to figure that out on their own, they'll waste time, pick poor tools, or give up altogether.Why a UX Tool Suite MattersIf you want your colleagues to take on more UX tasks themselves, you can't just leave them to it. You have to make it easy.Providing a pre-approved, easy-to-access set of tools helps in several ways:Saves time: No more researching dozens of survey platforms or testing toolsEnsures quality: You know the tools work and produce reliable resultsMakes training easier: Everyone is using the same toolset, so onboarding is simplerImproves collaboration: Results are more consistent, making it easier to share and interpret findingsYou're not just giving people tools. You're removing friction. And that makes adoption of UX practices far more likely.What Tools Should You Include?There's no single "perfect" toolkit. What works for one team may not work for another. But in general, you'll want to support the following areas:User ResearchSurveys, polls, and feedback tools. Things like Typeform, Google Forms, or UserTesting for more in-depth work.Data VisualizationTools to create personas, journey maps, or visualize research insights. Miro, UXPressia, or Figma's FigJam are good options here.Usability TestingRemote or in-person tools like Lookback, Maze, or even moderated sessions using Zoom and screen sharing.PrototypingFigma is the go-to for many teams, but simpler tools like Balsamiq might be better for beginners. Adobe XD or Axure offer more advanced options. Pick what fits your team's needs and existing skills.AnalyticsHeatmaps and behavior tracking via tools like Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, or Google Analytics.AccessibilityBasic checks can be done with free tools like Axe DevTools, WAVE, or Siteimprove.It doesn't matter whether you go with an all-in-one platform or mix-and-match a few niche tools. The important thing is that the tools are:Easy to learnAlready availableApproved through procurementClearly documented, ideally with how-to guides or short trainingMake It Easy to Say "Yes"The best way to roll out a toolkit is to make it dead simple for people to start using it. That might mean:A Notion page listing your approved tools, with links and login infoA 15-minute intro video explaining what each tool doesTemplates for common tasks (like a usability testing plan or survey structure)Short drop-in training sessions to help people get startedWhen you lower the activation energy, you increase adoption. It's that simple.You're Not Just Providing Tools. You're Shaping BehaviorThis isn't just about giving people tools. It's about shaping a new culture.By equipping others, you're embedding UX into their daily practice. You're helping them build good habits. And you're removing one more excuse for not putting users first.It's one of the clearest ways to expand your influence without burning out.Outie's AsideIf you run a freelance practice or agency, this applies just as much to you. But in your case, your "colleagues" are your clients.Most clients want to do the right thing. They just don't know how. By giving them a simple toolkit, you make it easier for them to run with your ideas even after the project is done.Here's what that could look like:Provide a shortlist of free or low-cost research tools they can use between engagementsCreate a reusable testing script they can adaptOffer a client dashboard (Notion, Trello, or similar) that links to helpful resourcesRecord a short Loom video showing them how to run a simple usability testThat small investment makes you more valuable and deepens the relationship. It shows you're thinking long-term. Not just about the deliverables, but about their ongoing success.Curating a suite of UX tools might seem like a small step, but it can have a huge impact. When you remove the guesswork and make it easy for people to do good UX work, you unlock progress across the whole organization.It's one more way you move from being the person who does UX to the person who enables it.In the next lesson, we'll look at creating a preferred supplier list - another essential resource that helps your colleagues stay on track, even when you're not in the room.

This week on Only Human, Jess and Karli get honest about the pressure pictures can hold—especially around moments like weddings, bachelorettes, and even just casual nights out with your best friends. They explore how social media has shifted the way we take and share photos, often uploading them to spark intrigue—whether through our appearance or the curated highlight reel we present as everyday life. From body image struggles to comparison spirals, they unpack how chasing the “perfect” photo can pull us out of the present moment. It's a vulnerable conversation about shifting our mindset and returning to what pictures were always meant to be: memories we actually want to keep.

In this inspiring episode of De Donkere Kamer Podcast, I speak with Clément Cheroux — one of the most respected photography historians and curators of our time. Formerly chief curator at MoMA in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Clément now leads the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson.We explore the unique role of the curator as a bridge between the artist and the audience, and why archives are far more than historical records — they are living sources of creative insight. Clément reflects on his decades-long relationship with photography, his obsessive image-viewing practice, and how he helps shape narratives around iconic and emerging photographers alike.This is a thoughtful conversation about trust, creative responsibility, and why — even in a world flooded with images — the act of truly looking still matters.Are you ready to use your summer with intention and elevate your practice as a photographer?Starting August 1st, I'm launching The Daily Frame — a 20-part mini podcast series (10 minutes a day) that dives into four pillars essential to your growth: creativity, entrepreneurship, mindset, and what's shifting in the photo industry.For just €8.88, you'll receive daily audio boosts that are short, sharp, and transformative.Why a small fee?

In this lively episode of the HR Famous podcast, host Tim Sackett welcomes Jonathan Reynolds, CEO and self-described "visionary" of Titus Talent Strategies. The two dive into an authentic, humorous, and deeply insightful conversation about leadership, culture, and what it really takes to build high-performing teams. Jonathan shares how he ended up with the "visionary" title, explaining the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) approach, where someone sets the vision (the "why" and "where") while others execute. He admits to having endless ideas but relies on his team to focus and execute effectively. Their discussion reveals Jonathan's unique talent for spotting raw potential in people, not just hiring based on skills, but on alignment with core values and the broader vision. They also explore Titus Talent's approach to talent strategy, going beyond traditional recruiting to focus on character, integrity, and cultural fit. Jonathan illustrates this with stories of team members whose lives he transformed, highlighting his “curator of talent” mindset. The episode explores the significance of work for younger generations, questioning the notion that a job must always feel deeply meaningful. Instead, Jonathan suggests that meaning often comes from the impact a role has on one's life and community. Titus showcases this by collecting personal stories from candidates 90 days after placement, emphasizing personal transformations over mere job titles or paychecks. Tim and Jonathan also tackle topics like remote work culture, philanthropic initiatives tailored to employees' passions, and creative interviewing techniques designed to gauge true motivation and cultural fit. The result is an honest, thought-provoking, and funny look at modern leadership and talent strategy — perfect for HR pros and business leaders alike.

Strategic Generosity: Collecting, Curating, and Championing Emerging Artists with Leslie Fram In this galvanizing episode of What's My Thesis?, host Javier Proenza is joined by Leslie Fram—collector, curator, marketing strategist, MFA educator, and tireless champion of emerging talent—for a sweeping conversation that summons the urgent need for innovation as well as entrepreneurial literacy among artists today. Fram's multifaceted career is an exercise in forecasting trends.  Formerly a dancer with the NYC Ballet, Fram studied art at Parsons, founded a fashion design company, became the Trends Editor of Cosmopolitan, obtained an MBA from Columbia University, segued into early Internet enterprises…  and eventually arrived in Los Angeles to engage with the city's emerging art scene.  Fram has cultivated a holistic approach to art, deploying business models from the various industries she has worked in.  Marrying aesthetics with infrastructure, community with commerce, her approach is unique. Fram speaks candidly about the genesis of her annual MFAs of LA exhibitions, a curatorial endeavor born from her desire to showcase under-recognized artists while removing traditional barriers to entry for collectors. She shares her exhibition experiments in transparency, scale uniformity, collector-artist collaborations and her belief in art's ability to generate new forms of economic and social engagement. Fram's insights are consistently bracing, generous, out-of-the-box and solution-oriented. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how artists can reclaim agency in the marketplace, why building relationships is central to sustainability, and how Fram herself continues to assist emerging artists on their respective trajectories to success.  Through direct mentorship, educating with her strategic marketing workshops, sharing information as a form of gallery-whispering, and many other modes, Fram is always advocating on the artists' behalf. Topics covered include: The economics of emerging art: why size, pricing and communal experiences matter Institutional resistance to business education in art schools: how Fram works around it Collectors:  her plans to ensure new collectors enter the marketplace, offering artists more opportunities for sales; understanding that they are artists' best supporters and how to build authentic relationships with them; perhaps, finding a different name for “collector” New models and formats: from artists' managers to new apps and technologies The future: art sales, blockchain royalties, and the power shift away from legacy galleries systems This episode is a masterclass in strategic vision, offered by someone who has not only built a practice around elevating others, but continues to do so with a rare mix of compassion, clarity and enthusiasm.        Guest Leslie Fram Follow her on Instagram: @lesfram Host Javier Proenza

Episode overview: Bernard Laurendeau has a mission: to stop African business leaders from asking for "patient capital." The Ethiopian-French management consultant, now operating from Tokyo, believes this standard pitch fundamentally misunderstands how global investment works and fails African markets. It's a contrarian stance from someone who's spent 15 years advising Fortune 50 clients and building institutions across three continents. After co-founding Arifpay, Ethiopia's first licensed Payment System Operator, and serving as senior advisor to Ethiopia's jobs creation commission, Laurendeau has repositioned himself in Japan's corporate heartland with Laurendeau & Associates and Enkopa Lab. From his Tokyo base, Laurendeau delivers what he calls "execution horsepower" to both African governments and Japanese corporations seeking African market entry. His client portfolio spans Google and Cisco to UAE's Ministry of Finance, applying strategic frameworks honed at BNP Paribas to emerging market challenges. Key insights: - On financial sovereignty: Despite supporting fintech innovation, Laurendeau advocates fiercely for African countries maintaining control over their financial services infrastructure. - On Japanese business culture: Japanese organisations bring uncompromising quality standards to everything—"there's no such thing as downgrading." Whilst this limits their market share compared to Chinese competitors offering multiple price points, it creates superior knowledge transfer opportunities for African partners. - On data-driven decisions: Investors don't want to "think long-term"—they want confidence in their decisions. Laurendeau's experience with big data analytics in Silicon Valley informs his approach to providing real-time, actionable intelligence rather than outdated World Bank reports. - On innovation vs infrastructure: African entrepreneurs risk becoming "lazy" by chasing trendy technologies whilst neglecting "boring" fundamentals - On institutional building: African countries need people willing to do "Gov-preneurship": embedding with governments to build policies, institutions, and strategic frameworks. Most leaders are "lonely" and welcome diaspora expertise, contrary to corruption narratives. - On execution over ideology: Management consulting in emerging markets requires output orientation, not retainer relationships. Clients want expert advice immediately, not consultant armies producing fancy acronyms and quadrant analyses. Notable moments: 1. Why Laurendeau switched from mechanical and aerospace engineering (ENSTA France, Georgia Tech) to management consulting after realising security clearance barriers would limit his US career prospects 2. His observation that at Africa-focused investment conferences in Japan, "people were talking about Africa...with no Africans in the room" 3. Reflections on Arifpay achieving profitability and dividend distribution, proving African fintech could build sustainable, high-performing teams rapidly 4. His frank assessment that young Africans show more "thirst" for knowledge and change than their counterparts in developed economies, despite having fewer resources The contrarian take: Laurendeau's most provocative insight challenges the "patient capital" narrative that dominates African investment discourse. Rather than asking investors to adopt longer time horizons, he argues African markets should provide the confidence and data quality that enables rapid decision-making. Image credit: Enkopa Lab

In this episode of Open Space(s) series, the Reviewof Democracy brings to your attention one of Europe's most ambitious cultural institutions: the House of European History. Founded by the European Parliament in 2017 in Brussels, this unique institution explores Europe's past from a transnational perspective and provides a platform for debating shared memory. The House of European Historycurates exhibitions, fosters debates, and research the shared European histories.Our guest is Simina Bădică, who is a curator at the House of European History in Brussels. Prior to her work at the House of the European History, she was a researcher, curator and the Head of Ethnological Archives at the Romanian Peasant Museum in Bucharest. She defended her PhD at the Central European University with a dissertation on the practices of curating Communism.Throughout our conversation, we explore the precise meaning of the term ‘house of history' and how this institution seeks to put this notion into practice. Forthe House of European History, the notion of open space has a crucial importance. On one hand, the building located in Brussels, initially designed in the 1920s as a dental hospital, invites visitors to engage more deeply with European narratives. At the same time, its strong digital exhibitionsencourages visitors and practitioners to interact with the content in creative ways. While rooted in the museum's physical space, the digital exhibitions speak to a broader, virtual European public.Exhibiting for such a broad audience inevitably raises complex curatorial questions. Thus, we discuss the challenges of curating information in 24 languages, the role of digital tools, and the multiple ways in which House of European History aims to connect with the local andinternational public. Nowhere is this curatorial balance more visible than in its exhibitions, both permanent and temporary.In our dialogue, we focus on two extremely relevant cases: Facts for Real: A History of Forgery and Falsification, a touringexhibition that presents falsifications throughout European history; and Presence of the Past: A European Album, a visually rich exhibition that rethinks how Europeans interpret their entangled histories through documentary photos.  Can a museum be both local and European? How cancurators respond to an increasingly political and social polarization without reducing complexity? What are the curatorial approaches that encourage the participants to ask nuanced questions about history? This conversation offers areflection of these question, based on the expertise of those working at the intersection of public history and museology. Public historians, museum practitioners, as well as scholars will definitely find this Open Space(s) episode extremely relevant.

Gage and Jordan then discuss trends in the food industry, including the growing demand for better-for-you options. The dives into Jordan's CPG experience, including his related online community, FoodBevy, which offers free resources for CPG entrepreneurs, and his corporate gifting service Joyful Co. The conversation then wraps up with Jordan sharing his mission of supporting founders to create a better world through sustainable business practices.Takeaways:The Insider Box features up to 15 emerging CPG products each quarter.It's designed for industry professionals like retail buyers, media, entrepreneurs, and investors, etc.The box addresses the challenge of trying new products you can't find locally without having to commit to large online orders.Curating products involves leveraging the large FoodBevy community and by soliciting community and Insider subscriber feedback and suggestions.Future features may include community voting on products to include in the box, customization to your quarterly box, and more.The focus is on shelf-stable products to simplify shipping logistics, though in colder months some harder-to-ship products, like chocolate, might be included.Vegan and gluten-free options are available and will have heavy overlap with the regular box.Shipping refrigerated or frozen products presents significant challenges.There's a growing trend for better-for-you candy options in the market.Building community is essential for the food industry.Supporting founders helps sustain innovative businesses.Leveraging past experiences can lead to new opportunities.A clear purpose can guide multiple business ventures so they work together, synergistically.Helping businesses stay in business leads to greater impact. Sound Bites:"I end up wanting to support all these founders, but not ever being able to actually try the product.”“So it's easy to just try one sample of a product before you decide whether or not to buy a whole case, and it gives people access to products all across the country that they can't find locally.”“I'm curating the boxes based on kind of where I see trends are moving and where, which like new categories are really growing, what people would be interested in.”“I feel like we have yet to see how big the better-for-you-candy market is going to blow up, because so many people have candy nostalgia and want their sweet treats, but they're getting tired of filling themselves with all the sugars and artificial coloring.”“I love doing things that help people live a better life and build like successful products and businesses.”“I'm always thinking, how can I help the larger community as well?”"I love helping founders be successful.""I'm in the business of keeping founders in business." Links:Jordan Buckner on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanbucknerInsider Box by FoodBevy - https://insider.foodbevy.comFoodBevy - https://www.foodbevy.comFoodBevy on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/foodbevyFoodBevy on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/foodbevyFoodBevy on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCenY4faC-_51rfYjWUgEGAQJoyful Co - https://joyfulco.com/…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radio Chapters:03:00 - Introduction to Food Bevy Insider Box05:51 - The Concept Behind the Insider Box09:12 - Curating Products for the Box11:55 - Unique Products and Trends15:04 - Future Features and Community Engagement17:53 - Vegan and Gluten-Free Options21:02 - Challenges of Shipping and Product Selection26:57 - Innovative Preservation Technologies32:32 - The Insider Box Experience38:21 - Building Community Through Food44:13 - Leveraging Past Experiences47:38 - Creating a Better World Through Support

In this episode of Flavors Unknown, I sit down with Chef Tony Nguyen, the Executive Chef behind the acclaimed Crustacean Restaurant in Beverly Hills—an upscale destination redefining Modern Asian cuisine with elegance and innovation.Born and raised in St. Louis to a Vietnamese family, Chef Tony shares how his upbringing, rich with cultural heritage and culinary storytelling, laid the foundation for his creative vision.
