GOOD TROUBLE—Troublemakers is a magazine about society's misfits. At least from the Japanese point of view. A bilingual, English/Japanese magazine, Troublemakers came about as a way to showcase people who were different, who stayed true to themselves, or about the long road those people had taken to self-acceptance.The founders, editor Yuto Miyamoto and art director Manami Inoue, were inspired by a notion that Japanese culture perhaps did not value those who strayed too far from the herd.The magazine has been a success not just in Japan but globally, and perhaps mirrors a trend we see in streaming, for example, of a general public acceptance of universal stories from different places—gengo nanté kinishee ni. Think, especially, of the success of Japanese television and movies like Shogun or Tokyo Vice or Godzilla Minus One. Of Japanese Pop and anime and food. It's an endless list.But Troublemakers is more than just a cultural document. It is proof of something shared, a commonality of human experience that exists everywhere. Speaking to Yuto and Manami, you sense a desire—and an invitation—to connect. With everyone. And that's, ultimately, what Troublemakers tries to do.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

In this week's edition of the AC Podcast, we use the Nucleus Embryo program as a springboard for a deep dive into some of the most pressing ethical questions of our time.

Is there anything wrong with using technology to enhance human life? What are the promises and perils of human enhancement? Join us as we wrestle with these questions.

In our Part two we welcome back our glamorous friend, Crystal Kung Minkoff—Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, digital entrepreneur, and co-host of the Humble Brag Podcast. From Beverly Hills to Aspen, no topic is off-limits as they peel back the designer layers of fame, friendship, and family. Housewives Highs & HindsightsCrystal candidly opens up about her time on RHOBH, revealing she felt embarrassed to fully lean in and often tried to hide from the spotlight. She reflects on how the experience taught her the power of owning her narrative—something she now embraces in podcasting and digital ventures without shame. Hollywood & Bling Empire GossipPatrik digs into Crystal's social circle, including Christine Chiu of Bling Empire, who almost joined RHOBH before choosing Netflix glitz instead. Crystal shares how family health issues kept Christine off Bravo—and why she respects the decision not to exploit real-life struggles for ratings. Parenting in the Digital AgeThe conversation turns heartfelt as Crystal explains why her kids still don't have phones—only Apple Watches—and how social media's toxicity drives her protective instincts. Patrik counters with hilarious stories of tracking their foster daughter's location and the day she vanished…only to FaceTime them from a restaurant in Aspen after hopping a private jet with Nicolas Cage's son. Runway Rundown & Reunion FashionsThe group plays their signature Runway Rundown, dishing on RHOBH reunion looks. Patrik roasts Garcelle Beauvais'pearl mesh dress—revealing Bravo forced a last-minute wardrobe change after Sutton wore a similar color, canceling Garcelle's custom Swarovski-beaded nude gown Pol' spent nights creating. Crystal admits she prefers understated elegance and reveals her own reunion look: a deep green lace cocktail dress by Yannick Machado, paired with an enormous 30-carat Indian ring (sadly, just on loan!). Celebrity Style & Designer DramaThey also weigh in on Erika Jayne's infamous gold mesh gown by Marco Marco—especially Erika's dismissive “some designer” remark that sparked outrage in the fashion world. Patrik shares insights about dressing Beyoncé, Cardi B, and the tricky politics of costume and design. Personal Revelations & Body ImageCrystal bravely discusses her history with an eating disorder and body dysmorphia, explaining how showing cleavage on TV was a huge step in reclaiming her self-esteem. Pol' and Patrik shower her with praise, reminding her she's every bit a supermodel. Coffee Reading MagicThe episode crescendos with Pol's Armenian coffee reading. He sees unresolved tension with someone close—a betrayal that split a friend group. Crystal resonates instantly, recalling a fallout that divided her social circle. Pol' guides her through a ritual to release the energy. Crystal is visibly moved, ready to set herself free. Final Thoughts & LaughsAs the episode wraps, Crystal marvels at how accurate the reading felt and jokes about her “simple” life—while wearing a 30-carat ring and couture.

Stop Treating High Point Like a Buying Trip. Do This Instead… High Point Market isn't just a place to shop for furniture. It's one of the most underused marketing tools you have at your disposal.

Style Spotters do exactly that, turning tours, vendor visits, and social media coverage into a curated, client-attracting showcase of their aesthetic and expertise.

A LIFE OF SLICE—What happens when a pastry chef meets a magazine editor in Brooklyn? No, this isn't the setup for a joke that perhaps three people might ever find funny. But…what do you get when a pastry chef meets a magazine editor in Brooklyn?You get the start of a media brand and a movement and a community. In other words, you get Cake Zine.Started as a post-pandemic stab at reconnecting with the world, Cake Zine is the result of that meet-cute. Tanya Bush, the pastry chef, and Aliza Abarbanel, a magazine editor, took their love of sweets and have created a magazine that is kind of like what you might get if a literary magazine developed a sweet tooth.And threw great parties.Not just in Brooklyn, but in LA, and London, and Paris. And that might become, who knows, not just a new sort of literary salon, but an actual salon. Or cake shop/wine bar. Or a publisher.Tanya and Aliza have plans—perhaps too many—but for now, they are content with creating a smart and tasty magazine that blends fiction, essays, and recipes in a lovingly-blended, skillfully-layered cake.And. They. Have. Plans.But they are also realists and wise enough to know that you can't rush a soufflé. Lest it collapse. Much like these tortured, yeasty metaphors.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

In just seven short years, Charaf Tajer, the founder and creative director of the brand Casablanca, has proven that the fashion world has room for a multitude of sartorial expressions. His unique blend of old-money style, colorful prints, sporty inspirations and architectural touches has managed to recalibrate the language of contemporary fashion. With roots in Paris and Morocco, Charaf's path to fashion wasn't linear. He cut his teeth in the nightlife scene as the art director of Paris' iconic venue Le Pompon, but was also a creative consultant for Supreme, once upon a time collaborated with Virgil Abloh. But was also a co-founder of the streetwear brand Pigalle before launching Casablanca in 2018. A label born not from trend-chasing, but from a desire to distil elegance, memory, and escapism into clothing. Casablanca isn't just a fashion brand; it's a sensibility. A world where terry cloth tailoring meets Art Deco curves, and where every collection feels like a postcard from a sun-drenched far-flung destination. But behind the silk shirts and saturated palettes lies a precise vision – one that blends nostalgia with modernity and elevates leisurewear into a refined statement of intent. Now, the brand is entering a new era. With two flagship stores about to open – one in Paris and another in Los Angeles – Charaf is bringing his universe into physical form. It's a bold move, but then again, Casablanca was never about playing it safe. As you'll hear, Charaf is a designer who leads with instinct, impeccable craftsmanship, and a sociological eye.

Alyssa Wasko Stein is the founder and designer of Los Angeles–based womenswear brand Donni. Stein has had entrepreneurial tendencies since childhood, but she didn't always know her love of fashion would take her down the designer path. She studied a different part of the fashion industry (retailing and consumer sciences) and secured a coveted internship in Chanel's visual merchandising department during college. But after her father's passing at the beginning of her sophomore year, Stein sought out a creative outlet for her grief. She began handmaking and selling scarves, naming the business Donni Charm after her father, Donald. Stein slowly grew her side business while continuing to work at Chanel after graduating, but after some early wholesale success, she decided to focus on Donni Charm full-time. She moved operations to Los Angeles and rebranded to simply Donni. Most significantly, though, she stumbled into designing ready-to-wear clothing, as she wanted specific pieces to style with her scarves. While Stein had no prior clothing design experience, it came naturally to her, and she surprised herself with a full line of 30 SKUs within four weeks, laying the groundwork for the Donni we know and love today.
