Send us Fan MailChris Hobson, CEO of Rare Beauty Brands, home to Patchology and Kate Somerville, breaks down the business of beauty: the insight that turned Old Spice around, what it now costs to build a brand, how to handle dupes, and the metrics founders should track.Who is Chris Hobson?He started a clothing brand in college in Canada, then joined Procter & Gamble in brand management, running Scope, Folgers Canada, Old Spice, and Secret before an MBA and a career building brands. "As a brand manager, you get trained as sort of the mini general manager of your brand."How did he turn around Old Spice?By finding an insight instead of denying the brand's age. Research showed a woman would borrow her partner's deodorant from almost any brand except Old Spice. "We came up with this funny tongue in cheek positioning of Old Spice as the last bastion of masculinity." The brand went from a distant fifth to third in Canada, and the positioning went global.What makes consumers loyal to a beauty brand?Product quality first, emotional connection second. "When you get that magic of the consumer insight married to really high quality product, that's the foundation of a brand."What insight drives Patchology and Kate Somerville?Two very different ones. "The insight for a Patchology consumer is I want a moment of joy... the act of putting on the mask slows me down from my crazy day." The Kate Somerville consumer is buying certainty from a clinic with 20 years and 250,000 facials behind it.Should beauty brands chase trends?Only in ways authentic to the brand, though Hobson is candid about the pull. "The science is sort of suspect, but hey, it's a $10 million opportunity. How do we not do it?" Brands lose themselves when they go wholesale trend focused.Why did Patchology stop marketing its science?Because consumers buy results, not mechanisms. Hobson watched women's eyes glaze over at talk of ten times more ingredient delivery, then light up when the patches came off. "Turns out all she cares about is the better results."How long does it take to build a beauty brand?Longer than founders expect, now that ad costs have erased the cheap growth era. "You've got to be prepared to raise 10 to 20 million dollars at least, and spend 10 to 20 years on it. That's the new reality."Why is it harder for indie brands to scale now?The economics of attention changed. "The advertising prices have come up and the ROI has come down, and so it's harder for young brands to make that leap."How should a brand respond to dupes?By owning the category so copies feed demand back to the original. "When a brand copies us, a rising tide lifts all boats." Patchology is up over 20 percent this year.Do dupes steal customers from the original?Within limits set by price and psychology. "They're wearing it and they're knowing in their mind, I'm not really wearing Chanel." Hobson argues most of those consumers come back.Does getting into Target or Walmart grow a beauty brand?Not without demand behind it. "If you don't have the demand generation capability in place to move that product off the shelf... you're out." Accessibility is a high stakes strategy, not a shortcut.What metrics should new beauty founders track?Repeat purchase above all, measured by cohort rather than revenue share. "The way we make money as brands is repeat purchase... if I had to go out and acquire a customer every single time, I'd go out of business."What is the biggest business lesson of his career?People. "You want to hire the A level person, even if they're a little threatening to you, because they're gonna do the job way better than you would ever do it."Listen to the full episode with Chris Hobson of Rare Beauty Brands on Skin Anarchy, available wherever you get your podcasts.Shop Kate Sommerville and PatchologyDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

After five years, 345 episodes, countless laughs, arguments, predictions, detours and unforgettable moments, this episode marks the end of an era for The Higher Standard.

THS was never just a podcast… it was a friendship, a partnership and a community built one conversation at a time.

In 2007, two Harvard researchers added a splash of balsamic vinegar to beer.  When drinkers knew the beer contained vinegar, they hated it.  But when the researchers told them “this is our MIT brew," the majority loved it.  The study reveals the secrets behind marketing.  On today's episode of Nudge with award-winning science writer David Robson, we explain how good marketing can shape our perception.  Link to the bonus episode: ⁠https://nudge.kit.com/86d3e39845⁠  Become an FSB member: https://get.fsb.org.uk/nudge/ Read the Expectation Effect: https://amzn.to/4dvkb3s  David's website: https://davidrobson.me/  David's Substack: https://davidarobson.substack.com/  ---  Today's sources:  Amar, M., Ariely, D., Bar-Hillel, M., Carmon, Z., & Ofir, C.

About Nicole Nicole Johnston’s Taboo Topics is an invitation to bring into the light the conversations women have often been conditioned to keep hidden. Drawing on decades of corporate leadership and executive coaching, Nicole argues that many of the barriers women experience at work are not personal shortcomings but cultural patterns that have remained largely unnamed. Rather than encouraging women simply to “lean in” or become more confident, she invites women to understand the invisible systems shaping their experiences and reclaim their voice within them. In This Episode We Discuss: How growing up with educator parents, playing sports, and learning to advocate for herself after losing hearing in one ear shaped Nicole’s leadership journey. Why sports matter for girls and the powerful connection between athletics, confidence, and leadership. Nicole’s path from Division I athlete to leadership roles at Procter & Gamble, including 19 moves and international experiences. The car accident that became a wake-up call and ultimately led her toward coaching and developing others. We Explore: Why perfectionism can feel like a “cozy blanket” and how resilience helps women take risks and grow. The importance of giving ourselves permission instead of waiting for it from others. Emotional labor, invisible work, and the unequal distribution of responsibility at home and work. The exhaustion of maintaining a persona and how women can become more intentional with their energy. Why celebrating other women is a powerful alternative to judgment. The “micro cuts” of sexism that women experience throughout their lives and careers. Compensation inequities and why women should always negotiate their salary. Nicole’s Advice for Younger Women: Respect the women who came before you and fought for the opportunities you have today. It’s okay to make mistakes, change directions, and choose a different path. Protect your time and energy early because the expectations you set often become the expectations others hold. This conversation is a thoughtful and practical exploration of the invisible forces shaping women’s lives and a reminder that many of the challenges women experience are cultural patterns to question—not personal failures to fix.

On this week's episode of the Korea Pro Podcast, John and Joon Ha discuss President Lee Jae Myung's new economic growth strategy for the second half of 2026, including his push for the state to play a much more active role as an investor in South Korea's future industries. They also break down the Bank of Korea's decision to raise the base rate to 2.75%, as inflation, rising energy prices, household debt and a weak won continue to create financial stability concerns. The episode then turns to the Lee administration's proposal to merge South Korea's three main military academies into a single institution, a plan the government says would improve jointness and modernize officer education.  John and Joon Ha also revisit South Korea's defense export ambitions after Hanwha Ocean's loss in Canada's submarine procurement competition, looking at how Seoul is shifting attention to Southeast Asian markets such as Thailand and the Philippines as it seeks to become one of the world's top arms exporters.

In this episode of Strategy in Action, host Jason Croft sits down with Chris Blachut, founder of Innate Edge, to tackle one of the most consequential and most overlooked challenges in business and life: figuring out who you actually are at your core and building everything around that.Chris brings a fascinating story to the conversation. After leaving a comfortable corporate career at Procter and Gamble, pre-retiring at 27, and spending 13 years bouncing through entrepreneurial misadventures with no common thread connecting them, he went deep into neurobiology, personality science, and AI to crack a code he wishes he had cracked decades earlier. The result is a systematic, human-guided assessment process called the X-ray, designed to cut through scattered self-perception and reveal the coherent inner engine that has been driving a person all along.Jason brings his signature ability to bridge complex ideas into practical clarity, pressing Chris on the real-world application of this work, sharing his own experience going through the X-ray, and drawing out what makes this process genuinely different from the Myers-Briggs assessments most people take, feel mildly validated by, and never think about again.Viewers and listeners will come away knowing:• How to identify the core verb that describes the unique way they naturally generate value in the world, and why naming it precisely changes everything• Why most self-assessments deliver a distorted reflection and what it actually takes to see yourself clearly• How to build a life narrative around your verb, your violation, and your vision so that motivation stops being something you have to manufacture• What pragmatic passion really means and why chasing passion without it is just running cleaner fuel through a still-broken engine• How Chris used years of deep research into neurobiology and personality science, combined with AI and hands-on work with real clients, to turn a deeply personal breakthrough into a process others can now access in under fifteen minutesWhether you are a seasoned entrepreneur trying to figure out what comes next or someone who has always felt the quiet pull that something is not quite right with the direction you are heading, this episode gives you a concrete, human, and surprisingly fast starting point for finally understanding what you are built for.Find all the show notes and links here:  https://www.strategyactionshow.com/113

It's coming home.... British Steel will once again be, well, British after it was renationalised to “protect the future of steel production in the UK” - and that could be just the start.Prime minister-in-waiting Andy Burnham has described water, energy, transport and housing as the “essentials of life” that should be run principally in the public, rather than private, interest.But can nationalisation solve the fundamental issues privatisation was meant to solve? And if Burnham does deliver more services back into public ownership, what would be the trade-offs and ultimately the cost?Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's business correspondent Paul Kelso.Have you got a question for Niall?

1942 was a year of extraordinary contrasts for Nazi Germany. As the year began, Hitler's armies appeared unstoppable. German forces dominated much of Europe, Rommel was advancing across North Africa, and a new offensive in the Soviet Union promised the prospect of victory in the East. Yet by the end of the year, Germany's fortunes had changed dramatically. Defeat at El Alamein and the encirclement of the Sixth Army at Stalingrad marked major setbacks. What had seemed a year of opportunity had become a year of crisis. How did this transformation occur? What was Hitler hoping to achieve in 1942? And to what extent did the events of that year shape the remainder of the conflict? Joining me to discuss this is Richard Hargreaves, author of 1942: Hitler's Gamble for Victory, which is also available on Audible and Spotify.   patreon.com/ww2podcast

Text and Be Heard“What is a fan?” sounds like a simple question until you look at what modern sports asks of us: more money, more attention, more data, and now more betting. We start from the place that made us love sports in the first place, competition, practice, winning and losing, and the joy of testing yourself. Then we pull the camera back and talk about how the so-called fan experience is increasingly designed around extraction, not connection.We get into youth sports and the way AAU travel teams and year-round single-sport schedules can drain families financially while putting kids at higher risk for overuse injuries. We talk honestly about the scholarship chase, the pressure to specialize, and how NIL money changes the emotional stakes for teenagers who are still trying to grow up. If you grew up playing multiple sports, you will recognize what gets lost when everything becomes a pipeline.Then we go straight at sports betting and the machinery behind it: live betting, micro betting, and the power that comes from controlling official data. When leagues and data partners profit while gambling companies chase quarterly earnings, the incentives tilt hard against the public. Add in soaring ticket prices, parking, food, drinks, and merch, and it is no wonder so many people feel pushed away from the game.If sports have started to feel less fun and more like a bill, you are not alone. Listen, share this with a friend who loves the game, and subscribe and leave a review so more people can rethink what being a fan should mean.Support the showRecovery is Beautiful.   Go Live Your Best Life!!Facebook Group - Recovery Freedom Circle | FacebookYour EQ is Your IQYouTube -    Life Is Wonderful   Hugo VRecovery Freedom CircleThe System That Understands Recovery, Builds Character  and Helps People Have Better Relationships.A Life Changing Solution, Saves You Time, 18 weekswww.lifeiswonderful.love  Instagram -  Lifeiswonderful.LoveTikTok -  Lifeiswonderful.LovePinterest -   Lifeiswonderful.LoveX -     LifeWonderLoveLinkedIn -   Hugo Vrsalovic    LinkedIn -   The 1% in Recovery

Le monde de l'entrepreneuriat adore toujours les mêmes histoires : celles où l'on quitte son job du jour au lendemain, où l'on glorifie le “scale”, où réussir signifie forcément recruter, lever des fonds, devenir manager plutôt qu'opérateur… jusqu'à finir par s'éloigner de ce qui nous avait donné envie d'entreprendre.Et pourtant, mon invité du jour a construit l'une des plus belles réussites de son secteur en faisant exactement l'inverse.Greg Finck est aujourd'hui l'un des photographes de mariage les plus réputés au monde. Des célébrités aux grandes familles internationales, il photographie certains des mariages les plus prestigieux de la planète.Mais ce qui m'intéressait chez Greg n'était pas seulement son succès.Je voulais comprendre comment un ancien salarié de Procter & Gamble a réussi à transformer une passion en une entreprise à 7 chiffres... sans jamais laisser les injonctions de l'entrepreneuriat définir sa propre trajectoire.Greg n'a pas tout quitté sur un coup de tête. Il a conservé son emploi pendant près de 5 ans pour construire son activité pas à pas. Il n'a jamais cherché à créer la plus grosse agence possible. Il a fait un choix plus rare : rester artisan de son métier, préserver sa liberté créative et accepter que la croissance ne soit pas une fin en soi. D'ailleurs, Greg rappelle une chose essentielle : une entreprise plus grande n'est pas forcément une entreprise plus rentable…Nous avons aussi parlé d'un échec dont il parle rarement : son passage à la direction générale de la maison Rime Arodaky. Une expérience qui lui a fait comprendre qu'on ne peut pas appliquer les mêmes recettes à tous les métiers, et qu'une entreprise de services portée par une personne n'obéit pas aux mêmes règles qu'une marque avec des équipes, des stocks et une organisation beaucoup plus complexe.J'ai beaucoup aimé cette conversation, parce qu'elle rappelle qu'il n'existe pas une seule manière d'entreprendre. Nous ne sommes pas tous destinés à construire les mêmes entreprises, ni à poursuivre les mêmes ambitions. Parfois, la plus belle réussite consiste “simplement” à bâtir une entreprise profondément cohérente avec la personne que l'on est.Mais je ne vous en dis pas plus et laisse place à ma conversation avec Greg Finck.Bonne écoute ✨Chapitrage 00:00 Introduction02:10 De Procter & Gamble à la photo de mariage de luxe08:07 Le grand saut et s'affranchir du regard des autres18:06 20 mariages par an et la clientèle américaine26:25 Vendre son art et rester seul maître à bord38:35 Mariages hors normes, réussite et vie de famille46:34 Le crible du Podcast1:04:11 Les livres recommandés par Greg FinckNotes et références de l'épisode ✨ Pour retrouver Greg Finck : Sur InstagramSur son site ✨ Pour retrouver l'épisode avec Rime Arodaky : Sur le PodcastSur YouTube ✨ Pour retrouver les livres recommandés par Greg Finck : Start with why de Simon Sinek La vache pourpre de Seth GodinLes 7 habitudes de ceux qui réalisent tout ce qu'ils entreprennent de Stephen R.

She previously served as Chief Commercial Officer for IHG Greater China, led Retail Marketing across Asia for Apple during the company's rapid retail expansion, and spent nearly 12 years at Procter & Gamble building brands across the U.S. and China.Beyond her corporate career, Emily is the bestselling author of *The Spare Room*, a TEDx speaker, former university lecturer, and longtime advocate for purposeful leadership and creating a meaningful social legacy. Emily lives in Los Angeles with her family.

Long before the modern bourbon boom, one family bet everything on a credit card cash advance business—and turned a single D.C. storefront into a legendary whiskey empire. On this week's episode, we sit down with Prav Saraff and talk about an unbelievable immigrant success story that transformed a single, cash-strapped Washington, D.C. storefront into a premier destination for ultra-rare spirits and legendary barrel picks. Prav takes us back to his family's roots—moving from India to Nepal before grinding through grueling hours in America as dishwashers and gas station attendants to finally buy their first liquor store in 1995. We talk about what it was like balancing high school by day and retail shifts by night, and how a chance encounter with a mentor customer completely shifted their business model away from the low-margin hustle and straight into luxury wine, dusty Van Winkle decanters, and vintage Willett bottles the rest of the industry ignored. Long before the modern bourbon boom, the Saraff family treated hard-to-sell, expensive inventory as a long-term asset, ultimately using their early producer relationships to help put powerhouse brands like Smooth Ambler, Smoke Wagon, and New Riff on the map. Prav breaks down how those foundational single barrel programs revolutionized their operation and laid the groundwork for Dream Spirits—a brand launched to honor his father's ultimate legacy. Show Notes: From India to Northern Virginia: The Saraff family's journey and the early days of American hustle Betting the future on a 28% interest rate credit card loan to buy a D.C. liquor store in 1995 Balancing high school with retail shifts: How a customer mentor unlocked the world of high-end wine and spirits Buying what others ignored: Taking early risks on Van Winkle decanters, A.H. Hirsch, and vintage Willett Treating expensive, slow-moving inventory as long-term liquid gold How early store picks helped put Smooth Ambler, Starlight, and Smoke Wagon on the map Launching Dream Spirits: Honoring a father's legacy through independent blending and curation Inside the new Virginia estate designed for immersive, memory-making barrel pick trips Learn more about your ad choices.
