After spending years as the only woman in rooms full of political power players, I’ve picked up more than a few things about messaging, bravado, and what actually lands with voters. If you’re craving someone who cuts through the noise with sarcasm, honesty, and zero patience for posturing, you’re in the right place. Let’s call it like it is Trump changed the game with his snark and sharp comebacks, and now politicians like Gavin Newsom are trying to play copycat instead of offering something new. Both parties, in my view, are failing to deliver the grown-up leadership and serious candidates we all deserve. Instead, we’re bombarded by social media wars, distractions about cultural issues, and nonstop grandstanding. It’s time for our political discourse to move past the childish antics and get back to candidates who focus on policy, substance, and real solutions. “Don’t act like an arrogant asshole. Don’t act like a child. Don’t act like we should put you in, you two in a sandbox.” ~Jennifer This Week on Political Contessa: The rise of snark and sarcasm in political messaging How Trump’s style turned American political talk on its head Why Newsom’s imitation game just isn’t working My frustration with the lack of serious leaders from both parties How Democrats are losing voters by focusing on cultural wedge issues Why we need a new wave of policy-driven candidates Stories from being the only woman shaking things up in political meetings Why it’s time to demand maturity and real leadership, for once Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

You don't always need to pick the hot technology stocks to get great returns Investing is very emotional and it's always nice to be part of the crowd and buy the hot stocks like Apple, Alphabet and Amazon, but they are not always the top performers. Sometimes your boring, undervalued companies can do very well. As an example, Apple over the years has performed nicely, but over the last five years the gain was 114%. Not a bad return, but if you held a boring company like Tractor Supply over the same five years, you would have a gain of 119%. Even an old insurance company like Allstate over the last five years was up 115%. Five years ago, if you saw the value in a company called Tapestry, which owns Coach and Kate Spade, your return was over 545%. Apple's not the only big tech company that was surpassed by these boring companies. If you look at Amazon over the last five years, you'll see a return of only 49%. One other area that is often discounted is that many of your boring companies are also paying dividends and generating cash flow that can be used to purchase other equities on sale. You may be thinking Apple does pay at dividend but it's important to note the yield is only 0.45%. Sometimes being boring is good and not being so concentrated in the hot stocks can pay off in the long run. I especially think this will be the case as we look out over the next 5-10 years! Another weak job report likely solidifies a Fed rate cut August non-farm payrolls increased by just 22,000, which was well below the estimate of 75,000. This weak report also comes with another month of negative revisions as employment in June and July combined is 21,000 lower than previously reported. Healthcare and social assistance continued to lift the headline number as the sectors added 31k and 16k jobs respectively. Many other areas in the report actually saw declines with payrolls in construction falling 7,000, manufacturing declining 12,000, and professional and business services dropping 17,000. Government also saw a decline of 16,000 jobs and I worry this is a ticking time bomb since employees on paid leave or receiving ongoing severance pay are counted as employed in the establishment survey and those that opted to take the government's offer at the beginning of the year will start coming off severance pay as the deal lasted through September. The most recent data I saw was that 75,000 federal employees took the offer, but not all were accepted into the program. I guess we will see the actual data and its impact over the next couple of months. With the weakness, I was surprised to see leisure and hospitality produce a gain of 28,000 jobs in the month. While much of this sounds concerning, the unemployment rate held relatively steady at 4.3% and that doesn't incorporate the fact that 1.9 million or 25.7% of all unemployed people were jobless for 27 weeks or more. My belief is that many of those that have been unemployed that long are skewing the data as I can't imagine they have been looking for a job that hard. With the unemployment rate low and deportations potentially weighing on the supply of workers, I just don't see how it would be possible to maintain strong job growth given the limited supply. Because of this I still don't remain overly concerned by the weak showing. Even with my lack of concern, this will likely lead to a Fed rate cut this month with markets now essentially putting odds for a 25-basis point cut at 100% and even a 50-basis point cut is now on the table with markets putting those odds at 12% after the job print. That's up from a zero percent chance on Thursday. Should you panic over the job opening data? The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey showed job openings fell to 7.18 million in the month of July. This was below the estimate of 7.4 million and also marked the lowest reading since September 2024. It was only the second time since the end of 2020 that job openings came in below 7.2 million. While this may sound troubling, I believe it just illustrates how crazy the labor market got after Covid. If we look at job openings before 2020, nearly 7.2 million openings would have been a great number. In 2016, job openings averaged 5.86 million; in 2017, job openings averaged 6.12 million; in 2018, job openings averaged 7.11 million; and in 2019, job openings averaged 7.15 million. So, while the headline may sound troubling, I still believe we could have job openings fall into the low 6 million range and it wouldn't be problematic, especially given the fact that unemployment remains extremely low. Even with that, I do believe the Fed will use this as further evidence of a softening labor market and that will give them the excuse to cut rates at the meeting this month. I'm still not convinced that is the right move, but we did hear from Fed Governor Christopher Waller, who is supposedly on the short list to replace Powell as Fed chair, that he believes there should be multiple cuts over the next few months, saying interest rates today are perhaps 1.0 to 1.5 percentage points above their “neutral” level. American luxury brands are destroying Europe's luxury brands It appears that European luxury brands like Gucci, Hermes and LVMH have increased their prices beyond what the average consumer is willing to pay. Currently, American consumers are spending the lowest share of discretionary income on luxury goods since 2019. The European luxury brands seem to have their heads in the clouds thinking American consumers would pay any price for a luxury purse from Europe. I think they have now discovered that the American consumer has reached their limit. Two luxury American brands have benefited from the ignorance of the European luxury brands. Both Ralph Lauren and Tapestry, which owns Coach and Kate Spade, have seen their sales increase. A chart of these luxury brands stocks shows European brands dropping while American brands have been increasing. One may be thinking now is the time to step in and buy Tapestry or Ralph Lauren, but with the recent stock increase they are no longer a great value as Ralph Lauren trades at over 20 times forward earnings and Tapestry is now over 19 times forward earnings. I would take a different side of the coin as I believe investors should understand that the European luxury brands will likely not just sit on their hands and do nothing and they will likely try and win back market share. With the increase in prices over the years I'm sure the profit margins are very fat, and they may have a good amount of space to do some heavy discounts to get their market share back. Both Tapestry and Ralph Lauren are dealing with the current tariff situation and that could hurt their profit margins going forward as well. On a side note, in years past we have warned people paying the high prices for European purses that they would not appreciate as much if at all. I have not researched it, but I feel pretty confident that if sales are down as much as they are, the resale on those expensive purses has probably dropped as well. Financial Planning: Mortgage rates reach 2025 low Mortgage rates have fallen to their lowest level of the year, reaching levels not seen since last October. Throughout 2025, 30-year mortgage rates have fluctuated between 6.5% and 7%, and as of Friday, September 5, they dipped as low as 6.29%. While this presents an opportunity for buyers and homeowners considering a refinance, caution is warranted. Rates are still likely to experience volatility even as the broader declining trend continues over the next several years. In 2024, mortgage rates actually rose at year-end despite the Federal Reserve implementing three rate cuts. In 2025, it is widely expected that the Fed will cut again in September, with additional cuts likely by year-end. This current window of lower rates may be worth taking advantage of, but paying upfront points may not be wise just yet, as there will likely be future opportunities to capture even lower rates. Companies Discussed: The Kraft Heinz Company (KHC), Best Buy Co., Inc. (BBY), Snowflake Inc. (SNOW) & Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL)
In this episode I had the privilege of interviewing the fashion designer and creative director Harris Reed... and I have to say I was blown away by his vision, his confidence, his charm and his down to earth warmth.Fighting for the beauty of fluidity, half-American, half-British Harris Reed designs to create conversation. Growing up with a strong sense of self, Harris was able to quickly understand the transformative power of clothing and its correlation with identity and liberation.While still studying at Central Saint Martins, he caught the attention of the likes of Harry Styles who he dressed in some iconic looks for his tour including his signature pussy bow blouses and flares. Alessandro Michele, the then creative director of Gucci, spotted him and recruited him to his design studio. His brand has gone from strength to strength showing Demi-Couture collections biannually in London and garnering VIP fans and clients including Beyoncé, Adele, and Sam Smith. The overall DNA of the Harris Reed brand and personal identity, is best described as Romanticism Gone Nonbinary. It puts the wearer and their fluidity - in whatever way it manifests, front and centre yet all while staying true to the brand's ethos that strives for a vision of gender fluidity and inclusivity. Personally, Harris dresses to invite the looks and stares, to blur the preconceived fault-lines people have about gender and sexuality. He is an incredibly striking and magnetic human being. In 2021 he was invited to dress Iman for the prestigious Met Gala... both he and Iman looked spectacular despite a little personal mishap on his way there...too funny and too personal to write about but listen in and you will hopefully laugh with us.In September 2022, aged just 26, he was appointed the youngest ever Creative Director of French fashion house Nina Ricci. He is absolutely flying... In October 2023 Harris married his husband Eitan Senerman in an intimate ceremony in London at Chelsea Old Town Hall and Claridge's... The second wedding celebration in Palermo, Sicily in June 2024, saw Harris in 4 different outfits ... looking ever more spectacular in each one...of course we delve into why he designed each look...and how he wanted to feel... His recently published, beautifully illustrated book Fluid, is well worth a read...---A message from our season sponsor: Join the millions of people hitting their weight loss goals with Simple.

On today's podcast: (1) Broadcom is helping OpenAI design and produce an artificial intelligence accelerator from 2026, getting into a lucrative sphere dominated by Nvidia. (2) President Donald Trump said he would be imposing tariffs on semiconductor imports “very shortly” but spare goods from companies like Apple that have pledged to boost their US investments. (3) Bond and currency traders are bracing for Friday’s US employment report, which stands to solidify views on Federal Reserve policy and determine the near-term trajectory of interest rates. (4) French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou said he doesn’t regret calling a confidence vote putting his government on the line, as France is “burdened with debt” and the political parties must “each take responsibility.” (5) UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he would “act on” the outcome of an independent investigation into his deputy Angela Rayner’s tax affairs, signaling he would fire her if the inquiry found she had breached rules governing ministers’ behavior. (6) Giorgio Armani fought for decades to keep the fashion empire he founded independent, as Italian icons like Gucci and Fendi were snapped up by larger luxury chains. It will be his heirs who decide what the future will hold. Podcast Conversation: $40,000 Vacations Inspire Finance Pros to Become Travel AgentsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Every time you make money, you're making Gucci rich, you're making BMW rich, you're making Rolex rich, you're making your landlord rich, you're making a whole bunch of people rich. It's just not you." Think you understand wealth building? Think again. In this episode, Jaspreet breaks down the brutal truth about why most people stay broke while making everyone else rich. This isn't your typical "save more money" advice. It's about fundamentally rewiring how you think about every dollar that comes into your hands. Most people see $1,000 and think "new watch." Wealthy people see $1,000 and think "how do I turn this into $2,000?" The difference isn't just mindset, it's a complete financial philosophy that separates the builders from the buyers. What You'll Learn: Why saving money in the bank is actually a guaranteed way to lose money The "decade of sacrifice" that nobody talks about but everyone wealthy goes through How to shift from making other people rich to building your own wealth machine The real difference between looking rich and actually being rich Why your high yield savings account might still be losing to inflation How to use assets to create money that works while you sleep Once you understand the game wealthy people are really playing, you'll never see money the same way again.

Welcome to episode #998 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Annie Wilson is a marketing professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and co-author, with Ryan Hamilton, of The Growth Dilemma - Managing Your Brand When Different Customers Want Different Things. Her work examines the deep interplay between consumer behavior, culture and brand identity, helping leaders understand why growth often creates as many risks as it does opportunities. In The Growth Dilemma, Annie unpacks how efforts to reach new customer segments can clash with the values of loyal buyers, sometimes threatening the very meaning of a brand. Drawing from real-world examples (from Apple's software missteps to Gucci's unintended association with reality TV fame) she reveals how scarcity, exclusivity and cultural perception shape brand power in ways most executives overlook. Beyond brand strategy, Annie's research and teaching explore the ways marketing has evolved as a discipline, especially in an era of AI, fragmented media and globalization. She highlights how authenticity, community and cultural nuance are becoming non-negotiable for sustainable success, and why short-termism remains one of the most dangerous traps for modern marketers. For those navigating the intersection of consumer connection and cultural influence, Annie offers a critical lens on how to balance growth with integrity, how to adapt without betraying your core identity and how to see branding not just as a commercial practice, but as a cultural one. This conversation is essential listening for anyone grappling with the future of marketing in an age of shifting consumer expectations, technological disruption and global homogenization.

Brendan Paul, a former Syracuse basketball player turned personal assistant to Sean Combs from late 2022 to March 2024, testified under immunity that his duties included purchasing cocaine, ketamine, ecstasy, marijuana, and other substances for Combs, as well as preparing hotel rooms for Combs's so‑called “wild king nights” or “freak‑offs.” He described going days without sleep, relying on Adderall and occasional cocaine use to cope, and even sampling a pink-drug blend ("tusi") to demonstrate loyalty. Paul recounted incidents where he was reprimanded—at times fired—for minor mistakes like forgetting a Gucci fanny pack loaded with drugs. He clarified that he was not a drug mule, maintaining he transported only small amounts for Combs's personal use, and that he ultimately assisted in the cleanup of these drug-fueled sex parties.On cross‑examination, Paul emphasized that procuring drugs was a minor aspect of his role and insisted that the narcotics were used solely by Combs. He recounted how he accidentally carried cocaine through a Miami airport—picked up during cleaning Combs's hotel room—and was arrested but later had charges dropped after completing a diversion program, attributing his silence to loyalty. Paul described Combs's expectations that his staff operate with “militant” discipline, likening them to "SEAL Team 6." He testified that Combs became particularly “extremely creative” when under the influence, using charts, messages, and communications about these events as part of the prosecution's racketeering-sex trafficking case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:(1) Live updates: Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial coverage | CNN

Ten years ago, at the launch of Vogue Runway, there were a series of articles published about the '90s. Sarah Mower contributed a piece on the lasting impact of Helmut Lang, Lynn Yaeger penned an ode to grunge, and Luke Leitch shared his recollections of the decade's menswear (shout-out for warehouse-sale Maharishi!). A quick survey of the fall 2025 trends includes both 1980s Working Girl chic and aughts-era indie sleaze. But the '90s reign supreme, and with incoming creative directors at Gucci, Versace, and Maison Margiela, three brands at their It-est in those years, the '90s aren't going anywhere anytime soon.On today's episode of Vogue's Run-Through podcast, Mark Holgate, Luke Leitch, and Nicole Phelps—proud Gen X-ers—discuss the persistence of the '90s phenomenon and make the case for a new kind of futurism.

This week, we're talking about the British Advertising Standards Agency banning two Zara ads that it deemed showed “unhealthily thin” models, a labor dispute at Gucci that could lead to over 1,000 employees going on strike, and updates from Capri Holdings and Ralph Lauren. Later in the episode, we speak with Anu Narayanan, the president of women's and home at Antrhopologie, about the company's decision to spin off one of its private labels, Maeve, into its own standalone brand. Narayanan also gave insight into her leadership style, the right time to invest in business expansion and the importance of bringing in new perspectives.

New Sode; The Glitter Summer addition: Happy Summer from St Tropez Club Sanc un Sanc Everywhere in St Trop -smoking is allowed indoors unlike porn and unregulated wheat puts and nudity on the concord. In between unfinished bottles of Dom Perignon and warding of managers of Sovereign wealth fund managers wishing to grind up against me to Usher's U Got it Bad; I realized I needed a job; It occurred to me in my housewife delirium that I should launch an Anti-Illegal Immigrant Meme coin or Teen Mom meme coin on Base. What's a meme coin my assistant -slash 4 -year old step daughter asked. I realized I had no idea. I then decided against it when I realized I would have to do work. I also read in People Magazine that Memes are over.But I digress; my guest today is John Squire; a rather unboring episode, as he kept ranting about Spexi, which I kept thinking he was saying Sexy, so it made for rather amusing follow up queries. John and I met on a mutual family Holiday in the late 80s at the 4 Seasons Spa in Guantanamo though I was without my family. He clearly has astronomical wealth as there was not a Gucci anything insight and he does not use phrases like “blockchain is the core infrastructure of the next generation of financial rails of the future” that make me dry up and vomit my already vomited martinay. He has a quiet cowboy ranch work ethic that I wish I could mutually respect and emulate. John is the only cool crypto founder whose fund is not 98 percent under (sparkling) water. He is the founder of Blockchange Ventures, but hes cool, man, he likes to be in the trenches with the founders and is inspired by their idealistic passion that web3 has a use case beyond Bitcoin and crypto conference panel topics. Ipso facto, John is unique in that he also dabbles in curious projects and likes almonds and can talk about topics that excite him beyond blocks that are chained togetherSupport the show
(Airdate: 8.4.25) Robert Downey Jr. is cashing in big time—$100 million for his next blockbuster? Not bad for a guy who used to play a billionaire in a metal suit. Meanwhile, Jason Momoa has shaved off his legendary beard, and fans are feeling personally attacked. It's for a good cause... but still, RIP to those majestic whiskers. And finally, “And Just Like That” is officially canceled—because apparently not even Carrie Bradshaw could make podcasting interesting. All that and more on the show that asks… who really cares? (Spoiler: We kinda do about Jason's beard.) Voted 6th Best Entertainment News Podcast! Because being #1 is soooo overrated.

My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today!Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1802"A decade of sacrifice. If you put in that decade of spending less and earning more, and you take this money and instead of buying that Gucci, you go out and you buy these assets - now those assets are paying you monthly or quarterly, and you can spend that money on whatever you want." - Jaspreet SinghJaspreet Singh built his wealth by understanding something most people ignore: recessions aren't random disasters - they're predictable patterns that happen every decade. While others panic when markets crash, he sees opportunity. But here's what separates him from everyone else giving financial advice: he doesn't just tell you to "invest more." He breaks down the brutal truth about why most people stay broke even when they make good money, and reveals the three-step system that turns financial chaos into wealth-building momentum. His story isn't about getting lucky or having a trust fund - it's about recognizing that building wealth works like building physical health, except with one massive advantage: the results compound forever.What makes this conversation different is how Jaspreet flips the script on traditional money advice. Instead of focusing on budgeting and penny-pinching, he shows you how to think like wealthy people who build "reserves" that keep paying them even when they stop working. You'll discover why the longest period without a recession in modern history just ended, what that means for your money right now, and the exact strategy he used to find profitable real estate deals even during the hottest housing market ever. This isn't about sacrificing everything you enjoy - it's about understanding the difference between spending money and investing it, so your future self can afford whatever you want.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter
In this special summer edition of the Remarkable Retail podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis return to the mic for a jam-packed Month-in-Review episode. With interviews from the CommerceNext Growth Show rolling out all summer long, the duo takes a break from the regular cadence to reflect on the key developments dominating retail headlines.Kicking things off, Michael and Steve catch up on their summer travels, from retail safaris to personal DIY projects, before diving into on-the-ground observations from recent store visits. They note intensified promotional activity, flagging department store performance, and struggling retailers like Kohl's—whose housekeeping and inventory issues speak volumes about the deeper structural challenges facing legacy banners.A major theme is the ripple effect of evolving tariff policies. Steve breaks down the shifting landscape of trade "deals"—or lack thereof—impacting everything from apparel to automobiles, including the end of the de minimis clause that could reshape the business model of players like Shein and Temu. While retailers have largely absorbed tariff costs for now, Q4 pricing and profitability are big question marks, particularly for cash-strapped players.The conversation turns to macroeconomic conditions and a surprisingly resilient U.S. consumer. However, Steve warns against viewing “the consumer” as a monolith, emphasizing growing bifurcation between income brackets. The luxury market underscores this divide—Hermès continues to thrive, while Gucci and more aspirational brands struggle, and Saks Global faces mounting losses and vendor tensions.The episode also unpacks Amazon's latest earnings, with standout 23% growth in ad sales, despite investor jitters around AWS and an uncertain outlook.Other hot takes include AI's expanding role in customer interaction, the controversy around American Eagle's “gene/jeans” ad featuring Sydney Sweeney, and the headline-grabbing soap opera surrounding Hudson's Bay's failed resurrection attempt in Canada.Looking ahead, Michael and Steve preview August retail earnings, the fall retail conference season, and the ongoing evolution of AI-enabled search.

The crew dives into the new Fantastic 4 flick, throws some shade (and some love) at Taika Waititi directing Judge Dredd, and unpacks all the casting rumors and plot teases from the MCU and DCU. Quick hits: • The Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle ad drama takes center stage. We shut down the Nazi imagery claims—says it's a reach. • Taika's officially doing Judge Dredd and everyone's kinda like… “Will the goofy vibes work for this one?” • The Fantastic 4 reboot is getting solid praise—great characters, solid writing—but a few folks wish it dug a little deeper. • Marvel boss Kevin Feige's got a whole seven-year MCU roadmap cooked up: reboot with Franklin Richards, fresh takes on Blade and X-Men, and a pivot toward younger fans and heroes like Spidey. • Over in DC land, James Gunn's teasing multiverse madness, maybe a new Batman, and upcoming shows like Peacemaker (yep, it's back) and Creature Commandos.
