This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, Ariel, David, and Ripley are back to tackle watches that dazzle, watches that feel like furniture, and watches that may be listening to everything you say. The crew starts with a look behind the curtain at Dexel and the manufacturing capabilities that help make Formex such an interesting value proposition, including the cases, bracelets, clasps, and technology that often go unnoticed by consumers. Then things get considerably more colorful with the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Dazzle, a watch that leaves absolutely nowhere for your eyes to rest. From there, Hublot takes titanium in an entirely different direction with the rubber coated Big Bang Original Soft Touch, prompting questions about scratches, lint removal, carpeted watches, and whether anyone really needs a softer Big Bang. The Hublot conversation also leads into the latest Nico Leonard and Christopher Ward drama, the internet's long history of hating Hublot, and whether the Big Bang should simply be reinvented from scratch.The conversation then turns to aBlogtoWatch's upcoming 20th anniversary and Ariel's plans for brands to create watches inspired by the occasion, including one particularly unusual idea involving 5,000 year old fossilized tree rings. Apple enters the chat with its latest Apple Watch technology, including the ability to continuously listen, transcribe conversations, identify speakers, and generate meeting notes, which naturally makes everyone feel completely comfortable and not at all concerned. The guys also dig into the complicated relationship between watch media, auction houses, and charity auctions before wrapping things up with Louis Vuitton's latest Tambour Spin Time collection, including an extravagant world timer and opal model. Along the way, expect the usual detours into watch industry drama, questionable materials, smartwatch rivalries, and exactly how much technology you really want listening from your wrist.To check out the ABTW Shop, where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review!Key Chapters:[00:00:07] Welcome and Opening Banter[00:07:41] Inside Dexel and How Formex Watches Are Made[00:18:53] Bulgari Octo Finissimo Dazzle[00:25:32] Hublot Big Bang Original Soft Touch[00:31:59] Nico Leonard, Christopher Ward, and Watch Industry Drama[00:41:25] aBlogtoWatch's 20th Anniversary Watch Plans[00:45:34] Apple Watch Ultra 4 Is Listening[00:47:48] Apple Watch Series 12 and Ceramic[00:52:06] The Hermès Apple Watch and Its Price[00:57:29] Watch Auction Houses and Charity Controversy[01:02:15] What Happened to Only Watch?[01:05:43] Louis Vuitton Tambour Spin Time[01:09:46] Garmin vs. Apple Watch

How do you put a price on a 15-carat diamond, a rare Hermès bracelet, or even a pen once owned by Lee Kuan Yew? On this edition of Unusual Jobs, we step inside the world of auction houses with Matthew Elton, Founder and CEO of Hotlotz, and Christopher Lanigan O'Keeffe, Co-Founder and Director of Auctions. We hear what goes into handling some of Singapore’s most closely watched sales, from Lee Kuan Yew’s Montblanc pen to hundreds of luxury items forfeited in the S$3 billion money laundering case, and find out what it takes to turn an object into a lot worth bidding for.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“We closed that deal in 24 hours – a Ferrari, two (Hermès) Birkin bags, a bunch of watches...”   Dewey Burke, Founder and CEO, Luxury Asset Capital 

Renowned paper artist Yulia Brodskaya is redefining the boundaries of the centuries-old craft of paper quilling. Originally trained as a graphic designer and illustrator, her journey into paper began almost by accident. In spelling her name “YULIA” with strips of paper in her very first paper artwork, she unknowingly set out to reinvent the centuries-old craft, pioneering a technique of drawing with paper strips—representing each drawn with an edge-glued strip that lifts the drawing into the third dimension. Soon after discovering her unique voice, Brodskaya earned international recognition for her innovative paper illustrations and was named Creative Review magazine's “Breakthrough Star” of 2009. Her early work focused primarily on paper typography, quickly attracting an extraordinary roster of clients. Over the following years, she completed more than 200 commissions and collaborations, working with renowned brands including Neiman Marcus, Hermès, Issey Miyake, Wimbledon, Paramount Pictures, and The Balvenie. Yet alongside this commercial success, Brodskaya continued to explore the deeper expressive potential of paper. Gradually, her focus shifted toward portraiture and natural forms, where she could fully develop her signature technique of Painting with paper. Her book Painting with Paper — Paper on the Edge documents this pioneering technique, revealing how tightly folded paper strips can function like 3-dimentional brushstrokes, with colours blended and layered in a process analogous to mixing paint on a palette. The result is work that possesses all the richness of painting, while adding the tactile presence and dimensionality. Through her teaching and sharing of these methods, Brodskaya has inspired a global community of paper artists. Many have been able to follow in her footsteps, developing their own practices and livelihoods through this medium—first by learning to “draw” with paper, and now by exploring its full painterly and expressive potential. Today, her work continues to evolve. Her latest portrait experiments blur the boundary between paper quilling and Impressionist painting, demonstrating the extraordinary capacity of paper to convey light, emotion, and human presence. Through her hands, paper transforms from a simple material into a living medium, giving rise to a unique visual language the art world has never seen before. https://www.instagram.com/yulia_brodskaya_artyulia/ www.artyulia.com www.yuliacourses.com

Generala, Hermógenes y Celestino hablan sobre la que puede haber sido mayor aparación de la historia.

This $990 belt isn't saddle-stitched by hand like the bags Hermès is known for — it's machine-sewn, which is exactly why anyone can buy it while Birkins and Kellys stay gatekept. I opened it up to see what's actually inside: three leather layers, a palladium-coated buckle, and a materials cost I could trace back to source pricing.The markup turned out lower than expected for the brand — around 12-13x on both the strap and the buckle, not the 20x+ multiples seen elsewhere in luxury. So what are you actually paying for? Craftsmanship, or the logo?Stay leathertained.

What can Costco hot dogs and Hermès handbags teach interior designers about running a high-end design business? Quite a lot, apparently. Rebecca and Shaun dig into the wildly different business models behind Costco and Hermès and uncover surprising lessons about luxury, value, trust, vendor relationships, pricing, craftsmanship, and creating a brand clients believe in.They also catch up on some big personal and business changes, including Shaun's decision to leave his studio and reduce overhead, Rebecca's adventures in home renovation and color drenching, and the importance of making strategic business decisions with trusted advisors. From cost-plus pricing and designer discounts to vintage sourcing and what actually defines a luxury client, this episode explores how interior designers can create more profitable businesses while delivering an experience that feels truly high-end.In this episode they discuss:Why Shaun decided to give up his office space, reduce overhead, and make aggressive financial moves for the next chapter of his interior design businessHow working with a CPA and financial advisor can help designers make smarter decisions about expenses, profitability, retirement, and long-term business goalsRebecca's spontaneous color-drenched hallway and the design concept of “compression and release” inspired by Frank Lloyd WrightWhat the Acquired podcast's deep dive into Costco reveals about limited product selection, strong supplier relationships, customer trust, and delivering exceptional valueHow designers can build deeper vendor relationships and use purchasing power to create better pricing without making a luxury design service feel “cheap”Whether a cost-plus pricing model can work for high-end interior design, especially when sourcing custom furniture, vintage pieces, and products from preferred vendorsWhat Hermès teaches us about craftsmanship, consistency, exclusivity, brand identity, and creating luxury products that clients desire beyond pure functionalityThe difference between offering a luxury design service and working with a truly luxury client who values trust, access, one-of-a-kind pieces, expertise, and the finished result over price shoppingOur links:Subscribe and leave a review - Apple PodcastsLike, Comment, & Follow - Hot Young Designers Club InstagramRebecca's InstagramShaun's InstagramFor more information - Check out the websiteBecome a “Loyal Hottie” - Support us on PatreonDesign Resources - Check out our shop

No episódio 160 do Moda Importa, Marcella Lorenzon & Su Biazoli analisam três acontecimentos que revelam como a moda escolhe quem será celebrado, o que continuará relevante e quais encontros serão transformados em desejo.O cancelamento da retrospectiva de John Galliano no Metropolitan Museum of Art abre uma discussão que vai além da polêmica: existe diferença entre estudar uma trajetória importante para a moda contemporânea e homenagear quem a construiu? Entre o Met, Anna Wintour, a indústria e a reação do público, quem ainda tem autoridade para conceder esse reconhecimento?Na sequência, a Hermès mostra outra forma de exercer poder. Uma maison que não precisa acompanhar tendências para permanecer no centro do luxo e que construiu sua exclusividade a partir do tempo, do acesso, do savoir-faire e de uma relação com o desejo que ultrapassa as bolsas Birkin e Kelly.Por fim, a colaboração Celine x Reebok aproxima o luxo francês do sportswear dos anos 1980 e 1990 sem apagar a identidade de nenhuma das marcas. Um encontro que recupera memória, alcança públicos diferentes e mostra por que algumas collabs parecem inevitáveis assim que aparecem.Entre John Galliano, o Met, Hermès, alta-costura, Celine e Reebok, este episódio investiga as diferentes formas de poder que ajudam a definir o que a moda legitima, preserva e transforma em desejo.E falamos de moda, muita moda.

What do today's secondhand shoppers actually want from thrift and resale stores? For Caroline Phillips, founder of Paloma Modern Consignment in Austin, the answer goes beyond finding a great deal. Shoppers are looking for quality, recognizable brands, an inviting experience, community, and an easier way to make secondhand part of how they shop. On the Get Thrifty Podcast, host Maggie Scivicque talks with Caroline about creating an upscale modern consignment boutique that bridges everyday fashion and luxury while making secondhand shopping more approachable. They explore the stigma that still surrounds thrifting, why younger shoppers are embracing resale differently, and how trust, hospitality, sustainability, and community can shape the modern resale experience.   GUEST HANDLES & RESOURCES TT: @paloma_consignment IG: @paloma_consignment Website: https://www.palomaconsignment.com/   SHOW NOTES How a curated boutique experience can make secondhand shopping more approachable to people intimidated by traditional thrifting Why shoppers want everything from Lululemon and Anthropologie to Chanel, Gucci, Prada, and Hermès secondhand What Caroline is learning about Gen Z shoppers discovering resale through TikTok Why building trust and community can matter more than pushing for an immediate sale How buying, wearing, and reselling clothing creates a more circular approach to fashion Why Caroline focuses primarily on modern pieces from the past five years, including new-with-tags inventory How events, local makers, and experiences like color analysis can turn a resale store into a community destination

If you've ever been told there's no clear path for the career you want, this episode is proof you can build the path yourself.Kyle Smith joins us as the NFL's first-ever fashion editor, a role that didn't exist until he created it. We get into how a scrappy Instagram account he ran during COVID, just posting tunnel fits for fun, became his literal proof of concept and landed him back at the league in a job title no one had held before. We talk about taking Joe Burrow to Paris for his first-ever trip outside the country and putting him in a backless Peter Do suit for Vogue World, a moment that generated $22 million in paid media value, why Hermès has quietly become an unofficial partner of the NFL tunnel, and his theory on why athletes, not influencers, are becoming fashion's most trusted tastemakers. We also get into his "what rooms do you want to be in" framework for getting dressed with intention, and his advice for anyone trying to build a career in a lane that doesn't exist yet.In this episode, we get into:How Kyle became the NFL's first-ever fashion editor, and how a proof-of-concept Instagram account he ran during COVID turned into a job that didn't exist before he pitched for itHis path from working under celebrity stylist Karla Welch, to styling NFL Network hosts, to building the league's entire fashion strategy from the ground upThe story behind Joe Burrow's viral backless Peter Do suit at Vogue World Paris, and how the moment generated $22 million in paid media valueWhy Hermès has become an unofficial partner of the NFL tunnel, from Saquon Barkley's shadow Birkin to custom Bengals-orange bags for Joe BurrowHis theory on why athletes, not influencers, are becoming fashion's most trusted tastemakers, and what that means for how brands think about visibilityThe "what rooms do you want to be in" framework he uses with players (and the rest of us) to make getting dressed intentional instead of reactiveHis advice for anyone trying to build a career in a space that doesn't have a clear path yet, no permission requiredWhat to actually wear to a football game, from suite dressing to jewelry to his favorite NFL x Abercrombie merchThe NFL players he's watching this season for the best tunnel style.Special thanks to today's sponsor Aerie!

On a research trip in China, I found my way into a market selling replica luxury goods and picked up a counterfeit Hermès Constance belt for about $100. Then I ordered the real one from Hermès directly and put both under the microscope — leather, stitching, hardware, edge finishing, even weight.The differences were bigger than expected in some places, and barely there in others. Here's what actually separates a $100 counterfeit from the real thing — materials, construction, and where the corners get cut.Stay leathertained.

Hermógenes, Generala, Sixta y Abderico hablan sobre una Santa que se negó a casarse.

En este episodio cerramos nuestra serie sobre los fundamentos del hermetismo explorando la palingenesia o Segundo Nacimiento. Analizamos el Tratado XIII del Corpus Hermeticum para comprender cómo este proceso de espiritualización no es una enseñanza que pueda transmitirse, sino un afloramiento de nuestra verdadera naturaleza divina a través de la purificación y la disposición del alma.

Miguel Méndez, analista independiente, nos comenta los principales catalizadores del mercado y analiza los valores que nos mandan los oyentes a través de sus consultas. Uno de los activos que ha analizado es el petróleo. “El protagonista del mercado es el petróleo, hay mucha tensión geopolítica”, nos comenta el experto. También asegura que “hay que manejar el timing de Donald Trump”, que ha hecho miles de operaciones durante el verano. Sobre el momento del mercado, también nos comenta que “hay una corrección en el mercado” y que “hay mucha sensibilidad en muchos valores que están muy sensibles a los movimientos de los Índices”. Eso sí, nos afirma que “no ha habido un movimiento de la volatilidad extraordinario”. El analista ha comentado varios valores que han mandado en consulta los oyentes y que también son protagonistas del mercado. Es el caso de Hermés, de la cual asegura que “no levanta cabeza, el lujo tiene una crisis de consumo que está ahí”. Además, afirma que “su soporte no tiene fuerza” y que “no hay un solo atisbo de recuperación”. También ha analizado Ferrari. Afirma que ha tenido un buen comportamiento a lo largo del verano” y que “no descartaría entornos de 400, 420, más cercanos a los máximos”, para su situación futura. El sector tecnológico también ha sido protagonista dentro de nuestro Consultorio. Miguel Méndez ha analizado la situación de AMD. Sobre ella, “se aferra a la idea de que vamos a ver los 600 dólares” y también ha comentado la posibilidad de que alcance el “trillion” de valoración, él piensa que sí y que “todo cuadra para la próxima publicación de resultados”. También ha analizado Intel, de la cual nos cuenta que “no le llama la atención” y que “parece que se va a apoyar en niveles de 82 y quizá luego vuelva a recuperar”.

La prudence a dominé les marchés européens hierLes investisseurs ont été refroidis par le retour de l'inflation en zone euro au-dessus des 3 % et par la nette remontée des taux obligataires, un cocktail qui relance les spéculations sur un nouveau durcissement de la politique monétaire de la Banque centrale européenne.À Paris, le CAC 40 a perdu près de 0,5 %, repassant sous les 8 300 points. Le luxe et l'automobile ont une nouvelle fois pesé sur la tendance, avec des replis marqués pour Hermès, Kering, Renault ou encore Stellantis, sur fond d'inquiétudes concernant la croissance mondiale et l'environnement de taux élevés.Autre sujet clé de la séance : le pétrole. Le Brent a poursuivi son ascension au-dessus des 92 dollars le baril, porté par les tensions persistantes au Moyen-Orient et les risques autour du détroit d'Ormuz. Une envolée qui ravive les craintes inflationnistes mais qui profite aux valeurs énergétiques.TotalEnergies s'est ainsi distinguée parmi les meilleures performances du CAC 40.Hébergé par Ausha.

This week on Casually Obsessed, Niharika, Aishwarya, and Shruti dive into the great "bikini blouse" debate, why cultural policing always lands on women, and why a Hermès store in Berlin owes a comedian way more than a cheap bottle of champagne.

C'est un art que l'on retrouve dans plusieurs régions du monde, vieux de plusieurs siècles, et pourtant peu à peu oublié : celui de la plumasserie – ou le fait de transformer des plumes en objets d'ornement, parures, vêtements et autres créations époustouflantes. En France, cet art connaît aujourd'hui un renouveau, grâce notamment au travail de Nelly Saunier, passée maître d'art et dont les créations peuplent, en ce moment, le château de Josselin en Bretagne et le musée du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac à Paris.  Ce qui frappe d'abord dans l'atelier de Nelly Saunier, c'est cette immense bibliothèque de près de 6 mètres de haut, où s'empilent des dizaines de boîtes. Seulement ici, pas de livres : que des plumes ! « Je serais incapable de dire combien il y en a, réfléchit Nelly Saunier. Mais je sais qu'il y a ici 350 boîtes de plumes, et qu'elles sont toutes relativement pleines. » Comprendre : il y a ici des milliers de plumes, de toutes les formes, de toutes les tailles, de toutes les textures et de toutes les couleurs, qu'il lui faut sourcer, laver, trier, puis déployer dans leur écrin en attendant de pouvoir les utiliser. Un univers quasi-magique dont cette plumassière ne se lasse pas : « C'est une passion sans fin, sourit cette pétillante sexagénaire. Même aujourd'hui, je suis toujours surprise par ce que les oiseaux ont à offrir. Il y a une infinité de couleurs, de textures, de nuances… » Plus de quarante ans après ses débuts, Nelly Saunier a toujours des étoiles dans les yeux pour parler de son métier. Une vocation découverte dès l'adolescence Pour la plumassière, la révélation s'impose à 14 ans, comme « une évidence » : « Je cherchais un métier, quelque chose que je puisse faire de mes mains. J'ai choisi la plumasserie, qui me reliait à mon univers d'enfance, c'est-à-dire les arbres et les oiseaux. » Peu à peu, Nelly Saunier apprend à donner une seconde vie aux plumes qui l'émerveillent tant, et à les « transcender » en leur donnant une nouvelle forme : vêtements, cadrans de montre, parures de bijoux, chapeaux et autres trompe-l'œil. Pour ce faire, elle manie expertement les cinq outils principaux du plumassier : un couteau tranchant, un couteau émoussé – « ​​​​​​​pour faire friser les plumes » –, des ciseaux, un réglet et une pince. Même si, ajoute-t-elle avec une pointe de malice, «​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​l'art de la plume permet d'être créatif et d'inventer ses propres outils, ses propres façons de faire. » Seulement voilà, à l'issue de sa formation, un vrai défi s'impose : à l'époque, l'art de la plumasserie est considéré comme un peu désuet. «​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​Mais moi, j'y ai toujours cru ! », se souvient celle qui, avec le temps, est passée maître d'art. «​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​Alors, comme je préfère le "faire", plutôt que de discourir, j'ai fait : j'ai répondu à des commandes d'horlogers, de designers, de couturiers, de joailliers…, de nombreux domaines où j'ai pu impulser l'idée qu'on pouvait faire vivre l'art de la plume autrement. » Pari réussi : aujourd'hui, parmi les clients de Nelly Saunier, on compte de nombreuses maisons de luxe, de Gucci à Louboutin en passant par Hermès, Givenchy ou Jean-Paul Gaultier. Autant de collaborations qui ont donné une visibilité à l'artisane autant qu'à son art. «​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​J'en vois beaucoup, désormais, qui s'y mettent, sur les réseaux sociaux… Tant mieux, si cela fait des émules ! », s'enthousiasme-t-elle. L'importance du lien à la nature Cette réussite donne aussi à Nelly Saunier la liberté de façonner des créations plus personnelles, de véritables œuvres d'art ne répondant à aucun impératif. Des pièces qui incluent toujours un morceau de nature glané au gré de balades en forêt ou en bord de mer : «​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​Je ramasse ce que la nature me donne, et qui est arrivé au bout d'un cycle de vie. » D'où la présence, dans son atelier, de morceaux de bois pétrifié, de galets ou de brindilles. «​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​J'en fais ce que j'appelle des natures transformées », explique-t-elle. Ici, une branche morte devient un tronc d'arbre dont les tiges, faites de barbes de plumes, portent des feuilles aux couleurs excentriques, turquoises, orangées ou vertes. «​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​C'est mon grand dada de jouer avec ce que la nature m'a offert en termes de nuances, de textures, de motifs… Dans mon sujet, les plumes deviennent des fleurs, des feuilles, des pétales, des fruits… tout ce que l'on veut, en fait ! » Entre ses mains, l'oiseau, insaisissable, devient plus proche et révèle une partie de ses secrets. «​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​Ça me fascine, cette histoire d'oiseau. Ça ne me quittera jamais », souffle enfin Nelly Saunier. Avant de revenir à ses plumes, sa manière à elle de tutoyer les cieux. Nelly Saunier x Jardins, au château de Josselin (Bretagne) jusqu'au 31 août 2026. Plumes du Paradis, au musée du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac jusqu'au 8 novembre 2026.  À lire aussiL'art de la plume sans limites par Fanny Litzia, artiste et plumassière

Nate Bargatze Launches No Pictures as Zarna Garg Gets Stuck at HermèsJohnny Mac covers Zarna Garg's claim that she was trapped for about 1 hour 20 minutes in an Hermès store bathroom in Berlin while trying to buy an elusive handbag, with her team recording as she joked, made paper-towel origami, and staff eventually used a crowbar and firefighters to free her. He notes a pronunciation clip explaining “Hermès.” The episode also reports Nate Bargatze launching the edgier production banner No Pictures with producer Lawrence Gray while Nateland develops projects including the film Fantasy Camp and Netflix adult animated series Nateville. Rolling Stone allegations about Reggie Watts lead Comedy Bang Bang to replace his longtime theme and festivals to remove him from lineups; Watts denies being abusive.

Саламяная прыгажуня з касой і чырвона-зялёнымі стужкамі да “Дажынак”, асабістая доктарка Лукашэнкі з Hermès і Cartier на Лазурным Беразе, маладыя ўдзельніцы конкурсаў прыгажосці ў атачэнні кіраўніка дзяржавы, “будучыя мамы”, якіх дзяржава хоча спачатку абавязкова правяраць на рэпрадуктыўныя рызыкі, а пасля нараджэння дзіцяці — “хутчэй вяртаць у эканоміку”, і беларускі, якіх пасля допытаў на мяжы прымушаюць распранацца. На першы погляд — зусім розныя гісторыі. Але разам яны складаюцца ў красамоўны партрэт Года беларускай жанчыны. Якую жанчыну насамрэч хоча бачыць беларуская дзяржава і што праз гэта яна расказвае пра сябе? Як маладосць, прыгажосць і блізкасць да Лукашэнкі могуць канвертавацца ў статус і доступ да рэсурсаў, і чаму пасля допытаў і праверкі тэлефонаў на мяжы жанчын прымушаюць распранацца? Ці не становіцца цела яшчэ адной тэрыторыяй, на якой улада паказвае: межы тут вызначаеш не ты? Пра гэта і шмат што іншае мы і разважаем у новым выпуску “Гендар_гэпа” з даследчыцай медыя, улады і гендару Ірынай Сідорскай

As you may have heard, I was welcomed into Berlin, Germany by being locked in the Hermès bathroom for over an hour with possibly the worst staff I've ever met. No apology and constant reluctance to help. This episode is now a full family heated debate over luxury stores and how we let them abuse us. It's a raw, honest, and real discussion, and it ended with a pledge I've made that shocked my family. Do you agree with us? Are you also shopping at luxury stores? We want to hear your perspective because it's an understatement to say that ours have changed. And before you go, text a question to 855-608-1717 on SMS or WhatsApp for a chance to get a shoutout in the next episode!

This week, Jason is joined by The Real Housewives of Miami standout and Shoma Group president Stephanie Shojaee for a conversation about building massive wealth, growing a multi-billion-dollar real estate business, and why relentless ambition has been at the center of everything she has accomplished. The first-generation Colombian American opens up about growing up determined to become “filthy rich,” eventually helping lead a development company that has completed more than $6 billion in real estate transactions—and using reality TV as a platform to expand the Shoma brand globally. Stephanie breaks down how her approach to money changed after meeting her husband, Masoud, from focusing solely on earning and saving to investing, using debt strategically, and continuously putting capital back to work. She shares how her modern approach to branding and marketing helped increase Shoma's business by roughly 30%, while expanding its recognition beyond South Florida and into markets including Dubai. She also reveals the unforgettable $240,000 payday she earned after refusing to give up on a deal that fell apart three separate times. Jason and Stephanie also dive into her unconventional leadership style, including building Shoma's nine-person, all-women Latina marketing team largely with young hires straight out of school. Stephanie explains why she believes in discipline, tough love, and throwing employees “in the pool” to see whether they sink or swim—and why she has no problem moving on quickly when someone isn't the right fit. Plus, Stephanie gets candid about life on The Real Housewives of Miami, why she originally turned the show down for years, and why representing an ambitious, successful Latina businesswoman ultimately helped change her mind. She also shares the wild story of having more than $200,000 worth of belongings stolen from her villa in Cannes, her thoughts on prenups and combining love and money, and the luxury purchase that recently made her say, “Damn, that was expensive”—an Hermès bracelet costing upwards of $250,000. Stephanie reveals why putting on the blinders, eliminating distractions, investing rather than simply earning, and staying relentlessly focused on your goals have been key to her success. She also leaves Jason with a different kind of trading secret: after 15 years with her husband, never go to bed angry and never allow disrespect to become normalized in a relationship. She reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss! Host: Jason Tartick Audio: John Gurney Video: Marc Colcer Guest: Stephanie Shojaee Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we head to Main Street in Annapolis to meet Kristen Umana, co-owner of Local Coast, a homegrown coastal lifestyle and apparel brand that got its start in 2021 and now has stores in Annapolis and Severna Park. Kristen tells us how an idea born during COVID grew from online sales and local pop-ups into two brick-and-mortar stores. We talk about her background with Ralph Lauren and Hermès, the family effort behind Local Coast's original designs, why crabs and Orange Crushes are naturally big sellers, and how the company gives back to organizations including the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and Annapolis Maritime Museum. We also get into running a business with your spouse and four kids in the mix, the differences between the Annapolis and Severna Park stores, and where Local Coast might be headed next. It's a truly local brand inspired by the Chesapeake and the people who call this area home. Have a listen.

ESPN's Herm Edwards joins The Next Round for a wide-ranging conversation about the biggest storylines across the NFL heading into the season. The former NFL head coach and longtime football analyst shares his thoughts on Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders, including expectations for Daniels as he continues to emerge as one of the league's biggest young stars. Herm also breaks down John Harbaugh taking over the New York Giants and what the veteran coach could bring to New York. Plus, could Aaron Donald actually return to the Los Angeles Rams? Herm weighs in on the possibility of the future Hall of Famer coming out of retirement and what a comeback would mean for the Rams. We also dive into the Las Vegas Raiders and Fernando Mendoza. Should the Raiders bring their prized young quarterback along slowly, or put him on the field immediately? Herm believes the answer is simple: play him from the jump. And what about Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs? Are Mahomes' best days still ahead of him, or have we already witnessed the peak of one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history?

Amazon keeps raising the bar. Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc open with the retailer's blockbuster quarter: massive gains in AWS and advertising, staggering AI capex, and retail revenue up 16% year over year, up from 12% last year. Third-party sellers now drive more than 60% of the business, and Citi pegs underlying GMV growth near 10%, roughly double the industry average. Amazon's B2B division alone now tops $60 billion, bigger than all but eleven U.S. retailers. Then the hosts dig into the agentic commerce numbers Amazon disclosed as Rufus folds into Alexa shopping, why sample bias demands caution here, and how grocery momentum is turning Amazon into a mega market-share threat.  Then: Shopify's revenue up 32%, and the tale-of-two-cities reality that a handful of giants now drive nearly all e-commerce growth. A mid-year check on Steve's Prediction #8 — luxury's future won't be evenly distributed. LVMH, Kering, and Capri lag on China softness and war induced Gulf weakness, while Hermès, Ralph Lauren, Richemont, and Zegna keep delivering outsized results. Live from the CommerceNext Growth Show: Kartik Hosanagar. He's Wharton's John C. Hower Professor of Technology and Digital Business, author of A Human's Guide to Machine Intelligence, and co-founder of Bliss Labs. His argument: the biggest shift in retail isn't a new technology or channel. It's a new customer. Treating AI as another distribution channel is the same mistake movie studios made with Netflix. There's no marketing science for AI yet. $9.99 pricing, scarcity, social proof — a model may not respond to any of it. Kartik walks through the Ridge wallet case: invisible in ChatGPT's "gifts for men" results, then the default recommendation within three weeks, complete with a hallucinated promotion. Every retailer faces the same fork: efficiency or meaning. The middle is the most dangerous place to stand. Kartik also details the simulation sandboxes that let brands test counterfactuals in a day instead of eight weeks, why you can't just ask an LLM why it picked a brand, and the three attitudes retailers need now: curious, experimental, collaborative Back in studio: Wayfair's encouraging quarter and Steve's change of heart, Warby Parker's mixed report as store count passes 400, tariff rebates ($100 billion of $160 billion already repaid, more tariffs looming), and whether live selling has hit its tipping point with QVC out of bankruptcy and Whatnot valued at $20 billion.

¿Por qué una cartera puede costar más que un auto? ¿Qué hace que un reloj, un Ferrari o una obra de arte valgan mucho más que los materiales con los que fueron fabricados? En este episodio hablamos de la industria del lujo, un mercado que mueve más de un billón de euros y que se apoya en algo difícil de medir: el deseo. Repasamos cómo nacieron marcas como Hermès, Louis Vuitton y Ferrari, por qué estas empresas controlan tanto la producción y la distribución, cómo consiguen mantener márgenes extraordinarios y cuáles son los riesgos de invertir en compañías que dependen de conservar su exclusividad. También analizamos el crecimiento del mercado de segunda mano, el uso de algunos bienes de lujo como reserva o traslado de valor y las distintas formas de invertir en el sector mediante acciones o ETF. Un episodio para entender por qué, en el lujo, el costo está en los materiales, pero el precio está en la historia, la escasez y el significado que la marca consiguió construir. El precio del deseo: cómo funciona el negocio del lujo

Apparently, self-driving cars don't know where they shouldn't park Self-driving cars are proving to be remarkably safe on the road and, so far, have demonstrated a better safety record than human drivers in many situations. However, like all technology, they still lack common sense. They may be able to navigate traffic, but they don't always understand where they can and more importantly, cannot park.   Over the past year and a half or so in Austin, Texas, Waymo's fleet of roughly 300 robotaxis has accumulated nearly $10,000 in parking tickets. While autonomous vehicles are doing well when it comes to following maps and traffic laws, they can become confused in situations that require human judgment. Reports indicate they sometimes struggle to follow directions from first responders, stop in places that block traffic, park in handicap spaces, or fail to recognize tow-away zones.   One notable incident in 2025 involved a Waymo vehicle that stopped on the side of a road in northern Austin while blocking an active railroad crossing. Police reportedly weren't sure how to move the vehicle, so they called a tow truck to remove it. There have also been reports of Waymo vehicles stopping in front of parking garage entrances and parking lot access points for no obvious reason, preventing other drivers from entering or exiting.   These issues will likely be resolved as the technology improves. Still, they highlight an important limitation. These robotaxis can process enormous amounts of data and make incredibly complex driving decisions, but it doesn't possess the instinctive common sense that people rely on everyday. For now, that's one area where humans still have an advantage over machines.   Why Interest Rates Could Stay Higher Than Many Expect One of the biggest debates in financial markets today is where interest rates are heading. While recessions can temporarily push yields lower, there are several long-term structural reasons why interest rates may remain elevated compared to what investors became accustomed to after the 2008 financial crisis.   The first and perhaps most important issue is the federal government's fiscal position. U.S. federal debt has climbed to roughly $40 trillion which is about 120% of GDP, a level that is historically very high outside of major wars or national emergencies. For much of the post-World War II period, debt-to-GDP remained well below current levels before accelerating sharply after the financial crisis and again during the pandemic.   Just as concerning is the federal deficit. The government continues to run annual deficits exceeding 5% of GDP, meaning debt is growing faster than the economy itself. As long as Washington continues borrowing at a pace that exceeds economic growth, the debt burden becomes increasingly difficult to stabilize. More Treasury issuance means investors must absorb a growing supply of government bonds, which can place upward pressure on yields unless demand keeps pace.   Another factor is the Federal Reserve's balance sheet. During the financial crisis and the pandemic, the Fed became one of the largest buyers of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities, helping suppress long-term interest rates through quantitative easing.   While the Fed has begun reducing its holdings, its balance sheet remains enormous by historical standards. Federal Reserve assets of about $6.7 trillion are currently equal to roughly 21% of U.S. GDP. Before the2008-09 financial crisis, the Fed's balance sheet averaged only about 6% of GDP, meaning it remains more than three times larger than its pre-crisis norm. Although assets have declined from the April 2022 peak of approximately $9 trillion, or roughly 35% of GDP, the balance sheet is still exceptionally large compared to history. Another comparison that is troubling is Fed holdings currently amount to about 26.5% of all assets held by U.S. commercial banks versus the norm of about 10% before the financial crisis.   Continuing to shrink the balance sheet would allow private markets to play a larger role in determining interest rates while reducing the Federal Reserve's extraordinary footprint in financial markets. A return toward more normal market functioning would likely mean less artificial downward pressure on long-term yields.   History also provides perspective on where Treasury yields could ultimately settle. Since 1958, the 10-year Treasury yield has averaged roughly 1.92 percentage points above inflation. That is simply a long-run average and there have been periods when the spread exceeded 5 percentage points and others when it turned negative, but it does give some guidance on a normalized level for the 10-year treasury.   When it comes to mortgage rates, they are closely tied to Treasury yields as well. Historically, the spread between the 30-year fixed mortgage rate and the 10-year Treasury yield has generally averaged about 1.5%to 2%, reflecting credit risk, servicing costs, and other factors. Post Covid, this spread did spike to over 3%, but that 1.5% to 2% range seems to be pretty consistent going back to 1990. If Treasury yields remain structurally higher because of persistent deficits, elevated debt levels, and a still-large Federal Reserve balance sheet, mortgage rates could also remain above the exceptionally low levels many homeowners became accustomed to.   None of this means rates cannot decline during economic slowdowns or recessions. They almost certainly will at times. But investors expecting a permanent return to near-zero interest rates may be overlooking the structural forces now shaping the bond market. High government debt, persistent fiscal deficits, continued Treasury issuance, and a Federal Reserve balance sheet that remains well above historical norms all suggest that the era of ultra-cheap money may prove to be the exception rather than the rule.   Should You Buy or Sell That Luxury Brand Stock? Luxury brand stocks that sell high-end handbags, jewelry, and other luxury goods have been in a bear market for the past couple of years. After aggressively raising prices during and immediately following the pandemic, it appears the buying frenzy for luxury products has faded.   There may be one bright spot beginning to emerge, particularly in the jewelry category. Richemont, the parent company of Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Buccellati, reported a 24% year-over-year increase in jewelry sales in its most recent quarter. If you don't recognize those brands, don't worry, the important takeaway is that they sell some of the world's most expensive jewelry, and demand in that segment has remained surprisingly resilient.   Luxury giants, including Kering, the parent company of Gucci, as well as LVMH and Hermès have suffered steep declines over the past few years. LVMH has fallen from more than $900 per share to around $500, while Kering has dropped from over $900 to roughly $300 as Gucci's sales have struggled.   During the pandemic, some consumers even purchased luxury handbags with the expectation that they would appreciate in value. While a handful of extremely rare bags have done just that, those cases are the exception rather than the rule. If you're buying a luxury handbag, buy it because you genuinely enjoy it not because you expect it to become a profitable investment.   The same caution applies to the stocks. My view is that the surge in luxury spending during and immediately after COVID was fueled by an extraordinary amount of stimulus money and excess savings, creating an artificial spike in demand. As those conditions have faded, so has the appetite for expensive discretionary purchases.   While there may be periods of recovery, especially in categories like jewelry, I don't expect the luxury sector to return to the pandemic-era buying frenzy anytime soon. That makes me cautious on both the products themselves as investments and the stocks that depend on that level of consumer spending.   The Paramount deal just can't stay out of the news Next month will mark one year since Paramount began its pursuit of Warner Bros. What started as an unsolicited bid eventually turned into an agreement for Paramount to acquire Warner Bros. in an $81 billion deal. However, the transaction continues to face significant legal hurdles.   Several state attorneys general have raised antitrust concerns, forcing the deal into the court system. In the meantime, Paramount has agreed to pay a $650 million per quarter "ticking fee" if the deal is not completed by September 30. On top of that, the company's legal bill has already reached roughly $160 million, and the case hasn't even gone to trial yet.   The costs only increase from here. If the merger is ultimately blocked or isn't completed by June 2027, Paramount would owe Warner Bros. a staggering $7 billion breakup fee.   Paramount is pushing to begin the trial by November 4, but the attorneys general seeking to block the deal want to delay proceedings until next April. Paramount does have some leverage, as it has major operations and thousands of employees in states such as California, New York, and New Jersey. Even California Governor Gavin Newsom has encouraged the state's attorney general to find an out-of-court resolution.   For investors, this has been an extremely nerve-racking situation. Paramount shares are currently trading around $8, down roughly 41% year to date after starting the year near $13.40 per share. Every delay adds more uncertainty, more legal expenses, and more ticking fees.   There are also strong incentives for the companies involved to get the deal across the finish line. Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav could reportedly receive compensation worth more than $800 million if the transaction is completed, giving him a significant financial incentive to see the merger succeed.   This will likely continue to test shareholders' patience. As the legal battle drags on, the legal bills and ticking fees continue to pile up. It makes me wonder: Is this deal really worth it for David Ellison and Paramount?   Should U.S. Car Makers Like Ford and General Motors Diversify Their Businesses? It's no secret that the auto industry is highly cyclical, with periods of strong demand followed by inevitable slowdowns. Right now, both Ford and General Motors are generating significant cash flow and posting solid earnings despite paying billions of dollars in tariff costs and writing off substantial losses from their electric vehicle investments. But the question investors should be asking is: when does the party end?   One concern is affordability. New vehicle prices continue to rise, making it increasingly difficult for many consumers, especially younger buyers, to purchase a car. At the same time, younger generations simply don't seem as excited about getting behind the wheel as previous generations were.   The numbers are striking. Today, only about 25% of 16-year-olds have a driver's license, roughly half the percentage from 1980, when about 50% were licensed. Even among 18-year-olds, only around 60% have a driver's license today, compared with roughly 80% nearly five decades ago. Ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft have made it easier for young adults to pay for transportation rather than own a vehicle themselves. I also can't help but wonder how that's changed the dating scene compared with past generations.   The auto industry has faced this type of challenge before. During the 1980s, both Ford and General Motors spent billions of dollars diversifying into financial services and defense businesses. Meanwhile, Toyota stayed focused on building reliable, high-quality vehicles that consumers wanted to buy. While Detroit was chasing diversification, Toyota was steadily gaining market share with better products.   I hope today's management teams remember that lesson. Auto manufacturing will always be cyclical, and no business grows every single year. The best long-term strategy may be to focus on building vehicles that customers genuinely want rather than chasing growth in unrelated industries.   That said, there are signs that history could be repeating itself. Ford recently announced Ford Energy, a grid-scale battery storage business, while General Motors continues expanding its military vehicle business and is working with Lockheed Martin on defense-related technologies. These ventures could prove successful, but investors should hope management doesn't lose sight of its core business.   History has shown that the companies producing the best vehicles over the long run are usually the ones that create the most value for shareholders.   A Weak Jobs Report, But There Were a Few Bright Spots There is no sugarcoating it, today's jobs report was weaker than expected and adds to the evidence that the labor market is continuing to cool. Total nonfarm payroll employment fell by 23,000 jobs in the month and May and June saw a combined negative revision of 103,000 jobs. May was revised from 129,000 to 66,000 and June was revised from 57,000 to 20,000.   Even though the report was softer than anticipated, the headline payroll number doesn't tell the entire story. A meaningful portion of the weakness came from government employment as it fell by 53,000 jobs in the month. Local government education jobs were particularly weak with a decline of 50,000 jobs as they can be volatile during the summer because of seasonal adjustments.   There also appear to be temporary distortions related to the FIFA World Cup, which likely shifted hiring patterns. Leisure and hospitality showed a decline of 40,000 jobs and retail trade declined by 19,000 jobs. Those factors don't erase the weakness, but they do suggest the private sector wasn't quite as soft as the headline number implies.   There were still several areas of strength in the report worth highlighting. Healthcare remained a key driver of payroll growth, adding 22,000 jobs. While that was below its 12-month average of 36,000, it continues to be one of the strongest and most consistent sources of job creation. Construction also posted a solid gain, with payrolls increasing by 22,000, suggesting that demand in the sector remains resilient despite elevated interest rates and ongoing affordability challenges.   The unemployment rate remained one of the stronger aspects of the report, falling to 4.1%. By historical standards, that still reflects a relatively healthy labor market. However, there is an important caveat. The labor force participation rate declined again, meaning fewer Americans were either working or actively looking for work.   The participation rate fell to 61.4%, its lowest level in more than five years and, excluding the Covid pandemic, the lowest reading in roughly 50 years. Likewise, the employment-to-population ratio slipped to 58.9%, its lowest level since May 2014. A declining participation rate can make the unemployment rate appear stronger than it actually is because people who stop looking for work are no longer counted as unemployed.   One positive development was wage inflation. Average hourly earnings continued to moderate, with annual wage growth slowing to roughly 3.2%. That's much closer to a pace consistent with the Federal Reserve's inflation target and suggests wage pressures are continuing to ease without collapsing. Slower wage growth should help reduce inflationary pressures while still allowing workers to see income gains.   The next few monthly reports will be important. If private-sector hiring continues to weaken and participation keeps falling, concerns about the broader economy will likely increase. But if today's weakness proves to be exaggerated by temporary factors, the labor market may still be on track for a gradual slowdown rather than a sharp deterioration.   Financial Planning: Understanding Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) Employees who have built up significant company stock inside their 401(k) may have a valuable tax planning opportunity called Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA). NUA allows retirees to move company stock from their retirement plan into a brokerage account and receive long-term capital gains treatment on the stock's growth instead of paying higher ordinary income tax rates. The benefit of NUA can be significant for employees who purchased company stock at a low cost and saw it grow substantially over time. However, the decision involves a tradeoff: the stock's original cost basis becomes taxable as ordinary income in the year of distribution in exchange for the benefit of receiving long-term capital gains treatment on the appreciation when shares are eventually sold. If the cost basis is too large, the upfront tax liability may outweigh the potential tax savings, and keeping the stock inside a retirement account and paying ordinary income taxes on future withdrawals may be the better strategy.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova. I'm thrilled to welcome you back to a series I did with my dear friend, Roger Martin. He's the author of the amazing book, Playing to Win. In this episode, Roger and I dive into Beyond Network Economics.    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…business leaders, marketers, founders, and anyone looking to build deeper customer loyalty by creating experiences people want to be part of.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…for years, businesses have focused on network effects: adding more customers to create more value. Roger argues that's no longer enough. Instead, the companies pulling ahead are creating "worlds" that customers genuinely want to belong to, where the relationships between customers become just as valuable as the product itself. Through examples like TikTok, Hermès, Nike, Starbucks, and Ford, Roger explains why building community may be the next evolution of strategy.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Network effects helped build today's biggest technology companies but they aren't an unbeatable competitive advantage. The strongest brands create communities where customers want to interact with one another. Companies that disrupt or ignore their customer communities risk damaging long-term loyalty. Strategy should focus on creating experiences and relationships, not simply acquiring more users. Brands that successfully shape a world around their customers create advantages that competitors struggle to replicate.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…Roger challenges the idea that customers are simply individuals to acquire. Instead, he reminds us that the strongest businesses create communities people genuinely want to belong to. That's a much more durable competitive advantage.   Running Time: 29:10   Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Roger Online: LinkedIn Website

Schuyler had two rules for raising babies: no diapers, and no staying home.In this episode, Jeff explains how letting his daughters toddle around bare-bottomed sped up potty-training, and how refusing to curb their social life meant babies at yoga retreats, dinner parties, and late nights with friends. Both strategies mostly worked, until they crossed paths one night at a party in Clinton Hill. John Currin's Hermès loafer never stood a chance. This is the fourth episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words.

Das echtgeld.tv-Depot steht aktuell bei 422.017 Euro. Seit dem letzten Depot-Update Anfang Juni hat es 3,6 Prozent zugelegt und damit den breiten Welt-ETF geschlagen. Seit dem 19. Dezember fällt das Bild allerdings anders aus! Tobias Kramer erklärt, welche Rolle die geringere Technologiegewichtung dabei spielt, warum er sich mit seiner Allokation und dem Risiko-Management dennoch wohlfühlt und wo er jetzt neues Kapital investiert. Im Mittelpunkt stehen mehrere konkrete Portfolio-Entscheidungen: • Aus dem Tabakdepot fließen 607 Euro Dividenden zurück in Imperial Brands. Tobias kauft 18 weitere Aktien und setzt damit erneut auf die aus seiner Sicht attraktivste Bewertung unter seinen fünf Tabakwerten. • Das Gesundheitsportfolio wächst über drei ETF-Sparpläne weiter: MSCI World Healthcare, MSCI Europe Healthcare sowie Medical Robotics and Bionic Engineering. • Die Übernahme von TruBridge ist abgeschlossen. Aus dem ursprünglichen Einsatz von rund 1.200 Euro wurde eine Gutschrift von gut 2.600 Euro. Aber, da wird es noch ein Update geben! • Im DAX-Portfolio investiert Tobias die erhaltenen Dividenden neu. Für die bislang kleinste Position Henkel stellt er eine Limit-Order über sieben Aktien zu 75,75 Euro ein. • PayPal, Shimano, Fresenius und Novo Nordisk sorgten in den vergangenen zwei Monaten für deutlichen Rückenwind. Bei PayPal treiben zusätzlich die Übernahmegerüchte den Kurs. • Samsung verliert seit Anfang Juni knapp 28 Prozent. Tobias bleibt dennoch investiert und erklärt, warum die Aktie auf Basis der aktuellen Gewinnschätzungen weiterhin außergewöhnlich günstig erscheint. • Bei Hermès nutzt Tobias den jüngsten Kursrückgang und verdoppelt seine Position. Die Aktie liegt fast 50 Prozent unter ihrem früheren Höchststand, bleibt mit einem erwarteten KGV von rund 30 aber anspruchsvoll bewertet. • Außerdem geht es um SAP auf der Watchlist, die langfristige Entwicklung des Tabakdepots sowie die jüngsten Rückgänge bei 2G Energy, Palantir und Energiekontor. Welche der im Video genannten Aktien würdet ihr auf dem aktuellen Kursniveau aufstocken – und warum?

Prende quota l’ipotesi di una fusione tra Monte dei Paschi di Siena e Banco Bpm come alternativa alle operazioni di mercato ipotizzate nelle ultime settimane. Lo scenario, ritenuto il più probabile dagli amministratori delegati Luigi Lovaglio e Giuseppe Castagna, potrebbe portare alla convocazione dei cda straordinari prima dell’approvazione dei conti semestrali. Gli advisor delle due banche stanno valutando le diverse opzioni strategiche. Interviene Fabio Tamburini - Il Sole 24 OreCon le trimestrali il lusso torna di moda in borsaIl settore del lusso torna ad attirare gli investitori dopo il calo registrato nel 2025. Le stime indicano una ripresa del mercato dei beni personali, sostenuta dal miglioramento delle aspettative sugli utili, dai segnali di recupero della Cina e da valutazioni tornate più convenienti. Resta però una forte differenza tra i marchi più solidi, come Hermès e Richemont, e quelli ancora impegnati in processi di rilancio. Ne parliamo con Giulia Crivelli, Il Sole 24 OreBorse in rialzo con calo tensioni in Iran e greggio in frenata. A Milano scatta Ferrari.Facciamo il punto della giornata finanziaria con Carlo Aloisio, analista finanziario.

If you think you have to move to New York or LA to make it in fashion, this episode says otherwise.Jack Savoie joins us from Denver to talk about building a fashion career — and a viral following — without uprooting your life. We get into how a fake Manolo Blahnik callout on TikTok caught Bethenny Frankel's attention and took him from 20K to 67K followers overnight, why he still works full-time as a buyer at A.Line while creating content on the side, and how he broke the news that Sabrina Carpenter was wearing Dior at Coachella before Vogue's own exclusive dropped. We also talk about his path from Nordstrom shoe sales to designer buying, the "Shoes of the Past" series that turned fashion nostalgia into a cultural moment, and his advice for anyone trying to break into the industry without an internship or a big city zip code.In this episode, we get into:How Jack built a career in fashion while staying based in Denver, and why he doesn't think you need to live in New York or LA to make it in the industryThe story behind his viral Manolo Blahnik video — how he spotted a fake shoe in a Bethenny Frankel TikTok and grew from 20K to 67K followers in under 24 hoursHis path from selling shoes at Nordstrom to becoming a buyer at boutique retailer A.LineHow "Shoes of the Past," his series on discontinued cult shoes like the YSL Eiffel Tower cage boot and the Isabel Marant Beckett wedge, became his biggest content waveWhat it's actually like balancing a full-time buying job with a content career, and how he manages burnoutHow he broke the news that Sabrina Carpenter wore Dior at Coachella before Vogue's own exclusive was publishedHis biggest recent splurge — a surprise Birkin 30 in Rouge H from his longtime Hermès sales associate — and why he waits months before wearing new purchasesThe brands and designers he thinks are doing the best work right now, including Chanel, Dior, and KallmeyerHis current red carpet favorites, from Teyana Taylor and Margot Robbie to Sombr's fashion-forward run this yearHis advice for anyone trying to break into fashion without a traditional industry job or big-city moveJack SavoieInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesavoiedailyTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jack.savoieLet's Get DressedYouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpodNewsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperezLet's Get DressedYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

In 1985, one the world's most recognisable fashion accessories was first launched – the Birkin handbag.Its origins have since become legend. The actress and model Jane Birkin said she was on a flight to London when her bag and contents spilt over the floor.The passenger sitting next to her remarked that she needed a bigger bag, and offered to make it for her. His name was Jean-Louis Dumas, then chief executive of the leather goods company, Hermès.The design was sketched on the plane's sickbag, and the resulting leather holdall was christened the Birkin, after its inspiration.Today, the price tag ranges from a few thousand dollars to more than $200,000 for limited design versions, and it's often seen on the arms of celebrities and socialites.Jane Wilkinson looks back at its history, using BBC archive.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Cette semaine, je reçois dans Demain N'attend Pas Wale Gbadamosi-Oyekanmi, un entrepreuneur brillant, entre la France et le Nigeria, infatigable pourfendeur des stéréotypes.Pendant des années, Wale a développé Dare Win, son agence de marketing digital et d'influence pour les plus grandes marques : Spotify, Nike, Hermès... Arrive 2020 et la pandémie, la mort de George Floyd et le mouvement Black Life Matters. Un séisme. Wale sent qu'il ne peut plus se contenter de réussir « pour lui » ou de se rassurer dans des bulles confortables. Il décide de mettre son expertise, son réseau, son expérience au service de la société .Il soutient des médias indépendants engagés dans la diffusion d'autres récits, il s'engage contre la montée de l'extrême droite, il sensibilise la jeunesse aux problèmes de santé mentale, il soutient des films qui nous aider à porter un autre regard sur le handicap... Toujours en utilisant l'influence et les médias au service d'une cause. Dans cet extrait, Wale nous raconte comment il a été amené à créer le collectif citoyen “Mouiller le maillot”, avec une poignée de créatifs engagés.Leur idée ? Lutter contre l'abstention des jeunes en reprenant les codes du sport et en utilisant la force du maillot comme symbole, pour rappeler aux jeunes qu'ils peuvent peser sur le jeu.Résultat : en deux semaines, une campagne virale relayée par les influenceurs, les stars du foot et les acteurs de terrain, qui a contribué à faire remonter la participation des jeunes.Ce qui m'a frappée dans l'échange avec Wale, c'est sa façon très directe de refuser la résignation, d'utiliser sa réussite pour bouger les lignes sur des causes importantes et d'embarquer tout un collectif derrière lui avec une incroyable énergie.Dès demain, retrouvez l'épisode entier. On y parle de notre pouvoir d'action.Quand tout paraît déjà joué, c'est le moment pour chacun d'entre nous de reprendre la main !Hébergé par Ausha.

From a University Dorm Room to RSS.com: The Alberto Betella Story - Marv sits down with Alberto Betella, co-founder of RSS.com, following a chance meeting at the Podcast Show in London. Alberto traces an origin story that stretches back two decades — from building the open-source Podcast Generator as a university literature student in Italy in 2005, to a serendipitous 2017 email from RSS.com co-founder Ben that led to the launch of RSS.com's podcast hosting platform in 2018.The conversation ranges widely: the technical and philosophical roots of the RSS feed, why the podcasting industry is unusually collaborative rather than cutthroat, the psychology (and neuroscience) of why listeners trust podcast hosts, the promise and risk of AI in podcast production, why niche shows may outlast viral hits, the future of podcast discovery, and the thorny problem of music licensing in podcasts. The episode closes with a run of listener-submitted questions and Alberto's own podcast recommendations.Key Discussion Points:The origin story: Podcast Generator (2005–2018)How RSS.com came to beWhy podcasting's competitors collaborateThe psychology of the podcast listener relationshipAI in podcastingListener Q&A: Cam (Jacked Up Review Show): How does podcasting's technology compare to other engineering fields? → Discussion of Podcasting 2.0 tags, the location tag, and Alberto's own project, Atlas (atlas.rss.io), a visual network map of cross-podcast recommendations built on Podcast Index "PodRoll" data.Gill (The Mindbuzz Podcast): What separates shows that last 10 years from those that vanish? → Alberto's "niche over virality" thesis, and RSS.com's free-forever plan for local/niche shows.Phil Better (The Podcast Mogul's Playbook): How will podcast marketing change? → Preference for human-to-human cross-promotion and guesting over automated "feed drops," plus a nod to Apple Podcasts auto-linking recommended shows found in transcripts.Stephen Nicholson (Sheer Pod Attack): What's next in podcast discovery, especially for niche music podcasts? → Human recommendation networks (again, Atlas/PodRoll) and the unresolved global licensing problem for music-in-podcasts, including a tangent comparing it to how international postal services reconcile costs.Alberto's own listening habitsRegulars: Podnews Weekly Review, Podcasting 2.0, The New Media Show, Podbiz (by Norma Jean).Personal favorite outside the industry: Acquired, especially its long-form deep dives (F1, Hermès, etc.).

Once upon a time, if you wanted to buy a luxury brand item secondhand (say, a Chanel handbag) you had to have an in. There was no easy way to find one. But over the past decade, the market for secondhand luxury goods has exploded. There are now many online resellers where you can shop for used and discounted luxury items. One big problem — how can you be sure if it's real and authentic?Some online resellers claim to have solved this problem. They say they've developed a process of authentication, and so buyers can trust that the bag is really Gucci or Cartier or Hermès or whatever. But according to some luxury brands, authenticity is something that is often imitated but never replicated.In today's episode of Planet Money, the fight between Chanel and The RealReal. And how luxury brands are reacting to the enormous and growing secondhand market for luxury goods.Support:Planet Money+Read: Our book: Planet Money: A Guide to the Economic Forces That Shape Your LifeOur weekly longform Planet Money newsletterOur weekly Indicator round-up newsletterFollow: InstagramTikTokYouTubeFacebookThis episode of Planet Money was hosted by Amanda Aronczyk and Jeff Guo.
