    In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Sergio Tache, founder and CEO of Dossier, the viral fragrance brand rewriting the rules of luxury. What started as a simple question—“Why should smelling good cost $150?”—has evolved into a global movement redefining access, quality, and transparency in the world of scent.Sergio shares his unconventional journey from finance to fragrance, revealing how a curiosity for entrepreneurship led him to challenge one of beauty's most exclusive markets. Dossier began with a clear mission: make high-quality, cruelty-free perfumes with premium ingredients—without the markup. What emerged was not just an affordable alternative, but an entirely new way for consumers to explore fragrance through layering, discovery, and personalization.From its early “impressions” collection inspired by luxury icons to its growing line of original creations like It Factor, Dossier has evolved from “dupe” to disruptor—proving that true luxury is about integrity, not price tags. Sergio also lifts the curtain on the brand's minimalist ethos: recyclable packaging, transparent sourcing, and French craftsmanship that speaks for itself.As the fragrance landscape shifts, Dossier stands out for celebrating individuality and inclusivity. Sergio discusses how consumer preferences are changing—toward genderless scents, mindful spending, and authenticity—and why the future of fragrance lies in accessibility, not aspiration.Tune in to hear how Dossier is democratizing luxury, one scent at a time—and why the next evolution of perfume is all about confidence, creativity, and connection.Shop all Dossier Fragrances!CHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Guest Welcome0:54 – Sergio's Transition from Finance to Fragrance2:18 – Founding Dossier & Making Luxury Accessible4:01 – Value vs. Discovery in Fragrance5:37 – Breaking Down Luxury Pricing7:16 – From “Dupes” to Original Creations10:57 – Fragrance as an Everyday Luxury11:43 – Lessons from Building Dossier16:44 – Craft, Packaging & the Future of FragrancePlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

    The Way Out Is In
    Cultivating Joy and Togetherness in the Midst of Hardship (Episode #95)

    The Way Out Is In

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 16, 2025 108:54


    Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. This is the recording of our second live public event, which recently took place in London. Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino are joined on stage by special guest Ocean Vuong, Vietnamese American poet, essayist, and novelist. Their conversation explores the themes of joy, togetherness, and cultivating courage in the face of hardship and suffering; the role of language, narrative, and technology in shaping modern experiences of suffering and joy; intergenerational trauma; and more. All three share personal experiences and insights about finding meaning and community amidst individual and collective challenges. Ocean recollects the way that, growing up in a community impacted by the opioid crisis, Buddhism and the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh provided solace and a path to understanding suffering, while Brother Phap Huu reflects on his journey to become a Zen Buddhist monk, and the role of kindness, fearlessness, and vulnerability in his practice. The discussion culminates with a chant offered by Ocean as a message of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.

Merwin. “Being a Vietnamese person in the diaspora, for many of us, the temple or the church or what have you is the place where we hear Vietnamese at the longest unbroken duration. Whereas someone native to Vietnam would hear it all the time. So, to this day, the Vietnamese language, to me, elicits this collective desire to heal and understand suffering. And it’s very specific to the immigrant. It’s what I call a third culture: there’s nothing like it in the homeland; there’s nothing like it in the assimilated American ethos. But there’s this special place that displacement and violence created.” “In Plum Village, when I first entered, I was 13 years old, and I touched a kind of kindness that I’d never touched before. And I asked myself whether I could be a kind person. I think I’m good; I think I’m going to have a career of offering smiles.” “I invite us, as a collective, to invoke this peace that we can bring in our hearts and into the world at this moment. Body, speech, and mind in perfect oneness. I send my heart along with the sound of this bell. May the hearers awaken from forgetfulness and transcend the path of anxiety and sorrow.” “Just a smile can save someone’s life.” “Technology was supposed to bring us together. This is the promise of the Enlightenment. But it’s interesting that all technological movements or renaissances are controlled by the wealthy and the elites. So what I’m interested in, as a writer, as a teacher, is that so much of our world is about material resources and narrative. And this is why I tell my students, ‘They shame you for being a poet, for being a writer: “Oh, you’re doing this liberal arts, naval-gazing, decadent thing, dreaming”' – but the politicians and the elites are poets too. The greatest political speech is the anaphora. Walt Whitman used it as a catalog, but you hear it: ‘We will heal the working class, we will heal the great divide, I will solve, we will heal this country’s heart, we will heal the middle class.' And that's why the anaphora is so useful: because it doesn’t have to explain itself.” “All those in power are also poets. They’re manipulating meaning, but for votes, for profit, for power, towards fascism. And no wonder the system is designed to make you ashamed to be an artist. It’s so interesting, isn’t it, that, in the art world, we’re often asked to be humble, to be grateful for a seat at the table; to perform humility. And I think humility is good; as a Buddhist, I believe in it, but there is a discrepancy here: we never tell people on Wall Street to be humble. You never hear someone say, ‘You know what, we killed it last quarter, so let’s tone it down and be grateful that we have a seat at the economic table.'” “Kindness is more difficult now than ever because I think kindness is something that is deeply dependent on our proximity to suffering. It’s harder for us to comprehend suffering, now. Schadenfreude is in our hands and it’s always easier to see. We’ve normalized suffering so much that we’ve been disassociated from it.” “We speak about inclusiveness and equanimity in Buddhism, but we’re not equal. Some of us are born in places where we have more privileges: in a particular race, in a particular situation, in a particular year. But what is equal is, as human beings, we’re all going to grow old, we’re all going to get sick, we’re all going to have to let go of what we think is permanent. And we’re going to learn to live deeply in the present moment.” “Sadness becomes not just a feeling, but knowledge. So think about sadness as knowledge, as potential, and that anger even has an aftermath. And you realize that the aftermath of anger is care.” “The big trouble with masculinity is that we are not given the ability or the permission to feel and be vulnerable – but we are encouraged to have absolute agency. It’s incredible. It’s a perfect storm of violence: ‘Don’t feel, don’t interrogate, and don’t be vulnerable. But, meanwhile, go get ‘em, buddy.'” “Under our greatest fear is our greatest strength.” “Camus says that writing itself is optimism, because it’s suffering shared. Even if you write about the darkest things, it is optimistic because someone else will recognize it. And recognition is a democratic ideal, because it means that one feeling could then be taken and collaborated with.” “It’s really hard to convince people to go to war, historically. You need a lot of text, you need a lot of airwaves, you need a lot of speeches to convince people to go to war – but it's very easy to convince people to stop war. Very easy for people to stop armament. Difficult for folks who are in control to keep it up, but if you ask the general population, ‘Do you want peace?', it’s quick. So that gives me a little hope.” “In fast food is a kind of sinister beauty, because it’s an industrialized promise of absolute replication of fulfillment – and yet it’s a kind of poison as well. It’s like the ultimate democratic ideal, sadly: we can’t have equality, income equality, or healthcare, but we can all eat McDonald’s French fries, and, whether you’re a billionaire or a houseless person, it will taste the same. Likewise with Coca-Cola, etc. In a way it’s the sinister capaciousness of the American dream: you can all feel the same thing while you’re all slowly dying.”

    ‘Here be dragons' declares the Spectator's cover story this week, as it looks at the continuing fallout over the collapse of the trial of two political aides accused of spying for China in Westminster. Tim Shipman reveals that – under the last Conservative government – a data hub was sold to the Chinese that included highly classified information; one source describes this to him as a ‘stratospheric clusterfuck'. Why do successive governments seem to struggle with UK-China relations? And, with many unanswered questions still remaining, what's the truth over this case?  Host Lara Prendergast is joined by the Spectator's political editor Tim Shipman, arts editor Igor Toronyi-Lalic and deputy editor Freddy Gray.  As well as the cover, they discuss: how J.D. Vance appears unstoppable in the (silent) race to be the next Republican nominee for president; whether French, or British, parenting is better; and why the art of costume design, like so many crafts, is in decline.  Plus: is Sheridan Westlake, the most important Tory you've never heard of, really the ‘cockroach of Westminster'? Produced by Patrick Gibbons. The Spectator is trialling new formats for this podcast, and we would very much welcome feedback via this email address: podcast@spectator.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

    ‘Here be dragons' declares the Spectator's cover story this week, as it looks at the continuing fallout over the collapse of the trial of two political aides accused of spying for China in Westminster. Tim Shipman reveals that – under the last Conservative government – a data hub was sold to the Chinese that included highly classified information; one source describes this to him as a ‘stratospheric clusterfuck'. Why do successive governments seem to struggle with UK-China relations? And, with many unanswered questions still remaining, what's the truth over this case?  Host Lara Prendergast is joined by the Spectator's political editor Tim Shipman, arts editor Igor Toronyi-Lalic and deputy editor Freddy Gray.  As well as the cover, they discuss: how J.D. Vance appears unstoppable in the (silent) race to be the next Republican nominee for president; whether French, or British, parenting is better; and why the art of costume design, like so many crafts, is in decline.  Plus: is Sheridan Westlake, the most important Tory you've never heard of, really the ‘cockroach of Westminster'? Produced by Patrick Gibbons. The Spectator is trialling new formats for this podcast, and we would very much welcome feedback via this email address: podcast@spectator.co.ukBecome a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

     “You live a new life for every language you speak. If you know only one language, you live only once.” ―Czech proverb Did you know that 92% of students in Europe learn another language in school, and nearly a quarter of Canadians can hold a conversation in both English and French. Roughly one out of every two people on the planet knows at least two languages, and three out of four humans don't speak English. (source: ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) That may sound hyperbolic or pie-in-the-sky, but take a moment and consider what a democracy rests upon: civility, acceptance of differences, even if the majority rules, minority's rights are protected, along with a educated populous in vast fields of knowledge. These benefits, as we will talk about in more detail at the end of today's post, not only benefit the individual in the career and life pursuits, they also benefit the social and economic security of a democracy. "Growth in the number of people speaking languages in addition to English creates new opportunities for greater cross-cultural understanding, and integrates different ideas and perspectives in ways that will improve democratic discourse." —The Century Foundation As we get older, the argument is that it becomes more difficult to acquire a new language, and while that can be true, it depends more heavily upon the individual, their cognitive strength, the type of language they are learning (what Group level is it), as well as their awareness about what it takes to learn a new language. Yes, there will be challenges. Yes, you will be required to set aside your ego, and yes, it will take dedicated and consistent effort for at least 500 hours of learning to gain basic proficiency in a Grade I language (French and Spanish are included in this category). But the temporary stress is worth it for all that is gained. “A man who is ignorant of foreign languages is also ignorant of his own language.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Let's take a look four truths that are revealed about someone who chooses to learn a new language.

    Jim and Todd take the show on the road to the beautiful Elkwood Farm in Midway, Kentucky, home of Bluegrass Distillers. They sit down with friend of the show Sam Rock for his third appearance to discuss the distillery's incredible evolution and taste through a stellar lineup of their unique whiskeys. Sam shares the story of their new home, a historic farm they purchased in 2020 and transformed into a premier grain-to-glass distillery, complete with a stunning, speakeasy-style tasting room. The tasting journey begins with Bluegrass Distillers' signature 7-Year-Old Blue Corn Bourbon. Sam delves into the agricultural challenges and rewards of growing their own non-GMO blue corn, which imparts a distinctively nutty and balanced flavor compared to traditional yellow corn. This Bottled-in-Bond expression, made on their original pot still, offers a fantastic mouthfeel and a profile driven by the primary grain, a testament to the influence of unique corn varietals. Next, they sample the Midway 'Lee's Branch' Rye, a 7-year-old rye finished in toasted French oak barrels. This expression is part of the 'Midway' brand, a line of finished ryes that pays homage to the history of their new hometown. The hosts explore its complex notes of minty spice, toasty marshmallow, and a hint of Christmas spice, making for a perfect sipping rye. The third pour is a special single-barrel selection of their Toasted Oak Bourbon, bottled for the Bourbon Burn bike ride. Sam explains their double-barreling process, which involves reconditioning and toasting their own used barrels to bring sugars to the surface, creating a consistently sweet and balanced profile with notes of s'mores, toasted marshmallow, and rich chocolate. The lineup continues with a spectacular Spanish Oak Finished Bourbon. Sam recounts his journey to Spain during the pandemic-era barrel shortage, where he discovered a family-run cooperage that handcrafts barrels from aged staves. This 11-year-old sourced bourbon is finished in these unique Spanish Oak barrels, resulting in a deep mahogany color and a rich, savory flavor profile with a spicy, drying finish that captivates the hosts. To top off an incredible tasting, Sam brings out a bonus pour: a phenomenal 18-Year-Old Bourbon. This well-aged whiskey defies expectations, presenting not just oak and leather but a surprising and delightful burst of fruit, including notes of burnt cherry, sweet cream, and holiday fruitcake. The episode is a deep dive into what makes a modern distillery thrive, touching on the evolution of the bourbon consumer, the importance of authenticity, and the exciting future for Bluegrass Distillers, including plans for a restaurant, a bourbon club, and community events at their beautiful Midway location.

    In this episode recorded live at Shakespeare and Company, historian and cultural critic Andrew Hussey joins Adam Biles to discuss his powerful new book, Fractured France: A Journey Through a Divided Nation. With wit, erudition, and decades of on-the-ground insight, Hussey examines how France—once the model of revolutionary ideals and republican universalism—has splintered along social, cultural, and political lines. From the banlieues to the boulevards, from secularism to identity politics, Hussey traces the fractures that now define the French experience and asks whether the nation can still live up to its promise of liberté, égalité, fraternité. Their conversation moves between history, journalism, and personal reflection, exploring nationalism, colonial legacies, and the uneasy relationship between Paris and the rest of the country. Fractured France is both an elegy and a challenge: can a republic built on unity survive in an age of division?Buy Fractured France: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/fractured-france*Andrew Hussey was Director of the Centre for Post-Colonial Studies in the School of Advanced Study, University of London.

    Does good democratic government require intelligent, moral, and productive citizens? Can our political institutions educate the kind of citizens we wish or need to have? With recent arguments "against democracy" and fears about the rise of populism, there is growing scepticism about whether liberalism and democracy can continue to survive together. Some even question whether democracy is worth saving. In Democracy Tamed: French Liberalism and the Politics of Suffrage (Oxford UP, 2024), Gianna Englert argues that the dilemmas facing liberal democracy are not unique to our present moment, but have existed since the birth of liberal political thought in nineteenth-century France. Combining political theory and intellectual history, Englert shows how nineteenth-century French liberals championed the idea of "political capacity" as an alternative to democratic political rights and argued that voting rights should be limited to capable citizens who would preserve free, stable institutions against revolutionary passions and democratic demands. Liberals also redefined democracy itself, from its ancient meaning as political rule by the people to something that, counterintuitively, demanded the guidance of a capable few rather than the rule of all.Understandably, scholarly treatments of political capacity have criticized the idea as exclusionary and potentially dangerous. Englert argues instead that political capacity was a flexible standard that developed alongside a changing society and economy, allowing liberals to embrace democracy without abandoning their first principles. She reveals a forgotten, uncharted path of liberalism in France that remained open to political democracy while aiming to foster citizen capacity. Overall, Democracy Tamed tells the story of how the earliest liberals deployed their notion of the "new democracy" to resist universal suffrage. But it also reveals how later liberals would appropriate their predecessors' antidemocratic arguments to safeguard liberal democracies as we have come to know them. Gianna Englert is Associate Professor of Humanities in The Hamilton School for Classical and Civic Education at the University of Florida. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

    While Jean-Luc Brunel sat in a grim French jail cell, staring down the end of his life and the wreckage of his modeling empire, Prince Andrew was seen doing what royals do best — pretending none of it applied to him. Photos and reports surfaced of him going for a casual horseback ride on the Windsor grounds, grinning like a man untouched by consequence. The contrast couldn't have been starker: Brunel, Epstein's Paris pipeline, locked away in La Santé Prison on charges of trafficking and rape, while Andrew trotted through the countryside in full riding gear, shielded by royal walls and plausible deniability. It was the perfect snapshot of class immunity — one man behind bars, the other galloping freely, both tethered to the same monster.To the public, it read like a message. Brunel was expendable. Maxwell was disposable. But Andrew? Untouchable. The optics were so brazen they bordered on parody — a royal heir, under the shadow of the same scandal that destroyed his friends, out for a leisurely ride as if nothing had happened. While Brunel stewed in isolation, denied bail, and eventually turned up dead, Andrew stayed insulated in royal privilege, convinced that the sunlight couldn't reach his side of the wall. It was the same arrogance that had defined his entire approach to Epstein — denial, detachment, and a delusional belief that titles could wash away filth.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

    Haití tiene dos idiomas oficiales. El francés, el idioma en el que todavía hoy se da la mayor parte de la educación formal, y el creole, la lengua que la gran mayoría habla en su día a día. Pero cuando Sandrine Exil se mudó de Colombia a Haití, el país natal de su papá, él le impuso una regla estricta: nada de hablar creole. Años más tarde, después de abandonar el país por una crisis política, esa prohibición llegó al centro de la vida de Sandrine y fue el inicio de un camino de vuelta a sus raíces.

Haiti has two official languages: French, the language in which most formal education is still taught today, and Creole, the language the vast majority of Haitians speak in their daily lives. But when Sandrine Exil moved from Colombia to Haiti, her father’s home country, he imposed a strict rule: no speaking Creole. Years later, after leaving the country because of a political crisis, that prohibition became central to Sandrine’s life and marked the beginning of a journey back to her roots.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
