Few figures have shaped fashion's visual language like Marie-Amélie Sauvé. From her formative years at French Vogue to her lasting collaborations with Nicolas Ghesquière, she has navigated an industry that thrives on change while staying true to her creative convictions. In this episode, Sauvé reflects on the golden era of editorial freedom, the founding of her own magazine, Mastermind, and why true innovation demands risk. She also shares how yoga sharpens her creative discipline, why she gravitates toward brands in need of reinvention, and what she believes is fashion's biggest challenge today. A rare glimpse into the mind of one of the industry's most influential yet elusive figures. "Mastermind isn't just about fashion. It's about cinema, architecture, politics—because if you only look at fashion, you miss the bigger picture." - Marie-Amélie Sauvé Episode Highlights: Growing up with fashion in France – Fashion was as much a part of daily life as literature and gastronomy in her upbringing, shaping her early perspective. Landing an internship at French Vogue – Her mother's love for fashion led to an opportunity at Vogue Paris, where she was first exposed to industry legends like André Leon Talley, Helmut Newton, and Guy Bourdin. The golden era of French Vogue – Describes the unparalleled creative freedom of the magazine at the time, where editors and photographers could push boundaries without advertiser interference. Why she left Vogue to go freelance – She wanted a deeper understanding of how clothes were made and how designers shaped the industry, rather than just styling full looks in editorials. How yoga shapes her creative process – She practices Iyengar yoga daily, valuing its emphasis on precision and discipline, which mirrors her approach to fashion and creative direction. Why she created Mastermind – She wanted a magazine that balanced fashion with architecture, politics, cinema, and philosophy, giving equal weight to journalism and imagery. The longstanding creative relationship with Nicolas Ghesquière – She and Nicolas "grew up together" in the industry, sharing an obsession with research, reinvention, and pushing creative boundaries. Why true innovation requires risk – She reflects on how the most memorable fashion moments come from pushing boundaries, rather than playing it safe within industry expectations. Fashion's democratic shift – Acknowledges that while fashion is now more accessible, standing out requires an even stronger creative perspective and sense of individuality. What's contemporary now? – Time. In an era of constant acceleration, she believes the most valuable thing is having enough time to slow down, focus, and create with intention.

Storytelling is a powerful way to create relationships with your audience. Your stories allow you audience to get to know you. STORYTELLING BY THE BEST The best speakers in the world use powerful storytelling. Zig Ziglar always used great stories in every point he made. He was a master at storytelling. If you've listened to Zig, you've heard the story of the old water pump or the selling pans door to door. He made his stories come to life. When Simon Sinek speaks, he is always telling stories. Watch his TedTalk on starting with why and you will see a talk filled with stories. Brene' Brown is one of my favorites. Her stories of struggle and success make you fall in love with everything she does. Storytelling allows your audience to get to know you. By the stories you tell, your listeners know what you value, what you believe and how you operate. Friendships are formed through storytelling. Watch these three and others to learn from the best. TRANSPORT YOUR LISTENER One reason storytelling is so powerful is that stories transport your listener to other places. They forget about their problems and struggles for a bit. To take your listeners somewhere else, use visual words. Bring your story to life in the theater of the mind. Use words they can see. Active language helps your story come to life. It is easier to see walking than walked. "He walked into the diner" is harder to envision than "He came walking into the diner." Use all five senses. What did it look like? Describe the smells. What were the sounds? How did you feel? The more descriptive your story, the more it will come to life in your listener's mind. DO I LIKE YOU? Stories will help people decide if they like you. Your listeners need to like you in order to listen to you. They are going to spend 30 minutes or an hour with you in their earbuds. It better be more than info. Pretend they are asking, "Would I enjoy taking a one-hour car ride with this person every week?" That is really the essence of your show. Develop friendships by telling a story to your best friend. Let your listener learn something about you. REVEAL THINGS THROUGH STORYTELLING When I review shows for my clients, I always ask myself, "What do I know about the host that I didn't know before the show started?" Reveal things about yourself to let your listeners get closer to you. During a show review for a client recently, he referenced his Italian in-laws, mentioned the movie Talladega Nights and talked about the R&B group Boyz II Men. Little things like that let us get to know him. When are building your influence and authority, you need to become a powerful personality that attracts people. Storytelling defines your character. This is how people get to know, like and trust you. The Bible has lasted for thousands of years because of the stories around a powerful character. Comic book heroes have been around for decades due to the stories and characters. Zig Ziglar was influential because of his storytelling and powerful personality. To increase your influence and significance, leverage storytelling. STORYTELLING WITH DR. MICHELE GUNDERSON In this episode, we have a fantastic interview with Dr. Michele Gunderson. She is a former university instructor and Iyengar yoga teacher who has transformed into a successful entrepreneur. Dr. Michele possesses a unique talent for helping business owners align their inner and outer worlds through storytelling, which can catapult their businesses to new heights.

Nivedita Joshi's journey in Yoga is an example of how the scientific Iyengar's method, coupled with earnest and sincere practice, could bring about remarkable results. In her teens, Nivedita was stricken by slipped disc and cervical spondylosis. No doctor in India could cure her or diagnose her correctly. She lost the ability to move her hands and legs, and by the time she was 26, after 12 years of struggling with the condition, she was completely bedridden. In 1996, Nivedita met BKS Iyengar in Pune and joined his medical classes as a patient. Her transformative experience of healing nurtured her commitment to Guruji's teachings and motivated her to help others experience the health-giving benefits of Iyengar Yoga. In 2004, Nivedita opened the first Iyengar Yoga center in Delhi, Iyengar Yogakshema, where she teaches general and medical classes. In this interview, Nivedita reflects on her remarkable experience of recovery and healing through the Iyengar method. She shares her take on what makes Guruji's approach to mind-body work so effective for health.

For more than 25 years J has been developing techniques to teach people how to practice yoga in a deeper and more fulfilling way. We hear how the profound grief from the loss of his mother prompted J to make a promise to himself about living a better life - and how yoga became the vehicle for that intention. His exploration of various yoga styles, from the physical rigor of Ashtanga to the precision of Iyengar, set the stage for a transformative path. From the studios of New York to the spiritual havens of India, J's experiences with the teachings of Swami P. Saraswati offered a paradigm shift. Learn how he ultimately found his way to the tradition of TKV Desikachar and T Krishnamacharya, and adopted a more introspective and therapeutic approach to yoga, focusing on breath-centered movements and present-moment awareness. His narrative powerfully underscores the importance of adapting yoga to suit individual needs, turning it into a powerful tool for deeper self-care and spiritual inquiry. Navigating the commercial pressures of the yoga industry, J candidly discusses the challenges of maintaining authenticity, especially in the wake of a global pandemic.

We're talking about the lab of the future! Better than that… we're *building* it. In this episode of *The Resonance Test,* two of the builders are giving us a tour of sorts! Listen as Sridhar Iyengar, Founder, Chief Strategy and Technology Officer and Chairman of Elemental Machines, and Chris Waller, EPAM's VP and Chief Scientist, chew the scientific fat about creating a collaborative model cell and gene therapy laboratory. Waller says the lab of the future seeks to “reinvent the way we look at equipment and utilize equipment in a laboratory setting that's used to manufacture cells” by making it, as we say, real. “We're building out that facility at the EPAM Continuum office in Boston and partnering with folks like Elemental Machines” to enable “the transformation that we're looking for in these laboratory settings.” Creating such a next-gen lab is a very complicated task, says Iyengar. “Unlike many other disciplines that are primarily software driven or even mechanically driven, the life sciences have a much greater degree of variability.” To minimize this variability, they're putting an Amazon Go level of scrutiny on lab processes. AI, Iyengar says, “can spot patterns across an enormous number of variables and dimensions, much more than any human being can do… To do that you need lots of data, so you can cancel out the noise and you can find the signal in the noise.” The key step here, he adds, is to collect “as many dimensions of data as possible and make it computationally available.” Iyengar says that capturing the context around how lab data is collected is essential for making generative AI a useful lab tool. GenAI, he says, “creates something when you give it a prompt,” but in this case “the prompt has to include the context in which that work was carried out.” He reports being hopeful about GenAI's role in the lab, “but I think we're still a few years away.” At present, says Waller, the EPAM Continuum facility enables us to give the future a test run. The lab “allows us to bring our clients, our members of the [Pistoia] Alliance [and] our technology partners together in a safe space to work collectively to derisk the introduction of new technologies into these laboratory settings and show us the future.” Iyengar adds that when he walks people through the lab, “You see their eyes light up and say, ‘Ohh, I get it; that means we can do XYZ!'” Listen to these two and you'll soon be having your own XYZ thoughts.

To date he has had opportunity to play with most of New Orleans' greatest musicians from across all genres.  NOKAS was playing some of his compositions, but by 1993 he found himself seeking outlets for his compositions in other styles and forms.  After playing with a plethora of combos and experimenting with many great local musicians he formed Naked On The Floor and eventually The Naked Orchestra. Naked on the Floor (quintet) and the Naked Orchestra (18-24 piece creative orchestra) play Freilich's original compositions exclusively and still play regularly in New Orleans. He has appeared at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival 24 times as well as headlining the Berlin Jazz Festival with NOKAS.

He is featured on over 21 recordings ranging from Klezmer to Afro-Cuban and avant-garde orchestra music. Recently he put out two CD's of a large orchestra playing his original compositions, a small group, and played on Marianne Faithfull's latest release.  Many of these recordings are either Big Easy or Offbeat entertainment award winners across a number of categories.  He also has music featured in films and TV shows (Andy Richter conquers the Universe, The Dukes of Hazzard(Warner Home Video) as well as commercials for companies such as Southwest Airlines and Mercedes.    n 2016 he produced and arranged an album, NOLA? for legendary Basque artist, Fermin Muguruza. Rearrangements of Muguruza's classic work utilizing the great players and sounds of New Orleans. That led to a very successful European run for the Basque New Orleans Orchestra. Other arranging credits include Hal Wilner and U2 tribute to T. Rex and Grammy Award winner, Peter Stampfel's 100 songs of the 20th century project.      His work includes 4 completed and performed operatic works: a comic-satirical opera, Bang the Law, about a couple of New Orleans lawyers and their movements through New Orleans class detritus after Hurricane Katrina, a two movement orchestral fantasy about Elias Cannetti at carnival, formation of a new quintet to play new original compositions, an octet reduction of Peter and the Wolf for a New Orleans Contemporary Art Center/Guggenheim foundation presentation; a second opera, ee me & cummings thee which premiered in New Orleans in Nov. 2011.   2019 saw the completion of two operas. One a hyper-collaborative project with writer, Bernard Pearce, The Coronation, on the selecting of queen bees. In June 2019 he wrote an operetta on the Dirty Letters of James Joyce to Nora Barnacle, titled Darling, Please do not be offended at what I wrote.  He is the subject of the one hour radio documentary Jonathan Freilich's Freedom Double-O Naked Klezmer Jazz Latin Boogaloo: The Radio Documentary by award winning documentarian, David Kunian and was the 2008 Louisiana Governors' Music Fellowship Award recipient.  This year he figured as a Rising Star guitarist in Downbeat's Critics Poll.  Freilich was born Oct.13, 1968 in Philadelphia, Pa.  He spent most of his early years, up until a late teenager in London, England before moving to Los Angeles in 1985.  Thereafter, he moved to Santa Cruz, Ca in 1987 before the 1989 move to New Orleans.  Currently, he is residing in Los Angeles after completing further studies in composition at California Institute of the Arts.

Stories connect you to others, because the stories you tell reveal things about you. Those stories let people get to know what you like, believe and value. VINCE GILL The way he tells stories is why so many people love country icon Vince Gill. He is so open and transparent with his stories you just feel like you're best friends 5 minutes after meeting him. Vince released his first album in 1985, but really broke through in 1989 when he signed with MCA Nashville. When he released Gun Slinger in 2011, he invited a group of us to his house to listen to the album. His house is pretty amazing. He lives in one of those renovated homes built a hundred years ago. THE RECORDING STUDIO At the front corner of Vince's house is a recording studio. Imagine a large family room. You enter the studio down a couple steps in the middle of the long wall. To your left surrounding the exterior of the room is his amazing guitar collection. Under the countertop that rings the three walls to the left are about half a dozen drawers. Each holds two guitars. Hung on the walls above the counters are more guitars as if you were in a music store. There had to be a few hundred guitars in that room. Vince told us most of his collection was in storage with his touring gear. In the middle of that left half of the room sat the large mixing console facing the far wall with a small recording booth through the door in the close corner. The right side of the room looked like a warm den. There were oversized chairs, a nice couch, a few end tables and a fireplace. I imagined a lot of songwriting was done in that room. On wall straight across from the entry stairs was the bookshelf holding his various Grammy Awards, CMA Awards, and other accolades. The Grammys and other awards his wife Amy Grant won were on the shelves as well. THE STORIES Above the fireplace hung a destroyed vintage guitar. I asked Vince about the story behind that guitar. He said when the floods of 2010 hit Nashville, the storage facility most of the big country artists used for much of the gear was under water. All of the gear in that huge warehouse was destroyed, including many of Vince's prized guitars. The guitar that hung on the wall was one of the oldest that Vince had in his collection. He salvaged it from the flood and hung it on the wall as a reminder of how precious time is for all of us. As we made ourselves comfortable in the studio, Vince had his producer cue up the new album. He would then proceed to tell us a story about how a song was recorded or about the inspiration behind a song. Then he would play it for us. It was amazing. BREAD AND WATER One song on Guitar Slinger held a very special place for Vince. He told us "Bread and Water" is loosely based on his brother who had a rough stretch of life. Vince's brother was in a car accident and almost killed when he was just 21. He never fully recovered. As he told the story of his brother, Vince said his brother would kind of hobo around. He would often spend time at the mission. Vince then plays the song for us. The opening stanza of "Bread and Water" goes like this: One night he wandered into that old mission The one out on the poor side of town He really had no interest in salvation Just a place to lay his drunk ole body down Vince got a little choked up when he told the story of his brother as he introduced the song. Once he played it, the song took on such a different and more powerful meaning for all of us in that studio. Check it out on YouTube. You'll see what I mean. INTERESTING STORIES After about four songs, Vince says, "Are you guys enjoying this or are you just getting bored with my old stories?" Each and every one of us emphatically chimed in that we wanted more stories. I could have sat there for a week and listened to Vince tell stories. It was truly one of the highlights of my career. When the Eagles recently came to town, I went to see this tour, because Vince was playing guitar and singing the parts left vacant with the passing of Glenn Frey. It was so great. I have seen Vince Gill play probably half a dozen times at various events. I've met him twice. He has always told great stories, and everybody loves him. His stories make you feel like you've been best friends for years. That's what stories can do for you. When you tell stories, you build relationships. You create an identity and personality.

It all starts in the nose. Today's guest, allergist Dr. Shuba Iyengar, explains that by the time we exhibit common allergy symptoms such as headache, itchy eyes and post-nasal drip, we've already been silently suffering. On today's episode of The Code, Dr. Iyengar will explain the myriad reasons why over-the-counter allergy medications fail to work, and how her company Allermi, which concocts bespoke nasal sprays for allergy sufferers, is working to address the root causes of this increasingly common issue.    As in fitness, getting to the root cause is key. Join today's discussion to hear Dr. Iyengar explain who is most likely to suffer from allergies, where they're likely to live and what we can do about it.    Quotes • “To get that whole constellation of stuff better, you have to get that cute little nose better and you have to get that inflammation to go down. So, most treatments that are really effective will work on the nose.” (5:29 | Dr. Shuba Iyengar)  • “With climate change, we're having warmer years. We have pollen seasons that have increased over the past—every year, the pollen season gets longer and longer and longer—so you have a longer season of pollination. And then on top of that, the pollen counts are wacky: they go up really high and then all of a sudden it comes down really low. You were just talking about the weather in Denver being 65 and then all of a sudden it's snowing two days later. That wacky temperature is not something that nature likes.”(10:41 | Dr. Shuba Iyengar)  • “Because accumulation of all our inflammation is just higher, once that happens, once inflammation is at this baseline—you probably see this all the time—it's not much to make it worse. It doesn't take much to make inflammation worse. It takes a lot to create it, but once you get to that point where it's already inflamed it doesn't take much more to make it worse.” (12:12 | Dr. Shuba Iyengar)   Links Connect with Dr. Shuba Iyengar:  Website: www.allermi.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/getallermi/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shuba-iyengar-79a8694/   SideKick Tool: https://bit.ly/4a6CqJS   Movemate:
