Podcast appearances and mentions of Jo Malone

Essential Habits is a new weekly series from High Performance. Hosted by Damian Hughes, each episode breaks down powerful habits from world-class performers and thinkers - so you can apply them in your own life.Here's Damian's take on the first episode, featuring Jo Malone: "Sometimes life moves so fast we forget we even can stop. That's something Jo reminded me of in this episode, the quiet power of pausing and taking stock before charging ahead.Jo's story is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. With around 6,000 thoughts flying through our minds each day, many of them negative, it's not just about thinking less, but choosing what's worth holding on to. Together, we explore how stopping to organise our thoughts and truly understand our story can turn moments of crisis into turning points.I also unpack a fascinating piece of neuroscience, a study with a less-than-glamorous title, but a powerful message, showing how our brains naturally prioritise rewarding memories. If you've ever wanted to hold on to what matters and let the rest slip away… this one's for you."Here is a list of studies referenced in the episode:The Persistence and Transience of Memory.

What does it take to really create safe and effective skin care and not just buzz wordy 'clean beauty'? When it comes to skincare, less is more! It might sound surprising, but our skin doesn't require a complicated 10-step routine to stay healthy. When you're shopping for skincare, try to look past the trendy buzzwords and fancy packaging. Instead, find brands that use safe and effective ingredients that have been clinically tested to show they work and align with your values. It's all about choosing products that help your skin stay radiant and healthy, no quick fixes, gimmicks or hype here! Tune in to this week's podcast with Amy Gordinier as she discusses creating skin care products that dermatologists trust, covering everything from clinical testing to ingredient safety.  Key Takeaways: - Make sure your product is well preserved. - Safety is far and away the most important. - Understand the products you're purchasing and their formulation methodology. - Dermatologists are the skin experts and should be listened to. - Clean beauty lacks a defined definition, so be cautious. - Collaboration with dermatologists enhances product efficacy. - Rigorous testing is essential for skincare products. - Avoid overusing trending ingredients in formulations. - Consider the holistic approach to skincare. - Preservatives are necessary for product safety. Since Amy launched Skinfix in 2014, she has pioneered the clean clinical category of skincare and brought the conversation of skin barrier health to Sephora. After graduating from Princeton University,Amy lived in New York and London working for some of the biggest names in beauty, from L'Oréal to Jo Malone, before moving to the Canadian coastal city of Halifax, Nova Scotia to start a family. It was there that she met the great, great granddaughter of the British pharmacist who created the heritage Skinfix healing balm.    She was captivated by the powerful formula that the family had passed down through five generations and blown away by the hundreds of hand-written testimonials that they had amassed from people who had used it to heal some of the most serious skin concerns. Since then, she and her team have followed the methodology of using a high level of proven active ingredients at their clinically validated levels to replenish and maintain the vital skin barrier. The Skinfix team works closely with dermatologists to develop therapeutic skincare that is clinically proven to work and will continue until they have helped heal every skin concern that they possibly can. She is also the host of Total Skin Nerds podcast, which features in-depth conversations with top doctors and skin care authorities on a crusade to change how skin is cared for, treated, healed, experienced and talked about.  Skinfix: Website: https://ca.skinfix.com/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/skinfixinc/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/skinfix/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skinfix?lang=en    Follow Dr. Mina here:-  https://instagram.com/drminaskin https://www.facebook.com/drminaskin https://www.youtube.com/@drminaskin https://www.linkedin.com/in/drminaskin/ For more great skin care tips, subscribe to The Skin Real Podcast or visit www.theskinreal.com Baucom & Mina Derm Surgery, LLC Email - scheduling@atlantadermsurgery.com Contact - (404) 844-0496 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/baucomminamd/ Thanks for listening!

When I first started planning season 1 of this podcast, that I thought would be a mini series, back in 2018, I wrote a list of dream guests- bucket list, beauty industry stalwarts whose brains I wanted to pick. Jo Malone was, of course, on that list, and on her most recent trip to Australia last month, we made it happen.Jo's story is unlike any other, and while we all know her name, I don't believe as many people know her story as well as they probably should. Jo grew up in South East London and following a very, very early introduction to the beauty industry, she discovered her sense of smell was a bit of a superpower. She built her own brand, opened her first store in 1994 and sold that brand to Estée Lauder in 1999 while staying on as Creative Director. In 2003, Jo was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer, and although she beat it, she completely lost her superpower- her sense of smell. She chose to exit the brand in 2006 and, exactly one month into a five year non compete, her sense of smell returned. Following what she describes as probably the hardest five years of her life, she launched Jo Loves in 2011- her second global fragrance brand and one she describes as bringing the best parts of herself to the world. This was so, so special for me, I'm so grateful to have had this time to physically sit down with Jo- no one tells her story like she does and I hope you love hearing it as much as I did. In this conversation, Jo shares why she has her father's work as an artist to thank for introducing the Jo Loves brand to a new generation, why we can thank a woman named Doris Hilderbaker for Jo's love of beauty, and what happens both physically and mentally when you walk away from a brand with your name on it.

On this episode of the Lead With Purpose podcast host, Tze Ching Yeung talks to leather craftsman, Yusuf Osman to talk about his career and his passion for leather. KEY TAKEAWAYS My mission right now is to get the world talking about leather, but it's taken me a long time to get here. I didn't know a creative career existed when I was a child, so from the narrow range of options presented to me at school I decided to choose law. As soon as I arrived in London for university, I realised it wasn't for me, those weren't my people, especially not the corporate side. But, I took advantage of being in London & the ability to try different things like working in food, knitting, jewellery, circus arts, ceramics, woodworking & after I graduated I discovered leather-working. Looking through a lens of connecting different areas of our lives through leather, & connecting it to the values of craftsmanship, we can begin to understand ourselves, our relationship with materials, the natural world, how we relate to each other, & what kind of world we want to live in, what kind of values. It's a way to be able to grasp sustainability in a tangible way.  I was always driven by purpose. I didn't fit into the corporate focus of law in the City, so I ended up practicing human rights law. But, as I was practicing it I realised that all I was doing was just putting a plaster on very big social problems that I couldn't solve. I didn't want that, & that's what made me shift. I didn't want to be someone that fixes, I wanted to be someone that builds because that adds value.  I tried for 10 years to make money the reason I pushed myself and made my business successful, but really it was never my driver. I don't think many, if any creative people are led by money. What I've realised, & I probably always knew, was that I wanted freedom when I left my job. I just came back from a stint of travelling and experiencing craft on the road & I realised it's freedom that I need, not to be trapped by a sense of doing the same thing, I must keep a sense of freedom in what I do, I can't follow a set path. Money has never driven me, though I want to earn more money. To do that I've had to realise what my value is, & I'm attuning to that and believe my value will be reflected back from the world in terms of money.  BEST MOMENTS ‘Leather-working is still very much an undiscovered craft in terms of mass acceptance I'd say it's a very accessible craft, you don't need a lot to start, but it's not as accessible as knitting, sewing or ceramics. But, that's something I'm working to change.' ‘Leather is one of the few materials that connects land, farm, food, fashion, and beyond.' ‘People like to listen to me talk & the way that I communicate, that's a skill that I learned at law school which is a really useful skill.' ‘People say that when you find something that you love you should pursue it as a business, but that just moves you from one box into another box. When I work, the only thing that drives me is a sense of freedom.' ABOUT THE GUEST Yusuf Osman's passion for making started whilst reading law at The London School of Economics where he thrived in the extracurricular. He continued to explore his creative side whilst training to be a solicitor. An avid workshop taker, he tried the gamut of crafts and discovered a passion for premium natural materials and a flair for working with his hands. A chance weekend workshop in The Cotswolds introduced Yusuf to the world of traditional British leather craftsmanship and began a quest that has taken Yusuf all over the world to learn from the best and returning home to obsessively hone his skills in his home studio. An all consuming hobby turned into a career when Yusuf moved into his current studio at Cockpit Arts Deptford to pursue leather-working full-time. His work has been exhibited at the Walsall Leather Museum and featured in Crafts Magazine; he has taught leather-working to actor John Malkovich and magician Drummond Money-Coutts and he has worked with brands such as eBay and Jo Malone. Yusuf is the UK's foremost authority on fine saddle-stitched leathergoods. From sketch to final stitch, your piece is conceived and made in-house using the finest cuts of leather and a unique blend of contemporary and traditional techniques. Website Socials: @yussico ABOUT THE HOST Tze Ching started her entrepreneurial journey back in 2007 with the launch of a sustainable clothing & home furnishing ecommerce business. Next, she created a sustainable fashion brand. In 2019, she launched a social enterprise to help raise awareness about the negative impact of fashion at schools & colleges.  Through the 15-year journey, she learned so much, but easily the most meaningful lesson learned was about the importance of marketing. She now focuses on channelling those insights to help others succeed through We Disrupt Agency, a business coaching, mentoring & digital marketing company.  Tze Ching's mission is to create a community of global change makers and to contribute to positive change in both people & planet.

Here are some cool video overviews:Granite Mountain:Red Mountain:Grey Mountain:Rossland:Why I interviewed himIt's never made sense to me, this psychological dividing line between Canada and America. I grew up in central Michigan, in a small town closer to Canada (the bridge between Sarnia and Port Huron stood 142 miles away), than the closest neighboring state (Toledo, Ohio, sat 175 miles south). Yet, I never crossed into Canada until I was 19, by which time I had visited roughly 40 U.S. states. Even then, the place felt more foreign than it should, with its aggressive border guards, pizza at McDonald's, and colored currency. Canada on a map looks easy, but Canada in reality is a bit harder, eh?Red sits just five miles, as the crow flies, north of the U.S. border. If by some fluke of history the mountain were part of Washington, it would be the state's greatest ski area, larger than Crystal and Stevens Pass combined. In fact, it would be the seventh-largest ski area in the country, larger than Mammoth or Snowmass, smaller only than Park City, Palisades, Big Sky, Vail, Heavenly, and Bachelor.But, somehow, the international border acts as a sort of invisibility shield, and skiing Red is a much different experience than visiting any of those giants, with their dense networks of high-speed lifts and destination crowds (well, less so at Bachelor). Sure, Red is an Ikon Pass mountain, and has been for years, but it is not synonymous with the pass, like Jackson or Aspen or Alta-Snowbird. But U.S. skiers – at least those outside of the Pacific Northwest – see Red listed on the Ikon menu and glaze past it like the soda machine at an open bar. It just doesn't seem relevant.Which is weird and probably won't last. And right now Shoosh Emoji Bro is losing his goddamn mind and cursing me for using my platform focused on lift-served snowskiing to hype one of the best and most interesting and most underrated lift-served snowskiing operations in North America. But that's why this whole deal exists, Brah. Because most people ski at the same 20 places and I really think skiing as an idea and as an experience and as a sustainable enterprise will be much better off if we start spreading people out a bit more.What we talked aboutRed pow days; why Red amped up shuttle service between the ski area and Rossland and made it free; old-school Tahoe; “it is the most interesting mountain I've ever skied”; buying a ski area when you've never worked at a ski area; why the real-estate crash didn't bury Red like some other ski areas; why Katkov backed away from a golf course that he spent a year and a half planning at Red; why the 900 lockers at the dead center of the base area aren't going anywhere; housing and cost of living in Rossland; “we look at our neighborhood as an extension of our community of Rossland”; base area development plans; balancing parking with people; why and how Red Mountain still sells affordable ski-in, ski-out real estate; “our ethos is to be accessible for everybody”; whether we could ever see a lift from Rossland to Red; why Red conducted a crowd-funding ownership campaign and what they did with the money; Red's newest ownership partners; the importance of independence; “the reality is that the pass, whether it's the Epic or the Ikon Pass, has radically changed the way that consumers experience skiing”; why Red joined the Ikon Pass and why it's been good for the mountain; the Mountain Collective; why Red has no high-speed lifts and whether we could ever see one; no stress on a powder day; Red's next logical lift upgrades; potential lift-served expansions onto Kirkup, White Wolf, and Mt. Roberts; and the Powder Highway.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewMy full-scale assault of Canada, planned for 2023, has turned into more of an old-person's bus tour. I'm stopping at all the big sites, but I sure am taking my time, and I'm not certain that I'm really getting the full experience.Part of this echoes the realization centuries' of armies have had when invading Russia: damn this place is big. I'd hoped to quickly fold the whole country into the newsletter, as I'd been able to do with the Midwest and West when I expanded The Storm's coverage out of the Northeast in 2021. But I'd grown up in the Midwest and been skiing the West annually for decades. I'd underestimated how much that had mattered. I'd skied a bit in Canada, but not consistently enough to kick the door down in the manner I'd hoped. I started counting ski areas in Quebec and stopped when I got to 4,000*, 95 percent of which were named “Mont [some French word with numerous squiggly marks above the letters].” The measurements are different. The money is different. The language, in Quebec, is different. I needed to slow down.So I'm starting with western Canada. Well, I started there last year, when I hosted the leaders of SkiBig3 and Sun Peaks on the podcast. This is the easiest Canadian region for a U.S. American to grasp: Epic, Ikon, Mountain Collective, and Indy Pass penetration is deep, especially in British Columbia. Powdr, Boyne, Vail, and Pacific Group Resorts all own ski areas in the province. There is no language barrier.So, Red today, Panorama next month, Whistler in June. That's the way the podcast calendar sets up now, anyway. I'll move east as I'm able.But Red, in particular, has always fascinated me. If you're wondering what the largest ski area in North America is that has yet to install a high-speed lift, this is your answer. For many of you, that may be a deal-breaker. But I see a time-machine, an opportunity to experience a different sort of skiing, but with modern gear. Like if aliens were to land on today's Earth with their teleportation devices and language-translation brain chips and standard-issue post-industro-materialist silver onesies. Like wow look how much easier the past is when you bring the future with you.Someday, Red will probably build a high-speed lift or two or four, and enough skiers who are burned out on I-70 and LCC but refuse to give up their Ikon Passes will look north and say, “oh my, what's this all about?” And Red will become some version of Jackson Hole or Big Sky or Whistler, beefy but also busy, remote but also accessible. But I wanted to capture Red, as it is today, before it goes away.*Just kidding, there are actually 12,000.^^OK, OK, there are like 90. Or 90,000.Why you should ski Red MountainLet's say you've had an Ikon Pass for the past five or six ski seasons. You've run through the Colorado circuit, navigated the Utah canyons, circled Lake Tahoe. The mountains are big, but so are the crowds. The Ikon Pass, for a moment, was a cool little hack, like having an iPhone in 2008. But then everyone got them, and now the world seems terrible because of it.But let's examine ye ‘ole Ikon partner chart more closely, to see what else may be on offer:What's this whole “Canada” section about? Perhaps, during the pandemic, you resigned yourself to U.S. American travel. Perhaps you don't have a passport. Perhaps converting centimeters to inches ignites a cocktail of panic and confusion in your brain. But all of these are solvable dilemmas. Take a deeper look at Canada.In particular, take a deeper look at Red. Those stats are in American. Meaning this is a ski area bigger than Mammoth, taller than Palisades, snowy as Aspen. And it's just one stop on a stacked Ikon BC roster that also includes Sun Peaks (Canada's second-largest ski area), Revelstoke (the nation's tallest by vertical drop), and Panorama.We are not so many years removed from the age of slow-lift, empty American icons. Alta's first high-speed lift didn't arrive until 1999 (they now have four). Big Sky's tin-can tram showed up in 1995. A 1994 Skiing magazine article described the then-Squaw Valley side of what is now Palisades Tahoe as a pokey and remote fantasyland:…bottomless steeps, vast acreage, 33 lifts and no waiting. America's answer to the wide-open ski circuses of Europe. After all these years the mountain is still uncrowded, except on weekends when people pile in from the San Francisco Bay area in droves. Squaw is unflashy, underbuilt, and seems entirely indifferent to success. The opposite of what you would expect one of America's premier resorts to be.Well that's cute. And it's all gone now. America still holds its secrets, vast, affordable fixed-grip ski areas such as Lost Trail and Discovery and Silver Mountain. But none of them have joined the Ikon Pass, and none gives you the scale of Red, this glorious backwater with fixed-grip lifts that rise 2,400 vertical feet to untracked terrain. Maybe it will stay like this forever, but it probably won't. So go there now.Podcast NotesOn Red's masterplanRed's masterplan outlines potential lift-served expansions onto Kirkup, White Wolf, and Mount Roberts. We discuss the feasibility of each. Here's what the mountain could look like at full build-out:On Jane CosmeticsAn important part of Katkov's backstory is his role as founder of Jane cosmetics, a ‘90s bargain brand popular with teenagers. He built the company into a smash success and sold it to Estée Lauder, who promptly tanked it. Per Can't Hardly Dress:Lauder purchased the company in 1997. Jane was a big deal for Lauder because it was the company's first mass market drugstore brand. Up until that point, Lauder only owned prestige brands like MAC, Clinique, Jo Malone and more. Jane was a revolutionary move for the company and a quick way to enter the drugstore mass market.Lauder had no clue what do with Jane and sales plummeted from $50 million to $25 million by 2004. Several successive sales and relaunches also failed, and, according to the article above, “As it stands today, the brand is dunzo. Leaving behind a default Shopify site, an Instagram unupdated for 213 weeks and a Facebook last touched three years ago.”On Win Smith and SugarbushKatkov's story shares parallels with that of Win Smith, the Wall-Streeter-turned-resort-operator who nurtured Sugarbush between its days as part of the American Skiing Company shipwreck and its 2019 purchase by Alterra. Smith joined me on the podcast four years ago, post-Alterra sale, to share the whole story.On housing in Banff and Sun PeaksCanadian mountain towns are not, in general, backed up against the same cliff as their American counterparts. This is mostly the result of more deliberate regional planning policies that either regulate who's allowed to live where, or allow for smart growth over time (meaning they can build things without 500 lawsuits). I discussed the former model with SkiBig3 (Banff) President Pete Woods here, and the latter with Sun Peaks GM Darcy Alexander here. U.S. Americans could learn a lot from looking north.On not being able to buy slopeside real estate in Oregon, Washington, or California The Pacific Northwest is an extremely weird ski region. The resorts are big and snowy, but unless you live there, you've probably never visited any of them. As I wrote a few weeks back:Last week, Peak Rankings analyzed the matrix of factors that prevent Oregon and Washington ski areas, despite their impressive acreage and snowfall stats, from becoming destination resorts. While the article suggests the mountains' proximity to cities, lousy weather, and difficult access roads as blockers, just about every prominent ski area in America fights some combination of these circumstances. The article's most compelling argument is that, with few exceptions, there's really nowhere to stay on most of the mountains. I've written about this a number of times myself, with this important addendum: There's nowhere to stay on most of the mountains, and no possibility of building anything anytime soon.The reasons for this are many and varied, but can be summarized in this way: U.S. Americans, in thrall to an environmental vision that prizes pure wilderness over development of any kind, have rejected the notion that building dense, human-scaled, walkable mountainside communities would benefit the environment far more than making everyone drive to skiing every single day. Nowhere has this posture taken hold more thoroughly than in the Pacific Northwest.Snowy and expansive British Columbia, perhaps sensing a business opportunity, has done the opposite, streamlining ski resort development through a set of policies known as the B.C. Commercial Alpine Ski Policy. As a result, ski areas in the province have rapidly expanded over the past 30 years…California is a very different market, with plenty of legacy slopeside development. It tends to be expensive, however, as building anything new requires a United Nations treaty, an act of Jesus, and a total eclipse of the sun in late summer of a Leap Year. Perhaps 2024 will be it.On “Fight The Man, Own the Mountain”Red ran a crowd-funding campaign a few years back called “Fight the Man, Own the Mountain.” We discuss this on the pod, but here is a bit more context from a letter Katkov wrote on the subject:Investing in RED means investing in history, independence, and in this growing family that shares the same importance on lifestyle and culture. RED is the oldest ski resort in Western Canada and it has always been fiercely independent. There are not many, if any ski resorts left in North America like Red and the success of our campaign demonstrates a desire by so many of you to, help, in a small way, to protect the lifestyle, soul and ski culture that emanates from Red.RED is a place I've been beyond proud to co-own and captain since 2004 and the door is still open to share that feeling and be a part of our family. But please note that despite the friendly atmosphere, this is one of the Top 20 resorts in North America in terms of terrain. The snow's unreal and the people around here are some of the coolest, most down-to-earth folks you're ever likely to meet. (Trying to keep up with them on the hill is another thing entirely…)With $2 million so far already committed and invested, we wasted no time acting on promised improvements. These upgrades included a full remodel of fan favorite Paradise Lodge (incl. flush toilets!) as well as the expansion of RED's retail and High Performance centres. This summer we'll see the construction of overnight on-mountain cabins and the investor clubhouse (friends welcome!) as well as continued parking expansion. We've heard from a number of early investors that they were beyond stoked to enjoy the new Paradise Lodge so soon after clicking the BUY button. Hey, ownership has its privileges…On the Lake Louise PassKatkov mentions the “Lake Louise Pass,” which Red participates in, along with Castle Mountain and Panorama. He's referring to the Lake Louise Plus Card, which costs $134 Canadian up front. Skiers then get their first, fourth, and seventh days free, and 20 percent off lift tickets for each additional visit. While these sorts of discount cards have been diminished by Epkon domination, versions of them still provide good value across the continent. The Colorado Gems Card, Smugglers' Notch's Bash Badge, and ORDA's frequent skier cards are all solid options for skiers looking to dodge the megapass circus.On the Powder HighwayRed is the closest stop on the Powder Highway to U.S. America. This is what the Powder Highway is:And here's the circuit:Fairmont is just a little guy, but Kicking Horse, Kimberley, and Fernie are Epic Pass partners owned by Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, and Revy, Red, and Panorama are all on Ikon. Whitewater used to be on M.A.X. Pass, but is now pass-less. Just to the west of this resort cluster sits Big White (Indy), Silver Star (Ikon), and Sun Peaks (Ikon). To their east is Sunshine, Lake Louise, Norquay (all Ikon), and Castle (Indy). There are also Cat and heli-ski operations all over the place. You could lose a winter here pretty easily.On Katkov's business backgroundIn this episode of the Fident Capital Podcast, Katkov goes in-depth on his business philosophy and management style. Here's another:On bringing the city to the mountainsWhile this notion, rashly interpreted, could summon ghastly visions of Aspen-esque infestations of Fendi stores in downtown Rossland, it really just means building things other than slopeside mansions with 19 kitchens and a butler's wing. From a 2023 resort press release:Red Development Company, the real estate division of RED Mountain Resort (RED), in conjunction with ACE Project Marketing Group (ACE), recently reported the sell-out of the resort's latest real estate offering during the season opening of the slopes. On offer was The Crescent at RED, a collection of 102 homes, ranging from studio to one bedrooms and lofts featuring a prime ski in – ski out location. Howard Katkov, CEO of RED, and Don Thompson, RED President, first conceived of bringing the smaller urban living model to the alpine slopes in January 2021. ACE coined the concept as "everything you need and nothing you don't" …An important component was ensuring that the price point for The Crescent was accessible to locals and those who know and love the destination. With prices starting mid $300s – an excellent price when converted to USD – and with an achievable 5% deposit down, The Crescent at RED was easily one of the best value propositions in real estate for one of the best ranked ski resorts in North America. Not surprisingly, over 50% of the Crescent buyers were from the United States, spurred on by the extraordinary lifestyle and value offered by The Crescent, but also the new sparsity of Canadian property available to foreign buyers.As a good U.S. American, I ask Katkov why he didn't simply price these units for the one-percenters, and how he managed the House-Flipping Henries who would surely interpret these prices as opportunity. His answers might surprise you, and may give you hope that a different sort of ski town is possible.The Storm publishes year-round, and guarantees 100 articles per year.

Counter-terror police are investigating after a teacher was stabbed to death at a French school on Friday, the attack coinciding with the Hamas call for a global “day of jihad”.

Jo Malone, CBE, was born special. She was born with synesthesia, a perceptual phenomenon wherein one sensory stimulation can create involuntary experiences for another. For Malone, this means she can experience smells visually. Malone parlayed this uniqueness into creating Jo Malone London, a global fragrance brand that The Estée Lauder Companies bought in 1999 for an undisclosed sum. Malone left the brand in 2006 after a breast cancer diagnosis, which rendered her unable to smell at the time. After a 5-year hiatus from fragrance, she reentered the category with Jo Loves. “I've learned over the last few years that fragrance is not a business or a career. To me, it's my best friend and the thing I love doing most in the whole world,” said Malone on the latest episode of the Glossy Beauty podcast. Jo Loves has become a Gen-Z favorite. And it's notable for its fragrance paintbrushes, released in 2017, and an in-store tapas bar concept to introduce customers to scents in a playful way. As the brand steadily expands internationally, it's also adding more hospitality partnerships including Shangri-La The Shard in London and the Park Lane Hotel in New York. For Malone, the goal is to change the world through fragrance. Malone spoke with Glossy about how she restarted a brand from scratch, why Dubai inspires her creatively, what she thinks of clean-beauty fragrances and why she aspires to create 101 fragrances. 

“In every fragrance I create, I'm telling you the story of my life” You may be familiar with Jo Malone's scents; Lime Basil, Pomegranate Noir, Wood Sage. Today, Jo Malone joins Liz Taylor to share how she created the Jo Malone brand, how her sense of smell is her superpower, and what's next for her new business, Jo Loves. Liz Taylor's 30-year career in event planning has built an impressive portfolio of events, including celebrity weddings, charity fundraisers like Children in Need with Gary Barlow and huge gala dinners such as the Winter White Gala at Kensington Palace for HRH Duke of Cambridge, as well as the Manchester United Champions League winning after party in Moscow and Coronation Street's 40th-anniversary celebrations.

For anyone who's ever smelled one of her iconic scents, Jo Malone needs no introduction. Described as an "English scent maverick," Jo has created some of the world's most-loved fragrances. Her first company, Jo Malone London, gained cult status around the world and was sold to Estée Lauder, and in 2013, she launched her Jo Loves, a global fragrance brand. Jo shares how scent has been a superpower since childhood, how she conquered a bout of anxiety by jumping out of a plane, and why the desire to create led her back to the founder seat.

As Estée Lauder's first-ever Chief Data Officer, Jane Lauder is combining data science with creativity to fuel the growth of the company. Jane has worked at Estée Lauder for 26 years – 24 of which she spent working on the brand and marketing aspects of the business. While working as the Global Brand President of Clinique, Jane saw the power of data to drive all aspects of the business, motivating her to transition into her current role. Estée Lauder Companies is one of the world's leading manufacturers and marketers of luxury skincare, makeup, fragrance, and hair care products. It encompasses a house of about 30 brands including their flagship brand Estée Lauder, as well as other brands such as Clinique, Crème de la Mer, MAC, Jo Malone, Aveda, Le Labo, Bobbi Brown, Origins, Dr.Jart+, Too Faced cosmetics, and more. The beauty giant was founded by Jane's grandmother, Estée Lauder, over 75 years ago. Before there were data and analytics to pull from, Estée Lauder would gather information about potential consumers by analyzing women's bathrooms, paying close attention to details such as décor and the colors of their tiles. She then used this information to design aspirational product packaging that would elevate its surroundings. “In the beginning, we were a one-woman research company, and that one woman was Estée Lauder.”Today the company has a wealth of digital and in-store data. Jane and her team use this data to understand consumers' aspirations better, gain insight into how different consumers use their products, and spot emerging trends in the cosmetic industry. This information helps them to respond to trends and tailor their products and messaging to meet consumers' unique needs and aspirations. As Estée Lauder's Chief Data Officer, Jane's biggest obstacle resides in deciding how to best utilize the ample data she has access to. Another obstacle lies in determining how to strike a balance between satisfying consumer needs today and investing in the future of the company. “You want to be able to use the data you have to create incredible opportunities, but also think about how to unlock the data for the future, and how to set up the foundational data sets, and data containers, if you will, to be able to create this quick analysis of the future.” Jane believes the future is promising for those seeking roles as data scientists within the cosmetics industry. The cosmetics industry is teeming with opportunities to connect with consumers and make a difference.

He is exercising his right of free speech, please do your own research on any controversial claims made in this episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS  If you start to look at control in society, you quickly realise that society is controlled by money. By those who have it and those who do not, the more choices you can make the more freedom you can have what dictates choice more than anything, is money. The ‘boom-bust' cycle is a long exchange of exchanging ‘fake' money e.g credit for ‘real' money e.g assets: this creates an unbalanced control in favour of the banks and the 1% Human empathy is an emotional consequence to what you're doing. Psychopaths do not have this and these are the types of people that are in control of the wealth and money system. They know how and why to manipulate others. If the few want to continue to have control over the many, then they need to centralise decisions. This is how globalisation has finally been formed and how the few exercise control in every area of our lives, including financial institutions. Covid has been a period of two years in which centralisation and manipulation has happened even faster, particularly around the decline of cash use. The world is run by ‘cartel' companies such as amazon and Facebook, they dictate a lot of what happens and stop any genuine capitalist companies from competing with them. The big corporations such as Facebook and Amazon have actually benefitted from the Covid lockdowns, whilst medium and small independent companies and individuals have suffered. If you know the outcome and goal of something then you understand the journey. If we understand what the end goal is for these people exerting control then we understand how what is happening right now ties into the bigger picture. David has thought throughout the pandemic that COVID is a scam, he is noticing now that more and more people are realising the same. There are many individuals that now believe that the pandemic wasn't about health but instead about control. BEST MOMENTS   “It's accumulation of control by the weapon that is money” “Globalisation is the centralisation of power in every area of our lives…simply the ongoing centralisation of power” “Who has benefitted in lockdown? Amazon and Facebook” “Furlough…buying silence and buying time for more and more businesses to be destroyed” “The many give their power to the few in the form of acquiescence” “It's an agenda way beyond health” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Jo Malone's name is synonymous with luxury, but Jo didn't grow up with wealth. She was raised on a council estate in South East London and left school without any qualifications. Jo built the luxury fragrance brand Jo Malone London with her husband, Gary, and sold the company in 1999 to Estee Lauder. She left the business a few years later, after she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer and was given only 9 months to live. As part of the Lauder deal, she wasn't allowed to enter the industry for 5 years. Jo felt utterly lost, so she started a new brand, Jo Loves. Jo is so honest in this episode and tells me about the mistakes she made building her second company, after the huge success of the first.

As a girl in 1970s London, Jo Malone learned how to make face creams by going to work with her mom at a private skin care clinic. By the time she was in her 20's, Jo was running her own skin care and cosmetics business, which eventually grew to include bath oils, scented candles, and fragrances under the brand Jo Malone London. Jo sold the brand to Estée Lauder in 1999 and then left the business after a life-changing diagnosis. She now has a fragrance company called Jo Loves, where she innovates with new kinds of scents and explores new ways to present them.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, we're being transported to an island paradise. An archipelago of nearly 700 coral islands, 100,000 square miles of the world's clearest turquoise ocean, secret sandbars, private coves, secluded pink sand beaches, and undisturbed wildlife. We're heading to The Beautiful Bahamas. There are 16 main islands in the Bahamas, and no two islands are alike with their own culture, history, cuisine, diving, fishing - there is something for every type of traveller, and I'm joined today by two fabulous guests who will be bringing these different islands to life.First I'm joined by someone who has called The Bahamas their home for over 25 years, the designer, entrepreneur and former model, India Hicks. India is the daughter of famed interior designer David Hicks and Lady Pamela Hicks. She is the granddaughter of Lord Mountbatten who was Prince Philip's uncle and whose assassination by the IRA was most recently depicted on the The Crown on Netflix. India was thrown into the spotlight as a teenager when was a bridesmaid to her godfather, Prince Charles and Princess Diana at their wedding. So it may seem somewhat of an unusual decision that India has settled and raised her five children on a tiny Bahamian island. She speaks to me from her home on the picture postcard Harbour Island.And later we'll be joined by the acclaimed travel writer and editor Alicia Miller. Alicia has written extensively about the Bahamas and is full of tips and recommendations about so many different islands.Destination Recap:India HicksHarbour IslandThe Dunmore Beach ClubThe Landing HotelQueen ConchCocoa Coffee HouseWindermere IslandAndrosKamalame Cay, AndrosNew ProvidenceRosewood Baha Mar, New Providence Blue Holes divingGrand BahamaTiger Shark divingAlicia MillerHarbour IslandThe Landing Hotel The Dunmore Hotel New ProvidenceNassauParadise IslandAtlantis HotelBaha MarRosewood Baha MarCafé Boulud The BahamasMarcus at Baha MarDowntown NassauThe Graycliff Hotel Fish FryFrankie Gone Bananas BREEF Coral Reef Sculpture Garden & Coral NurseryThe Poop Deck restaurant The ExumasSpanish WellsAndrosKamalame CayGrand BahamaCoral Vida ProjectEleutheraThe Other SideThe CoveIf you would like find out more about the Bahamas, check out bahamas.com.To hear future episodes of the podcast as soon as they're released don't forget to hit subscribe or “follow” on your podcast app of choice.

Today, we're heading to a mountainous island nation in the Pacific Ocean, with two main islands, the North and the South. A land of mammoth national parks, epic biodiversity, dynamic Māori culture and world-class adventure sports. One of the most popular destinations to be picked by my guests as top of their travel bucket list. It is of course, New Zealand.Today's episode is a bumper celeb guest double bill, representing both the North and the South Island, kicking off with the comedian, writer and actor Rose Matafeo, who grew up in Auckland on the North Island. Rose's critically acclaimed show Horndog won the award for Best Show at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, setting her on a trajectory to international stardom. Her sitcom, Starstruck, which she writes and stars in was commissioned by the BBC and HBO Max. Season One became the BBC's best performing new comedy of last year. Rose is particularly passionate about NZ's food and cultural scenes, and she shares her must dos, her must eats, and all her insider North Island knowledge, from its magnificent coasts and beaches, to geothermal wonders, sprawling farmlands and Māori rich culture.And then we head to the South Island, where we are joined by arguably the greatest rugby player of all time, Richie McCaw. Richie captained the New Zealand All Blacks for 15 years in the 00s and 10s to two world cup wins. He achieved an astonishing 148 caps, a record only just beaten and was named World player of the year 3 times. From wildlife to wineries, glacial valleys to star-filled skies, its no wonder the other-worldly mountainous South Island was the destination where the Lord of the Rings films were set. It's been Richie's home all of his life, and he shares his expert knowledge on the island he knows so well.Destination Recap:Rose MatafeoAuckland, North IslandAuckland Live, North IslandCivic Theatre, Auckland, North IslandThe Basement Theatre, Auckland, North IslandThe Classic Comedy Club, Auckland, North IslandPiha Beach, North IslandHerne Bay, North IslandPonsonby Food Court, Auckland, North Island K Road, Auckland, North IslandPeach Pit, K Road, Auckland, North Island Bestie Cafe, K Road, Auckland, North Island Mount Maunganui, North Island Rotoroa Island, North Island Waitomo Caves, North IslandTaranakiNew PlymouthWellington Te Papa gallery, Wellington Tanuki's Cave, AucklandRichie McCawKura, South Island Wānaka , South IslandCentral Otago, South Island Southern Alps, South IslandBay of Islands, North Island Terminal Lake, South Island Taranaki, New Plymouth, North Island Poor Knights Islands, North Island Stewart Island, South Island If you're ready to find out more about planning your trip to NZ, head to newzealand.com and check out your favourite travel magazines and newspaper travel sections, which have plenty of handy guides.And to hear future episodes as soon as they're released don't forget to hit subscribe or “follow” on your podcast app of choice.To find out who's joining me on next week's episode, come and follow me on Instagram, I'm @hollyrubenstein - I'd love to hear from you.

Learn from successful paper florist Eileen Lim about how she transformed from bitter to blooming with happiness by following her why. Do you feel excited to start your day? Do you look forward to your work? Do you feel fulfilled? If you answered no to any of those questions, you need to follow your why back to the person you want to be. In our latest episode of Paper Talk, we chatted with Eileen Lim of Miss Petal & Bloom. She was a delightful early guest on this podcast. We couldn't wait to have her back again to talk about her new book and her why. She beautifully told us how she got back to her true self by making paper flowers and running her business. You'll glean useful tips on how to become the best version of yourself, as well as a peek at the process behind photographing and writing a craft book. Here's what you'll learn when you listen to our conversation: ► How to express your best self and your best qualities in your job.► What Eileen's why is and how she found it.► How she found her aesthetic and showcases her style.► Details about what you can learn from Eileen's upcoming book.► Why taking your own photos can be a strength and how to do it well. If you can't listen right away, here are three things we discussed about how Eileen built her career so that she loves who she is as a person. Read her advice and hear even more on the episode. Take Time to Reflect We've mentioned it before this season, but finding your why takes time. You can't sit down and figure it all out in an hour. On the podcast, Eileen reiterated this piece of wisdom. She had to take the time to dive deep into paper flowers in order to find that she loved it. She had to try things out. She had to fail and succeed at different times. And very importantly, she had to reflect on what exactly she liked along her paper flower journey. But it's worth it! The hard work of self-reflection can lead you down the path that's right for you. It will avoid costly detours and lead to a happier life. “I do like the person who I am when I'm making flowers and when I'm my own boss.” -Eileen Lim Ask for Feedback Eileen shared how she was so miserable at her first job out of college that her parents could notice a big change in her demeanor. She wasn't her regular cheerful self. Our loved ones can often see what we can't. Ask what they've noticed. Do you seem more relaxed in certain situations? Do they notice something that really stresses you out? Listen to their feedback. Do keep in mind that one person's opinion isn't necessarily what you should do. But if multiple people are noticing the same thing, that's a good opportunity to sit down and think about how exactly you could incorporate their advice. Simply talking it out with a friend can help you get closer to your why, even if they don't offer any concrete feedback. Find someone you trust to talk about your paper flower journey with. Make a Change Once you've done the difficult work of self-reflection and eliciting feedback from loved ones, you need to take action. Taking that leap into the unknown can be scary! You might not be ready to jump into the deep end, but you should make changes where you can. You're going to make mistakes. That's okay. We all do. You can learn from them and do better in the future. “Even though it's challenging and even though I make mistakes, at least I can say that I stay true to myself and I'm happy with who I am.” -Eileen Lim Also, here's the PDF format for THE WHY WORKSHEET that you can download for free. ********** About Eileen Lim: Eileen Lim is the paper artist behind her whimsical online moniker ‘Miss Petal & Bloom.' Based in Singapore, she is a full-time, self-taught crepe paper artist and has crafted blooms for brands such as Gucci, Bvlgari Parfums, Jo Malone, The Body Shop, Keds, Coach, Olivia Burton, and many more.

Hello and welcome to The Travel Diaries Season 7! I'm starting this season with a Destination Special mini series - three incredible destinations, all on my travel wish list, with some great celeb guests and destination experts helping us bring them to life, and today is no exception. We are heading on a journey to South East Asia, to a small but mighty thirty mile long tropical island, surrounded by sixty two smaller islands, with Malaysia to its north and Indonesia to its South. It is of course Spectacular Singapore. Beyond Singapore's picture-perfect skyline and bustling city centre, there's so much about this country to explore and I have two fabulous guests who will help us do just that. First, Michelin-starred chef, tv presenter and author Tom Kerridge returns to the podcast. When he joined me be back on Season 2, he picked Singapore as his all time favourite destination, and so I thought who better to come back? Food is so important in Singaporean culture that a common greeting is "Have you eaten?” And then we'll be joined by novelist, editor and travel journalist Annabelle Thorpe. Annabelle spent six years on the Times Travel desk, before becoming deputy travel editor for Express Newspapers, and then taking the same role at the Observer. She has a particularly spot for Singapore which she has visited and written about many times. She shares her insider tips and expert knowledge, and so many recommendations if you are planning a trip to Singapore - which I hope after listening to this episode you will be inspired to do. I know I certainly am!Destination Recap:Tom KerridgeMarina Bay Sands HotelHawker food stallsRestaurant ZénAnnabelle Thorpe Singapore Botanic GardensGardens by the BaySentosa IslandJurong LakeBukit Timah Nature ReserveAnn Siang HouseRaffles SingaporeCapella SingaporeNational Museum of SingaporeFort Canning ParkFullerton RoadIf you're inspired to start planning your trip to Singapore, head to visitsingapore.com and check out your favourite newspapers and travel magazines which often have detailed destination guides.If you're enjoying the podcast, then it would be wonderful if you could leave a rating or a review on your podcast app - it really makes a big difference because it helps other people to discover the podcast.

It is all about smell this week as Aldo speaks to a real 'Nose'. We dive into the world of perfumes and talk about all the highs and lows of this very particular job with Ruth Mastenbroek, a life-long perfumer with her very own brand.  Guest Introduction:  The 1985 novel ‘Perfume' (or Das Parfum) from the hand of author Patrick Suskind is one of the best-selling German novels of the 20th century. The title remained on all success lists for about nine years, and received almost unanimously positive national and international critical acclaim.  The book was translated into 49 languages and more than 20 million copies were sold worldwide to date.  For the movie-lovers among us the book was also made into a fantastic motion picture in 2006 -  but that as an aside.  Now it is true that Perfume has a sinister streak but I think that is not why it was such a success. The novel fascinated millions of people as it explored the sense of smell and its relationship with the emotional meanings that scents may have.  The ability to catch a scent, to define it, to tie it to an emotion and then having the skill to reproduce and sell it - is a true talent that not many people possess.  My next guest excels in it.  Ruth Mastenbroek has been a Perfumer - also dubbed a Nose - for over 35 years. She has been commissioned by countless leading scent makers, fashion brands and even Royal Houses to create fragrances for men, women and for the home.  Throughout her career Ruth worked with many names such as Kenneth Turner and Jigsaw. She was responsible for the Life With a View collection and for the famous Grapefruit candle from Jo Malone. (fun fact: the actress Jennifer Lopez loved that candle so much, she bought 300 of them for her hotel room)  Ruth graduated from Oxford University with a degree in Chemistry and started her perfume career as a sales assistant at the perfume department at Selfridge's. Her creativity, curiosity and knowledge of the periodic table led her to take on the perfume maker profession in the UK, the Netherlands and Japan - she was trained first at a big company - now called Givaudan - and in 2003 decided to start her own fragrance business. Meanwhile Ruth was also President of the British Society of Perfumers.   In 2010, Ruth launched her own niche fragrance collection; her very own signature line to let her imagination run free. Giving life to her very  own perfumes named: Signature, Oxford, Amorosa, Firedance and Dagian.  Her fragrances are sold in many famous stores and outlets such as Fortum & Mason in London and Ruth Mastenbroek Perfumes has grown into a family business as her daughter Claire and son Nic have joined Ruth in making sure that the world can smell at its very best.  When reading the descriptions of her perfumes on her website, Ruth herself sounds like quite the storyteller. I don't know much about fragrances but I guess she is right when she claims that perfumes tell a story over time.  You can find out more about Ruth's work and her perfumes by going to her site: https://www.ruthmastenbroek.com
