Most founders think growth comes from reaching more people. Amanda Reid built a sold-out retreat by doing the exact opposite. Instead of creating an experience for everyone, she created one deeply tailored to a very specific type of creative entrepreneur. The result? A luxury calligrapher retreat that sold out in just three minutes. Amanda is a modern calligrapher, live event engraver, and founder of Amanda Reid Designs, a luxury creative studio based in Austin, Texas. Her work has been featured at events for brands like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Google, Kendra Scott, and more. But beyond the luxury brand partnerships, Amanda has also built something rare inside a niche creative industry: a retreat experience people are willing to travel across the country for. In this episode, Amanda shares how she identified that gap and turned it into the Luxury Calligrapher Retreat, an immersive experience that now sells out in minutes. We unpack what actually creates demand for high-ticket events, why intimacy matters more than scale, and how thoughtful positioning can completely change how people perceive your business. Amanda walks through the behind-the-scenes realities of planning retreats, from putting down thousands of dollars on venues before selling a single ticket to obsessing over tiny guest experience details most people never consciously notice. We also talk about the emotional side of building something new, including the fear of nobody showing up and the mindset shift required to move from service provider to industry leader. Whether you are planning your first event or trying to position yourself as a leader in your industry, this episode is a masterclass in building experiences people want to talk about. In this episode, you'll learn: Why niching down often creates more demand, not less The exact marketing strategy that helped her first retreat sell out in 25 minutes Why intimate experiences create deeper customer loyalty How luxury details elevate the attendee experience What most people underestimate about planning retreats and live events Why looking outside your industry can spark better ideas How retreats can open doors to sponsorships and brand partnerships The operational details that make guests feel cared for Why educating your industry can elevate your brand positioning Links Mentioned Amanda Reid Designs Amanda Reid Designs Instagram Luxury Calligrapher Retreat Plannable Ready to build a brand that actually works for you?

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1927DM There's a name for that feeling that saving money is pointless. Haley Sacks, a.k.a. Mrs. Dow Jones, calls it financial nihilism. It's when you've counted yourself out so completely that you stop planning for the future and start flexing for the present. She lived it. Designer bag on one hand, past-due rent on the other. The wake-up wasn't a book or a seminar. It was staring at a Louis Vuitton bag she bought on eBay and realizing it was a mask. Something to signal "I'm fine" when she wasn't. Billionaires wear sweatpants because they don't need to prove anything. That contrast says everything. $200 a month at 25 turns into $700,000 by your sixties. The math works. The only thing stopping most people is believing it won't matter. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today we're chatting with Rachel Koffsky Parker, Senior Vice President and International Head of Department for Handbags and Accessories at Christie's auction house — one of the most recognized voices in the global luxury handbag market and, an auctioneer herself, having taken handbag sales in New York, London, Geneva, and Hong Kong. After internships at the Met and the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Rachel found her way to Christie's in 2014, just as handbags were becoming a formalized auctionhouse category. Since, she has helped build the handbag category from the ground up, growing into what is now one of the most strategically important departments in the house — responsible for bringing in 12% of all new Christie's clients and selling in excess of forty million dollars in handbags worldwide last year alone. Over the last decade plus, she's brought the first single-owner handbag collections to market in both Milan and Paris, set world auction records for Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci, and helped transform the way an entire generation of collectors thinks about handbags — not just as accessories, but as objects with history, rarity, provenance, and serious investment value. On today's episode, we get into all of it: how she built her expertise by cataloging up to a hundred bags a week, what actually drives value at auction, the record-breaking lots that still give her chills, and why a little wear and patina has gone from a liability to a badge of honor in the eyes of today's collectors. All that and more! Let's dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [4:00] Rachel grew up obsessed with Lucky Magazine, loving all things fashion and handbags. [6:35] How her love of luxury handbags led to a career in the auction house. [9:16] The first Christie's auction to include handbags was in 1978, but it wasn't until 2014 that handbags became a formalized category at the house. [10:25] Handbags now bring in 12% of all new Christie's clients, making it one of the most strategically important departments in the house. [12:20] Christie's customers began to understand handbags as an asset class. [18:06] What drives pre-sale estimates, and what provenance means in the auction world [23:55] Christie's world-record handbag auctions [31:43] Current trends on the secondary luxury market [36:17] The upcoming Christie's luxury week sale with over 250 lots [38:10] What goes into producing an auction [40:32] Rachel's Holy Grail lot [42:22] The personal pieces Rachel will never part with EPISODE MENTIONS: Christie's @christiesinc @christieshandbags Yayoi Kusama x Louis Vuitton pumpkin bag Hermès Kelly Doll Upcoming Handbag auction: 28 May to 11 June.

Zdravo. Tokrat začnemo z debato o dopustih, instagram turizmu in vplivnežih, ki jih srečaš celo pred nizkocenovno trgovino. Ekskluzivno napovem napovemo novega ministra za finance prihajajoče vlade in se spomnimo, kako se je včasih zvečerilo v gostilnah in pri frizerju. Skoraj že končamo tretje poglavje, kjer se Douglas in ekipa končno na blizu srečajo z nosorogom, mi pa še prej o boginjah ljubezni in o starih in novih bogovih. Omenimo tudi Lado, se dotaknemo borznih mehurčkov in ugibamo, kdaj bo počil(o). Če ste že na dopustu, uživajte, pošljite kakšno razglednico in nas poslušajte še naprej. Pa radi se imejte.

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (5.14) This episode has everything — award-winning teachers, fake luxury bags, sleep science, Vegas donuts, celebrity politics, and the great Funyons debate. We kick things off with Katherine Green of Golden West College, one of Orange County’s Teachers of the Year, who’s changing the way chemistry is taught with her hands-on “10-10” learning method. Her innovative teaching style earned her a $25,000 award and a shot at California Teacher of the Year honors. Then we head to Las Vegas where Randy’s Donuts officially lands inside Red Rock Casino, and later we break down the science behind the perfect amount of sleep — why both too much and too little can actually hurt you. We also dive into the $10 million counterfeit luxury goods bust in Downtown L.A., celebrity support surrounding mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, and the obsession with high-end brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, Prada, and Dior. Plus, Neil Saavedra gears up for a live broadcast from Wild Fork Foods in Thousand Oaks to launch grilling season ahead of Memorial Day weekend. And finally… we tackle the question dividing snack lovers everywhere: is it “Funyons” or “Fun-EE-ons”? The Fork Report ad-libs get appropriately ridiculous.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Your money beliefs were locked in by the time you were seven years old. The patterns showing up in your bank account right now started somewhere in your childhood. And most of the financial advice you have been given is aimed at the wrong target. Financial educator Haley Sacks, a.k.a. Mrs. Dow Jones, author of Future Rich Person: The New Rules for Building Wealth, breaks down why obsessing over lattes and pre-chopped vegetables is a waste of your financial energy. Negotiating your salary, understanding compound interest, learning to earn more. That is what actually moves the needle. There's a real difference between looking rich and being rich. Looking rich is the designer logo, the signal, the illusion. Being rich is driving a Jeep, buying back your time, and not needing anyone to notice. Haley shares how she blew her first $3,000 windfall on an oversized fake Louis Vuitton bag on eBay and couldn't make rent that month. The bag is still on her shelf as a reminder. Haley calls it learned financial helplessness. When you feel like the system is completely stacked against you and there is no real path to win, you stop trying and start looking for shortcuts. Faking rich becomes the move. But once you name what is working against you, you take back some of the power. That is where her IBIZA money mindset program (Identify, Blame, Interrupt, Z, Action) comes in. You do not need a high salary to build wealth. A janitor named Ronald died with $8 million because he always kept action money, the money left after expenses, and put it to work in low-cost index funds consistently over time. The billionaires are investing in the same vehicles available to you right now. The only question is whether you start. Get your copy of Future Rich Person: The New Rules for Building Wealth Financial Tea Podcast Haley on Instagram In this episode you will: Discover the three rules to becoming a Future Rich Person and why money mindset has to come first before any financial strategy will stick Learn the difference between action money and the rest of your budget, and why understanding this gap is the key to actually building wealth Understand learned financial helplessness and how to use the IBIZA framework (Identify, Blame, Interrupt, Z, Action) to shift your money self-identity Break down the real difference between looking rich and being rich, and what your spending patterns reveal about your deeper beliefs around value and self-worth Find out what to teach your kids about money early, including how to talk from abundance instead of scarcity, how to tie chores to pay, and how to introduce taxes through an allowance system For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1927 For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960 Follow The Daily Motivation for essential highlights from The School of Greatness More SOG episodes we think you'll love: Lewis Howes Solo [$0 to $1M Blueprint] Vivian Tu Brendon Burchard TOPICS Haley Sacks, Future Rich Person book, action money, learned financial helplessness, value-based spending, financial energy, IBIZA money mindset framework, frictionless finance, compound interest, money shame Get more from Lewis!

Send us Fan MailDana Wilkey from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is back with a podcast episode that covers more exclusive ground than any other show in the Bravo commentary space right now — and if you are not already a Patreon subscriber this is the one that is going to change your mind. Dorit Kemsley is all over the news today with PK Kemsley dropping a TMZ article about her near million dollar spending spree on Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Hermès while the family home spirals toward foreclosure — but wait until you hear Dana's theory on exactly why Dorit Kemsley did it because it is a genius legal move that nobody in media is connecting and it completely reframes everything you watched on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15 reunion. Then the Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky angle that goes so much deeper than what is being reported and once you hear it you will understand why Dorit Kemsley threw the gloves off this entire season. Then Mauricio Umansky slides into Lala Kent's DMs and the reason Dana thinks he did it is not what Lala is suggesting. Then the Jennifer Fessler and West Wilson scandal exploding everywhere today — Ciara Miller drops the bombshell and Dana had receipts sitting in her files before any of this broke plus a take on West Wilson's real pattern of behavior that is going to make you see this story very differently. Then something you will not find anywhere else — Louie Ruelas and a secret AI generated account allegedly being used to drop RHONJ gossip targeting Melissa Gorga and Dolores Catania — completely exclusive. Then explosive on the ground RHORI street tea on Kelsey Swanson, John Caprio, Brian Pontarelli, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, Jo-Ellen Tiberi, Alicia Carmody and Dino from Liz McGraw's circle that completely contradicts what you are seeing on the show and is available nowhere else.

Steve and Michael open earnings season for March-ending retailers with a tour of luxury's stumble. LVMH posted just 1% organic growth, with fashion and leather — including Louis Vuitton — remaining soft. Kering continues its turnaround "with more promise than proof" under new CEO Luca de Meo. Even Hermès saw growth slow and its stock fall. The common thread: the Middle East, where mall traffic has reportedly dropped 30–50% at locations like Mall of the Emirates. Albertsons' 0.7% comp reinforces the "unremarkable middle" thesis. Meanwhile, Amazon's Andy Jassy confirmed in his shareholder letter that Amazon has surpassed Kroger to become America's #2 grocer — a milestone that largely slipped past the headlines. March core retail sales came in hot at 7.05%, with apparel, health & beauty, and sporting goods posting low-double-digit gains — likely fueled by tax refunds and the ongoing GLP-1 wardrobe refresh. On tariffs, refunds appear to be coming. Even so, the Treasury is already signaling new tariffs to replace those ruled illegal. The centerpiece of the episode is Retail Rumble Part 2, recorded live on the ShopTalk Las Vegas stage. In Round 1, Steve faces off against Ken Pilot, Founder and CEO of Ken Pilot Ventures, on whether department stores can be resurrected. Ken argues format and geography still matter — pointing to thriving concepts in Dubai, Beijing's SKP, and El Corte Inglés — and jabs at Steve's alleged American-centric view. Steve fires back with the numbers: department stores' share of U.S. retail has collapsed from 10% to 1.8%, with poor momentum and store closings running rampant. Round 2 pits Lauren Livak Gilbert against Sarah Enge, on whether AI is a threat or opportunity for your job. Lauren leans into Goldman Sachs' 300-million-jobs figure and the hollowing out of analyst roles. Sarah counters that AI effectively returns a full workday to marketers and frees humans for storytelling and connection. In the back half, Steve revisits Allbirds' bizarre reinvention as NewBird.ai — a GPU-as-a-service AI compute platform that sent the stock up 700% before it cratered. The duo also unpacks Starbucks' strategy under Brian Niccol, now being called the "couchification of Starbucks" — leaning into comfort and dwell time over throughput. On the radar: Steve flags global travel disruption tied to the Iran conflict, including warnings of a potential European jet fuel shortage within six weeks. Michael highlights New York State's new cash-acceptance law for retailers and softer-than-expected World Cup ticket sales.

Interview Date: March 29Episode Summary:In this episode of the Business of Dance Podcast, Menina Fortunato sits down with internationally acclaimed dancer, creative, and entrepreneur Loïc Mabanza to explore his inspiring journey from street dancing in Paris to working with some of the biggest names in entertainment. Entirely self-taught, Loïc shares how dance was never something he formally planned for—it was simply part of who he was. Everything shifted when, at just 16 years old, he was paid for his first music video, opening his eyes to the possibility of building a real career through dance.Loïc reflects on the mindset that carried him through uncertainty, rejection, and doubt. He speaks candidly about being underestimated by peers, yet staying committed to a vision that others could not see. Rather than waiting for the perfect opportunity, he focused on consistent action, trusting that small steps would eventually lead him where he wanted to go. His story is a powerful example of how clarity, preparation, and resilience can turn impossible dreams into real opportunities.Throughout the conversation, Loïc shares pivotal moments that shaped his career, from using street performances to fund travel, to taking bold risks like crashing auditions and placing himself in rooms he technically was not invited into. Those decisions became defining turning points that led to major professional breakthroughs, including opportunities on the global stage.This episode is filled with wisdom for dancers and creatives carving out their own path. Loïc challenges the idea of having a “plan B,” encouraging artists to fully back themselves while building confidence through small wins and real-life evidence. His perspective is a reminder that success is rarely linear, but with vision, adaptability, self-belief, and persistence, it becomes possible to create a career far beyond what others expect.Shownotes:00:00 – Introduction to Loïc Mabanza and his global career04:00 – Growing up self-taught and naturally connected to dance05:50 – First paid music video sparks professional ambition08:15 – Choosing dance fully and moving with intention13:20 – Being doubted by others and staying committed20:00 – Success as a step-by-step journey26:30 – The overseas journey that led to Madonna28:30 – Street performances funding career opportunities37:40 – Crashing an audition and making the finals49:30 – Building confidence through small wins52:00 – Advice for dancers pursuing their dreamsBiography:Loïc Mabanza is a French-born professional dancer, choreographer, actor, filmmaker, author, model, and entrepreneur known for his versatility and high-energy performance style. Over the course of his career, he has worked with global artists including Madonna, Usher, Chris Brown, Kendrick Lamar, Mariah Carey, Cher, Jay-Z, Fergie, Jennifer Hudson, and Wizkid. He was also selected by creative director Jamie King and choreographers Richmond and Anthony Talauega to be one of Michael Jackson's dancers for the posthumous album Xscape.His commercial portfolio includes campaigns for major global brands such as Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Ralph Lauren, Levi's, Swarovski, Diesel, Timberland, Samsung, Toyota, and Equinox, where he became a brand ambassador following the “Life is the Luxury” campaign. He has also appeared in respected editorial publications including W Magazine, Vogue Germany, Vogue Arabia, V Magazine, GQ, and Harper's Bazaar Brazil.As an actor, Loïc has appeared in Moon Knight (2022), And Just Like That... (2023), Girls5eva (2024), and The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins (2026).

This take calls out the “buy now, pay later” mindset—why going into debt for concerts, luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Gucci, or influencer clout isn't worth it. If you can't afford it upfront, you can't afford it—here's why that mindset matters more than ever.
Why does every fashion brand run a coffee shop? How did a Stussy varsity jacket network from the late 1980s predict the business model of modern fashion? What does used spray paint have to do with why Miu Miu is one of the most effective brands in the world right now?Sol Thompson and Michael Smith open Season 14 of the Pair of Kings Podcast with a level set: the history of integrated fashion—the idea that buying clothes has always really been about buying into a lifestyle, a cult of personality, and an identity. Starting in 2014 at the height of Tumblr's image-first culture and tracing the full arc through Supreme drop culture, the grail sneaker peak, the outfit grid, the crash of sneaker resale, the rise of archive fashion, and the TikTok lifestyle-as-content revolution, they map how men's relationship with fashion fundamentally changed.They cover the Stüssy Tribe as fashion's original brand ambassador model—featuring Hiroshi Fujiwara, Michael Kopelman, and a pre-Supreme James Jebbia—the Supreme x LV collab as the undisputed peak of drop culture, Kith Treats and Cafe Leon Dore as the architects of the fashion third space, and the Miu Miu Literary Club as the most transparent example of what fashion brands are actually selling. We also touch on Demna's debut Gucci collection and his philosophy as a fashion anthropologist, the Hedi Slimane Saint Laurent Hedi boy cult of personality, the runway appearances of looksmaxxing and body dysmorphia, Vivienne Westwood and punk as integrated fashion's original historical anchor, the CBK/JFK aesthetic overtaking downtown New York, and what it means when even finance bros start buying Celine suits on purpose.Michael's fit: Wabash denim from Sugar Cane, Flat Head houndstooth flannel.Sol's fit: a Daft Punk Musique Vol. 1 CD release tee and a North Face layer.We hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.Lots of love,Sol---Episode Tags: integrated fashion, fashion lifestyle, menswear history 2026, drop culture history, grail sneakers, Stussy Tribe, Supreme x Louis Vuitton collab, archive fashion rise, sneaker resale crash, StockX history, Cafe Leon Dore, Kith Treats, fashion third space, Miu Miu Literary Club, Miu Miu girl, Demna Gvasalia Gucci 2026, Hedi Slimane Saint Laurent, Hedi boy aesthetic, Vivienne Westwood punk, looksmaxxing fashion, CBK JFK New York aesthetic, finance bro style 2026, Patagonia vest, Tumblr fashion era, outfit grid, KOTD, Instagram reels fashion, Hiroshi Fujiwara, James Jebbia, A$AP Rocky fashion, Rick Owens darkwear, archive PDF, menswear podcast 2026, Pair of Kings podcast, fashion podcastSol Thompson and Michael Smith explore the world and subcultures of fashion, interviewing creators, personalities, and industry insiders to highlight the new vanguard of the fashion world.

This episode is a little different. It's not just strategy—it's the real, behind-the-scenes of what it looked like for me navigating divorce, financial fear, and the decision to invest in myself when I felt anything but ready. Today, I'm sharing a very personal story from one of the hardest seasons of my life and how a moment involving a Louis Vuitton bag completely changed the way I think about money, fear, and betting on myself. If you've been holding back, overthinking, or waiting until you feel "ready" to take the next step in your business, this is your reminder that you don't need more time—you need a decision.

As AI makes it easier than ever to reach a global audience, is it also making it easier to fail on a global scale? Agility requires more than just speed; it requires situational awareness. For global brands, this means having the cultural intelligence to understand the nuances of local markets and adapt your strategy in a way that builds trust, not erodes it. Today, we're going to talk about a critical paradox facing modern marketers: as technology and AI make global expansion seem easier than ever, the risk of cultural missteps and brand damage has never been higher. We'll explore why cultural intelligence is becoming the most vital, and perhaps most overlooked, asset for building brand value, and how getting it right is the key to unlocking sustainable growth in a world that is both interconnected and deeply, culturally distinct.

Maybe you've seen video of Louis Vuitton…the border hopping cat? He's racking up millions of views hopping from Canada to the US daily…with no documentation! STORY: https://www.wdjx.com/this-cat-keeps-hopping-over-the-canadian-u-s-border-daily/
The marathon that is Awards Season (at least for those of us with jobs in media) finally came to its close last night. As has become tradition, the Run-Through podcast hosts, along with colleagues Taylor Antrim and Christian Allaire, gathered early on this foggy morning to discuss their takes on the 98th Academy Awards. The conversation started off with everyone's best dressed picks. For Chioma, this included Wunmi Mosaku who dazzled in her sparkling emerald green Louis Vuitton dress. The list of best dressed also included Renate Reinsve, another star in Louis Vuitton, and Gwenyth Paltrow in Armani Privé who both sported dramatic slits. Slits were just one of the fashion trends making a splash on last night's red carpet, reminding editors of Angelina Jolie's internet-breaking dress slit at the 2012 ceremony. Feathers were another item in vogue on the carpet and were worn by Teyana Taylor, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman, and Best Supporting Actress winner Amy Madigan. A conversation around the many jewels and rare diamonds being worn last night spawned a curiosity about the guards who work the Oscars. Perhaps a 2027 diamond guard get ready with me story is forthcoming?As for two of the biggest categories of the night—best actor and best actress—everyone was in agreement that Michael B Jordan and recent guest of the podcast Jessie Buckley, were chic and deserving winners. Up next, Met gala season!The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Confidence was one of the key themes from this Paris Fashion Week. Recording from the Vogue Paris office ahead of Chanel and Louis Vuitton, our hosts (and special guest Claire Thomson-Jonville, Head of Editorial Content at Vogue France) were in agreement: many of the new creative directors have stopped auditioning for their roles and started owning them. Nowhere was that clearer than at Givenchy, where Sarah Burton proved she'd hit her stride.Michael Rider's third outing for Celine at the Institut de France was also a highlight: "Expensive-looking, but aspirationally relatable," as Sarah Mower put it. The Michael Rider effect can already be seen in the wild, with Vogue staffers spotted doing their own styling interpretations inspired by the runway.Pieter Mulier's intimate farewell at Alaïa, with standing room and children in the audience, was a moving moment from the week. Mulier's decision to seat the full atelier team and commemorate them in a book felt particularly meaningful. As Paris Fashion Week came to a close, all eyes were once again on Matthieu Blazy's Chanel. British Vogue March cover star (and Run-Through alum!) Bhavitha Mandava was just announced as house ambassador, and her appearance on the runway is highly anticipated. As Chloe Malle said in her sign-off: "Happy Chanel Day to all who celebrate!"
