Anya Cheng, Founder and CEO of Taelor, is making personal styling accessible to everyday professionals with an AI-powered clothing-on-demand service built for busy men and influencers. After 15 years leading product teams at companies like Meta, eBay, McDonald's, and Target, Anya turned her own frustration with shopping and laundry into a mission-driven business that helps people look great, feel confident, and save time—while also supporting sustainability by keeping more clothing out of landfills. We explore Anya's Product Management Framework, the structured approach she uses to build and scale products. Instead of starting with technology, she begins by Identifying the Right Problem, then Looking at the Persona, Validating the Buying Journey, and Identifying Pain Points. From there, she Selects Decision Criteria to prioritize what matters most, Brainstorms Solutions, and finally Identifies the Right Solution based on impact, feasibility, and business value. She explains how this framework guides everything from launching Taelor to deciding which AI features to build next. — 7-Steps to Winning Products with Anya Cheng Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here, Founder of the Summit OS Group. And my guest today is Anya Cheng, the Founder and CEO of Taelor, an AI-powered clothing on-demand service for men and social media influencers. Anya, welcome to the show.  Hello, this is Anya from San Francisco. I’m the founder of Taelor. We use AI to pick clothes for busy men. In the old days, only celebrities had their own human stylists. Now everyone can have their own AI stylist, and we send people real clothes to rent. Before starting the company, I spent 15 years in big tech companies. Most recently at Meta, where I helped build Facebook and Instagram Shopping. I was Head of Product at eBay and helped them launch new businesses in the US, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. I was also a Senior Director at McDonald’s, where I helped build their food delivery business globally when Uber Eats just started, and I helped Target build a tech office here in Silicon Valley. I’m excited to share more.  Okay, well we already got a lot out of you, so thank you for giving this quick bio. What I’m very interested in is what drives you. So you worked for Target. I think you worked for Amazon, at least with Amazon. You worked for other big tech.  EBay, McDonald’s, and Facebook.  Yes, so big tech companies like Meta. What makes someone who is a successful leader in big tech break out start as an entrepreneur? What is your personal “Why” that drives you and that you want to manifest in your business?  Yeah, it actually start with my personal problems that I had. When I was working for Meta, I was a few female leaders there leading large technology team. So I felt a little bit of imposter syndrome. I wanted to look great, but I don’t want people to find out that I’m freaking out every day. So I tried some subscription boxes like Stitch Fix, which is similar to the old Trunk Club. It's good that someone styles you. But once you receive those boxes, you have to decide right away: how many times am I going to wear these clothes? And you have to buy before you can wear them. So can I find something even cheaper somewhere else? How do I pair these items? And once I buy them, I have to do laundry, ironing, and folding. It's just a lot of work. So I started using rental companies. I rented from companies like Nuuly, which is a $500 million revenue company, or companies like Rent the Runway, which is a public company. They are all great—you can rent, you don’t have to buy. But they require people to pick from hundreds of thousands of garments. You spend two hours picking, picking, picking, browsing, browsing, browsing. And I’m not into fashion. I don’t like fashion. I don’t have time to do shopping. I'm not fashion-forward, so I don't even know how to pick. That was the “aha” moment for me— I realized most fashion companies are designed for people who are into fashion, not for people like me who just want to get ready for the day and be successful.Share on X So I started doing research. Are there other people like me—who hate shopping and laundry but need to look good, be socially active, go to meetings, close deals, get jobs? It turns out there are a lot of people like me: busy men, single guys, salespeople, consultants, pastors, recruiters, professors. There are 15 million single men, 14 million sales professionals in the U.S., and it turns out we started Taelor to help people like me look great without having to think about fashion.  Well, I don't know—if you look at my shirt, I probably could also use some Taelor treatment, an AI telling me how to dress better. So what drives you? I understand this is a great idea and definitely necessary, but what makes you excited about it?  I think I've personally always been passionate about helping people achieve their goals. I started as a blue-collar kid—my mom is a housewife, my dad is a factory worker, originally from Taiwan, and they've been in the U.S. for 20 years. As an immigrant, I came to the U.S. and was very lucky to have a lot of people help me. I got a student long ago, went to Northwestern University, got my MBA from the University of Chicago. I came to the U.S. without knowing anyone here, but many people helped me achieve the American dream. So it has always been in my heart to help more people achieve their dreams. What I realized was that dressing well really helped me—almost like a student who buys a textbook and feels ready for the exam even though they haven't read it yet.Share on X People using amazing software or tools will buy books or start learning and already feel smarter than before. It's really a peace of mind that helped me. So I've always been passionate about how I can help more people achieve their goals, their dreams, and their full potential. I realized this business helps me do that. I've tried to do that in other ways before: I've published books, created online courses, and taught at Northwestern University. But this business is an additional way to help people achieve their goals. At the same time, my co-founder, Phoebe, who is originally from Malaysia, she has been in the U.S. for 20 years. Growing up, she wanted to be a fashion designer, but in an Asian family, she became an accountant and finance professional, eventually a CFO. She always had a little spark in her heart to do something related to fashion, and she is very passionate about sustainability. She constantly talks about how today, 30% of clothes go directly from factories to landfills, generating 10% of carbon emissions and polluting 20% of the world's water. Sustainability is really close to her heart. By the time she had worked for 15 years, she felt ready for a change, and we both shared the same vision. That's how we started the business together.  Love it. It's really a mission-driven company. I didn't realize this when we first talked, but a lot of people are held back by not being well-dressed. Again, I don’t want to be the example here. I also like the idea because my daughter talks a lot about throwing away clothes and how much damage it does to the environment. I really like that you help people wear and buy only the clothes they actually need and send back the ones they don't. This is awesome. So let's switch gears here. I'm really curious about how you develop your products because this is a very creative business. You have to develop a new, revolutionary concept and product. Do you have a framework for developing these products?  Yeah, absolutely. We always start with the problem we are solving. I teach product management at Northwestern University, and most people, when they think about building a product, their first thought is, “Hey, what product am I building? How do I build it? What technology should I use?” We use AI to build this—we build AI agents—but in fact, you should take a step back. There are two equally important questions you need to ask: what problem should I solve, and what solution should I pick?  Most people spend 95% of their time thinking about what solution to pick. But first, you need to figure out what problem you should solve. The problem you solve is actually the most important thing, because if you're solving the wrong problem—one that people don't care about, or one that won't help your business, or one that you can't actually solve—then no matter how great your solution is, it's going to be a waste of time. For example, what we found is that we are totally different from women's rental companies. The problem we are solving is for guys who are busy but socially active. They have dreams. As a realtor, I want to sell one more house. As a small business owner, I want to grow my business to open a second restaurant. So they have a dream. Dressing well and looking good is something that helps increase their chances of success—getting a job, closing a deal, showing up confidently.Share on X What we are really selling is a concierge service, an executive assistant, a fairy godmother, a gadget guy behind the superhero—it's peace of mind. If you look at women's counterparts, like Nuuly or Rent the Runway, they have hundreds of millions in revenue each, but they are solving a problem for women like me. So we want to look great every single day and want to wear different things. So wearing different thing versus, I don’t want to think about it, is actually totally different problem. So if you think of our business model financially is different. For example, in women's rental businesses, margins are very low because people rent clothes and don't buy. On top of typical e-commerce costs like shipping, there are additional costs like laundry, so margins remain low. But in our business, customers use the service as “try before you buy.”. They want to save time and save space. So a lot of our revenue actually also come from people actually buying the secondhand clothes. And those people are people who would never buy secondhand before because they don’t have time. So those are white-collar, busy men renting clothes and also buying them. In addition, they ask me where to buy shoes or accessories, Valentine's Day gifts, where to get haircuts, even where to go on vacation. They treat us more like an executive assistant service. They give us lots of feedback, and we monetize that feedback back to fashion brands to help them predict what's going to sell.  Okay. That’s fascinating. So it's a two-way business because you are also selling the data that you’re collecting from people. Customer feedback, like “the sleeve is too long,” “the fabric is too tight,” “this isn't flexible,” and also insights like, “This is an amazing brand, but it's too expensive compared to 90% of our other brands on the platform, so you should lower your price.” We give that feedback to brands so they can improve. Yeah, which is basically data they don't have—and it's very valuable. That’s fascinating. So, going back to the framework—because we're a podcast about frameworks—I want to make sure we have a clear framework. You identify the right problem first, and then you reverse-engineer from there. What are the steps to get from the right problem to the right solution?  Yeah, so going from the right problem to the right solution—that's step number one. To solve the right problem, you first need to understand your personas. For example, a simple persona for us is a busy man who isn't into fashion, such as a single guy, a busy dad, a sales professional, a consultant, or a pastor. Then you map out their journey. For example, they might need to go on a business trip, attend a meeting, go to a birthday party, or go on playdates with their kids. Along that journey, they realize their clothes are old or out of style, and they need different outfits. But when they look at what they have from last year, the clothes are already too small or too big. So you identify the journey. So for example, they realize they need new clothes, and there’s a moment they say, “Okay, I can either buy exactly the same thing as last year, or… hey, I heard people are actually renting through women’s counterpart—maybe there's something like that for me.” It's like when you're bored and deciding whether to stick with Comcast or try Hulu, Disney+, or Netflix. So identify the journey. After mapping the journey, the third step is identifying the pain points. A simple feature, for example—Facebook. We all use Facebook, and one feature is the birthday feature. The personas are people who have a birthday and people who want to wish their friends a happy birthday. The pain point for the birthday person is: “I'm not sure if I should tell people, but I also don't want everyone to forget my birthday.” For friends who are close to the birthday person, their pain point is: “I forgot my friend's birthday.” So you have a lot of different pain points. Once you have your persona, their journey, and their pain points, the fourth step is to define your selection criteria. For example, you want to pick the biggest problem to solve. What should your selection criteria be? How many people are impacted, how painful it is for those people, and how likely you are to be able to solve the problem effectively. Then you choose one pain point to focus on. For example, for Taelor, we pick that we want to help busy men who are not into fashion to dress well. The pain point we addressed is helping them save time and look great.Share on X We didn't try to solve other problems. For example, a luxury menswear company might offer Louis Vuitton or Burberry for rent. The pain point they address is helping people who want luxury clothes but can't afford them, which is very different from our focus. The key is to use your selection criteria to pick the right pain point to solve first.  Now you have the pain point. For example, for me, it is helping people have peace of mind and achieve their goals. Now you start using exactly the same framework for your solution. You pick your selection criteria and identify different solutions. Take Facebook birthday as an example. Oh, the problem I want to solve is that for people who are birthday boys or girl’s friend, they want to host a party. Now you can come out with plenty of solution. For example, the solution one could be AI generating party locations. The solution two is AI generate invitations. The third could be AI suggesting a party game or activity. Then you do the same thing—you identify your criteria. There are so many solutions, so what’s my criteria? The criteria are: which solution solves the pain point better? Which one requires fewer engineering hours? Which one can drive more engagement, traffic, or revenue for the company? Then you use the framework to pick the solution.  Yeah. Love it. Okay. That’s fascinating. So you find the right problem. Then you look at the persona that has that problem. Then you identify the pain points that really bother these people.  You find those persona and journey. That’s how you find a problem.   The journey as well. So the persona. Okay. And these are busy men, so you map their journeys. They need to go to church, they need to go to meetings. Then you use your criteria to select the solution.  That’s right.  And then you basically stress test. Is this the right solution? Does it fit the criteria? Does it handle the pain points? Fascinating.  Yeah. So you’re selecting criteria for your problem. And after you pick the problem, you have the same different selecting criteria to pick your solutions.  Yeah. Got it. So how do you decide what features to develop? You have your product—you've got the clothes. People can order them, try them out, and send them back. You take care of the laundry. They don't have to worry. AI gives advice. How do you know what features to develop to define your product further?  Yeah. So the features to develop use the same framework. We start with the problem. Then we ask, what feature—or solution—solves that problem? For example, our customers say, “I hate shopping.” The solution is our AI shops for them. But they also say, I have a little bit points of views. So then we offer them a chance, they have a style quiz. They can upload a picture, say “I don't wear pink, blue, or green,” And they can say, “I never wear turtlenecks.” And then they show a few pictures of the style that they like, if they have any, or we show them pictures to like or dislike. This way, we understand their preferences and pain points. And then when they decide a feature, we're thinking about the solutions to address their pain points.Share on X So for this example, and in terms of getting into the Product Management framework: If you are really going into product management, how do you find out the solution using quant and qual? For example, you interview your customers, run focus groups, check Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, Shopify data, QuickBooks—your data points. Then you have qualitative and quantitative numbers. From there, you see the opportunity for a feature. You might identify a pain point: everyone comes to our homepage, but they drop off on the second page. Why? The homepage isn't very clear. There's no clear call-to-action button; the button was hidden. It was below the fold. Users have to scroll three times before they see the button. So, okay, I have a hypothesis. The hypothesis is that people drop off because they don't see the call-to-action button. So I'm going to come up with a solution. Solution one: move the button to the top. Solution two: have a floating button that is always visible. Solution three: show a pop-out button. And then using the same framework, like, okay, these are three great solutions. Which one take less engineering hours? Which one will potentially solve the problem better? Which one do we think will be more effective or generate more revenue? And then you decide. That's how we decide on the features.  Yeah, that’s great. Then the AI keeps learning your criteria, keeps refining, and keeps suggesting better and better-fitting clothes. It gets faster from there, I presume.  Yeah, because the customer provides feedback. Your Netflix shows—when you start, you might watch all the true crime. But after a few weeks, you start watching other things, like romcoms or Korean dramas. They see what you watch, and you start seeing those suggestions too. At the same time, what's different at Taelor is that we know the problem we're solving: helping people try something a little out of their comfort zone, because that's why they want a stylist.Share on X So we also tend to recommend something new. We work with over a hundred different brands, so we might suggest something they haven't tried before. “Oh, you've never tried purple? Why not try these light purple shirts? They look really good, similar to blue.” “Oh, you've never tried pink? How about this spring pink t-shirt? It's really nice.” It's a rental, so they don't have to commit, and they're willing to try something new—just like with Netflix. “I'm not sure if I'll like the show… watch five minutes, we'll see.”  And then, is this a global business, Taelor, or is it focused on the U.S.?  It's focused on the U.S. We serve nationwide—anywhere the post office can reach. After people sign up, shipping takes one to three days. They wear the clothes for a couple of weeks. After that, they return the clothes in a prepaid envelope. They can go to the post office, or use a post office app with one click to schedule a free pickup. You can also drop it in blue collection boxes on the street. If you're traveling—say, to New York for business—you can just return it at the hotel lobby. It's prepaid, just like any package. You ask, “Can I mail it back?” It’s prepaid. They always say yes, and then you go home, and new clothes has arrived. You don't have to do any laundry when you get home.  And you don’t have to check in your luggage.  Exactly. You don’t have to.  And to get on and off the plane quickly. I love it. That’s great. So if people would like to learn more, or they’d like to check this service out, or want to connect with you personally, where should they go?

What started out as a casual holiday purchase - a fake Louis Vuitton handbag - has rapidly escalated. The show phone has a message with someone claiming to be from the Louis Vuitton brand protection team. There is a file number. There is a London number to call. Nobody panic though, because Lise knows how to spin it into a positive. Plus, mindfulness coach Ben Crowe has an 'introduction challenge' that proves....very challenging. And the woo-woo habits we’re adopting to survive the year. No judgement; but we're talking to the trees. Got opinions? Feedback? Are you Elizabeth from the LVMH brand protection team?

We open with China's 8.7 billion-record megaleak, framing misconfigured infrastructure as a planetary-scale risk rather than a local breach. Lenovo's U.S. class action then shows how invisible web trackers can quietly “spill” American browsing data to China, while South Korea's heavy fines against Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Tiffany illustrate that even luxury brands now pay real money when they mishandle customer information.The focus then narrows to individuals: a 17.5M-user Instagram dataset on underground forums, malicious GenAI Chrome extensions posing as helpers while siphoning data, and a decade-old Apple zero-day likely leveraged by commercial spyware all demonstrate how ordinary accounts and devices can become rich sources of exploitable data. Together they highlight a world where “just contact details,” browser add-ons, and long-lived bugs can escalate into serious compromise.From there, the update shifts into ambient surveillance and manipulation: Meta's planned facial-recognition “Name Tag” for Ray-Ban smart glasses pushes identification into public spaces and raises new concerns about children and bystanders, while AI-saturated products from Google, Meta, and others quietly convert intimate conversations and searches into highly targeted ad fuel. It closes with a Shakespeare quote about guilt “spilling” itself and a sign-off urging listeners to “pour with a steady hand,” tying the spill metaphor back to handling data, tools, and trust more carefully in everyday digital life.

You guys… I am UNWELL in the best way because this week I'm joined by Bravo superfan, impersonation king, fashion icon, and future podcast host Oliver Sims IV — and this episode is pure Bravo chaos.We talk about his Watch What Happens Live bartender moment (which is literally my dream, Andy call me), how Bravo slid into his life, and how he went from posting joggers videos to becoming actual friends with Housewives. Meanwhile, I'm talking to flickering lights that might be my grandma, spiraling about airport anxiety, and emotionally supporting Oliver through a missing Louis Vuitton bag situation that has us both stressed.We get into Beverly Hills being overrated (I said what I said), why Dallas needs a reboot, why Salt Lake City is elite television, and Oliver gives Mary Cosby, Lisa Barlow, and Nene impressions that made me question my own existence.Follow Oliver everywhere @oliversimsiv and get ready for his podcast “Oliver's Reality” launching this spring.Make sure you LIKE, COMMENT why you're literally not okay this week, and SUBSCRIBE so we can spiral together every single week.Love you mean it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The trio dives headfirst into the 2026 Grammys Runway Rundown— delivering their signature takes on the good, the bad, the ugly, and the unforgettable “fire the stylist!” moments. The show kicks off with their classic intro before reminding listeners they can book an Armenian Coffee Reading at PolAtteu.com — virtually or live in West Hollywood — and grab a SnowWhite90210 SnowBubu (the ultimate glam accessory for your Birkin, backpack or shelf). Then it's straight to fashion fireworks. Chappell Roan stuns in a bordeaux cape moment that transforms from understated elegance to bold art reveal — complete with nipple rings. Pol praises the risk; Patrik debates the appropriateness. Art vs. shock value sets the tone for the episode. Chaka Khan in Christian Siriano sparks heated discussion: corsetry, coke feathers, mesh boots and gold nails. Glam icon? Yes. Modern? Debatable. The proportions and dated structure divide the room.  Benson Boone (Armani) brings black-on-black layering lessons, prompting a masterclass on dye lots and fabric depth. Meanwhile, Angelique Kidjo in Louis Vuitton velvet is declared powerful, polished, and perfectly proportioned — head wrap, double-breasted suit and all. Adrienne Bailon Houghton's crystal architectural gown reads vintage flapper fantasy, while Addison Rae's Alaïa white tiered plunge feels more Met Gala than Grammys. Sticky tape fashion tips ensue. Jennifer Hudson earns rave reviews for her ruched leather Killian Koerner gown with dramatic shoulder and cascading slit — Grammy edge done right. Jewelry layering advice follows. Justin & Hailey Bieber deliver coordinated black Balenciaga/Alaïa cool. Sexy, confident, curated sloppy. Justin's stripped-down performance ignites debate: raw genius or missed theatrical moment? Karol G's pistachio lace Paolo Sebastian gown divides over tassels vs. sultry silhouette. Yungblud in Chrome Hearts revives rock energy with leather, chains and a cross pendant. Sombr's iridescent Valentino suit with “Happy Rose” lace is called one of the night's best — shimmering, daring and Grammy-perfect. Pol even volunteers to recreate it.  Sabrina Carpenter (Valentino couture) looks beautiful but “Emmys, not Grammys." Rosé in Giambattista Valli feels elegant yet lacking edge. Paris Hilton channels Material Girl in bugle-beaded Nicholas Jebran with opera gloves and diamonds. Accessory masterclass unlocked.  Miley Cyrus (Celine) gets labeled “rock mom office-core,” while Lady Gaga's feathered Matières Fécales creation is praised as theatrical Grammy fantasy — thousands of feathers, Maleficent collar, full commitment.  Kesha's white feather Atelier Versace is deemed poorly constructed and overwhelming, while Doechii in Cavalli purple confection feels Moulin Rouge meets prom curtain. Darren Criss (Tanner Fletcher brocade) impresses but needs a brooch moment. Billie Eilish (Hodakova) delivers inside-out conceptual tailoring — authentic and Grammys appropriate and Audrey Nuna (Thom Browne couture) is admired artistically but “the outfit wore her.” Finally, Teyana Taylor in Tom Ford closes the fashion segment flawlessly — sculpted, confident, fully accessorized diva energy.

Most global brands fail at cultural relevance despite massive research investments. Katherine Melchior Ray, former CMO at Shiseido and marketing leader across Nike, Louis Vuitton, and Hyatt, bridges strategic vision with cultural intelligence gained from 12 years working abroad. She reveals the "freedom within a framework" approach that lets KitKat succeed in 14 countries, the cultural intelligence model that prevents costly missteps like Airbnb's China exit, and how trust-building requires shared values, honest communication, and consistent promise delivery across every market.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah may or may not be an international criminal after purchasing a fake Louis Vuitton Neverfull. There are whispers of customs seizures, in-store confiscations and French prison sentences.

Is this why Gen Z can’t make a GP appointment?

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Ariel is once again holding down the host chair while Rick continues his mysterious multi week sabbatical (last we heard he was crossing mountains by donkey, so fingers crossed). Joined by Ripley and David, the team digs into Ariel's latest essay on why luxury watch brands should embrace controlled discounting, unpacking how pricing psychology, gray market realities, and unrealistic investment narratives have distorted modern collecting. The conversation then shifts to Ariel's recent trip to Tokyo, now arguably the world's most exciting city for watch enthusiasts, with deep dives into Japan's booming pre owned scene, Grand Seiko sightings, tax free deals, and how local retailers are reshaping displays to match global demand. From there, things jump wildly upmarket with a breakdown of the Louis Vuitton and De Bethune collaboration and its four million euro Sympathique clock fantasy, before crashing back to earth with tiny G-Shock ring watches, blind box buying culture, and whether gamified collecting is the future or just Pokémon with timekeeping. The episode wraps with thoughts on Breguet's latest Type 20 chronograph, vintage inspired design choices, and why watches should probably go back to being worn instead of treated like speculative assets, all delivered with the usual mix of industry insight and playful cynicism, plus one conspicuously empty chair while Rick continues his mysterious travels.To check out the ABTW Shop where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review!

Jackson Wang Debuts New Song “Sex God” With Pusha T at Louis Vuitton Fall Winter 2026 Show

Die Werke von Lukas Wassmann ragen mit Witz und Eleganz aus der heutigen Bilderflut heraus. Luxusartikel setzt er «trashig» frech in Szene. Ihm vertrauen namhafte Labels und Celebrities. «Kulturplatz» begleitet ihn zum «Moon Boot Shooting» ins Engadin. Der Schweizer Fotograf Lukas Wassmann sucht in seinen Mini-Inszenierungen den perfekten Moment und die Irritation. Sein Augenmerk liegt auf dem «etwas Falschen», um seinen Bildern einen Twist zu geben: Hochpreisige Slipper dümpeln im trüben Wasser, an der extravaganten Handtasche schnuppert eine Kuh. Damit begeistert der 45-Jährige die Herausgeber renommierter Hochglanzmagazine. Labels wie Dior, Armani, Louis Vuitton oder ON buchen ihn, Prominente vertrauen ihm.   «Kulturplatz» begleitet ihn zum Shooting ins «Suvretta House» und in sein Revier. Denn Wassmann jagt nicht nur nach guten Bildern, sondern ist auch Jäger und Jagdaufseher.

On this episode we discuss the Fall / Winter 2026 season with the journalist Philippe Pourhashemi. We talk about nice clothes versus fashion, the trio of shows at Pitti Uomo, the increasing irrelevance of Milan, about auteurs like Rick Owens and Rei Kawakubo, who all delivered strong collections, why Sacai keeps going from strength to strength, why Dior and Louis Vuitton continue to disappoint, and much more. Eugene and Philippe offer contrasting opinions on Prada Saint Laurent, and Dries Van Noten, and also discuss the continuing appeal of smaller brands they saw at the showrooms in Paris; Mordecai being the standout for both.Support the show

Inspired by journeys spanning steam locomotives to subways, the lineup fused Edwardian and 1960s-70s dandy tailoring with technical outerwear, from velvet blazers and faux astrakhan waistcoats to reversible parkas and sculptural coats.locomotive: 기관차fuse: 융합하다[3] “Winter can be framed as an annoyance or a wonderland. For the fall 2026 collection, Wooyoungmi took the latter view,” the brand said, recasting cold-weather dressing as an act of elegance. Creative director Woo Young-mi looked back to the early 20th century, when the arrival of Korea's first railway transformed travel into a formal ritual. “Now more grounded in her identity, Woo proposes elegance as a form of courtesy, not a way of showing off,” the show notes added.annoyance: 성가심ritual: 의식be grounded in: ~에 기반하다[4] Korean cultural references were woven literally into the clothes. Nordic-style knits revealed themselves as dancheong, Korea's traditional decorative architecture pattern, on closer inspection, while bespoke prints on trench coats featured pagodas, mountains and traditional beoseon socks and gat hats. The soundtrack -- a moody collage of wind, rain and steam engines blended with Korean folk chants reworked through artificial intelligence -- underscored the collection's dialogue between past and future.be woven into: ~에 녹아들다기사원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10662831

Het was de dag van ASML. De chipmachinebouwer breekt records met de kwartaalcijfers (en verrast). Analisten gingen uit van een orderinstroom van 7 miljard euro. ASML verplettert dat, met ruim 13 miljard euro aan nieuwe bestellingen. Ook komt er nog even een aandelen-inkoop-programma van 12 miljard euro. Het aandeel ging daarop als een raket. Stond zelfs even op een winst van 6 procent, maar stortte daarna in. En sloot met een flink verlies. Deze aflevering gaan we op onderzoek: waarom wordt het aandeel nu afgestraft? Wilden een aantal beleggers cashen of geloven ze toch niet in de beloftes van de directie?Verder hebben we het over LVMH. Dat deed het minder erg dan waarop was gerekend en kwam zelfs met een minieme groei aanzetten. Al is het voor de beleggers in de luxeketen niet genoeg. Ook zij dumpen het aandeel.Veel gesomber, maar er zijn ook grappige dingen te melden. Zoals een zeer grote en bijzondere beursgang die er in juni aan komt. Een die afgesteld is op de verjaardag van de topman en de stand van drie grote planeten. Geen grap.Ook praten we je bij over de kwartaalcijfers van KPN. Gaat het over Nvidia (en het gedonder in China). En we kijken wat het nieuwe kabinet voor de beurs in petto heeft.Te gast: Jordy Beuving, van De Aandeelhouder BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo.

Spurred by the government's "Shopping in China" initiative and other consumption-supporting measures, customs authorities in top-tier cities reported a strong increase in tax refund volumes in 2025 and forecast further growth this year.在政府“中国购物”倡议及其他消费扶持措施的推动下，2025年一线城市海关退税量显著增长，并预测今年将持续攀升。According to Guangzhou Customs, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport Customs in Guangdong province processed more than 50,000 departure tax-refund applications from overseas travelers in 2025, with the total value of refund claims exceeding 496 million yuan ($71.3 million).据广州海关统计，2025年广东省广州白云国际机场海关为出境旅客办理退税申请逾5万笔，退税金额累计超过4.96亿元人民币（合7130万美元）。The figures show year-on-year increases of 470 percent in the number of applications and 60 percent in the total refund amount.数据显示，申请数量同比增长470%，退税总额同比增长60%。At the tax refund counter of Terminal 1 at the Guangzhou airport, French traveler Mu Voungvui was recently seen completing his tax refund procedures. Holding up his refund slip, he said his trip to China had been highly rewarding.在广州白云机场1号航站楼的退税柜台前，近日有法国游客穆·旺维（Mu Voungvui）正在办理退税手续。他举起退税单表示，此次中国之行收获颇丰。"I bought a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 gimbal camera and the tax-refund process was very convenient," he said, adding that with a refund rate of 11 percent, he received 414.5 yuan as the tax refund.他表示：“我购买了DJI Osmo Pocket 3稳定器相机，退税流程非常便捷。”并补充道以11%的退税率计算，最终获得了414.5元人民币的退税款。Feng Ruilin, an official at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport Customs, said popular tax-refund purchases range from clothing, handbags and jewelry, to technology products such as small drones, sports cameras and smartphones.广州白云国际机场海关官员冯瑞琳（音译）表示，热门退税商品涵盖服装、手袋、珠宝首饰等，以及小型无人机、运动相机和智能手机等科技产品。The growth in departure tax-refunds comes amid broader efforts to upgrade China's consumption environment. Launched in April 2025, the "Shopping in China" initiative aims to create a more internationally friendly consumption landscape and enhance the country's appeal as a global consumption hub through measures such as streamlined visa procedures and improved departure tax-refund arrangements.离境退税业务的增长，正值中国全面提升消费环境之际。自2025年4月启动的“中国购物”计划，旨在通过简化签证手续、完善离境退税机制等措施，打造更具国际友善度的消费环境，增强中国作为全球消费枢纽的吸引力。Zhu Mingkuang, an official with the passenger inspection unit at Shanghai Pudong International Airport Customs, said that the continued optimization of departure tax-refund policies and upgrades to related services have played a key role in boosting inbound consumption.上海浦东国际机场海关旅客查验科官员朱明光（音译）表示，离境退税政策的持续优化和相关服务的升级，对促进入境消费起到了关键作用。Zhu noted that the reduction of the minimum purchase threshold from 500 yuan to 200 yuan in April last year has encouraged more foreign travelers to shop and claim tax refunds, leading to a sharp rise in business volumes.朱明光（音译）指出，去年4月将最低消费门槛从500元降至200元后，吸引更多外国游客购物并申请退税，导致业务量大幅增长。"Since October 2025, the volume of departure tax-refund transactions at Shanghai Pudong International Airport has consistently exceeded 1,000 applications per day on average," he said, adding that the momentum has continued into January of this year.自2025年10月以来，上海浦东国际机场离境退税业务量日均处理量持续保持在1000笔以上，这一势头延续至今年1月。Last year, Shanghai Customs verified 222,000 departure tax-refund items, soaring 130 percent year-on-year and accounting for half of the national total.去年，上海海关核验出境退税物品达22.2万件，同比增长130%，占全国总量的半数。Beyond improvements in tax-refund processing, local governments have also moved to strengthen supporting retail infrastructure. In Shanghai, the municipal government has guided the transformation and launch of downtown duty-free stores, injecting new momentum into the city's development as an international consumption hub and its tourism economy.除加快退税办理速度外，各地政府还着力完善零售配套设施。上海市通过引导市中心免税店转型升级，为打造国际消费中心城市和旅游经济注入新动能。In the Chinese capital, Beijing Customs verified a total of 64,000 departure tax-refund applications, marking a year-on-year increase of 317 percent in 2025.在首都北京，海关共核验出境退税申请6.4万份，2025年同比增幅达317%。The total value of refund claims reached 1.35 billion yuan, up 74 percent year-on-year and surpassing 1 billion yuan for the first time since the departure tax-refund policy was introduced a decade ago.退税申请总额达到13.5亿元，同比增长74%，这是自十年前实施离境退税政策以来首次突破10亿元大关。Pan Yuting, an official with the passenger inspection unit at Beijing Capital International Airport Customs, said that at the beginning of 2025, about 40 departure tax-refund applications were typically processed during a single day at Terminal 3. That figure rose to around 170 per day in mid-January of this year, representing a substantial increase compared with the same period last year.北京首都国际机场海关旅客查验科官员潘玉婷（音译）表示，2025年初，航站楼3号航站楼单日平均处理约40份离境退税申请。今年1月中旬，该数字已攀升至每日约170份，较去年同期显著增长。After purchasing a Louis Vuitton handbag valued at 19,820 yuan in Beijing and applying for a tax refund of 2,180 yuan on Jan 4 at Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital International Airport, Canadian traveler Davis Jordan said China's appeal to foreign visitors will continue to grow, as "tax-refund and duty-free services are highly cost-effective and make shopping here both attractive and worthwhile".加拿大游客戴维斯·乔丹（Davis Jordan）1月4日在北京首都国际机场3号航站楼购买了价值19820元的路易威登手袋，并申请退税2180元。他表示，中国的吸引力将持续增强，因为“退税和免税服务性价比极高，让购物既充满吸引力又物有所值”。threshold/ˈθreʃ.hoʊld/n.门槛gimbal/ˈɡɪm.bəl/n.万向吊架，恒平框架，常平架框

Business Coaching Secrets Episode 330 Recap In this episode, Karl Bryan and Road Dog dive deep into the hidden levers behind luxury branding for coaches, the power of the "illusion of scarcity," and the real-world tactics for building an elite personal brand and momentum. They unpack why so many coaches lose the "battle within," what actually works to attract high-end clients, why quality sleep is a business advantage, and concrete ways to overcome the self-promotion struggle. Authentic, actionable, and packed with direct advice, this episode is your roadmap for moving from stuck to standout in your coaching business. Key Topics Covered Luxury Branding and the Illusion of Scarcity Karl Bryan reveals why luxury brands like Rolex, Ferrari, and Louis Vuitton succeed—it's less about their logo and more about perceived scarcity and margins. Tangible tactics for coaches to position themselves as high-value, "hard-to-get" authorities, using the example of a busy calendar and limited client spots. Overcoming the Battle Within Karl Bryan shares mindset frameworks for winning the internal struggle (imposter syndrome, lack of focus) that derails coaches. Why changing your identity—not just your thoughts—is the foundation for lasting transformation. The Science of High Performance: Sleep, Energy & Routine Game-changing advice on tracking sleep and its direct impact on business results. How routines, environment, and sleep discipline make elite performance possible for coaches and clients alike. Building a Magnetic Personal Brand Why so many coaches struggle with self-promotion and the bio trap—and the surprising truth about what really builds trust and reputation online. Step-by-step guidance on creating daily content, showing value, and leveraging both AI and authenticity. Momentum, Discipline, and Consistency How to set activity-based targets (like 25 daily reach-outs) and detach from outcomes to build real momentum. The compounding power of relentless daily action and how skipping days destroys progress—using analogies from Michael Phelps, Tom Brady, and more. Notable Quotes "If you don't believe in your coaching, you won't transfer belief. You can't transfer what you don't already own." – Karl Bryan "You don't want your marketing to be Toyota in a Ferrari world. Illusion of scarcity is a superpower." – Karl Bryan "You can do anything, but you can't do everything. Define what you want—clarity is the cure for being stuck." – Karl Bryan "Sleep is probably the greatest investment you can make—in your life, in your business, everywhere." – Karl Bryan "Trust is built in moments, not your bio. The lurkers are the ones who buy." – Karl Bryan "The only thing harder than building a brand is trying to keep this podcast under 90 minutes." – Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways Create Scarcity in Your Practice: Limit the number of client spots, show a full calendar, and don't always be available. Position yourself as in demand—even before you're full. Be Activity-Driven: Set daily reach-out targets (like 25 per day). Track activities, not just results, and detach from what you can't control. Invest in Sleep: Build a consistent, high-quality sleep routine. Track your sleep depth and protect your energy as fiercely as your calendar. Build Authority Through Value Moments: Focus social content on authentic "aha" moments, stories, and real solutions instead of just credentials. Leverage AI Wisely: Use tools like ChatGPT to spark and structure social content, but always infuse your unique personality and experiences. Momentum Is Everything: Don't skip days. Small actions, consistently applied, create compounding results. Discipline is the difference-maker. Serve Before You Sell: Offer value openly in your market—through events, free calls, and actionable insights—before expecting a sale. Personal Brand Focus: Don't obsess over your bio or likes; serve, post, and show your expertise. The buyers ("lurkers") are watching. Resources Mentioned Profit Acceleration Software™ (developed by Karl Bryan) – Demonstrates instant value and ROI to prospects. Focus.com – Coaching resources, daily emails, and events. Sleeping Tools: Oura Ring (for tracking sleep and activity). AI Content Creation: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude—leverage AI for personalized, scalable content. Book: "The Art of War" (for mindset & strategy). Networking: Joint ventures, local live events, and online groups (but focus on being with business owners, not just other coaches).

In this episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the team dives headfirst into the watch media identity crisis sparked by Ariel's recent essay on who actually pays for honest coverage and why everyone seems to want it without footing the bill. The conversation then shifts into the uncomfortable reality of independence, sponsored content, and where the line gets drawn in a very small industry. From there, things take a sharp turn into horology with a deep discussion of a very serious watch that also happens to look suspiciously like Mickey Mouse. Ariel breaks down Breguet's high frequency chronograph history, magnetic escapement technology, and why the brand is simultaneously capable of brilliance and baffling aesthetic decisions.The episode then moves through the not quite LVMH Watch Week releases, including Louis Vuitton's Escale complications explosion, which quickly devolves into an on air world timer geography quiz no one was prepared for. Along the way, TAG Heuer's latest Seafarer revival sparks a spirited debate about tide complications and dog walking use cases, raising the question of whether modern watches sometimes try a little too hard. The group also touches on TAG's ongoing CEO turnover, broader brand direction questions, and why some watch companies appear to be having fun while others absolutely are not.As always, tune into their conversation this week to hear a blend of industry insight, watch nerdery, and exactly the kind of chaos that makes aBlogtoWatch Weekly feel less like a roundtable and more like group therapy with bezels.Check out this week's sponsor - Movado Watches:- https://www.movado.com/ To check out the ABTW Shop where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review!

We're barely three weeks into 2026, and things are off to a strong start. It used to be that we'd have to wait until Watches and Wonders to get the first proper wave of novelties. But LVMH has taken it upon itself to produce the first major round of releases early in the year. Today, on Fratello Talks, we're taking a look at some LVMH Watch Week highlights. Thomas, Daan, and Nacho are in the studio to talk through some of the major releases from Zenith, Hublot, Daniel Roth, Louis Vuitton, Gerald Genta, and more. 

On this week's episode of The Business of Watches, we wrangled some time with someone who was born into the world of the Swiss watch industry but who has taken an outsider's path to business success. Manuel Emch is the managing director of Louis Erard and also one-third of the radical upstart micro-brand Kollokium. We sat down last year, and Emch outlined his circuitous route and unique approach to building and selling watch brands. But first, Hodinkee Magazine's editorial director Malaika Crawford drops in to give her take on Louis Vuitton's latest novelties and La Fabrique du Temps with a behind-the-scenes look at the atelier and its skilled artisans and craftspersons. Plus–what is Rolex telling us with its latest group of Hollywood testimonees? Show Notes 1:35 LVMH Watch Week 2026 2:15 La Fabrique du Temps8:30 New Rolex Testimonees in 2025 11:00 Louis Erard 11:20 Kollokium 12:00 Grenchen, Switzerland13:26 HEC Lausanne16:00 Nick Hayek Sr. 18:19 Jaquet Droz (Hodinkee) 22:50 Jaquet Droz website 27:30 Romain Jerome  36:20 Louis Erard (Hodinkee) 45:20 Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein 54:00 MB&F 58:10 Swatch AI Dada 59:45 Kollokium (Hodinkee) 1:02:00 Kollokium short film 1:07:10 Tupperware 1:13:07 Louis Erard Regulator

Ever thought it might be possible to stay in Paris for 20 nights without paying rent? In this episode, Annie Sargent chats with Liz Van Montfort, a traveler who's cracked the code on home exchange—the savvy way to explore France (or anywhere!) without breaking the bank. Liz shares how she spent three weeks in a Parisian apartment during the Rugby World Cup using Guest Points, plus a night in a 17th-century Dijon hotel, all while avoiding Airbnb's pitfalls. Listen to this episode ad-free Liz breaks down the two types of home exchanges: reciprocal swaps (you stay in their home, they stay in yours) and Guest Points, a flexible system where you earn points by hosting others and spend them on stays worldwide. No fancy house required—Liz's Christchurch townhouse (complete with a communal pool!) has attracted exchanges from Sydney to Provence. She reveals how to prep your home, from welcome booklets to leaving local treats, and why guests often leave the place cleaner than they found it. But why ditch Airbnb? Liz's Barcelona nightmare—stranded with luggage after a last-minute cancellation—will make you think twice. Home exchange offers verified members, insurance, and backup plans if things go wrong. Annie adds that it's perfect for slow travelers, families, and anyone tired of tourist traps. You'll live like a local, with kitchens, laundries, and neighborhood cafés at your fingertips. After the chat, Annie dives into Paris 2026 updates: the Tour Triangle skyscraper, Louis Vuitton's Champs-Élysées hotel, and the Place de la Concorde's pedestrian makeover.

From diaspora dreams to Ghana reality: Why moving back to Africa requires business mindset over job-hunting mentality - and the brutal truth about traffic delays, expensive braiding salons, relationship relocations that fail, and the Year of Return blueprint that brought thousands home but left many unprepared for the cultural shocks, cost of living surprises, and informal economy opportunities that separate those who build legacy businesses from those who run back abroad when the fantasy collides with reality. In this raw episode of Konnected Minds, host Derrick Abaitey sits down with Ivy Prosper - former social media manager for Ghana's Year of Return secretariat and diaspora relocation expert - who dismantles the dangerous "Africa will be cheap and easy" fantasy keeping diasporans shocked when they arrive, the relationship-based relocation trap that sends people back when romance fails, and the subconscious seed-planting power of a single two-month visit at age 25 that can override New York fashion dreams and plant Ghana roots nine years deep. This isn't motivational pan-African talk from Instagram activists - it's a systematic breakdown of why the pressures of systemic racism make Black Americans emotionally crave "going home" to be with people who look like them, why Ghana is not a place to come looking for jobs because salaries won't match US/Canada pay scales, why local Ghanaians blame diasporans for rising rent and expensive hair braiding that used to be cheap, why people who moved back quickly in 2019 during Year of Return were running back to where they came from because they weren't prepared for Ghana's expensive reality, and why this is the place to build legacy businesses like Louis Vuitton (started by a homeless guy 150 years ago) - cashew exports, dried mango drinks, waist beads sold abroad, and farms that create generational wealth impossible to build in saturated Western markets. Critical revelations include: Why the pressures of systemic racism create an emotional pull to "go back to Africa" - you want to be home with your people, people who look like you, somewhere you feel you belong The job-hunting reality check: Ghana is not a place to come looking for a job - you can get a job, but most jobs won't pay the same as America or Canada Why local Ghanaians blame diasporans for cost of living increases: rent has gone up, hair braiding that used to be inexpensive is now expensive in some places, and locals point to diaspora influx as the cause The "Africa will be cheap" misconception: people think Africa will be easy and inexpensive, then get the wake-up call that Ghana is quite expensive, not as cheap as people think Why Year of Return 2019 relocators were moving back quickly: they went back to where they came from because either they were sold a dream or weren't prepared for the reality of moving back Why diasporans see opportunities locals don't: when you move to a new environment, you see things people there don't see - it's no big deal to them, but it's a business opportunity to you The informality advantage: Ghana's relationship-based, informal systems make it easier to just start doing something without as much red tape as Western countries where councils shut down home businesses for regulations Why 80% of people coming to Ghana think of business: they see the opportunity to start easier than somewhere else, without Western regulatory barriers that kill informal entrepreneurship Guest: Ivy Prosper - Former Social Media Manager, Year of Return Secretariat (Ghana Tourism Authority) Host: Derrick Abaitey

In this episode of TechMagic, hosts Cathy Hackl and Lee Kebler return from a holiday break to unpack the most important ideas and innovations from CES 2026.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog kick off the new year by diving deep into the psychology of compounding success, handling client loss, building an irresistible brand, and the surprising power of stopping your worst habits before adding new ones. Packed with frameworks, mindsets, and strategies for scaling coaching businesses, this conversation sets a foundation for meaningful, profitable growth in 2026 and beyond. Key Topics Covered The Psychology of Compounding Karl Bryan explains how real progress in both business and personal growth follows a compounding curve—boring and slow for most of the journey, before results skyrocket. He compares doubling a penny every day to the patient grind of building new habits, networking, and acquiring skills. Managing Client Loss & Turning Pain into Fuel Drawing from personal experience, Karl reframes lost clients as vital awakenings for a coach's development, not failures. He likens the evolution to relationships, urging coaches to "build into someone no client would want to leave," reject desperation, and approach setbacks as chances to upgrade purpose and mastery. Status, Energy, and Luxury Branding in Coaching Karl discusses how "vibe" and energy—like a seasoned waiter in a top restaurant—create attraction and authority in client relationships. Coaches who hold themselves with confidence (not arrogance) and employ purposeful energy are respected, sought after, and able to retain clients long-term. Exclusivity, Scarcity & Storytelling Luxury brands like Gucci and Ferrari don't just charge more—they mean more. Karl reveals how controlled scarcity, storytelling, and identity shift the coaching value proposition from transactional to transformational. Rather than being "liked by everyone," coaches and clients win by being respected and building a brand people want to join. Zen Master Insights for Happiness & Productivity Karl shares Arthur Brooks' 4 rules for happiness and adds his own: "learning." He warns about the "death loop" of social media comparison, the dangers of technical work without meaning, and the need for deeper faith, family, genuine friendships, and personal growth. The Power of Eliminating Worst Habits First Instead of piling on new habits, Karl encourages coaches to ruthlessly cut out the most sabotaging activities—doom scrolling, excessive TV, video games, etc.—and channel freed-up energy into productive tasks. Focus is achieved more through removing distractions than forcing attention. Notable Quotes "The problem with compounding is it's not till day 25 that there's any excitement. The numbers are tiny and lame till everything takes off." "[When you lose a client], it's not the time to cry in your Cheerios—It's an awakening more than anything else." "Neediness is your enemy. Walk in like you own the place, not like you want to buy it." "Luxury branding isn't about charging more—it's about meaning more." "Focus is eliminating distractions more than it is focusing. No is a decision, yes is a responsibility." "Comparison is the thief of joy. Social media... is a death loop for happiness." Actionable Takeaways Play the Long Game With Compounding: Stick with new disciplines far past the "boring" stage; results will spike after consistency and patience. Transform Setbacks Into Upgrades: When clients leave, treat it as a wake-up call to elevate skills, boundaries, and purpose—don't focus on loss, focus on mastery. Embodied Confidence Wins Clients: Present yourself with purposeful energy and professional vibe—confidence, not arrogance, is magnetic to prospects. Engineer Scarcity & Story: Position your coaching as exclusive; tell a bigger brand story that clients aspire to join. Scarcity creates clarity and demand. Eliminate (Not Add) For Focus: List your worst habits and cut one immediately. Use freed-up time for learning, networking, or strategic work. Protect Your Mindset: Consciously avoid social media comparison and schedule time for real relationships, faith, and continual self-education.

For our first SheerLuxe Podcast of 2026, Charlotte Collins is joined by Billie Bhatia and Jenn George for a cosy, chatty catch-up covering everything you need for January – from the best sale buys and cold-weather beauty heroes to must-watch TV and the travel plans already in the diary. Expect plenty of shopping intel (including Billie's Bicester Village haul and Charlotte's mega Frankie Shop jacket), winter beauty SOS for dry skin, lips and hair shedding, plus what the team's been bingeing over the break – ‘The Night Manager', ‘Shrinking' and the very steamy ‘Heated Rivalry'. There's also Hot Topic chat on Timothée and Kylie's orange era, Este Haim's Louis Vuitton wedding dress and where everyone's heading in 2026 – Lapland, a South Africa safari, Ibiza/Formentera, skiing and Jenn's wellness reset at Clinique La Prairie – before the trio tackles your dilemmas, from awkward work requests to relationship excitement and how to stop measuring success performatively online. Tell us in the comments: what did you buy in the sales, whether you prefer drip-fed episodes or boxset drops and should we all be watching ‘Heated Rivalry'?

Most people see Anna Sitar as a creator. Fewer people know she's quietly stacking endurance goals, like marathons, long training blocks, and now Ironman-level ambitions, to show what happens when you commit to something long enough for it to change how you think, work and live. Anna is a content creator and influencer known for her lifestyle vlogs, relatable content and warm and engaging personality.Her dynamic “I Don't Want It” TikTok series has propelled her to incredible media heights; she has over 11 million followers on TikTik and over 1.5 million on Instagram.Anna is a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate from Western Michigan University. She moved to Los Angeles in 2019 to pursue her master's, and it ultimately fueled her career as a content creator. Anna is the founder and creator of the A N X N A clothing brand, and has worked with companies like Dior, Louis Vuitton, Delta, Amazon and Google. She is also slowly building up her endurance athlete profile these past few years: she recently completed the New York City Marathon after running the Honolulu Marathon in 2024. According to recent activity, she is training for an ironman, working to become a more well-rounded long distance athlete. Because of that, Anna's story is a reminder that running doesn't have to be about times or podiums to be meaningful. Sometimes it's just a place to test who you're becoming next.Tap into the Anna Sitar Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

Send me a messageWhat if sustainability didn't rely on good intentions, ESG reports, or awareness campaigns… but on incentives that actually change behaviour?In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I'm joined by Sunny Lu, Founder and CEO of VeChain, to unpack how blockchain can move sustainability from theory into action across global supply chains and everyday decisions.Sunny has been building in blockchain since 2015, long before the hype cycles, starting with enterprise traceability work at Louis Vuitton and going on to create VeChain as a platform focused on real-world adoption. At a time when supply chains are under pressure to deliver resilience, transparency, and credible sustainability outcomes, this conversation gets very practical, very quickly.You'll hear how VeChain uses verified data, tokens, and gamification to incentivise positive actions, from EV charging and reusable cups to food traceability and waste reduction. We break down why demand, not technology, is often the real bottleneck holding sustainable supply chains back, and how aligning individuals, enterprises, and incentives can unlock scale. You might be surprised to learn how blockchain has already helped cut food traceability times from hours to seconds, or how millions of small, verified actions can add up to meaningful carbon, water, and plastic reductions.This isn't a conversation about crypto speculation. It's about trust, data, visibility, and designing systems that make the right choice the easy, economically rational one.

In this sparkling, soulful episode of Undressed with Pol' and Patrik, the fabulous duo welcome the radiant entrepreneur Allyse Cirillo, founder and CEO of St. Joe — a plant-based skincare brand born from heritage, heart, and hustle. From the moment she joins the New York studio, Pol' and Patrik can't stop gushing over her glowing skin and confident vibe. As the convo unfolds, Allyse opens up about naming her brand St. Jo in honor of her grandmothers (both named Josephine!) and the deep spiritual connection she felt when building something that would carry their legacy. ✨ The Glow-Up Story She shares her personal transformation, including a natural 85-pound weight loss — achieved not through shortcuts, but by embracing a back-to-basics approach: clean eating, movement, and mindset. The decision was rooted in a deep emotional turning point after years of corporate burnout and feeling disconnected from her purpose. With her husband by her side (and yes, he's “tall, dark, and handsome”), she made the leap from a 15-year corporate career into creating St. Jo, a line of skincare and wellness products that nourish from the inside out.
