This week, Apple executives used the keynote address of the company's annual developers conference to debut all of the artificial intelligence capabilities that are coming to iPhones, iPads, and Macs. The team showed off how generative tools will help users write emails, clean up iPhone photos, illustrate presentations, and make custom emoji characters. Adding AI to everything is par for the course in 2024, as all of the big tech companies have been loading up their software with similar generative features. But Apple is late to this particular party. The company has been perceived as being “behind” in generative AI, since OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and a whole bunch of startups have already made massive inroads. But is Apple really behind? And what makes Apple's AI—cheekily named Apple Intelligence—different?This week, we welcome WIRED senior writer Will Knight back onto the show to talk about Apple Intelligence, the new Siri, and how Apple is trying to differentiate itself in the AI race.Show Notes:Read Will's new story about Apple Intelligence's launch, and his news analysis piece on how Apple will need to make sure its AI doesn't disappoint, annoy, or offend iPhone users. Read Boone Ashworth's roundup of everything Apple announced at WWDC. Lauren tells us why Apple's AI play is also its best shot at getting you to upgrade your iPhone. Julian Chokkattu has a comprehensive overview of all the AI features coming to iOS. Read all of our WWDC coverage.Recommendations:Will recommends the AutoGen multi-agent conversational framework.

As she built her brand, she was also growing her family, and her big career moments and her big parenting moments always seemed to align. On this episode, we spoke with Ashley about the misconceptions that being a parent is just a part time job, why we need to speak up about childcare support, and how she's shifted her career as her children have gotten older.  In this episode, Ashley shares:  Why we need to adjust our expectations about being a working parent How she made the decision to hire a CEO for Lunya  What it was like to run two businesses during COVID Why the flexibility of entrepreneurship isn't always a good thing 

On today's episode, Erik sits down with the CEO of Lunya, Ashley Merrill. Founded in Santa Monica in 2012, Lunya specializes in luxurious and minimalistic sleepwear for women. Merrill is reinventing sleepwear for modern women and now men. Erik and Merrill discuss Lunya's purpose, the importance of building a good team, why you should say yes to every connection, the benefits of imagining your customer specifically, the advantages of slow growth, and much more.   Ashley is also the Chairwoman of Outdoor Voices, founder of Lahgo, and her newest project, the Deep, a media platform that makes philosophy and personal exploration accessible through thought-provoking questions.   5x #1 Bestselling Author and Motivational Speaker Erik Qualman has performed in over 55 countries and reached over 50 million people this past decade.

In today's episode, we introduce you to a man called Fletcher, who is in a romantic relationship with Lethabo. At the same time, Lethabo, who is bisexual, is also going out with a woman called Lunya. But then, Lunya and Fletcher are also seeing each other. Basically, the three are openly involved in the same relationship. This is known as polyamory. It's the practice of engaging in multiple relationships, with the consent of all the people involved. Polyamorous communities in South Africa meet on online platforms. Even though they are frowned upon in some circles, they regularly host events attended by dozens of people in cities like Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town. Alan Kasujja speaks to Lethabo, Fletcher and Lunya to understand how polyamory works, especially considering that there's a toddler in their relationship.

In this episode, we talk "California Casual" with founder Ashley Merrill about her entrepreneurial journey starting Lunya, the popular and comfortable restwear clothing and lifestyle brand based in Southern California.

Ashley Merrill has always felt the urge to pursue as many things as she can during this lifetime. It was the perfect opportunity, then, to try a new venture when she realized she was relying on her husband's old t-shirts as her go-to during down time. Wanting something more stylish, comfortable, and a reflection of the contemporary woman she is, Ashley founded Lunya, the “restwear” brand whose ethos maintains that the quiet moments to yourself are the most important part of the day. A natural problem-solver, Ashley has always seen opportunities instead of issues, and eagerly allows her role evolve as the company grows. She is busy and ambitious, to be sure, but always prioritizes adequate rest in order to be the best at what she does! Thanks for listening!

As a bestselling author and host of a beloved podcast, Terrible, Thanks for Asking, Nora McInerny has captured the hearts of millions by discussing grief and loss with wit and warmth. Now, with her new book BAD VIBES ONLY (And Other Things I Bring to the Table); she turns her eye on our aggressively, oppressively optimistic culture, our obsession with self-improvement, and what it really means to live our lives online.

We meet the people that challenge, question, and make Nora reflect on her own life, habits, and personality: her children, and their homework meltdowns, job searches, and online personalities; her college friend Kathleen, who now lives as a cloistered nun; and her uncle, a philosopher who has never used the internet (gasp!). Nora celebrates the joys and challenges of a blended family, and the surprises brought to bear by her approaching “early” middle age. BAD VIBES ONLY is not only a response to a society that tells us to live, laugh, and love—it's a reminder that in a world where we are more connected to and observed by our peers than ever before, we still deserve the freedom to be ourselves. Nora McInerny was voted Most Humorous by the Annunciation Catholic School Class of 1997. Since then, she's written the bestselling memoirs It's Okay to Laugh (Crying Is Cool Too) and No Happy Endings, as well as The Hot Young Widows Club and Bad Moms. She hosts the award-winning podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking, has spoken on TED's mainstage, and has contributed to publications like The New York Times, Time, Slate, and Vox. She is very tall.

In today's world of synthetic pharmaceuticals, scientists and laypeople alike have lost a connection to the natural world. But in ignoring the potential of medicinal plants, we lose out on the opportunity to discover potentially life-saving medicines. In this episode, ethnobotanist Dr. Cassandra Quave discusses her groundbreaking work at Emory which backs up the argument in her new book, THE PLANT HUNTER: that the key to preventing another global health crisis could very likely be in plants and not synthetic compounds.

As a person born with multiple congenital defects of her skeletal system, Quave had to have her right leg amputated at 3 years old. She spent so much time in the hospital as a child that she ended up falling in love with medicine and grew up volunteering in the ER, when other kids her age were at football games or school dances. Since then her research has brought her to the forests of the remote Amazon, the murky swamps of southern Florida, isolated mountaintops in Albania and Kosovo, and volcanic isles of the Mediterranean, often with children in tow. THE PLANT HUNTER weaves together Quave's personal experiences with medicine, infection, disability, scientific discovery and the experience of being a woman and mother of three in a male-dominated field with a fascinating description of how plantsand microbes interact, how antibiotic resistance evolves, and how Quave is working to figure out how we may be able to overcome it by taking the focus away from synthetic compounds.      

As a mother of a child with ADHD, author and Board-Certified Holistic Health and Nutrition Practitioner Dana Kay knows firsthand the struggles that come with parenting a neurodiverse child. She also knows the freedom that is possible once parents learn to reduce ADHD symptoms. In this episode Dana shares shares her personal journey of parenting a child with ADHD, as well as her unique and proven strategies for reducing symptoms naturally. More than 6 million children in the United States have been diagnosed with ADHD with more than 60% of those children solely relying on medication for treatment. Following her son's diagnosis, Dana did what many parents do: began her son on medication. Unfortunately, while helping her son focus, the medication also led to increased anxiety, weight loss, and sleepless nights. Eventually, the side effects became too big to ignore. Leaning on her training in holistic health and nutrition and all of the research she could find, she and her family changed course to an all-natural approach that has enabled her son to thrive. Dana's son is now in middle school, he is happy and thriving and has not been on medication for years.

I am thrilled to share my journey with how my passion project on social media turned into getting opportunities to work with fashion and skincare brands like Express, Olive and June, Lunya, and The Saree Room as a monetizing digital content creator. There's so much room for South Asian representation in this space, and I hope my story will inspire you to be the change you wish to see in the world.

Today Allee did not come to PLAY on this episode and dropped FIRE for all our entrepreneurs on all things marketing here today. We start with a 10,000-foot view perspective. Allee gives us one of the most pinpointed and easy-to-understand definitions of marketing that will probably make your jaw drop and a million ideas explode in your brain on what to do in your business. She then discusses some of the biggest mistakes she sees entrepreneurs making in their marketing (and how to avoid or fix them in your own business!).    As if that weren't enough, we then dove even deeper and more tactical by walking through how to know exactly where to focus your time and energy in your marketing right now. Because let's be real, there are a million and one opportunities or “must do” options facing you today… so how do you narrow those down and focus on what's right for you, your business, and your customers.   Allee gives tangible steps on how product shop owners can handle customers abandoning carts, and how service-based owners can stop getting ghosted. She also covered identifying your ideal customer so you know EXACTLY who you're talking to, and so much more. It's seriously so packed it's unreal.   Plus the last like 10 minutes we asked Allee what the best and worse parts of working for us are and….. There's tea spilled. It's hysterical.   Show notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/266-breaking-down-marketing-to-build-a-wildly-successful-business-with-allee-cyrus Lightroom Editing Challenge: www.theheartuniversity.com/challenge   Lunya: www.lunya.co Use code HEART20 for 20% off!   Episode 113 A Game Plan for Life by John Wooden    Follow along with Allee:  www.rightupyourallee.com www.malibumedia.co Right Up Your Allee Show

Listen now! Highlights: Ask yourself these questions if you think you might be approaching burnout. The key difference between resting + recharging.

One of the questions we ask almost every guest on this show is “What is the biggest lesson you've learned in business?” We ask that question because we are big believers in learning from other incredible entrepreneurs and humans chasing their dreams and making moves in their life and business. Today we decided to flip the mic around and point it at you…. our listeners and Heart family.   At The Heart Conference earlier this year we had a bunch of attendees sit down and share each of THEIR biggest lessons they've personally learned in their business.   And boy…. ya'll brought the fire. You're about to get smacked with powerful mindset wisdom, and tangible takeaways you can use in building your business and life, there's even a book recommendation in there, and one of the answers made us cry. Straight up. It's goooood.    We LOVED getting the opportunity at the conference to just point the mic at YOU and let YOU tell US what your biggest takeaway you've learned in business has been.    Show notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/263-listeners-answer-whats-the-biggest-lesson-youve-learned-in-business   Lunya: www.lunya.co Use code HEART20 for 20% off!   Better Help: www.betterhelp.com/heartandhustle Save 10% off your first month with Better Help!    The Heart Shop Contracts: www.theheartuniversity.com/shop   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity

Episode 166: For ambitious and career-oriented people, starting one's own business is often the ultimate goal. But today's guest Ashley Merrill, founder of Lunya Sleepwear, chats with Natalie about how this can be a detriment to many people's happiness and success. Ashley started Lunya 10 years ago and has built the company to its now $25M per year revenue, numerous accolades, and countless super fans, but she explains why being a founder should not be anyone's automatic goal, and instead why we should all look deeper on what brings us joy in our work and our lives.     Today's episode dives into:  Finding balance over the course of your life instead of in a moment - there are seasons for work and seasons for play  The misconceptions of what a CEO actually does  Why the timing of a business is everything when it comes to approach and strategy   The resilience and determination needed to get started as an entrepreneur   Why you shouldn't necessarily want to be a founder and how to find the best path for your own life and happiness  Thank you so much for being a part of our podcast community!

Ashley recalls the intrinsic motivation and ambition that pushed her along her path as she left law and culinary in the past and hustled her way into the world of venture capital trading income for experience.

As hours pass, pay attention to the way the light shifts. Notice how the afternoon sun fades into dusk. Another night has arrived: How was your day? How do you feel? And perhaps more importantly, how will you rest and replenish? These questions drive the work of creative entrepreneur Ashley Merrill.  Over the years, her company Lunya has grown into a category-defining sleepwear brand at the intersection of wellness, design, and, as Ashley puts it, “creative problem-solving.” But for Ashley, achieving success means nothing without building a business—and living a life—fueled by intention. In this interview, Ashley shared more about the relationship between creativity and pace, the complicated notion of balance, how she views slow storytelling, and how dreams show up in her daily life. This episode also opens with a story by Bryn Taylor of Ouisa Clothing.

Lunya CEO and Founder Ashley Merrill and Jenna discuss how Ashley relies on the mantra - ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world' - as a framework to guide her life. We unpack the metaphor that entrepreneurship is like bowling and trace Lunya's evolution from Googling ‘How do you make clothes?' to pioneering the modern sleepwear category and launching their latest collection, COOL. We spend the majority of our time together walking through key lessons on building our risk-taking muscle, the importance of showing up for yourself, and our ongoing experience of developing and strengthening our sense of self.

Once upon a time, a young woman found herself starting back at her reflection wearing a pair of her husband’s boxers and a baggy tee. And she wondered, “Is this really it?” My loves, meet Ashley Merrill, the CEO and founder of Lunya, where she’s redefining what sleepwear looks and feels like for the modern woman (perhaps not just settling for baggy boxers and tees?). All within a two month window, Ashley started business school, got pregnant, and decided to start a business.
