Podcasts about Mad Men

Charlie Sheen joins Bill Maher for an off-the-rails, hilarious, and unexpectedly heartfelt ride through fame, fallout, and second (and third... and fourth) chances. From his stolen Mercedes getting pushed off a cliff to carving Christmas prime rib in jail, Charlie's stories are pure Sheen – wild, funny, and shockingly sincere. The two trade tales about Martin Sheen's legacy, Gary Busey's chaos, UFOs, baseball luck, and Mad Men fandom – and Bill drops a philosophy he learned from Charlie: “When you're ready to leave a restaurant, just put the cash down and go. I call it Sheening it.” Subscribe to the Club Random YouTube channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/clubrandompodcast?sub_confirmation=1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Watch episodes ad-free – subscribe to Bill Maher's Substack: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://billmaher.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to the podcast for free wherever you listen: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/ClubRandom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Support our Advertisers: Go to https://www.radioactivemedia.com or text RANDOM to 511511 Get 50% off your first box plus free breakfast for 1 year at https://www.factormeals.com/random50off Get 25% off your first purchase and free shipping at https://www.wonderballsusa.com and use code RANDOM Buy Club Random Merch: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://clubrandom.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

From carbon credit swag bags to fake green audits, this latest collapse shows what happens when virtue signaling replaces due diligence.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____Kiersten Lyons spent most of her life being told she was too much. Too loud, too dramatic, too many feelings all at once. She was also told she wasn't enough. Not pretty enough, not the right fit, not what Hollywood was looking for. The dichotomy nearly broke her. But it also became the foundation of her story.As a working actress in LA for over a decade, with recurring roles on Grey's Anatomy and Mad Men, Kiersten kept hearing the same feedback: "You're great, we just don't know what to do with you." So she created her own work, writing and starring in her award-winning one-woman show Crushed. It was supposed to become a TV series. Then the producer ghosted her. At 42, while advocating for her son's ADHD evaluation, she finally got her own diagnosis and suddenly all those years of rejection, of being "too much" and "not enough," made sense. She understood why she could memorize all 50 states in under 20 seconds to impress boys (it didn't work), why she felt everything so intensely, and why masking had left her exhausted for decades.Her debut memoir Crushed: The Boys That Never Liked Me Back opens with her fiancé confessing he didn't love her and had cheated at The Magic Castle while she was addressing their wedding invitations. Six months later, he won $100,000 on reality TV. Her life unraveled publicly, but the book isn't about revenge. It's about reclaiming yourself when everything falls apart. In this conversation, Kiersten and Tracy explore pattern recognition, rejection sensitivity, and why so many creative women with ADHD end up in industries that require constant validation. They talk about the loneliness of being the eldest daughter who takes care of everyone, the grief of late diagnosis, and why acceptance, not positivity, is what allows us to heal.Resources:Website: https://www.kierstenlyons.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kierstenlyonsroarTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kiersSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

What I like about Substack is that its algorithm doesn't feed me things that will only make me angry — unlike some other social-media platforms, where you should totally be following me. If I'm not angering you here — I most definitely will over there. So I have the Sub coders to thank for feeding me Jason Noto. On this episode of The Lou Perez Podcast, I talk with the filmmaker about getting audiences back into movie theaters, the trauma of producing a feature film only to watch it drown in the slipstream(ing), and what it's like to have worked with Timothée Chalamet (“Timmy” to Jason) and Elisabeth Moss before their careers blew up. You can watch the pre-Mad Men, pre-Handmaid's Tale, Moss in Noto's El Camino (full movie on YouTube) and his latest feature film, Beyond the Night on Amazon.

Freedom is often considered the cornerstone of the American political project. The 1776 revolutionaries declared it an inalienable right that could neither be taken nor granted, a sacred concept upon which the nation was established. The concept and actualization of freedom are also to be defended by the state. However, when such a concept has been arrogated, litigated, and delegitimized by a state that ignores its very definition, the concept of freedom comes under critical examination. Political theorist Elisabeth R. Anker, Associate Professor of American Studies and Political Science at George Washington University, has a new book dissecting the core of this conception of freedom. Ugly Freedoms (Duke UP, 2022) explores who defined and continues to define freedom, she also examines freedom's rhetorical capacity, and thus its potential for weaponization. Anker illuminates how the tainted gestation of freedom birthed a status quo based on the individualistic and conditional conception of ‘freedom' that has long been tangoing with white supremacy, colonialism, climate destruction, capitalism, and exploitation. Such a dance is by design and has been constant throughout U.S. history. Anker establishes that for democratic government to take hold in the United States, racial domination and violence transpired, limiting the freedoms of some individuals in order to establish a governmental system that is based, in theory, on protecting liberty and freedom. This is the kind of tension that Anker explains as “ugly freedom.” Thus, American freedom, our freedom, has embedded in it the role of colonialism, imperialism, enslavement, and land theft. The shocking stains of slavery produced freedom of prosperity and leisure for white people through direct dehumanization of Black and Brown people—this is what Anker is talking about within the concept of ugly freedom. This has also been manifested through more contemporary rhetoric regarding imperial wars like those in the Philippines, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq, destroying infrastructure and lives in those countries for the capital prosperity of the imperial core. These ugly freedoms legitimize the economic exploitation of the masses in the name of individual success for the few. Thus, ugly freedom examines the acts of freedom that rely on violence and brutality—this challenges how we often imagine freedom to be. Ugly Freedom explores the connection between politics and aesthetics as well, taking up an array of historical events, political theories and concepts, different forms of art, televisual productions, poetry, music, and biology to illustrate the compounding violence of the few in the name of freedom. The cultural artifacts interrogated were controversial in their own right, and Anker explores them to help understand which kinds of freedom are worth fighting for and which kinds of freedom must be fought against. Through a critical lens, Anker shifts the perception of freedom to help restore justice to its foundational value—one that is less dependent on the individual or individual heroics, and more enveloping of the community and shared collaboration.

Author Ashley Jordan joins Book Gang to share her LitUp Fellowship journey to launch her debut, Once Upon a Time in Dollywood, and how fanfiction paved her path.Ashley Jordan, a Reese's Book Club LitUp Fellow, joins us this week to share the story behind her sparkling debut Once Upon a Time in Dollywood—a romance that pairs laugh-out-loud humor with deeply emotional storytelling.In this light conversation, we discuss:

Scrutiny of the figure of the “trad wife” has hit a fever pitch. These influencers' accounts feature kempt, feminine women embracing hyper-traditional roles in marriage and home-making—and, in doing so, garnering millions of followers. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss standout practitioners of the “trad” life style, including Nara Smith, who makes cereal and toothpaste from scratch, and Hannah Neeleman, who, posting under the handle @ballerinafarm, presents a life caring for eight children in rural Utah as a bucolic fantasy. The hosts also discuss “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” a reality-television show on Hulu about a group of Mormon influencers engulfed in scandal, whose notions of female empowerment read as a quaint reversal of the trad-wife trend. A common defense of a life style that some would call regressive is that it's a personal choice, devoid of political meaning. But this gloss is complicated by societal changes such as the erosion of women's rights in America and skyrocketing child-care costs. “In American society, the way choice works has everything to do with child-care options, financial options,” Schwartz says. “When you talk about the idea of choice, are we just talking about false choices?” This episode originally aired on Sept. 5, 2024. Read, watch, and listen with the critics:@ballerinafarm@gwenthemilkmaid@naraazizasmith“How Lucky Blue and Nara Aziza Smith Made Viral Internet Fame From Scratch,” by Carrie Battan (GQ)“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” (2024–)@esteecwilliams“Mad Men” (2007-15)The Little House on the Prairie series, by Laura Ingalls Wilder“Wilder Women,” by Judith Thurman (The New Yorker)“Meet the Queen of the “Trad Wives” (and Her Eight Children),” by Megan Agnew (The Times of London) New episodes drop every Thursday.

This 1981 Acorn Deck House got its start as the model home for Central Texas in an effort to expand the Massachusetts-based company's modular home business. Although the home featured an abundance of rich textures, expansive windows/doors, and a spacious layout, it felt dated and never fully embraced its tree-lined site and downtown views.Four homeowners later, the home now goes by the name of The Sterling Cooper Residence as an homage to AMC's show ‘Mad Men' and its quintessential mid-century-cool vibe, and as a way to guide the aesthetic aspirations of the two-part remodel/addition.Phase 1, completed in 2017, focused on remodeling the interior by opening spaces, expanding the kitchen, reimagining a secondary family room, and modernizing and brightening the material palette.Phase 2, completed in 2024, concentrated on enriching the connections of the home to its site by adding a series of exterior spaces, a floating architectural stair, and an infinity pool that juts out into the valley.The final product is a careful balance of deck house influence and modern expression in a home that invites visitors to stay for a cocktail or two.

Greg Alba & Andrew Gordon dive into Us (2019), the critically acclaimed horror film written and directed by Jordan Peele (Get Out, Nope). A chilling exploration of duality, privilege, and hidden societal truths, Us follows Adelaide Wilson, played by Lupita Nyong'o (Black Panther, 12 Years a Slave), as she takes her family on a beach vacation only to be confronted by terrifying doppelgängers known as the “Tethered.” Alongside Nyong'o, the cast includes Winston Duke (Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War) as her husband Gabe, Shahadi Wright Joseph (The Lion King 2019, Hairspray Live!) as daughter Zora, and Evan Alex (Mani) as son Jason. The film also features standout performances from Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid's Tale, Mad Men) and Tim Heidecker (Tim & Eric Awesome Show), whose chilling turns highlight Peele's ability to blend suburban normalcy with pure terror. From the unforgettable opening scenes at the Santa Cruz boardwalk to the haunting “Hands Across America” imagery and the now-iconic reveal of Red (Nyong'o's Tethered double) with her eerie, rasping voice, Us has become one of the most analyzed and highly searched horror films of the past decade. In this full reaction & review, Greg and Andrew break down Peele's masterful use of symbolism, the shocking home invasion sequences, the underground world of the Tethered, and the legendary final twist that redefined how audiences see Adelaide's story. Whether it's the chilling “Good Vibrations” sequence, the scissor imagery, or Nyong'o's tour-de-force dual performance, Us remains a milestone in modern horror cinema.

Manchmal tut es gut, in Erinnerungen zu schwelgen. Diese Podcast-Episode ist der ultimative Nostalgie-Trip für alle Serienjunkies, denn wir sprechen über die große Frage: Was sind die besten Serien aller Zeiten? Oder etwas konkreter: Welche Serien haben das Golden Age of Television definiert? Sind serientechnisch die besten Tage schon vorbei, wenn “The Sopranos”, “Mad Men” und “Breaking Bad” bereits gelaufen sind? Und wie sieht die Zukunft aus, wann kommt das Golden Age of Streaming?Als Grundlage des Gesprächs dient Hanna und Bjarne die Auswahl des US-Serienkritikers Alan Sepinwall, der mit Büchern wie “The Revolution Was Televised” oder “TV (The Book)” und seinen tollen Reviews weltweit bekannt geworden ist. Zu unserem Unverständnis hat der Rolling Stone Sepinwall kürzlich entlassen, was uns wieder an ihn denken ließ. Seine lesenswerten Artikel gibt es aber auch beim Serien-Blog https://alansepinwall.ghost.io/ weiterhin zum Abruf.

Don’s fever breaks, but not before Mad Men delivers one of its most surreal and polarizing hours to date. On this episode of Mad Men Men, Jon Negroni, Will Ashton, and Mike Overhulse react to Season 5, Episode 4, “Mystery Date,” directed by Matt Shakman (WandaVision and Fantastic Four: First Steps) and co-written by Victor Levin and Matthew Weiner. We break down the episode’s Lynchian detour into Don’s subconscious, the true-crime parallels to the Richard Speck murders, and whether the Joan and Greg subplot belongs in this episode at all. Plus, we dive into Peggy’s fraught night with Dawn and Sally’s loss of innocence. In case you’re new here, Mad Men Men recaps Mad Men through the perspectives of three different types of viewers: a first-timer, a first-time rewatcher, and someone who thought the best way to deal with their feelings about Don Draper was to start a podcast. EXTRA CREDITS Matthew Weiner created Mad Men, which aired on AMC from 2007 to 2015. The show stars Jon Hamm, January Jones, Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Robert Morse, and many more. Our intro music is “Mad Men Men” by Tom Davidson, which is an original remix of the show’s opening theme “A Beautiful Mine” by RJD2. Podcast illustration is by Jon Negroni. Our podcast hosts include Jon Negroni (Podcast Editor of InBetweenDrafts), Will Ashton (cohost of the Cinemaholics podcast), and Michael Overhulse (a guy who’s addicted to working at startups).

In this episode, Ryan enjoys some ignorance as bliss since he missed Nashville SC's most recent heartbreak against Orlando.  Jon and Evan fill him in on the details, including a befuddling choice for the midfield lineup, a poorly timed injury for one of our defenders and the complete lack of depth at center back.  But there's plenty to celebrate, too, as the boys cheer on a terrific victory in the US Open Cup semifinal led by Super Sam Surridge.  The boys also share some love for perhaps the greatest show in television history, Mad Men, as well as celebrate the 40th anniversary of the incredible charity and musical event, Farm Aid.  And when it comes down to it, the boys are beginning to lose hope around this team's chances in the MLS playoffs, and they're also betting that it's past time to make a switch at goal.  But after all that, they still have some positive predictions about the upcoming game versus Houston.  And they drink beer.

We have a fantastic episode for you. My guest is screenwriter, producer, and standup comedian Patricia Resnick, best known as the writer of the iconic film “9 to 5” and the author of the book for “9 to 5: the Musical.” Patricia Resnick was also involved in writing and producing on TV's “Mad Men” and “Better Things,” among many other projects.

Jon Hamm steps behind the camera for Mad Men Season 5, Episode 3, “Tea Leaves” and the results are…complicated! On this episode of Mad Men Men, Jon Negroni, Will Ashton, and Mike Overhulse react to Betty’s triumphant return. They also talk Peggy’s new hire Michael Ginsberg and Harry Crane continuing to be the worst man alive. We break down the real-life inspiration behind Betty’s storyline (and January Jones’ pregnancy), debate the effectiveness of Jon Hamm’s directorial debut, and explore how the show tackles themes of youth culture, generational anxiety, and desperate rebranding (looking at you, Roger).

Walter Jacobs was an automotive geek. From the assembly line to owning a Ford dealership to Rental Car King. Walter built and Empire. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast. Teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Simple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is ... Well, it's us. But we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients, so here's one of those. [Travis Crawford Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here alongside Stephen Semple, and we're talking about empires. We're talking about big businesses that started out as usually smaller businesses. None of them ever start big, Stephen, when are we going to talk about businesses that just started huge? Stephen Semple: I don't know that they're as interesting, Dave Young: But today we're talking about Hertz Rental Car. Stephen Semple: Yes. Hertz Rental Car. Dave Young: And in my mind, they've always been the big one. They're the big guy. They're the top dog. Stephen Semple: Well, actually in the market today they're number two. Enterprise is the largest one, and they're number two, and then Avis is number three. Dave Young: But the Enterprise combined ... They conglomerated a bunch of them, right? Stephen Semple: Yeah. And there's even a few that are under Hertz as well these days. None of them are just one banner anymore. Dave Young: Yeah. Everything's becoming one brand. Stephen Semple: They're big. They do over nine billion in revenues in 160 countries, and they're part of the S&P 600. So they're a big deal. Dave Young: They've been big for a while. Stephen Semple: They've been big for a long time. Dave Young: I remember when Avis started, this was back in the Mad Men era. The big idea, the big advertising slogan for Avis was, "We're number two, but we try harder." So at that point, Hertz was number one. Stephen Semple: Yeah. We'll find out as we go into the story, Hertz was the first national brand as well. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So they really, and in many ways, kind of created the car rental business as we know it today. Dave Young: Awesome. Stephen Semple: They were founded by Walter Jacobs in 1918 in Chicago. And as I was saying, today they do like nine billion in revenue. So it's 1918 in Chicago, and the Model T Ford has been out for 10 years. There's about six million cars on the road, which is about 60 cars per 1000 people in the United States at that time. So they're pretty new, but you'll see a car. They're not foreign, but they're not new. It's kind of at that stage where you'll see them. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: So now back to Walter Jacobs. Walter's this real car junkie, and he had started out actually working on an assembly line, and now he owns a Ford car dealership. He really sees cars as the future. And when he opens the dealership, he has some sales success, but he runs into a problem. Lots of people are coming in to test drive a car, but they really still see them as a novelty. So if you think about it, there's no driver's license. Vehicles are standard, they're not automatic. And he would take people out for this test drive and it's kind of exciting, and it's a thrill, but what he's finding is that people are coming to do these test drives for the thrill. They're not really buying, to the stage where people come back and offer him money to take the test drive. Dave Young: Do another test drive. Stephen Semple: It was almost like an amusement ride for them. So lots of people want to drive, they don't want to buy it. And Walter looks at it and goes, well, people like the idea of a car.

What is more nostalgic than the memory of an American road trip: the sense of freedom and exploration, adventure and an open road, connection and memories, simplicity and escape? In The Great American Retro Road Trip: A Celebration of Roadside Americana (Artisan; hardcover; June 24, 2025), join journalist Rolando Pujol on a coast-to-coast celebration of the nostalgic pleasures of America's vintage signs, quirky roadside attractions, and offbeat fast-food relics.A taste of the 1000 iconic locations listed includes:The 21-foot Buck Atom, a Muffler Man space cowboy deposited by aliens at an old gas station on Route 66 near Tulsa, Oklahoma. The 13-foot Smiling Peanut, inspired by President Jimmy Carter's famous smile and constructed during his 1976 campaign, now sitting in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. The Sinclair Oil dinosaur Octane in Heber City, Utah, to see how local schoolteacher Christine Chappell has outfitted him (Octane has been dressed up as everything from a Utah Jazz player to Barbie to the Statue of Liberty and has promoted school fundraisers, political candidates, and helped celebrate holidays). The 9,370-pound World's Largest Popcorn Ball, made from real, locally grown popcorn kernels in Sac City, IowaA corn dog at the Cozy Drive-In in Springfield, Illinois, whose founder sensationalized the 1946 Illinois State Fair when he debuted his hot dog on a stick. A hamburger and midcentury ambience at The Red Rooster in Brewster, New York in a 1963 A-frame decorated with candy- stripes and an ice-cream-cone cupola. Burger Chef, founded in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1954, was once neck-and-neck with Burger King in the race to catch up with McDonald's. The chain faded away by the 1980s, but one of the finest remaining former Burger Chefs is in Rialto, California, is so authentic looking it appeared in Mad Men.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

What does “Don't commit adultery” really mean—and how can it shape our daily mindfulness? This week, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the Seventh Commandment as more than just a rule about fidelity. From Don Draper's complicated story in Mad Men to the Torah's vision of holiness, Josh explains how saying “no” to certain impulses allows us to say a deeper “yes” to love, truth, and sacred commitments.

Ted PageTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Ted Page. Ted is a marketing executive with his own firm, as well the author of several books. In this episode we discuss his early days in advertising; working for McCann- Erickson, and what led him to start his own company called Captains of Industry. Next, we get into a couple of the books that he has written previously, including a collection of family stories, and a book about branding & marketing. Then we talk about his most recent book Good Grandpa: Stories From the Heart of Grandfatherhood. Along the way, we discover that he worked with a previous guest of my show, more than 30 years ago! We dive into the impact that his own grandfathers had on him growing up, and why he felt that it was important to be that figure in the lives of his own grandchildren. We touch on the book and some of the folks that he interviewed and some of the things that he learned during this process. Ted shares anecdotes about Monarch butterflies, City Slickers, 'The Number One Thing', and 'The Greatest Generation'. This book is a fantastic read, even if you may never be a grandparent. The book is worth the read just for life lessons and the engaging stories from his family's campground on Lake Willoughby in Vermont. Special thanks to previous guest and really good dude; Greg Payne of The Cool Grandpa Podcast for making this happen. 

On this epsisode of BBB, the boys explore a beloved author who they somehow haven't managed to review until now. Mr. Joe Abercrombie's alternate history/fantasy tale "The Devils" is the subject this time around. Hilarious, gory, and unrepentantly grim and sardonic, Stephen and Mark dive into a world of curses, werewolves, elves, Popes, and, of course, truly flawed and damaged characters. It is a world where the scariest things aren't the summoned Dukes of Hell, but the people doing the summoning.   To guard against any lingering traumas from this darkly funny and brutal story, Stephen and Mark will be sampling a new bourbon whiskey from a local distillery, Geneva Lakes Bourbon Whiskey by Geneva Lakes Distilling & Studio Winery in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.   Home - Joe Abercrombie Studio Winery

The Cinema of Mad Men reaches its midpoint on today's episode, as we look at one of the show's very best episodes alongside the sole Hollywood effort by one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Corporate culture meets counterculture. In “Far Away Places”, we see three perspectives on a day from characters trying to escape. Peggy emulates Don in a pitch and ends up living in his dark side. Don and Megan get clams and sherbet at a HoJo's and have their big blowout fight. Roger breaks on through to the other side on LSD. Then, we talk about Antonioni's underrated classic Zabriskie Point, getting into the signs, the vibes, the music, and more. 00:00 - Mad Men "Far Away Places" 43:35 - Zabriskie Point

Dear Humans, I thought it would be nice to take a break from the doom and gloom, so I laughed My Ass off with one of My favorite actors. Thank you to our subscribers who made this possible! Please subscribe now if you can. Jesus and I got a little taste of the Hollywood red carpet this week when we attended a press junket to speak with actor and comedian Ben Feldman! Mr. Feldman has a new animated series coming to Netflix called Long Story Short, and considering it's by the creator of the incredible series Bojack Horseman, it looks like it's a series not to be missed. I loved that show! We Discuss: The Superstore and Mad Men star reveals why Long Story Short may be his favorite role yet, and why he's so excited to talk about this show. Ben explains why COVID storylines were a hot topic in Hollywood. Ben's hilariously candid take on parenting two young kids. Why animation allows more creative freedom than live-action TV. What it's like to have this show renewed for Season 2 before it even airs. If God could prevent The Big One from hitting the Los Angeles area any time soon. Don't forget: God and Jesus stream daily.

Norma Kamali started her career when women were expected to type memos in Mad Men-esque offices, not build their own empires. She came of age in 1960s New York City and since then, Norma's become one of the most influential names in fashion. Norma is responsible for iconic looks like Farrah Fawcett's red swimsuit, the sleeping bag coat, and some of the earliest activewear, before “athleisure” was ever a thing. At 80-years-old, she's showing no signs of stopping.  In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Norma also shares:  How a $29 flight and a basement boutique kicked off her career What it took to walk away from a toxic business – and marriage Why she took her brand to Walmart, even when people told her not to How learning to ask for help changed her life Why AI gives her a bigger creative high than anything else Learn more about your ad choices.
