There is elegance, there is smarts, and there is athleticism...rarely do you find them in one person. Meet Florence Cathiard, half of the husband-wife team that owns and transformed both Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte in Bordeaux and Cahtiard Vineyards in Napa. The dynamic duo as established these two prime vineyards and places of history into thought provoking destinations. It takes about 20 seconds to realize you are conversing with an accomplished business woman and wine romanticist. Join me as I dive into the heart of Napa Valley with Florence Cathiard, co-founder of Cathiard Vineyards, in a captivating episode of "Wine Talks with Paul Kay!" Discover the essence of what makes a great wine: the perfect varietal, a dedicated team, and harmonious climatology gifted by Mother Nature. Florence shares her journey from professional skiing to becoming a wine industry icon, driven by a passion for purity and elegance in every bottle. Learn about her experiences in Bordeaux and Napa, and why organic and sustainable practices are at the core of their vineyard's success. Listen to how Florence and her husband, Daniel, have transformed their love for nature and wine into a thriving, globally recognized legacy. Listen in, feel the charm, and let your palate be the judge! Fun Facts: Florence Cathiard was a member of the French national ski team and met her husband, Daniel Cathiard, who was also a skier and the only student in the team, through skiing. The Cathiards initially dabbled in supermarkets and sports goods shops, including opening four large shops in California named "Gauche Port." Florence was involved with Rossignol Skis in Japan and ended up starting her own advertising agency, eventually joining McCann Erickson as a vice president. The Cathiards had a romantic notion to set up a small business without unions, leading them to buy and revive the derelict Smith Haut Lafitte vineyard in Bordeaux. Summary: In this engaging episode of Wine Talks, I sit down with the passionate Florence Cathiard, co-founder, and owner of Cathiard Vineyards. Florence shares captivating stories from her multifaceted journey, beginning with her skiing career in the French national team, where she met her husband, Daniel Cathiard. The couple eventually transitioned from sports to business, managing a chain of supermarkets and establishing "Gauche Port" sports shops, even expanding briefly into California. Their path took a remarkable turn when they purchased the neglected Smith Haut Lafitte vineyard in Bordeaux, driven by a passion for quality wine, a connection to nature, and a desire for a small-scale business. Florence highlights the essential elements for great winemaking - a dedicated team, the right varietals, and favorable climatology. The Cathiards' entrepreneurial spirit also led them to venture into Napa Valley, embracing organic practices and establishing their presence with a focus on elegant and harmonious wines. Florence's dedication to creating an unforgettable wine experience shines through as she discusses the family's ongoing impact on the wine industry and their shared love for winemaking as an expression of geography and history.

Our special guest for our final episode of the year is our good friend Faris Yakob. He and his wife Rosie are the force behind the consultancy Genius Steals, a nomadic strategic and creative consultancy. Faris is also the author of a book about how advertising works through the lens of the concept of attention. It's called, Paid Attention which is now in its 2nd edition. He has been at a variety of media and advertising agencies throughout his career, including Naked Communications, McCann Erickson, MDC Partners and helped to found many others. He writes for Campaign, Fast Company, Contagious and other publications. And he thinks deeply about the state of the ad world - how its changing, what it does, how it does it, and what it means for us all. He sat down to talk to us before Thanksgiving about how media planning works, how brands and advertisers think about audiences, and how the stories we tell about youth cultures have been recycled and subtly upgraded since the invention of the teenager, to fulfill the hopes and dreams of not only the corporations who want them to buy stuff, but just as importantly, the people who make advertising and want to believe it is capable of doing something good in the world.This is our last episode of the year - we wish you a very happy and relaxing holiday season, and send our best wishes for the New Year.

Mary Wells Lawrence foi uma publicitária norte-americana. Sua sede por reconhecimento em um ambiente masculino e hostil, transformaram o mercado para sempre. Nascida em 1928, em Ohio, MWL começou sua carreira em 1951, trabalhando como redatora para uma loja de departamentos. Dois anos depois, se mudou para Nova Iorque. Trabalhou como gerente de publicidade da Macy's até ser contratada pela agência de publicidade McCann-Erickson, onde trabalharia até 1956. Dps se tornou redatora-chefe da Doyle Dane Bernbach, agência da qual se tornaria vice-presidente em 1963. Sua genialidade seria reconhecida na Jack Tinker and Partners, agência renomada por sua criatividade e inovação, de onde Wells viraria sócia sênior. Ali, foi responsável pela repaginada da Braniff Airways, criando uniformes juntamente com Emilio Pucci para os comissários!. Criou o slogan “end of the plain plane”. Tinha um salário e renome atípicos para uma mulher de seu tempo, mas que continuava sendo muito menor do que o de vários homens menos competentes. Após o sucesso com a Braniff, e tendo sido negada a promoção prometida por seus chefes, MW criou, com dois colegas, sua própria agência: a Wells Rich Greene. Tornou-se uma das primeiras mulheres a presidir uma grande empresa, e passou a comandar a agência com o maior e mais rápido crescimento na década de 1970. Inventou a campanha “I ♡ NY”, que visava atrair mais turistas para Nova Iorque, e acabou criando um dos símbolos (e slogans!) mais famosos do mundo até hoje. Quando a WGR abriu capital, em 1968, Mary Wells se tornou a primeira CEO de uma empresa na Bolsa de Valores de Nova Iorque, e uma das executivas mais ricas do mundo. Tendo lutado contra cânceres de bexiga e na mama durante a década de 1980, a mais lendária das publicitárias se aposentou em 1990, após mais de 40 anos de uma carreira brilhante. Aos 95 anos, Mary Wells Lawrence segue viva, e talvez tenha até assistido “Mad Men” – sabendo que a protagonista, Peggy Olson, foi amplamente inspirada em sua trajetória!

Today I'm Having a GAS™ with Rob Henderson, talking all things Don Draper, Mad Men and specifically what his character teaches us about masculinity throughout the twentieth century right up to 2023! Rob Henderson recently earned his PhD at Cambridge University specialising in human behaviour. If you're interested to hear more from Rob, follow him at https://robkhenderson.substack.com/ Having a GAS™ is the podcast that talks to the great and the good of the creative industries, and in particular finds out what makes great music for film, for TV, for advertising; for dancing to, for cooking to, f*cking to, and more...   GAS™ Music is a music production agency in Manchester, UK. We compose and produce original music, create awe inspiring sound design and have a fully integrated audio post-production studio. We also have a great record collection, and welcome any additions, recommendations or criticisms. http://www.gasismusic.co.uk​​​   According to Wikipedia...   Donald Francis Draper, born Richard “Dick” Whitman, is a fictional character and the protagonist of the AMC television series Mad Men (2007–2015), portrayed by Jon Hamm. Up to the Season 3 finale, Draper was creative director of fictional Manhattan advertising firm Sterling Cooper. He then became a founding partner at a new firm, Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, after he and his superiors left their previous agency in advance of an unwanted acquisition. The agency later merged with a rival firm, Cutler Gleason & Chaough, to become Sterling Cooper & Partners while pursuing a contract from Chevrolet. The character of Don Draper is partially inspired by Draper Daniels, a creative director at Leo Burnett advertising agency in Chicago in the 1950s, who worked on the Marlboro Man campaign; and by Bill Backer, an advertising executive at McCann Erickson who created the "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke" ad in 1971. Mad Men is an American period drama television series created by Matthew Weiner and produced by Lionsgate Television. It ran on the cable network AMC from July 19, 2007, to May 17, 2015, lasting for seven seasons and 92 episodes. Its fictional time frame runs from March 1960 to November 1970. Mad Men begins at the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency on Madison Avenue in Manhattan, New York City, and continues at the new firm of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce (later named Sterling Cooper & Partners) near the Time-Life Building at 1271 Sixth Avenue. According to the pilot episode, the phrase "Mad men" was a slang term coined in the 1950s by advertisers working on Madison Avenue to refer to themselves, "Mad" being short for "Madison" (in reality, the only documented use of the phrase from that time may have been in the late-1950s writings of James Kelly, an advertising executive and writer). The series's main character is the charismatic advertising executive Don Draper (played by Jon Hamm), who is initially the talented creative director at Sterling Cooper. He is erratic and mysterious but is widely regarded throughout the advertising world as a genius; some of the most famous advertisement campaigns in history are shown to be his creations. Later, Don becomes a founding partner at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce but begins a struggle as his highly calculated identity falls into a period of decline. The plot of the show tracks the people in his personal and professional lives. As the series progresses, it depicts the changing moods and social mores of the United States throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. Mad Men received widespread critical acclaim for its writing, acting, directing, visual style and historical authenticity; it won many awards, including 16 Emmys and five Golden Globes. The show was also the first basic cable series to receive the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series, winning the award each year of its first four seasons (2008–2011). It is widely regarded as one of the greatest television series of all time and as part of the early 21st century Golden Age of Television   © GAS™ Music 2022

This episode of The Jake Dunlap Show features Daniel Binns, Chief Executive Officer NA and Global Director of Partnerships at Interbrand. Daniel's drive to be wildly successful can be traced back to his university life, but not because he was particularly good at academics.When Daniel dropped out, he distinctly remembers a conversation he had with his father where he was basically told that this was the worst decision he could possibly make. From then on, it became the driving force behind Daniel's desire to become the best at whatever he does.His career would take a definitive turn once he joined McCann Erickson where he would take on role after role that took him to Belgium, Bahrain, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Africa, back to London, and eventually New York. Aside from taking opportunities as they came along, Daniel stresses the critical role that network played in helping him achieve great heights in his career. He also shares that, although he did not subscribe to a 5 year plan, he always had a goal in mind which was to become a leader of advertising in New York.After 19 solid years of upward mobility with McCann, Daniel decided to break out on his own and run a charity. However, he missed the intellectual challenge of strategy and returned to the advertising industry as a consultant.He would later be reconnected with his old advertising network and be invited to join the Interbrand team which would prove to be another turning point in his career. Daniel would work on strategy again, the aspect of business which he truly loves, and eventually move up to management as the CEO.Listen to the full podcast on Daniel's trials of fire, believing in his own faculties to become successful, and fearlessly taking every opportunity as they come.QUOTES:16:30 "I called him up and said, by the way dad, I've dropped out of college. And he said what? I said yeah, yeah, you know, so I didn't really like it. And it was any time I think he ever swore me. He said, I don't care that you don't like it. That's not the point."16:48 "That conversation has stuck in my head and was very formative because from that moment I was like, I'm going to show you I don't need to go to university. I am going to be way more successful than you ever dreamt of and it really drove me."24:41 "How I became successful is I just always said yes. I was open to anything. I didn't plan. I had friends that would have their 5 year plan for their career. I was like, why would you do that? You're just going to take the opportunities that come along."27:08 "I was never afraid to take a role that seemed outside of my abilities. From that regional, every one of the jobs I ever had, I didn't really have the qualifications to do it."48:00 "It's hard to stay still. You're either moving forward or you're going backwards so I just thought, no, I'm going to keep going, keep going as far as I can go. Until I stop enjoying what I'm doing, I'll keep trying to drive up."More about DanielDaniel began his professional career in a TV station selling TV airtime. While it was second to the smallest station at the time, it did introduce him to ad agencies which then led to a job offer from an agency as a media buyer.After a couple of years, he had the opportunity to join the international media department of McCann Erickson which he considers to be the turning point in his career. This would eventually be called the European media department and, filling a leadership gap, decided to move along with his office to Brussels to work directly under the CEO.He then had the opportunity to move to Bahrain as the Regional Media Director. Fearlessly, he said yes and jumped headfirst into the role. This trend would continue and it would take him to Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Johannesburg, and New York. Daniel would find himself as President at McCann Indonesia at the age of 29 and his successes would continue on from here. But after a storied 19 year career with McCann, Daniel decided to start his own focus with a nonprofit called Peace One Day as CEO.An ex-colleague invited Daniel to join Kimberly-Clark as a consultant to reposition their corporate brand and this gave birth to his consultancy firm, Left Field Consultancy. But after missing the business culture, he had the opportunity to join Interbrand, which he promptly took up. Interbrand would take in Daniel full-time as Executive Director, Global Brand Engineer working with Nissan. In a couple of years, he would gravitate back to management where he is now CEO of Interbrand NA. Find out more about Daniel and connect with him in the following links:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielbinnsLearn more about Jake Dunlap and Skaled by visiting the links below:Jake Dunlap:Personal Site - http://jakedunlap.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakedunlap/Twitter - https://twitter.com/JakeTDunlapInstagram - http://instagram.com/jake_dunlap_Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JakeTDunlap/Skaled:Website - https://skaled.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/skaledYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsw_03rSlbGQkeLGMGiDf4Q

Él es un rebelde de la vida que después de hacer una carrera maratónica de más de cuarenta años en la publicidad y de haber sido Vicepresidente Creativo de agencias como JMC Young & Rubicam, Lyntas, McCann Erickson y JWT, montó su propia agencia y que hoy es director creativo de Volkswagen en Mcgarrybowen México. Un creativo que se ha reinventado permanentemente adaptándose desde la época dorada de la publicidad hasta este momento de comunicación transmedia. Un sabio que con un estilo riguroso, siempre nos enseñó a los que crecimos con él, no solo el valor de una buena idea sino también la importancia de la disciplina. Pero sobre todo, un tipo con un corazón grande como una casa.Esa noche hablamos entre muchas otras cosas de su hermano Chochó, que resultó ser mi tío elegido favorito de la vida. Hablamos también de una gran pasión que compartimos que es el surf y de los inicios de este deporte en nuestro país.También pasamos por un personaje que en alguna alguna época fue el CEO de McCann Erickson Venezuela que tenía una filosofía bastante… particular, que es totalmente opuesta a lo que creo que debería ser una agencia con magia. Y como papá luchón soltero que un día decidió criar a su hija me contó sobre esa época en la que logró combinar el trabajo y las labores domésticas.Visítanos en https://www.elmartinez.net y suscríbete en Spotify, Apple Podcasts o donde escuches siempre tus podcasts.
