Are you about to become invisible in the new era of dental marketing and AI? In this episode, Dr. Anissa Broussard shares how she went from a small island practice in Jamaica to leading a top dental marketing and AI agency built by a dentist, for dentists. If you're tired of being the best-kept secret in your city, this conversation is your roadmap.Dental marketing for dentists has shifted dramatically, and practices now need more than traditional dental marketing or basic dental practice marketing to stay competitive. Working with a specialized dental marketing agency can help dentists implement modern strategies like AI dental marketing, social media for dentists, and funnels for dentists—all designed to attract the right patients and create predictable dental practice growth. These tools make it easier to connect with people, build trust, and grow my dental practice without relying on discounts or outdated tactics.In today's landscape, marketing for dentists must include intelligent systems, automation, and platforms like ChatGPT for dentists to streamline communication and increase conversions. Leaders such as Dr. Anissa Broussard and her agency Digital Floss are setting the standard for what effective, authentic, and future-proof dental marketing looks like. By combining brand storytelling, omnichannel content, and AI-driven optimization, dentists can elevate their visibility, strengthen their reputation, and drive sustainable growth in any market.Chapters (Timestamps)00:00 Intro & why this conversation matters for dentists00:56 Who is Dr. Anissa?

Today's episode is a really personal one for me. As some of you may know, my family has been moving through complicated changes brought on by some issues with my mother's health. It's been a heartbreaking chapter and one of the most confusing periods emotionally. Jill McNamara is the General Manager of Care.com, and has been a person who has supported me in a huge way over this last year. She and the Care.com team have guided my family as we've searched for the proper care for my mom, and it's an honor to have her on the podcast to discuss the complicated emotions that come with watching someone you love change. When I asked you all to send in your questions, I was blown away by how many of you are going through similar things with your aging loved ones. Today, Jill and I are sitting down to talk through everything. I get raw and emotional about my own situation, and Jill offers such thoughtful, grounding wisdom about the realities of caregiving - the guilt, the frustration, the tenderness, and the small wins that still matter. If you are walking through anything like this, I hope this conversation helps you feel a little less alone and permits you to feel everything you're feeling, even when those feelings don't make sense together. I'm learning that there is no "right" way to do this, just the honest way.

Hi! Another solo from my cozy nook, and I get into a lot. First a little High/Low of the week and a little recap of our funny night celebrating our 10th anniversary. Then we go deeper. I'm answering questions that have really been sitting with me this month: What's taking up the most mental real estate lately? What emotions keep visiting? What's a story that I keep telling myself that isn't actually true anymore? What lies my anxiety loves to tell me and the fears that make no logical sense but continue to show up. And a list of my toxic traits that were funny to gather. If you're in the mood for a cozy, honest, reflection session full of good questions to ask yourself and your loved ones, this is for you. I love you! This episode is brought to you by Jones Road Beauty, Minted, Neiman Marcus, The RealReal, and Primal Kitchen.

How do you confront your MIL? How do you back out of a wedding? How do you sleep with a newborn? These are questions that Jon and Alex try to answer on this week's episode.

Guest co-host Ben Miller, Shoptalk's VP of Original Content and Strategy joins to provide expert analysis and we interview Lauren Sherman, the acclaimed fashion correspondent at Puck and author of Selling Sexy: Victoria's Secret and the Unraveling of an American IconThe episode kicks off with a rich news segment, where the trio unpacks the latest forces shaping retail and the economy. Amazon's strong Q3 earnings headline the week, with third-party marketplace growth and ad revenues surging 24%. The conversation then pivots to the consumer landscape, where CPG brands lean on pricing over volume, private-label growth accelerates, and Estee Lauder's rebound in China might hint at green shoots in luxury demand.From there, the hosts explore the AI revolution's ripple through the workforce, with Ben outlining how global companies are reorganizing around “agentic transformation” as human and machine intelligence increasingly converge. He notes that the average IQ of today's AI agents already exceeds 130—with future leaps that will reshape every operating model. The segment closes with Steve's macro overview: U.S.–China tariff recalibrations, Fed policy shifts, and warning signs of consumer softening among younger cohorts.In the feature interview, Lauren Sherman offers a masterclass on the shifting foundations of global fashion and luxury. From the post-pandemic boom to today's demand reset, she dissects how the Chinese slowdown, pricing strategy saturation, and the direct-to-consumer explosion are redrawing the map for brands like LVMH, Hermès, and Prada. Lauren argues that “untouchable” luxury houses are now confronting the limits of endless growth, and that resale and rental markets have permanently altered consumer psychology—embedding secondhand luxury as a normalized part of the buying journey.She also explores social media's transformation under AI, Hollywood's over-reliance on fashion partnerships, and why the luxury world's obsession with celebrity campaigns may have reached saturation.The episode also previews ShopTalk Luxe, the new Abu Dhabi-based event connecting the global luxury ecosystem. The hosts wrap by spotlighting the AI data-center boom, the rise of GLP-1-driven nutrition trends, and the surprising revival of British department stores.

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we discuss Grace Wales Bonner taking over as the creative director of menswear at Hermés. It's a job that Wales Bonner has previously referred to as a dream job, and it makes her the first black woman to lead a major European luxury brand. We also discuss Dsquared2's restructuring and layoffs amid its legal battle with licensing company Staff International. And we break down Saks Fifth Avenue's recent earnings report, which shows the retailer continuing to struggle after its billion-dollar merger with Neiman Marcus. Later in the episode, Zofia is joined by our editor-in-chief, Jill Manoff, and Glossy's research director, Li Lu, to discuss holiday retail strategies. The conversation draws from our annual Glossy+ Holiday Research Report, released earlier this month. One of the main takeaways from the report: Neither marketers nor brands have high hopes for this holiday season. “I would say a lot of marketers have very conservative expectations for holiday revenue,” Li Lu said. “About 56% of them said they don't expect increases to be more than 10%. Within that 56%, 27% of them just said, flat out, that they don't expect any change. So it's very conservative this year for the most part.” The discussion also covers price increases for the holiday season due to tariffs, discounting strategies heading into the holidays, and the role of digital marketplaces like Amazon and traditional department stores like Macy's this holiday shopping season.

What happens when your growing business starts demanding more than your body can give?In this episode of Business with Chronic Illness, I'm joined by Stephanie DiPisa, founder of Solara Suncare, mom of three, and Chronic Lyme advocate, to talk about the hard but necessary truth: sometimes the best thing for your business is doing less, not more.Stephanie opens up about launching her first business at 40 with no beauty industry experience, building Solara into a successful brand sold everywhere from Target to Neiman Marcus, and how her journey with chronic Lyme disease taught her to recognize when it's time to intentionally slow down. She shares why she had to pause her business completely for a year, how that break actually made her products better, and the warning signs that tell her it's time to "turn down the faucet" on growth.By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with:Why forced health breaks can actually strengthen your business and improve your offerings in unexpected ways.How to recognize when you're slipping into unsustainable patterns before you reach a complete breaking point.How shifting away from "catching up" fear and toward intentional choices that prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term gains.Stephanie's story is a reminder that building a successful business with chronic illness isn't about pushing harder; it's about listening to your body's wisdom and creating something that can thrive even when you need to rest.Companies mentioned in this episode: Global Lyme Alliance Project Lyme Ali Moresco Tick Chicks Leave us a Review and share this episode with a friend.Send Me A Text & Share Your QA's or ThoughtsJoin The 5-Day Audio Series - Rooted Sales Loved this episode?

In an August 14th Vogue Business article by Madeleine Schultz , Saks Global, the parent company of Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, discussed its personalisation strategy and an investment of $600 million for it's new platform. The only problem is: based on the article, we think they got it wrong. In this episode of the Experience Strategy Podcast, hosts Aransas Savas, Joe Pine, and Dave Norton delve into the evolving landscape of personalization in retail, particularly focusing on Saks Global's new strategies. They discuss the importance of understanding customer modes, the role of contextual data, and the challenges faced by traditional personalization approaches. The conversation highlights the need for brands to meet customers where they are, especially in the age of social shopping, and emphasizes the integration of online and offline experiences to enhance customer engagement. This episode is brought to you by The Cargo Agency and Feedback Now. Takeaways Personalization is a form of customization for individuals. Saks has invested heavily in personalization strategies. Modes thinking is crucial for effective personalization. Contextual data is essential for understanding customer needs. Traditional personalization approaches may feel outdated.

In this special summer edition of the Remarkable Retail podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis return to the mic for a jam-packed Month-in-Review episode. With interviews from the CommerceNext Growth Show rolling out all summer long, the duo takes a break from the regular cadence to reflect on the key developments dominating retail headlines.Kicking things off, Michael and Steve catch up on their summer travels, from retail safaris to personal DIY projects, before diving into on-the-ground observations from recent store visits. They note intensified promotional activity, flagging department store performance, and struggling retailers like Kohl's—whose housekeeping and inventory issues speak volumes about the deeper structural challenges facing legacy banners.A major theme is the ripple effect of evolving tariff policies. Steve breaks down the shifting landscape of trade "deals"—or lack thereof—impacting everything from apparel to automobiles, including the end of the de minimis clause that could reshape the business model of players like Shein and Temu. While retailers have largely absorbed tariff costs for now, Q4 pricing and profitability are big question marks, particularly for cash-strapped players.The conversation turns to macroeconomic conditions and a surprisingly resilient U.S. consumer. However, Steve warns against viewing “the consumer” as a monolith, emphasizing growing bifurcation between income brackets. The luxury market underscores this divide—Hermès continues to thrive, while Gucci and more aspirational brands struggle, and Saks Global faces mounting losses and vendor tensions.The episode also unpacks Amazon's latest earnings, with standout 23% growth in ad sales, despite investor jitters around AWS and an uncertain outlook.Other hot takes include AI's expanding role in customer interaction, the controversy around American Eagle's “gene/jeans” ad featuring Sydney Sweeney, and the headline-grabbing soap opera surrounding Hudson's Bay's failed resurrection attempt in Canada.Looking ahead, Michael and Steve preview August retail earnings, the fall retail conference season, and the ongoing evolution of AI-enabled search.  About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers.

Ali Mejia is the visionary and cofounder of elevated sleepwear brand Eberjey. Although she'd always had a soft spot for pajamas (getting ready for bed was a self-care ritual in her home growing up), Mejia began her career on Wall Street. After graduating from Princeton, she followed many of her peers to New York City and got a job as a financial analyst. When her bank unexpectedly closed, she was laid off and left to confront the nagging feeling that she should be exploring her creativity. She used her severance package to fund a trip to Florence, Italy, and being immersed in the arts and culture inspired her to make a change in her career. Upon returning home, she took one more short-lived finance job and then landed a fashion internship at Cynthia Rowley that energized her. She moved back home to Miami and took a direct marketing job to pay the bills while quietly working with a local patternmaker and learning how to design sleepwear. Once she had designed a few prototypes, she told her coworker at the direct marketing company about her business idea. This coworker, Mariela Rovito, became Mejia's cofounder in Eberjey. In 1996, they left their day jobs, put $10,000 each into this new venture, and set off on a brand-building journey with no business plan. Today, almost three decades later, Eberjey remains a leading international sleepwear brand with five brick-and-mortar shops and products sold in over 500 retailers, from Neiman Marcus to Nordstrom.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

She reveals the most-worn fashion brands on the island, dishes on how contestants swap clothes behind the scenes, and compares their fast fashion ‘fits to host Ariana Madix's cutting-edge, runway-ready looks.And if you're looking to channel that effortless, steamy vacation style, you're in luck — Sarah shares her ultimate “Love Island Fashion Starter Pack” — think cowboy hats, Y2K designer sunglasses, denim cutoffs, and pearls (yes, pearls). And in classic villa tradition, she whips up her own breakfast — no bombshell boyfriend required.

Today's show is the second in a mini-series on the changing face of business. On Friday's show we talked about how Google is keeping search traffic on the Google platform and is not sending organic search results to the source pages in the way it used to. Traffic to businesses is dramatically reduced. This will cause many businesses who relied largely upon organic search to either adapt to whatever will replace organic search, or they will face bankruptcy. This is also going to affect every aspect of retail. So much has been written about the retail apocalypse. There is no question that the footprint of traditional retail is changing. There is much less diversity in shopping experience today than when I was a teenager. In the US we had numerous department store chains including Bloomingdales, Macy's Sears, Kmart, Bergdorf Goodman, Filenes, Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, JC Penny, Walmart Target Montgomery Ward, Ames, and countless others. Today, only a small fraction of those remain. We are all familiar with the e-commerce revolution and how Amazon and Walmart are increasingly dominating this space. Even major retailers including Home Depot and Best Buy have a larger online catalog with products that are only a couple of days away from your home. But the new revolution is in a form of shopping called social shopping. This has been in existence in China for more than 8 years and is still in experimental stages in the US on a limited basis with specific platforms. So what is social shopping?  It is a method of e-commerce that integrates the social aspects of human interaction into the online shopping experience. It leverages social media platforms and online communities to facilitate the discovery, research, sharing, and purchasing of products and services. Think influencers. Think buying events. -----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

From the ashes of Pets.com to the early days of The RealReal, Julie explains how she saw an opening in the e-commerce space and moved fast, testing, iterating, and winning customers city by city. She didn't wait for investor buy-in. She mailed postcards. She knocked on doors. She made it work.What convinced early customers to trust her with their Chanel and Prada? What does it take to scale a business from $10 million to $500 million when most investors don't even understand your category? And what do you do when the company you built is no longer yours?Julie shares how strategic partnerships, like an early collaboration with Neiman Marcus, helped put The RealReal on the map. She reflects on the power of in-person experiences, like pop-up stores, and why human connection can drive business in a way digital never fully replaces.Now leading her second venture, Ahara, Julie is focused on precision nutrition and on helping other entrepreneurs find their footing. Her new book, Time to Get Real, is both a memoir and a playbook for anyone building something that feels personal.If you've ever doubted yourself, or felt like others have doubted you more, Julie's story will remind you what's possible when you trust your vision and keep going.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Introduction to Julie Wainwright and The RealReal05:04 From Pets.com to The RealReal: Julie's Founder Story11:29 Building Trust in Luxury Consignment17:43 Raising Capital and Finding the Right Investors22:37 Scaling E-Commerce Through Strategic Partnerships28:14 How Resale Impacts Luxury Markets29:17 Leadership Changes and Boardroom Challenges32:58 Lessons from Entrepreneurship and Gender Dynamics36:48 Starting Over: New Ventures and Growth39:24 Why Nutrition Became Julie's Next Mission43:34 Advice for Aspiring EntrepreneursConnect with Julie Wainwright:http://www.instagram.com/realrealjulieGet on the Marketing Made Simple Waitlist: https://lindsaypinchuk.myflodesk.com/waitlistDear FoundHer Forum: https://www.dearfoundher.com/dear-foundher-forumDon't forget to follow Lindsay on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindsaypinchukFollow Dear FoundHer on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/dearfoundherPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.
