This week is part one with reality TV icon Teresa Giudice in a candid, unfiltered deep-dive and whirlwind tour through her life on and off screen. From our first moments—debating the proper way to pronounce “Ju-dice” versus “Ju-dee-jay”— We establish a playful, offbeat vibe that sets the tone for raw honesty, humor, and insight. Teresa opens about her 17-year journey on TV—that has seen her transition from a hesitant mom of three into the most recognized face of the Housewives franchise. She recounts how signing on to the show wasn't an immediate decision. “It took almost a year to sign the contract,” she admits, reflecting on her initial confusion and uncertainty about what the venture would truly entail and caught in the windstorm of fame, family drama, and unexpected twists. Over a lively Armenian Coffee ritual—complete with humorous instructions on how to flip the cup and playful banter she reveals how fame magnified personal challenges and touches on how the pressures of being a housewife on TV accelerated inevitable family tensions and transformed her personal life. With trademark candor, she details how her family was drawn into the spotlight, sometimes against her wishes, and how even close relationships became complicated by the behind-the-scenes maneuvers of producers and casting calls. Teresa shares intimate details about her past relationships, contrasting the shallow excitement of her previous marriage with the profound connection she now enjoys with her current partner, Louie. She describes him as her “twin flame,” a partner who truly supports and understands her—a stark contrast to the lackluster passion of her former relationship, which was marred by betrayal and financial missteps. Alongside amusing anecdotes about celebrity encounters (a nod to Kevin Costner's charm and playful jabs at Jennifer Lopez), the discussion dives into life lessons learned from navigating the turbulent world of reality TV. Not one to shy away from practical advice, she offers tips for aspiring housewives and reality stars alike. She stresses the importance of financial independence, the need to scrutinize every contract, and the value of knowing every detail of your partner's business affairs—reminding us that a public life often magnifies the personal. Additionally, she recounts her pre-TV career in the fashion industry, from working in Macy's buying office at Herald Square to her ventures with Calvin Klein and Nine West, painting a picture of a multifaceted woman who has reinvented herself time and again. Throughout our conversation, the playful interplay between all of us provides both levity and depth. The humorous take on everything from coffee rituals to celebrity gossip underscores a deeper narrative: the complex, layered reality behind the glamorous persona as she reflects on the lasting influence of her immigrant upbringing, her close bond with her late parents, and the indelible mark her early life has left on her, we are treated to an intimate portrait of resilience, reinvention, and raw authenticity. Get ready to sip your coffee, flip your cup, and dive into the heart, humor, and hard-won wisdom of Teresa Giudice on this unforgettable episode!

The Catalyst: Sparking Creative Transformation in Healthcare
“As doctors and clinicians in healthcare, we might have our own full moon stories. Things go a little crazy during a full moon,” says Dr. Lara Salyer. In this episode, Dr. Salyer uses the full moon as a powerful metaphor for growth and self-discovery, sharing her life experiences, including a memorable incident where a car crashed into a Nine West shoe store during a full moon, to illustrate how these lunar phases can shed light on our purpose and intuition. Dr. Salyer dives into the cultural significance of the full moon, exploring themes of enlightenment, transformation, and balance. She challenges listeners to consider how they can harness this energy for meaningful self-reflection. Introducing the Japanese concept of ‘ikigai,' Dr. Salyer offers a compelling framework for finding purpose at the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. How might aligning these elements bring more fulfillment to your work and life? She outlines five actionable steps to help you connect with your purpose: reflect on peak moments, seek feedback, explore new interests, align practices with your core values, and incorporate creativity into your daily routine. These steps are designed not just to foster a deeper sense of fulfillment but to actively prevent burnout. Dr. Salyer also highlights the importance of regular self-reflection and creative expression, suggesting that the full moon can serve as a monthly reminder to reassess and realign. She encourages listeners to engage with their communities, keep pushing the boundaries, and follow their inner light to achieve true professional satisfaction. Quotes “As a person who's multi-passionate myself, please take these little tips with a grain of salt. You can have multiple purposes and missions. You can be excited by many things. Your ikigai is not just one solitary thing that you must stick to your whole life. It is often welcome to change, just like the moon. As you wax and wane, you can have tidal waves of flow where you're drawn toward other missions and purposes. And that is why we need to connect to that deeper intuition, especially around a full moon.” (07:02 | Dr. Lara Salyer) “I talk about this all the time in my studio mentorship for Catalyst, where we discuss creating your Catalyst culture. A Catalyst culture is aligned with your flow, leverages your strengths, is anti-burnout, and helps you stay on task with your values. We regularly audit our values because they can change and shift, and that's okay—actually, it's always okay.” (13:33 | Dr. Lara Salyer) “Full moons are an opportunity to highlight your magnificence and to connect into that inner light that directs you.” (19:19 | Dr. Lara Salyer) Links Use the coupon code PODCAST for free Brainstorming Session https://drlarasalyer.as.me/discovery Connect with Lara: Website: https://drlarasalyer.com The Catalyst Way: https://drlarasalyer.com/catalyst Instagram: @drlarasalyer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drlarasalyer Linked-In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drlarasalyer/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DrLaraSalyer TikTok: @Creativity.Doctor Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

This groundbreaking agreement involves Sparc Group becoming a minority shareholder in Shein while Shein acquires a one-third stake in Sparc. Sparc Group is a collaboration between Simon Group, a retail real estate company, and Authentic Brands Group, known for its portfolio of brands such as Brooks Brothers and Nine West. 快時尚線上零售商 Shein 隨著最近與 Forever 21 的母公司 Sparc Group 建立合作夥伴關係，即將在你附近的購物中心現身啦。這項具有突破性的協議使 Sparc Group 成為 Shein 的少數股東，同時 Shein 也獲得 Sparc 的三分之一股權。Sparc Group 是 Simon Group（一家零售不動產公司）和 Authentic Brands Group（以旗下品牌如 Brooks Brothers 和 Nine West 而聞名）的合作夥伴。 This strategic move is expected to significantly expand the market reach of both companies. Shein's e-commerce platform currently operates in over 150 countries and boasts a staggering 250 million followers on various social media platforms. According to a press release from Sparc, this partnership will "provide Sparc Group a platform to further grow its brands." Sparc's CEO, Marc Miller, emphasized that this collaboration would bring more innovative and trendsetting products to fashion enthusiasts worldwide. 這項市場策略預計將顯著擴展兩家公司的市場覆蓋範圍。Shein 的電子商務平台目前在超過 150 個國家運營銷售，並在各種社交媒體平台上擁有超過 2.5 億的追蹤數。根據 Sparc 發布的新聞稿，這份合作夥伴關係將「為 Sparc Group 提供進一步發展其品牌的平台」。Sparc 的首席執行官 Marc Miller 強調，這項合作將為全球時尚愛好者帶來更多創新和引領潮流的產品。 In exchange, Shein plans to introduce its products into physical retail spaces, with a particular focus on Forever 21 stores. This makes sense as both Shein and Forever 21 cater to a youthful customer base and are known for their fast fashion approach, characterized by the mass production of affordable items that are frequently disposed of as consumers chase the latest trends. It's worth noting that fast fashion has faced criticism due to its environmental impact, as it often encourages disposable fashion. 作為交換，Shein 計劃將其產品引入實體零售空間，特別聚焦於 Forever 21 門市。原因是因為 Shein 和 Forever 21 都面向年輕客群，以大規模生產價格實惠的商品而聞名，這些商品通常會因為消費者追求最新潮流而經常棄置。值得注意的是，快時尚因其對環境的影響而受到批評，因為它通常鼓勵一次性、拋棄式時尚品。 Donald Tang, Shein's executive chairman, highlighted the synergy between Simon's expertise in physical retail, Authentic's brand development proficiency, and Shein's on-demand business model. He stated that this partnership would facilitate scalable growth and make fashion more accessible to a broader audience. Shein 的執行主席 Donald Tang 強調了 Simon 在實體零售方面的專業知識、Authentic 的品牌發展能力以及 Shein 的即時商業模式之間的協同效應。他表示，這份合作夥伴關係將有助於實現大幅擴展增長，使時尚更加容易接觸到更廣泛的受眾。 Reference article: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/08/25/business/shein-forever-21-deal/index.html

Barker had planned to continue with his education in medicine, however his mother got him on The Clothes Show, for a model search campaign, in which he won and with this he began his career in modeling. For approximately 10 years Barker modeled in New York, Milan, Paris and London. Observing the fashion industry, Barker became engrossed in photography. Barker opened StudioNB, his photo studio in Meat Packing District, Manhattan in 1996. For a decade in front of the camera, Barker decided to be the one holding it. So, he pursued photography and quit modeling. He did photography ad campaigns and other projects for Interview, Town & Country, Ted Baker, Lexus, Nine West, Jordache, Ford, Sony, Pamella Roland, Beefeater, GQ, Cover, Tatler, Seventeen, and Leviev. Gradually, Barker was becoming popular and buyers for his work were increasing in number. A call from Tyra Banks in 2004, opened an opportunity for Nigel Barker to photograph America's Next Top Model. He also became the judge of the show. Following this, he became the judge for Miss America Pageant, 2007 and in 2012 for Miss Universe Pageant.

She broken this show business with roles from Ugly Betty, Poor Pablo, Eternally Manuela, and El Cartel, filmed in Colombia and Miami. She recorded and produced for WLRN Miami South Florida, and now lives in LA where she records voiceover for television, radio, and films, and last, but certainly not least, she has booth kitties, which are so very important. Yay! Pilar, it's a pleasure having you here today. Thank you so much for joining me. Pilar: I am so glad to be here, Anne. This is a real treat. Thank you. Anne: So, first of all, the booth kitty, I have to know, booth kitties, booth kitty? Pilar: Booth kitty. Anne: Booth kitty. Pilar: Booth kitty. Yes. His name is Paco, Anne: Paco. Pilar: Well, his full name is Paco Del Barrio. Anne: Oh. Pilar: Paco Del Barrio, yes. Anne: Oh, Paco. Now, is Paco in the studio with you right now? Pilar: No, he's not. I know he's outside, and he's sitting on top of the desk where I edit looking like, like, how dare you close that door? Anne: How dare you not pay attention to me? Pilar: Exactly. I need a window for the door. Anne: As you know, we now both have booth kitties and that is a major plus for, I think, productivity in the booth to have booth kitties. They really help you in your daily -- Pilar: Absolutely. Anne: -- your daily booth recordings. Pilar: Yeah, they're very, yes, they're very, they're very observant, and they're very, how can I say this? Anne: They direct well. Pilar: They teach you, they teach you a lot about you as a voice actor. Anne: I agree. Pilar: We'll get into that. Anne: I agree. I think that could be an episode actually, how our pets help us learn about ourselves. For sure. For sure. Pilar: Exactly. Anne: So you're not even like a triple threat. You're like a quadruple, like, you're like multiple, multiple threats, TV, radio, voiceover. Tell us about how you started in the business? Because I think you've got a wonderful story to tell, and we can all learn a lot about how you evolved into your voiceover career. Pilar: Okay. So how much time do you get? Anne: Well, this first episode is about only 25 minutes. So. Pilar: Okay, I'll be quick. Now, I was born and bred in New York. Both my parents are from Colombia, a little town called Ibagué. And, um, I spoke Spanish until I was five. When I went to grade school, high school, I was in all the plays. I played the angel. I, you know, I did all kinds of things, singing groups. I was in the choir. I was in -- Anne: Me too. Pilar: Yeah. Right. You know, you do it all. Anne: Choir thing and you know, that creative. stuff. Pilar: Exactly. Exactly. I went to a girls school, and so we were in this choir, and I was just in this thing called Triple Trio. And we would go to, we would go to boys schools. We would go to boarding schools and sing there and have crushes on all the boys. Anne: Of course. Pilar: So in college I majored in theater and kept studying voice and did musical theater and just all kinds of things. Anne: But not necessarily voiceover, right? You're thinking -- Pilar: No, no, it was all, it was all musical theater or -- Anne: Musical theater. Pilar: Yeah. Anne: Because you sing too. That was the other threat. 'Cause I actually happened upon one of your social media posts the other day. And you were singing. So. Pilar: Yes, I'm really into like the -- so that's the thing. I was kind of born and raised on singing a capella because I would sing with my sister. We had a little duet going, and she would play with the guitar. Sometimes we would play the guitar and sometimes we would just do two voices. So there's this great app called acapella. And I loved just dubbed myself over and over again into like four part harmony. It's so much fun. So in college, I kept singing. I kept with these groups, and I majored in theater, came back to New York. And of course it's a different story now, you know, once you're looking for a job, and I thought, well, okay, I'll, I'll go the corporate route. And I worked for Harper's Bazaar -- Anne: Oh wow. Pilar: for -- yeah. For two and a half years. And I, I totally lived the Devil Wears Prada life. Anne: I was gonna say! Pilar: Oh yeah, all that stuff is true. Anne: In New York too. Pilar: In New York. So I, I was an assistant to an editor, and it was like, oh, what an experience that was. Anne: I can imagine. Pilar: Yes. Yeah. That that's a whole other, that's a whole other story. Then I went to, I moved to Nine West and I started working to helping in design shoes. And all throughout this time, I was taking acting classes because I thought, let me just keep that muscle going. Even though it just, it seemed so far away at the time. And I got laid off. I was the last hired, first fired. There was a whole financial shakeup, and I thought, okay, this is the time to start working on my acting. So I got my headshot and resume together, and I started going out on auditions. And in the meantime I got married. Anne: That's a lot happening. Seems like a lot happening -- Pilar: Yes. And I cleared my throat. Anne: -- short period of time. Pilar: Yes, absolutely. And I cleared my throat because that was a whole experience in itself. So I did theater. I actually, I did "A Chorus Line," and I was probably the only person -- I played Diana Morales, who was the Hispanic character. And she was the one who said, "and I felt nothing, simply nothing." It's such a great song. I love that song. Anne: Lovely. Pilar: I was the only one who could not do a double pirouette, but I got away with it. That's like a requirement for "A Chorus Line," but I could not do a double pirouette to save my life. And if you try doing it, you will fall over. I can tell you right now because I can't, I just, every time I've tried it, I just fall over. I think I did it once in my life, but that's it. So I did a couple of films. I did student films, and I did extra work on "One Life to Live" and "All My Children," and I think there was one called "Passions." Anne: Wow. Pilar: And so that I had so much fun because of course I used to watch those shows, and I used to watch "General Hospital" actually in college. Anne: Oh, of course. Who didn't? Pilar: Remember -- yeah, like, what was it the, uh, the, yeah, there were these scenes, which we can't even say on the air. Anne: I just read something about Luke, that they finally wrote him off. Pilar: Yes, yes, yes! The Luke and Laura scene. Do you remember the Luke and Laura scene? Anne: Yes. Of course, of course. Pilar: Everybody talked about that. Anne: There has to be a moment in time. Like that is, that is ingrained into like the moment in time, uh, television history. And is this what brought you in -- the telenova star? So is that leading us to that place or? Pilar: Yes, yes. Anne: Okay. Pilar: Absolutely. It is. I do have a point and I will -- Anne: No, no, I totally get it. Pilar: So I started seeing in New York that, you know, everybody was hustling, like I was, and I was doing extra work on like a film with Michael J. Fox. And I got to touch Arnold Schwarzenegger's jacket, but I was always, you know, background extra. And I thought, wouldn't it be great to work in a job that is kind of a 9 to 5? And I realized television is that. So I had that dream, and that's why I did the extra work, because I, you know, I wanted to see what was going on in those soap operas. So I separated, and I thought, okay, I'm done. I'm going to go to take a little vacation and go to where my extended family lives, in Colombia, in Ibagué. And I go, and I stay with my cousin, and the third night I'm there, we decide to go to a fortune teller, and fortune tellers are big in Colombia. And I've, I just, I love them. Like they're just so much fun. So I go to this fortune teller, and she reads the way I smoke a cigarette of all things. So she's looking at my ashes as I'm smoking a cigarette, she gives me a cigarette, I start smoking it. And she says to me, pack your bags, get ready because you're going to be really famous. Anne: Ooh. Pilar: And I was like, what? Anne: Who doesn't like to hear that? Pilar: I just, I, but I was so, you know, I was so like, you know, I was so -- I was depressed, and I was going through the whole divorce proceedings. I had been working for Morgan Stanley as an assistant. And, you know, that was just the, the world of finance. I didn't even understand -- Anne: Oh, from fashion to finance. Pilar: Yes, exactly. And then she says this to me, and I'm like, oh, maybe I'm going to be a shoe designer. Maybe I'm going to be the next, you know, Manolo Blahnik. And I was like, I can't, I couldn't imagine that one at all. So my cousin and I, we left and we just laughed it off. So I, I, so I stayed a couple of months, a couple of extra months, and I thought, well, maybe I could live in Colombia. So I go back to New York after three months, and I'm, I get my reel together. And I met a party at my parents' house, and there's this really good friend of my mother's. And she says to me, have you read the book, The Celestine Prophecy? It's by James Redfield. And I was like, no. So I read it. And it was a game changer for me. That's all I can say. It, it just completely changed my perspective. And I started thinking, well, maybe I could do this. Maybe I could work in television. And I had a very good friend of mine who was my vocal coach. And he kind of turned into my mentor, and he started telling me, he said, you know what? I want you to start visualizing what it would be like to stand in front of the camera. I want you to see what it would feel like, what the lights would feel like on you, what it would sound like, the people walking around you, how it would taste if like you were drinking something on set, what it would smell like, and what you would hear and what you, you know, all the five senses and really do like a little meditation about it. And I wasn't into meditation back then at all. But The Celestine Prophecy talks about that a little bit, a lot, actually. So I have my reel, I speak to a couple of networks. I write letters and there are two that are interested, and one of them says, okay, great. We are interested. We want to see you. So I packed my bags, and I pay for my ticket, and I go down to Colombia. Anne: So when you say you wrote the networks, okay. So that's a very broad description. So what specifically? 'Cause that's like, you're marketing yourself. I mean, you've been marketing yourself I feel since you were out of the womb. Right? So in reality, you're sending letters and what are you saying in those letters? Hey, I'd like to meet you? I have acting experience? Pilar: Yes. Anne: I'd like to meet you? Pilar: Exactly. Exactly. Actually you just said, I didn't even realize that, you just turned the button on for me. Anne: Yeah. Pilar: So I was constantly doing that without even realizing. Anne: Without knowing. Pilar: Yeah, because what I had was, it was just a letter with my real back then. It was VHS. Okay? Anne: Yup. Pilar: So I'm really dating myself, you know, saying I have this experience, I have this training, and I'd really like to do TV. And one of the things I learned a long time ago was you can talk about your strengths. There's no need to lie, but you don't have to say, I don't know how to do this. Anne: Sure. Pilar: You can say, I'm very eager to learn. I'm very eager to get into the business because I realized as I was going down there that yes, I had worked in television as an extra. I had worked in film by then. And so I understood how the camera worked. 'Cause it was -- we worked on an entire summer, over a period of weekends on a feature film. So I knew how it worked, but television is very different from film because it's like, boom, boom, boom, here's this scene, set it up, do the scene. And then you've got a whole bunch of other things to do. So it's a lot busier than film. So I didn't, you know, long shots, you know, close-ups, I was still very much of a newbie. So I basically just concentrated on what my skills were. And these two people, they kind of said, yes, you know, one of them said, there's a possible role for you. And the other one was like, okay, well we'll meet you when you come down here. 'Cause I realized I had to go down there. Like they weren't going to sit there and say -- Anne: Sure. Pilar: -- oh yeah, we'll hire you. So that's why I, I made the decision. I packed my bags, and I go. So I get to Colombia and I'm staying with a friend in Bogotá now. 'Cause now I'm staying in the capital. Before I had been staying in Ibagué where my family is from, and I call up the producer and uh, I make an appointment and I get there and I'm like, I'm, I'm really excited. And I'm like, okay, this is it. This is the start of something big. And I get there and she said, that show has been scrapped. And she points to her, this shelf and all the episodes are there. And she's like, that's been scrapped. They're writing a new show. You're going to have to audition for it. And there's nothing, you know, I don't, I don't have anything for you. Anne: Yeah. Pilar: So I'm like, oh my God. So what do I do? I start envisioning what my life is going to be like. So I start making like a little list. Okay. I need an apartment. I need a job. That's my most important thing. I need an apartment and I need a car. So the first thing I would do is that I would call her on a weekly basis, this producer, and I would say, hi, how are you? How's it going? And she knew immediately why I was calling. She like, I don't have anything for you. So I was like, okay, great. That's done. Then I started going out and looking at apartments in Bogotá of where I wanted to live. I mapped out, I walked around a lot. I, you know, I was, this was basically, I was friends were taking mirrors, going in taxis or I was walking, and I found an area that I wanted to live in. And so everybody posted their little -- they did newspapers, but they, you know, they would post it up on the window, and I would look and I would take a look, and I finally found one and I was like, oh my gosh, this is really great. Did the same thing with cars. I went to the car dealerships. I looked at all these cars, and I found the car that I wanted, and I keep calling this woman. And so once a week, and then one day she called me. Anne: Here's the thing. You must've had a good relationship with her if you actually spoke to her, right? Pilar: Yes, yes. Anne: Usually producers, if they're very busy, that somebody else is either taking their calls for them or screening their calls. So if you were actually able to talk to her, you must have had a great relationship, which I think that's a key factor. Pilar: We developed it. It wasn't something that just started out that way. I mean, I always went through her secretary first. Yeah. So it wasn't like -- this was something that developed on a regular basis, but I wasn't like stalking her -- Anne: Right. Pilar: -- or being obnoxious about it. Anne: Right, right, right. Pilar: I was just saying, hey, I just wanted to see. And because I was, you know, this was the lead -- Anne: Keeping top of mind. Pilar: Exactly. Anne: See how I'm -- we're transforming all of this into the current day marketing. Pilar: I love it. I love it. This is awesome. Anne: This is also staying top of mind with the producer. There you go. Pilar: Exactly. Top of mind. So she calls me and she says, I have something for you. And I'm like, oh my God, this is it. This is it. I get to the studio. It turns out it's one episode of a children's show. Anne: Okay. Pilar: And I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't live on this. Anne: Yeah. Pilar: What are you going to do? And I talked to the director, that director, and I kind of, we just started talking, and you know, she knew who I was and she said, oh no, no, no, no, no. You're still being considered for this new show. Don't worry about it because I actually -- just going back a little bit -- I had auditioned for the new show. So, so, okay. So she called me up and she said, I want you to audition for the show. I auditioned for the show. And then she calls me. She said, I have this for you. And it was a children's show. So I was like, oh no, what am I going to do? And she said, no, no, no, no. You're still -- the director for the children's show said, no, you're still being considered. Because this was much smaller than what it is today. You know, in the very first time I went and I auditioned, it was very different from the way I auditioned in New York. So, you know, in New York you get given sides and now you memorize it, but you, you're allowed to have it in your hand. And back there, you, you know, you definitely had to memorize the whole thing. And I was panicked and this guy helped me and it was great. A couple of other weeks go by. And then they call me in for a second audition and that's with the director. He was very stern. And I was really nervous. A couple of weeks later, she called me, and she said, you got the job. So all this work that I had been doing, I, you know, I'm shortening it. I had been looking for the apartment. I'd been -- Anne: You'd been having a vision and meditating -- Pilar: Exactly. Anne: And manifesting. Pilar: Exactly. So once I had all that ready to go, when the call came, and this is over a period of three months that this happened, I was like, okay, great. Now it's time. I can get the car, and I can get the apartment. I can rent the apartment out because now I, now I have somewhere to go because I have a job. Anne: Sure. Pilar: And so actually it was really funny. The head of the network called me, and I, I -- it's kind of amazing that I think about this now -- he called me and he said, I, I, I have to tell you that -- and he kind of called me apologetically. And he said, you're going to be really -- this character, you're gonna be really ugly, and you're going to be really nasty. Anne: All right. Pilar: So I was like, please, you know bring it on. Right? So we start filming, and it's a whole new experience. So I have to start from the beginning again, and I'm learning camera angles, and I'm learning how the business works. And the show comes out and literally, Anne, overnight -- the show comes out like let's say on a Thursday. And the last show that what they did is that they dovetailed the old show, which was one of the most well-known shows in the history of Colombian television. It was called "Café -- Café con Aroma de Mujer." they're redoing it now. And so then ours came in. So we had that huge audience, which had seen the show, and everyone had been glued to the television. And then they saw our show. Anne: Right. Pilar: And I was the first one who spoke on the show. It was really cool. Anne: And you were an ugly, horrible personality, right? Pilar: Exactly. I was just, I snarled, I was a snarler. And so it's kind of like a good luck thing. It's kind of like when somebody says that's a kind of a good luck thing in a film when somebody says the name of the film in a film, it's good luck. And in television, in Colombia, it's like the first person who speaks, that's a good little sign. It's like a good luck charm. So, so I was the first person who spoke, and then literally the next day, I was being recognized -- Anne: Wow, that's great. Pilar: -- on the street. Anne: That's fantastic. Pilar: It was the weirdest thing. And so I was like, oh my gosh, what that lady said was true, that fortune teller. Anne: Right? Pilar: A year before practically it came out. Yeah. It was over a year that she had said that. And I thought, this is so interesting. So basically I manifested my way into this job. Anne: Well, I love that. I think there's a lot to be said. I mean, I, it's a new year, you know, and, and I talk all about how being grateful and then really writing down and thinking and manifesting and about what your goals are. I really believe that it comes true. You actually incorporate the steps to make it true. And interestingly enough, notice how I kept noticing all the marketing things that you were doing, which you weren't even realizing at the time. You were developing a relationship. Right? You were keeping top of mind. You were setting goals in place so that you could achieve them to get where you needed to be. So, congratulations. I mean, that's, that's a great story. Pilar: Anne, where were you, where were you in my life? I wish I could have called you out, like brought you back from the future in. My life would be like, you know, but yeah, exactly. So I started working, and I basically did this over and over and over again -- Anne: Yeah. Pilar: -- because in Colombia, telenovelas only last a year. Anne: Oh, that's what I was just going to ask. How long did the show go on, a year? Pilar: Yep. So yeah, because it was actually a little bit more. We do, we did a lot of episodes. Anne: Is it a daily? Like a -- Pilar: Yeah, yeah. Anne: Okay. Daily for a year? Pilar: So it's a daily, but it's not because it's actually prime time. 'Cause it always came out in prompt time. So they're, they're not exactly soap operas. They're, they're like prime time soap, operas. Let's put it that way. That's what they call them. And really they're more like series. Anne: Yeah. Pilar: Because they're not, they have a beginning, middle, and an end. Anne: Got it. Pilar: They don't last for 20 years like they do here -- Anne: Yeah. Pilar: -- or 30 years. So, you know, there's a story. So, you know, it's like a poor girl meets rich guy. Then he does something to her, and then she makes it on her own. And then she's great. And then they live happily ever after, or there's a tragedy, you know, and so, you know, all kinds of different stories. And I got to play all kinds of different characters. I became known as the bad girl because I was one of many bad girls on that first show with, "Eternamente Manuela," and then I became this super duper evil person. And it's so funny because on Instagram -- Anne: On that show or on other shows? Pilar: No, on that show. Anne: Okay. Pilar: That's what really established me as the resident bad girl. They showed "Eternamente Manuela" after many years. And there're all these people on Instagram who were like, oh my gosh, that was you. You were such a bad girl. And they're constantly giving me snippets and stuff that I didn't see. It's so funny. 'Cause like when you're working, you don't have time to watch your own show. You just don't. That's one of the things that -- so I never saw the show, that the entire show. Anne: You have archives that you can post, or is it mostly your fans that are posting -- Pilar: It's a little bit of both. I have some that I post, but most of the time, they show me things, and I'm like, oh my gosh. And I remember filming it, but I don't remember, you know? So it's really fun. It's really great to like kind of like walk down memory lane. I was doing that a lot this past year. Anne: Yeah. That would make sense that you would be, if it's like a daily thing, and you're in and you're just working all the time, it would make sense that you don't always get to watch. It's like, interestingly enough, the VO BOSS podcast only has weekly episodes, but I don't always get a chance to listen to them after we produce them. So every once in a while, when I get a free moment in my car, I'll listen, and I'll be like, oh, okay. And it brings the memories back. Well, that's a pretty decent episode. Pilar: Yeah, exactly. And then you can look back and go, oh yeah. Right. That's interesting. Oh goodness. Anne: When we're in the middle of the manifestation, we're in the middle of the execution, right, you just have to give it up to faith that we're doing a good job and that our listeners and fans are drinking it all in and liking it. And if it were anything, otherwise they would let us know. So. Pilar: Exactly. Anne: Yep. Pilar: Exactly. Barrel along. Anne: All right. So you are a star, a telanova star. And are you doing any other, are you doing any other shows at this point, other than your daily series? Pilar: Well, I did the first show, then I go and I do a second show. And then my second show, I'm playing a gringa. So "hablo así, hablo muy trabada así, con un acento así." And I just, I had a ball. I dyed my hair blonde. I was a blonde. Anne: Wow. Pilar: I was a blonde, Anne. Anne: Wow! Pilar: Oh my gosh. Blondes do have more fun. I'm here to tell you blondes do have more fun. I had so much fun doing that show, and I did so much improvisation on that show. It was amazing. 'Cause I had the latitude. I would sing because I played this housewife who's being cuckolded by her husband who fell -- who falls in love with the lead. So I sit there and I sing away, and I start singing away in English. And it was so much fun to improv on that show because I could do it. And they would let me, 'cause I was playing an American who spoke Spanish. At the same time -- that was a nightly show -- at the same time, I was doing a series, which was an hour weekly. I got a wig. I got a wig for the show. And so I was this very -- the other woman, she had -- American with an accent. She had blue nail polish. She was, she was really cool. She was really modern, wore these little mini skirts. The other series, she was a recovering alcoholic. So she was very prim and proper lawyer. She had a little sort of Lulu Brooks brown haired bangs. And there were people who did not know that I was in both shows, and that was so much fun to do. So then I added that to the roster at the same time. Anne: So you're doing all TV at this point. Pilar: All TV, but here's the thing. I'm doing a lot of interviews. Anne: Makes sense. Pilar: The interviews, I love doing live interviews, but the way -- when I would have the most fun was when I was doing live interviews were when I was doing radio. I had so much fun doing radio interviews. So I always asked my agent -- like I really liked doing them because there was just something so much fun about the spoken word. So I, I keep doing these shows, and I, I had a band going where we would do these jazz nights every Friday night at this place. And I added theater. And at one point I was doing two shows and a musical. It was a Colombian musical. And so I was doing everything at once. And then at some point along the lines, I did an animated show. So they asked me to do an animated show. And so that, I got to do like a whole, that was a whole different world for me. And that's when I really kind of -- Anne: Started voiceover maybe. Pilar: Yes, that's when I started voiceover. Thank you. Anne: Yeah. Pilar: And um -- Anne: Sounds like voiceover to me. Pilar: And it, it was so much fun though. 'Cause it was different voices and I got to really play around with it. And since they didn't really know what they wanted, I got to do the voices. I got to give them voices. Anne: So let me ask you a question. Now you're doing an animated show, and you're doing voices. Had you in your acting, your previous acting experience or had you had opportunities to do voices or were you training so that you could create different voices for different characters for acting? Pilar: None whatsoever. Anne: Okay. So these were -- Pilar: No, no. Anne: -- just things that you just brought out to life and -- Pilar: They just asked me to do it. So I did. So they would say, well, let's try this. She's a little bit younger. So I would, I would do a younger voice. And so let's try this person 'cause they're this loud, obnoxious teacher. So I would do this loud, obnoxious teacher. Anne: Had you played around with voices -- Pilar: No. Anne: -- when you were young? Pilar: That's not true. My mother would say absolutely because I used to be -- I was a great mimicker from the time I was a kid. Anne: Got it, got it. Pilar: I had a very good friend of mine's mother was German. So I would speak with the German accent and you know, I hear nothign, I see nothing. Anne: Yeah. Pilar: I would -- I was a great mimic when I was a kid. Anne: You know what's so interesting. I just want to break in a little bit. Pilar: Yeah. Anne: Because I find that where we are in life today, a lot of people that, that kind of tend to follow their heart, follow their dreams end up doing a lot of the same things that they do when they're children. So if you're mimicking, right, when you're a child, like I taught my dolls and I was this teacher for 20 years in front of the classroom. And I do e-learning today. So it's just so interesting that things that I loved when I was a kid, I just brought right through to my, up to my adulthood and to what I bring to my work. So, you mimicking and probably you acted. Did you -- I put on little plays too. Pilar: I can so see you doing that, Anne. I don't know why. I can see you as like a little mini Anne with, with her little glasses -- Anne: As a mini Anne. Pilar: -- just kind of, sort of like a little, like a little chorus and kind of like conducting your dolls. Right? Anne: Yeah. I did. I loved it. I loved it. And I brought it right up. I still do that today. It's so interesting. I think if everybody looks back to their childhood, if they're following their heart or, you know, I always say following my gut. I do both. I do it in my business and in my personal life, I follow my gut, and I really believe that we bring those things from our childhood, and it brings me a lot of joy. I'm pretty sure it brings you joy too. Pilar: I agree. That's so interesting that you bring that up. I really, and truly -- I hadn't, I kind of knew that on an intellectual level, but if I, if I really feel it in my gut, that is absolutely where I get joy -- Anne: Yeah. Pilar: -- was from when I was a kid, and I would do that and I would make other people laugh. I would make my mother laugh all the time, you know? Anne: Yeah. Pilar: Wow. Anne: So then yeah, so now you've transitioned, or not necessarily transitioned, but you've added to your repertoire some animation and voiceover. Pilar: Yes. Anne: Wow. Pilar: Yes. Anne: Without even knowing it. Pilar: It was just, it was, it was there. The opportunity was there, because I lived in a -- Bogotá is a place where everything is together. That's not really the case anymore, but it used to be that Los Angeles where it was where you did film and television, New York was where you did more theater. Anne: Yeah. Pilar: And theater, yes. Theater, was in the 50's, there was more television. And then I don't know why or, or what I mean, and I don't know the history of this, but it just became more of a theater town, and you know, then, you know, slowly but surely, they started doing the studios in Queens, and then more film and television came, and now there's a whole bunch more voiceover. And there always was that, but I feel like LA was the big place for all that stuff. And so Bogotá kind of did -- had everything. So I had a lot more opportunity -- Anne: Interesting. Pilar: -- to, to kind of -- Anne: Broaden. Pilar: Yeah, yeah. Broaden my horizons that way. So I basically just went from show to show to show. I never really stopped. There was one show that I did. It was the last show that I got to play a bolero and ranchera singer. I was hired on the basis of, I actually did a, uh -- back in, I was on a, this thing called Restaurant Row in New York, Cabaret Row. It's called, Don't Tell Mama. And I did this show called, um, I can't remember what it was. It was, it was a revue. And I played this character called Nora the Dominatrix. There was this one song that I had to sing. And it was "you ache for the touch of my lips dear, but much more for the touch of my whips, dear. I can raise welts. Like nobody else, as we dance to the domination tango." Anne: Love it. Pilar: So it was, it was so hysterical. And I was, I was all decked out in this whole dominatrix costume. And that was a whole, I actually, to get the costume, when I lived in New York, I went to Patricia Field, which back then, which was on 8th Street. And I walked in and I had to look for like, like I was looking for, I didn't know what I was really looking for. And this one, beautiful, beautiful, tall transvestite comes and says, can I help you, dear? And she had this long blonde hair. And so I'm like, I have no idea what I'm looking for, 'cause I don't know what a dominatrix looks like. I'm supposed to dress like a dominatrix. So there's this woman and she's kind of mousy. She's got a long raincoat on, and she's looking around and the salesperson's helping me. And then she comes up to me and she says, what are you looking for? And I said, well, I don't really know what a dominatrix looks like. She said, I'm a dominatrix. And I look at her and I'm like, oh, and I'm like, do you mind if I get my pen and paper out? She starts telling me what a dominatrix does. She gave me all this information. So I get the outfit and, you know, dog collar, little short shorts, you know, the whole thing, the fishnet stock and a whip. Anne: Yup, yup. Pilar: So for the audition that I did for the, back to what we're talking about, for this show, I wore that whole costume, and they were like, you got the job. Anne: Yep. Pilar: So -- Anne: You walked in, you got it. Pilar: Exactly. And I'm wearing like a little, a little blonde wig. So I had to sing when it was my turn to sing and I don't know why this is, but it was, it was really kind of a unique situation. It was my responsibility. So I would hire these guys, which of course the network paid for. But I, I would hire these -- a mariachi band, and they would come to the studio, and we would sing this song or wherever. And then I would learn the song for that week. And so it was like a little performance. So it was like, I was doing like a little play within the show, and it was such a great experience because I didn't have much time. So I had to -- it was like learning copy. Anne: Sure. Pilar: It's like, I had to, I had to learn the song quickly and have it as if I -- Anne: And deliver. Pilar: And deliver. So it was like, it was all of what I'm describing was just great practice for what I do today. Anne: So now do you come back to New York after a certain amount of time? Or how long are you down in Colombia? Pilar: Nine years. Anne: Okay. Pilar: I'm in, I'm in Colombia for nine years. And so I do all these different things, and my father passed away in '99, and that's when I realized kind of wanted to be near my mother and my sister. But I'm thinking, I don't know if I want to go back to New York. I'd like to try something different. And I thought, well, and I'd always been in love with Miami, because it was so beautiful -- Anne: Yup. Pilar: -- and just like, Ugh. So I wanted to go to LA, but I was too scared. I was like, it's just too big. It's just, there's just too much. I thought, let me try Miami. It's another market. Let me see what it's like. Anne: All right. Pilar: So I get to Miami, I have cousins there and I, I live with them, and I'm like, well, you know, I've been a telenovella actress for the past nine years. I've got all this body of work. I'm set, and I get there, and I don't get one job for a year. And I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm starting again. Anne: And here starts your life in Miami. Pilar: Yeah. Anne: And actually this is a good segue for part two. Part two. So yeah. So we're going to be continuing the story, which is a very interesting story, because I can draw so many parallels to see how you've evolved, how you've grown, and it really draws so many parallels to the voiceover industry and how you can grow as an artist anywhere really, whether you're doing voiceover acting, in television, theater on the stage; it really is such a wonderful, I guess, reveal, Pilar, of your career and how we can, we can learn from that.

Intro.(1:39) - Start of interview.(2:15) - About UC Hastings and the Center for Business Law [that we are building together!](5:10) - Jared's "origin story": he grew up in Michigan, attended the U. of Michigan (BA political science) and Columbia Law School (JD). A book on the bankruptcy of Marvel Comics led him to bankruptcy law and practice. After graduation he joined Brown Rudnick in NYC ('07-'11). He later joined academia as a Teaching Fellow and Lecturer in Law in Corporate Governance & Practice at Stanford Law School ('11-'14). He joined the UC Hastings Faculty in 2014.(9:38) - Start of discussion about his latest article The Rise of Bankruptcy Directors: "Traditionally bankruptcy is about a court process, not a board process." But his research shows that the boardroom increased its prominence in bankruptcy starting in about 2012-2013, where many distressed companies, especially those controlled by private equity sponsors, prepared for bankruptcy by appointing independent directors (which they call "bankruptcy directors") to their boards of directors with the power to make key bankruptcy decisions.(13:03) - On the new cohort of "bankruptcy directors" and the parallels with venture capital and Silicon Valley [Their dataset consists of the boards of directors of 528 firms and the 2,895 individuals who collectively hold 3,038 directorships at firms in bankruptcies from 2004-2019]: "The change is that a practice that was once relatively uncommon has become ubiquitous and a central and standard part of the process of preparing for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, leading to the growth of an industry of professional bankruptcy directors who fill this new demand for bankruptcy experts on the board of distressed firms."(15:08) - On the question of fiduciary duty of loyalty and conflicts of interests of bankruptcy directors (particularly regarding the private equity controlling owners) and the emergence of "super-repeater directors".(16:38) - The example of the Nine-West bankruptcy.(21:34) - Whether bankruptcy judges will incorporate some standards such as those used (for example) by the Delaware Chancery Court on the independence of directors, board conflicts and the decision-making process of the board.(23:02) - On his finding that unsecured creditors recovered 21% less when a bankruptcy director is appointed. On the lucrative new bankruptcy director role.(26:04) - On his proposal that the court regard bankruptcy directors as independent only if creditors support their appointment.(29:03) - "The elevation of the board is an important (new) trend in the bankruptcy process." "The Board is going to play a more central part in bankruptcies."(31:52) - On the current growth of the economy and deal-making despite pandemic, and projected bankruptcies. "It's caught all of us by surprise." "It just shows you that Washington can change the rules on Wall Street on they want to." On the Hertz bankruptcy.(34:49) - His thoughts on the next trends in bankruptcies: "I think we are going to continue to see the democratization of the bankruptcy process." "Bankruptcy is less of a black box today and retail investors are becoming bigger players (the participation of normal people in Chapter 11 is a trend that we are going to see continue."(36:46) - On bankruptcy forum shopping. "This issue goes back to the 1990s, and we will continue to see a concentration of bankruptcy cases in the hands of a few judges."(38:53) - On his advocacy to increase the number of bankruptcy judges (in response to Covid-19).(40:17) - The books that have greatly influenced his life:Comic Wars (2002), by Dan Raviv.The Strategy of Conflict (1981), by Thomas Shelling.The Selfish Gene (1990), by Richard Dawkins.Germs, Guns and Steel (1997), by Jared Diamond.(41:30) - His mentors:J.David Singer, Professor at U. of Michigan.Jeffrey Fagan, Professor at Columbia Law School.Edward Morrison, Professor at Columbia Law School.Robert Stark, Brown Rudnick.Michael Klausner, Professor at Stanford Law School.George Triantis, Professor at Stanford Law School.Kenneth Ayotte, Professor at Berkeley Law School.(43:23) - His favorite quote: Benjamin Disraeli on William Gladstone: "He had only one idea, and it was wrong.”Jared A. Ellias is a Professor of Law, the Bion M. Gregory Chair in Business Law and the Faculty Director of the Center for Business Law at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco.

Creative Flow And Meaningful Designs. Almost 15 years ago, Pamela Love began making jewelry in her Brooklyn apartment. The one-time film student was once a stylist, a vintage clothing curator, and famously assisted the prolific painter Francesco Clemente. Deeply inspired by her time with him and by their friendship, it’s a little-known fact that to this day, she still mixes his paints for his commissioned portraits. Learning color from Clemente contributed to her restrained yet robust sense of and taste in color, which is evident in her aesthetic and designs. In a market filled with jewelry brands, Love has always been known for unique, distinct design and her intelligent and elevated point of view. Always with her hand firmly on the pulse of style, Pamela Love puts out pieces steeped in symbolism that mean more for the wearer. And she’s collaborated with the best brands…from Opening Ceremony to Nine West, and many more. On this podcast, we talk about her exciting new piercing collection, the store she opened in Paris, her tarot and meditation practices, mall culture and her creativity as a kid in Florida, the business versus creative side of her brand, how she’s fallen in love with clay and ceramics, her book, her sources of inspiration, and the importance of settling into her day to make room for creativity to flow.

Automated Transcription of the show Transcript Jason: [0:24] Welcome to the Jason and Scott show this episode is being recorded on Thursday October 24th 2019 I'm your host Jason retailgeek Goldberg and as usual I'm here with your co-host Scot Wingo. Scot: [0:37] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason Scott show listeners, Jason I've been firmly planted here in North Carolina lately but I understand you've been traveling around a lot and one of the places I'm super jelly that you got to go to is Apple's new flagship tell tell us about that experience. Jason: [0:57] I sure sucks. So this is the Fifth Avenue Apple Store in New York city so this was one of the first kind of. Architectural a distinct stores that Apple opened. And I I would I shouldn't remember what year it opened that I don't so it was called the cube so you know it was an underground store but above the ground they built this giant glass cube, with the floating Apple logo in it and you you kind of walk in and you either take a glass elevator or walk down this glass stairway into this underground store and the store has been closed for, probably a year while they were remodeling it and they opened it. Just in time for the iPhone 11 launch so I wasn't there on the launch day but I was there the next week and got a chance to check it out. Scot: [1:50] Wrinkle does it have that or they caught Town Hall kind of I would like the big wall in them. Jason: [1:57] Yeah it does it it is there new. Format the sort of city format so it has live trees in it it has a big Auditorium where they have a lot of educational content. This is already a quite large door and that it dramatically expanding in size so it's, it's a very big store one of the you know the old one was underground and it was all artificial lighting one of the things they did this time as they installed a bunch of. Fancy skylights so you know skylights throughout the roof and they all have light meters on them so the ambient light in the store, adjust to how bright the sky lights are so when it's bright outside the store is almost you know fully sunlit, but at night or on on overcast days there's more to ambient Lighting in the store so it's sort of a clever. [2:56] Fancy system I check a little bit because the this was the first store to have the glass staircase and that that's become a signature item for apple and then this door it was quite, controversial that the staircase is super expensive to build, and then a couple years after they opened it they had to remodel it and they upgraded the staircase and I don't know if you remember this but at the time like, the vendor took out the old staircase and through the stairs away in dumpsters outside of. [3:29] The store and entrepreneurial Apple Fans when dumpster diving collected these. These individual stairs from the glass stairs and sold them on eBay for quite a lot of money and. Scot: [3:45] I'm not forget dumpster dive to make some money. Jason: [3:48] Apple is really well I'm glad you didn't because Apple was really pissed and they they liked sued everyone that had one and tried to get them back and they like famous with, fire the vendor that did the work and you know if it became this Big Brand thing the Apple didn't want these like. This old Remnant from their store out on the market today it felt like a ginormous over reaction to a. You know some fans like like loving the Nostalgia of Apple but I will say it rains and snows a lot of New York and it was super impractical like all these people with wet shoes. Walk into the super slippery glass stairwell and the first thing Apple had to do like the first week they open the store is they had to hire a full-time guy with a mop. Just to be like constantly cleaning the stairwell and overtime with Abate they did is they threw in the towel and they they had like rubber, covers, did they would have over the glass stairwell for you know the winter season and so when I went back the first thing I was interested in it was that you at the stairwell and they totally gave up on the glass stairwell and it's now metal steps with like. Like a traction on it and stuff and I I imagine to myself that that was a about a piece of value engineering that they could only do after Steve Jobs have passed because I don't think he would have never accepted that. Scot: [5:16] How pedestrian metal stairs I would never go in that store. Jason: [5:19] Yet still at school the story is beautiful but I would not say it like. Move the ball forward in any meaningful way like it it uses all of the the traditional Apple gestures it feels very much like any of their other more modern Flagship stores and it's, it's quite big but there's nothing that you can get at that store that you can get at dozens of other Apple Stores and bigger equals. More of the same stuff not necessarily new stuff so in general like based on the amount of hype they had around the store I would call it slightly overwhelming it's a perfectly fine store there's nothing wrong with it but. It wasn't as I don't know evolutionary over previous stores as I had hoped. Scot: [6:07] You mean underwhelming you said overwhelming. Jason: [6:09] Oh gosh yes I apologize exactly meant underwhelming one kind of cool thing, yeah because some of the the new products that the what's it called the homepod is meant to be a sort of an audio file, Calibre product like they do hit now have like a. Like I so living room and then in an enclosed whistling space where you can kind of walk into a a little living room with a leather couch that's a little reminiscent of these. Magnavox ads from the 80s and you know listen to the airpod in a in an enclosed room instead of just on one of their wooden tables. And there's a secret exit I guess is the other interesting thing now so if you do. Scot: [6:55] What. Jason: [6:57] Yeah so if you you know there's a tourist entrance which is this stairwell and they're often is a line to get the bag down the stairs and into the store and it it's cool but it's kind of inconvenient answer they now have a like a. 10 of a discrete stairwell and a side entrance that you can like if you're local and needed to grab something you could pop in and out without going through the tourist entrance. So that's mine my scoop on Apple Fifth Avenue. Scot: [7:26] Any other trip reports to of what you've seen out there. Jason: [7:31] Also on that trip I visited some other New York retail that we talked about the Nike House of innovation store before and I want to go back cuz I've been there during the grand opening and to their true that they've done a month they continue to evolve that store and they actually had a pretty cool exhibit on the ground floor so. They have a a new like cushioning technology that they're promoting that uses thousands of little beads in the shoes. And so they they built kind of like I don't know what the best way to call it like almost like like one of those ping pong ball pits. [8:11] That you that you know kids would play in they built a giant caged pit, were the entire floor is this cushioning technology and then they figured out a way to project a digital image on the entire floor so they have things like. You know I cash a fake colored balls thing where you can run around and kick balls around and try to pop balls they're all virtual balls but it causes you to jump up and down on this floor a lot and you can you know you have all these bites. Different sort of instagrammable physical moments and you know people were in New York were in line to sort of get their picture taken in this so I kind of cool novel. Digital physical experience and. In the way you got in line is you had to be a nikeplus member and be running the app in the store and only then could you get in the queue so I thought that was kind of a clever experiential elements. To add to the to the Nike store and Nikes leaning heavily into forcing you to be a nikeplus member and having a lot of self-service mobile experiences in the store so this this kind of perfectly played into all of those things. Scot: [9:26] Lyrical will this episode of the Jason Scott show aside from the the trip reports is really focused on we're going to do some non Amazon news so you're where we have been Curry Amazon a lot here lately so wanted to catch up on some non Amazon news then we've also had a fair number of Wooster questions kind of TWP out on our Facebook page for we've had a pretty good discussion going so Jason watch on the new side. Jason: [9:53] So the first news item was sort of saving for our holiday show it's already starting to come up a few times so I thought I would that we needed to briefly mention it here. The way the calendar works this year. Thanksgiving falls on the latest calendar day it possibly could which means there are six fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Then there were last year and the reason I bring this up is, a lot of retailers are going to tell you you know that if they're their sales are soft at all it was because they had fewer selling days to sell this year and it already came up in the Amazon earnings call which was today, in a couple of other retailers have already issued cautionary tales that they have 6 who is selling days. And maybe we'll talk about this little bit more in a in a holiday took a show but, what are listener should know is that there's no science to the fact that when there's fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas that consumers spend less for holiday so like. [11:01] Back in the 1950s holiday shopping started on Thanksgiving and went through Christmas but for the last several decades holiday show shopping and started in the very beginning of November and went through Christmas. And there are still the same 61 days. Between November 1st and Christmas and New Year's at that there have always been in so like what tends to happen is when there are fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Purchases get compressed more and then there's less of a lowlands in shopping between the. Thanksgiving holiday in the Christmas cut off but I just want to sort of pre-plant listeners cuz we're already starting to see articles. Almost all of the retail data supports the fact that the number of days between Thanksgiving and Christmas doesn't have a material impact on. Holiday sales so when you hear that be skeptical it's a little like when retailers by in the weather. Scot: [12:01] She just took away the everyone's excuse for a bad holiday. Jason: [12:04] Yeah yeah sorry about that but like I feel like there should not be an excuse like everyone should have a good holiday. Unless something wacky happens with tariffs between now and then. I would seems unlikely so more newsy is so now get off my soapbox more Newsies stuff this week there was a new launch of a, a very boring Lee names product called the EMV, SRC in EMV is the name of a joint venture that MasterCard Visa Discover Card Diners Club. And a couple other companies started so it's a joint venture of all the credit card companies and SRC stands for secure retail checkout. So they watch the new product this week and, longtime listeners will remember that most of the credit card companies tried to wash their own check out services so there was a thing called check out by Visa there's MasterCard check out and these guys all wanted their home button on your Ecommerce checkout page, to have a alternative checkout flow. That was provided by the credit card company and they wanted to store your credit card instead of having the the retailer store the credit. [13:22] And they all have kind of you know what those products died they were never very successful customers number adopted them until they have now launched a new initiative, which has the same same sort of goals but it's not branded for an individual credit card it's it's branded as. Click and buy and it's you know in it it obviously works with any of the the credit cards and so it's an alternative checkout flow that's really designed that compete with PayPal. And today they announced their first three retailers head had launched and I think those retailers are Rakuten. November which is a donation site for a charity and one of the movie theaters at had launched and so this is. In theory an easier faster more secure way for for customers to check out and if you store your credit card in it on one side. And you could use that store credit card and any other site that use this flow and they so they've made the flow available for free and it's open so. And I think it's kind of lame. Scot: [14:34] Zoe has a big setup for it being line. Jason: [14:37] Yeah well so it's a step in the right direction when I get weight makes way more sense that they have to have a joint product in the each try to have their own product I used to call that. NASCAR in the checkout where you know all these different companies wanted to put their logo on your check out. So now you know it's Consolidated down to one there absolutely is a customer benefit like if you know the customer would love to be able to store their payment information in one secure place, and then be able to use it in any of the places they shop so if a bunch of retailers all adopted this checkout flow. It would save customers time cuz they could go to a new retailer that they never shopped at before and still not have to type their. They're shipping address and payment information because it would be stored in the the EMV SRC. So that makes sense and I think it's a smart play for for the company is to consolidate but here's my problem. [15:33] The people that should be the best in the world at a checkout form should be the credit card companies and they should you know follow all the best practices and make it as a little friction as possible and therefore isn't that great bike it's very kind of. A pedestrian middle-of-the-road checkout with a lot of practices that we now know aren't the best. They make you type every individual field for address and you know we know it works way better to have a single feel than and use like a a Maps API to do a autosuggest. You know it just it's surprising they didn't have a great check out for a while and then like PayPal. They make it kind of redundant so the way that these first retailers implemented it. You have to type your shipping address. Before you select your payment method so you don't have the benefit of this service should be that you don't have to take your shipping address but the retailers are making you type your shipping address before you get to the payment method so. To me that was just kind of disappointing. [16:40] So we'll see we'll see if it get some adoption or they do a Gentoo and try to you know I'm sure they're all listening to this and you know we'll take my advice. Which I will happily give them for free so a couple other little news Tibbetts that I promise will be shorter. Best Buy hasn't has announced that they're moving to one day delivery for e-commerce so you know obviously, Amazon send big ripples in the industry by doing one day delivery in Walmart quickly announced they would match and Target matches by using, store delivery and so now you know we see another big player Best Buy feeling like they're forced to go to one day delivery which I'm sure is going to be. A very expensive thing for Best Buy to implement so that's interesting seeing seeing more retailers follow suit there. Today is actually a big day in New York retail, there's there a Nordstrom store has been a flagship store has been playing there for a couple years and it just open today so Nordstrom open the men's store a little over a year ago in New York and now they have a you know like one of the best examples of there. Their women store available in New York City and I know that. The New York retail trade press was shopping at store today and I'll head that very favorable comments about the first day. Scot: [18:04] Cool I saw an article that said your Nordstrom was doing all this stuff to improve the brand and into Wall Street just kind of young and I think the Stock's been down about 25% year-to-date whatever they're doing hasn't been seem to get traction. Jason: [18:21] Yeah I mean like for a while the the growth had been in the discount stores which it for Nordstrom is Nordstrom Rack in the main light stores have been lagging and that you know they finally had to conceive the day the discount stores were cannibalizing the main line stores and you know opening 1 new story isn't likely to really move the needle this is like by all accounts has a great store it's a risky store because like vemos. Retail saturated Market in the world for sort of luxury department stores is New York City and you know that most of their competitors have, how much longer relationship with with the New York Shopper so, for for local New Yorkers it's going to be interesting to see whether whether Nordstrom is able to entice them, I see a lot of shopping in New York happens from Taurus and Nordstrom has a good brand so, I by no means think it's it's not going to work but I kind of think this could be become Nordstrom's best store and it still isn't going to be. You know a huge economic windfall you know happy story in the stock goes through the roof. [19:37] Diametrically opposed one of those historic New York department store brands Barneys has been in bankruptcy for a while and we are all waiting to see if they were going to, be able to emerge from bankruptcy with some sort of restructuring or they were going to liquidate or what the story was. You know Barney's is a strong luxury department store brand in New York Bike there you know heavily feet up. Featured in the The Sex in the City TV show. And you answer a lot of New Yorkers had a strong affinity for the brand. And then out today that they are not going to be able to restructure so they they sold all the assets to a company called authentic brand Group which is a we often Call ABG. I'm an ABG the holding company that owns the licenses to a bunch of. Mostly failed retailer so it's like the Nine West and Nautica and Frederick's of Hollywood and they license out the the. [20:45] The intellectual property for these these Brands to operators that want to run stores and so they it seems like the intention is to close all the bunnies doors except one in Boston. And they have already announced that they have a customer that they're going to license. The brand asset to and that customer is Hudson Bay Company which owns Saks Fifth Avenue so. Yeah Saks and Barneys would have been you know direct bitter competitors for a long time and you know it. Clear how they're going to use it yet but like in some way Saks Fifth Avenue is going to try to Leverage The Barney's brand which is. Interesting but almost certainly bad news for all the. The employees working in the in the Barney stores and you know people that like had a particular affinity for the bunnies experience. Scot: [21:36] How many Barney stores are there again. Jason: [21:38] Yes I was afraid you were going to ask me that and. Scot: [21:41] Have a uncanny Central would get one of our interns to work on it while I'm fucking in a. Jason: [21:46] Yeah if we ever had like notes or or like rehearsals or something like that would be super helpful under 10 I want. Scot: [21:54] We do rehearse every show three times so I don't don't get blisters confused by by the don't make it seem like we don't prepare for this thing. Jason: [22:02] Got you in my head I want to say at 7 stores so it's not a huge number of stores the a few of them ended up being inserted wackadoodle places like they open the wheel Las Vegas store. Scot: [22:17] They're pretty big. Jason: [22:18] Yeah it was their big beautiful stores. Scot: [22:21] Macy's size in my brain 20000 square feet. Jason: [22:23] Yeah but they were like no I think they're like considerably larger like 230,000 square feet. Scot: [22:33] This could be good from all again or bad depends on your perspective. Jason: [22:39] Yeah so I think they are like they are an anchor in a couple of miles but there's like something you know that the Manhattan stores were mostly freestanding stores their first non Manhattan store was like a Chicago store from the 90s I think they have a good store in Beverly Hills they actually there's two me a doom the mall trying to open in New Jersey it's called American dream and it's it's owned by the same people that own Mall of America and they've been trying to open the small for like 20 years and it's supposedly, can a partially open this month but guess who the the tenant retail anchor was supposed to be in that mall. Scot: [23:21] Barney's. Jason: [23:23] You got it so that's where obviously not happening so that's a yet another setback for for those guys I'm sorry not rooting against them but it just seems like that. A little bit of a wackadoodle concept in the current market it so definitely you know sad, to see Barney's go it'll be interesting to see what sax does with the brand you know sex is on kind of turnaround of their own trying to change their fortune and so, you know I think there's a lot of evidence that. When's red algae that does not work is to take to distress Brands and add them together so Kenny Mart plus years was not significantly stronger than Sears alone so what will see if if Saks and Barney's have a different approach. Scot: [24:15] Doesn't that don't sound terribly promising. Jason: [24:18] I'm super negative on these news items today I should have found some happier news. Scot: [24:22] You're grumpy Jason forgot grumpy Jason tonight. Jason: [24:24] Yeah also it's not a good week to be a retail brand CEO it seems like they're all losing their jobs. Scot: [24:31] Yeah and it's not entirely clear so an interesting one is both the Nike and UnderArmour CEOs have switched over. Nike + it's not entirely clear what's going on the lot of them site you know kind of standard just want to spend more time with family and all their stew lot of rumors that there's a lot of meat you kind of stuff happening out there that. You know that this is one reaction that I have no idea if that's true or not, eBay's CEO left in September that was kind one of the first ones and he just had a disagreement with a board board I want some start kind of dismantling eBay and if he wants all the parts to stay together so they the CFO took over there but I mention eBay because the new CEO of Nike is John Donohue who was the previous to Devin winning CEO of eBay, from eBay for SAS software business called servicenow and now he's running Nike, the new CFO is currently running until Under Armour I think president of the US took over on a reminder. Jason: [25:44] Yeah internal promotion what's a little interesting they're like I think you're right on Nike so 890 had phenomenal economic performance and Nike Revenue probably doubled during Mark Mike Parker's rain in Nike so that one didn't feel, like financial performance-related and there was a lot of controversy around. Like they're not being a lot of gender diversity in the senior management team at Nike and you know some sunlight you know not very good policies for treating female athletes in Nike inside I don't know if the cumulative effect of all of that was the deal or if he just chose to leave like Tiana I haven't heard any strong rumors on Nike but it almost certainly wasn't financial performance and Nikes case because they were you know they're frankly doing really well Under Armour has struggled more and what's interesting there is like the biggest rival for Under Armour has been the North American market and so you know now that the founder Kevin plank steps down I think he still the chairman of the board ebony step down from the day today and the guy they promote is the president of North America which is the market that that has been struggling so interesting and nothing else. Scot: [27:02] So that wraps up the news for show there was one thing I wanted to mention the news so I think one of the most under-reported and discussed in the industry Market places that I'm excited about I is the Google marketplace now they don't call it that I think that's part of the problem that the the way they articulate this to sellers what I would call sellers Merchants if they call it, Google shopping actions which is a terrible name and then for consumers you you can see it called by on Google the spin around 4 about two years if I recall and it's been on this kind of slow boil and what's, reason I mention it in the new section is here today right before we got on I got a email from Google shopping saying they were having a flash sale that's like you can't have a flashlight but look at what they've done is they've gone to all the the sellers that are in the buy on Google program, I'm in first while they've upgraded the program where I was able to use it on my iPhone and my Apple browser, I'm on my desktop and it's much easier to use than a then it has been in previous iterations work Sky Android only intact and to kind of like the Google Play permissions in and. [28:23] Payment methods do you have set up so it's really good experience so we'll put a link in the show notes to the splash page and I was able to get $40 off of a pair of iPods that had my eye on the new generation of some older ones so I was just blown away by The Experience got a really nice one page checkout the shipping was very Amazon asking that is Snappy so you know there's there's we talked about on the show about how Amazon's ads are really threatening Google looks like Google's waking up to this and I'm cautiously optimistic that this Mark this kind of by on Google it is a pretty interesting new and trending Marketplace world and I would encourage our our books to maybe this experiment without as a holiday item I think it's relatively easy to turn on if you already have you know you can go to Google shopping list. Jason: [29:22] Yep and it correct me if I have this wrong but in my mind this is sort of the successor to what used to be called Google Express rides are there there's both of delivery service but there was a, Google Express shopping portal where they aggregated all the items that work, being sold by Google Express and now they have this new portal which is shopping. Google.com which Aggregates all the sellers that are using the the. Google shopping actions tools to sell products on the Google platform is that am I thinking about that right. Scot: [29:59] Yesterday so they had two actions separate then they kind of had it inside of Express then Express kind of as we. As you know it kind of went away and now they're kind of gotten rid of that brand this far as I understand so they've gone through kind of like four or five iterations here that have been. Part of the reason I don't think a lot of people are talking about this is it it is very confusing but now I just want experience I went through was actually really good reggae email and it said there's a flash sale prices were really good it seems like Google was supplementing them took me to a page that was, coherence and really only shop on Google items that the only other thing I've noticed is you can now if you do a search result Uber Google shopping I get an Amazon Prime like filter which says you know hey show me only the buy on Google items that are in this market place and what's nice about that is you know it's got a cart metaphor so I don't have to go to 6 different retailers websites to buy stuff and and then the flash sale is nice because it also has a bunch of additional discounts to really nail the user experience it still think they need to do a lot on The Branding but I think. This is good cuz I can Foundation we have the right pieces in place to go do some Brandon that would make sense. Jason: [31:20] Yeah I know and it definitely seems like Google is fully committed to figuring shopping out and it makes sense that they would cuz obviously you know there's a lot of chatter about Amazon stealing ad revenue from Google news so you know if your, if your Google it would make sense that you'd want to have a viable shopping experience to try to protect that Revenue. Scot: [31:43] Absolute cool that wraps up our news part of program and let's jump into some listener questions. Jason: [31:57] Questions their questionnaire questionnaire questions. Scot: [32:02] Jason you know I don't, I feel like I've put my thumb on the scale or something but mostly questions are actually in your realm so I'm going to we're going to go into an interview style here. We usually like to alternate but really miss these are in your room so jump into a man and you're going to be the guy answering most of them so the first question comes from longtime listener frequent guests Michelle Grant and she says Amazon and Walmart have both have patents around predictive shipping could you speculate on what impact predictive shipping will have on Commerce we mentioned it in episode 187 but she'd like to get more details. Jason: [32:41] Oh. Now I have to try to remember what we said in 187 better than Michelle remembers it and that light. Scot: [32:47] You said you were the world's leading expert on it is Farrakhan. Jason: [32:50] Yeah I trust Michelle's memory a lot more than I trust must be haven't heard about predictive shipping before like super literally it's this notion of another way to call it would be in Tissa Batory shipping to say like hey using big data and your typical trans I assume you're about to run out of peanut butter so I'm going to send you a new jar of peanut butter and if I'm right and you needed peanut butter great you keep the peanut butter and I'll charge your account for it if I'm wrong here's some super easy way to return in the peanut butter and you won't be charged for it so. [33:34] It's a specific version of a broader category of experiences that I'll call Auto replenishment right and you know Auto replenishment to me is this notion that, today my shopping is very inquisitive like if you need peanut butter, you either go online find the right peanut butter added to your card and buy it or you drive your store find the peanut butter and and pay for it but you you had to take a bunch of overt actions to get that peanut butter and increasingly in the future there going to be a lot of products that you're going to get implicit lie without having to take all those steps and so, the ways you might get an implicit product or it might be predicted we ship to you which is what Michelle was specifically asking about. [34:21] You might have a webcam in your kitchen that's keeping this noticing how much you use peanut butter and ordering pink peanut butter for you when you when you need it kind of like a video version of Amazon Alexa. You might have a smart trash can that notices what packages you throw away and automatically reorder them. You might have a fridge that let you very easily tell it when you use the last of the milk or the eggs or something and increasingly you might have a bunch of. Internet-enabled devices that know when they're out of their consumables right so already you can have a water filter pitcher that knows when it needs a new filter in orders that you can have a dishwasher that orders more soap when it needs it, and so you know there's a. Using all of these techniques that iot devices the smart kitchen and the predictive shipping there's a significant amount of purchases that we that we have to explicitly do today that will probably happen in puts Italy in the. The not-too-distant future incident. [35:26] Specifically answered Michelle's question I think the cumulative effect of all of this Auto replenishment can have a huge pronounced effect on retail, so so I've had my team do some sort of. Studies on you know what percentage of products in a typical Walmart store for example. [35:51] Would be suitable for auto replenishment and in the answer is it ends up being about 40% of the skews in a Walmart are things that you could. Reasonably expect to be fulfilled via Auto replenishment, and so imagine the world was calling five years from now when you never go to the store to get toilet paper or paper towels or peanut butter because through one mechanism or another all those things. Show up when you need them at your house suddenly the Walmart store is 40% too big and. [36:26] A bunch of the reasons that you had to go to a store have gone away so the number of visits that you have to that store, have gone away in the amount of Isles you're going to walk in that store that are you know potentially going to cause you to serendipitous we discover new products and impulse items, have gone away and so the you know we talked in most markets that like if you can change the market by 10 or 15%. That really is an inflection point that can dramatically change the whole market and so if. Auto replenishment can get to 40% like that that would be. A pronounced change in retail and the way I like to talk to retards about it the way I think about it is you know I used to spend a lot of time at Best Buy. The 40,000 square foot store 10,000 square feet of that store where designed to sell these things that came on plastic circles called music. [37:26] And people would buy a new music in some cases every week so you might visit a Best Buy store 50 times to buy music and you probably only shop for a TV every 2 or 3 years. [37:37] Because you come to that store every week, you have to walk by the TVs and when you're ready to buy a TV. Most likely buy it from Best Buy so what happens in the world when no one buys plastic circles anymore and you all download your music on Spotify. [37:50] Suddenly the 40,000 square-foot Best Buy store is 10000 square feet too big and has a huge economic problem and then Best Buy's case. They they really struggled with what to do with that Gap that was both the traffic driver and you are significant, square footage in their store they tried a bunch of things today what they mostly do is outsourced that space they sublease that space so Apple buy some of that space Samsung buy some of that space, Microsoft buy some of that space and they sort of have a Bazaar of of a brand funded displays that I have taken up that space and they've done some different things to, replace the traffic they provide lawn services there now weaning into Health Smart Home all these different things but none of the things were completely successful at replacing the traffic that that CDs wants gave to Best Buy and you know it's very possible that grocery stores and you know major Mass merchants will go through this same same Quagmire where where they'll have to figure out you know changes to their business model to accommodate the fact that they're certain kind of products that we're just not likely to, explicitly shop for at some point in the future do you buy my version of the future at all. Scot: [39:11] I do you know the thing I would add and eating you do a, ask it what you talked you do where you talk about this where you wouldn't when you just drive it people may be saying you know that's really weird like stuff I haven't ordered shows of my house that's weird but what I think happens is where I need to loosen up to that little bit and use the example of you know 10 years ago people would say never get in the car the stranger now we press a button on her phone and do it all the time ride sharing apps and don't think twice about it if people put all their food on Instagram and stuff thanks to her behavior changes faster than we give it credit for and how do you say example of Stitch fix right so there's there's millions of subscribers to stitch fix that are used to the cycle of I get a box of stuff and I return pretty good chunk of it and I keep some I think that's the kind of the format it would take is you imagine you get all use Amazon cuz that's my I go to you say yes imagine you just kind of get this weekly box from Amazon and in there, you keep 60 70% of it and then Amazon's coming to your house so much in your neighborhood so much they don't mind picking up a bunch of stuff I hate you get back convenience factor without way you would you would really think of it as wasteful I think a lot of people kind of look at in the weather be super wasteful cuz it's actually more efficient. [40:29] Put more stuff in that box and it's Greener if you could be, the math of that in an Amazon you could actually pass a bunch of shipping savings to you as well when you stay so I didn't hear you say is just a simple one and I think the Amazon patents kind of Simply around one of the times I saw was around you know frequently people in my house on my Amazon account will throw things in the car and just kind of like leave it there for their fries and they won't check out to Amazon could preemptively ship stuff like that to you know so or if you spent a fair amount of time on an item page and items under their not to do that with a high consideration product like a digital camera but you know what say you're you're you know you're looking at a pair of shoes they can go ahead and ship you two or three sizes that shoe knowing you'll probably take one and you were probably going to do that exact same real kind of return pattern anyway if they've shipped that with a bunch of other stuff already on its way it kind of Ride Along Ride Along quote a quote for free or for very little, there's just kind of like science fiction where all the devices are ordering for you but there's kind of simpler stuff we can do in the interim to get there. Jason: [41:39] Oh for sure and I would even say it like, there's lots of signal the retailer can use to inform that prediction and you met you know the browsing signals that you mention the the stuff left in car that the actual purchase history but, like let me give you a scenario that's even easier so what happens when Kroger buys a popular app for tracking your calories online and they now know for a big chunk of their customers like what they ate at every meal because you logged your food consumption into your diet at right so now Kroger knows not only what you browse for and what you bought but actually when you consume it and so they can you know super accurately, predict when you need more of those items and it it you know it's not black magic or anything like there's a gentleman reason that some users would want to tell Kroger when they use those items, because I got some some benefit for that and I guess they're one of the thing I throw in there is predictive shipping doesn't. [42:44] Automatically mean to your house so there's a flavor predictive shipping that in essence is already have and it happening some of the Amazon patterns for predictive shipping, actually are proposing that they would predict that we ship popular items to the basement of your condo building our apartment building right so I can predict like I can aggravate the predictions for you know the 50 people that live in this building and I can Amazon can we space in though in the basement of that building and they can stage the stuff that that buildings most likely to buy in the basements and then when they get ordered the delivery cost is from the basement to the the unit instead of from the Fulfillment center to the unit right so a flavor predictive shipping is. [43:33] Predictably staging the stuff closer to the consumer and I would argue Prime now is sort of a version of that already where you know they have they put them in centers that are several hours from metropolitan areas and those those filming centers have a million items and then they take the 60,000 items that they're most likely to sell to that metropolitan area and they put that in a smaller Warehouse that's a 30 minute drive from most of the residents in that City and you know increasingly they might stage even more popular items more closely the customers to enable the one day delivery in all these other services so I I feel like baby steps in predictive shipping is kind of staging items closer and I do think it's totally realistic that In Our Lifetime you know there's white I did it just doesn't make sense that you should have to stress about running out of toilet paper. Scot: [44:25] Yes it's going to be one thing the e-commerce industry delivers to the world cool our second question comes from Holly Marie Pfeiffer and it says what's the future look like for personalization with ITP cracking down on Safari and talks about Google being closed behind and restricting third-party cookies. Jason: [44:45] Yeah well so I'm have to interpret this question. Partly because there was a thing called 3rd party cookies and they mostly are already not allowed so you know a cookie is a little digital footprint and it gets laughed when you visit a website and it can store some data, that that website uses about you right and so for a while it was possible to four. When you visit us a Retailer's websites a walmart.com Walmart could have permission to go look at a cookie that shared amongst many websites and that was called a third-party cookie Vera Bradley security reasons browsers don't allow that anymore so walmart.com can only see cookies that are designed for walmart.com and no other website can see those cookies so it said that kind of. Personalization has already tightened up but there are lots of other ways that browsers try to identify you and share information about you and I think Holly's main point is the internet is kind of cracking down on all of those ways so there's a thing called browser fingerprinting. And essentially you know I can ask the browser. [46:12] For thousands of settings that you have set in your unique browser and your combination of settings for all those settings kind of. Equals a unique fingerprint that's going to be different than almost any other user on the internet and so by. [46:27] Asking your browser all those questions I can create a unique fingerprint for you to identify you uniquely Scott even if you delete all your cookies and so there's a you know a fair amount of. Advertising based personalization on the web that leverages these fingerprinting Technologies, and increasingly the browser is not letting you asking all those questions because they realized that it was being exploited for for privacy reasons, and by default the browser isn't storing cookies at all or is much more restrictive than its privacy policies then then they used to be and so there are a lot of us that feel like, a lot of the ways that a marketer would have leverage third-party data to improve. Their ability to Market to you when you're in a particular website are all things that for a variety of privacy reasons are, going away and they're going to be more restricted right and so you know today when you go visit a website you visit Walmart Walmart knows everything that you told Walmart about it but Walmart can also go to. Axiom and Epsilon and all these third parties and buy a bunch of extra data about you that they could potentially use to Market to you, and you know there's probably like. [47:47] Nearer than further future when marketers aren't going to be allowed to apply any of that third-party data to you so they're only going to be allowed to use data, about you that you had explicitly provided to them and and they they have disclosed their collecting and what they're doing with and so, it does change a bunch of marketing tactics that does change. Did the palette of personalisation options that you have available but frankly like I would argue that we are doing an extraordinary crappy job of personalizing experiences to all the data that we have access today in to the fact that some of that data might be less accessible to us as marketers in the future like like, you know do a great job with all the data you have before you you're crying about not having access to more day that's why I feel like there is a huge opportunity to dramatically improve personalization you don't even with just first-party data and so I personally don't view it as a a disaster that the sort of wild west of third-party data is is likely going to go away. Scot: [49:02] Call Melinda secret time time so we'll probably maybe do the short version of these this next question comes from Jeff Vogel I saw Jason's question to Toby about performance and pwas do you see them actually sticking I know they are hot right now but how many pwa either of you have on your phone of those besides Amazon how many do you use seems like something that works for the Amazon to Nordstrom's the world but do you see it as a mid-market reality. Jason: [49:33] Oh Jeff it's so cruel. Just short answers and then gives me a juicy p p w a question. Scot: [49:41] Take all the time you want it's our podcast. Jason: [49:45] Yeah yeah that's got so so first of all the the question he's referencing is the founder and CEO of Shopify did a kind of ask me anything on Twitter, that's Toby and I took the liberty of asking him a question about you know is there any plans to dramatically improve, Paige performance, on Shopify sites and specifically of Shopify was going to move to something like Progressive web apps and Toby was nice enough to give a video response to my question and he said we're absolutely, doing major evolutions of our performance right now so stay tuned for you no big announcements about us optimizing our performance which candidly is a problem with Shopify it's not a particularly. Bass performing e-commerce experience at the moment so glad to hear that Toby is committed to fixing that and I floated pwas as one of the primary ways you would do that and Toby didn't agree with me like so he's like we support pwa, but that's really not the best way to get performance so this requires like a slightly deeper dive. Jeff I suspect the way you're thinking about pwas is exactly backwards right sappy wa stands for Progressive web app. [51:07] And it has this unfortunate word in it app and so when most people here that they go oh, pwa is a replacement for Native apps and what you would do is you go to a website that's a pwa and you'd quick save on my homepage and now you have an icon on your phone that you can click. Anytime you want to do lunch this pwa and you know he he's referencing that guy shike aren't only really big companies going to be able to convince people to save the pwa is to their homepage. And here's a funny thing what a pwa really is is it's a best practice way to build a mobile website. [51:45] And you never have to store it on your homepage it simply means if starbucks.com is built as a pwa when you go to starbucks.com from your mobile phone. You're going to get a highly mobile optimized experience that's likely to load much faster be perceived as welding Fastener and support the very latest. Mobile capabilities in your browser so it's using your browser to deliver a great mobile experience native apps, are indexed by Google so if you do a search on Google you're not going to get pointers to the, the interior content inside of a native app but a progressive web app is a website so it all of its content is indexed on Google you can get a result on Google click on that result and it'll take you right to that part of the progressive web app. It just so happens that as an optional feature of progressive web apps. [52:37] If it's a app if it's a website you use a lot you can save it to your desktop in or to your phone home screen and then there will be an icon that you can use to lunch at but you're really just watching. That Brands website and so I actually think. Pwa most benefits the not Amazon's of the world Amazon is about the only retailer that successfully has God than 50 million consumers to download and install their app like almost no other retailer can get a native app installed on a lot of. Devices Amazon can so if you're not Amazon and you want to Rich mobile experience. [53:15] A pwa is the way to go right now so I at the moment disagree with Toby I think. Pwa is are much more important for mobile performance then apparently Toby believes they are. Time will tell there are a bunch of retailers that have launched pwas and a reporting dramatically better. Performance and therefore business metrics as a result the example I use a lot is in the US Starbucks has a mobile app and super successful. But as they've expanded all these other countries they didn't rewrite that mobile app they built a pwa so in China the way you would do mobile order and pay the way you would do Starbucks pay is through the pwa website that Starbucks belt, and they have built a a pwa version of their website in the US now and you can try it and it basically it'll mobile web browser gives you all the functionality. [54:13] Previously you you would have needed an app to get so I think it's a really good experience. You don't see tons and tons of deployments right now because they're frankly really hard to build them so they're expensive to build. I'm in a ton of retailers just spent a bunch of money building building a responsive design website and saw the last thing they want is Jason Goldberg to fly in and go your responsive website sucks you should build a really expensive pwa to replace it right and so. Quite frankly there just a lot of retailers that aren't in cycle on. Making that kind of investment right now but almost every retailer that is having to make a new investment in their mobile experiences. [54:51] Is adopting pwa in the first crop of those that did are getting great performance so. I'm actually curious to have a Toby's a super smart guy. Cheers to have a longer conversation with him then you can have on Twitter to understand why she's not as bullish but my. Sort of skeptical suspicion is Shopify just isn't particularly well architected to. Replace the webstore model with a pwa web store and you know they built their own Paradigm they they have this development language called liquid and Toby obviously loves the stuff that he built so he believes the fastest way to get a mobile website is a better implementation and liquid and they support pwa is kind of a bolt on but not really is coordinated technology and so I suspect part of Toby's hesitation is that his architecture just doesn't support it as well but, hopefully I'll get the chance to have a deeper die with him and then we'll find out. Scot: [55:58] Cool that's a good tie into this final listener question this comes from Carrie and I'm not going to say carries last name cuz I won't say it right so will call Kerry k any new information regarding with a Dobby is doing with the Magento platform and kind of a it's a two-parter here as we're trying to go fast and then this is one you can do really fast what's your brief take on the current status of all of the Commerce platforms. Jason: [56:25] Yeah so that it's a better time than you might imagine because I'm like Shopify Magento is kind of all in on Progressive web apps, like here here's a kind of my Readers Digest on the Adobe and Magento first and then the overall landscape later show magenta was a super popular e-commerce platform it's been deployed millions of times it's you know most people that the plated didn't pay for it and it's you know open source on-prem solution and that was called magenta 1.0 so there's Tennessee. They're they're still running magenta 1.0 there's a you know even more sites that installed magenta 1.0 at one point and then just kind of abandon their business right so, it's been a super popular platform for a long time in the last three or four years if you were small business that wanted to do lunch and e-commerce site you were Louis less likely to pick. Magenta which is hard to install and host and all these things and way more likely to pick Shopify so Shopify his gain way more traction while I would argue Magento has lost a lot of traction with small businesses, but while that was happening, Magento didn't stand still they built Magento 2.0 which was much more modern architecture for an e-commerce platform it was better in a lot of ways. [57:44] And only one piece of bad news Magento got very few people to use Magento 2 and very few of the, the the magenta one sites have migrated to Magento 2, but Magento 2 is better in most ways and today Magento 2 is one of the platforms that had the best native support for Progressive web app. [58:10] So well they don't have like Magento is kind of A Tale of Two Cities they have a long in the tooth old e-commerce platform that that has a lot of flaws but has a huge install in loyal install base, and they have a new platform which is much better which supports much more modern standards and better security. And they don't have a lot of traction with it yet and then you know when they found them in that circumstance they got bought by Adobe. Which you know it has a huge investment in content management this platform called Adobe experience manager AEM. An AEM scomar strategy was to partner with e-commerce platforms so you know what a job you would say is. Run AEM in IBM websphere or run a.m. and sap hybris together and we have these design patterns that let you run these two super you know expensive complicated pieces of the software together. [59:12] So at the moment. I would say Adobe has not merge those two strategies like they now that they own Magento they they have a strategy that says hey run AEM and Magento together. Like we used to talk about running hybris or sap. And like I don't think they've got a lot of traction on that like it it frankly doesn't fit because in Magento is cheap and then in a.m. is expensive so if there's not. Like a huge amount of overlap of someone that wants those two platforms. And then separately they have this pure magenta solution which is hey you don't need a Content management solution adopter magenta to you know Embrace Progressive web apps and embrace the future and its really great solution so, what we're all waiting for is Adobe to kind of reconcile those two strategies and say like hey how does AEM fit into the Magento 2 pwa World am is not very good at pwas but you know with Magento is selling their vision of the future there they're talking heavily about pwa so is there in a little bit of an awkward place right now and we're all waiting to see how they they reconcile those those two pads there's there's a number of ways they could do it and frankly adobe's acquired a lot of other Technologies in the past and ultimately been able to do a pretty good job of weaving them together. Scot: [1:00:38] And then the second part of that question was some of the other platforms you've spent a fair amount of time on Shopify and Magento maybe throw was still a little big conversation there and then walk up to Salesforce Oracle sap platforms. Jason: [1:00:57] Play my one sentence answer is the state of e-commerce platforms right now is. Convoluted right so that you know that the entry-level small business platforms of choice Magento and Shopify and as I've already mentioned Shopify phenomenally gaining traction, and very low low risk easy implementation a lot of things going for it Magento 1.0 open source not so much not gaining a lot of new users One Step Up from that they're their platforms that are you meant to be like slightly more Enterprise friendly like you mentioned Bigcommerce and I would call you I would say Bigcommerce as a kind of. Stayed flat and Shopify his kind of successfully moved into Bigcommerce is space so they have a new flavor of shutters not that new now but. A newer flavor of Shopify called Shopify plus which kind of targets directly the Bigcommerce is of the world which were maybe like one step up Market from. From Shopify Bigcommerce is going to support more things like B2B workflows and things that that Shopify probably doesn't have yet they're a bunch of. [1:02:11] Newer platforms at the next step up that don't have very big installed bases but they're all these platforms like, mozu and. Commerce Tools in Alaska path and you know a whole set of platforms that each have some pros and cons but just don't have a huge installed base. And then you get up to the what what was the Big 4 which platform is most likely to be used by my clients and be used by it like big Enterprise clients it was demandware which is now Salesforce Commerce Cloud which. Is doing really well has a lot of traction and you know they're probably doing a really good job of evolving the platform. And then there are these three on-prem so in that that pop on his cloud-hosted platform. Dentistry on Prem platforms that were really big amongst Enterprises there was IBM websphere Commerce which I didn't actually sold and you know now. Is a little bit of forts platform there's Oracle atg and there's sap hybris and I would argue that all three of those platforms have wildly lostine. As users have seen how expensive and high-risk they are to install and how long the installation takes and how much of that experience you get out of these smaller cheaper platforms for a fraction of the price. [1:03:39] Sap hybris has a bunch of features that are not in Shopify plus but once you paid $10,000 for a year of Shopify Plus. It's really hard to spend millions of dollars and wait 9 months or 12 months for implementation of, of sap hybris so I would like say at the moment the Enterprise platforms are really kind of tanking, it remains to be seen what what will replace them do man wear his you know star Salesforce Commerce cloud is done by far the best of those Enterprise Solutions, and the the small business guys are growing up with their clients and so you know that the shopify's in the world have have many more Enterprise clients now that some of those. Originally small businesses like Warby Parker you know have gotten bigger on that platform. And not you not argue there's a bunch of new technologies that all the it guys like that are micro service-based and all of these new Frameworks, and it seems like that's what all the customers want but like. No one platform has kind of won the majority of users on that platform so at the moment it's a it's a very fragmented market and it's it's difficult to pick a winner so it's to be honest not the best time in the world to pick a new platform if you don't have to. Scot: [1:04:58] Yes some of the api-based funds called themselves headless which I think is bad Ben marketing unless it's Halloween. Jason: [1:05:05] Yes and pretend most of like there's not perfect overlap but most of the Headless systems or API BAE systems are. What we would call Micro service pay system there are ways to be headed west without microservices but that's getting in the nuances that we probably don't need to get into on the show. Scot: [1:05:25] Can you be headless without microservices but still do pwas without third-party cookies and predictive shipping. Jason: [1:05:34] I was going to say yes till you threw in. Scot: [1:05:37] Cool started to sound like a little word salad which means it's probably time to land the plane here. Jason: [1:05:46] Yep if I'm totally confused anyone and you want to ask me five questions feel free to hit us up on Twitter or Facebook page, you know is if we added value on the show we sure would love it if you jump on the iTunes and get us that five star review where one of the best reviewed e-commerce podcast on the web and frankly we'd like to keep that status and I need your help to do it. Scot: [1:06:09] We hope you enjoy this episode of industry news and listener questions. Jason: [1:06:15] Until next time happy commercing.

Find out the fate of Nine West and Bandolino.
When Debbie Beard found out the company she'd worked at for 29 years, Toys R Us, was closing down, she was shocked--she knew the company had been having financial difficulties for a while, but didn't realize it was that bad. The more she learned, though, about the way the company had been looted by private equity firms Bain Capital and KKR, the more she determined that no one else should have to go through this. Debbie and other Toys R Us workers are organizing to demand severance pay from the company, and beyond that, organizing to stop the kind of leveraged buyouts that saddle viable companies with unsustainable debt. She joins me along with Carrie Gleason of the Fair Workweek Initiative at the Center for Popular Democracy to explain what can be done. CG: This has been going on for quite some time, and during the recession, about ten years ago now, retail companies started to turn to these private equity firms to help them with their financial struggles. Many retail companies were bought out through this process called a leveraged buyout. In the case of Toys R Us, what happened was in say 2005 the company only had 30% debt. Then, as soon as KKR and Bain Capital bought it out, that flipped and the company went to 70% debt and only 30% equity. The company had long paid back this debt, but then, as every year, they had to pay management fees and other kinds of, basically, fees to take care of Bain Capital from one year to the next, on top of interest, and it became financially unviable. Then, Amazon gets on the scene and all of these investors across all of these retail companies look at what is happening with Amazon. Last year, it became the second largest retail company in America. They thought, “Well, maybe we should get out now, it is going to take too much investment, capital investment, to make this company competitive. So let’s just close the doors.” The truth is that Toys R Us is a completely viable business. Many of these other retail companies that are closing doors, like Nine West, are completely viable businesses, but the problem is that the owners aren’t looking to run the business of retail. It is a big problem. Then, it is not just this private equity ownership. Big companies like Macy’s and Kohl’s have other kinds of debt that are really crippling them in this moment where they actually need to be changing their strategies for the new retail industry that is emerging. As a result, I will say, a lot of people are losing their jobs. A lot of hard-working women like Debbie are losing their jobs. And, this is a disaster, a financial crisis that could completely be avoided if we just regulate these Wall Street firms. DB: There are several single moms in my store. I get emotional about this. I am sorry. I have got a mom, Melissa, she has got three young boys under six trying to make a living because she is a single mom. Julie has a specific schedule because she is taking care of her mom. It is going to upset their whole lives. Julie, as a matter of fact, has been with this store for twenty-one years. She opened this store and now she is going to close it.

Irma Hardjakusumah is the founder of Studio Left, a design studio that she recently launched out of the success of her career. Irma is an award-winning designer with a wide range of design vocabulary and over 15 years of experience in Multidisciplinary Design marked with achievements in all fields related: Exhibit Design, Event Design, Experiential Marketing, Retail/Interior Design and Furniture Design. She is a well-rounded design professional who not only is capable of driving the design process from a macro perspective but is also skilled, knowledgeable and detail oriented to be intimately involved in every step of execution. Naturally talented in both creative and technical sides of design, Irma is able to take a project from its first phase of ideation, through engineering and all the way to its final phase of production. Irma has designed environments for clients such as Sequoia Productions (The Oscar’s Governors Ball, The Emmy Awards Governors Ball), Havas Luxe Events (Swarovski, Audemars Piguet), Jumpline Group (Costume Designers Guild Awards), James Beard Foundation, Hollywood Wax Museum, Hollywood Guinness World of Records Museum, The New York Times, USC Pacific Asia Museum, LACMA, SKYY Vodka, Salvatore Ferragamo, Versace, Nine West, Starwood hotels, Wolfgang Puck, Chrysler, Bentley, Audi, Patek Philippe, LG, Walmart, MTV, Google, Universal, Hearst Publications, Saks Fifth Avenue, LA Music Center, and many more. Irma is all about putting herself in other peoples shoes. That’s her job after all. When people walk through one of Irma’s exhibits or event environments, she wants them to feel something deeply. That feeling is an emotion, which creates a sense of wonder or amazement. Irma is clearly really good at delivering those emotions in people, because she is constantly asked back to do it again. But emotions just don't happen, and provoking them can be incredibly difficult. Through storytelling Irma is able to bring people into a moment or a succession of moments that create these emotions. Just like a director does with a film, she does with design. People never forget her immersive experiences because people never forget when an emotion has shifted them so deeply. Find Irma and Studio Left Online: Pinterest - @irmahardjakusumah Instagram - @studio_left Twitter - @IHardjakusumah Some Questions I Ask: What triggered your passion for design? Is there a different feeling you get when designing something temporary vs. permanent? How important is it for you to move on from what you’ve done last time vs. learn from what you’ve done last time? Have you become a better storyteller over the years, and how have you become better? Have you ever had to sacrifice creative control on a project because other people think they know better than you? In This Episode, You Will Learn About: Taking a destructive moment and making it reusable Formulas are the death of creativity Becoming one with your work Learning how to put yourself in your customers shoes The importance of constantly pushing boundaries Music Composed by John Zarcone
Andy and Noelle run through Nine West's new innovative features for women's fashion footwear, fall trends, and discuss what women want in a pair of fashionable shoes.
In this episode I interview Elizabeth Olsen, founder of Olsenhaus Pure Vegan, a footwear company that was launched in New York in 2008. Just two years later in 2010, the line was sold in 16 countries in prominent retailers including Barneys and Nordstrom as well as eco-boutique stores. Both the brand and Elizabeth have been featured in a ton of high-profile media including the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. Olsenhaus shoes have captured the attention of celebrities including Emily Deschanel, Alicia Silverstone, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz and have even been displayed in museums. Before launching Olsenhaus, Elizabeth held a number of prestigious positions at renowned brands including Creative Director for Tommy Hilfiger handbags, and in Creative Direction and Design for Calvin Klein, Nine West and many others. She also had a career as a wardrobe and prop stylist in film, commercials and print for clients including Nike, IBM, Nissan and Universal Studios and was Producer and Head of Wardrobe for the photography agency Superstock. During her travels for these companies, she witnessed the horrendous animal cruelty, devastating environmental pollution and hazardous working conditions in the leather industry and launched Olsenhaus as a socially-conscious alternative. Elizabeth runs the business out of Florida nowadays and is writing a book on consciousness. In this interview she discusses: • The psychological strategies she uses to educate retail buyers to overcome resistance, overwhelm and defensiveness • Why she decided to launch her online store after initially doing wholesale only • Why she's joined forces in a collaboration with two other vegan brands – including another vegan shoe company • How she got her shoes on the feet of celebrities • The importance of having legal counsel to protect your business • And much more Visit the Olsenhaus Pure Vegan website Brands mentioned in vegan business news roundup: Spiral Diner Mono Good Rebel Beyond Meat RESOURCES: My Online PR Course for Vegan Business Owners & Entrepreneurs: Vegans in the Limelight My book Vegan Ventures: Start and Grow an Ethical Business Follow Vegan Business Media on: Facebook Twitter Instagram Connect with me personally at: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn

Summer is a time to lighten up. I chopped off 10+ inches of my hair to donate to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. What is it about our external self that so affects our internal state?
