What if the most important business introduction of your life happened in a middle seat at 30,000 feet? In this episode, Carrie Waible, founder of CW and Co., shares a career that reads like a map of New York City's most iconic moments. Star-studded galas, Nobu's 20th anniversary, Donna Summer and John Legend at the Beacon Theater, Robert De Niro's charity events, and a 20-year client relationship that started with a phone call she almost said no to. None of it would have happened without a stranger on a plane named Stan Heath, a first boss named Tony who saw something in her before she did, and a client named Thomas who told a 26-year-old she should start her own company. She did. Twenty years later she is still at it and still evolving.   [00:04:00] What She Does and Who She Serves Runs CW and Co., a full service marketing and production company Started in 2004 producing nonprofit galas and celebrity events in New York Has worked with some clients for 10 to 20 years [00:05:00] From Events to Full Service Marketing Was churning out 12 major events a year with a team burning out A dear team member said she didn't want this to be her life Started shifting toward full service marketing and content production [00:07:30] The Client Who Gave Her the Best Advice An old client named Charlie took her to lunch when she first started out He told her: keep putting yourself in front of people and do a good job He also said at 26: lean into your PR talents; that's what will carry you She didn't fully hear it until years later when the pivot became necessary [00:10:30] What Inspires Her: People Gets her energy entirely from people; not one cup of coffee a day Feels most present when directing videos, producing events, or in the field If she is connecting with people and doing meaningful work, she feels amazing [00:11:30] Client Impact: Nobu and a Charter School Network Helped Nobu transition from a 190-seat Tribeca restaurant to a global brand without losing its heart Helped nonprofits raise what adds up to billions of dollars over the years Spoke at a charter school career day; a student asked what inspires her; she said: you do [00:19:00] The Relationship That Started Everything: Stan Heath Was flying to New York to visit friends after graduating college Got into conversation with a stranger named Stan Heath in the middle seat He said PR was her fit; his ex-business partner Tony was hiring Stan faxed her resume; she had a meeting that same weekend [00:21:30] Tony: The First Boss Who Changed Her Life Tony offered her the job after watching her work a fashion industry event He needed to see how she moved before making the offer New York clicked immediately; she has never left That first job eventually led her back to PR and to starting her own company [00:23:00] Thomas: The Client Who Told Her to Start Her Own Business A former client told her: anywhere you go, people will just ask for Carrie Waible anyway Within weeks he offered her a live event six weeks from his nonprofit's biggest fundraiser She started the company at 26 to take on that first event That night on the event floor confirmed she had found where she belonged [00:25:30] Cathy: The Referral That Led to Robert De Niro A past client named Cathy called to pass on a piece of business she couldn't take She was stern: my reputation is on the line too; I need to know you're ready The event was a star-studded benefit at the Beacon Theater with Donna Summer and John Legend The after party was at Nobu; that relationship kept growing for five to six years [00:28:30] Raven: The 20-Year Client Relationship Her first VP at her first New York job called when Carrie started her agency Asked her to do PR for the New York Boat Show; Carrie almost said no That one job opened the door to recreational boating, now one of her biggest business streams The National Marine Manufacturers Association has been a client for 20 years [00:31:30] Venice 2021: The Trip That Cracked Everything Open Was invited to manage VIPs and heads of state at a humanitarian event in Venice Went alone with only a local assistant; no team, no safety net Realized she didn't need a multimillion-dollar agency; she needed to love the work every day From that moment she began more fully embodying her gifts and what she really wanted [00:34:30] Final Word: Just Connect People find relationship building daunting; just extend a smile, a word, a handshake Trust your gut about who feels right; the spidey sense gets sharper over time Those small connections build into things you could never have imagined   KEY QUOTES "Keep putting yourself in front of people and do a good job, because no one ever wants to change who they're working with if they don't have to." - Charlie, as shared by Carrie Waible "I get my energy from people. Not one cup of coffee." - Carrie Waible "You have nothing to lose. Those things build and build into something that you just could never imagine." - Carrie Waible CONNECT WITH CARRIE WAIBLE Website: https://www.cwandco.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carrie-waible-658b972   Thanks for tuning in!

Hoy me acompaña Regina Dejiménez para hablar de su práctica artística que interroga los límites del tejido a través de objetos, murales e instalaciones site-specific.Regina nos cuenta cómo creció rodeada de tejidos en el taller de costura de su madre y cómo ese universo material y sensorial fue la semilla de todo. Fue durante su Erasmus en Estambul donde descubrió el fiber art y comprendió el enorme potencial de crear obra artística desde el textil. Desde entonces su práctica ha sido una exploración constante: empezó con tapices, pasó a murales, luego a objetos escultóricos y hoy trabaja principalmente con instalaciones site-specific que transforman los espacios y envuelven a quien los habita.Hablamos de su primer encargo, un mural para el hotel Nobu en Barcelona, y de la necesidad de que las marcas establezcan buenas prácticas en sus colaboraciones con artistas. En ese contexto, nos explica su larga relación con Adolfo Domínguez, con quienes ha creado más de diez instalaciones para sus tiendas. También abordamos el tema de las copias, que le genera frustración, pero está convencida de que la creatividad y la evolución son intransferibles.También hablamos de Kave Gallery, sponsor del episodio, y del que Regina forma parte. Fundada en 2023, nació con el propósito de preservar y compartir las historias del Mediterráneo a través del arte, como punto de encuentro entre artistas y amantes del arte con una selección curada de obras con raíces en esta región. Comentamos la importancia de que existan plataformas como esta, que hacen que el arte sea accesible y que permiten adquirir una obra de Regina a un precio más asequible.Cerramos hablando del boom del arte textil y Regina cree que responde a una necesidad colectiva de volver a lo material, lo doméstico y lo femenino. Y nos adelanta su proyecto más reciente: un mural de lana para un Parador de Turismo.Foto de Adrian Domínguez

The squad tries to figure out if 18-year-old Melvin is truly in love or if he's about to be "sold for parts" by an international student in San Francisco his family claims is a Chinese spy. Between the relationship intervention, the crew roasts Kevin Durant for pulling a "Homer Simpson" and hiding behind a bush at Nobu to escape the paparazzi with a mystery girl. [Edited by @iamdyre

Nana on Ai Yazawan shoujoklassikko, joka kertoo kahden Tokioon muuttaneen 20-vuotiaan tytön ystävyydestä sekä heidän ystäviensä ja bänditoveriensa suhdeverkostosta. Ajankohtaisina aiheina puhumme mangaka Kamome Shirahaman UNESCO-haastattelun synnyttämästä keskustelusta siitä, onko manga-ala miesvaltainen, sekä Ylen tuoreesta dokumenttisarjasta Japani-efekti!!, jossa käsitellään japanilaisen popkulttuurin harrastamista ja suosion syitä.

David's officially 40, and Terry is here to remind him (repeatedly) — with a birthday week that won't quit, a BBQ for 35 people, and a very expensive catering quote that gets binned in favour of “the lads on the grill” and spicy margaritas on tap. They recap their adults-only Marbella trip: The Met hotel, beach shack prawn pil pil, Nobu, two-drinks-and-done drunkenness, and the infamous A4 photo that may or may not have got them rejected from the “club vibe” area. Plus: Terry turning German when she's drunk, David's new 40s do's and don'ts, Crocs-gate, and a listener dilemma about being asked to be a bridesmaid after a 10-year fallout.

Look. We had topics. We chose chaos instead. And honestly? Yes.This is the episode where we decided the world was a shit show, the news was too much, and we were just gonna see what happened. What happened was: an AITA about a girlfriend who thinks she's already a stepmother to twins she didn't carry, a man approached Joyhdae at a work event with very large plans and very questionable energy (Nobu might still happen — we'll see), Trump beefing with the Pope, the Secretary of Defense accidentally reading the Pulp Fiction monologue as scripture, Euphoria being back and somehow no one's fully invested, Justin Bieber making Coachella history, Michaela Coel being criminally underrated, Nia Long being fine for all eternity, and a debate about eel liquor in London that nobody asked for.Oh. And the jokes. This is what happens when the plan goes out the window and the vibe takes over.⸻If you've ever looked at the news, looked at your phone, looked at the ceiling, and said “you know what, I just need to talk to somebody” — this episode was made for you... Send it to your most unhinged group chat.

If you regularly dined out in New York City over the last 40 years, you've probably eaten at one of Drew Nieporent's restaurants. He opened nearly 40 of them, mostly in New York. His most well-known restaurant is, of course, Nobu, the restaurant that started the global sushi franchise. However, earlier on, there was Montrachet, a groundbreaking spot in Tribeca that maintained its three-star rating from The New York Times for 21 years. That restaurant location later opened as Bâtard, earning three stars from The Times and two from the Michelin Guide. Then there's Tribeca Grill, which, like Nobu, he opened with partner Robert De Niro, as well as the chef Nobu Matsuhisa. Drew recently looked back on his long and storied career in his book, I'm Not Trying to Be Difficult: Stories from the Restaurant Trenches, which he wrote with food writer Jamie Feldmar. Just as in his book, Drew is candid in his discussion with guest host Gloria Dawson, which touches on everything from the role of the restaurateur to why most reviews no longer matter much and what to look for in a business partner.

Legendary restaurateur Drew Nieporent (Nobu, Montrachet, Tribeca Grill, et. al) discusses his memoir I'm Not Trying to Be Difficult and opines on the state of the industry in a no-holds-barred and free-ranging conversation recorded over lunch at Nobu in Lower Manhattan.Huge thanks to Andrew Talks to Chefs' presenting sponsor, meez, the recipe operating software for culinary professionals.

Dans cette deuxième partie, on retrouve Giuliano Sperandio au moment où sa vie bascule vraiment dans le métier.C'est un chapitre fait de voyages, d'apprentissages parfois rudes, de rencontres fondatrices et de décisions parfois impulsives — mais toujours guidées par une boussole intérieure très claire : vivre sa vie, pas celle que les autres attendent.On le suit du concours européen au Luxembourg — qu'il gagne presque malgré lui — à Monaco, puis Rome, où il découvre ce qui deviendra sa cuisine : les condiments, les cuissons, les jus, ces « petites touches qui font briller le palais ».On le découvre observateur obsessionnel, mémoriel sur les gestes et les attitudes, mais totalement imperméable à l'idée de reproduire un plat qu'il n'a pas compris.Et puis il y a ces virages qui disent tout de son tempérament :New York et ses cuisines chaotiques, la Suisse, la Grèce avec Nobu, puis ce besoin presque organique d'apprendre les bases françaises, à Paris, quitte à mettre son couple dans la balance.Ce chapitre, c'est le moment où Giuliano se construit un langage : chercher, absorber, décoder, comprendre — et ne jamais faire semblant.Une trajectoire faite « d'envies » plutôt que de plans, de liberté cadrée et d'intuition.Pour découvrir la cuisine de Giuliano Sperandio, c'est par ici !

In the third and final episode of this mini-series, we hear from Nobu Okada, Founder & CEO of Astroscale. Since establishing Astroscale in 2013, Nobu has grown the company from a one-person venture into a global organization with offices in five countries, raised over $383 million in funding, and led the company to a successful IPO.  A highly respected figure in the space industry, Nobu is a member of the International Academy of Astronautics, an advisory board member of the Space Generation Advisory Council, and a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society. He previously served as Vice President for Space Economy and Sponsorship at the International Astronautical Federation until 2023 and co-chaired the World Economic Forum's Global Future Council on Space Technologies until 2021. During his tenure, he played a key role in developing the Space Sustainability Rating, a system designed to promote responsible space operations.  Under Nobu's leadership, Astroscale has received numerous accolades, including the IAF Excellence in Industry (SME) in 2023, the Japanese Prime Minister's Award in 2022, and recognition as one of TIME100's Most Influential Companies in 2022. Nobu has also received individual recognition, including the 2020 SpaceNews Company Leader of the Year and the 2019 Forbes JAPAN Start-up of The Year. Before founding Astroscale, Nobu was an IT entrepreneur and strategy consultant, managing IT companies across Japan, China, India and Singapore. He successfully led one company to an IPO. Earlier in his career, he worked at McKinsey & Company and served in the Japanese Ministry of Finance. Nobu holds a bachelor's degree in Agriculture from the University of Tokyo and an MBA from the Krannert School of Business, Purdue University.

Kenny and Pete break down the CFB Playoff and the latest NFL matchups. This week is filled with tangents.

Jeffrey Epstein used fine dining not just for pleasure, but as a weapon of influence. His presence in elite restaurants like Le Cirque, Nobu, and Cipriani wasn't about the food — it was about power. These venues served as neutral ground where billionaires, academics, and politicians could meet under the guise of sophistication. Epstein was known to host private dinners with figures such as Tim Zagat, the co-founder of Zagat Guide, and other Manhattan socialites years after his sex-offender conviction. At these tables, deals were discussed, introductions were made, and reputations were rehabilitated. To the outside world, it looked like civility and charm; in reality, it was grooming at scale — the construction of credibility through proximity. Every dinner, every photo, every handshake was another layer of legitimacy wrapped in luxury linen.The restaurant world also quietly enabled his image. Owners of trendy Hamptons and Manhattan establishments seated him like any other VIP, despite his notoriety. The owner of 75 Main in Southampton later admitted Epstein had a standing reservation — a table that was literally burned after his crimes were exposed. Behind the scenes, his private chef, Adam Perry Lang — a celebrated restaurateur connected to Hollywood's elite — cooked for Epstein's guests at both his Manhattan townhouse and his private island. These culinary connections weren't incidental; they were part of the camouflage. Fine dining gave Epstein access, privacy, and respectability. In the world of five-star meals and champagne toasts, he wasn't a predator — he was just another “important man.” And that's exactly how he kept his network alive.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Join the OverSeasoned crew as we dive into the gray area between culinary inspiration and straight-up recipe theft. From Sarasota shrimp cocktails that feel a little TOO familiar to a restaurant boldly serving “Nobu's” new style sashimi that Nobu himself wouldn't recognize... we unpack where homage ends and imitation begins. (It's the sincerest form of flattery, right?) These are our hot takes on respect, ownership, and why putting another chef's name on your menu might just be a terrible idea.

John welcomes Drew Nieporent, the celebrated owner-operator behind Nobu, Tribeca Grill, and Montrachet, to discuss his new memoir, “I'm Not Trying To Be Difficult: Stories From the Restaurant Trenches.” Nieporent describes his role in transforming the stuffy, fussy, French-focused fine dining culture of New York in the 1970s into the dynamic, freewheeling, scene-driven atmosphere that took hold in the late 1980s; how his fabled partnership with Robert De Niro and Nobuyuki Matsuhisa spawned a globe-spanning culinary empire, but not before his partners cut him out of the business; and how, although the restaurant industry managed to survive Covid, it was changed forever (and not for the better) by the pandemic.

In this episode, I talk about if the Tom Sachs Mars Yard 3.0 in-app challenge release was made exclusively for the unemployed. I also talk a lot about recent sneaker releases and give an update on 2JsKicks having champagne wishes and caviar dreams at Nobu. I also warn sneakerheads to be wary whenever a company declares itself a “sneaker culture company”. Finally I talk about some recent sneaker content creator blues, and if you've been providing enough value for the brands lately (no, you have not, straighten up will ya). A lot of show, a lot of fun, all killer, no filler!New socks are also available in very limited quantities: https://shop.sockjig.com/Timestamps00:00 Intro02:41 New Sockjig Socks Available Now04:17 On Feet: Off White Presto05:32 Pickups: adidas Orion Terry Fox 45th Anniversary07:23 Patta Air Max 90 Waves07:44 JJJJound Asics Gel Quantum 36008:20 JJJJound Puma Mostro09:07 AMM AF1 & AM9510:48 Levi's Air Max 95s Release Recap14:13 Who Decides War Jordan Flight Court15:28 Air Jordan 4016:45 Paris Fashion Week: JFG 200017:16 Get Clint to Debut Your Sneaker17:39 Does a Kids of Immigrants FNF Sneaker Make Sense?19:30 Adidas Jellyfish20:52 Clipse Sambas23:13 Kith New Balance 204L23:50 Abc x Fantastic Four x Puma27:50 Premium Goods Air Max 1 for the NYC Mayor29:15 Tom Sachs is Keeping The Mars Yard Lore Intact37:47 TwoJsKicks Update40:11 Brendan Dunne to StockX47:41 Sneaker Content Creator Blues53:55 Outro

We've been on the road - working, teaching, sweating (a lot), and soaking up every second of it. From coast to coast, we've had the honor of coaching high-performing, purpose-driven leaders and inspiring them to fuel their bodies well and train for longevity. But as always, they end up inspiring us just as much.   This week, we're sharing a behind-the-scenes look at a recent trip to New York, including a serendipitous moment that landed us at the Tribeca Film Festival to see a documentary about world-renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa. From not knowing who he was to sitting in his restaurant just hours later, Liz shares the unexpected lessons Nobu taught her about success, passion, and staying in the game - no matter your age.   We also talk about Liz and Lee's philosophy on longevity (hint: it starts earlier than you think), how success comes when you're living your passion, and why it's never too late to do what you love.    Resources mentioned: Nobu Documentary - Tribeca Film Festival Hilliard Studio Method   Some key takeaways from this episode include: Longevity doesn't start at 70. It starts now - with strength, intention, and purpose. Success doesn't have a deadline. Nobu found global fame later in life because he never stopped doing what lit him up - proof that doing what you love is the real win. If your passion's gone, it's time to pivot. Whether you're 30 or 80, it's never too late to follow what lights you up.   Be Powerful with Liz & Lee, formerly Hilliard Studio Podcast, is focused on helping you find your inner power and for us to share our thoughts on society, culture, and current events. As the team behind Hilliard Studio Method in Charlotte, North Carolina, we love all things wellness and will also share info on how to live your healthiest life mentally, physically, and emotionally.   Liz Hilliard is an author, motivational speaker, personal & group trainer, podcast co-host and owner & creator of Hilliard Studio Method (HSM) – an internationally-renowned, core-centric, Pilates-based workout that uses the latest techniques to get the heart rate pumping and sweat dripping – uses “Be Powerful” as a daily mantra to empower and encourage women of all generations and fitness levels to accept themselves as they are and keep moving.     Lee Kennelly is the second half of the podcast and the Director of Training at Hilliard Studio Method. She is happy to be living life unabashedly with Liz and adores her teenage children who have probably never listened to the podcast! Lee is passionate about movement and teaching and loves being on the sports fields watching her children, making her line of Love Sauce salads, or going out to dinner for date night with Liz. While behind the mic and on the screen aren't necessarily her comfort zone, she loves podcasting with Liz and has enjoyed the opportunity to share her story with the hope of inspiring others to live more joyfully.    Podcast contact info: Liz's Instagram  Lee's Instagram Hilliard Studio Method HSM Facebook Liz & Lee's YouTube
