Global Sound," Anthony is redefining R&B by stepping away from short-lived trends to craft expansive, concept-driven music chapters.We dive deep into the architecture of his catalogue—tracing his journey from the raw vocal focus of Just a Man on the Mic to the rich arrangements of his album The Balladeer. Anthony breaks down his creative process, balancing his gospel roots with operatic scale and big-band influences, and shares what it takes to design live experiences tailored for intimate, high-end spaces like his 7 Flights 100 Nights tour. Plus, we talk about his upcoming high-profile collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Scott Storch, and Kanye West.Key Discussion PointsThe Blueprint of "Chapters": Why Anthony organizes his discography as distinct, narrative eras rather than isolated single releases.High-Powered Alignments: Integrating distinct producer styles without losing his signature baritone identity.Redefining the Live Experience: How the 7 Flights 100 Nights performance format prioritizes mood, setting, and intimate connection.Featured Songs in This Episode"Body of the Church" (feat. Nph'Elihm) – From the album [The Balladeer]A raw, soul-stirring track that bridges deep-rooted gospel harmonies with contemporary vocal arrangements."Lets Make a Baby" – From the album [The Balladeer]A standout cut showcasing Anthony's smooth baritone vocals, romantic storytelling, and classic R&B sensibility.Links & ResourcesConnect with Anthony Llewellyn:Official Website: allewmusic.comListen on Spotify: Anthony Llewellyn on SpotifyListen on Apple Music: Anthony Llewellyn on Apple MusicAlbum Link: Stream The Balladeer on Spotify / Apple MusicSubscribe & ReviewIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and subscribe so you never miss an interview!Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: [@unfiltered.undiscovered]Visit our Hall of Fame to explore past and current inductees: https://unfilteredandundiscovered.com/hall-of-fame-unfiltered-undiscovered/ Copyright Disclaimer:"The Unfiltered & Undiscovered Podcast features interviews and showcases with music artists, along with our Mystery Song Deep Dive segment, which is intended solely for educational and entertainment purposes.

Es geht heute nach LA! Genauer gesagt nach South Central. Wir spulen aber nicht zurück in die Neunziger, sondern hören hinein ins Jahr 2026. Dort wartet einer, der gerade den ganz großen Sprung vom Underground-Geheimtipp zum absoluten Mainstream-Phänomen hingelegt hat: AZ Chike.Spätestens seit seiner messerscharfen Strophe auf Kendrick Lamars „peekaboo“ haben ihn viele auf dem Schirm. Jetzt hat er sein Major-Debütalbum gedroppt: „No Rest for the Wicked“. Eine Platte, die vor Westcoast-Energie strotzt, aber mit Produktionen von Pharrell Williams oder Hit-Boy auch tiefgründig und musikalisch komplex ist. Und wenn dann auch noch Tyler, The Creator für gleich zwei Features vorbeischaut, dann weiß man: zuhören. Das haben Mahdi Rahimi, Trishes und Natalie Brunner im Hip Hop Lesekreis getanFM4 Homebase 20 Uhr 22.09.2026

This week on the Superlative Podcast, Ariel Adams is joined by Nate Borgelt, Head of Watches at Joopiter, to discuss the evolving world of watch auctions and how a new generation of collectors is changing the market. Nate shares his path through Christie's, Patrizzi & Co., Antiquorum, and Sotheby's, along with the experiences and mentors that shaped his perspective on watches and the auction business. He also explains what drew him to Joopiter and how the auction house is approaching curation, accessibility, and collectibility differently from more traditional players in the space.Ariel and Nate explore how the growth of online marketplaces, social media, collecting communities, and private sales has transformed the way watches are discovered, bought, and sold. They discuss the challenge of bringing attention to great watches that fall outside the usual Rolex and Patek Philippe conversation, the importance of giving collectors context around what makes a watch interesting, and the opportunities created by curating watches alongside other areas of culture and collecting. Nate also discusses Joopiter's connection to founder Pharrell Williams, its efforts to make auctions more approachable, and why provenance and personal connections can make private consignments especially compelling.Learn more about Nate and Joopiter:Joopiter Website - https://www.joopiter.com/ Nate on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanielborgelt/SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

Remarkable Retail Episode 311 welcomes guest co-host and longtime friend of the pod Anne Mezzenga, Founder & CEO of Retail Field Report, joining Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc on mic and on camera.Anne opens with her new venture, launched in March as an evolution of the work she built at Omni Talk Retail with co-founder Chris Walton. Retail Field Report takes a journalist's lens rather than an analyst's — working shifts in stores, interviewing executives and walking floors to learn what's actually happening inside retail organizations, not what the headlines claim.The news opens on a shaky macro backdrop: diesel at a four-year high, the priciest Labor Day gas in a year, worse still across Europe, and a Fed narrative that has flipped from cuts to a 62% market-implied probability of at least two hikes by year-end. Michael adds the Canadian view — reciprocal tariffs, shelved US liquor and a tourism reversal after June's 5% bump in cross-border travel. Anne reports from the field: once fuel, healthcare and food are covered, the discretionary spending big-box retailers count on is running dry.On earnings, Steve unpacks Five Below's five straight quarters of double-digit comps, 23% revenue growth, its move past 2,000 stores and a rare guidance raise. Victoria's Secret posts a 9% comp; Anne credits store consistency, omnichannel execution and strength in PINK and beauty, and the pair explore whether GLP-1s — increasingly prescribed alongside hormone replacement therapy — are quietly reshaping apparel and beauty demand. Lululemon disappoints, with comps down 9% and the Americas down 12% as Heidi O'Neill steps in as CEO; Anne argues the brand needs a sharper point of view and less rinse-and-repeat product. At Kohl's, Steve flags a second straight quarter of Sephora underperforming the rest of the store.The centerpiece is Anne's work as a flex retail associate, booking shifts through the Reflex app in cities across the US: point-of-sale systems so intuitive that training is nearly obsolete, twelve strangers running a warehouse sale that moved 3,000 customers in a single shift, and hospitality-only roles at Longchamp in Boston and Sézane in San Francisco, evidence that mid-tier retailers are putting real P&L dollars into the welcome.The trio then debates Anthropic's open-source Claude Commerce Agents — throttled assortments in agentic pilots, returns exposure, and grocery shoppers splitting weekly lists across banners by price. Anne walks Target stores with executives and lands bullish on the Bullseye, while Steve sizes up Shein's Hong Kong listing at roughly $27 billion against its one-time $100 billion valuation.On the radar screens: Quince's rumored raise and brick-and-mortar ambitions (Steve's skeptical the assortment translates), and Michael on JBS, the world's biggest meat processor, Brazilian beef imports, and whether beef can price itself out of the grocery basket for good. Registration is open for a special webinar featuring Steve in conversation with Placer AI's Head of Analytical Research RJ Hottovy. From changing shopping patterns to emerging market opportunities, shifting consumer demand continues to reshape the industry. So don't miss this data-driven session unpacking the most important trends defining today's marketplace and the strategies leading brands are using to win retail's future. It's all brought to you by Placer.AI and It all happens on Tuesday September 29 at 1pm ET..Register here today:https://www.placer.ai/discover-events/discover-shifting-consumer-demand About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers.

For many celebrity men, and even the average guy on the street, the idea that handbags are only for women is long gone. There is a growing trend, particularly among male celebrities, of carrying handbags of all sizes and colours as the latest luxury fashion statement. Celebrities, athletes and designers are all proving that men can wear handbags too. Jacob Elordi, Pharrell Williams, Harry Styles, Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, A$AP Rocky and Travis Scott have all been spotted rocking handbags, making them somewhat of pioneers in the handbag's comeback.

Gränsupplösandet blir både globalt och lokalt när Amaarae med en söt, seriefigursaktig heliumröst seglar ut på sin jordenruntresa bortom ragerap och afrobeats, och visar hur musik kan skifta perspektiv och bryta ner stereotyper. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Erfarenheterna gör Amaarae (aktuell med albumet ”Black star”)klippt och skuren för den globala populärmusiken på 20-talet. Hon växte upp i Accra, Ghana där alternativa scener utvecklades. Sångerskan bodde i London då korsbefruktningarna pågick för fullt medan hon fann sig själv, och var i Georgia när trap förgrenades. Resultatet blev ett experimentellt öra och en orädd, punkig R&Battityd. Sättet som Amaarae leker med ett Clipsebeat i ”Counterfeit” demonstrerar hennes beundran för Virginiaduon som Mats Nileskär också möter. Way Out West-aktuella Clipse stod för förra årets återkomst genom ”Let God sort em out”. Trots att bröderna inte hade kört tillsammans på ett och ett halvt decennium var kemin intakt. Dessutom lyckades producent Pharrell Williams modernisera klassisk Clipse. Du får Pusha T och Malice resa från banbrytande drograp till framträdande i Vatikanen. I avsnittet även träff med mannen som ger new age afrobeat ett ansikte – Obongjayar.

One of the greatest things about roots music in general, and bluegrass specifically, is that it continually brings in new generations of players to the fold. These young artists cut their teeth on the classics of the genre and then, very often, branch out into new directions, pushing the boundaries of the form, and inventing new styles while reinvigorating the overall framework of the music they love. Ettore Buzzini only recently graduated from high school, but you might never guess that from listening to his new album Blue Blue Blue. I chanced upon his performance in my new hometown of Charlotte, NC, which is adjacent to Ettore's home in Mooresville. At the show, I was intrigued with his faithful renditions of traditional bluegrass numbers contrasted with his classical music-leaning originals, coupled with grassy versions of hits by artists like Pharrell Williams and The Beatles. While working on an upcoming episode on the band Scythian this week, I noticed that Ettore was opening for them in Galax, VA this weekend, so I thought, why not have an opening podcast for the opening band, so to speak? Here is the result, a conversation with the banjo phenomenon who is on the Patuxent Records label, which helped bring in established stars like Danny Paisley, Mark Schatz and Michael Cleveland alongside him to play on his forthcoming album Blue Blue Blue.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show started the week with a mix of inspiration, headline-making celebrity stories, and major news. The crew reflected on gratitude and faith before diving into some of the biggest topics making headlines, including the ongoing investigation into the death of Mississippi teen Nolan Wells, whose funeral was held as family members continue seeking answers while awaiting official autopsy results. The show also discussed Will Smith’s dramatic new look after the Oscar winner debuted a shaved head during an appearance at the E1 Monaco Grand Prix, a transformation that quickly went viral across social media. Meanwhile, listeners weighed in on whether friends should expose cheating partners, sparking a lively debate about loyalty, honesty, and minding your business. The show also covered a bizarre incident involving Jay-Z and Beyoncé after a 63-year-old driver crashed through the gates of their East Hampton estate. Authorities say the man appeared confused and found no evidence that the couple was specifically targeted. In sports, Spain captured the 2026 FIFA World Cup title with a dramatic 1-0 extra-time victory over Argentina, ending Lionel Messi’s title defense and giving Spain its second men’s World Cup championship. The crew also discussed reports that fans booed President Donald Trump during the trophy presentation and laughed about a viral broadcast mistake in which Pharrell Williams was mistakenly identified as A$AP Rocky. Elsewhere, news headlines included the U.S. military saying its mission involving Iran remains ongoing following deadly attacks on American service members in Jordan and Iraq, while NAACP leaders gathered in Chicago to focus on voting rights and increasing voter turnout ahead of upcoming elections.

What are the best FIFA World Cup 2026 kits, and why do so many modern football shirts look worse than their vintage predecessors? What is the difference between a bootleg and a knockoff? When does a garment become vintage, true vintage, or archive fashion? Why does fashion feel like it is in a down cycle—and why are Leviticus, Obsession, Backrooms, and Longlegs part of the same cultural conversation?Sol and Michael return for an episode about sports fandom, fanaticism, horror movies, and “integrated fashion”: the idea that clothing increasingly absorbs the hobbies, communities, media, politics, and rituals people build their lives around. Starting with food influencers, perfume storytelling, and a fit check featuring Keep Earth jeans, vintage U.S. Open golf tees, a 1999 Slipknot shirt, Iron Heart denim chaps, raw denim, Grailed, and Self Edge, they examine how collector knowledge, age, scarcity, and internet language reshape what counts as vintage menswear or archive fashion.The pair then break down bootleg versus knockoff culture through New York Knicks victory shirts, anime football jerseys from Mexico, Goku and Neon Genesis Evangelion kits, Grateful Dead lot tees, rare Daft Punk bootlegs, vintage movie T-shirts, Liquid Blue blanks, and Lithuania's legendary 1992 Olympic basketball uniforms. They ask why fan-made merchandise can carry more cultural meaning than officially licensed sportswear, how Fanatics and heat-pressed jerseys changed sports merch, and why vintage football shirts now function as streetwear, collectibles, and fashion history.Then comes a full World Cup kit review. Sol and Michael debate the best 2026 FIFA World Cup jerseys, praise DR Congo and Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), criticize the USMNT flag-based kit, and revisit iconic soccer shirts including the USA 1994 denim kit, Japan's 1998 flame goalkeeper jersey, Mexico 1998, England 1990, Chile 1998, Croatia 1998, Germany 1994, Jamaica 1998, and Nigeria 2018. They also discuss collars, national identity, heritage design, team arrival fits, tournament dress codes, Wimbledon whites, and Andre Agassi's acid-wash Nike tennis style.From there, the conversation moves into Paris Men's Fashion Week and fashion's current down cycle: Balenciaga after Demna, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Pharrell Williams at Louis Vuitton, Rick Owens x adidas SS27 inflatable air-conditioned sportswear, latex and fetish aesthetics, Meta smart glasses, privacy, AI surveillance, and influencer culture. The hosts examine 424 casting Clavicular, Woah Vicky, online lolcow culture, fashion-media ragebait, and the widening gap between viral runway moments and serious editorial fashion writing and research. They also connect World Cup politics to Iran and the United States, debate fashion's political silence, and review Zohran Mamdani's soccer style.Finally, Sol reviews the new era of horror movies, including Leviticus, Obsession, Backrooms, Longlegs, Cuckoo, Talk to Me, It Follows, Hereditary, Midsommar, The Lighthouse, Paranormal Activity, Insidious, Cloverfield, and The Blair Witch Project. Why are low-budget, internet-native, character-driven horror films connecting now? Is Longlegs a great supernatural crime procedural with a weak ending? Is Leviticus one of the best horror movies of 2026? And why does horror merchandise feel like the next archive-fashion obsession?We hope you enjoy just as much as we did recording.Lots of love,Sol TIMESTAMPS:0:00 — Best World Cup Kits, Bootlegs and Horror Movies1:11 — Pair of Kings Podcast Intro1:32 — Food Influencers, PerfumeTok and Lifestyle Marketing5:11 — What Counts as Vintage, True Vintage or Archive Fashion?8:57 — Fit Check: Keep Earth Jeans, U.S. Open Tees and Fanatics15:03 — Vintage Slipknot, Iron Heart Chaps and Raw Denim23:09 — Knicks Fanaticism and Fair-Weather Fandom27:13 — Knicks Bootleg Shirts and Fan-Made Sports Merch29:35 — Bootleg vs Knockoff Fashion Explained30:25 — Mexico's Anime Football Jersey Bootlegs31:48 — Grateful Dead Lot Shirts and Bootleg T-Shirt History33:12 — Lithuania 1992 Olympic Basketball Merch35:16 — Vintage T-Shirts in Thailand and Rare Merch Blanks37:14 — Daft Punk Bootleg Tees37:57 — World Cup 2026 Kit Review Begins41:43 — DR Congo and Côte d'Ivoire: Best Kits of 202643:29 — Best Vintage World Cup Jerseys Ever49:00 — National Identity and the Perfect USA Soccer Kit51:42 — Wimbledon Dress Codes and Andre Agassi Style54:11 — Balenciaga, Demna and Oversized Fashion56:37 — Why Fashion Feels Boring in 202658:50 — Rick Owens x adidas SS27 and Inflatable Fashion1:00:51 — Meta Smart Glasses, Privacy and AI Surveillance1:04:14 — Vinted Conspiracies and Internet Panic1:08:45 — How Horror Movies Changed After Found Footage1:10:43 — Leviticus, Obsession, It Follows and A24 Horror1:12:36 — Cuckoo and Longlegs Review1:13:27 — Longlegs: Great Setup, Weak Ending1:16:52 — Leviticus and Backrooms Review1:17:11 — Toy Story 5, iPads and Screen Culture1:19:44 — World Cup Politics, Iran and the United States1:21:52 — Why Fashion Brands Avoid Political Commentary1:24:13 — Zohran Mamdani's World Cup Style1:26:03 — 424, Clavicular and Ragebait Runway Casting1:27:09 — Lolcow Culture, Woah Vicky and Fashion Media1:31:23 — Fashion Algorithms vs Editorial Research1:32:44 — Song of the Week: Meat Loaf and Sisqó1:36:57 — Shaolin Soccer and Chrome Hearts---Episode Tags: Pair of Kings podcast, fashion podcast, integrated fashion, World Cup 2026 kits, best World Cup jerseys, vintage football shirts, vintage soccer jerseys, football shirt fashion, blokecore, bootleg vs knockoff, bootleg T-shirts, archive fashion, vintage menswear, vintage tees, sports merchandise, Fanatics jerseys, Grateful Dead lot shirts, Lithuania 1992 basketball, Japan 1998 jersey, USA 1994 denim kit, Mexico 1998 kit, Nigeria 2018 kit, DR Congo kit, Côte d'Ivoire kit, Rick Owens adidas, Paris Fashion Week menswear, Balenciaga, Demna, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Pharrell Louis Vuitton, Meta smart glasses privacy, 424 Clavicular, fashion media, Leviticus review, Obsession movie, Backrooms movie, Longlegs review, best horror movies 2026Sol Thompson and Michael Smith explore the world and subcultures of fashion, interviewing creators, personalities, and industry insiders to highlight the new vanguard of the fashion world.

The R&B icon, dance king and B2K frontman returns to We Sound Crazy for one of the most joyful, grown and reflective conversations of the season. Sitting with hosts Phillionaire, Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony of Louis York, and Tamone Bacon, Omarion comes in talking about his brand new album O2, a deliberate sequel and 20-year answer to his 2005 solo debut O. He walks the crew through the singles The One (built off a Pharrell Williams sample) and Fantasy (a love letter to the divine feminine), the new generation of writers he chose to work with, and why he is more intentional than ever about energy, mental health and the people he lets into the studio. The conversation also goes deep on the spiritual layer he is building under his music, including sound baths, meditation and the philosophy behind his book The Power of Choosing Joy. The episode runs back two full decades of his career too. Omarion revisits his first ever booked job (the moment he decided not to take his braids out for the audition), the You Got Served era that crowned him King of Dance, the B2K mini-movie videos inspired by Michael Jackson, and the legendary Underdogs era at the same studio that birthed the song Oh when Tank walked down the hallway and told him he needed it. He gets emotional about the B2K reunion and the Millennium Tour, breaking down the atonement and forgiveness behind the group's comeback, the family man versions of his brothers Boog, Raz, and Fizz, and how stepping back on stage together helped them heal childhood traumas in real time. He talks the mentors he calls and the ones he wishes he could (Pharrell, Rick Rubin, Jay Z, Kevin Liles), his partnership with Janine McLean, his action drama series Wild Rose on All Black, and his commitment to becoming what he calls a soul school for the next generation. Press play and let Omarion take you to soul school. We Sound Crazy is your backstage pass to all things music and culture. Special thanks to our We Sound Crazy team!

Part I: The Architecture of the Guest ExperienceLa Bottega Collective designs and produces the physical and sensory touchpoints of the luxury hotel stay, from bathroom formulations and textiles to amenities, gifting, and retail, working with 15,000 properties across 117 countries, from the world's most recognized hotel groups such as Aman and Four Seasons, to the finest independent properties such as Passalacqua and Il San Pietro di Positano. Tommaso Pacini, CEO of La Bottega Collective, argues that the guest experience is not a collection of amenities but a coherent sensory language, and that the hotels who understand this are the ones building something guests cannot find, replicate, or buy anywhere else.In Part I of this episode, Tommaso walks through how La Bottega Collective reads a property before designing a single touchpoint, why the choice between licensed and fully custom product programs is ultimately a question of time and conviction rather than budget, and how the most effective guest experience artifacts extend the emotional memory of a stay well beyond checkout.Thank you La Bottega Collective for making this episode possible.

His recent projects include the Edition Lake Como, W Rome, which he credits with catalyzing what W Hotels internally called its 2.0 positioning, and the Hotel Bauer Venice, acquired out of a bankruptcy process in partnership with Mohari Hospitality and flagged with Rosewood. He is currently developing a proprietary hotel brand, with a Paris property featuring Pharrell Williams as creative director serving as its first expression.Omnam operates across the full development stack, from site identification and capital structuring through to brand selection, design intent, and operational oversight. Omnam's LPs include institutional investor Bain Capital, and Mohari Hospitality, with whom David has built a partnership centered on a shared conviction about where luxury hospitality is heading. Omnam has worked with several major third party operators, and that breadth of exposure now informs both its underwriting discipline and its decision to build its own brand from a position of genuine industry knowledge rather than ego.In this episode, Nadine sits down with David to explore what it really takes to build a multi-billion euro development platform in luxury hospitality, from navigating fundraising from institutional capital and large family offices to acquiring one of Venice's most storied hotels out of bankruptcy.INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTSDavid's deal framework, and why any project where success is contingent on factors outside Omnam's control is a passHow the Hotel Bauer acquisition came together out of a bankruptcy process, with competing global bidders, layered political dynamics, and a timeline that tested everyone involvedUltra-luxury brand dilution and which operators are most exposed as generational wealth transfer acceleratesDavid's view on ADR stabilization, total in-hotel spend capture, and why the P&L conversation that matters most is not the one most investors are havingWhy David believes hotel operators should exit F&B operations, and what a properly aligned fee structure looks like from an owner's perspectiveThe tension at the center of building a scalable brand from a singular, heritage-driven flagship assetWhat David learned from managing institutional capitalLearn more about Omnam's portfolio here.Follow Omnam on Instagram here.

Keep winning! Felecia Hatcher CEO of Black Ambition, the national entrepreneurial initiative founded by Grammy-winning artist Pharrell Williams. Black Ambition provides capital, mentorship, mental wellness support, and a nationally competitive platform for Black and Hispanic founders, particularly those from HBCUs and underserved communities. Throughout the conversation, Hatcher breaks down the mission of Black Ambition, how its competition works, success stories, the mentorship pipeline, and her personal entrepreneurial journey from being a self‑described “C student” to running a major national innovation fund. Purpose of the Interview 1. Introduce Black Ambition’s Mission and Impact To explain how Black Ambition funds, mentors, and accelerates Black and Hispanic founders, awarding millions in capital and building pathways to long-term entrepreneurial success. 2. Educate Entrepreneurs on How to Compete Successfully Hatcher breaks down the application process, common mistakes, and how to stand out in one of the nation’s most competitive entrepreneurial prize competitions. 3. Inspire Through Transparency and Personal Storytelling Her journey—from a C student to tech entrepreneur, to CEO working directly with Pharrell—models what perseverance and creativity can achieve. 4. Spread Awareness of Black Ambition Resources & Events She highlights opportunities like Demo Day, masterclasses, mentorship cohorts, and the Fundable Founders Forum. Key Takeaways 1. Black Ambition Creates “Unprecedented Access” for Black & Brown Founders Hatcher emphasizes the organization’s mission of closing opportunity gaps caused by misaligned mentorship and unequal access to funding.Black Ambition invests capital, provides structured mentorship, and connects entrepreneurs to world-class partners (e.g., Louis Vuitton). 2. Highly Competitive National Competition 2,500–3,000 applications annually Only 250 semifinalists Semifinalists enter a three‑month cohort with elite mentorship Top teams advance to Demo Day for capital awards and follow-on support Categories include HBCU, National Finalists, Top Prize, and People’s Choice.. Hatcher stresses: Success leaves clues.Many past winners share insights, host office hours, and guide new applicants. 3. The Process Itself Makes Founders Stronger Hatcher says repeated applications build clarity, sharpen pitches, and transform entrepreneurs—even if they don’t win the first time. She cites an example: Lawrence Phillips, founder of Green Book Global, who succeeded on his third try. 4. Holistic Approach: Mental Health & Wellness Along with capital and mentorship, Black Ambition offers mental-wellness support because entrepreneurship is emotionally taxing.Founders are encountering proximity to wealth and power for the first time, and need guidance on transparency, investor expectations, and emotional resilience. 5. Black Women Are Fastest-Growing Entrepreneurs—But Need Teams Hatcher notes that Black women lead in entrepreneurship but often operate without teams.Black Ambition does not invest in solopreneurs; founders must demonstrate team-building capacity to create economic multiplier effects in communities. 6. Pharrell’s Why: Opening Doors He Once Needed Pharrell invests in Black Ambition because: He once needed others to “believe in him until he could believe in himself.” He wants to dismantle gatekeeping in industries where Black talent exists but opportunity does not. He believes “talent is not equally distributed by zip code, but opportunity can be.” 7. Felecia Hatcher’s Personal Origin Story Her credibility comes from lived experience: A “C student” told she’d never make it to college College dropout Built multiple tech companies Founded Black Tech Week and the Center for Black Innovation Comes from a family of Jamaican farmers and Georgia builders who were “entrepreneurs before the word was used.”. Her takeaway: Creativity builds pathways to success that traditional systems overlook. 8. The Event is Public – and Transformational Black Ambition’s Demo Day is open to the public, creating visibility, inspiration, and networking opportunities for founders and supporters.

It's a rainy Friday in Colorado and Mike and Tony are in full "we needed the moisture" mode. This week the boys go deep on the invisible bee logistics network holding American agriculture together (yes, really), react to a robot getting its battery confiscated mid-flight, debate whether anyone actually needs a humanoid robot, and somehow end up on piranhas, flying fish, and the most cursed Olympic marathon in history. Plus: Trump's $1.78 billion slush fund, the death of the Colbert era, Trump phones that are basically gold Obama phones, Waymo taxis haunting an Atlanta cul-de-sac, and the neurological phenomenon that makes Pharrell Williams see colors when he hears music. Another week, another rabbit hole. Cheers! m&t

Ten years ago, Maggie Rogers was a senior at NYU, scrambling to finish a song for a music production class she was close to failing. The guest critic that week happened to be Pharrell Williams. She played him "Alaska," a track she'd written in about fifteen minutes. It is a bit of folk songwriting crossed with the electronic music she'd fallen for studying abroad. Pharrell told her he'd never heard anything that sounded like it. Someone was filming. The clip went viral, and it launched Maggie into pop stardom. Ten years later, she's released three studio albums, earned a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, and gone back to school to pick up a master's from Harvard Divinity School, where she studied the spirituality of public gatherings. And in the last few months she's been as visible offstage as on — advocating for free speech in DC, performing for 200,000 people at a protest in Minneapolis alongside Joan Baez, and delivering a haunting performance during the final run of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which CBS is ending in May. This week host Charlie Harding got to sit down with Maggie live at Chelsea Studios, in front of a room of current NYU students. It's the same school, ten years later, now with Charlie in the professor's chair and Maggie as the visiting artist. SONGS DISCUSSED Maggie Rogers "Alaska" Maggie Rogers "Better" Maggie Rogers "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)" Maggie Rogers "Different Kind of World" Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" Bob Dylan "The Times They Are a-Changin'" USA for Africa "We Are the World" More Newsletter Learn more about your ad choices.

To inspire listeners about resilience, innovation, and the importance of culturally inclusive travel resources.

Despite career success, he felt unfulfilled and decided to pursue his passion for travel, leading to the creation of Green Book Global. Travel Experience Traveled to 30+ countries across all seven continents, including Antarctica, in less than a year. Realized the need for a platform addressing “traveling while Black” concerns—safety, cultural acceptance, and inclusivity.

Offers city-level Black-friendly scores, road trip planners, and Black-owned restaurant recommendations. Over 150,000 app downloads in 2025; partnered with Expedia; strong social media presence. Black Ambition Program Phillips applied three times before reaching semifinals, emphasizing persistence. Program provided funding opportunities and a transformative Evoke Wellness experience. His personal “why” statement:“I’m a protective and innovative steward of Black restoration and healing.” Impact & Vision Advocates systemic change by partnering with destinations to improve inclusivity. Highlights the economic power of Black travelers (over $140 billion annually). Encourages Black travelers to explore global opportunities beyond U.S. racial constraints. Notable Quotes “You can be successful and still not be happy.” — On leaving a lucrative career for passion. “I’m a protective and innovative steward of Black restoration and healing.” — His guiding principle. “There’s riches in niches.” — On unapologetically focusing on Black travelers. “Just because somebody said no doesn’t mean they said no to you—they said no at that time.” — On persistence in entrepreneurship. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
