How can today's workforce be prepared to connect with a global audience while still nurturing real, local community ties? At Pasadena City College's Future of Work Conference, Dr. Salvatrice Cummo's conversation with Julie Uhrman, co-founder of Angel City FC, offers a fresh perspective on addressing this challenge. Angel City isn't just changing the game for women's sports; it's showing how a team can create a global impact while staying true to its community-focused values.  Julie's take on this evolving landscape demonstrates the shift in what's needed from professionals—storytelling skills, fostering genuine connections, and leading with equity.

You'll learn:  How fostering local community ties can prepare the workforce for global engagement. Why inclusive leadership is a competitive advantage for building lasting audience connections. Real-world examples show how to balance local impact with global ambition. Which essential skills training programs we should focus on for global career readiness. Why values-driven organizations are key for future workforce development.

As the longest serving female CEO of a U.S. publicly traded company, Christie led Playboy's expansion from print to cable TV to online, mobile and ecommerce, massively growing revenue including global retail sales reaching nearly a billion dollars in her last year at the helm. Throughout the interview, Christie discusses the importance of embracing change and innovation, highlighting the need for businesses to adapt in a dynamic and unpredictable market. She emphasizes the value of a diverse leadership team, sharing examples of how varied perspectives can drive creativity and problem-solving. Christie also stresses the significance of maintaining a direct relationship with consumers in an ever-evolving marketplace, urging companies to prioritize consumer data ownership to create their own strategic advantage.—Guest BioChristie Hefner is a seasoned professional with more than thirty years' experience at executive levels in both public and private companies, as well as multiple company directorships.

She was on the Fortune 100 Most Powerful Women list for three years.—Guest Quote"There is so much research that shows companies outperform when they have diverse leadership. But it doesn't just happen. And if the only people that are working to identify talent are white men, then you're likely to play in that lane because people refer the people they know or they have an unconscious bias towards someone who seems more like them. If you're intentional about it, you'll build a diverse team, and then the question is about making sure all those voices are heard." – Christie Hefner—Time Stamps *(01:10) Christie's Legacy*(04:40) Leading massive change*(07:49) The power of diverse leadership*(13:19) Balancing innovation and discipline*(15:15) Playing to your strengths as a brand*(20:17) Maintaining your consumer relationships*(23:29) How Christie generated nearly $1B in global retail for Playboy in one year*(25:18) The need for more women executives*(27:56) What Christie is excited for next—LinksCheck out PlayboyConnect with Tom Butta on LinkedInCheck out the Airship Website

Paxton Quigley Spotlight today on High Society with guest host Jorge Hermida only on Cannabis Radio. Prior to authoring books, Paxton worked as a Director in Community Relations for Playboy Enterprises, Inc., Los Angeles, for five years, and reported to Hugh M. Hefner and Christie Hefner. She was at Playboy in its heyday, the cable network had just started up, the magazine at the time had over 5 million readers. So we talk about how Paxton embraced this icon of the counterculture and an iconic figure in Hugh Hefner. Paxton worked with actor, Robert Wagner, as the promotional director for two years for the Jimmy Steward National Relay Marathon in San Monica, California, and was also the editor-in-chief of The Valley Magazine in Sherman Oaks, CA., You chair your family foundation, “Pathways to Success From School to Work”, at the University of Chicago. She's on the Board of Trustees of the Institute for Career Development, NYC. So we talk about the charitable efforts and how the doors to these opportunities were opened to her.

Christie Hefner is no stranger to leadership. She graduated Summa cum laude from Brandeis University and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. After free-lancing for the Boston Phoenix for a year, she joined Playboy Enterprises in Chicago where she became President in 1982 and Chairman of the board and Chief Executive Officer in 1988. Christie is the longest serving female chief executive officer of a publicly traded company – serving in that capacity for 20 years. She now serves on several corporate and non-profit boards of directors and is always busy in charitable affairs as well as simply making a difference in the world. Christie has always been a living example of someone with all of the “critical skills,” and these days is particularly interested in continuous education.

In This Episode In this edition of The Jewelry District, you’ll hear JCK editor-in-chief Victoria Gomelsky and news director Rob Bates talk with Andrea Hill, CEO of Hill Management Group. Andrea says that in order to stand out in this ever-evolving jewelry world, your company needs a story. The trio also covers climate change and technology. Listen Now[EMBED] Show Notes00:26 Rob and Victoria introduce Andrea Hill, CEO of Hill Management Group.05:57 Andrea describes what the jewelry industry is missing, based on past retail management experience.10:15 Building a successful jewelry business is all about telling a story, and Andrea explains what jewelers need to do just that.14:20 Climate change is real, and Andrea tells us about the “Kindness Economy.”15:13 Andrea serves in a mentorship role and leaves us the pillars to success. Episode CreditsHosts: Rob Bates and Victoria GomelskyEditor: Olivia BrileyProducer and engineer: Natalie ChometPlugs: jckonline.com, @jckmagazine Show Recap Introducing Andrea HillBased in eastern central Wisconsin, Andrea started her tenure in the jewelry industry at Rio Grande. Before she made it there, she worked in a billiards store that started selling video equipment, making her store one of the first video rental stores in the country, pre-Blockbuster. She also worked at Playboy Enterprises, building up their licensing for videos and creating a video catalog. She then bounced around companies as a CEO before landing in the jewelry industry. What The Industry Is MissingAndrea describes her company, Hill Management Group, where she helps people get ready for entering the digital age. You’ll hear her discuss what she has learned from other industries and what the jewelry industry should be taking away from them. She emphasizes that your jewelry company can’t just be the oldest around anymore, as people no longer have to settle for their neighborhood store for jewelry expertise. Jewelry Retail As Storytelling Andrea talks about need to have a rich content strategy. In order to develop your brand in the most efficient way possible, Andrea says you need to know who you are, what you do that makes you different, and why you matter in order to succeed—and that’s just the start. You then need to merchandise your store with products that fit that theme, and someone should always be creating new copy for your website. Kindness EconomyPost-recession, the vast majority of us have accepted that climate change is real and happening, and that something needs to be done about it. We need to be aware of the fact that we are not the center of the world, and other spaces and living things matter too. Andrea describes what she calls the “Kindness Economy” and what customers expect from the retailers they buy from. The Jewelry Industry Should Be Fun Switching topics to the mentor work Andrea does—she argues that mainstream jewelry has become far too generic for its own good. She once again emphasized the importance of your store’s story, giving an example of this in practice. Andrea concludes by telling us all to learn, try new things, experiment, and be willing to fail.

Билли Айлиш запускает собственное радиошоу на Apple Music. Поп-звезда Билли Айлиш (Billie Eilish) запускает собственное радиошоу на станции Beats 1 сервиса Apple Music. Певица написала в своём твиттере, что программа будет называться "мое радио с папой" ("me & dad Radio"), а первый выход в эфир состоится вечером 8 мая. В качестве иллюстрации Айлиш выложила свое детское фото с отцом. Шоу будет посвящено беседам Билли и её отца о музыке. Отец Айлиш – актёр Патрик О'Коннелл, в чей послужной список входят роли в таких телешоу, как "Баскетс", "Западное крыло" и "Полиция Нью-Йорка". В интервью с Зейном Ловом Билли отметила, что радиошоу будет отличаться от её предыдущей передачи на Beats 1 под названием "У группиз тоже есть чувства" ("Groupies Have Feelings Too"), выходившей при участии её брата Финнеаса. Она заявила, что у нового проекта будет шесть выпусков и в одном из них также появится её мама. - Мой папа и я часто делимся друг с другом музыкой, папа показал мне некоторые из моих самых любимых песен, а я показала ему песни, которые он обожает, - пояснила Билли. Вышел 17-й альбом Моби, в котором сошлись две музыкальные эпохи. 17-й по счету альбом Moby под названием "All Visible Objects" вышел на всех платформах 15 мая. В него входят, в числе прочего, уже опубликованные в виде синглов "Power Is Taken" и "Too Much Change". Пластинка, по сути, представляет собой комбинацию стилей, которые принесли Моби славу как гению танцевальной музыки. Первая ее половина - типичные 90-е: хаус, электр, рэйв, техно и даб, вторая состоит из эмбиентных пьес, переполненных фортепианными пассажами и интересными спецэффектами, над которыми плывет мягкий роботизированный голос Моби. Самой мощной песней альбома остается “Power Is Taken,” на которой исполнил партию вокала участрик Dead Kennedys Ди Эйч Пелигро (D.H. Peligro) Релиз альбома пришлось перенести из-за коронавируса с марта на май. Все средства от продаж пластинки пойдут на благотворительность, причём прибыль от каждого из треков будет направлена в отдельный фонд. Среди них – организации, занимающиеся охраной и спасением природы и животных, а также Американский союз защиты гражданских свобод и организации, продвигающие растительные альтернативы мясу, молочной пище и яйцам. Хакеры похитили тысячи личных данных и юридических материалов мировых звезд - от Дрейка до Мадонны Хакеры похитили тысячи личных данных и юридических материалов селебрити, взломав серверы юридической компании Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks, которая работает со многими звездами мирового значения. В качестве подтверждения они выложили фотокопии контрактов Мадонны. В компании подтвердили утечку. В распоряжении преступников находится около 756 гигабайт личных данных таких знаменитостей, как Drake, U2, The Weeknd, Lil Nas X, ЛеБрон Джеймс (LeBron James), Никки Минаж (Nicky Minaj), Барбара Стрейзанд (Barbra Streisand), Брюс Спрингстин, Мэрайя Керри, Спайк Ли (Spike Lee), Мадонна (Madonna), сэр Элтон Джон (Elton John), Барри Манилоу (Barry Manilow), Род Стюарт (Rod Stewart), Lady Gaga и многих других. Кроме того, юристы Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks также представляли интересы компании HBO, EMI Music Group, MTV, Playboy Enterprises, Spotify и другие. Среди их звездных клиентов - Майк Тайсон, Роберт де Ниро и тысячи других артистов. Уточняется, что хакеры похитили рабочие соглашения, конфиденциальные сделки, детали контрактов и остальные личные документы суперзвезд. Злоумышленники потребовали от компании 21 миллион долларов, однако ее руководство отказалось вести с ними переговоры и передало дело в Федеральное бюро расследований. Представитель ФБР заявил, что хакеры смогли проникнуть в систему в то время, когда все были слишком заняты пандемией коронавируса. Из солидарности с бастующими музыкальная индустрия США встанет на паузу. Сегодня, многие представители музыкальной индустрии США примут участие в большом блэкауте - в ответ на убийства Джорджа Флойда, Бреонны Тейлор, Ахмауд Арбери и других чернокожих граждан полицией артисты объявили забастовку. В сообщении об акции, которая начала распространяться с хэштегом #TheShowMustBePaused, содержится призыв к деятелям культуры присоединиться к акции, чтобы "спровоцировать ответственность и общественные изменения". Как заявлют артисты, на один день музыкальная индустрия встанет на паузу, "чтобы отключиться от работы и восстановить связь с нашим сообществом". Акцию поддержали множество музыкантов - от Билли Айлиш (Billie Eilish) до Тейлор Свифт (Taylor Swift). Такие лейблы, как Columbia, Def Jam, Interscope, Sony и Warner Music Group, заявили, что будут поддерживать забастовку, хотя точные масштабы их действий различаются. В своих выступлениях на сайте TheShowMustBePaused.com организаторы Джамиля Томас (старший директор по маркетингу в Atlantic) и Брианна Агиманг (ранее - исполнительный директор Atlantic, ныне являющаяся старшим менеджером Platoon) рассказывают, что #TheShowMustBePaused является "инициативой, созданной двумя чернокожими женщинами в музыке, которые не могут мириться с проявлениями расизма и неравенства, которые происходят от зала заседаний до бульваров". Женщины сообщили: "Мы не будем продолжать вести бизнес, как обычно, не учитывая жизнь черного населения". "Музыкальная индустрия - это многомиллиардная индустрия. Индустрия, которая получает прибыль преимущественно от черного искусства. Наша миссия состоит в том, чтобы привлечь к ответственности всю отрасль, включая крупные корпорации и партнерские организации, которые извлекают выгоду из трудов, борьбы и успехов чернокожих артистов. Обязанность этих организаций - защищать и расширять возможности чернокожих общин, которые сделали их непропорционально богатыми и непрозрачными". Как сообщили Томас и Агьеманг, протест может выйти за рамки 24-часовой акции. Некоторые лейблы, в том числе Interscope Geffen A & M, Capitol и WMG, прямо поддержали бастующих: например, IGA обещает внести вклад в организацию по освобождению под залог, юристов по оказанию помощи и создание "благотворительной организации, нацеленной на создание экономических возможностей в сообществе чернокожих". Interscope также заявил, что не выпустит новую музыку на этой неделе. Universal Music Group, в которую входят Interscope, Capitol, Republic и другие, также объявила о создании целевой группы по инклюзивности. Columbia Records ограничилась пресс-релизом, в котором назвала 2 июня "днем для размышлений и поиска путей продвижения вперед в знак солидарности". Sony Music заявила: "Это будет день действий, направленных на существенные изменения в наших сообществах как сейчас, так и в будущем". Генеральный директор Warner Music Group Стив Купер сообщил сотрудникам WMG, что им разрешается взять выходной, "чтобы сосредоточиться на помощи себе и другим". Spotify обрисовал в общих чертах ряд способов, которыми компания будет поддерживать акцию, включая добавление черного логотипа и изображения заголовка во многие ведущие списки воспроизведения, которые были обновлены, чтобы "отражать текущую ситуацию"; Избранные плейлисты будут включать в себя 8-минутную 46-секундную дорожку молчания в качестве минуты памяти Джорджа Флойда. Компания поощряет сотрудников уделять время размышлению и обучению и будет сопоставлять финансовые пожертвования, сделанные сотрудниками. Диджеи Apple Music, такие как Zane Lowe и Ebro Darden, отменили свои радиошоу на этот день. Музыканты показали смешанную реакцию на усилия. Radiohead, Куинси Джонс (Quincy Jones, Massive Attack и артисты Third Man Records выразили свою поддержку бастующим. Другие выразили скептицизм по поводу того, что инициатива будет способствовать любым реальным изменениям. "Я не нападаю ни на кого лично, я люблю вас всех, но эта идея закрытия музыкальной индустрии кажется мне тухлой", - написал Джастин Вернон из Bon Iver.

Билли Айлиш запускает собственное радиошоу на Apple Music. Поп-звезда Билли Айлиш (Billie Eilish) запускает собственное радиошоу на станции Beats 1 сервиса Apple Music. Певица написала в своём твиттере, что программа будет называться "мое радио с папой" ("me & dad Radio"), а первый выход в эфир состоится вечером 8 мая. В качестве иллюстрации Айлиш выложила свое детское фото с отцом. Шоу будет посвящено беседам Билли и её отца о музыке. Отец Айлиш – актёр Патрик О'Коннелл, в чей послужной список входят роли в таких телешоу, как "Баскетс", "Западное крыло" и "Полиция Нью-Йорка". В интервью с Зейном Ловом Билли отметила, что радиошоу будет отличаться от её предыдущей передачи на Beats 1 под названием "У группиз тоже есть чувства" ("Groupies Have Feelings Too"), выходившей при участии её брата Финнеаса. Она заявила, что у нового проекта будет шесть выпусков и в одном из них также появится её мама. - Мой папа и я часто делимся друг с другом музыкой, папа показал мне некоторые из моих самых любимых песен, а я показала ему песни, которые он обожает, - пояснила Билли. Вышел 17-й альбом Моби, в котором сошлись две музыкальные эпохи. 17-й по счету альбом Moby под названием "All Visible Objects" вышел на всех платформах 15 мая. В него входят, в числе прочего, уже опубликованные в виде синглов "Power Is Taken" и "Too Much Change". Пластинка, по сути, представляет собой комбинацию стилей, которые принесли Моби славу как гению танцевальной музыки. Первая ее половина - типичные 90-е: хаус, электр, рэйв, техно и даб, вторая состоит из эмбиентных пьес, переполненных фортепианными пассажами и интересными спецэффектами, над которыми плывет мягкий роботизированный голос Моби. Самой мощной песней альбома остается “Power Is Taken,” на которой исполнил партию вокала участрик Dead Kennedys Ди Эйч Пелигро (D.H.

US fintechs are nervous about the fintech federal charter. Fintechs in the US are “cautious” about the specialist fintech charter announced last month. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said it would accept applications for special purpose banking licenses for some types of fintech that do business outside the traditional banking system. They then could operate nationwide under one license rather than a patchwork of state-specific regulations. Standard Chartered Bank sees Hong Kong’s virtual bank licence as ticket to new business worldwide. Standard Chartered which was the first traditional bank in the city to apply for the license, hopes it will open up new areas of growth both in the city and overseas. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is poised to issue the first virtual licences by the end of the year as part of a bid to promote fintech and tap into the growing trend for online finance. Beijing to ban new online lending platforms. Chinese authorities laid out 10 measures to increase restrictions on the online peer-to-peer lending sector, state-run news agency Xinhua reports.

Neo-bank Xinja to implement SAP core to take on Australia's Big Four. Australian mobile banking startup Xinja has selected the SAP Cloud for Banking platform to try and take on AUS’ Big Four.

And finally, Playboy is reportedly suing a cryptocurrency platform. Playboy's parent company Playboy Enterprises is suing a Canadian based cryptocurrency company called Global Blockchain Technologies (BLOC) alleging fraud and breach of contract. Playboy Enterprises is alleging that BLOC failed to live up to its end of the contract as in the three months since the deal was made, BLOC has yet to integrate its tech into Playboy's platform, and that it also hasn't paid the $4 million it promised to Playboy as a part of the deal.

This week we take on the industry that has become Playboy Enterprises. Of course we talk about Hef.

Thanks to technology, we are more connected than ever—digitally. But at what cost? How have technologies, like online dating sites and apps like Tinder, changed attitudes and behaviors? How do we choose a partner and stay interested when we have an almost infinite world of choices at our fingertips? Will marriage become a thing of the past? Match.com’s Chief Scientific Advisor Helen Fisher joins Eric Klinenberg, co-author of Modern Romance, and Christie Hefner, former CEO of Playboy Enterprises for a conversation about technology’s toll on intimacy.

Christie Hefner is a woman of many talents - and she knows how to put 'em to great use. In this episode of The Golden Mean, Christie talks about her 13-year journey to becoming CEO & Chairman of Playboy Enterprises and how the election of President Obama changed the course of her career. Christie also breaks down the status of the "Independent Maps" project geared toward reforming the rigged districting process in the state of Illinois.

What do Aretha Franklin, Rodney Dangerfield, and desegregation in New Orleans have in common? Perhaps, surprisingly, the answer is Playboy. Playboy magazine served as a guidebook for young people in the post-war era and taught this upwardly mobile generation how to live a modern, sophisticated, and cool lifestyle. It also supported the Civil Rights movement and the careers of many musicians and comedians. In her new book, Playboy Swings: How Hugh Hefner and Playboy Changed the Face of Music (Beaufort Books, 2015),Patty Farmer explores how Playboy Enterprises, through its magazine, clubs, festivals, and record label, promoted and continues to promote jazz. The podcast discusses how Playboy gave many musicians, including Aretha Franklin and Al Jarreau, some of their earliest stage experience. Farmer also talks about how Heffner’s passion for jazz and racial justice caused him to be a strong advocate for integrating the stage at the Playboy Jazz Festival and in his many clubs. Farmer also shares quite a few good stories. Patty Farmer is acknowledged as the leading expert on all things pertaining to music, entertainment–and the entertainers–of Playboy. She’s also a businesswoman and former model, and has followed the entertainment industry as an insider, as well as an avid fan and archivist all her life. Her first book, The Persian Room Presents, transported readers back to the halcyon days of New York City nightlife. More information about Patty Farmer can be found on her websiteand blog.

Playboy magazine served as a guidebook for young people in the post-war era and taught this upwardly mobile generation how to live a modern, sophisticated, and cool lifestyle. It also supported the Civil Rights movement and the careers of many musicians and comedians.

Host Brad Kearns talks to Vinnie Tortorich, "America's Angriest Trainer!" Vinnie is a popular Hollywood trainer known for helping celebs drop weight quickly with his simple, no-nonsense NSNG strategy (No Sugar, No Grains). Vinnie describes getting his foothold in Hollywood by helping an obese employee of Playboy Enterprises lose a couple hundred pounds. Consequently, he caught the attention of the organization and was soon enrolled to help keep centerfolds in top shape after they received their windfall and started indulging in food accordingly. Vinnie is the author of Fitness Confidential and hosts the popular Angriest Trainer Podcast. He has hosted a very impressive assortment of guests in his 300+ shows, including many leading endurance athletes and primal/paleo authors. In this show, Vinnie describes that he is not an angry person, but he's angry on your behalf for the flaws in the conventional wisdom approach to fitness that result in struggling, suffering, and failed weight loss efforts. He blames trainers for not walking their talk and presiding over failed efforts of clients due to an overly stressful approach that fails to account for the importance of healthy, primal-aligned eating habits. Vinnie's advice for trainers trying to break into the big time is to do good work and let the rest happen naturally. Vinnie describes how his book covers an assortment of topics not found in other fitness books, like how to discern a good personal trainer from a bad one, and how to create an effective coach/athlete relationship for triathletes or runners. He offers an epic quote about the triathlon scene these days where, "it seems like there are more coaches doing the sport than there are participants." Vinnie is a lively character with sharp and refreshing opinions, making for a fun and entertaining show.
