For our final episode recorded live at the CommerceNext Growth show, we welcome two visionary leaders from Tapestry, the global house of brands that includes Coach and Kate Spade: Pooja Chandiramani, VP Global Media Strategy & Planning, Marketing Analytics, Operations and Transformation, and Avinash Kaushik, Brand Strategy & Marketing Transformation.Pooja and Avinash unpack Tapestry's ongoing transformation, which embeds analytics as a core pillar of brand growth. For Coach in particular, analytics isn't just incremental—it's a complete transformation journey. By using data to generate insights that directly drive business impact, Tapestry ensures marketing investments are accountable, measurable, and tied to outcomes.Avinash, a globally recognized thought leader and author, explains how Tapestry embraces intent-centric marketing to connect authentically with consumers. Moving beyond the outdated “accessible luxury” positioning, the company has shifted toward "expressive luxury"—a modern framework that reflects values-driven, authentic consumer engagement, particularly resonant with younger audiences.The conversation dives into the cultural foundations necessary for analytics to thrive. Avinash emphasizes that “culture is more important than data,” crediting Tapestry's CEO Joanne Crevoiserat and senior leadership for creating an environment where data can challenge assumptions and guide decisions. This culture enables bold experiments, including measuring the incrementality of brand marketing—one of the toughest questions in retail.Pooja highlights how creative pre-testing has become a critical unlock. By partnering with Human Made Machine, Tapestry tests campaigns with real audiences before investing media spend. This approach ensures that creative—responsible for up to 70% of marketing impact—delivers measurable results in driving brand awareness and incremental sales. It's a cultural shift, moving from subjective opinions about creative to decisions grounded in data.The episode also explores the role of AI and machine learning in accelerating agility, simplifying decision-making frameworks, and enabling global scalability. Both leaders stress that outcomes-based planning—rather than activity-based planning—keeps Tapestry aligned with its ambitious growth goals.

No one else will be there."Hi: मंच पर आते समय अमित के पैर मानो थम गए थे।En: As he climbed onto the stage, Amit's feet seemed to freeze.Hi: आवाज़ लड़खड़ा रही थी, लेकिन उसने आँखें बंद कीं और गहरी सांस ली।En: His voice was shaky, but he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.Hi: रक्षाबंधन की समरसता का एहसास दिल में जगाकर उसने बोलना शुरू किया।En: Feeling the harmony of Raksha Bandhan in his heart, he began to speak.Hi: "दोस्तों, आज हम यहाँ सिर्फ रक्षाबंधन नहीं, बल्कि इस अद्भुत स्थल के महत्व को समझने के लिए भी जमा हुए हैं..."En: "Friends, today we have gathered here not just for Raksha Bandhan, but to understand the significance of this incredible site..."Hi: उसकी आवाज़ में धीरे-धीरे आत्मविश्वास आ गया।En: Gradually, confidence seeped into his voice.Hi: जब उसने हुमायूँ के मकबरे की कहानियां बताईं, उसकी जीवन की झलकियाँ साझा कीं, तो लोग मंत्रमुग्ध होकर सुनते रहे।En: When he narrated the stories of Humayun's Tomb and shared glimpses of its history, people listened spellbound.Hi: सभी के चेहरों पर मुस्कान थी और तालियों की गूंज ने अमित की झिझक को एक नया आत्मविश्वास दे दिया।En: Smiles adorned everyone's faces, and the echo of applause gave Amit a newfound confidence that dispelled his hesitation.Hi: अमित ने यह प्रस्तुति सफलतापूर्वक दी।En: Amit delivered the presentation successfully.Hi: लोग उसके पास आकर धन्यवाद देने लगे।En: People came to thank him afterward.Hi: वह अब किसी और की तरह नहीं, बल्कि आत्मविश्वास से भरे वक्ता के रूप में खड़ा था।En: He stood there, not like someone else, but as a speaker full of confidence.Hi: और पूजा को अपने प्रोत्साहन का फल मिलता दिखाई दिया।En: And Pooja saw the fruition of her encouragement.Hi: इस कार्यक्रम ने न केवल अमित के डर को दूर किया, बल्कि उसे अपने जुनून को नई आवाज़ दी।En: This event not only dispelled Amit's fears but also gave his passion a new voice.Hi: पूजा ने उसके भीतर के हुनर को पहचाना और उसे बेहतर बनने का अवसर दिया।En: Pooja recognized his talent and provided him the opportunity to become better.Hi: वहाँ खड़े सभी लोगों ने भारतीय विरासत का एक नया पहलू देखा और समझा।En: Everyone present there saw and understood a new facet of Indian heritage.

In conversation with Peter Alessandria regarding insights from his film,” Every Soul Knows: The Joy of Remembering Who We Really Are.” Featuring more than 60interviews with near death experiencers, psychics and mediums , the film explores the idea that Who We Really Are is much more than our physical bodiesand human personality. Peter asks the deepest questions we have all struggled with at some time - What is “Soul"? Are human incarnations voluntarilychosen? What's the purpose of life on the physical plane? Do souls have more than one incarnation, either on Earth or elsewhere? Does the Soul plan its incarnations ahead of time? Do we have "soul groups" that we incarnate with across different lifetimes? Are there contracts or agreementsbetween souls? Do spirit guides or angels assist us during a given lifetime? If so, how? What is karma? What is death? Where is Heaven? And many more….Peter Alessandria is an award-winning,internationally-published photographer , filmmaker, author , TEDx speaker and former entertainment attorney. He's won more than 75 Awards for his work and his photos have been published in newspapers, magazines and online around theworld. Peter is also the author of “Be Bigger Than You Think You Are:Overcoming Our Self-Imposed Limits to Have the Life We Want .” Peter is also the author of the photobook “New YorkCityscapes ” (2018 Amherst Media). The book is a collaboration with six otherNew York City photographers and showcases each photographer's unique take onthe stunning landmarks that make up The Big Apple.

“One of the metaphors that I use is imagining guilt is a faulty check engine light on your car dashboard. Your car has just been serviced, the oil is changed, everything's fine, but the stupid light just keeps going off. It doesn't actually give you any meaningful information, so you can ignore it. You can just say it's broken. Guilt is not a moral compass.”Pooja Lakshmin MD is a clinical psychiatrist in Austin, Texas, specializing in women's health. She's also an assistant professor of psychiatry. During our discussion, we talked about how she differentiates between faux self-care and real self-care, including the obstacles women face internally and externally, and to overcome them. We also discuss how real self-care can help women live lives that are more authentic and more audacious. And Pooja shares her insights about how self-care can help women find their spark and protect it throughout their lives.To read more about inspiring stories about Firestarters like Pooja, grab a copy of my book Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark Into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age at firedupbook.com.Join me on my book tour!

Episode Notes Pooja Kalyan is a former Team USA skater and current Brown University student. Pooja competed in the Junior Grand Prix in 2018, and at Skate America in 2020, before injuries forced her to pause her elite career. At Brown, she co-captains the collegiate team and is passionate about expanding opportunities for skaters at all levels and building a supportive team culture. Pooja also served as an athlete representative on the US Figure Skating board of directors. She serves on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion taskforce for US Figure Figure Skating, and is an ambassador for Diversify Ice.

This week, we're joined by the incredible Pooja Reddy (Kutti Gang) who shares her wild past 24 hours—from opening for Nimesh Patel, doing queer material onstage for the first time, and accidentally coming out to her mom… on the way to a date with a woman. We get into: WhatsApp auntie surveillance Ugadi Pachadi as a personality Sai Baba lore AND Usama's very straight kiss in a game of two-person Spin the Bottle??
Today I speak with Gabrielle Apollon and Pooja Bhatia about the histories behind the persecution of Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, and beyond. Targeted as exemplary “bad people” by demagogue Donald Trump, the stories of both the town and the people of Springfield are brought forward by Pooja Bhatia, who lived both in Haiti and as a journalist lived with the people in Springfield. Complementing Bhatia's local stories of migrants, we have Gabrielle Apollon of the Global Justice Clinic, who tells of the complex “push” factors that drive Haitians from their homeland. We end on a hopeful note—showing how instances of transnational solidarity have succeeded where governments and international governmental bodies have failed.For more information on this topic, please check out our blog.Gabrielle Apollon is the Director of the Haitian Immigrant Rights project at NYU Law's Global Justice Clinic. She also coordinates the Hemispheric Network for Haitian Migrants' Rights, a coalition of Haitian activists, lawyers, and leaders, collaborating to combat the anti-Black racism, exclusion and cyclical displacement Haitians have faced as they've migrated throughout the Western Hemisphere. Gabrielle previously served as Managing Attorney at The Door: A Center for Alternatives, where she represented young people in immigration and family law matters. She holds a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of International Affairs from Columbia University, as well as a law degree from NYU School of Law.Pooja Bhatia is an U.S. writer, editor and teacher who has reported on Haiti and Haitian immigrants for more than 15 years.
