EP:76 In this episode of She Who Dares Wins, Michelle sits down with Nicole, ex-Head Buyer for ASDA and Primark, who walked away from a dream job and paycheque to build a business on her own terms. Now the woman behind The Buyer and Retail Coach, Nicole supports female founders in the product space to go from side hustle to scaling success. They talk side-stepping into entrepreneurship, the myth of the ‘big leap,' and why showing up—even when it's messy—matters more than having it all figured out.Key Timestamps:00:00 – 05:00▶ From Corporate Queen to Founder: Nicole shares why she left a secure, high-flying job in retail to follow her vision.05:00 – 15:00▶ Start Smart, Not Reckless: The power of side-hustling, how most women ease into entrepreneurship, and the financial safety nets that matter.15:00 – 25:00▶ Confidence, Customers & Community: Why showing up (even imperfectly) builds trust, and how emotional connection sells more than any product ever could.25:00 – 35:00▶ Retail Is Changing – Are You?: Nicole breaks down live shopping, SMS marketing, and how brands can sell smarter without a huge budget.35:00 – End▶ Reality Check & Final Wisdom: Why running your own business is hard—but worth it. And why regret should never be louder than your dreams.Key Takeaways:You don't need to quit overnight. You can build while you earn—smart moves over martyrdom.Most of Nicole's clients are women who start during maternity leave or burnout from corporate.Visibility + consistency = opportunity. The clients, press and deals come when you keep showing up.Your business isn't just product—it's the emotion behind it. Build connection, not just inventory.Tech like live shopping and SMS is changing the game for small brands. You don't need a shop front—just a smartphone.You can absolutely do hard things. But first—you have to decide to start.Connect with Nicole:Instagram: @thebuyerandretailcoachPodcast: Start Scale Succeed
Tuesday April 8, 2025 Primark CEO Resigns After Probe
When Adolescense arrived on Netflix last month, it was streamed nearly 25 million times in just four days and sparked a global conversation on the dark side of social media and the lives of teenage boys. But what is it really like to be a teenage boy in 2025? How much attention do they really pay to masculinity influencers? What kind of pressures do they face? And what do they wish adults would understand about them? To discuss all this and more, Róisín Ingle is joined by three teenagers, Dylan O'Malley, Chester Ryan and Daniella Tetteh. We also hear from Jamie Carrick, a facilitator with The Soar Foundation, which delivers wellbeing workshops for teenagers in schools around Ireland. But first, Irish Times reporter Niamh Towey is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week, including the arrest of eight protestors from the Mothers Against Genocide group outside Leinster House, why the head of Primark resigned this week after making “an error of judgement” and why one reader of the Irish Times is suffering from wedding and baby shower fatigue. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In the latest episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc sits down with Phil Wahba, Senior Writer at Fortune, to explore the ever-evolving landscape of retail leadership, consumer behavior, and strategic transformations. Wahba reflects on more than a decade covering retail bankruptcies, leadership shifts, and innovation, highlighting that while consumer desires have remained relatively stable—good value, seamless experiences, and quality products—retailers often struggle to meet these expectations consistently.Wahba shares insights into how some of the biggest names in retail excel by focusing on core strengths. He points to Costco and Walmart as prime examples of companies that continue to thrive by relentlessly pursuing operational efficiency, value pricing, and consistent store execution. In contrast, many department stores have downsized or disappeared because, as Wahba puts it, they “chased the wrong rabbits”—pursuing short-term gains over long-term brand definition. Dillard's stands out by maintaining steady store counts and focusing on a solid merchandising strategy, proving that success hinges on knowing your customer and offering them a clear reason to shop.The conversation then shifts to Hudson's Bay and its recent struggles, which Wahba attributes to a lack of focus on fundamental retail principles and a greater emphasis on real estate extraction. He also touches on the broader implications of retail real estate vacancies, noting that large anchor-store spaces often require creative repurposing—whether converted into smaller retail footprints, medical clinics, or mixed-use developments.Looking ahead, Wahba anticipates a future where technology plays a more backstage role, with the spotlight on operational improvements such as inventory management, demand forecasting, and smoother omnichannel experiences. Shoppers do not seek flashy tech for its own sake; rather, they want frictionless pathways to purchase. The episode also explores how retailers like Foot Locker and Gap might engineer turnarounds under new leadership, taking cues from successful transformations at brands like Abercrombie & Fitch.Wahba underscores that retail “winners” will be those that evolve with shifting consumer expectations while staying true to foundational principles: consistently fair pricing, well-curated inventory, and reliable customer service. The conversation wraps up with a look at up-and-coming brands and international retailers—including Uniqlo—that could make bigger U.S. expansions in the coming years if they adapt carefully to the market's nuances.Whether you're watching for the next big turnaround or seeking to understand why some iconic names falter, this episode offers deep insights into the interplay of leadership, strategy, and consumer loyalty—critical elements shaping the future of modern retail.

250327PC: Wegwerfen statt WaschenMensch Mahler am 27.03.2025Nachhaltigkeit, Fairtrade, Second Hand ist was für Ewig-Gestrige grüne Öko-Freaks. Der neue Trend: nach Fast-Food kommt Fast Fashion groß in Mode. EU-Bürger verbrauchen so viel Kleidung, Schuhe und andere Textilien wie niemals zuvor. 19 Kilogramm pro Kopf und Jahr – 8 Kilo Kleidung, 4 Kilo Schuhe und 7 Kilo Haushaltstextilien. Der Textilkonsum bringt laut der European Environment Agency kurz EEA hohe Belastungen für die Umwelt und das Klima mit sich, etwa durch den Verbrauch von Materialien, Wasser und Landfläche aber auch durch Emissionen, Chemikalien und Mikroplastik. Der Trend: Wegwerfen statt waschen, billig und viel kaufen, kurz oder nie tragen – so gehen die Europäer im Fast-Fashion-Zeitalter mit Mode um. Angekurbelt wird dieses Verhalten von Textilgiganten wie H&M oder Zara, Aldi oder Lidl, die im Wochen-Rhythmus neue Billigkollektionen in die Läden bringen. Kleidung wird dabeiimmer mehr zur Wegwerfware, T-Shirts kaum länger getragen als Plastiktüten.Mit dem chinesischen Modeanbieter Shein nimmt Fast Fashion eine neue Geschwindigkeit auf: Oft wird das asiatische Textunternehmen auch als Ultra-Fast-Fashion-Konzern bezeichnet. In Shein ballen sich Globalisierung und Kapitalismus zu einem Textil-Bollwerk, das bislang ungeahnte Auswirkungen auf Mensch und Natur hat. Was viele der Shein-Fans überzeugt, ist nicht nur das geschickte Marketing, sondern vor allem der Preis: Die Fast-Fashion-Marke Shein ist günstiger als andere Billig-Marken: Während ein Shirt bei H&M meist um die 15 Euro kostet, sind bei Shein viele schon für unter drei Euro zu haben. Giftige Chemikalien, nicht nachvollziehbare Lieferketten, Arbeitszeiten von bis zu 75 Stunden zu Billiglöhnen in Bangladesch. Nachhaltigkeit, fairer Handel und Klimaschutz auf der einen Seite – Wegwerfshirts bei Primark und anderen Textilmultis auf der anderen Seite – alles längst bekannt und nichts geschieht. Der Markt wird's schon richten, sagen Politiker. Mehr wegschauen und Ignoranz geht nicht. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

En las última semanas, han desaparecido de las mesas de la redacción bolsas de anacardos, avellanas, nueces, pistachos y pipas. El ladrón o ladrones solo han robado frutos secos, dejando el dinero y otras cosas de valor intactos.

Monzo – the bank that Steve and Steve have owned for what seems like ages – has been making noises about going public. But will it list in London, or in the US? A lot of UK companies have been listing in the States recently, but Steve D is hoping for a London IPO. Is this one for the AIM or the main market? J.D. Wetherspoon's has released its latest trading update and Steve W thinks it's… fine. Like-for-like sales growth is decent enough, but only really in line with the industry. The company has no realistic price competition from its rivals, but supermarkets are the big challenge. So how will the firm cope with higher tax and NI contributions? From the AIM, Steve D's investment in Ashtead Technology is starting to pay off. But nobody on our show is quite sure why. Revenues are set to come in marginally ahead of expectations, with EBITA (no D) up. Surely that's not enough to set the stock off, though… is it? We haven't talked about FTSE 250 dividend aristocrat Spectris on the show before – but that might have been a mistake. The stock has been bouncing back off its lows recently. It's in the precision measurement space and Steve D knows it from work. But Steve W has concerns over the impact of weak demand from China and its implications for profits. Prologis is still the biggest publicly-listed real estate investment trust (REIT) – we checked. It's heavily exposed to some promising trends that are emerging, but it's cheap right now. With a lower cost of capital than its rivals, the firm is well-positioned to make it through a period of normalising demand. So could it be one for either Steve to buy right now? Steve W has been looking at the latest results from Associated British Foods. It's underwhelming across the board, but especially when it comes to Primark. Despite this, the stock looks cheap right now. And it might be that the retailer's results – disappointing as they are – could justify the entire market cap by itself… We're always interested in Netflix on this show. And Steve D has been looking at a very impressive performance from the world's leading streaming platform. Revenue growth has been picking up and margins are widening, greeting great unit economics. And with its competitive position getting stronger, is it too late to buy the stock? Only on this week's PlayingFTSE Podcast! ► Support the show: Appreciate the show and want to offer your support?

Onde você coloca uma roupa rasgada que não usa mais? E os sapatos, o que fazer quando ficam em mau estado? Na Europa, desde o começo do ano, é proibido colocar têxteis e calçados no lixo comum – mas apesar da boa intenção, a medida continua a ignorar o impacto das indústrias de fast fashion no continente. Em 1º de janeiro de 2025, entrou em vigor na União Europeia uma nova diretiva que proíbe os cidadãos de não realizarem a coleta seletiva do vestuário. Apenas tecidos molhados ou usados na construção civil devem ser descartados com o lixo orgânico, direto para incineração.Já as camisetas furadas e os tênis deteriorados devem ser colocados em pontos de coleta – de onde partirão, em tese, para a reciclagem.“Ainda tem muita roupa e têxteis em geral que são simplesmente jogados no lixo”, salienta Louise Curran, professora de Comércio Internacional da TBS (Toulouse Business School) e especialista na moda sustentável. “As pessoas não sabem a que ponto eles podem ser reaproveitados, ou pensam que se está um pouco estragado, ninguém mais vai querer usar. Perdemos um pouco o hábito se consertar, e as jovens gerações mal sabem costurar um botão.”Outro problema é que, há anos, a reciclagem enfrenta dificuldades para se desenvolver na Europa. Na Bélgica, por exemplo, as associações que recuperam as roupas já não davam conta dos volumes cada vez maiores de peças jogadas fora – no ano passado, subiram 17%, algo jamais visto, relata Franck Kerckhof, diretor-adjunto da federação Ressources.“É claro termos uma obrigação de coleta seletiva dos têxteis é bem-vindo positivo”, diz. “Porém colocaram a carroça na frente dos bois: adotaram essa obrigação antes de implementar um plano para financiá-la. Hoje, são os atores da economia social e solidária que se encarregam da coleta seletiva – e eles não têm vocação de bancar a gestão do lixo dos cidadãos.”Fast fashion sob pressãoEste até poderia ser um “bom problema”, se a qualidade das peças recuperadas nos pontos de coleta não fosse cada vez pior. Com a valorização dos produtos de segunda mão na última década, os consumidores agora tendem a descartar apenas as roupas que não conseguem revender em plataformas especializadas.Para piorar o quadro, grande parte do vestuário que vai parar no lixo é, originalmente, de baixa qualidade e feita com materiais impossíveis de reciclar, como poliéster e acrílico.“Isso está no foco do problema: a atuação dos produtores e, em especial, os de fast fashion e ultra fast fashion. Em resumo: é preciso urgentemente regular esse mercado e que os produtores assumam uma parte dessa responsabilidade sobre como a cadeia deve funcionar desde o como, com a escolha dos tecidos, até o fim da vida de uma peça”, clama Kerckhof.O diretor-adjunto da Ressources defende a adoção de um "ecoimposto" para financiar o destino final destas roupas, a exemplo dos que já existe para vários outros setores como baterias, produtos eletrônicos e pneus. Mas a solução não é tão simples num momento em que o mercado europeu é invadido pelas plataformas de ultra fast fashion chinesas, como Temu e Shein, salienta Curran.“Do ponto de vista logístico, tentar controlar todos esses pequenos pacotes que chegam da Ásia é extremamente complicado. Estamos falando de milhões de pacotes por dia, e não tem como esperar que a alfândega abra cada um e verifique onde e como foram feitos”, indica. “Então, vai ser preciso que as marcas queiram contribuir.”UE aposta em garantir melhor qualidade das marcas do blocoAté o momento, a Comissão Europeia tem preferido pressionar as fabricantes do bloco a adotarem melhores práticas e garantir que elas sejam aplicadas, em vez de impor novos impostos que tornariam a concorrência ainda mais dura com os produtos asiáticos.“As grandes marcas de fast fashion, como H&M, Zara e até Primark, melhoraram muito na transparência da cadeia de produção. Ainda não são perfeitas, mas temos à disposição muitos sites com informações sobre o que é de onde vêm o que estamos comprando, inclusive quanto usou de água, a taxa de reciclabilidade”, afirma a especialista. “Já a ultra fast fashion continua extremamente opaca, o que leva as fast fashion a afirmarem que não estão mais conseguindo concorrer nestas condições.”A pesquisadora britânica participa do projeto Twin Seeds sobre as cadeias globais de valor à luz da crise climática. Ela observa ainda que países produtores de matérias-primas naturais, como o Brasil com o algodão, poderão se beneficiar do eventual aumento da regulamentação sobre o setor têxtil na Europa.“O algodão é uma matéria-prima natural que pode ser reciclada se for monofibra, ou seja, se não estiver misturada com elastano, poliéster ou outro. Ele tem a grande vantagem de não ter origem na indústria fóssil”, frisa. “O Brasil talvez tenha aí uma oportunidade, nesta nova concepção de roupas mais ecorresponsáveis e respeitosos do meio ambiente, se um dia conseguirmos chegar lá.”

Sex has become one of the most controversial topics in the history of the Church. But the historian Diarmaid MacCulloch shows in his book, Lower Than the Angels, that in the last 2,500 years Christianity has encompassed a much greater diversity of beliefs, including on homosexuality and the role of women. He argues that far from there being a single Christian theology of sex, there have always been a wide range of readings and attitudes.In one of the foundational stories of the Bible, in Genesis, Eve is created as an afterthought, from one of Adam's ribs, to be his companion. The classicist Helen King puts the female body at the centre of her book, Immaculate Forms, and examines the ways in which religion, and medicine, have played a gatekeeping role over women's bodies.The prize-winning poet, Ruth Padel, re-imagines the Christian story of the Virgin Mary – a girl in a Primark t-shirt facing a life shaped by divine will. Her new collection, Girl, unravels the myths and icons surrounding girlhood, and also paints a portrait of the Cretan ‘snake goddess' as she's unearthed and reshaped at the hands of a male archaeologist.Presenter: Amanda Vickery is Professor in Early Modern History at Queen Mary, University of LondonProducer: Katy Hickman
