Jodi Katz sat down with two powerhouse women making waves in personal health: Taryn Shockley, USA Sales & Education Manager at AlumierMD, and Kelly Murphy, General Manager at Lola. What followed was a deep, human, and often hilarious look at ambition, imposter syndrome, reinvention—and the workouts that keep them grounded.Taryn's story starts on the balance beam. A gymnast from age two, she was competing at elite levels by ten and earned a full ride to ASU. But when an injury ended her collegiate career, she made her first major pivot—into skincare. What began as a passion for facials turned into a sales role that demanded she master the art of influence in highly clinical, physician-led spaces. Today, she's navigating a category that's equal parts science and sales—and getting real about how to stay resilient when your numbers (or your self-worth) are on the line.Meanwhile, Kelly dreamt of being editor-in-chief of Seventeen Magazine—a goal she nearly touched when working at Penguin Books. But the realities of New York rent pushed her into digital marketing, where she built a versatile toolkit across SEO, UX, and data strategy at top agencies like Publicis and Havas. Now, she's steering the ship at Lola, a pioneer in clean period care, and facing challenges every modern marketer knows too well: a saturated market, rising media costs, and a pressing need to evolve the brand story. Her secret weapon? Relationship-building. Whether managing a 20-person team or advocating for upper-funnel investment, Kelly leads with connection—and a healthy dose of what she calls “female rage.”While their paths are wildly different, Taryn and Kelly share a trait we see often in the Where Brains Meet Beauty community: the willingness to leap. Whether it's changing industries, stepping into roles they weren't quite ready for, or pushing back on outdated business norms, both women prove that reinvention isn't just possible—it's powerful. Yes, we had fun. From underwater spin classes to soundscape-enhanced yoga, Taryn and Kelly gave us their go-to workouts and how they use fitness as both therapy and mental reset. (Spoiler: one peed on a trampoline, one has a Fuze House membership in every city.)Their stories are packed with honesty, hustle, and the kind of lessons you only learn by leaping before you're ready.

On s'est souvent croisé avec Philippe, on a certainement travaillé sur des projets communs sans jamais vraiment le savoir, il travaillait alors en maison de disque (Virgin pour Alain Souchon, Françoise Hardy, Étienne Daho, David Guetta, Manu Chao ou Benjamin Biolay / Columbia pour Julien Doré, Raphaël, Patrick Bruel, Brigitte ou Ben Mazué) Alors que moi, je faisais, à cette époque, principalement du live, deux mondes qui se connaissent mais se côtoient moyennement, les concerts commençant quand les albums sont terminés. Puis Philippe a arrêté de travailler pour les majors et est devenu indépendant, dans le domaine de la musique à l'image, autant pour France 2 que pour LVMH ou Publicis, et il est heureux comme ca. Il a beaucoup de chose à dire a propos de ces deux mondes, je lui ai donc soutiré toutes les informations importantes pour vous les proposer sur un plateau podcastien de qualité suprême. Bonne écoute

Vous ne savez pas dans quoi investir en Bourse ? Des gérants vous donnent des idées de valeurs, secteurs, matières premières... Aujourd'hui, ce sont Matthieu Ceronne, trader et fondateur de Galileo Trading, et Raphaël Génin, analyste financier pour Euroland.
C'est une voix bien connue du conseil, mais c'est aujourd'hui une entrepreneuse au ton libre qui prend le micro : Sylvie Ouziel, cofondatrice de Blue Bridge, n'est pas une novice de la tech ni des grands groupes. Passée par Accenture, Munich Re, Allianz, le groupe chinois Envision et enfin Publicis, cette ingénieure formée chez Andersen Consulting revendique un parcours « d'extraterrestre » – expression utilisée à ses débuts en Allemagne, sans parler un mot de la langue, pour transformer une industrie qu'elle ne connaissait pas. Son obsession ? La technologie comme levier de transformation opérationnelle. Et désormais, place à l'IA générative.Son credo : l'IA ne se limite pas à ChatGPT, c'est un changement de paradigme pour les entreprises.D'où la création de Blue Bridge, un intégrateur d'un genre nouveau, qui veut faire le lien entre les promesses de l'IA et leur concrétisation dans les « tuyaux » des entreprises. « Ce qu'on voit en tant que consommateur – ChatGPT, Midjourney, etc. – donne une vision réductrice, dit-elle. Dans l'entreprise, il faut interfacer l'IA avec les ERP, les systèmes de logistique, les bases de données, les flux contractuels. » Blue Bridge se positionne comme un chaînon manquant, avec une promesse : un retour sur investissement rapide, grâce à une approche modulaire et des outils internes automatisés qui réduisent les coûts de mise en œuvre.La startup s'appuie sur les LLM existants, qu'elle intègre dans les systèmes de ses clients. « Nous ne facturons pas à l'usage, mais à la mise en place. Un agent IA qui impacte 1 000 collaborateurs, vous le payez une fois. » Une petite révolution dans le monde du conseil.Les cas d'usage ? Traitement automatisé de contrats d'assurance, extraction de règles, calcul d'indemnisations ou de rentabilité, génération de documents juridiques... Mais au-delà de la technologie, c'est tout un modèle économique que questionne Sylvie Ouziel : Le métier du conseil traditionnel – lent, coûteux, peu agile – vacille. Hébergé par Acast.

My guest this week is someone whose career path may not be linear, but it's been anything but boring. Jason Chebib started out in some of London's top ad agencies, including Ogilvy, Publicis, J. Walter Thompson, and BBDO, where he worked alongside CMOs and future CMOs at brands like Shell, Unilever, Dyson, Mars, and Ford. Then came a pivot—from creating campaigns to teaching the science behind them. Jason traveled the world, training the next generation of marketers in what actually works when it comes to growing brands. Eventually, he jumped back into the deep end—this time client-side at Diageo. First in Amsterdam, working on global strategy for Johnnie Walker, and then in New York as Head of Planning for Diageo North America, where he shaped the future of brands like Smirnoff, Baileys, Guinness, and Captain Morgan. Now fully rooted in the U.S., Jason has worn many hats—from advising agencies to serving as Committee Chair of Agency Relations at the ANA and Co-Chair of the Marketing Society in New York. He brings the kind of perspective that only comes from being deep in the trenches: agency, client, strategy, research, and education. And while he's not one to chase titles, let's just say his next chapter is wide open—and any brand would be lucky to have him. I am proud to call him my friend, my confidant, my mentor: Jason Chebib.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1030: Today we're talking about the real hurdles to moving auto production stateside, catching up with Carlos Ghosn's new life as a leadership coach (and fugitive), and Amazon's surprising new experiment that lets shoppers stray beyond its walls.Show Notes with links:A quarter of U.S. automotive assembly capacity sat unused at the end of 2024, suggesting opportunity amid the backdrop of President Trump's tariffs. However, shifting production to underutilized plants is far more complicated than it sounds.Toyota, BMW, and Honda used over 80% of their U.S. production capacity, leaving little room for more output.Automakers like Stellantis, GM, Ford, and Nissan have more idle capacity but face logistical and investment hurdles.Stellantis' Warren Truck Plant has just 17% utilization but can't quickly absorb new models without major investment, despite being able to build related pickups and SUVs.Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant could theoretically take on new models like the Mustang Mach-E, but even the fastest transition would still take six months to a year to execute.Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions said: "The rhetoric that moving assembly of vehicles into open spaces is easy and quick is not accurate."Five years after his dramatic escape from Japan, former Nissan and Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn is living a quieter life in Lebanon — but remains an international fugitive still shadowed by legal battles.Ghosn lives in a disputed $20M mansion, running executive bootcamps for midlevel managers at a Lebanese university.Despite legal threats from France and Japan, Lebanon's refusal to extradite its citizens keeps him out of reach.He still denies all accusations, blaming Nissan insiders for orchestrating his downfall to block a deeper Renault-Nissan alliance.Ghosn remains bullish on globalization, calling recent tariff tensions “a joke” against broader interconnected trends.He criticized the post-split struggles of Nissan and Renault: “Nissan is begging for some financial help, and Renault is back to what it was before 1999 — a small European company.”In a surprising pivot from its traditional walled-garden strategy, Amazon is testing a program that lets customers shop directly from third-party brand websites — without leaving its app.Shoppers can either be redirected to brand sites or complete purchases through Amazon's “Buy for Me” checkout feature.Amazon handles payment transfer securely, while shipping, returns, and customer service stay with the brand.The move allows Amazon to collect deeper shopper data, enhancing ad targeting and product recommendations.Industry experts suggest Amazon is trading short-term sales for long-term insights and stronger ad business.Jason Goldberg of Publicis said: “The bigger share of a custoJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In the latest episode of Remarkable Retail, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis kick off with a roundup of the week's most impactful retail news. They dive into the potential liquidation of Hudson's Bay Company, examining the challenges the iconic retailer faces amid financial turbulence. With speculation swirling around the sale of HBC's heritage Stripes brand and the struggle to find buyers for prime real estate, the hosts analyze the ripple effects on Canadian retail.They also discuss Forever 21's second bankruptcy filing and probable liquidation, attributing the fast-fashion giant's downfall to a combination of fierce competition from digital disruptors like Shein and Temu, as well as a reliance on traditional mall-based retailing. Another key story involves Wayfair's decision to expand its physical retail presence despite years of online focus. Opening its second large-format store in Atlanta, Wayfair seems to be testing the waters of omnichannel retail, blending digital convenience with tangible customer experiences. The episode also touches on earnings updates from Nike, Williams-Sonoma, and Five Below.After covering the latest retail news, the hosts continue their engaging conversation with Jason “Retail Geek” Goldberg, Chief Commerce Strategy Officer at Publicis. Goldberg dives into Amazon's ongoing challenges in breaking into the grocery market despite the tech giant's e-commerce dominance. Amazon Fresh stores, while improved, still lack a clear competitive differentiator against industry leaders like Walmart. Goldberg notes that despite Amazon's long-term strategy and willingness to experiment, their grocery ventures remain more experimental than groundbreaking.Goldberg also explores the evolution of social commerce, with a particular focus on TikTok Shops. Unlike past social selling failures on platforms like Facebook, TikTok Shops have managed to build momentum, but only for specific product categories. Goldberg argues that social commerce's real value lies not in direct sales but in product discovery. Brands need to adapt by creating content that fosters discovery rather than pushing for immediate transactions.The conversation also covers the rise of retail media networks, with Goldberg emphasizing Amazon's transformation into a high-margin ad powerhouse. By monetizing third-party seller ads, Amazon has outpaced traditional retail models in profitability. While Walmart and others are catching up, Amazon's ability to leverage its marketplace for advertising revenue puts it in a unique position.

The latest Remarkable Retail podcast delivers a compelling mix of current market news and expert analysis from returning guest Jason "Retail Geek" Goldberg, Chief Commerce Strategy Officer at Publicis.Hosts Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis kick off with the week's headlines, spotlighting the chaos caused by shifting tariff policies. They note that consumer confidence has plummeted amid economic uncertainty, creating leadership challenges across the retail landscape. Steve reflects that while the COVID crisis taught resilience, today's volatility requires leaders to embrace agility as "the New Black" while avoiding recklessness.The retail news segment highlights several struggling players, most notably Kohl's with its disastrous twelfth consecutive quarter of sales decline. The hosts detail how new CEO Ashley Buchanan is pivoting back to private labels after previous leadership had emphasized national brands, while also apparently abandoning the once-touted Amazon returns program. Steve recounts visiting Kohl's stores filled with heavily discounted merchandise, describing them as "a train wreck" requiring both strategic and executional overhauls.The hosts continue with Ulta Beauty posting modest growth, signaling a slowdown in a category that had performed exceptionally well post-pandemic. Dick's Sporting Goods delivered strong quarterly results but projected significantly slower future growth, reflecting a broader trend of caution across retail.In what the hosts call the "wobbly unicorn corner," they examine former high-flyers facing existential challenges. Allbirds has lost nearly all its market value since IPO, with declining revenue despite shifting from direct-to-consumer to wholesale. Meanwhile, Stitch Fix shows modest signs of recovery under CEO Matt Baer's strategy of focusing on core customers rather than casting too wide a net.When Jason Goldberg joins the conversation, he identifies three dominant client concerns: retail media networks (which he views skeptically), artificial intelligence (both transformative and overhyped), and economic uncertainty creating both challenges and opportunities.Goldberg then provides illuminating analysis of retail market data, revealing that a small handful of giants—primarily Walmart, Amazon, Costco, and Chinese newcomers like Temu and Shein—capture the vast majority of all growth. While e-commerce growth has slowed from pandemic highs, it still significantly outpaces brick-and-mortar retail.Most significantly, Goldberg explains retail's "bifurcation" between digital winners and losers, and between two successful business models: massive "everything stores" and highly curated specialty retailers. The traditional wholesale model caught in between—particularly department stores—is struggling regardless of execution quality or market position.The episode ends with a teaser for part two, promising Goldberg's insights on the future of wholesale, Amazon's grocery ambitions, social commerce, and TikTok Shops—compelling reasons for listeners to return for the continuation of this insightful conversation.Links:https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevendennis/2017/12/04/retail-reality-its-death-in-the-middle/ 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.

Earned: Strategies and Success Stories From the Best in Beauty + Fashion
In Ep. 162 of Earned, CreatorIQ CMO Brit Starr sits down with Emily Hare, Global Influencer Lead and Anna O'Mahony, Global Lead, Content and Innovation at Publicis. To start, we dive into the transformative landscape of creator marketing and influencer strategies. As we chart the course for 2025, marked by significant agency consolidations and acquisitions, Anna and Emily reveal the pivotal role of creators in redefining brand strategies. The duo highlights the necessity of establishing a "center of excellence" in content creation, merging storytelling with journalism to craft narratives that resonate on both global and local scales. We explore the fusion of technology and creativity and examine how agencies are transitioning into comprehensive technology partners, emphasizing a content-focused approach in influencer marketing. Switching gears, Emily and Anna underscore the importance of understanding audience dynamics and maintaining brand consistency while engaging localized influencers. To close the show, the duo also offers insights into the evolving nature of creator partnerships, stressing fair pricing, long-term relationships, and the significance of dynamic playbooks that adapt to market shifts. In this episode, you'll learn: The role of creator marketing is shifting, and brands are rethinking how they collaborate. While influencers can do it all, the real question is where they create the most impact. Agencies are evolving alongside brands, integrating influencer marketing more deeply into media strategies. The industry is seeing more consolidation, technology adoption, and a shift toward content-first approaches—where the value lies in the work itself, not just the creator's following. Standardizing creator compensation remains a challenge, but brands are getting smarter. With better benchmarks and long-term partnerships, companies are moving toward sustainable, mutually beneficial collaborations.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Anthony Thomson, who also goes by his initials “AT”. Anthony is a marketing professional who transitioned into entrepreneurial banking with one key belief: the power of data to create opportunity. Athony tells us a heartwarming story about a Metro Bank initiative that made banking exciting for kids: coin-counting machines that turned their loose change into a guessing game with prizes. This is a conversation about how small innovations can make a big difference and how Anthony has brought that mindset into his incredible career evolution.

He has built, scaled and exited multi-million-dollar fintech businesses in the UK and Australia. He is currently co-founder and chair of archie, a global growth accelerator for fintechs, a non-executive director of Wio Bank in the UAE and ekko A UK based international business that empowers financial services companies to integrate sustainability. Previously, Anthony was Founder and CEO of Europe's largest financial services specialist agency, which sold to Publicis. He was also the Founder and former chairman of two of the UK's leading challenger banks, Metro Bank (with a market cap of over $5 billion) and atom bank (with a market cap of over $1 billion), and the co-Founder and chair of 86 400, Australia's first smart bank (acquired by National Australia Bank for over $440m). He is co-author (with Lucian Camp) of No small change, why financial services needs better marketing, published by Wiley. From 2011 to 2014 he served as visiting professor to London Metropolitan University Business School. He also served as the David Goldman Visiting Professor of business innovation and enterprise at Newcastle University Business School from 2017 to 2018. When he's not working, Anthony collects wine and guitars and races cars. Not all at the same time.
Next in Creator Media spoke with Cristina Lawrence, EVP of Consumer & Content Experience at Razorfish about the march toward more TV-like seasons for many top creators, and whether this is making it easier to move ad dollars over from TV. Lawrence also talked about TikTok's future, who might grab the social commerce mantle, and whether Joe Rogan is a podcaster or a YouTuber.Takeaways:Long-Form Content is Winning the Creator EconomyPlatforms like YouTube are shifting towards structured, episodic content (e.g., video podcasts, multi-part series).Creators are becoming media networks, with brands integrating organically into their content strategies.Creators Are the New Media NetworksInfluencers now function as full-scale media companies, reaching highly engaged audiences.Brands must approach them as partners, not just ad placements.The Rise of Creator-Led Brand PartnershipsMega-creators like MrBeast, Hailey Bieber, and Charli D'Amelio are launching their own DTC (direct-to-consumer) brands.These businesses succeed when they align authentically with the creator's identity.Social Commerce is Gaining Traction, but Still EvolvingPlatforms like TikTok Shops and Amazon Live are making inroads in live shopping.However, U.S. adoption lags behind Asia, where live shopping is deeply integrated into culture.Micro-Influencers & Niche Creators Are EssentialBrands are shifting to micro-influencers for more targeted, authentic engagement.Agencies use AI-powered discovery tools (e.g., Publicis' Influential) to identify high-performing niche creators.The TikTok Uncertainty & the Future of Short-Form VideoIf TikTok were to disappear, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels could fill the gap.However, each platform serves distinct user behaviors, with YouTube favored for long-form content.

Partha Sinha is the President of the Times of India Group, one of the most influential media groups of India. He's a seasoned leader with proven track record in the brand, media, digital and communication space. Ex Citibanker, ex VP Strategy Ogilvy, ex marketing chief Zee Telefilms, ex head of strategy SE Asia for Publicis, ex Managing Partner BBH, ex MD and Vice Chairman, McCann WordGroup. In 2020, I asked Partha to connect me to a few people for my podcast. He connected me to one of India's top directors, Shoojit Sircar. The podcast with Shoojit turned into ongoing chat over the next two years. When Shoojit first talked about making a movie on me, I thought this was the biggest prank Partha had played on me. It was the connection from him that set the ball rolling for the movie, I Want To Talk. I was very excited that Partha and his wife Chaitali were the first to see the movie outside of the core group. In this podcast, Partha, a brilliant mind who guided the conversation so effortlessly into the depth of the heart, but never making it too serious. Thank you Partha for being you, always. Here are some key insights from this week's show: Life is never over till it is over. “I Want to Talk” is a story of crossing one hurdle at a time. You play differently when you know you are going to win the game. The screen Arjun had the advantage of knowing that he will make it in the end. Sometimes bad ideas can trigger amazing ideas. Talking comes with responsibility. Words once spoken, are out there forever. If we give up, we will never know what life can bring for us.
