In this episode of Lead Gen HQ, we discuss why household names like Forever 21, JCPenney, Michaels, Billabong, and Quiksilver are closing stores, declaring bankruptcy, or losing relevance. From failing to adapt to fast-changing customer behaviors to poor e-commerce execution and brand dilution, these retail giants offer critical lessons for small and midsize businesses. Tune in to discover how SMBs can avoid the same pitfalls by staying agile, putting customers first, and embracing digital transformation to build resilient, future-proof brands.

The long awaited, much anticipated, 2nd chapter to our conversations with "THE GOAT", is here! In the last sit down, we started with Florida Grommet Hood and ended it with him turning pro with his first monumental win at the Body Glove Surf Bout at Lowers. This time we begin the journey with Kelly Slater in Black and White to the Andy Irons Rivalry.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our guest this week was in the epicenter and a standout surfer during the years of Studio 54 AKA “ECHO BEACH”. Hanging with the right crew at the right time, alongside Danny "DK" Kwock, John "FIRM" Gothard, and Jeff Parker! These photogenic Surfers had a new approach wearing bright colors and custom wild prints, with matching air sprays on their boards! The sponsors loved it, the Photographers love it, and the Magazines loved it. This crew not only put Newport Beach on the Map, but also put Quiksilver at the forefront of the industry. Maybe it was all the magazine photos and covers shots our guest got as a Professional Surfer, or maybe it was another reason that he ended up working for Quiksilver! He also had a plethora of other industry jobs including Mossimo, Gotcha, and ASR, but eventually ended up in Media in both print and digital magazines for over 25 years.

Anne-Claire Beaumanoir est responsable recrutement et image employeur chez Beaumanoir. En Bretagne, où est enregistré cet épisode, tout le monde connait Beaumanoir et en particulier à Rennes. Mais Beaumanoir est pourtant beaucoup moins connue que ses marques. Si je vous dis Cache-Cache , Bonobo, Bréal, Vib's, La Halle, Caroll et Morgan ; mais aussi des marques Lifestyle comme Sarenza ou Quiksilver. Forcément que cela vous parle. Beaumanoir, c'est 15 000 collaborateurs et 210 franchisés et plus de 2700 points de vente dans le monde. Anne-Claire, quant à elle, a démarré chez Beaumanoir en 2011 soit presque 14 ans.   Julie m'a tout raconté :  - Le Groupe Beaumanoir, entreprise familiale de 40 ans avec 15 000 collaborateurs et 2 700 points de vente dans le monde - La stratégie d'attraction des candidats via les marques du groupe et de fidélisation via la culture d'entreprise - Le travail de storytelling et de valorisation de la marque employeur du groupe - La diversité des métiers au sein du groupe, de la logistique au studio photo en passant par la R&D - La mobilité interne facilitée et les programmes d'ambassadeurs internes - Les défis liés à la transparence des salaires (ils en sont encore loin) - Leur test sur la semaine de 4 jours et le résultat pas à la hauteur   Bref, un épisode à vite écouter !

Episode #21. Enregistré le 4 septembre 2024. (English version below) Invitée : Emilie Souvras (ex-Global Brand General Manager de Roxy - Product Hub Director Boardriders) Impossible d'évoquer les récentes années Boardriders sans mentionner Emilie Souvras. La Française, rentrée dans le groupe en 2014 par le département produits, a gravi les échelons un à un jusqu'à occuper la fonction de Global Brand General Manager de Roxy. Soit le poste le plus important de la marque. Alors que vient de s'ouvrir une nouvelle page de son parcours au sein de Boardriders, le moment semblait idéal pour recevoir Emilie. Au micro d'Inside Eurosima, elle rappelle son premier job chez Kiabi, dans le Nord et sa découverte de l'univers textile et de la mode. Descendue ensuite dans le Pays Basque pour raisons familiales (= le surf), elle entre chez Boardriders comme chef de produit pour Roxy. Rapidement, elle devient Global Head of Product de la marque. Devenu en 2014 PDG monde du groupe Quiksilver (qui deviendra Boardriders en 2017), Pierre Agnès nomme Emilie à la tête de la marque féminine du groupe. Une promotion vertigineuse, et une opportunité qui ne se refuse pas. Emilie raconte sa prise de fonction, la manière dont elle a pris les rênes de son poste et comment - au passage - elle a vécu de l'intérieur le Chapter 11 (procédure de sauvegarde) du groupe en 2015. En 2020, elle prend également la tête du département Retail Europe de Boardriders. Autrement dit : la gestion des magasins “en propre" du groupe. Quelques semaines plus tard, la crise Covid frappe de plein fouet la planète et, indirectement, le commerce mondial en forçant tous les magasins à fermer pendant de longues semaines. Une prise de fonction sur les chapeaux de roues. Dans cet épisode, Emilie aborde de nombreux sujets, de la vision unique de Roxy à son ouverture à de nouveaux marchés comme l'outdoor. Elle aborde l'évolution du marketing, la gestion du team ou encore la mise en place des collaborations. Elle évoque le rôle de Pierre Agnès au sein du groupe et la relation qu'ils avaient développée, mais aussi l'importance des femmes dans l'industrie ou encore la manière dont elle équilibre vie professionnelle et personnelle. Elle détaille enfin son rôle au sein d'EuroSIMA - elle qui est membre du board depuis 2016 - ou encore l'intégration de Boardriders Europe par BeauManoir et ses nouvelles fonctions au sein de la structure. Car depuis l'été dernier, Emilie a tourné la page de l'aventure Roxy pour démarrer une nouvelle aventure professionnelle au sein du groupe : Product Hub Director. Autrement dit, responsable de toutes les activités liées au développement produit de ses marques. Un épisode passionnant, riche en anecdotes, sur le parcours exemplaire d'une des femmes incontournables de l'industrie européenne de la glisse. Bonne écoute. Production éditoriale : EUROSIMA

After joining the group in 2014 in products, Emily rose the corporate ladder step by step to eventually reach the position of Global Brand General Manager for Roxy - in short, the biggest key position for the brand. As she is now starting to write a new page in her career at Boardriders, we thought the timing was perfect to sit down and have a chat. Enjoy the ride.

Strider sits down with Conner Coffin at WSL HQ and kicks off the conversation with a jaw-dropping story about an old photo of a shark they encountered during a Bali trip, courtesy of Marty Hoffman.

Our guest this week is a former Pro Surfer and industry executive with over 25 years of experience. His first industry gig was working at Inflight Surf Shop, while he was honing in his surf skills to go pro! This 3x national champ committed a few years traveling the world to qualify for the tour, but made the smart choice to go to college and get an MBA in Business, Communications, and Global Logistics. His resume is lengthy and impressive working over the years as a Marketing Manager, Consultant, Corporate Account Manager and knows the ins and outs of Logistics, Trade Compliance, Production, Licensing, Operations, and Sales. This guy is so well rounded, intelligent, and it is to no surprise he has held many VP positions with companies including Ports America, Fedex, Quiksilver, and most recently Free Fly.

Our guest this week is a surfer, snowboarder, and outdoor enthusiast. After graduating from Chapman University with a Business, Marketing, and Entrepreneurship degree, he has worked at Oakley, DC Shoes, and then Quiksilver in their Marketing Depts. At some point, he realized that there was a need to re-event the beach/camp chair, and Parkit Movement was born in 2018. Since then, he has been revising and updating what looks like a Classic Retro Outdoor Chair, but with modern components, accessories, and functionality. We are super pumped to hear all about his journey and how he created “Parkit”. We welcome to the show Steve Wilcox.

Our guest this week is a Surfer, Shaper, Golfer, and all-around epic Human! He was the Newport Beach poster child for Quiksliver who was getting tons of coverage in the magazines and traveling the world at an early age. He started shaping in 1990 and quickly rose to success. Most likely, because he rips so hard and people noticed the board under his feet had his own name, or maybe because Japan's Surf Economy was going bananas, or maybe because he had some of the world's best surfers getting boards from him? I am guessing all three. But, either way, he is a gifted Surfer and Shaper and we congratulate him on almost 35yrs of board-building success. We welcome the one and only, only go left, Mr. Cordell “CORDY” MillerSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode #19 (English). Guest: MC Dave Mailman : Master of the - Boardsports - Community Ex-Marketing Director Quiksilver Europe, ex-President Association of Surfing Professionals Europe, Journalist, Speaker, Voice Over Artist, Consultant Basically everyone in the Action Sports industry knows Dave Mailman. And that's no surprise: for over 20 years, he was the voice behind the biggest surfing and snowboarding events across the Old Continent and has commented hundreds of heats on the beach or on webcasts. Be that as it may, few actually know Dave's story in detail. It's the story of a young Californian with a passion for skateboarding and surfing, who took French lesson in high school. He then came to spend a summer on the Basque coast…but basically never left. It was the heyday of surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding and Dave was lucky enough to witness the founding moments of this movement. Having mastered the languages of both Tom Curren and Serge Vitelli, he penned articles in the snowboard magazine OnBoard. After a quick passage with Arnette, Dave arrived at Quiksilver to take over as Head of marketing for Europe. Dave tells us about this blossoming time when ideas (shootings, trips, events) overruled budgets. He is namely to thank for the now iconic Bowlriders contest in Marseille. He'll tell us all about how came about and his memories of that project. It will also give us a chance to hear how « The Mountain and the Wave » was able to infiltrate the core skate market, the missing puzzle piece in their catalog. For this 19th episode, Dave will also discuss the various subsequent steps of his career: 4 years as President of the ASP Europe, his work on the Freeride World Tour, the Verbier Extreme and even various editorial projects he's worked on since then (including podcasts!). Among many other subjects. A fascinating new episode on the history of our Action Sports industry, seen through the lens the most American of our European key players.

En revanche, peu de monde connaît sans doute en détail l'histoire de Dave. Celle d'un jeune californien venu passer un été sur la Côte Basque dans les années 90 et n'en est pour ainsi dire jamais reparti. L'époque coïncidait avec le boom du surf, du skate et du snowboard, et Dave se fera le témoin privilégié de moments fondateurs de ce mouvement. Maîtrisant la langue de Tom Curren comme celle de Serge Vitelli, il nourrit d'abord les pages du mag européen de snow OnBoard, puis - après un bref passage chez Arnette - débarque chez Quiksilver dont il prendra la direction marketing Europe. Dave raconte cette époque où les idées (shootings, trips, événements) primaient sur les budgets. C'est notamment à lui que l'on doit le mythique contest Bowlriders de Marseille dont il nous raconte les origines et partage ses souvenirs. Dave raconte également la suite : la présidence de l'ASP Europe pendant 4 ans, le Freeride World Tour, le Verbier Extreme et les divers projets éditoriaux menés depuis. Parmi plein d'autres choses. Un épisode passionnant sur l'histoire de notre industrie des sports de glisse, vue par le prisme du plus Américain de ses acteurs européens.

Raili CA Design is a testament to the passion and love for eclectic California interior design that former fashion executive Raili Clasen is known for. After a successful career with Quiksilver and Paul Frank, Clasen co-founded the trendy housewares brand Alice Supply Co. Her transition into the interior design business was seamless and catapulted by the press around her first home project. Raili CA Design is a full-service interior design firm specializing in new construction, complete remodels, and the occasional cool vintage cottage renovation. In this episode, Nada sits down with Raili to talk about becoming an interior designer in her late 40s and authorship at 60. Raili shares her sales background in the surf world and recalls being constantly drawn to the creatives in that field, sparking an inner desire for design. Later, she and her best friend launched a wildly popular home and tools product line. The PR success of that business opened the door to her first interior design project. Now, at age 60, she leads a business with a boldness and confidence she never had in her earlier years. Raili also shares her top design tips and encourages us to pursue our dreams, no matter our age.Check out Raili's website and book Surf Style at Home.

Episode #18. Enregistré le 28 mars 2024 à St Vincent de Tyrosse (Landes)   Invité : Jean Kress, Boardriders Sustainability director EMEA   (English version below) Jean Kress est un créatif, un vrai, qui distille ses inspirations et ses talents de designer au sein de la surf-industry européenne depuis 30 ans. Avant d'atterrir dans les Landes en 1994, Jean est passé par les plus prestigieuses maisons de haute-couture de Paris : Chanel, Lanvin, Guy Laroche ou encore Dior. Une immersion dans le Paris - Capitale mondiale de la Mode - des années 80 et 90, son faste et sa créativité sans limites.   C'est ce profil atypique et sa personnalité qui ont séduit Fred Basse au milieu des années 90 et l'ont poussé à l'embaucher chez Rip Curl Europe. Après avoir développé les collections et les gammes pendant plusieurs années, Jean a poursuivi sa carrière chez Quiksilver, alors considéré par l'intéressé comme « le PSG, l'équipe n°1 ».

Une autre dimension, un autre style et de nouveaux challenges vécus sous l'ère d'Harry Hodge puis celle de Bernard Mariette, que Jean décrit comme « les années Bernard Tapie ». La suite ? Billabong, qu'il intégrera en tant que Merchandising & Design Director, puis Brand Leader.   Le rachat de BBG par Boardriders ramènera Jean au siège de St Jean de Luz où, rapidement, il prend la tête du département Sustainaibility du groupe. Un poste au cœur des préoccupations actuelles de notre industrie dont il dresse les missions, les objectifs, les moyens mis en œuvre et les contraintes. Un rôle-clé, plus que jamais tourné vers l'avenir, que Jean incarne avec la même passion qu'à ses débuts. 
Un nouvel épisode intéressant et instructif.

After developing the collections and ranges for several years, Jean pursued his career at Quiksilver, which he himself considered at the time to be the «  N° 1, the PSG ».   Another dimension, another style and new challenges would await him in the Harry Hodge and later the Bernard Marriette eras. It was a time that Jean describes as the « Bernard Tapie years ». After that? Billabong, where he joined the company as Merchandising & Design Director, and later Brand Leader.   When Boardriders took over BBG, he moved to the head offices in St Jean de Luz where he very quickly took over as head of Sustainability for the group. It is a position at the center of current challenges and issues in our industry, where he sets the objectives, missions, means and deals with its challenges. It is a key position, that is more than ever oriented towards the future, where Jean continues to move forward with the same passion he's had since day one.   A new episode, both interesting and instructive.
