Their creations have been featured by fashion icons such as Oscar de la Renta, Ralph Lauren, and Calvin Klein, and have been worn by stars including Beyoncé, Scarlett Johansson, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.Adam shares the rich history of his family's business, from its early days to the challenges of keeping the craft alive in an ever-changing industry. He also tells the incredible story of his grandfather, Holocaust survivor Harold Brand, whose resilience, perseverance, and sheer determination shaped the company's legacy.

To her 769,000 Instagram followers, fitness entrepreneur-turned-brand founder Amanda Kloots feels like a friend who just happens to sometimes star in movies or host TV shows — she wrapped her gig on CBS's "The Talk" when the show ended last year and hosts "Live From The Other Side" on Netflix. Some of her fans have been following her journey since she started teaching fitness classes nearly a decade ago, in 2016. That was when she first transitioned out of her previous career as a Radio City Rockette and Broadway dancer and started building her fitness business, Amanda Kloots Fitness. Earlier this month, Kloots launched Proper, a wellness brand that debuted with five powder supplements. It is the seventh brand to launch in partnership with Ben Bennett's incubator, The Center — its other brands include Naturium, which exited to E.l.f. Beauty at the end of 2023. Bennett and Kloots are striving to create products that appeal to the "everyday woman who comes to my classes, who is really just looking for something to keep her happy and to make her feel her best," Kloots said on this week's episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast. Proper's first five products include the greens powder Daily Boost, Metabolism + Energy Boost, Digestion + Bloat Relief, Immune Support, and Calming Aid. Each is $28 and, for now, exclusively available direct-to-consumer. And they're brightly colored to represent the idea of "drinking the rainbow," Kloots said. On this week's episode of The Glossy Beauty Podcast, Kloots discusses how the early days of the boutique fitness boom made her social media savvy, what business lessons she learned from past ventures and collaborations, and what's next for Proper.

The Rockettes are America's best known dance troupe — and a staple of the holiday season — but you may not know the origin of this iconic New York City symbol. For one, they're not even from the Big Apple!Formerly the Missouri Rockets, the dancers and their famed choreographer Russell Markert were noticed by theater impresario Samuel Rothafel, who installed them first as his theater The Roxy, then at one of the largest theaters in the world — Radio City Music Hall.The life of a Rockettes dancer was glamorous, but grueling; for many decades dancing not in isolated shows, but before the screenings of movies, several times a day, a different program each week. There was a very, very specific look to the Rockettes, a look that changed — and that was forced to change by cultural shifts — over the decades.This show is dedicated to the many thousands of women who have shuffled and kicked with the Rockettes over their many decades of entertainment, on the stage, the picket line or the Super Bowl halftime show.This show is a re-edited and remastered version of our 2014 show with a new introduction -- in honor of the upcoming 100th anniversary celebration of the dance troupe which would become the Rockettes.Join us on Patreon for extra podcasts and lots of other goodiesShare your love of the city's history with a Bowery Boys Walks gift certificate!

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech Daily, the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in the Pharma and Biotech world. Today's episode covers a range of news and developments in the industry. Let's get started.## Evelo Biosciences shuts down after clinical setbackFlagship-backed microbiome biotech company Evelo Biosciences is shutting down after facing a clinical setback and laying off staff. The company, which focused on developing microbiome-based therapies, was unable to find a viable alternative to its closure. This news comes as several biotech M&A deals are being announced, although fewer oncology deals have been made this year compared to previous years.## Freeline agrees to take-private deal with SynconaGene therapy company Freeline has agreed to a take-private deal with Syncona after making cuts. This acquisition adds to the string of bargain buyouts and reverse mergers in the gene therapy sector. Meanwhile, fewer biotech companies are going public this year, with only three IPOs taking place in the third quarter. However, there are still many startups waiting in the queue.## Medtronic CEO downplays impact of obesity drugs The CEO of Medtronic, Geoff Martha, downplays the impact of obesity drugs on procedures and devices. Despite the surging demand for GLP-1 agonists, Martha argues that the hit to medtech firms like Medtronic will be minimal.## Index Pharmaceuticals discontinues trial for cobitolimodIndex Pharmaceuticals has decided to discontinue a Phase 3 trial for cobitolimod in ulcerative colitis following a negative review by an independent data monitoring committee. The drug did not meet the primary endpoint of clinical remission compared to placebo.## Moderna's mRNA patent declared invalidThe European Patent Office has declared one of Moderna's mRNA patents invalid, marking a win for Pfizer and BioNTech in ongoing patent disputes between COVID-19 vaccine developers.## CRISPR gene therapy receives approval in the UKCRISPR gene therapy has received its first-ever approval in the UK for the treatment of beta thalassemia. Developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics, this approval raises questions about whether the US FDA will follow suit in approving CRISPR gene therapies.## Digital tools support patients in search for specialistsOver 25% of rare disease patients have to visit multiple hospitals before receiving a diagnosis, and almost half of them wait a year for that diagnosis. Digital tools can play a crucial role in supporting patients in their search for specialists and care. These tools can narrow down the initial search, identify healthcare professionals with the required expertise, and empower patients through tailored resources.## Google and NBCU offer behind-the-scenes look at Macy's Thanksgiving Day ParadeGoogle and NBCU have partnered to offer a behind-the-scenes look at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade through custom ads. The ads feature the Radio City Rockettes and showcase the AI-powered features of Google's Pixel 8 smartphone. Disney and Verizon have also collaborated on an AR experience to support children through donations to Toys for Tots.## Advertising industry falls short of net-zero goalsA report finds that the advertising industry is "not even close" to realizing its net-zero goals in terms of reducing carbon emissions. The slow adoption of sustainability standards among agencies and production companies is having a negative impact on the entire marketing communications supply chain.## Gene editing, mRNA, and cell therapies promise new medicinesThe text discusses the progress in gene editing, mRNA, and cell therapies, highlighting their potential to revolutionize medicine. Funding challenges and an IPO dry spell are acknowledged, but recent investments indicate continued interest and support for biotech innovation.## Merck acquires Caraway TherapeuticsMerck plans to acquire Caraway Therapeutics in a deal worth up to

Happy Food Prep Day! David Waldman and Greg Dworkin lay down their spatulas to dish up some news. Everyone should be thankful that Fox News isn't in charge of their Thanksgiving budget.  Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade promises to be a Nonbinary and Transgender Extravaganza — plus featured guests Bell Biv DeVoe, Brandy, U.S. Olympic silver medalist Jordan Chiles and the legendary Radio City Rockettes! The giant Stephen Miller balloon has been cancelled, however. Steve KG Bannon says, No! You're the fascists! Donald Trump adds that to the list of vermin he will need to annihilate. The press wonder what that means for “Trump vs. Biden ‘24” ™ The Wisconsin supreme court may strike down legislative maps to end Republican dominance. Democrats have made gains in many elections this year. Republicans will need to move quickly to make none of that matter. President Joe Biden is thankful for the success of the US-lead deal to release 50 hostages from Hamas. No matter how many are backing the deal, it isn't over until those hostages are back home. Meanwhile, their families continue to wait. Of course, it is not as simple as that. The families of the hostages are spurring anger for caring about their families too much. Here and around the world the “kidnapped” poster feuds rage on. Iranians have become desensitized to the question of Palestine.

“Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey and  Gene Schiavone. In this episode of  “Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey,  join host Joanne Carey as she chats with Special Guest: Dance Photographer Gene Schiavone  about his  career which grew out of a hobby.

Gene shares how he savors the relationships he has made and the individuals he has met, summing up his career by his treasured box of thank you notes, saying in his own words, "You measure your life, in some way,  by how many thank you notes you got."   Gene Schiavone became interested in photography as a child.  With no formal training, he went on to become a sought after Dance Photographer. What began as a childhood curiosity became a budding career,  photographing some of the worlds best ballet dancers. Gene attributes his introduction to the world of ballet to his wife through her involvement with ABT (American Ballet Theater). His informal conversation with renowned ballerina, Julie Kent, piqued his interest in the art form and then began to attend more ballet performances. Around that same time, Gene was given permission to photograph performances of ABT's studio company and after two years was invited to photograph the main company, which led to other requests for similar work. Gene's work and images includes Boston Ballet, Mariinsky Theatre, Bolshoi Ballet, Washington Ballet, Miami City Ballet, Atlanta Ballet and The Radio City Rockettes among others. His images have appeared New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and all the major dance publications both here and abroad. In March 2020, Gene retired from studio photography and is currently working on his first book in collaboration with retired ballerina and dance writer, Gavin Larsen. Gene continues to acknowledge his gratitude for all the dancers he has worked with over the years and for the hundreds of pairs of signed shoes and photos he remembers them by.  Follow on Instagram @geneschiavoneofficial Find out more ⁠https://www.geneschiavone.com/ Follow Joanne Carey on Instagram @westfieldschoolofdance And follow  “Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Realtalk from Gill: I've been at a serious crossroads about which path to take next in my career. It can be easy to feel trapped in one lane, stuck where you are, or like you have to choose only one thing to focus on if you want to be successful. But choosing something now, doesn't mean you're resigned to that one thing forever. Everything you do is cumulative action towards where you want to end up. Life is a long zig-zagging road, and it's okay to pivot and try new routes along the way. And no one has exemplified how to reinvent yourself and pivot your career again and again more than today's guest, Keltie Knight. Keltie is a three-time Emmy Award winning television personality, podcaster, A New York Times bestselling author, and former professional dancer. She started her career as a dancer and danced in the Radio City Rockettes, in music videos for musicians like John Legend, and as a backup dancer for Beyonce and Taylor Swift, NBD. She pivoted into television as a host, working on Entertainment Tonight and E! News, and covering huge events like The Grammys Red Carpet. She's the co-host and creator of one of the top 100 podcasts in the world, The LADYGANG podcast, which she transformed into a TV show and a bestselling book, Act Like A Lady. And now, she has just launched her new CBS primetime show, Superfan, for which she's the creator, executive producer, and host. Join us as we chat about:The key to reinventing yourself and leaning into career pivotsReverse engineering your dreams and goals VS staying flexible and open to opportunitiesHow to know when it's time to move on to a new project or pivot into a new career eraHow to handle rejection and bounce back from negative feedbackWhat to do when you're categorized and expected to “stay in your lane” The benefit of having multiple jobs or projects on the goThe power of staying unattached to outcomes and just making shit happen How to stay focused with your pursuits when you're a multi-hyphenate person with lots of interests and passionsWe hope this episode inspires you to swing big and pursue all of your passions, because as per Ross Geller, you can always pivot along the way. PS: If you've been dreaming of pivoting into podcasting but aren't sure where to start or how to grow, check our consulting services at teachmehowtoadult.ca/howtopodcast.  For show notes and more adulting tips, visit: teachmehowtoadult.caSign up for our monthly adulting newsletter:teachmehowtoadult.ca/newsletter Follow us on the ‘gram:instagram.com/teachmehowtoadultmedia @yunggillianaire@cailynmichaanFollow Keltie:@keltieKeltieknight.comListen to The Ladygang

How well can you keep your spirits up in the face of hardship?   Today we talk with Amanda Kloots, a ray of sunshine, former Broadway Dancer and Radio City Rockette, fitness instructor, and author who encourages people to live their lives to the fullest.   Amanda's late husband, Nick, died in 2020 from Covid and co-infections. Listen in to hear all about his death and legacy, as well as how she stayed positive in the face of death, and parenting after loss. Topics We Discuss:   [2:30] Amanda's grief and loss experience losing her husband. He got sick during the pandemic and then caught hospital infections that ultimately took over him 95 days later.   [5:39] How Amanda's positivity kept her going even when doctors told her on multiple occasions that her husband was going to die in an hour.   [10:14] The power of love. Amanda would sing, dance, and encourage her husband whenever she was able to see him and she could tell it boosted his spirits.   [12:54] Nick's legacy. His story caught the world's attention because he fought for so long to make sure Amanda and their son Elvis would be okay. Amanda and Elvis were able to move into a new home. She and Nick's mom became very close, and Nick died a rock star like he always wanted to be.   [15:52] Amanda's family support. Her siblings, especially her brother, really stepped up to help her and take care of her and Elvis after Nick died. It impacted their familial relationships deeply.   [19:10] Signs, synchronicities, Biblical ties, and beliefs. Milestones of his illness coincided with Biblical days like Easter weekend. Nick's energy swept over Elvis on a few occasions. Amanda talks to him and dreams about him. Mediums have described Nick's energy field to Amanda and it's been the same as what she's seen.   [27:02] Parenting a toddler who lost a parent. Amanda tries to keep Nick present in their lives by talking about him with Elvis. Her new children's book is a great tool to talk to kids about death and loss. She is sure that Elvis dreams about Nick and encourages others to go to sleep intending to see their loved one.   [32:29] Amanda's grief journey. Losing a spouse is a lifelong journey, especially when you are left to parent a child you once shared. Her philosophy has become to just do and go for things because you never know what could happen.   [34:39] Nick's song “Live Your Life”. Amanda helped him write the lyrics because he couldn't figure it out on his own. It took on a whole new meaning after he died. ***********************************************   SUPPORT DR.

Laura CasselmanTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Laura Casselman. Laura had a dream at the age of 3 to become a Radio City Rockette. Fast forward 20 years, and a lot of hard work.... SHE DID IT! In this episode we chat about how this was even possible, and what she decided to do after her Rockette career ended. Laura is currently the CEO of JVZoo, co-founder of VidaStreet, and co-founder of Hestla Trades. She explains what all of these entities are, and what they do. Of course, we discuss Laura's new book Trust Your Increments: How Small, Consistent Steps Can Lead to Massive Success. Along the way, we discuss what it is like for women in the workforce, and what both men & women can do to help make things a little more equal in that area. Laura shares the absolute worst job-related story I have ever heard, and we talk about how to move on from something like that. She shares some tips on how to reframe some of life's jealous moments into some of life's inspirational ones. Plus, Laura explains the difference between 'Work / Life Balance" and "Work / Life Harmony".This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4068452/advertisement

In 2011 I started a business as a stylist. I'd moved to New York City for my career in theater after a Broadway tour, Radio City Rockettes, and all that jazz.   [The below timeline is not covered in the episode and included here for backstory.]   In 2014 a friend who worked at a top publisher told me that my style course, “had to be a book.” She'd told everyone in her office my principles and they were using them daily–women needed this. I told her that sounded like a lot of work for very little money. We were both right.   In 2016 I began writing the book in fits and starts, always “let's just get through one more launch, just a little more income so we aren't burned out and *then* I'll write the book.”   By 2020 I decided *then* was never going to come. I had to take the leap. I hired a book coach and in 2021 they introduced me to a top agent. My book went to auction and my dream was coming true.   For a year I absolutely adored the writing process (which most authors bemoan) yet was traumatized by the publishing process (which I had never heard anyone mention–as explained in the episode now I know why.) One year later, and it was all for nothing.   Worse, it almost cost me everything.   This is part 2 of 3 in sharing that story. Please begin with last week's Part 1: Silent vs Silenced.    This is a story of creative and financial heartbreak, shared to protect others from it.    It's the episodes I have wish I had heard from just one person, to have any idea what I was risking when I decided 7 years ago that maybe I would in fact like to write a book.   Links mentioned in this episode: March 2021 texts about securing literary agents April 2021 video explaining what that validation meant + the respect I instantly attached to them (Instagram is awkward for long videos so you can also listen on YouTube) June 2021 official author celebration The first time I “saw” my book in my local bookstore. (Wild this was so long ago I was still wearing a mask for everyday errands.) Want to learn how I survived this season without burning out? Join the wait list for new free resources coming this summer.   If you know any author, creative, or aspiring this could bless, please share it with them and if you do so on Instagram tag me @HilaryRushford so I can thank you for doing what I wish someone had done for me.   If you're an author and want to share your experience after listening to next week's final episode (I understand the desire to share with someone who can relate), DM above or write books@deanstreetsociety.com. All correspondence will of course remain anonymous..
