Story of the Week (DR):Meta settles social media addiction case with California, other states for $16.7 billion MM5 Reasons to Be HappyAn $18 billion payout sets a historic legal precedent against Big Tech, directing billions in state funding toward youth mental health, counseling, and digital literacy programs.Instagram and Facebook must enforce default two-hour daily usage limits and completely block account activity between midnight and 6 a.m. for users under 18. Teens and parents gain the explicit right to disable addictive engagement algorithms in favor of a non-personalized, chronological feed.The settlement prohibits harmful beauty filters (such as cosmetic surgery simulators), hides "like" counts by default, and silences app notifications during school hours.Meta tied $5.3 billion of the payout to whether TikTok and YouTube adopt similar safety rules, forcing an industry-wide overhaul rather than penalizing just one app.5 Reasons to Be AngryPaid out over 10 years, the settlement amounts to roughly 10 days of Meta's annual profit, meaning Mark Zuckerberg's financial empire remains virtually unscathed.Meta's $17 billion child-safety settlement is the biggest tech payout ever—or 3x what it paid to acquihire a 28-year-old AI superstarTo put it in perspective, the $17.1 billion number is a little more than three times the roughly $5 billion personal stake that Alexandr Wang held in Scale AI, a data-labeling company that supplies the human-annotated training data AI models are built on. Last year, Meta paid $14.3 billion for a 49% stake in the company and brought in Wang to lead its AI efforts of its new Superintelligence Labs, reporting directly to Mark Zuckerberg.Meta legally denies all wrongdoing, dodging true legal accountability for intentionally engineering addictive, mentally harmful features.The agreement alters user interface features and screen time, but leaves Meta's underlying data-harvesting business model completely untouched.Critical safeguards—like switching off algorithmic feeds—are opt-in settings rather than permanent defaults, shifting enforcement onto parents.Meta only pays 70% ($12.7 billion) upfront; the remaining $5.3 billion is contingent on competitors settling on identical terms, giving Meta a potential financial discount if rivals refuse. Worst headline of the week: Meta's $17.1 billion settlement will be over 12-times larger than the second largest big tech privacy settlement in the past four yearsMeta's $18 billion settlement leaves out the child protections New Mexico already won at trial, its Attorney General says: including a direct ban on romantic and sexualized AI chatbot interactions with minors and stronger safeguards against adults targeting kids in private messagesMM: Settlement gapsAge assurance:Meta may elect to use one or more Proprietary Age Assurance Methods. In such event, Meta shall not benefit from the presumption of compliance set forth in Section II.A.3.a. Additionally, Meta will maintain continuous oversight of any Proprietary Age Assurance Method sufficient to ensure that the method is functioning as intended.Tax deductibleThe Settling States shall cause to be completed and timely filed a Form 1098-F with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that identifies not less than 50% of the amounts paid to the Settling States as compensatory restitution and remediation within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. § 162(f)(2)(A)THEY BUNDLED CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA INTO THE SETTLEMENT$459m of the $17bn is the “Cambridge payout” - they can now put that behind them tooIs there a reason not to literally take Meta all the way? Why settle at all! Midterm elections? TAKE EVERYTHING! Meanwhile, while you settle this: Meta's creepy smart glasses are part of a much bigger plan“At the same time, Meta is using the content generated across its ecosystem to support Mark Zuckerberg's vision of a pervasive, AI-driven future. Zuckerberg's 2026 manifesto describes a world where personal AI agents will do your bidding. But building those systems requires more than conventional AI models. It also requires enormous amounts of data about human behavior, much of it generated and shared through Instagram, Facebook, and other Meta apps, or captured through hardware such as phones, smart glasses, and EMG Neural Band devices.”“We become “algorithm chow,” feeding the models intended to realize Zuckerberg's vision.”'We Know We Got This Wrong': Target Apologises and Pulls 'Offensive' Halloween Costume After Racist BacklashAn apology from us: We pulled an offensive Halloween costume that should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer for sale. As a company, we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won't happen again.Target Statement on Offensive Halloween Costume: As a company, we know we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. The costume is offensive and should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer available for sale. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won't happen again.The statement comes directly from Target's Corporate Communications department speaking on behalf of the entire enterprise, rather than a single individual like the CEO or Board Chair. Corporate apologies are deliberately released without a human signature for several strategic and legal reasons:Legal Personhood: Legally under U.S. law, Target Corporation is treated as a single legal entity (often called "corporate personhood"). It can sign contracts, hold liability, and issue official statements as an institution rather than as individual people.Leaving executive names off the statement prevents media coverage from focusing on a specific person (e.g., "CEO Brian Cornell Apologizes"). It keeps the focus on the company's operational changes and prevents individual leaders from becoming personal lightning rods for public backlash.These statements are rarely drafted by an executive. They are heavily scrubbed by legal counsel, crisis PR managers, and corporate strategy teams. Attaching a CEO's signature to a text engineered by a dozen lawyers and communications staff can actually feel less authentic internally.Phrasing the apology around "we" and "the company" establishes institutional accountability. It signals that the failure occurred in corporate vetting systems, not just from one bad decision-maker.In January 2025, Target Corporation announced the termination of its REACH initiative and restructuring of its Supplier Diversity program, marking one of the largest corporate DEI rollbacks in recent history. This decision has triggered public backlash, legal scrutiny, and investor uncertainty.Callaway Golf CEO apologizes after Good Good ad showing male golfer shoving woman sparks backlashCallaway Golf CEO Chip Brewer on Tuesday apologized for an advertisement that sparked an online backlash for its depiction of a male golfer shoving a female golfer to the ground when she attempts to use his driver."That approval should never have happened. Mistakes were made, and we are taking the matter very seriously," Brewer wrote on Tuesday. "I want to make it clear that we sincerely apologize for the video." Callaway released a statement Thursday explaining its reasoning behind ending the brand partnership: "Over the last several days, we have reflected deeply on the hurt and disappointment caused by the video we reposted. We heard from individuals who shared personal experiences related to violence against women, and their stories were powerful reminders that this issue touches the lives of far too many people. Unequivocally, violence against women is unacceptable and should never be trivialized, normalized, or used as entertainment.""In this instance, our content review process was not comprehensive enough …We have taken appropriate internal corrective actions and significantly strengthened our approval procedures to help ensure this does not happen again."The brand added that it would donate $1 million to organizations that aim to "prevent violence against women, provide resources to survivors, and advance education and awareness efforts."The online video ad, which was released online and has since been pulled, sparked criticism for depicting violence against women, while some consumers said they planned to stop buying products made by Callaway.Brewer said the ad, created by Good Good Golf, was released last week to promote a co-branded driver and had been approved by Callaway before the spot was posted online. The ad featured Good Good co-founder Garrett Clark telling Alexis Miestowski, a former Division I female golfer, in a menacing voice, "Do not touch my new driver," after he shoves her to the ground.Good Good is an American sports YouTube channel and company based in Frisco, Texas. Founded in 2020 by Garrett Clark, Stephen Castaneda, CEO Matt Kendrick, and Matt Scharff.Owner: Scoreboard ventures: co-founders Nahid Giga and Brian DickLead Investor: Creator Sports Capital — a firm co-founded by former YouTube executive Benjamin Grubbs and investment executive Brian Kabot.Good Good's CEO went nuclear on Callaway after the brand cut ties over an ad scandal"Interesting that @CallawayGolf asks us to make an ad then approves it then asks us to take the fall then drops us in a coordinated media blitz and covers it up by giving a million dollars away thinking everyone will be ok with it," Matt Kendrick wrote in a post on X.The ad fallout has had major repercussions for Good Good's business beyond the loss of its Callaway partnership. Dick's Sporting Goods yanked Good Good products from shelves, and the golf group pulled out as a title sponsor for a PGA Tour event in the fall. The reverberation has spread to the Golf Channel, which scrapped the upcoming season of its reality golf series "Big Break," whose grand prize was entry into the PGA Tour event that Good Good was supposed to have sponsored.FFA:14% have merit2 women!

Click this link for the new Living Emunah from Artscroll on Tefillah https://www.artscroll.com/Books/lemtfh.html The month of Elul is a tremendous gift from Hashem. It's an opportunity for us to prepare for a new beginning and attain teshuvah for our past wrongdoings. Hashem does not expect a person to become perfect overnight, but we do have to show that we care. We have to show that we want to grow. And besides for the will, we have to put forth effort. When a person truly wants something in avodat Hashem and does what he can to achieve it, he will often see Hashem giving him siyata d'Shmaya to accomplish things he never would have been able to accomplish otherwise. A young man recently went with his family on vacation to a place he really did not want to go. He never missed a minyan, but where they were staying, the nearest minyan was about a half hour away. Renting a car there wasn't an option, Uber didn't really work, and the only way to get to shul was by taxi. Each ride was going to cost about $60, which meant that to go to Shacharit and back and then Minchah and Arbit and back every day would cost him $240 a day. He tried contacting the local Chabad rabbi to see if maybe there were other Jews staying near him with whom they could make a minyan, but nothing worked out. Finally, he decided, "I'm going to minyan no matter what it costs." A few days into the trip, he received a phone call from a man who said, "I deal in Rolex watches, and I have one at the front desk of the hotel you're staying in. Can you bring it back with you to New York? I'll pay you a few hundred dollars." The young man asked, "How did you even know to call me?" He replied, "The Chabad rabbi gave me your number. He said you're a good guy." The young man agreed and then told the man, "I want you to know, every dollar you're giving me is going toward a mitzvah." He explained how much he was spending every day just to get back and forth to minyan. The man couldn't believe it. He said, "If that's what you're using the money for, then it would be my zechut to pay for every single day." And with that, the young man's taxi expenses to minyan were paid for the entire trip. First, he showed Hashem how much he wanted to do the mitzvah. Then he was willing to sacrifice for it, and Hashem took care of the rest. Another man told me that he took it upon himself to make sure people in shul were wearing their tefillin properly. He noticed that so many people had their tefillin falling below the proper place on the hairline, so he learned how to adjust the straps. Over the course of a year, he fixed between 200 and 300 pairs of tefillin. A few months ago, he started feeling different when he would pray. Day after day, he felt something was missing. He didn't feel the same connection to Hashem, and it was spilling over into the rest of his day. This continued for weeks. One day, he didn't have his tefillin with him and borrowed a pair from his friend. That day, suddenly, he felt so much better. The next day, he went back to his own tefillin, and once again things didn't feel right. It occurred to him that maybe there was something wrong with his tefillin. He brought them to his sofer, and indeed, it was discovered that his tefillin were pasul. He said, "I could have gone my entire life without ever knowing my tefillin were pasul." But he went out of his way to help hundreds of other Jews with the mitzvah of tefillin, and then Hashem gave him the extraordinary siyata d'Shmaya to discover the problem with his own. Another man said he went away with his family for a couple of weeks this summer. When they arrived, they discovered that the local shul prayed much later than they were accustomed to, and on Shabbat they would reach the Amidah only after the zman tefillah. This bothered the man very much because he was always careful to pray within the proper zman. He spent the first several days of his vacation searching for another minyan. The possibilities were miles away, but it was so important to him that he kept trying to find a solution. That Friday morning, he was sitting in the shul near his house when suddenly a man walked in and asked, "By any chance, could you join us for a minyan tomorrow morning that will be praying within the zman?" He couldn't believe what he was hearing. The man explained that six of them had just arrived from out of town and were looking to put together an early minyan. Suddenly, the minyan this man had been searching for was right down the block from his house. The following Shabbat, those people had left, and once again he had the same problem. He prayed to Hashem and hoped that somehow he would be able to make the zman again. Amazingly, that next Friday, another group arrived in town, staying in a different house—again, six people. Together with some people from his own family and a neighbor, they were once again able to make a minyan within the zman. This is a powerful lesson for the month of Elul. We may look at ourselves and see that a lot needs improving. Sometimes we may wonder, how am I going to change? It's too hard. But Hashem doesn't ask us to do everything ourselves. He wants us to show Him that we truly want to grow, and He wants us to put forth our best effort. When someone says, "Hashem, I want to do this. I'm going to try. I'm going to sacrifice. I'm going to do what I can," then hopefully Hashem will give him the siyata d'Shmaya he needs to accomplish it in the best way.

Buying your first luxury watch is exciting, but it's also where many people make their biggest mistake. The problem usually isn't the watch itself. It's the reason they bought it. In this video, Chris explains why so many first-time buyers end up selling or trading their watch within months, despite doing plenty of research beforehand. If you're considering your first Rolex, Omega, Tudor, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, or another luxury watch, this conversation may save you from an expensive regret.If you're buying, selling, trading, consigning, sourcing, servicing, or repairing a luxury watch and you'd like a second opinion before making a decision, we're always happy to help.

This week on Superlative, aBlogtoWatch founder Ariel Adams is joined by author and journalist Gabe Oppenheim to discuss his book Borrowed Time and the complicated history behind the modern watch industry. Gabe explains how his research into intellectual property led him deep into the history of Swiss watchmaking, including the relationship between watch companies and the Swiss government, the decline of American watch manufacturing, and the origins of what consumers understand as “Swiss Made.” He and Ariel explore how politics, competition, and industry cooperation helped shape the watch world we know today.The conversation also turns to Chinese watchmaking and counterfeiting, the importance of independent watchmakers, and the information gap between luxury brands and consumers. Gabe argues that understanding where watches come from, how they are made, and who actually contributed to their creation can make collectors more informed without taking away from their appreciation of watches. Together Ariel and Gabe discuss looking beyond marketing, celebrity ambassadors, and prestige to better understand the history, mechanics, and people behind the products collectors love.Learn more about Gabe and his newest book:- Website - https://www.gabeoppenheim.com/ - Check out his book: Borrowed Time - https://a.co/d/02tvLSO0 SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley, an ecommerce entrepreneur with over $20 million in annual revenue, delivers a comprehensive guide to building a true brand. He argues that most ecommerce sellers operate transactional "product acquisition machines" rather than genuine brands. Josh presents a 16-step framework across three phases: defining your brand identity, expressing it consistently, and compounding trust over time. He emphasizes that real brands drive customer loyalty, premium pricing, and long-term competitive advantage—ultimately shifting entrepreneurs from chasing short-term sales metrics toward building sustainable, generational business value.Bullet Points:Importance of branding for ecommerce businessesDifferences between building a brand and running a product acquisition or arbitrage businessChallenges faced by ecommerce sellers, such as increasing conversion rates and reducing customer acquisition costsThe misconception that having a trademark or storefront equates to having a brandCharacteristics of a true brand versus a product acquisition machineA comprehensive 16-step framework for building a brandPhases of brand development: defining, expressing, and compounding the brandStrategies for creating a recognizable brand identity and customer experienceThe significance of customer journey mapping and brand loyaltyMetrics and practices for sustaining brand equity and protecting brand integrityTimestamps:00:00:00 The Power of BrandingThe host lists eight benefits of strong branding, such as higher conversion rates, repeat purchases, and lower acquisition costs.00:01:01 What is Branding?The host introduces the topic of branding and a 16-step framework for building a brand for your e-commerce business.00:02:11 Custom GPT and ResourcesThe host mentions a custom GPT and slides available to help listeners implement the 16-step framework discussed in the episode.00:03:11 Host IntroductionJosh Hadley introduces himself, his e-commerce experience, and his podcast, E-com Breakthrough, for e-commerce entrepreneurs.00:04:12 Brand vs. Product Acquisition MachineThe host differentiates between building a true brand and simply operating a product acquisition or arbitrage business, common on Amazon.00:07:06 What a Brand IsA brand builds trust, optimizes for customer retention, focuses on long-term growth, and is difficult for competitors to copy.00:10:53 How Brands CompoundThe host explains how brands create a compounding effect through customer trust, repeat purchases, word-of-mouth, and easier product launches.00:12:43 The 16-Step Brand Framework IntroductionAn overview of the three phases of the branding framework: defining the brand, expressing it, and compounding its value.00:13:43 Step 1: Choose Your Primary CustomerA strong brand serves a niche customer. Defining this avatar makes all other branding decisions much easier.00:17:40 Step 2: Choose the Outcome You OwnCustomers buy products to achieve an aspirational identity. Brands must own the outcome their product provides, not just the product.00:23:48 Step 3: Choose Your AssociationsA brand is built by repeatedly connecting your company to a small number of desirable ideas, words, or phrases.00:26:54 Step 4: Write the Brand PromiseCombine your customer, outcome, and approach into a clear internal statement that serves as a decision-making tool for your business.00:28:02 Step 5: Define What the Brand Is NotBrands become clearer through exclusion. Deciding what your brand refuses to be is as important as defining what it is.00:30:06 Step 6: Choose Your Hero ProductYour hero product is the clear entry point that teaches customers what your company means and establishes your brand's identity.00:33:05 Step 7: Make the Product RemarkableThe product experience earns the second purchase. A remarkable product builds durable trust and generates powerful word-of-mouth marketing.00:34:25 Step 8: Create a Recognizable Brand IdentityDefine your brand's personality through one of three models: founder-led, a brand character, or a design-led identity.00:39:34 Step 9: Build a Distinctive Visual and Verbal WorldDesign makes your brand's meaning easier to recognize. Your brand should be identifiable even without its logo.00:40:26 Step 10: Audit the Current Customer ExperienceEvery customer encounter either reinforces or contradicts your brand promise. Audit all touchpoints, from packaging to social media.00:47:34 Step 11: Reinforce Through Trusted AssociationsBorrow trust by deliberately pairing your brand with people, organizations, or communities that already represent your brand's core values.01:02:29 Step 12: Repeat the Same Meaning ConsistentlyBrands are built through consistent repetition. While campaigns can change, the core meaning and message must remain recognizable over time.01:05:36 Step 13: Build the Next Purchase into the BrandMap the customer journey to create a logical product ecosystem that guides customers from one purchase to the next.01:08:23 Step 14: Align Every Customer TouchpointThe brand is the total experience. Ensure every interaction, from advertising to customer support, reinforces your brand promise without contradiction.01:13:36 Step 15: Run a Monthly Brand ReviewConduct a monthly review to prevent brand drift, track key metrics, and ensure all activities align with your brand strategy.01:21:16 Step 16: Protect and Compound the MeaningBrand building is ongoing. Use a brand extension test before launching new products to ensure they reinforce your core meaning.01:24:41 Final Thoughts and Call to ActionThe host summarizes the framework, offers a custom GPT and slides, and asks listeners to share and review the podcast.Links and Mentions:Tools and Resources  "Custom GPT for Brand Building": "00:02:11"  "Ecomm Breakthrough YouTube Channel": "00:09:58"  Notable Concepts and Frameworks  "16-Step Framework for Branding": "00:12:43"  Brands and Examples Mentioned  "Boom Beauty": "00:14:45"  "AG1": "00:15:46"  "Liquid Death": "00:16:39"  "Patagonia": "00:22:41"  "Rolex": "00:22:41"  "Apple": "00:22:41"  Videos and Content  "

We Fell In Love Thanks To Sobriety w/ Nic And Ant (@nic_n_ant) | The Hopeaholics Podcast #353Nicole and Anthony one of the most recognized and popular sober/recovery couples in social media. They met in a recovery meeting in 2018. She had six years and he was 60 days out of detox. His first year clean was a mess. Lies, cheating, not working a program. Both going through divorces simultaneously, his kids hating Nicole, his ex-wife's family leaving homewrecker comments in the comment section for years. They broke up and kept finding their way back. Nicole got clean at 21. Before that: 92 pounds, homeless, sheets over every mirror because she couldn't look at herself, months in the same blue dress without showering. Five arrests starting at 19 — selling drugs on felony probation, assault with a deadly weapon, possession. Stealing painkillers off a dying aunt on hospice and still not stopping. Anthony's path started with a work injury and a prescription. Heroin, then speed, then the needle. He took his son to baseball practice, dropped him off, and sat in the car getting high. He left his family mid-vacation in Montauk, drove four hours home to pawn the Rolex his wife had saved up to buy him, and went on a two-day run. When he came back, she told him: get help or you'll never see these kids again. Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsGo to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

In Episode 90 of Openwork, Collective Horology co-founders Gabe Reilly and Asher Rapkin reveal that they've sued the U.S. federal government over the tariffs squeezing the watch industry and small businesses nationwide. They explain why they joined the suit alongside co-plaintiff Burlap Barrel, how the latest Section 301 tariffs continue to limit access to independent watches, and why it's the volatility of trade policy — not just the cost — that makes it so hard for small businesses to plan and grow. The guys then dig into the numbers: the latest Swiss watch export data (up more than 11% year over year in June 2026, with the U.S. driving growth as China slides), the "bullwhip effect" tariffs are having on imports, and fresh quarterly earnings from Richemont, Swatch Group, and LVMH — where jewelry is powering the luxury recovery while watchmaking hangs tougher. Finally, they turn to the shifting Rolex and pre-owned market, where Rolex's share of secondary-market value has hit a seven-year low even as its Certified Pre-Owned program grows into a juggernaut. They close on the retail arms race reshaping the industry — Bucherer's giant new Rolex flagship in New York, fresh boutiques nationwide, and what the rise of big-box players like Watches of Switzerland and the 1916 Company means for family-owned dealers. Openwork is a weekly podcast about how the watch industry actually works. An unfiltered look behind the scenes — no press releases, no hype, and no sponsored takes.

Mendel Krashunsky is the founder of the Frum Health Club, a worldwide movement pushing Yidden to finally take their health seriously. He opens up about losing his father, an oligarch who lived a life of total luxury, to a preventable illness at just 38 years old, and how the grief sent Mendel into his own spiral of emotional eating that left him 70 pounds overweight and battling GERD before he'd even turned 20.   From there, Mendel and Nachi dig into why health gets treated as optional in frum life, even though it's a mitzvah straight from the Torah, covering ultra-processed food, GLP-1s like Ozempic, how to talk to kids about it, and the viral 10,000-steps-a-day challenge that's grown into a global movement with tens of thousands of followers. It's a raw, practical conversation about food, faith, and why taking care of your body isn't a contradiction to Yiddishkeit, it's part of it.   Join the Frum Health Club 30-Day Step Challenge!

Send us Fan MailA Rolex sounds like a flex until you hear the real point: cash is usually the most expensive thing on the table. We walk through a simple negotiation truth that changes how you ask for money, raises, and opportunities. When you lead with “pay me now,” you force the other person to feel the immediate pain of parting with cash, and even people who value you will hesitate. So we reframe the question: what can you ask for that costs them nothing today, but becomes valuable once you deliver results?Jordan Endwards shares how a client relationship turned into a performance bonus and eventually a Rolex as payment, not because of luck, but because the deal was structured around outcomes. We talk about creative deal-making, performance-based compensation, and why an “earned bonus” or revenue-linked upside can be easier to say yes to than a big upfront fee. It's a practical look at incentives, alignment, and how to create options when a straightforward cash ask stalls out.Then we flip it back on you: what's the thing you want that you've been too nervous to ask for, a raise, equity, a title, a trip? We explore how to frame that request with clear metrics, a defined target, and a risk shift that puts the burden on your performance. If you're actually as good as you think you are, this approach can be the cleanest way to prove it. Subscribe, share this with someone who negotiates for a living, and leave a review telling us what you're going to ask for next.

To say that Coco Chanel was influential in fashion would be a huge understatement. Ever heard of the little black dress? Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [Oliva Gibbs Law Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. And Dave Young here, Steve Semple over there. That doesn’t mean anything if you’re just listening to this in your car. I don’t know which one of us is here and which one of us is over there. But Stephen told me as the countdown started, he said, “Hey, I got another fashion topic for us.” And I’m like, “Shh, quiet. Let me guess. Let me guess because knowing me, maybe it’s something I know this time.” Right? Right. So I’m thinking Columbia fishing shirts. Stephen Semple: I think your other guess was Carhartt. Dave Young: Carhartt? Pants from Walmart or Sam’s Club. Probably not those, knowing you and your European travels and your fine taste. Stephen Semple: I think you’ve heard of this one though. I think you’ve heard of Chanel. Dave Young: Oh, Coco Chanel. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: She was in tight with the Germans, wasn’t she? Sort of accused of that? There’s intrigue. There’s movies. Stephen Semple: Oh yeah. Dave Young: There’s a whole miniseries and things. Stephen Semple: There’s a whole bunch of stuff about Coco Chanel, but she did a lot of innovation in fashion man. And I’m going to say this is one, given some of the background things that happened, I struggled a little bit with sort of creating the through line here because I didn’t want all of that stuff to overshadow some of the amazing things that she actually did in the fashion world that was unbelievably innovative. Dave Young: Cool. Stephen Semple: And today, Chanel remains one of the largest, most profitable luxury companies in the world. They are privately owned by a German family, the Wertheimer family. And so therefore, it doesn’t receive the same attention because it’s not publicly traded, but they do publish annual financials. And so 2025 revenue was 19.3 billion US, profit of 4.7 billion, 38,000 employees operating in a hundred countries. And to put that in perspective, that makes them the same size as Hermes, makes them bigger than Ferrari, 50% larger than Rolex. Really about the only one that’s larger is LVMH, but LVMH is like 75 luxury brands. So it’s a big deal. Really, really big deal. One of the other things I found interesting is they own dozens of these specialist artistry that do embroidery and feathers and- Dave Young: Really? Stephen Semple: … and do other luxury components. And they pretty routinely invest about a billion dollars annually in capital investment. Dave Young: Wow. Stephen Semple: They’re an interesting company, especially when you consider it all started with one tiny shop that sold hats in 1910. Dave Young: Hats? 1910? Stephen Semple: Just hats, yeah. Coco was born Gabriela Chanel. The name Coco was actually a nickname that came later when she was doing singing in Samoa, France in 1883. So in 1885, her mother dies. She’s 12 years old. She goes to an orphanage where she learns how to sew. Now in 1903, she’s working as a clerk in a seamstress in a shop in Milan that sells lingerie and linens and hosieries and things along that lines. And she’s also singing in cafes, which is where she gets the nickname Coco. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Now it’s here that she meets Etienne Balsan, who’s an aristocrat, and Coco becomes his mistress and lives with him. And one of his passion is breeding horses. So she gets into the whole horse set thing. And there’s these early pictures that show her kind of really dressed very tomboyish for the time, really dressed for the outdoors. And she starts making hats and she wants to open a store selling hats. Now he feels this is kind of a bit of a passing fancy. So he lends her some money and says, “You can do this out of my apartment in Paris, but we’re not going to do this real store thing.” And during this time, she meets a friend of his, Arthur Boy Capel, who’s a coal mining millionaire. And for a short period of time, the three of them are kind of a triumvirate, but she falls in love with Boy and runs off with Boy to Paris. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Now, this is where things are interesting. They create a gentleman’s agreement on finances. Capel finances the business and Balsan provides the location for their previously shared, I don’t know what status we’re talking about, but this is the part of the story I struggled with because on one hand you could look at this and say she couldn’t have done this without these rich men. But we also got to remember the rules at the time were so limiting for women. She couldn’t have signed a lease. She couldn’t have borrowed money at a bank. All of these things were such that that was the only way you could do something like this. Today she would’ve done it on her own. I’m completely convinced of that. Dave Young: Well, and you also have to say they couldn’t have done it without her. Stephen Semple: Absolutely, they couldn’t. Absolutely, they couldn’t. But find sometimes these things can diminish her accomplishments and her accomplishments are absolutely immense. So in 1910, she opens her first store at 21 Rue Cambon in Paris selling hats. But this is what made her hats different. At the time, women’s hats were headache-inducing, large, fuzzy, gauze, feathers, really, unbelievably ornate and hard to wear. You actually had hat pins to keep them on and all this other crap. Her hat’s still large, but they were simple and comfortable. That was her big thing. I want them to be simple and comfortable. Now, location she was in also already had a dressmaker, so she couldn’t make dresses. So she was doing these hats. And then in 1913, she opens a location in Deauville selling dresses. Again, here’s what she did different. Dresses at the time were these heavy corseted affairs. Hard to move in, hard to wear, uncomfortable. She made things that were simple and comfortable. This is what made Chanel so interesting. Simple and comfortable. Rather than being dazzled by aristocracy, she noticed something else. What she noticed is their fashion looked and felt uncomfortable. Huge hats, corsets, heavy dresses. Women may have looked elegant, but they just couldn’t move around. And this observation of hers created the opportunity. She didn’t just build a better product. She built a different philosophy. Most designers at the time were asking this question, “How can I make women look more extravagant?” Chanel asked the question, “How can I make a woman look elegant and feel free?” Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Which is a different question. Dave Young: It’s a big difference. Stephen Semple: Yeah. It is a big difference. And if you think about it, really what she created was first casual wear. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: That’s really the category that she invented. So her next innovation came in 1913 with the dress store in Deauville where she started using this fabric called Jersey Fabric. Now, it’s a cheap fabric that up to this point had only been used for men’s underwear. But what she liked about it was comfortable. It was flexible. It was light. It was easy to wear. So she found this thing that everyone was dismissing, but she saw a value that no one else saw, and she changed the story around it. She basically, again, invented sportswear using this fabric. Isn’t that incredible? Now, here’s her other big innovation, and I didn’t realize this. She’s the one who invented the idea of the little black dress. Dave Young: Oh, I think I have a glimpse of that in the back of my storehouse of strange facts, but I probably couldn’t have pulled it out. Stephen Semple: Which is incredible how iconic that is. This happened in 1926. So before 1926, early 1920s, black was not considered fashionable for everyday wear. Black clothing was for mourning, was for widows, was for domestic servants, religious dress. That’s what it stood for. And she managed to take black, which let’s face it, no positives there, and made it elegant wear. If you were a wealthy woman at the time attending a social event, you were expected to wear colorful fabrics, elaborate embroidery, beads, lace decorations. Black was considered too plain. But what Chanel saw was after World War I, the world was changing. A middle class was emergent. Women had worked in factories, they were becoming independent, they were driving cars, they were playing sports, they were entering professional life, and their clothing hadn’t caught up. Chanel believed elegance wasn’t about showing wealth, it was more about confidence. So she stripped away everything that was unnecessary. If you think about the real breakthrough moment on this was in October 1926, Vogue published Chanel’s simple black crepe dress, and the magazine called it the Ford of Chanel. Dave Young: The Ford of Chanel. Stephen Semple: The Ford of Chanel. Dave Young: Yeah, like a model piece. Stephen Semple: Because it was simple, it was reliable, it was accessible, it was timeless, and it was suitable for almost everyone. So instead of being this hope couture that only a handful of women could wear, Vogue predicted that this dress would become the universal uniform for stylish women. And they were right. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off, and trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: Instead of being this hope couture that only a handful of women could wear, Vogue predicted that this dress would become the universal uniform for stylish women. And they were right. Dave Young: I don’t know. I’m no expert on those times, but when I think of other black garb and we talk about funerals and religious orders and things like that, you think of the flowing robes of a nun or the just frilly, lacy, Victorian era, I don’t even know, dresses that you see women in mourning in, right? Widows and things. And they look extremely bulky and hot and folded and frilly and uncomfortable. And she stripped all that away to where it’s just… What it really emphasized is form. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: And let you accessorize and add accents, right? Stephen Semple: Exactly. Dave Young: You show your arms, that’s like accessorizing the little black dress. And it highlights a piece of jewelry. Stephen Semple: Absolutely. Yeah. So what she removed was the heavy embroidery, the bright colors, all of those things. And social rules. She changed social rules around it. So what’s left? A clean silhouette and this simplicity that shifted the attention from the dress to the woman wearing it, which was a revolutionary concept. Dave Young: Before that, you would identify basically identity by the wearing of black. There’s a nun, there’s someone mourning. Stephen Semple: There’s a woman in mourning. Yeah. But the other thing is it changed the economics of fashion. To your point, Dave, simply change the shoes, the jewelry, the handbag, the scarf, and you change the outfit. And the same dress could be worn lunch, dinner, work, party. Today we call this versatility. Back then, revolutionary. Dave Young: Well, and honestly, in the mind, and we talk about this in our portals and the 12 languages, the mind class, the more you layer on things that. If you’re trying to say mourning, you’re mourning someone. Okay, black, folds, lace, hat, veil, all of the things that you associate with mourning. If you’re trying to say a nun, it would be folds and layers and nothing showing except maybe a little white in the hat or somewhere around the edges. And the more things that you layer on that provide it with the reinforcement of that meaning, the more deeply it’s felt to be understood. So you look at someone that’s wearing all that and you say, “Oh, this is a person that’s in mourning.” And if you strip all those things away and you do something that is different, that makes your head kind of go, “Wait, what’s this?” Instead of being, “Oh, this is a nun.” You say, “Oh, who are you?” You raise interest. You raise interest. Stephen Semple: See, this is what she understood. Oh yeah, but wouldn’t it be so easy to go, you can’t do black because black stands for all these negative things. But what she understood exactly what you’re saying, if I strip away all these things, I’m actually creating a new meaning to this color. I’m actually changing the language it’s speaking, which is so difficult and so amazing and so brilliant on her part. And it’s interesting when you think about she changed the economics of fashion so that essentially what used to happen with elegance is a wealthy woman would own a dozen elaborate dresses. Now, what could happen is a woman of means could have one beautifully designed dress that could do the work of many. So she changed that. You know who else did that when we think about it? If we go back to our early episode of M.M. LaFleur where she looked at fashion and she was a working woman, professional working woman, and she said, “You know what? Fashion doesn’t work for a woman in an office. I need to change the rules. It needs to have a pocket that works, needs to pass the New York taxi test. I can slide out of a taxi with skirt hiking up. I need to be able to bend over and get out a file without Cleavage showing.” But again, changed the rules around fashion. This is what Chanel did. And the interesting thing is luxury used to say the language of all this dress and whatnot was, how much money can I spend? Where the little black dress said, “I don’t have anything to prove.” It threw out a very different signal. It really was a dress innovation. For her, black was grief. After her, black was sophistication. Dave Young: Yeah, and mystery. It’s an intrigue as opposed to, “Well, I get this.” Stephen Semple: She persuaded society to see black differently. How freaking incredible is that? That is remarkable. Dave Young: She did removing most of the black. Stephen Semple: Yes. Yes. Very few people have had that type of cultural influence. So when I was looking at this, I went, “Oh man, she is a remarkable woman to be able to do that.” So when you step back and you think about the hats, the jersey sportswear, the little black dress, they all followed the same pattern. They weren’t three separate innovations. They were three expressions of one insight. And that insight was women wanted to feel free, not dressed. The hats removed the enormous feathers and decorations. The jersey sportswear removed the stiff, restricted fabrics, and the little black dress removed all the unnecessary ornamentation. And she did one other thing to further free women, handbags. She was the first person to add the shoulder strap to a handbag, freeing the hands. Dave Young: All right. I never think of that, but you’re absolutely right. Stephen Semple: The question she was constantly asking is how do I give women more freedom while making them feel even more elegant? That was the philosophy of the company. Dave Young: That’s so cool. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So she became an empire because the hats were successful. The Jersey clothing was successful. Little black dress was successful, all because they proved that same idea. Elegant should never come at the expense of freedom. And that’s the thing she pursued. And when we think about it, at the time, that was even a revolutionary idea. Dave Young: Yeah, absolutely right. Absolutely right. Stephen Semple: It was what we would call a bold idea. A bold, bold idea. Dave Young: I want to watch this movie about Coco Chanel, not the one where she gets. In the ’30s and ’40s, she got caught up with financial problems because everybody in Paris did. The market goes away and she was doing what she needed to do. Leave it at that. Stephen Semple: And that’s it. And there’s all sorts of things around how the ownership will come back and forth. And she left for a while and was brought back. But I decided, you know what? Dave Young: Yeah, that’s not what built her brand. Stephen Semple: And her brilliance was bold. These ideas seem obvious today, but they were bold change ideas that changed the way the world looked at fashion, changed the way the world looked at the color black. And anybody who does that is a remarkable innovator who took this bold idea and ran it out there. Dave Young: I love it. I love it. Thank you for sharing the Coco Chanel story. Stephen Semple: Remarkable woman. Yeah. Dave Young: Next week we’re going to explore the fashion options in the fishing section of Walmart. Maybe we won’t do that. Stephen Semple: People will start thinking you fish. Dave Young: I don’t. No, I absolutely don’t, but I absolutely do. I like fishing shirts. I just do. They’re comfortable. They breathe a little. Stephen Semple: There you go. Dave Young: You’d be surprised. Nevermind. You don’t want to know where to. I’ll tell you anyway, you’d be surprised if you go to the fishing section of Walmart to look for a shirt because you don’t expect to find a colorful, bright, comfortable shirt in the fishing section yet there they are. Stephen Semple: There they are. All right. Awesome. Dave Young: Thank you for bringing Coco Chanel to the Empire Building. Stephen Semple: I don’t know where to go with all this. No, we’re done. We’re done. Stick a fork in it. Thanks, David.

Bon, il faut que je vous avoue un truc...Pour cet épisode, j'ai fait quelque chose que je ne fais jamais habituellement.En plus de tourner ici, incendies oblige (immense respect à nos pompiers et agriculteurs)Ça fait un moment déjà que je vois passer des Wolbrook qui me font de l'œil.Et récemment, quand j'ai su qu'ils sortaient une édition limitée avec DodaneUne référence de l'horlogerie militaire française. Je me suis dit : ok, ils ont gagné, Il faut que je l'aie en mains.Alors voilà, j'avoue tout : c'est moi qui les ai appelés.Je leur ai demandé de m'envoyer le seul exemplaire en leur possession, celui de la prévente.Je l'ai pour quelques jours seulement. Et j'ai voulu vous en parler avant qu'il ne reparte.Aujourd'hui, on va voir ensemble ce qui se cache derrière cette collab avec Dodane.Est-elle à la hauteur de l'héritage qu'elle représente ?Et surtout, en quoi cette Skindiver n'a strictement rien d'une Skin classique.Tout est dans les détails, et ça valait vraiment le coup que je vous en parle, vous allez voir !#183, je vous dis tout sur la nouvelle Wolbrook Skindiver Cédric Dodane spécial editionBonne écoute

In this episode, Balazs steps away from the interview format to share something he's never fully unpacked on the show before: his personal "prosperity equation." It's a framework for why he makes the choices he makes — from the solid gold Rolex he bought himself for his 40th birthday, to the 1.5-acre family home, to the beachfront penthouse in Mexico — and why none of it is about status or flexing.The core idea: prosperity isn't about accumulating stuff. It's about intentionally curating an environment, because environment creates experience, experience reinforces identity, and identity builds legacy. Balazs walks through how this plays out in his own life — his wardrobe (five identical outfits, no decision fatigue), his home systems (lazy susans', matching containers, smart-home lighting), his family's summer planning, and the outdoor adventure park he's building for his kids to grow into over the next decade.He also opens up about why the podcast's new direction has taken longer than planned — a season of high standards, big goals, and a lot of moving parts, including helping his five-year-old daughter launch her first business.In this episode:Why "the prosperity equation" isn't about money first, stuff secondThe real meaning behind his 40th birthday Rolex — and why it's meant for his son one dayHow the family home, the Mexico penthouse, and travel all serve the same intentional purposeWhy he owns five of almost everything (and how simplicity creates freedom, not restriction)The home organization systems that changed how his family lives day to dayCurating an "environment" for his daughter's first business — without turning it into "serious business"How to audit your own home, habits, and choices for intentionA behind-the-scenes look at how the Kardos family plans an intentional summerA line to sit with: Don't measure your life by what you own. Measure it by the environments you intentionally create, the experiences they make possible, and the people those experiences help you become.

Most people aren't buying the Rolex GMT-Master II "Bruce Wayne" because they love the watch, they're buying it because of the hype. In this video, Chris explains why that's an important distinction and why chasing future value instead of buying what you genuinely enjoy can lead to expensive mistakes.Drawing from years of buying, selling, trading, consigning, and sourcing luxury watches, Chris shares how hype cycles typically unfold, why serious collectors think differently, and what you should consider before purchasing one of Rolex's most talked-about GMTs.OUR CHRONO24 STORE: https://www.chrono24.com/dealer/warriortime/*Reach out to us and include the words "WT YouTube" to get a free appraisal.*

Was, wenn nicht das große Erlebnis dein Leben verändert, sondern das, was du jeden Tag ein kleines bisschen tust? Hinweis: Dieses Interview existiert bereits in seiner ursprünglichen Form — diese Folge hebt noch einmal die wichtigsten Kernaussagen hervor und bringt sie in neu aufbereiteter Form auf den Punkt. In dieser Episode spricht Curse mit Tobi Beck. Unternehmer, Speaker und Gründer des Unbox Your Life Clubs — über tägliche Rituale, den Compound-Effekt kleiner Gewohnheiten und warum Spiritualität manchmal der beste Weg ist, sich selbst zu belügen. Du erfährst: - Warum das große Seminar, das große Buch, das große Erlebnis allein nie reicht und was wirklich langfristig etwas verändert - Was spirituelles Bypassing ist und wie du erkennst, ob du Meditation und Persönlichkeitsentwicklung nutzt, um hinzuschauen oder genau das zu vermeiden - Was eine Rolex, ein Mönch in Thailand und ein Post-It mit vier Wörtern über Loslassen, Ego und innere Freiheit lehren können Eine ehrliche, warmherzige Folge über den Alltag als spirituellen Weg, kleine Tropfen die Steine höhlen und die Frage, was dein direktes Umfeld davon hat, dass es dich gibt.

New day, same great conversations. Catch new episodes of SUPERLATIVE every Wednesday!In this episode of SUPERLATIVE, aBlogtoWatch founder and host Ariel Adams sits down with Mike Margolis, President of Czapek Americas, to explore what it takes to build an independent watch brand in today's competitive market. Drawing on decades of experience across luxury watch retail, distribution, and brand development, Mike shares how Czapek has grown its presence in North America while staying true to its identity. Along the way, he reflects on lessons learned from industry icons such as Jean-Claude Biver, the importance of creating meaningful collector relationships, and why authentic storytelling remains one of the most valuable tools in modern watch marketing.Their conversation also dives into the realities of selling independent watches, the changing role of retailers and events, the impact of tariffs and global business challenges, and why collecting should always be driven by passion rather than investment. Whether you are fascinated by the business behind luxury watches or simply appreciate great horology, this episode offers thoughtful insight into what helps brands and collectors thrive together.Learn more about Mike Margolis:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thewatchenabler/ - Website - https://www.horologyworks.com/ - Czapek Watches - https://www.czapek.com/ This week's episode is sponsored by the Movado Heritage Kingmatic collection, learn more at the link below:- https://www.movado.com/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

Welcome to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we discuss sleeper watches from the '90s and '00s. It was an interesting period for timepieces, representing a transition from smaller, often quartz-powered models to mechanical ones. Let's just say that watchmakers were finding their collective feet again with interesting results. Still, there were gems, and we mention a handful.While Balazs was still a wee lad, Mike was checking out watch shops during the '90s and beginning to spend some of his hard-earned wages by the early '00s. One of the sleeper watches mentioned during this episode even found its way into his collection during that period. But there are plenty of other great pieces to consider. Some are already well known and often discussed, while some of our picks barely get a mention. Enjoy the show!HandgelenkskontrolleWe launch our show with a chat about recent events. Mike has returned from a largely stress-free trip to Germany. Of course, England's punishing loss to Argentina in the World Cup semifinal makes an appearance. Ugh. Regarding the big screen, The Odyssey looks like a potential must-see. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Balazs has joined the fray with his Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm. This is the original version that Mike reviewed way back in 2018. Compared to today's model, it uses an ETA 2801-2 with a 50-hour power reserve instead of the current Powermatic 80-derived caliber, meaning that it ticks with a higher frequency.Mike, after wearing his 36mm Hamilton all week, has chosen a relatively similar watch for this episode. The old Seiko 5 7S26-02J0, otherwise known as the SNK805, is out in preparation for an article about it. When new, this piece was available on sites like Amazon for €40–80 and now commands prices of €150–250. While we miss the old days, we can't help but believe that this is still decent value for a relatively bulletproof, if not overly accurate, and timeless watch.Sleeper watches from the '90s and '00sFor our main topic, we return to a dubious period in watchmaking. The '90s and '00s were a great time, but when it came to watches, the results were all over the shop. Bubbly, crude, and forgettable designs were the norm. However, there were certainly standouts. The large brands, like Rolex, Patek, and JLC, largely stuck with tradition and made some beauties, but we're not here to discuss those. We're discussing some of our favorites from other marques, large and small. As mentioned, some of these pieces are popular, so perhaps they don't fall under the term "sleeper." Still, we think they deserve even more love. We start off our discussion with the Porsche Design by IWC ref. 3702. With its flush-mounted pushers, this watch looks as clean and modern today as it did in the '80s and '90s.In fact, this isn't the only mention of IWC during this episode. The entire catalog of IWC releases, including the Porsche Design watches, during this era was incredible. References included the Mark XII, the Ingenieur 3521, and more. These watches were focused, over-engineered, and beautifully built. A special nod goes to the Aquatimer 3536-2000, another watch that looks incredible now. The Ikepod Megapode Chronograph GMT, designed by Marc Newson, is another model that we love. Friend of the show Eric Wind from Wind Vintage has a special love for these!The Hamilton 9379 chronographs represent an odd period for the Swiss-American brand. These Valjoux 7750-equipped models wear beautifully and are delightfully inexpensive. Plus, there are many variants to choose from, which means there's something for everyone. For our next sleeper pick, some of us may remember when Omega attempted to lure younger, budget-conscious buyers with the Dynamic Chronograph. Reference 5240.5000 had strong military vibes with Breguet-esque numerals and massive pump pushers. These pieces used an ETA base with a Dubois Dépraz module. Today, these 38mm watches are still inexpensive but offer a great wearing experience. For an even more pared-back style, the field watch 5200.5000 is also interesting.For our last in-depth sleeper discussion, we mention the Girard-Perregaux Sea Hawk 7100. These lovely divers come in a variety of colors and case materials. Plus, they're still relatively affordable for a piece in decent condition. There's even a GMT version! For our honorable mentions, Balazs discusses the Breitling Aerospace, the Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Memory Time, and the legendary Rolex Oysterquartz 17000.We hope you enjoy today's show. As always, let us know if you have ideas for future episodes!

From childhood Casios to space-grade quartz, digital watches are having their moment again. What started as a “beater watch” turned into a deep dive into some of the coolest, most collectible watches ever made — from G-Shock squares and calculator watches to the Omega X-33 and the legendary Casio Dream Project in solid 18k gold.

In this episode, I explore one of the deepest patterns I've uncovered after years of coaching founders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and executives: the insecure overachiever. We unpack why so many successful people unknowingly tie their worth to achievement, why nothing ever feels like enough no matter how much money they make or success they achieve, and how this hidden pattern quietly steals their peace, presence, relationships, and fulfillment. If you've ever wondered why you can't slow down, why you're constantly moving the goalposts, or why success still feels strangely empty despite everything you've accomplished, this conversation may help you understand what's really driving you—and how to finally break free from it. In this episode, you'll learn: Why achievement becomes emotional regulation The hidden belief driving the insecure overachiever Why success never feels like enough How busyness becomes emotional avoidance The real reason high achievers constantly move the goalposts Why external success can never create internal worth How to stop asking achievement to answer the wrong question A practical framework to create fulfillment instead of endlessly chasing it If you're successful on paper but still feel restless, disconnected, anxious, or like nothing you accomplish is ever enough, this episode will challenge the way you think about ambition, achievement, and what you're really chasing. Listen now. Time Stamps: 00:57: The uncomfortable question every successful person is secretly trying to outrun 7:50: "What are you running from?"—the question that changed everything years later 12:08: The hidden addiction that's quietly controlling your confidence and self-worth 16:28: The expensive pattern that keeps successful people chasing more while feeling emptier 18:34: Why your Ferrari, Rolex, and bigger bank account will never fill the hole 19:30: The belief you learned as a child that's still running your life today 21:47: The simple exercise that helps you stop chasing success and start feeling fulfilled I help founders and CEOs overcome the hidden psychological and emotional costs of success so they build a life that feels as successful as it looks.

Why do so many great companies get bought, then deliberately ruined in the name of profit? That mystery is what drove Eric Ries, author of the mega-bestseller The Lean Startup, to write his new book, Incorruptible. Eric has spent 15 years helping founders build companies, and he has watched the best of the industry alongside its dark side: beloved brands acquired and gutted, founders pushed out of companies that still bear their names. In this episode, he unpacks why it keeps happening, and what a rare set of enduring companies do differently. In this Marketing Speak episode, Eric breaks down: ✅ Why learning, not technology, is still the real rate-limiting step in the AI era ✅ Why you can't outsource the hard cognitive work, no matter how good the tools get ✅ The two traits that Costco, Patagonia, Vanguard, and Rolex share despite having nothing else in common ✅ Ethos and integrity: how to give your mission a guardian that outlasts shareholder pressure ✅ Why it's always too early to protect your company's mission, until suddenly it's too late Whether you're starting something new or trying to keep what you've built from being hollowed out, Eric's blueprint for an incorruptible company is worth your time.

We kick things off with the disturbing case of two Texas sisters, Cookie and Kitty, accused of murdering a mother of five — and laughing about it afterward. Then, a heartbreaking update on Louisiana teen Ja'Derrius Minnieweather as authorities may have located his body. In Georgia, a killer suffers a heart attack while trying to dispose of a victim's body — talk about instant karma.You'll also hear about a woman who slashed a homeowner with a bottle during an argument over a “dirty house,” a Louisiana man sentenced for the brutal killings of two Baton Rouge women, and the tragic murder of a North Carolina postal worker delivering the mail. Plus, a Florida UPS driver makes off with a $55,000 Rolex, and an international story of a man who kills his girlfriend… then visits sex workers the same day. We lighten it up with some wild 4th of July Fun Facts you definitely didn't know, followed by our fan-favorite Foolish Felons segment featuring a Florida man impersonating a police officer… who ends up pulling over the real police!In Overtime, we cover a polygamous sect leader convicted of child sexual assault, a Louisiana police officer accused of groping who skips court, a “Love Island” fan whose lead foot lands her behind bars, and a wedding guest who uses bear spray to fight off an assailant.Timestamps04:00 Texas Sisters Cookie and Kitty Murder Mom of (5) and Laugh About it.10:00  Louisiana Teen Ja'Derrius Minnieweather's Body Possibly Located *UPDATE*16:00 Georgia Killer Dies of Heart Attack While Disposing of Body.19:00 Woman Slashes Homeowner With Bottle Over Dirty House.23:00 Louisiana Man Sentenced for Killing Two Baton Rouge Women.27:00 North Carolina Postal Worker Killed While Delivering the Mail.31:00 Florida UPS Driver Steals 55k Rolex.36:00  International Indiscretions: Man Kills Girlfriend Then Visits Sex Workers.39:00 4th of July FUN FACTS You didn't Know!51:00 Foolish Felons: Florida Man Impersonating The Police..Pulls Over The Police.Overtime56:00 Polygamous Sect Leader Convicted of Child SA.1:03:00 Louisiana Police Officer Accused of Groping Skips Court.1:06:00 Lead Foot Lands “Love Island” Fan Behind Bars.1:10:00 Wedding Guests Uses Bear Spray to Ward Off Assailant During Attack.VIDEO VERSION OF CRIME WIRE WEEKLY ON PATREON can be found via either link below: Exposed PatreonUnspeakable Patreon
