In Episode 136 of the Award Travel 101 podcast, hosts Angie Sparks and Cameron Laufer discuss a variety of travel and points-related topics. They begin with a member highlight, where a listener shares a positive experience using their Saks credit on an Amex Platinum card. The hosts also cover recent travel news, including JetBlue's new partnership with Condor, which offers redemption opportunities with varied point values depending on the departure location, and Citi's new transfer relationship with American Airlines, allowing certain cards to transfer points at a 10:7 ratio. They also touch on Virgin Voyages' status match offer, which benefits travelers looking to get perks on their first or second Virgin cruise.The main focus of the episode is on Southwest's Companion Pass (CP). Cameron and Angie outline how the CP works and how to earn it—primarily through accumulating 135K points in a calendar year, with credit card bonuses counting toward that total. They discuss the timing of earning the pass and mention that the current 100K sign-up bonuses on personal cards through September 17th provide a great opportunity for those looking to earn it. They also delve into whether Southwest's higher fares and additional fees, such as baggage and seat selection charges, have diminished the value of the Companion Pass. Both hosts speculate on potential changes to the CP program, suggesting that the benefit might be limited in the future, especially for those planning to earn it in 2026 or beyond. Finally, they offer a tip about not opting out of marketing messages, which can lead to lucrative offers, and announce the upcoming launch of an Award Travel 101 merchandise store.Episode Links:- Book Condor With JetBlue Points- Citi Transfers to American Airlines- Virgin Cruise Status Match- Sign Up for Southwest Cards to Support the Group Where to Find Us The Free Award Travel 101 Community.

Vi gästas av Therése Saksö medicinsk ansvarig läkare på Knodd. Therése som även är ledamot i Svenska enuresakademien – Sveriges expertgrupp för urinvägs- och tarmproblematik hos barn – samt vice ordförande i Svenska OMEP, som driver kampanjen ”Blöjfria barn tidigare”.Therése brinner för det förebyggande arbetet inom hälso- och sjukvård, och för att bygga broar mellan vård, förskola och skola, för att skapa bästa möjliga hälsa för barn.I avsnittet pratar vi om:•Potträning – från födseln till blöjfrihet: Visste du att potträning kan börja redan från födseln? Babypotting eller "elimination communication", bygger på att föräldrar uppmärksammar barnets signaler för kiss och bajs redan från start.•Varför blöjfrihet är en träningssak, inte en fråga om att ”vänta in mognad”. Genom daglig träning, positiva rutiner och trygghet kan barnet lära sig steg för steg – precis som när man lär sig att äta själv eller cykla.•Praktiska tips för potträning:•Tidigt samspel: Lär dig barnets signaler redan som spädbarn.•Skapa dagliga rutiner: Potträning blir en naturlig del av vardagen.•Gör det lekfullt: Sånger, böcker eller en rolig potta gör träningen rolig.•Beröm och trygghet: Fokusera på framsteg, undvik press och jämförelser.•Ha tålamod: Olyckor är en del av lärandet.Forskning visar att tidig och regelbunden träning ger bättre blås- och tarmkontroll, och att positiv förstärkning med trygghet är nyckeln till en smidig övergång från blöja till potta.Så ett toppenavsnitt är för dig som vill veta mer om hur du kan hjälpa ditt barn till blöjfrihet med enkla, forskningsbaserade metoder!Mer information finner du på https://www.knodd.se/artiklar-kategori/pottraning/Avsnittet är i samarbete med FRIDA Hosted on Acast.

We open light... Amex perks, Saks talk, and Chris' infamous “no flip-flops” code—then slam straight into the heavy stuff: a President publicly leaning on the Fed to cut rates and targeting Governor Lisa Cook over mortgage-fraud allegations. Can a President remove a Fed official “for cause”? We unpack the precedent, the legal gray, and why Fed independenceactually matters. Plus, Powell's Jackson Hole comments and how a few words swung rate-cut odds—and markets—fast.➡️ Then we zoom out: what politicized monetary policy means for investors, borrowers, and the election-year economy. Finally, a sharp turn into tech: Apple's puzzling strategy (a thinner iPhone—really?) versus the real arms race—AI. We debate foldables, whether Apple will plug in third-party AI (ChatGPT or Google), and why the next big leap has to be usefulness, not just sleekness. Keywords you'll care about: Trump vs the Fed, Lisa Cook, rate cuts, Jerome Powell, Jackson Hole, Apple, iPhone, AI.

Semesteret er i gang! I studio er Mar Valo, Ilja og Emil og snakker om hva som venter i høsten, og alt turbulente ting som faller inn. Bli med denne godgjengen på en skikkelig kaotisk samtale, og masse morro selfølgelig!
In an August 14th Vogue Business article by Madeleine Schultz , Saks Global, the parent company of Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, discussed its personalisation strategy and an investment of $600 million for it's new platform. The only problem is: based on the article, we think they got it wrong. In this episode of the Experience Strategy Podcast, hosts Aransas Savas, Joe Pine, and Dave Norton delve into the evolving landscape of personalization in retail, particularly focusing on Saks Global's new strategies. They discuss the importance of understanding customer modes, the role of contextual data, and the challenges faced by traditional personalization approaches. The conversation highlights the need for brands to meet customers where they are, especially in the age of social shopping, and emphasizes the integration of online and offline experiences to enhance customer engagement. This episode is brought to you by The Cargo Agency and Feedback Now. Takeaways Personalization is a form of customization for individuals. Saks has invested heavily in personalization strategies. Modes thinking is crucial for effective personalization. Contextual data is essential for understanding customer needs. Traditional personalization approaches may feel outdated. Social shopping is a growing trend in retail. Brands must meet customers where they are online. Integration of online and offline experiences is key. Personalization should not just be about demographics. The future of retail lies in innovative and brave strategies.

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we discuss the current state of Saks Global, including the appointment of a new CFO at a time when the company's finances are under increased scrutiny. We also talk about Richemont's better-than-expected earnings and what they indicate for the state of the luxury industry. And finally, we break down Inditex's decision to expand its ultra-low-priced fashion brand Lefties into new markets to compete more broadly with Shein. Later in the episode, we speak with Stephen and Erica Malbon, the co-founders of Malbon Golf. Malbon is known for its edgy, irreverent takes on traditional golf attire at a time when the sport is more popular than ever. Last year, one of Malbon's athletes, Jason Day, was asked to change his Malbon vest on the course because it was too distracting, a fortuitous moment for a brand that's intentionally trying to push the envelope of what golf attire can look like. Below are a few highlights from the conversation, lightly edited for clarity.
Bill Cohan joins guest host extraordinaire Julia Alexander to dissect Bill Ackman's latest headline-generating antics—this time at a tennis tournament—and the optics of his increasingly erratic behavior. Then Bill breaks down the escalating crisis at Saks Global, where a debt restructuring effort has devolved into intra-creditor warfare, and why Chapter 11 may be on the horizon.

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and editor-in-chief Jill Manoff break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we're talking about the state of Saks Global and bringing you some takeaways from the Glossy E-Commerce Summit in Miami. Later in the episode (17:16), we host a roundtable discussion with luxury leaders about the state and future of the luxury sector. First, we break down two big pieces of news regarding Saks. The company is reportedly looking to form a joint venture to operate Bergdorf Goodman. It also secured over $300 million in new financing to help it get back to a liquid state. But Saks still reportedly owes more than $700 million in overdue payments to its brand partners. Saks's non-payment was a frequent topic of conversation at the Glossy E-commerce Summit held in Miami this week. We share some of our takeaways from the event, including how brands are meeting the demand for content and planning for the holidays. And lastly, Jill Manoff led a discussion with Bradley Carbone, deputy CEO of luxury retailer Luisaviaroma; Joelle Gruenberg, a partner at McKinsey and head of its apparel and fashion division in North America; and Tanner Graham, CEO and co-founder of the luxury branding agency General Idea. The conversation touched on how luxury is faring, how its reliance on China may have held it back in recent quarters, and how the divide between a high-net-worth luxury customer and a more aspirational customer is impacting the segment.

In this episode of the Remarkable Retail podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis begin with a news segment covering recent market developments, notably the "tariff turmoil" between the US and China. They discuss how the US has partially de-escalated its stance, with tariffs dropping from a proposed 145% to 30%, creating a 90-day window for retailers to import products. However, they emphasize that smaller retailers remain disproportionately affected due to limited resources compared to giants like Home Depot.The hosts also cover recent retail earnings reports, including Walmart's strong comp store sales growth despite withdrawing Q2 guidance, and their strategic pricing approach to tariff impacts. Other earnings news included On Running's impressive 40% sales growth, while American Eagle, JC Penney, and Burberry reported significant losses. Additional news touched on refinancing challenges at Kohl's, potential bankruptcy concerns at Saks, and Dick's Sporting Goods' surprising acquisition of Foot Locker.The featured interview with Stephen Yalof, CEO and President of Tanger, explores his extensive career spanning retail real estate, including roles at New Plan Realty Trust, Gap, Ralph Lauren, and Simon before joining Tanger in 2020 – humorously noting he arrived when "every one of their 3,000 stores was closed" due to COVID.Yalof provides a fascinating historical perspective on outlet centers, explaining how they evolved from manufacturers' sales of returned items and factory seconds to a strategic retail channel. He details how the Tanger family themselves were shirt manufacturers who realized they were "selling more stuff out the back door than out the front door" before creating the first outlet center in Burlington, North Carolina.The conversation explores how vertical retailers like Gap transformed the model, creating consolidation stores for excess inventory before establishing dedicated outlet locations. This evolution progressed from pure excess inventory management to serving aspirational customers who understand brands but can't afford full price – what Yalof describes as bringing customers "into your ecosystem."In response to competition from online and fast-fashion retailers, Yalof explains Tanger's strategy shift from purely "power shopping" to full-service experiences with improved food, entertainment, and amenities. He compares this to how stadiums have evolved despite at-home viewing advances, stating, "We're the general merchandise managers of our shopping centers... it's about picking the right uses, right experiences, the right amenities."The interview concludes with insights into Tanger's digital engagement strategies, including how they leverage customer data to create targeted marketing campaigns and provide stackable discounts through retailer partnerships, guided by their vision of "using customer insight to inform the future of shopping."

Here's the thing: no matter what your catalyst is, whether it's a layoff or you quit and pivoted, you'll always end up where you need to be. Take our guest, Lucia, for example. She was laid off during the pandemic, and soon after, she realized her dream wasn't to be an art director for Amazon. That company, by the way, laid off her entire team as soon as things got rough. Now that she had the freedom to take a breath and think about what she actually wanted to do, Lucia knew she wanted to work for herself and be an illustrator. Now, she's a successful working artist who has partnered with some of the biggest brands in the world. Lucia Diaz is a published illustrator and co-author of Viva Latina, created in collaboration with Sandra Velasquez, the visionary CEO of Nopalera. As a sought-after public speaker, she has delivered impactful talks for prestigious brands, including American Express, Target, WBENC, We All Grow Latina, and Latinas in Tech. In her work as an illustrator, she has partnered with iconic global brands such as DIOR, Tiffany & Co., CHANEL, Giorgio Armani, SAKS, DVF, and Carolina Herrera, elevating events through live sketching and art that captures the essence of culture and elegance. Lucia Diaz's passion for illustration stems from a deep desire to ensure Latinas see themselves authentically represented. Growing up, the only Latina she encountered in history books was Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. This lack of visibility inspired her to take action. Studies indicate that Latinas constitute only 3-5% of the figures featured in U.S. history textbooks—a statistic that does not reflect their profound contributions to America's legacy. Through her art and storytelling, she illuminates the power of representation. Whether creating inspiring illustrations or leading dynamic workshops, her mission is to celebrate Latinas, amplify their voices, and ensure young girls—like her goddaughter—see themselves in stories of wisdom, strength, and achievement. In this week's episode, she shares her story of how she went from being a child of a low-income family to working with luxury brands and having an extremely coveted mentor. She went from being laid off to creating a successful business that works with some of the biggest brands in the world. She now shares her story and encourages other artists to start working for themselves rather than relying on corporate entities that don't care about them. Listen to Lucia's episode for incredible entrepreneurial tips, real-life experiences, and heartfelt connections now.

Landbase is pioneering a new approach to go-to-market automation, using agentic AI to help businesses generate leads that convert. With $12.5 million in seed funding, Landbase is automating the mundane aspects of sales and marketing while leveraging machine intelligence to recommend high-converting campaign strategies. In this episode of Category Visionaries, I spoke with Daniel Saks, CEO and Co-Founder of Landbase, about his journey from building the unicorn AppDirect to his latest venture. Daniel shared his vision for creating software that works for you, not the other way around, and how AI-powered tools can help reclaim your day by turning months-long campaign processes into minutes. Topics Discussed: Landbase's mission to solve the challenge of generating leads that convert Using agentic AI to create go-to-market campaigns with high conversion potential The transition from months to minutes for launching marketing campaigns Daniel's journey building AppDirect into a unicorn and his decision to start Landbase The shifting landscape of B2B technology from on-prem to SaaS to AI Finding motivation beyond material success and focusing on mission-driven work Landbase's three core OKRs: faster, cheaper, better How AI can harness data to enhance human performance, not replace humans Building "GTM1 Omni," Landbase's domain-specific model for go-to-market insights The concept of "digital trust" and its importance in modern marketing efforts GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: AI should augment humans, not replace them: Daniel emphasizes that AI's role is to "automate the mundane so humans can do more human things." The most effective AI implementation preserves human agency while enhancing performance through machine intelligence. Focus on micro-ICPs for higher conversion: Landbase's data shows that targeting micro-ICPs (Ideal Customer Profiles) or niche audiences with specific problems can yield dramatically higher engagement rates—sometimes up to 90% email open rates compared to 1% for broader approaches. Opportunity in underdigitized industries: Traditional businesses like tool and die manufacturing, landscaping, or mining represent untapped markets for digital solutions. Being the first to create content for these niches can give you a significant advantage. Digital trust is the new currency: Building trust through your digital presence is critical. This includes having relevant case studies (video performs better than text), third-party ratings and reviews, credible authorities discussing your brand, and strong domain authority through proper backlinks. The Y Combinator playbook is outdated: Daniel argues that the traditional lean startup methodology of building a point solution around a defined customer market doesn't work in today's AI landscape. Creating a sustainable moat requires thinking differently and taking greater risks. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co

The companies that win the next decade won't just adopt AI — they'll redesign how work gets done from the ground up. Daniel Saks, CEO and Co-Founder of Landbase, returns to share lessons learned from scaling two companies across two major technology waves. Daniel explores how the path from SaaS to agentic AI is not just a shift in tools, but a complete rethinking of how businesses operate, compete and grow.Specifically, Daniel discusses:(03:35) Daniel had early conviction in SaaS and saw it reshape business.(07:48) How his approach today targets SMBs, and not enterprises.(10:04) The intense competition in AI and how Landbase differentiates through deep talent, data, and execution.(16:34) Why the infrastructure war in AI mirrors the early cloud era.(19:53) AI can replace outdated service-based businesses.(21:24) “Reclaim your day” reflects Landbase's mission to let humans focus on creative, high-value work.(23:39) Why value creation and timing still win deals — regardless of the tech wave.(28:41) Relevance beats personalization in outbound.(30:36) Why “move fast and break things” doesn't work in a world demanding trust, values and governance.(36:26) AI will run on autopilot — with humans in control.Resources Mentioned:Daniel Sakshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/danielsaks/Landbase | LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/landbase/Landbase | Websitehttps://www.landbase.com/This episode is brought to you by:Leverage community-led growth to skyrocket your business. “From Grassroots to Greatness” by author Lloyed Lobo will help you master 13 game-changing rules from some of the most iconic brands in the world — like Apple, Atlassian, CrossFit, Harley-Davidson, HubSpot, Red Bull and many more — to attract superfans of your own that will propel you to new heights.

We're debuting a new series on the Toolkit feed; a look into some of the challenges and opportunities facing independent filmmakers in 2025. First up, we sit down with veteran producer Alex Saks, to dig into why even our most successful independent filmmakers are struggling to make a living right now. If directors like Sean Baker and Brady Corbet can work with the best indie studios, get great reviews, win awards, and STILL can't make rent, what does that mean for indie filmmaking as a whole?
