If this resonated with you, here are additional resources: APPLY TO SHIFT: https://sidehustlepro.co/shiftIn this episode, I sat down with Jamila Wright, co-founder of Brooklyn Tea, to trace the full story of how she and her husband Ali turned tea dates into a business. Jamila walked me through leaving a career in education, emptying her retirement savings, and fighting a two year trademark battle before they ever opened their first location.We got into the real financial decisions behind building out that first shop, including an SBA loan that arrived late, putting up her own home as collateral, and the lesson she learned about the difference between being an investor and being an owner operator. Jamila also shared how a relationship with a fellow Brooklyn business owner led to their current Lewis Avenue location.From there we picked up with how Brooklyn Tea's verticals came together, the financial setbacks along the way including a six figure loan and a partnership that fell apart, and the moment she and Ali finally started paying themselves. Main TakeawaysBig opportunities often come from saying yes rather than a master plan, so be ready to rise to the moment when it arrives.Waiting on outside funding like an SBA loan can force you to dip into personal savings, so plan for delays before signing a lease or starting construction.Choosing between taking on debt or equity investors should depend on your long term goal, whether that is building a legacy brand or eventually selling it.Paying yourself is a milestone that often comes after years of sacrifice, so figuring out that number is part of building a sustainable business.Highlights Include(00:32) How Jamila and Ali went from dating over tea to business partners(08:12) The financial decisions behind opening the first Brooklyn Tea location(16:16) Why Jamila had to put up her Atlanta home as collateral for their SBA loan(19:38) Debt versus equity, and deciding what kind of business you want to build(24:13) The real lesson foot traffic taught them about their first location(29:45) How a relationship with Monique Greenwood led to their current Lewis Avenue location(37:33) Saying yes to wholesale and e-commerce almost by accident(47:39) Landing a licensing and franchising deal with an airport(52:12) The Saks Fifth Avenue partnership that fell apart(1:07:45) Paying themselves for the first time after two and a half yearsWatch & ListenSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13qDj08lBR4ymzGhXIKy8tApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/side-hustle-pro/id1126021323Social MediaWebsite: brooklyntea.comBrooklyn Tea Instagram: @brooklynteaJamila's Instagram: @jamilawright21 Hosted on Acast.

Are you actually creating opportunity, or are you waiting for someone to hand it to you? A lot of people talk about being entrepreneurs, but very few are willing to do the unsexy part: get on the plane, sit in the waiting room, build the relationship, ask the better question, and stay in the deal long enough to find the angle everyone else missed. Richard Baker built his career by doing exactly that. He did not rely on perfect timing, endless capital, or permission from people at the top. He used structure, relationships, leverage, and speed to turn overlooked opportunities into billion-dollar deals. This matters because the future of work is changing fast. AI is reshaping business, companies are cutting jobs, and more people are going to have to learn how to create value on their own. Richard's philosophy is simple: stop chasing safety, start thinking like an owner, and learn how to manufacture your own luck. The people who win are the ones who know where the ball is going before everyone else starts running after it. Richard Baker is a real estate entrepreneur, dealmaker, founder of Baker House 1921, and longtime educator through Cornell's Baker Program in Real Estate. He has built one of the largest privately owned shopping center portfolios in the country, developed 50 Walmart-anchored shopping centers, bought iconic retail brands including Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Hudson's Bay, and Neiman Marcus, and structured some of the most fascinating retail and real estate deals of the last two decades. In this episode, he breaks down negotiation, risk, AI, entrepreneurship, decision-making, and why the biggest opportunities often come from seeing what everyone else is too busy to notice. What's Discussed: (01:27) How Richard Baker built one of the largest privately owned shopping center portfolios in the country. (07:37) The family philosophy that taught him how to make money with no money. (11:13) What intellectual leverage means and why he uses brains, relationships, and structure instead of cash. (12:15) Why real opportunity comes from getting off your ass and showing up in person. (19:23) How the power of yes helped him buy Lord & Taylor for $1.2 billion. (23:34) Why big companies miss details and how that creates openings for entrepreneurs. (29:21) Why speed, risk tolerance, and fast decision-making matter in business. (39:17) How he turned the Zellers deal into a bidding war between Walmart and Target. (52:40) The difference between a zoo bear and a jungle bear in entrepreneurship. (01:02:39) Why luck is something you manufacture through preparation, strategy, and timing. (01:07:21) How Richard uses AI every morning to think, plan, and increase productivity. (01:31:38) Why courage, pulling the trigger, and structuring risk are essential for entrepreneurs.   Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Walmart just named Denise Incandela a Sam Walton Entrepreneur of the Year — one of the highest honors inside the company, and one rarely given to merchants. It's a fitting recognition for the EVP of Fashion leading one of the largest fashion transformations in American retail. In this episode of The Retail Pilot, Ken sits down with Denise Incandela -- EVP of Fashion at Walmart U.S. and a 20-year luxury retail veteran (Saks Fifth Avenue, Ralph Lauren) -- to unpack the three pillars driving Walmart's strategy: assortment, shopping experience, and perception. They explore the 80% insight that reshaped everything, how Denise's team modernized 15 private brands while bringing in 1,000+ national brands, why Walmart pop-ups in Soho became a viral cultural moment, how AI is collapsing the design-to-shelf cycle from nine months to under one, and why the $100K+ customer is now the growth engine. This is a conversation about scale, democratization, and changing how an entire country thinks about Walmart fashion.In this episode you'll learn:Why Denise won the Sam Walton Entrepreneur of the Year Award -- and why merchants almost never receive itThe three pillars of Walmart's fashion transformation: assortment, shopping experience, and perceptionThe 80% insight that changed everything: Walmart's customer spend was happening at higher price points than it offeredThe private brand playbook: six $1B+ brands, four $2B+ brands, and the New York design team behind themHow Free Assembly, Scoop, Joy Spun, and Weekend Academy were built -- and why some legacy brands had to be sunsetThe Soho pop-up that did 40% more daily volume than an average Supercenter with just three brandsCashmere for $45 and silk for the first time in Walmart's history — and what sold out almost immediatelyWhy Walmart is "very different than fast fashion" -- and how quality sets the guardrailsThe Zeekit acquisition and virtual try-on driving higher conversion and lower return ratesThe creator strategy changing perception faster than any traditional media buyThe $100K+ customer: where Walmart is winning her from, and why she's the growth engineWhy "you had to shop at Walmart" is becoming "you want to shop at Walmart"Don't forget to subscribe to The Retail Pilot podcast for more conversations with retail industry leaders and visionaries shaping the future of commerce.If you missed our last episode, where Tanya Golesic unpacks exactly how she's scaling Mackage beyond its outerwear roots, be sure to tune in.Connect with Ken:-Follow Ken Pilot Ventures on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. Hosted on Ausha.

Idanna Pucci's latest book, "Emilio Pucci: The Astonishing Odyssey of a Fashion Icon," is a biography co-authored by the niece of the famed designer along with her husband, Terence Ward. The narrative moves beyond Emilio Pucci's vibrant prints to uncover his harrowing experience during World War II and his role in postwar Italian reconstruction. Carefully detailed and researched by Idanna Pucci and her husband, this is an inside look at an extraordinary story of bravery long before anyone knew #EmilioPucci as the fashion artist he became. The authors recount Pucci's capture, imprisonment, and torture by Nazis following a secret mission to assist the opposition, and they explore his transition from war hero to fashion icon, with details about his shop on the island of Capri. It's a captivating read, in part because it comes first-hand from family members, most notably Idanna, who grew up in the Pucci palace in Florence and later worked for her uncle at his Saks Fifth Avenue boutique in New York. The biography draws from intimate family sources, including personal diaries and declassified war records. Please join me in welcoming #IdannaPucci on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast and the #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

Faith Kates' exit from Next Management became another example of the Epstein files turning old relationships into present-day professional consequences. Kates, the co-founder of Next, had long been known as a major figure in the modeling world, but newly released Epstein materials and follow-up reporting painted her relationship with him as far deeper than a passing association. The files showed years of warm, personal communication, business discussions, apparent advice from Epstein, and troubling exchanges involving models or aspiring models even after his 2008 conviction. Kates stepped down from Next in late 2025, officially citing personal reasons and charity work, but the timing and the later revelations made that explanation look incomplete at best. Once the emails and references became public, Next moved to distance itself from her, saying her Epstein relationship was unknown to current management and that the company was working to end all legal ties with her. In practical terms, the Epstein revelations turned Kates from a powerful agency founder into a liability.The Brunel side of the story shows how deeply Epstein's orbit overlapped with the mainstream fashion and retail ecosystem before Epstein's second arrest in 2019. Jean-Luc Brunel's MC2 Model Management, which had Epstein ties and was later scrutinized over allegations that it helped supply young women into Epstein's world, was not operating in some obscure corner of the industry. Reporting linked MC2 to major retailers and brands including Victoria's Secret, Nordstrom, Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, JCPenney, Kohl's, Target, Sears, and Belk. Some companies later minimized the relationship or said the work was limited, but the larger point is brutal: Brunel's agency had enough legitimacy to operate inside the commercial bloodstream of American retail while Epstein's history was already publicly known. That is what makes the modeling-agency angle so disturbing—not just the individual allegations, but the way a loosely regulated industry, powerful retailers, wealthy men, scouts, agencies, visas, housing, and access all overlapped in a system where vulnerable young women could be treated like inventory long before the public reckoning finally arrived.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Stepping into a new leadership role should feel like progress. But for many leaders, the pressure to prove yourself, move fast, and make the right decisions quickly muddles how you show up when it matters most. In this episode of Let's Talk, People, Emily sits down with Oneeka Botu, Senior HR Leader for Retail Leadership & Team Development at Valentino, a globally recognized luxury brand with a retail footprint across North America and markets worldwide. With more than 20 years of experience across brands including Saks Fifth Avenue, Yves Saint Laurent, Bulgari, and La Perla, Oneeka brings deep expertise in helping leaders navigate transitions and accelerate impact.Together, Emily and Oneeka unpack what it really takes to step into a new leadership role successfully. They explore how to shift out of old patterns and stop relying on what worked before, how early pressure to prove yourself can actually slow progress, and why relationships are the foundation for influence that leads to meaningful execution. They also discuss the signals behind common leadership traps like micromanaging and over-explaining, and what it means to intentionally reset when leading former peers.Whether you're stepping into a new role, navigating a promotion, or supporting leaders through transition, this conversation offers a new playbook to help you build trust faster, adapt with intention, and lead with greater clarity from day one.Timestamps:[00:04:14] No Playbook Works the Same Twice – Emily and Oneeka challenge the idea that past success guarantees future results. They explore why every new role requires leaders to adapt to a different team, culture, and set of expectations, and how relying on what worked before can quietly limit impact.[00:12:06] Relationships Before Results – Oneeka shares why new leaders must prioritize connection before execution. Together, she and Emily unpack how building trust and co-creating early direction creates the foundation for influence and sustainable performance.[00:25:13] Redefining Relationships When You Become the Boss – Oneeka and Emily unpack the emotional complexity of managing former peers. They explore why avoiding the conversation creates more tension, and how clarity around expectations, feedback, and boundaries helps preserve trust while establishing leadership credibility.[00:36:48] It's Time To Build A New Playbook – Emily and Oneeka explore the internal pressure many leaders feel to deliver immediately, and how that pressure often leads to pushing too hard, over-explaining, or micromanaging. They reframe these behaviors as common traps leaders fall into and identify how to slow down and notice the signals so that you can shift your mindset and behaviors before it's too late.

From there, he leveraged PR exposure, including major publications and editorial features, to drive awareness, organic growth, and retail demand.The conversation dives deep into how Jaxon Lane expanded beyond Amazon into direct-to-consumer, Meta advertising, TikTok, and major retail partners like Urban Outfitters, Bloomingdale's, and Saks Fifth Avenue—turning each channel into a growth engine that feeds the others.Alex also breaks down what it really takes to win with PR, why having a compelling product story matters more than just launching something new, and how consistent product innovation keeps brands relevant year after year.If you're building a product brand and wondering how to scale beyond a single channel—or how to fund growth without outside investment—this episode offers a practical roadmap from someone who's done it successfully.In today's episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, we cover:Why niche positioning and long-tail keywords drive early Amazon successHow PR exposure can accelerate brand awareness and organic growthThe role of retail as both a revenue channel and top-of-funnel marketingWhy omni-channel strategies outperform single-channel businessesWhat it takes to succeed on TikTok (and why it's a completely different model)How to approach influencer and UGC strategies more efficientlyWhy product quality and manufacturing decisions directly impact growthThe advantages and challenges of bootstrapping vs. taking outside investmentHow to fund growth by reinvesting profits across channelsAnd so much moreIf you're launching a product, scaling on Amazon, or looking to expand into retail, PR, or TikTok, this episode will help you think more strategically about long-term growth.To learn more about Jaxon Lane, visit jaxonlane.com or search for their products on Amazon.Do you have a brand you'd like to launch or grow?Want help from a partner that has successfully launched hundreds of brands totaling over $2 billion in revenue?Visit HarvestGrowth.com and set up a free consultation with our team today.

What does it actually take to lead 70,000 people through one of the biggest cultural resets in beauty history?Michael Bowes, Chief People Officer of The Estée Lauder Companies, joins Jessica Neal on Truth Works for a candid conversation about stepping into the top HR seat at an iconic 80-year-old company in the middle of a billion-dollar restructure, the courage it takes to disagree with your CEO without breaking the partnership, and why the loneliness of the role is real but the work is worth it.Michael walks through his path from Saks Fifth Avenue in the early 90s, to Nike, to Tommy Hilfiger, to Coach and Tapestry, and a brief detour into executive search before joining Estée Lauder in 2015. He spent almost ten years in talent before being promoted into the Chief People Officer role. He is honest about the fact he was not chasing the title. He took it because he believed in the new CEO Stefan's vision for the next 80 years of the company.Then the conversation gets into what is actually changing inside Estée Lauder under the new Beauty Reimagined strategy. A culture that used to default to no is now committing to say yes. Over 1,000 different bonus calculations across business units have been consolidated into nine. Brands that used to operate in silos are now rowing in the same direction with one shared set of goals.Michael also opens up about the realities of the CPO seat that no one prepares you for. The loneliness. The board dynamics. The added complexity of working inside a family-majority-shareholder company. The fact that everyone thinks they can do your HR job until you actually have to do something hard. And the running joke that the only people who tell you they would never want your job are the ones who just watched you do it.The episode closes with how Estée Lauder is approaching AI as a tool rather than a threat, including how the company is mining 80 years of prestige beauty consumer data in ways no competitor can match. Plus the rise of K-beauty, why Dr. Jart sits inside the portfolio, the China R&D centre that is reversing the old east-to-west flow of trends, and the philosophy that has guided how Michael hires for the last decade: hire the player, not the playbook.Topics Covered:How The Estée Lauder Companies scaled from a kitchen in Queens to a global prestige beauty portfolioWhy 87% of the workforce is women and how that shapes consumer decisionsTravel retail as a multi-billion dollar growth channelMichael's career path from Saks to Nike to Tommy Hilfiger to Coach to Estée LauderBeing part of the CEO succession conversation before being promoted himselfTaking the Chief People Officer role in the middle of a global billion-dollar restructureThe Beauty Reimagined strategy and its five pillarsShifting the culture from "protect by saying no" to "we say yes"Consolidating 1,000+ bonus calculations into nine business unitsThe loneliness of the CPO seat and why CEO chemistry is non-negotiableHow to disagree with your CEO and still own the decision publiclyNavigating board dynamics and family-majority shareholdersAI as a tool, not a threat, and how Estée Lauder is embedding it across R&D and consumer insight80 years of prestige beauty data and what AI can unlock from itThe K-beauty wave, Dr. Jart, The Ordinary, and the China R&D centreThe biggest hiring mistake organisations make by defaultWhy the right hire is the player, not the playbookThe piece of advice from Michael's grandmother that he still lives byTruth Works is hosted by Jessica Neal, former Chief Talent Officer at Netflix.

How do you breathe new life into a legacy brand without losing the clinical authority that made it famous? In this episode, Blair Lancer, CMO of Lancer Skincare, pulls back the curtain on her journey from a fashion-focused career at Saks Fifth Avenue to leading the strategic evolution of her family's dermatology-backed empire. Blair discusses the nuances of the "multigenerational" approach—balancing her father's scientific expertise with her own relatable, digitally native voice to reach a younger luxury consumer. We explore the "Practice to Product" philosophy, why she chooses to ignore fleeting industry trends in favor of long-term efficacy, and how the brand is preparing for the future of skincare through AI-driven personalization. Whether you are building a brand from scratch or managing a heritage business, this conversation offers a masterclass in staying authentic while evolving for the modern market.Key Takeaways:// The "Practice to Product" Standard: True clinical credibility comes from products that mimic real in-office dermatological procedures, such as "The Polish" mimicking professional microdermabrasion.// Evolving the Visual Language: To avoid being viewed as "your mother's brand," a legacy business must revamp its digital presence and packaging to feel approachable and lighter while maintaining its core DNA.// Mindset Over Trends: Chasing buzzwords and "white-labeling" products leads to diluted brand authority; instead, wait for ingredient technology to improve so that products drive repeat purchases through results, not hype.// The Power of Two Voices: Modernizing a founder-led brand doesn't mean replacing the founder; it means pairing their technical expertise with a relatable, younger voice to broaden the brand's appeal.// The Career "Dot" Theory: Success often comes from saying "yes" to adjacent roles—like Blair moving from PR to Product Development—which allows you to understand the brand from inception to consumer feedback.// Hiring for "Zest": In an automated world, hiring should prioritize a candidate's passion, ambition, and life experiences over a perfect resume alone.Connect with Blair: LinkedInLearn More About Lancer Skincare: Instagram____Join the MHH Collective!

Cleo is the Co-Founder of Barrière and also serves as the brand's CEO and brand-lead. Before starting Barrière with her Co-Founder, Alexa Adams, in 2020, Cleo had over a decade of experience in corporate fashion and styling.  She was inspired to leave the corporate world and start Barrière to offer a chic, yet medically-effective masking option to customers during the global pandemic. This led her and Alexa to expanding the brand into transdermal supplement patches, as inspired by her own issues with nutritional deficiencies.  Before starting Barrière, Cleo's most recent professional roles included Brand Manager at Moda Operandi and Director of Special Projects at Saks Fifth Avenue, where she led brand, marketing, and e-commerce strategy for these top fashion destinations.  In This Conversation We Discuss: [00:00] Intro [02:19] Finding inspiration from personal pain points [05:04] Sponsor: Klaviyo [07:03] Setting your own standards when regulations fall short [10:26] Avoiding the one-size-fits-all trap in product design [12:16] Sponsor: Intelligems [14:15] Seeding products to spark word-of-mouth online [16:18] Choosing product confidence over paid promotion [18:35] Measuring the long-term return on free samples [20:07] Sponsor: Electric Eye [21:16] Thinking creatively when marketing funds run dry  [22:48] Callouts [22:58] Owning customer relationships through websites  Resources: Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on Youtube Wear your vitamins mybarriere.com/ Follow Cleo Davis-Urman linkedin.com/in/cleo-davis-urman-91928322/ Get your free demo klaviyo.com/honest Book a demo today at intelligems.io/ Schedule an intro call with one of our experts electriceye.io/connect If you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

This week on the Remarkable Retail podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis unpack the retail news shaping the global economy—from the Iran war's impact on oil, freight and food prices to Kohl's disappointing earnings, Dick's Sporting Goods' continued growth, and another wave of store closings at Saks Global. The episode opens with the week's major macro headlines. The ongoing Iran war is pushing oil prices higher and raising concerns about fuel, transportation and food inflation. The hosts explore how disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz could impact shipping routes, air freight and fertilizer supply—factors that may squeeze consumer spending in the months ahead. On earnings: Kohl's continues to struggle with declining comparable sales and a lack of clear differentiation in the mid-market department store segment. Dick's Sporting Goods delivered stronger results, with experiential concepts like House of Sport driving growth—even as its newly acquired Foot Locker business faces headwinds. Meanwhile, Saks Global's restructuring rolls on with additional closures across both Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus locations. The centrepiece is an in-depth conversation with James Daunt, CEO of Barnes & Noble and Waterstones. Daunt shares the unconventional philosophy behind Barnes & Noble's turnaround: rather than relying on centralized merchandising and publisher-driven promotions, he empowered individual store teams to curate their own assortments and engage directly with local communities. The strategy—anchored by investments in store infrastructure, technology, distribution and higher bookseller wages—has the company opening roughly 60 new stores a year while continuing to modernize older locations. The episode closes with the hosts' "Remarkable Stories of the Week": the rise of value brand Quince, Nestlé's sale of Blue Bottle Coffee, and a discussion of tariffs, supply chains and New York's proposed minimum wage increase.

From sculptural updos, like those worn at the Golden Globes by KPop Demon Hunters singer EJAE, to the joyful, bright eye looks musician Zara Larsson has been embracing, exciting beauty trends are already emerging in 2026. With awards season just ramping up, Vogue beauty editors Margaux Anbouba and Arden Fanning Andrews joined Chioma on The Run-Through this week to share what they anticipate seeing on red carpets in the months ahead. When it comes to predictions, Arden is leaning into what she calls “romantic beauty”— soft makeup and windswept hair — inspired by the return of period dramas this year, including Wuthering Heights (don't forget to join the book club!), Sense and Sensibility, set for release in September, and Netflix's forthcoming Pride and Prejudice series. Margaux thinks we will be opting for “imperfect beauty,” meaning leaning into messier aesthetics online as a pushback against the rise of AI. Both editors (who happen to sport bobs themselves) once again said bobs are a trend to stay, even though they both plan to grow out their hair this year.Earlier in the episode, Vogue Business U.S. editor Maddie Schulz breaks down what's really going on behind the Saks Fifth Avenue bankruptcy and what fashion's “reset” may actually look like. Plus, Chloe and Chioma share their takes on the menswear shows so far and reflect on the passing of the legendary Valentino Garavani.The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Saks Global — the luxury retail conglomerate that owns brands like Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman — filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this week. But given that higher-income consumers are driving so much of spending, why is a chain of luxury department stores struggling? Then, the Trump administration is ending a special protected status for 350,000 Haitians, and the elder-care industry is expected to lose thousands of workers as a result.
