In today's episode - the finale of Season 5 - I am in conversation with luminary and renowned New York based gynecologist , Dr. Molly McBride.She shares how amazing it is to pivot later in life, how she enjoys being 60, and we talk about menopause - how it was for herself (tough) and how she helps women to manage this often complex time in life (peri-menopause, menopause, post-menopause).Dr. McBride is a passionate advocate for women's health and openly says, that she is disappointed in many of her colleagues, who simply still avoid to gain deeper knowledge about menopause and it's possible health consequences for women - from brain fog to osteoporosis, from "not feeling myself" to cardio-vascular diseases.Dr. McBride offers cutting edge services - and stresses the importance of listening to her patients, and validating their often still dismissed symptoms. She is a strong proponent of HRT - where applicable.She just relocated her practice to the Flat Iron district in Manhattan. And - being usually a step ahead, now also offers individual health plans for men.Enjoy this lively and informative episode. Listen in, feel heard - and I'll be back in the begining of the New Year with Season 6! Happy Holidays.**********SHIFT HAPPENS' Season 5 is supported by London based jewellery brand Tilly Sveaas.

Send us a textThe salon industry is changing fast. From how stylists learn, to how salons use technology, to what clients expect from their experience, there's a major shift underway. In the first part of our 2026 Salon Predictions series, Todd and Jen break down the changes already happening in education, AI and salon tech, and client behavior, and why salons that move now will have a serious advantage.This episode isn't about fear or hype; it's about understanding the direction the industry is actually going, so you can plan ahead instead of reacting later.Whether you're a commission salon owner, a suite renter, or someone planning to open a salon in the next couple of years, this episode will help you see what's coming and how to position yourself to win the long game.Key TakeawaysA lot of “education” is entertainment. Growth happens in small, focused, actionable sessions.Micro-education and mentorship will outperform large-stage education events.Salons that practice inside the salon outperform salons that “wait to find the time.”Technology is no longer optional; online booking, automation, and AI are becoming client expectations.GPTs and AR consultations will change how salons communicate, book, and guide clients.Hospitality is the new luxury: clients want to feel cared for, not impressed.Younger clients choose salons for vibe, fun, shareability, and convenience.Clients leave because of complacency, not pricing.Episode Timestamps00:00 | Welcome + Why we re-recorded this series01:00 | Structure of the 3-part predictions series02:00 | Opening Take (Jen): Unlearning beliefs about pricing and worth03:30 | Opening Take (Todd): Humans already work like LLMs + misunderstandings about AI06:00 | Prediction #1: Education splits into entertainment vs education08:00 | Challenge: Use large events as team culture, not skill development09:00 | Prediction #2: Rise of Micro-Education + skill-specific training11:30 | Challenge: Find educators who teach exactly what you need12:30 | Prediction #3: Stylists begin seeing education as an investment, not an expense14:30 | Challenge: Ask for pricing, stop assuming you can't afford it15:30 | Prediction #4: Salons that integrate education into workflow will win17:00 | Challenge: Schedule internal education now, don't “hope it happens”18:00 | Technology Prediction #1: The “Digitally Resistant” salons get left behind19:00 | Why convenience + frictionless booking matters more than ever21:00 | AI becomes your operational silent partner23:00 | Real example: Losing a client → AI brought her back two years later24:00 | GPT Agents on salon websites: what's coming next27:00 | AR Consultations: visualizing outcomes before services begin29:30 | Prediction: Data becomes the new scissors32:00 | Prediction: “Good Enough” collapses skill is not differentiation34:00 | Client Trends: Hospitality > Luxury36:00 | Businesses > Individuals.

Klangstück von Michèle Rusconi. In ihrem dritten «Road-Audio» widmet sich die Künstlerin dem faszinierenden Faultier, dessen biologische Evolution mit dem Verschwinden der Dinosaurier vor 65 Millionen Jahren begann, das aber den Europäern erstmals vor rund fünfhundert Jahren begegnete. Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will: Samstag, 08.11.2025, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 2 Kultur Diese Produktion ist das dritte und letzte Hörstück einer Trilogie. Nach dem urzeitlichen Quastenflosser und dem längst ausgestorbenen Dodo-Vogel hat sich die Schweizer Klangkünstlerin Michèle Rusconi nun der Kultur- und Evolutionsgeschichte des Faultiers zugewendet, das nur in Süd- und Mittelamerika existiert. Und wie in allen ihren «Road-Audios» tut sie dies auf der Schnittstelle von Musik, Geschichte, Wissenschaft und Literatur und schafft so eine mitreissende Klangwelt. «El perezoso», wie das Faultier auf Spanisch heisst, wurde den Europäern erst durch die Eroberung der Neuen Welt im 15. Jahrhundert bekannt. Die ersten Reiseberichte aus dem «Nuevo Mundo» schlugen in den eleganten Salons von Paris, London und Berlin ein wie ein Meteorit. Europa fiel in einen schweren kollektiven Kulturschock. Zwei unterschiedliche Denksysteme prallten wie Antipoden aufeinander. Die mitgebrachte Fauna und Flora und die exotischen Erzählungen verunsicherten und wirkten bedrohlich. Das träge Faultier stand als Symbol für den wilden unzivilisierten neuen Kontinent. Michèle Rusconi erzählt in ihrem Stück von der brutalen Conquista des reichen südamerikanischen Kontinents – quasi durch die Augen des fast reglos darüberhängenden Baumbewohners. Die Produktion wurde unterstützt durch die srks – Stiftung für Radio und Kultur Schweiz, die Sulger- Stiftung und die Stiftung Jsabelle Zogheb. ____________________ Mit: Janna Horstmann, Graham Valentine, Leila Férault, Franziska Seeberg, Peter von Stromberg, Anna Clementi und Tehila Nini Goldstein (auch Gesang) Musik: Estelle Costanzo (Harfe/Improvisation), Maurizio Grandinetti (elektrische Gitarre), Miguel Garcia Martin (Schlagwerk), Marcelo Nisinman (Bandoneon), Ludovic von Hellemont (Ondes Martenot), Luis Fernando Duque (Ocarinas), Lena Kiepenheuer (Rap) und Ulrike Jühe (Geräusche) ____________________ Text, Komposition und Regie: Michèle Rusconi – Tontechnik: Michèle Rusconi und Björn Müller – Redaktion: Susanne Janson ____________________ Produktion: SRF 2025

251108 - Nissan Leaf et les Salons de l'auto by Derrière le Volant

Helen Schulman is an acclaimed novelist, screenwriter, short story writer and New York Times Bestselling author. In my 40th episode, we talk about the concept of "sympathetic happiness", as she shares her impactful encounter with the Dalai Lama many years back.  She was visiting Portland, Oregon for the first time, exploring the city, when she basically stumbled over His Holiness: he was giving a free public audience in Pioneer Square, Helen had never heard him speak before so she stuck around. His topic was "sympathetic happiness". The idea being that if you can join in the happiness of others, your own happiness will multiply. His deceptively simple and profound theories really struck her - she had been teaching grad school for quite awhile by then, and realised that if she could be really happy for her students' successes, if their joy became her joy her life would become fuller and richer and well, happier. She always felt happy for them, but now she could focus on also being happy through them. It was a small good thing that happened to her that day, but it has really affected the rest of her life and her work as an educator.Once Helen understood this concept, it made it easier and more compelling for her to build programs that she thought would help her students reach their dreams, and also, pragmatically, help them find agents and editors, and outside work.Helen also talks about her new book "Fools for Love" that was just published in July during this recording, and she had a book launch at Rizzoli's in New York City. It's a collection of short stories, that she edited and interconnected so that they relate to each other. She also shares how she learned how to waltz from her grandmother, and how she relearned it with her husband last year in a dance class in a beautiful castle in the South of Germany (she wrote a piece about this for the Condé Nast Traveller).HELEN SCHULMAN is a novelist, screenwriter and short story writer. A collection of stories, Fools for Love, has been published by Knopf in July 2025. Prior to publication, the title story was published in The Atlantic. Her newest novel, Lucky Dogs, was one of Oprah Daily's top ten novels of 2023. She is also the author of the novels Come With Me (San Francisco Chronicle ten best books of 2019) This Beautiful Life (a New York Times and International Best Seller), A Day At The Beach, P.S., (made into a motion picture starring Laura Linney, Gabriel Byrne, Paul Rudd and Marcia Gay Harden, for which Professor Schulman has a screenwriting credit), The Revisionist and Out Of Time (Barnes and Noble Discovery), and the short story collection Not A Free Show. She co-edited the anthology Wanting A Child with Jill Bialosky. Her fiction and non-fiction have appeared in such places as Vanity Fair, Time, Vogue, GQ, The New York Times Book Review, A Public Space and The Paris Review. She is the Fiction Chair at The Writing Program at The New School where she is a tenured Professor of Writing. She is also the Executive Director of WriteOnNYC.com. A 2019 Guggenheim Fellow, Professor Schulman has been a NYFA Fellow, Sundance Fellow, Aspen Words Fellow, a Tennessee Williams Fellow (Columbia University) and the recipient of a Pushcart Prize.####On another note: I am so proud and excited to announce that SHIFT HAPPENS' Season 5 is supported by London based jewellery brand Tilly Sveaas.

From Prison Garb to Neoclassical Chic: Style and Scandal in the Directory. During the Directory (circa 1795), Teresia (Madame Tallien) and Rose (not yet Josephine) held influential salons, using style to gain success in a world where women lacked financial empowerment. Their revolutionary fashion stemmed from the prison shift Teresia wore and the plain white cotton dresses worn by African American women in Martinique, Rose's home. This style—made often of diaphanous imported muslin—passed as neoclassicism but stunned observers due to the minimal amount of clothing worn. One famous wit observed that Teresia was "more expensively undressed" than anyone else. This radical departure from the previous "cage style" clothing, enforced by sumptuary laws and guilds, was made possible by the abolition of guilds and the collective trauma of the Terror. It was at Teresia's gathering that Napoleon, then a Corsican in shoddy clothes, became entranced by Rose (Josephine).

Von der Haute Couture im Grand Palais bis zu Laufstegen im Lavendelfeld – Mode wird heute auf den unterschiedlichsten Bühnen inszeniert. In dieser Folge sprechen Selma und Sophie mit Katharina Krawczyk, Co-Kuratorin der Ausstellung «Catwalk – The Art of the Fashion Show» im Vitra Design Museum, über Mode als Gesamtkunstwerk – und darüber, wie Architektur, Musik, Licht und Bühne zu einer einzigen Erzählung verschmelzen. Gemeinsam werfen sie einen Blick hinter die Kulissen spektakulärer Modenschauen von Chanel, Louis Vuitton oder Jacquemus und diskutieren, wie sich die Beziehung zwischen Mode und Raum verändert – von exklusiven Salons bis hin zur Stadt als Laufsteg. Sie sprechen über das Spannungsfeld zwischen Luxus und Demokratie, über neue Formen der Partizipation, über die Zukunft des Catwalks und über Mode als Ausdruck von Identität, Stil und Authentizität. Das und noch viel mehr erfährst du in dieser Folge: • Wie wird aus Architektur und Mode eine gemeinsame Erzählung? • Was erzählen die ikonischen Laufstege von Chanel & Co. über Macht, Begehren und Zeitgeist? • Wie demokratisch ist Mode wirklich, wenn die Stadt selbst zum Catwalk wird? • Und wohin führt der Laufsteg der Zukunft – zwischen Street-Style, Zoom-Shows und Inklusion?

What is it that fascinates us in art? What does a painting do to us? Why do artists do what they do?Art is such a vast and individuell yet universal field to explore. When and why does an artist become an artist?In my conversation with New York based, American-Pakistani artist, Tanya Minhas, we explore the invisible in art. Tanya shares her fascination for nature and the tiny moments, that inspire her thinking and her work.She shares the moment, that made it inevitable for her to commit fully to a life as an artist. It had to do with facing challenges, grief and searching for a language to be able to truly express herself and her emotions. ( As she quoted from a book she once read "Life is not all HiHi-HaHa"). Words would not suffice, and she strongly felt that the only true, freeing and authentic language for her was found in speaking through art. So she did and committed to fully be and live as an artist.Tanya's Pakistani heritage strongly influences her work, which particularly reflects in her current show. Tanya integrates and balances her artistic practice with family life - working when possible in a meditative state.Tanya Minhas has been showing her work successfully throughout the Eastcoast in various group shows and exhibitions. Her current solo show "A Tapestry of Dreams" is on view in New York City with her gallery Winston Wächter. Tanya holds a degree from Princeton University and an MBA from Columbia University. She started her career in management consulting, yet later joined the Arts Student League and studied portrait painting under MaryBeth McKenzie, to eventually move into abstract work.####On another note: I am so proud and excited to announce that SHIFT HAPPENS' Season 5 is supported by London based jewellery brand Tilly Sveaas.

Listen in and feel heard, by the story of a woman who dedicates her work tirelessly to improve the positioning of women in leadership.When she started her career in corporate banking, and quickly moved through the ranks, to become a high-performer, Dr. Anino Emuwa noticed deeply rooted biases, when she became a mother, despite continuously presenting excellent results. She shares how she had to try hard to convince her colleagues, that she will not be working less, but differently and that everyone will need to get flexible. She realized how in general systematic issues beyond individual performance were holding women back.Dr. Anino shifted her focus to improving global business and society through gender equality leadership.She shares how she organically grew her global community 100 Women @ Davos including women from 109 countries. And emphsizes how change and shifts only happen when people work together towards a united goal and with a united purpose: full representation of women in leadership (even though at current pace this will approximately take another 200 years ...).She talks about barriers to women's leadership: historical workplace structures, socialization of both men and women in traditional roles, organisational policies and cultures that don't reward assertiveness in women, need for equipping women with knowledge and networks. We also discuss how men in leadership need to actively speak out and challenge hierarchical norms - still too little  men are vocal to drive significant change. Dr. Anino is a global expert on women's leadership and works at the intersection of emerging technologies, entrepreneurship and inclusion. She serves on the boards of several organisations, ,is a LinkedIn top voice on gender equity and a TEDx speaker. She served as a judge, coach and regional leader for the Cartier Women's Initiative.####On another note: I am so proud and excited to announce that SHIFT HAPPENS' Season 5 is supported by London based jewellery brand Tilly Sveaas.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Hello Hair Pro Podcast, Todd and Jen unpack the Evolution Trap — the danger salon and barbershop owners face when they stop evolving their business. Complacency might feel comfortable, but in reality, it leads to shrinking profits, bored staff, and clients who notice when nothing changes.Drawing from their own salon experience and mentoring work, Todd and Jen share practical strategies for staying adaptable, auditing systems, and keeping your business fresh — without overwhelming yourself or your team.Key Takeaways:If you're not evolving, you're regressing — because inflation, client expectations, and staff goals are always moving forward.Stability often equals stagnation. Your business can look “fine” while actually losing money and momentum.Staff want growth and opportunity. Without it, your best people will outgrow your business.Clients value consistency but also crave freshness. A business that never changes feels stale.Small, consistent nudges toward improvement compound into massive long-term growth.Timestamps:[00:00] – Intro & Labor Day recording Todd and Jen kick things off on Labor Day[02:00] – Staff complaints vs. staff goals Jen explains why owners should ask their staff about their goals instead of assuming laziness or a lack of work ethic.[05:00] – Defining the Evolution Trap Todd explains why saying “my business is fine” is a red flag — stability without evolution equals stagnation[07:00] – Systems that need revisiting Examples: cleaning lists, product lines, and small changes that create energy and accountability in the salon[10:00] – Why owners resist change Comfort and fear make it easy to default to “just doing more hair” instead of leading[14:00] – Mistaking stability for growth Why repeating the same playbook for 5–10 years leads to declining profit margins, bored clients, and high staff turnover[17:00] – The hidden costs of stagnation How failing to evolve affects money, staff retention, and client experience.[20:00] – Creating opportunity for staff Why your best stylists will leave if they can't see a path forward — and how to give them leadership or education roles[25:00] – Signs you're stuck Haven't raised prices in years, verbal systems only, repeated staff questions, or plateaued growth = trapped[27:00] – How to break free Audit your systems annually, update standards, seek mentorship outside the industry, and use “nudges” (small changes that compound)[32:00] – Lessons from other industries Todd and Jen share ideas borrowed from restaurants and hospitality that salons can adapt.[34:00] – Closing & challenge Final reflections and this week's listener challenge: What's one area of your business that hasn't changed in 3+ years?Resources & LinksSubscribe to our free newsletter, 321 Pro PushFollow us on Instagram: @hellohairproExplore free resources for salon owners: Links and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

Sein Urururgroßvater war Moses Mendelssohn, der Großvater von Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Niklas Schmidt konnte als Musiker also gar nicht anders, als sich mit diesem Namen und der Musik Mendelssohn Bartholdys zu beschäftigen. Auch Schmidt ist in Hamburg geboren, Felix Mendelssohn ging dann nach Berlin, Düsseldorf und Leipzig, und Schmidt ist mit seinem Cello durch die ganze Welt gereist, gehört seit Jahrzehnten zu den gefragtesten Cellisten und Kammermusikern. In Hamburg kommen beide Künstler immer wieder zusammen, beim International Mendelssohn Festival, dessen Künstlerischer Leiter Schmidt ebenfalls ist. In diesem September gibt es wieder zehn Tage lang Kammermusik mit Werken vom Barock bis ins 20. Jahrhundert - Musik von Komponisten, die Mendelssohn beeinflusst haben oder die er beeinflusst hat; Musik, wie sie in den Salons der Zeit erklungen ist oder sein könnte. Eine besondere Rolle spielen dabei die großen Klaviervirtuosen des 19. Jahrhunderts, allen voran Frédéric Chopin und Franz Liszt. Im "Salonkonzert" zur Eröffnung des Festivals am 10. September kann man beide von einer weniger bekannten Seite erleben.

Hochverehrte Zuhörerschaft, welch ein entzückendes Schauspiel sich diesmal in unseren auditiven Salons entfaltete! Keine Geringere als die famose Frieda Lewin beehrte Fanny und Alina mit ihrer Gegenwart. Autorin, Mutter und Wortakrobatin – sie brachte nicht nur Geschichten von Geburtswundern, Frühchen-Drama und derber Hornhaut mit, sondern auch das glanzvolle Geheimnis ihres neuen Werkes Mom Life Balance. Es wurde gelacht, gestöhnt, gegruselt (Stichwort: „Hufe-Füße“) und getröstet. Zwischen Kolostrum-Spritzen, Kinderparty im Bauch und Kitaschwärmereien wagten wir uns an die wirklich schweren Themen: Geburtstrauma, Scham, Therapie und die Frage, ob man jemals „bereit“ für ein Kind ist. Das Ergebnis: herrlich ehrlicher Real Talk, durchzogen von goldenen Lachanfällen und der beruhigenden Erkenntnis, dass keine Mutter je allein mit ihren Sorgen ist. Ein Fest für alle, die schon einmal dachten: „Verdammt, ich hab doch gar keine Ahnung.“ Willkommen im Club, Darling. Du bist schwanger und fühlst dich gerade überfordert, unsicher oder allein?

Today I am sitting down with life long stand up comedian Carole Montgomery. Carole is a classic in show biz, a Brooklynite through and through, she has performed all over the United States, was on the road, in L.A., in Las Vegas. Being a stand up comedian has been her fulltime job. Until she turned 50.Her environment signaled her silently but clearly, that her time is done, over, chapter closed. She shifted and worked as a producer, comedy teacher, and writer to stay connected in the business.At 59 she had a break through idea:  Funny Women of A Certain Age. A stand up comedy show featuring older comedian women. With a talent pool of about 100 artists, Carole has been producing shows for the past ten years, TV channel SHOWTIME made three Comedy Specials with Funny Women of A Certain Age.Listen to a conversation about ageism, about how funny never gets old, and about facing the truth. Carole loves playing for younger audiences, she is not afraid, as they look at her as though she's Yoda. ####On another note: I am so proud and excited to announce that SHIFT HAPPENS' Season 5 is supported by London based jewellery brand Tilly Sveaas.

As I was reflecting on my experience, there was one thing that stood out. It wasn't that we had an amazing meal, it was that every single tiny detail was amazing! It made me think about our industry, and where salons are missing the mark. In this episode, I recount my time at Alinea and discuss ways we can create the same sort of experience at our salon.

Rachel Cook Northway shares with me her personal journey to clean beauty. Her childhood interest in skincare was already influenced by her mother's beauty routine. After an early career in the nonprofit sector, Rachel transitioned into the clean beauty industry and worked with various brands and retailers. And built her expertise and passion.When she was pregnant with her second child, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. This experience propelled her to launch her own business post-remission. Rachel is helping women (and men) to navigate and personalise the clean beauty space.Her beauty philosophy and recommendations are simple but efficient: focus on lips, eyes and underarms as key areas for clean product adoption. She emphasizes efficacy and plant-based alternatives in clean beauty. And has a range of brands that she recommends and curates for individual needs.Rachel also advocates for occasional breaks from deodorant use, especially for breast cancer survivors.Her daily rituals for her personal wellness and recovery are morning prayers, co-sleeping with her youngest child, intermittend fasting and a plant-basesd diet. And she is avid in her workout routine on 6 times per week.For her business she is planning on expanding into her own studio space to receive clients in person. She also feels that it is important to refine the language clean beauty, to emphasize wellness over appearance standards. To learn more about my guest Rachel Cook Northway, please visit her social media pages:Instagram: @thenorthwayeditWebsite: The Northway EditTo learn more about SHIFT HAPPENS, click here To learn more about Claudia's business Curated Conversations and her Salons in New York, Zurich and Berlin, click hereYou can also connect with Claudia on Instagram @shifthappens.podcast and LinkedIn at ClaudiaMahlerNYCThis podcast is created, produced and hosted by Claudia Mahler.Social Media support Magdalena Reckendrees

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITA late-night town hall for Alabama Senate candidate Jared Hudson sparked reflection on the complexities of modern politics. Hudson, a Navy SEAL who founded an organization rescuing trafficked children, left me with mixed emotions about his candidacy. While his service background is impressive, his answers during Q&A revealed the familiar political dance of "yes, but..." particularly on immigration enforcement—supporting deportation in principle while suggesting leniency for established immigrant families.This political examination sits alongside a personal mystery: the sudden, overnight disappearance of a nail salon I'd frequented for six years. The owners—a married couple with young children—sent a quick text about rent increases and vanished completely by the next day. Their hasty departure raises questions about potential immigration concerns that mirror our national conversation about enforcement and human impact.Breaking news from New York City further complicated the evening, as details emerged about a tragic shooting at a Park Avenue skyscraper. The shooter left writings blaming the NFL for neurological issues, requesting posthumous brain examination. What caught my attention, however, was Mayor Eric Adams' specific identification of the fallen officer as "an immigrant from Bangladesh"—language that prompts questions about how we define American identity and citizenship, especially against the backdrop of nationwide police staffing challenges.These seemingly disconnected events—a Senate campaign, a vanished business, and a tragic shooting—weave together the complex tapestry of American life in 2023. They remind us that politics is never just abstract policy but involves real people with families, livelihoods, and lives at stake. What TV theme song best captures the complicated emotions of these times? Perhaps that's a question worth pondering as we navigate our increasingly complex world.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!
