In this special episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta sits down with beauty industry legend Rea Ann Silva—the woman behind the iconic Beautyblender. Before the teardrop sponge became a global staple, Rea Ann was transforming faces behind the scenes on the set of Girlfriends, one of the first shows shot in high-definition. Faced with the need for flawless, undetectable makeup in this new visual era, she improvised a tool that would go on to change the beauty world.What started as a hand-cut sponge born from necessity soon evolved into a cult-favorite product that democratized makeup application. Rea Ann shares how Beautyblender took the intimidation out of brushes and empowered everyday consumers to master their base. But the sponge is just the beginning—her brand also pioneered products like the Blendercleanser and Surface palette, all designed through the lens of a working artist solving real-world problems.The conversation dives into deeper themes, too—from the rise (and downside) of dupe culture to why innovation still matters. Rea Ann also reflects on launching the Bounce foundation line, noting how inclusivity was always embedded in her brand's DNA long before it became industry standard.This episode is a celebration of creativity, function, and resilience in the face of a copycat culture. Tune in to hear the story of how one makeup artist's “I wish I had” moment became a category-defining brand with a legacy that's still evolvingCHAPTERS:(0:00) Introduction to Rea Ann Silva and Beautblender(1:01) Rea Ann's Background as a Makeup Artist(3:04) The Birth of Beautyblender on Set(5:00) The Development of Blender Cleanser(7:11) Realizing Beautyblender's Potential for the Mass Market(10:03) Beautyblender as a Game Changer in Makeup Application(13:30) The Impact of Beautyblender on Consumers and Retailers(16:03) The Creation of Foundation to Complement Beautyblender(21:16) Innovation and Product Design PhilosophyTo learn more about Beautyblender, visit their website and social media.Please fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

Today's guest is Mark Toro, Chief Vision Officer @ Toro Development Co, based in Atlanta, GA.   Mark unpacks the philosophy, economics, and human-centered detail behind some of the most successful mixed-use developments in the country. We talk through his journey from building suburban power centers to pioneering immersive experiences like Avalon, Colony Square, and the upcoming Medley.  Mark shares how the 2008 financial crisis sparked his rethinking of real estate as a service business rather than just a physical asset—and how ideas like hospitality, branding, and community integration became central to his playbook.  This episode is packed with specific examples, war stories, and lessons on what it really takes to develop places people never want to leave. We discuss: - Why demographics and household income drive everything in site selection - How do vertically integrated, mixed-use developments function financially and operationally - The importance of patios, music, and concierge-level service in creating “third places” - Why tenant selection is both science and art—and what betting on the right jockey really means - How a bottle of tequila became a company tradition symbolizing intentionality and pride in execution Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:03:43) - Mark's career and background (00:08:03) - The gutted middle in retail (00:09:38) - Site selection criteria for a “fortress” (00:18:45) - Seamless integration (00:26:27) - The art of pitching tenants (00:31:42) - Mark's approach to “opening” dates (00:33:28) - Betting the farm on tenants (00:35:46) - Office (00:40:18) - Parking strategies (00:41:51) - Hospitality vs. real estate (00:45:23) - Being Disney-esque (00:49:22) - Low-hanging fruit that properties can implement today (00:54:17) - Marketing funds (00:57:55) - Equity partners (00:58:56) - Why isn't this model scalable?

Welcome to a Brain Wrinkling Wednesday with Fr. Tom Koys.  Today Father Koys wrinkles our brain with a discussion of the Seamless Garment Analogy applied to the moral issues of today.  Is this a proper use of the analogy?  Can we apply weights to the issues of the day as a way to apply a hierarchy to the moral issues we confront today?  He also looks at Protestant ordination and the consideration that it is not biblical based as he identifies ways the ordination of a Protestant Pastor can come about. He invites you to join the St. James Parish in Lemont for a speaker led presentation on the Dobbs Decision, please see their website for details.  St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish

Forget everything you think you know about AI timelines. The world's top AI labs now say AGI—artificial intelligence that surpasses humans at all tasks—is 5 years away, not 50. ChatGPT's 800 million users was just the beginning. When AI can teach better than any professor, diagnose better than any doctor, and code better than any developer, what happens to human work? To education? To you? This isn't futurism—it's a timeline shock that's sending universities into crisis mode.

Succession only looks seamless from the outside. Yakub Hazzard shares what it really took to step into the chair role at Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP, and why leadership transitions require more than just good timing.   How do you plan for change without disrupting what already works? Yakub walks through the nearly two-year succession planning process that prepared him to take over as chair, from building internal alignment to choosing the right leadership partner. He shares how the firm prioritized culture over convenience, and why that made all the difference.   Yakub also reflects on his journey from paralegal to partner, with a few unexpected stops along the way. Raised in a household of professional athletes, he learned early what discipline looks like up close. Time at NBCUniversal gave him a new perspective on what clients actually need from their lawyers, something he carries into every interaction today.   The episode also covers how the firm is growing with intention, where entertainment law is headed, and how AI is already reshaping the conversation.

Jon Kol, founder of Hyperlane, joins Sam Kamani to dive deep into one of crypto's biggest challenges—interoperability. From his days at Morgan Stanley to building Hyperlane, Jon shares how they're enabling any chain to communicate with any other through permissionless, modular frameworks. He explains why monolithic architectures can't scale, how modular security flips the bridge security model, and why interchain accounts will redefine how users interact with Web3. If you're building across chains, this episode is a must-listen.Key Timestamps[00:00:00] Introduction: Sam introduces Jon Kol and the mission of Hyperlane—interoperability for every chain.[00:01:00] Early Crypto Days: Jon shares his Bitcoin and Ethereum rabbit hole moment at Morgan Stanley.[00:03:00] From Wall Street to Web3: Why he left traditional finance to help rebuild the internet of value.[00:06:00] Why Hyperlane: The realization that one chain can't serve global finance—and the need for scalable communication.[00:08:00] Building Blocks: The philosophy behind Hyperlane and how it differs from LayerZero, Cosmos, etc.[00:10:00] Modular Interoperability: Any chain, any VM—Hyperlane can connect them all.[00:12:00] Security First: How Hyperlane's modular security avoids the “one breach risks all” trap.[00:14:00] Defense in Depth: Let developers stack their own security modules and future-proof integrations.[00:18:00] Use Cases: From DeFi bridges to governance, interchain AMMs, and yield routing via Superform.[00:22:00] Interchain Accounts: Why the future is one wallet, infinite access—regardless of chain or VM.[00:26:00] The Stablecoin Pain Point: Fragmentation across chains and the case for gasless, one-click stablecoin transfers.[00:30:00] Lessons Learned: What Jon would do differently—don't wait for others, build use cases in-house.[00:34:00] 2025 Vision: Interoperability becomes invisible—users stay on one chain, access anything cross-chain.[00:36:00] The Ask: Hyperlane is hiring builders who want to fix fragmentation and unlock Web3's next layer.Connecthttps://hyperlane.xyz/https://x.com/hyperlanehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-kol-4bb37a9b/https://x.com/thepalenimbusDisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

Since the turn of the year, Gary and Hannah have been travelling across South East Asia and worldwide, speaking at various travel conferences. So, this week, we've compiled a long list of the most ubiquitous concepts, words and phrases we've encountered on stage and in the venue break-out spaces and receptions. We discuss the current contexts around popular buzzwords such as Authentic Experiences, Hyper-Personalisation, Seamless Trips and Frictionless Travel. We wonder where the Visa-Free Access debate goes next, and applaud the greater integration of Muslim Tourism themes into travel conference planning. Of course, we can't leave out Over-tourism, Agentic AI, Gen Zs, Digital Arrival Cards and Chatbots, and we make a forecast about how Trump Tariffs will be discussed in a travel context across the rest of 2025. Plus, what happened to Super Apps, the Metaverse and our most disliked phrase "Owning the Customer"?

Are companies pursuing frictionless experiences at the expense of truly understanding what problems they're solving?Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as they talk with Mehdi Rizvi, a digital transformation expert who began his career in operations and supply chain before pivoting to customer experience. Mehdi reveals eye-opening insights about the disconnect between departments in large organizations, where siloed KPIs create fractured customer journeys—like a luxury retailer who successfully drives traffic to their website and store but fails to provide basic product specification sheets when customers are ready to buy a $30,000 item. He challenges the common approach to AI adoption, explaining that most companies haven't even mastered basic analytics or data warehousing but are blindly applying AI without clear use cases. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes that creating a truly frictionless experience requires meticulous attention to operational details and understanding the end-to-end customer journey.Main Takeaways from this episode:Start with foundations — Before implementing technology solutions, thoroughly map your current processes, understand customer journeys, and identify real problems rather than pursuing shiny objects.Connect the dots — Break down silos by ensuring people, processes, and technology work together across departments, as frictionless experiences cannot be created within isolated teams.Make simplicity intentional — Simple customer experiences like Amazon's two-click returns don't happen by accident; they result from intensive work to map and optimize every touchpoint, especially when things go wrong.Want more tips and strategies to create frictionless user experiences?

In this episode, we tackle a common challenge from teachers: how to incorporate social-emotional learning into an already packed curriculum. Marie Goulet, LCSW, shares her "Yes, and" approach - acknowledging that while dedicated SEL sessions are valuable, teachers are already implementing these skills throughout their day. Marie offers practical, no-cost strategies that take just 1-2 minutes, including the "five, four, three, two, one" sensory grounding technique, proper breathing methods, somatic movement exercises, and bilateral movements that engage the brain differently. She explains the hand model of the brain to understand emotional regulation and the concept of "flipping your lid" in child-friendly terms. Marie emphasizes the power of visual supports as permanent reminders that work for all age groups and discusses how to help kids identify which regulation strategies work best for them. The episode concludes with Marie's powerful mantras for building resilience, including "it's okay to be uncomfortable" and focusing on the "size of the problem."About Marie Goulet:Marie is an LCSW who works as the lead social worker for New Lenox School District #122, as well as the building social worker for Oakview Intermediate School.
