Before she became Lady London, Zaire Stewart was a fly toddler exploring New York City's unique beauty culture. At just three years old, she was being carted to Dominican hair salons, getting her hair washed and pressed by the same women she still visits today. Her mother kept her dapper in DKNY and Moschino as they traveled between the Bronx and New Jersey. Greatly influenced by the beauty and brilliance of the women in her family, an aunt with an interest in global politics and anti-apartheid messaging recommended her name; it's no wonder Lady London is such a cultural force. In 2018, Lady London developed an interest in music, built on a foundational love of literature from childhood to college. Lady London joined Naked Beauty to talk about how she discovered she had presence and how she wielded it into a nearly decade-long career and fanbase of more than a million people.During our conversation, we talked about how she learned to maintain her composure as a public figure and how her confidence can't be shaken by industry execs or online trolls. Lady London shares that her confidence was well earned, as it took her some time to accept that she could be beautiful and smart without downplaying one or the other. We get some tips on how to model that self-assurance during the Show & Tell portion of the show, when Lady London demonstrates how not to be baited. Of course, we learn all about her beauty rituals, tips, and favorite perfumes. We got other advice from Lady London, including how she mentors women coming into the industry behind her, and what she's learned from the hip-hop legend pouring into her. Lady London is a creative force, poet, rapper, executive producer, mentor, and hobby enthusiast. As we learn in this interview, with Lady London, there is always more than meets the eye.Tune in as we discuss:(0:00) Welcome Lady London(2:20) Growing Up Nerdy In The Bronx and New Jersey(3:25) Her Early Style Icons(4:20) New York Beauty Culture(6:45) Growing Into Beauty(8:55) Discovering That She Had Presence(12:35) Show & Tell: Tips For Not Being Baited(20:10) Her Beauty Routine(21:15) Getting Protein As A Pescatarian(24:30) Makeup Routine(26:20) Hair Care & Health(31:15) Rejecting Male Perspectives On Beauty(34:45) Female Rap Friendships(36:25) Her Approach To Mentorship(38:20) Committing To Perseverance(42:30) Self-Care Practices(44:45) What's On The Horizon(45:20) When Lady London Feels The Most BeautifulShop K18 Future IQ at Sephora or get 10% off your first purchase at K18hair.com with code BROOKE.Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on AppleJoin the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanetThanks for all the love and support.

People decide whether to trust you before they've had time to fully evaluate your expertise. Before they process your words, they're reading your energy, pace, posture, eye contact, and certainty. The question is: Does the way you show up match the brilliance you bring? In this milestone 200th episode, I'm sharing seven practical ways to build trust quickly, strengthen your credibility, and influence the room with Powerhouse Presence™. 1. The Handshake Moment: Trust Starts Before Your Content Does People experience you before they process what you're saying. Your posture, facial expression, eye contact, pace, and energy are already communicating a message. Before your next high-stakes conversation, ask yourself: How do I want to be experienced in this room? Choose three words, such as calm, credible, clear, and let those guide how you show up. 2. Calm Certainty Builds Credibility Powerhouse Presence™ isn't about being the loudest or most charismatic person in the room. It's about communicating: I belong here. I know what I bring. And I don't need to prove it. Slow your pace. Finish your sentences. Let your words land. Confidence doesn't rush. 3. Your First Words Matter Don't waste your opening warming up, qualifying your opinion, or giving unnecessary backstory. Instead of: “I've been thinking about this, and I'm not sure everyone will agree, but…” Try: “Here's what I recommend.” Use BLUF: Bottom Line Up Front. Lead with what matters most. 4. Remove the Language That Leaks Authority Pay attention to words and phrases that unintentionally weaken your message: just, sorry, I think, maybe, hopefully, or does that make sense? You don't have to become aggressive or overly direct. The goal is to communicate with greater clarity and certainty. Before you speak, ask: Am I softening this because it needs to be softened, or because I'm uncomfortable owning it? 5. Stand Out by Being Concise Over-explaining can come from wanting to prove your credibility. Ironically, it can have the opposite effect. Make your point. Give the necessary context. Then stop. Challenge yourself to cut the runway and eliminate the first 20–30% of what you would normally say. The more important your point, the less you should bury it. 6. Make Sure Your Presence Matches Your Brilliance You can be exceptionally talented and still have a gap between what you know and how others experience you. I call this the Credibility Gap: the distance between the expertise you possess and the confidence, clarity, and authority others experience from you. Your goal isn't to become someone else. It's to make sure the room can see the value that's already there. 7. Build Trust Through Consistency Powerhouse Presence™ isn't something you turn on for the big presentation or board meeting. Trust is built in the everyday moments: keeping your word, being prepared, communicating clearly, handling pressure well, and saying what needs to be said. People trust leaders when they know what they can count on from them.   Your Powerhouse Challenge This week, don't try to be more impressive. Be more intentional. Speak sooner. Say less. Slow down. Trust your own voice. Because when your presence matches your brilliance, you don't have to fight to command the room. People feel it.

My stomach in my throat, I was unable to get the words out (in spite of being in a senior leadership role).  Then, I heard my boss shut down the meeting. My heart sank. I was mortified. She pulled me aside and said, "You didn't trust your gut. You could've tabled the meeting like I did." Why didn't that option occur to me in the moment? Why did I feel like I needed permission? That was the day I set out to change. I began a journey of personal growth to discover the root of the problem. Once I did, I wanted every woman to experience that same freedom. I'm now on a mission to silence self-doubt in 10 million women in 10 years by giving them simple strategies to speak up and ask for what they want in the boardroom and beyond, resulting in more clients, job promotions, and negotiation wins. Companies like NASA, Netflix, Google, and Sephora have been propelled toward more effective communication skills through my signature framework, The Confidence Cocktail™. This is your invitation to step into your most confident self so you can catapult your career! Karen Laos, Communication Expert and Confidence Cultivator, leverages 25 years in the boardroom and speaking on the world's most coveted stages such as Google and NASA to transform missed opportunities into wins. She is fiercely committed to her mission of eradicating self-doubt in 10 million women by giving them practical strategies to ask for what they want in the boardroom and beyond.

Amy’s gushing about a book that might be the best read of the year, no spoilers, just pure obsession. Then we dig into some research-backed data on family dinners and why something as simple as eating together regularly can lower kids' aggression, reduce disordered eating, and even boost grades and self-esteem. We also get into a genuinely useful parenting hack for avoiding yes/no questions that invite pushback (and yes, we tested if it works on spouses too), plus Quiet Hours at Sephora, a sensory-friendly shopping option way more people than you'd expect could benefit from. And we share an incredibly moving email from a listener nominating her local teacher, whose classroom was damaged in recent flooding but who's kept showing up for her students anyway. We're kicking off something special with Hasbro over the next several weeks to help honor her and teachers like her. Hasbro is sponsoring Feeling Things for 8 weeks, celebrating back to school by getting families around the table with games again. Even better: they're helping us honor amazing teachers! Know one?

In this episode, I sat down with Karen Young, founder of OUI the People, a fine fragrance and body care brand born out of her own struggle with razor burn and ingrown hairs. Karen walks us through her path from fashion, where she interned at Dolce and Gabbana, to becoming an executive at Estee Lauder, to eventually building a beauty brand now sold in Sephora.But Karen's story starts before OUI the People, with a lifestyle and home goods brand called Hammocks and High T that she built and ultimately had to close. We talk about the hard lessons on margins and capital that came out of that experience, the unexpected subway encounter that led to her job at Estee Lauder, and how she used her years inside a major beauty conglomerate to build her own brand from the ground up.Karen also gets honest about the financial rollercoaster of raising venture capital, scaling a team, and chasing growth without profitability for years, and what finally shifted this year. We close things out with her thoughts on consumer psychology, pricing a premium product, and her advice for women weighing whether to leave a steady paycheck for their side hustle.Main TakeawaysWhy closing a business is not failure, but tuition in a school of hard knocks that teaches you margins, capital, and scale.How to price a premium product by studying who your customer already trusts enough to spend on, not just what they say they need.Why visibility does not equal revenue, and how chasing growth without watching profitability can quietly sink a business.How building a trusted circle of fellow founders can matter more than any book when the entrepreneurial journey gets lonely.Highlights Include00:20 - How a lifelong struggle with razor burn and ingrown hairs on melanated skin became the idea behind OUI the People05:49 - Why Karen closed her first business, a lifestyle and home goods brand called Hammocks and High T11:19 - Learning the difference between spotting a market gap and finding real money inside of it16:00 - The subway encounter that led to Karen's job offer at Estee Lauder25:37 - What Karen absorbed from watching a major beauty conglomerate acquire and scale brands from the inside34:15 - The origins of OUI the People, which started as a direct to consumer razor brand called We Shave41:14 - How Karen priced her first razor at seventy five dollars, then raised it to eighty five to ninety, by studying who was already buying La Mer43:49 - Why Karen called manufacturers in the UK, Germany, and Japan before choosing a small German razor maker50:39 - How the brand expanded from razors into body care, then into Sephora in 2019, then a full fragrance launch in 202357:57 - The honest truth about raising venture capital, scaling a team, and finally hitting profitability this year1:12:19 - Lightning round: her go to founder resource, the mentor she admires, her non negotiable evening ritual, and her advice for side hustlersLinks Mentioned in This EpisodeShop OUI the People: ouithepeople.comSocial Mediaouithepeople.comOUI the People on Instagram: @ouithepeople https://www.instagram.com/ouithepeople/ OUI The People TikTok: @ouithepeople https://www.tiktok.com/@ouithepeople Hosted on Acast.

I sat down with Thomas Smith, founder of skinatwork.com. Here are 3 takeaways. 1. Simple is a strategy. Nearly 70% of Thomas's customers buy a full kit on the first visit. Simplicity is doing the hard work so your customer doesn't have to. 2. Know your numbers. Acquisition cost. Lifetime value. Repeat rate. Chase one metric and wonder why you're losing. 3. Build for a need, not a moment. Thomas launched during the pandemic , when everyone said don't. He did it anyway because the customer pain was real. That's the only reason that matters.   --- In Thomas Smith's words: I've been in skincare for 30 amazing years working for some of the most exciting brands and retailers in beauty: on the sales floor, in the spa, as a buyer, developer, marketer, entrepreneur and lover of all things skin. I spent a decade in NYC at Saks and Sephora, a decade in Colorado creating formulas for dry, sensitive skin at my own stores called MELT and a decade in LA marketing or developing products for Murad, Meaningful Beauty and Anastasia Beverly Hills, to name a few. My mom loves to tell people that I started as a cosmetics stock boy in Saks Denver, I prefer to say that I didn't choose skincare, it chose me. Over the years, I have watched as skincare has gotten increasingly complicated. So many steps, so many new products and so much time, money, brain space and energy spent trying to decode it all. Trust me, the amount of choice overwhelms me, too! Whenever I visit family or friends, they always ask for my advice on what to buy, when to use, how to use and in what combinations and it got me to thinking… how could I create the simplest, and I mean THE SIMPLEST, most efficacious skincare system possible for my mom, my sister, all of my peeps (including myself!) for skin of all ages, stages and concerns? That's how SKIN AT WORK was born. SKIN AT WORK is an obsessively streamlined, ultra concentrated, ALL-IN-ONE-STEP skincare system of clinically tested, gently powerful, hyper-tasking hero formulas that give your skin everything it needs (over 14 ingredients at efficacious levels) to thrive at its healthiest, deliver head-turning wow and the freedom to spend less time doing steps in the mirror and more time squeezing the juice out of life."

This week, Rachel is clocking five stories that seem completely unrelated: backlash surrounding Mikayla Nogueira's POV Beauty heading to Sephora, Alix Earle making the jump from TikTok to Netflix, Disney+ bringing TikTok creators onto its platform, a proposed New York bill that would give shoppers a discount for using self-checkout, and the staggering success of Hailey Bieber's Rhode.But underneath all five is the same question:Who decides what something is worth?From celebrity and status to convenience, attention and the products we buy, value isn't always inherent. Often, it's something we collectively assign - and eventually forget we assigned in the first place.Come for the gossip. Stay for the pattern.This week on Healing Is Hilarious: The Value Shift.

In this episode, I'm diving into a game-changing strategy for anyone who is feeling stuck trying to sell their signature offers. If you've been constantly creating low ticket offers or freebies but feel like you're talking to the wrong people, or you're watching low ticket buyers and freebie downloaders never transition into your signature spaces, this one is for you. I'm flipping the script on what you've been taught about freebies and lower ticket offers and showing you how to turn them into powerful, profitable gateways to your signature programs. I share exactly why I stopped creating freebies in my own business, the Sephora sample analogy that will change how you think about every low ticket offer you build, and the three mistakes most entrepreneurs make when structuring their offer ecosystem. I walk you through how to audit your current offers, create micro transformations that give your dream client an unforgettable taste of your work, and refine your messaging so it speaks to every phase of your ideal client's evolution. If you've been working harder for smaller results, this episode will completely transform how you structure your offers, and more importantly, how you generate consistent revenue without burning out.

Respect isn't something your title automatically earns. It's something people decide through every interaction they have with you. In this episode, Karen shares seven practical communication habits that help you command respect, build credibility, and strengthen your executive presence, without changing who you are. In this episode, we cover: 1. Speak First Don't wait until everyone else has shared their opinion. Contributing early positions you as someone who helps shape the conversation rather than simply reacting to it. 2. Stop Over-Explaining Lengthy explanations often sound like you're seeking permission. Learn how to state your recommendations with confidence and let your expertise speak for itself. 3. Be Clear Before You're Clever Lead with the bottom line first. Clear, concise communication earns trust and helps people make decisions faster. 4. Hold Your Boundaries Respect grows when your words and actions align. Learn how healthy boundaries reinforce your priorities and demonstrate self-respect. 5. Let Silence Do Its Job Confident leaders don't feel the need to fill every pause. Discover why a few seconds of silence can increase your influence in conversations. 6. Make Your Words Match Your Presence Your body language often communicates before your first sentence. Learn how calm, intentional presence reinforces confidence and credibility. 7. Keep Your Word Nothing builds respect faster than consistency. Following through on commitments and communicating early when plans change creates lasting trust.

My stomach in my throat, I was unable to get the words out (in spite of being in a senior leadership role).  Then, I heard my boss shut down the meeting. My heart sank. I was mortified. She pulled me aside and said, "You didn't trust your gut. You could've tabled the meeting like I did." Why didn't that option occur to me in the moment? Why did I feel like I needed permission? That was the day I set out to change. I began a journey of personal growth to discover the root of the problem. Once I did, I wanted every woman to experience that same freedom. I'm now on a mission to silence self-doubt in 10 million women in 10 years by giving them simple strategies to speak up and ask for what they want in the boardroom and beyond, resulting in more clients, job promotions, and negotiation wins.

Salon retail can be a tough nut to crack. Salon products available to clients from big retailers at just a few taps on a phone. Inovshop's interactive digital displays give stylists a leg up by sparking guests' curiosity and providing education right in the salon, increasing sales. And with AI, these tools are becoming ever-more customizable to your individual customers.  In this episode, Summ it Up executive producer Tim Fisk sits down with Martin Spritzer of Inovshop USA to unpack the evolving world of salon retail. They explore how digital displays, user-generated content, AI-driven personalization, and interactive technology are reshaping the in-salon shopping experience — and why salons that ignore these trends risk losing revenue to big-box retailers like Ulta and Sephora.

"האינטרסנטים", הפודקאסט הכלכלי היומי של TheMarker, עם איתן אבריאל וסמי פרץ. (06:03) מה באמת קורה בהייטק? האם המגמה המרכזית היא פיטורים וצמצומים בגלל הבינה המלאכותית, או שמול כל מפוטר נפתחת משרה חדשה אחרת, למשל בדיפנס-טק ובחברות הביטחוניות? ומה קורה עם הג'וניורים - יש או אין להם עבודה? נתונים חדשים בסקר של רשות החדשנות וחברת צבירן מראים שחברות תוכנה מסורתיות אכן מפטרות, אך ענפי טק אחרים דווקא מגייסים עובדים בקצב מהיר. מנכ"ל רשות החדשנות, דרור בין, יצטרף אלינו כדי להציג את התמונה המלאה. (19:15) אחת השאלות המורכבות ביותר עבור ישראלים שעברו לחו"ל, או מתכננים רילוקיישן, היא סוגיית המיסוי: איך ואילו מיסים ימשיכו לשלם בישראל, החל ממס הכנסה ועד ביטוח לאומי ומס בריאות. ברשות המסים מתכננים כעת שינויים דרמטיים, ובהם ביטול מבחן "מרכז החיים", אך עדיין לא ברור איזה מנגנון יחליף אותו. רו"ח אייל סנדו, שותף באלמקייס פתרונות מיסוי ולשעבר בכיר ברשות המסים, יעשה לנו סדר בבלגן. (35:50) ולסיום: הודעות ליחסי ציבור שלא בדיוק אומרות את כל האמת. לאחר שדווח בתקשורת על הגעתה כביכול של רשת מוצרי הטיפוח "ספורה" לישראל, ל-TheMarker נודע כי ההסכם עם היבואנית הוא עסקה נקודתית בלבד, ולא זיכיון רשמי. כתבת הקמעונות שלנו, ירדן בן גל הירשהורן, תספר על החשיפה. ספורה התייחסות הרשמית בעברית:"גלאם 42 תציע מבחר ממוצרי ספורה קולקשיין בחנויותיה. המותג ספורה קולקשיין חתם על הסכם מכירה זמני עם גלאם 42. מבחר של מוצרי ספורה קולקשיין מקוריים יהיה זמין בקרוב בחנויות נבחרות של גלאם 42. עם זאת, ברצוננו להבהיר כי לרשת ספורה אין תוכניות לפתוח חנויות בישראל." התייחסות גלאם 42:"גלאם 42 שמחה לבשר באופן רשמי על ההסכם עם Sephora Collection, במסגרתו יגיע לישראל מבחר ממוצרי המותג. למען הסר ספק, כלל מוצרי Sephora Collection שיוצעו בגלאם 42 ובפופ אפים בקניוני עזריאלי הם מוצרים מקוריים, הנרכשים ישירות מ-Sephora Collection בצרפת ומגיעים לישראל במסגרת ההסכם שנחתם בין הצדדים. לא מדובר במוצרי עודפים, במוצרי אאוטלט או במלאי ממקורות חיצוניים. ההסכם מאפשר לגלאם 42 להציע בישראל מבחר ממוצרי Sephora Collection, כאשר מגוון המוצרים עשוי להתרחב בהמשך בהתאם להחלטתה ולשיקול דעתה של Sephora Collection.חשוב להבהיר כי גלאם 42 היא רשת ביוטי ישראלית עצמאית ואינה רשת Sephora, והפעילות אינה מהווה פתיחת חנויות Sephora בישראל.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Olive Young is more than Korea’s biggest beauty retailer. It is also a trend forecaster, data company, omnichannel platform and incubator for emerging K-Beauty brands. In Part 2 of this special, Host Lauren Lee explores how Olive Young connects its physical stores, online platform, rapid delivery and live commerce to create a seamless discovery-led shopping experience. She also examines how its loyalty programme, consumer data and merchandising capabilities help the company identify trends and scale Korean beauty brands. Plus, she looks at the more complicated side of Olive Young’s rise, including regulatory scrutiny over its supplier practices and the lawsuit involving a lifting mask sold under one of its in-house brands. Finally, she breaks down Olive Young’s international expansion strategy, what went wrong with the launch of its dedicated US platform, the competition it faces from Amazon, Sephora and Ulta, and whether its platform model could support a successful return to China.

In this episode of Tank Talks, host Matt Cohen sits down with Wayne Pommen, Chief Revenue Officer at Affirm and founder of PayBright, Canada's first e-commerce buy now, pay later platform. Wayne shares his unlikely journey from competitive rowing, including the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race, to a PhD in international relations, Bain Consulting, and private equity at TorQuest, where a failed deal set him on the path to building a fintech unicorn.Wayne pulls back the curtain on PayBright's early days, from spinning out a tiny 5-person division called HealthSmart Financial Services to pivoting into e-commerce and landing Casper and Endy as launch partners.

Becca pops back on to give the gang a real-time update from the NICU, where baby Meyer is stable and making steady progress but still has to ace her final test: 16 bottles in a row. Becca gets honest about the highs and lows of it all — finding her daily "glimmers" (an underrated Jimmy John's sub, a newly perfected Starbucks order), making herself a Babylist registry, a raw mama-bear moment that left her wrestling with guilt, and how Zach and big brother Ford are holding up. Keltie and Jac hold space for her to feel the hard parts, drop the strong act for a minute, and soak up all the love pouring in from the Lady Gang community.Thank you for supporting our sponsors!Arya: Get $10 off your first month at https://GetArya.com/LADYGANG Clean Simple Eats: Shop the best tasting protein powders at https://CleanSimpleEats.comK18: Need a better shampoo?

Send us Fan MailContent creator Marjan Tabibzada joins Skin Anarchy to talk about building a career with no blueprint: her start at the MAC counter, representing brown and Middle Eastern women in beauty and fashion, surviving online hate, vetting brand deals honestly, and the Times Square campaign that made a childhood dream real.Who is Marjan Tabibzada? A creator who built a following representing women who rarely saw themselves online. "There's so many of us out there."How did she get started in content creation? Posting on the side while at Cal State Northridge and the MAC counter. "I really felt like I was doing a bajillion different things." TikTok took off, and she chose creation over law school.What did she learn at MAC Cosmetics? That inclusivity could be a foundation. "Every shade of the foundation that you can" imagine was there.How do you build a following with no blueprint? Relentless trial and error. "There will be hundreds of my videos that have flopped... and you have to pick your butt back up and keep creating."How does she keep content relatable across cultures? By reworking revealing trends into modest looks. "We are the brown girls where we can't really show... so let's make this a little bit more modest."How does she handle online hate and cancel culture? By refusing to let it take root. "If you just allow those comments to take over, you're going to go into such a dark place that getting out is going to be very difficult."Where is influencer marketing headed? Creators replacing traditional ads. "People trust the influencers, and when you relate to a content creator, it brings such a powerful take on why brands should work with you."How does she vet brand deals? Authenticity first. "Would I genuinely recommend this if there wasn't a campaign attached to it?" She has refused deals that asked her to lie about results.Does becoming an influencer make you rich? Not how people assume. "Just because you make content does not mean you're gonna be rich." Her first brand deal paid about a thousand dollars.Why do content creators need a plan B? Platforms are not permanent. "You need a plan B." She kept her degree and built across Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, and more.What advice does she have for aspiring creators? Start before you feel ready.

Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver dive deep into the real numbers behind WWE's recent live event slump. The duo breaks down SummerSlam's two night ticket sales and explores what it actually takes for Superstars to stay sharp in an era without constant house shows. The conversation heats up as Nash responds directly to The Undertaker's recent criticism of the infamous MSG Curtain Call, offering a blunt perspective on the iconic moment that changed professional wrestling forever. Beyond the squared circle, the discussion shifts to the grueling realities of constant travel and the utter lack of modern airport etiquette. The hosts also explore the chaotic global political landscape, dissecting current US military production capabilities and alarming missile shortages. From military readiness to foreign policy blunders, the episode offers a completely unfiltered take on the modern geopolitical quagmire.

Many people don't miss out on opportunities because they aren't qualified, they miss them because they don't ask effectively. In this episode, you'll learn how to strengthen every request you make. In this episode you'll get five tips: Be discerning, not pushy. Confidence isn't demanding or entitled. It's knowing when an ask is appropriate, respecting the other person's perspective, and being willing to hear either yes or no with grace. Discernment is what separates confidence from pressure. Don't bury the ask. Stop spending minutes explaining the backstory before you get to what you actually want. Lead with the request, then provide context if it's needed. Don't negotiate against yourself. State your request with confidence instead of discounting yourself before the other person has even responded. Don't confuse hints with requests. Hoping someone picks up on subtle cues isn't the same as asking. Be clear and specific about what you need. Don't let fear choose your words. Replace hesitant language like "I was wondering if maybe..." with clear, confident communication that reflects your value. The biggest opportunities often belong to the people who are willing to ask clearly, confidently, and respectfully. Your next "yes" may be waiting on your next ask.   Write a review If you enjoy this podcast, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

My stomach in my throat, I was unable to get the words out (in spite of being in a senior leadership role).  Then, I heard my boss shut down the meeting. My heart sank. I was mortified. She pulled me aside and said, "You didn't trust your gut. You could've tabled the meeting like I did." Why didn't that option occur to me in the moment? Why did I feel like I needed permission? That was the day I set out to change. I began a journey of personal growth to discover the root of the problem. Once I did, I wanted every woman to experience that same freedom. I'm now on a mission to silence self-doubt in 10 million women in 10 years by giving them simple strategies to speak up and ask for what they want in the boardroom and beyond, resulting in more clients, job promotions, and negotiation wins.

This week, we are giving a second listen to our very special episode with Claudia Sulewski. Sulewski is the founder of Cyklar, a bodycare brand that bridges the gap between luxurious self-care and efficacious formulas. Before becoming a beauty founder, Sulewski was one of the original beauty YouTubers. She started her YouTube channel when she was just 13 years old, under the name BeyondBeautyStar, posting makeup tutorials, vlogs, and other lifestyle content. By the time she graduated high school, she'd grown a massive following that allowed her to monetize her content as an official YouTube partner and make her hobby her full-time job. Sulewski's status as an internet sensation reached new heights when Teen Vogue tapped her to host the publication's YouTube channel as a red carpet correspondent. Her years of experience shooting and editing her own content and using herself as talent for her creative vision were also crucial when she expanded into traditional acting and directing. She's gone on to lead a successful career on and off camera since getting her start on YouTube, booking roles for hit shows like Shrinking and directing music videos for her fiancé, Grammy Award–winning artist Finneas O'Connell. Her career has now come full circle with Cyklar after years of filming GRWM videos and self-care routines for her millions of loyal followers. Since Sulewski was on the show, Cyklar has officially launched in Sephora and gone viral on social media several times over.

Navigational Keywords - Business Strategies for Websites (Best Practices)The conversation focused on the critical role of navigational keywords in business website strategies and best practices for SEO. Several points were raised, including the distinction between informational and navigational keywords, the practical implications for website structure, and how search engines and users interact with these elements.Key Themes & ConceptsWhat Are Navigational Keywords?One concept discussed was the definition of navigational keywords: these are brand-specific queries used to find specific web pages or destinations within a website, such as "Brand + login," "Brand + pricing," or "Brand + contact." Navigational keywords contrast with informational keywords, which are broad and unbranded, like "best restaurant near me" or "how to tie a tie" 09:06.Why Are Navigational Keywords Important?A key theme that emerged was the way navigational keywords indicate high search intent. Users searching with these terms already know the brand and are seeking specific information or functionality—like product pages, contact details, or policy documents 10:15.How to Implement Best PracticesThe discussion explored actionable best practices for leveraging navigational keywords on business websites:Dedicated Pages: Businesses should create clear, dedicated pages for key navigational actions—such as /contact, /about, /pricing, /reviews, /careers—so that search engines have specific, easily indexed URLs to display in search results 14:03.URL Structure & Keyword Density: URLs should reflect the navigational query and use clear, hyphenated keywords to make it easier for algorithms and users to understand (e.g., yourwebsite.com/privacy-policy). Hyphens are treated as word separators by search engines 15:12.Sitemaps & Technical SEO: XML sitemaps act as a roadmap for algorithms to crawl a website efficiently. Keeping both HTML (what users see) and XML (what bots crawl) structures organized is vital 26:31.Regular Updates: Pages should be maintained and regularly updated. The two critical dates for each page are the date published and the date last modified—these inform algorithms the content is current and relevant, improving SEO performance 45:04.Importance of Brand & Action PairingsThe conversation emphasized that effective navigational keywords pair the brand with a specific action or destination (e.g., "Sephora privacy policy," "Amazon shipping"), which allows businesses to "own" those key queries and drive high-intent traffic 12:24.Measuring & Managing SEOThe discussion also touched on website management:The number of well-structured, dedicated pages can impact investment and SEO value 18:03.Regular auditing and technical optimization of all primary and secondary web properties ensures consistency, compliance, and discoverability 22:41.Understanding audience awareness stages (unaware, problem aware, solution aware, product aware, most aware) helps align SEO content and navigational structure with user intent 35:12.TakeawaysNavigational keywords are essential for brand recognition and conversion, providing shortcuts for users seeking specific brand information.Businesses should invest in user-focused, clearly named, and regularly maintained navigational pages to capture high-intent searches 43:06.Effective technical SEO, including XML sitemaps and proper URL structures, boosts a website's usefulness to both users and search engines.By adopting these best practices, businesses ensure their websites are easily navigable for users and highly visible to search engines, setting the stage for better awareness, engagement, and growth.Who Is This For?The conversation focused on business owners, entrepreneurs, creators, and anyone looking to optimize their website's visibility and effectiveness, particularly through the strategic use of navigational keywords.It is especially relevant for those responsible for maintaining or improving the web presence of a brand, including solopreneurs and those with multiple or complex sites seeking clarity on SEO best practices and site structure (00:01:45, 00:21:48, 00:39:24).Key Moments & SEO Summary with TimestampsIntroduction to Navigational Keywords & Series Context: Outlining the focus on keywords for website business strategies (00:00:10).Website as a Core Asset: Emphasizing the necessity of a website as a brand hub for discovery and operations (00:03:00).Value of Quick Links and Site Accessibility: How having links to websites, calendars, and resources streamlines connections at events (00:04:02).Technological Tools for Networking: RFID/NFC and QR codes as ways to share multifaceted digital presences instantly (00:05:27, 00:07:00).Defining Navigational Keywords: Explained as brand-specific, high-intent search queries driving direct access to internal pages (e.g. “Brand + Contact,” “Brand + Login”) (00:08:39-00:12:24).Site Structure & Essential Pages: Importance of clear, dedicated URLs for contact, about, pricing, policies, reviews, etc. for both users and search engines (00:14:03, 00:16:17).Keyword Density, URL Structure, and Modifiers: The technical aspects affecting SEO on navigational and branded queries (00:13:33).Role of Sitemaps and Algorithm Interaction: Front- and back-end elements (HTML/XML) and the importance of current, updated content (00:26:31, 00:28:12).Awareness Stages: Moving from “unaware” to “most aware” for web users and the importance of matching their journey (00:34:42-00:36:46).Regular Updates and Maintenance: The necessity of revisiting and updating site pages to keep them “alive” in the algorithm (00:44:46, 00:45:50).Summary and Call to Action: Clarity, connection, and proactive site management—with encouragement to take the next steps (00:47:12, 00:48:28).FAQs1. What are navigational keywords and why do they matter?Navigational keywords are search queries aimed at finding specific branded pages (e.g. “Brand + Contact”). They guide users directly to the information or action they seek, playing a key role in brand visibility and customer experience (00:08:39, 00:10:15).2. What essential pages should every business website have?Contact, About, Pricing, Privacy Policy, Reviews, Careers, Locations, Return Policy, and Service pages—all clearly labeled with descriptive, hyphenated URLs (00:16:08).3. How often should I update my website pages?Regular updates signal activity and relevance to both users and algorithms. Important dates include “published” and “modified,” which should reflect recent engagement (00:45:04).4. How can I connect multiple websites or domains effectively?Centralize branding, ensure consistent linking, and consolidate scattered domains when possible so search engines understand their relationship and users can easily navigate between them (00:21:57).5. What's the role of awareness stages in website strategy?Your content and site structure should serve users at different familiarity levels—from “unaware” to “most aware”—with easy access to relevant information at every stage (00:35:12).Action Steps from Favour Obasi-ikeAudit All Active Website Pages:Ensure every required page exists, is linked clearly, and contains current information (00:16:17).Check and Update URLs:Use descriptive, hyphenated slugs for internal navigation—e.g., /about-us, /contact, /pricing (00:15:12).Establish an Update Routine:Schedule regular reviews to update modified dates—especially for high-traffic or business critical pages (00:44:46).Centralize Links Across Platforms:Use tools (link aggregators, NFC cards, QR codes) for seamless access from all touchpoints (00:05:52, 00:07:00).Monitor User Awareness:Identify which stage (unaware, problem aware, solution aware, product aware, most aware) your visitors occupy and tailor CTAs and navigation accordingly (00:35:12).Encourage Feedback and Continuous Learning:Collect responses (like the “put a 1 in the chat”) to gauge clarity and adjust future content and site structures (00:46:10).Ready to Rank?

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Andy Riesmeyer Hour 3 (7.23) Andy’s in-studio guest is KTLA entertainment producer Christine Samra, who starts her day at 5 a.m. working alongside Andy on TV and is also a highly experienced traffic reporter — a true woman of many talents. She was thrilled to have Lou Diamond Phillips at the station today. Christine half-jokingly calls herself the “personality hire” at KTLA (we’re fine with it), and she and Andy dig into their chat with Phillips, who looked back on filming the ’80s Western classic Young Guns with Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, and Dermot Mulroney. Traffic experts Angel Martinez and Christine compare notes on the trickiest spots in LA for live traffic reports. In other news, stores like Sephora are turning the music down — not because of older shoppers, but because younger, often neurodivergent customers are asking for less sensory overload. Andy takes a quick trip down memory lane to his Abercrombie & Fitch days and takes a few shots at podcast stereotypes. And the latest homeless count in Los Angeles is up about 3.4%, back to 2024 levels, despite tens of millions spent — Mayor Karen Bass is pointing the finger at the Trump administration.

In this solo episode of Get Obsessed, host Julie Lokun opens up about the routines, rituals, and rabbit holes currently running her summer. She walks listeners through her non-negotiable morning routine — a one-hour walk, meditation, and setting a daily intention — and explains why mindset work has to happen before the to-do list.

We're tackling product waste and the beauty trends which need to go bye-bye on this episode of The Double Cleanse! After discovering that Americans can actually return used cosmetics (!!), James and Robert are diving into the shocking amount of product waste in beauty retail. From damaged-on-purpose makeup to prevent theft and dumpster diving, to products that literally can't go back on the shelf even if they're unopened, the twins reveal just how wasteful the industry is. Then they expose a particularly egregious TikTok trend: a woman bragging about returning her sixth perfume to Sephora in one week – products that immediately get thrown away instead of resold. The waste is real, and it's infuriating. James and Robert are also predicting which beauty trends are about to go extinct! They're calling out the death of glossy, dewy lip products and hydrating lip oils are on their way out. They discuss the cyclical nature of trends: glass skin peaked, now we're heading into matte everything like it's the 90s all over again. They also celebrate the return of peel-off masks, obsess over blue sheet masks and predict the rise of fruit-based skincare ingredients (apple, banana, avocado) making a major comeback.

Welcome to the massive 250th episode of the NonMembers Only podcast! To celebrate the quarter-thousand milestone on National Rock Day, we discuss a Erin's son adopting a pet rock named "Rocky" and vent about our current state of exhaustion, high cortisol, and terrible Wi-Fi at the shore. We recap a chaotic 4th of July weekend that featured severe thunderstorms interrupting fireworks, boats running aground in the low tide, and a nine-year-old successfully lighting his first firework. The beach drama is also heating up, as we recount a tense situation where a 20-year-old beach badge checker was left hyperventilating and crying after a confrontation with frustrated renters. On a more positive note, Erin shares an exciting fitness update after successfully getting her chin over a painfully low doorway pull up bar.In an "Erin's Tea Time" update on the LBI mega house, we discuss rumors that the neighbor's variance lawsuit failed, prompting our new motto: "Why rules, why laws, when money". We then pivot to retail, praising Sephora for rolling out sensory friendly "quiet hours" while absolutely roasting a fancy grocery store for deciding to install loud, rough stone flooring in their aisles. Moving into sports, we discuss the Prefontaine Classic and the bizarre reality of a Team USA sprinter getting kicked off his own alumni track by security. Our FIFA segment covers two wild stories: the tragic painting over of Robert Wyland's iconic 30 year old Dallas whale mural to make way for World Cup branding, and the insane seven year engineering process behind the tournament's grass pitches, which involves robotic cleats, vacuum powered ventilation, and artificial grow lights. Finally, we ring the "New Sport Alert" to highlight the intense world of Pro Rock Skipping at the Kentucky Invitational. We also debate if walking underwater via a pressurized diving bell ship counts as a sport, and question the authenticity of a Russian couple's viral Empire State Building climb. To wrap up with "No Bad, No Sad," we celebrate Team USA sprinter Kung Fu Kenny (Kenny Bednarek) and his incredibly humble, heartwarming reaction to being surprised by a massive Nike store mural of himself.
