Dasha Zhukova Niarchos is the founder of Ray, a residential lifestyle brand and real estate development company that builds art-forward residences. Ray's inaugural building in Philly's Fishtown neighborhood comprises 110 residential units and several amenities geared towards creatives and art & design lovers, such as artist studios, co-working space, a gym, a community kitchen, a green roof deck, a lobby living room and an independent art bookstore. One of the best perks of living at Ray is the cultural programming for residents, which includes art classes, gallery openings, and other social activities. The launch of the Philly building was a success, completing lease up in 8 months and proving the thesis that renters want to live in beautifully designed spaces that enhance their everyday experience. Ray's next building in Harlem is designed by Frida Escobedo and includes a new home for the National Black Theatre. The building comprises 222 mixed-income units, a similar suite of amenities, and stunning views of New York from its rooftop terrace.Prior to founding Ray, Dasha founded the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow in 2008. The Museum was designed by Rem Koolhaas and is Russia's first and only contemporary art archive. In 2011, she founded Garage Magazine, which she sold and bought back from Vice Magazine. Dasha is also a co-founder of Artsy, a digital art marketplace and discovery platform. She also serves on the board of several organizations and companies, such as the LA County Museum of Art, Soho House, The Met, and more.In this interview, we dove into the business of combining art, design, and real estate development into a cohesive lifestyle brand. I'm excited about Ray because I believe that branded real estate will be a big consumer trend, and I also like the way that Dasha is executing her vision with thoughtfulness and attention to detail.Thank you Peoplevine for sponsoring this episode.

Dear Wonderful Readers,This morning, I woke up grumpy and exhausted, scrolling depressively for thirty minutes, debating whether to even get up. My self-criticism has been flaring up again, making life almost unlivable.“Come to this self-portrait event at Soho House!” my friend coaxed me via WhatsApp.I frowned. Most of me wanted to stay at home, hiding. But after a short self-compassion practice to stop me destroying myself from self-hatred, I got up. I got a latte. I went for a walk. I decided to go to the self-portrait event. Because why the hell not?Get a weekly, shamelessly sexy musing

“So, we're on the elevator—and we're angry.”In this raw and revealing follow-up to last week's episode, Lauren picks up right where they left off: the hotel hallway tension, the slammed door, and the unforgettable, rage-fueled sex that followed. Clothes were ripped off, bodies thrown against walls, and a deep desire to be chosen and wanted took over.Lauren and Trey reflect on the erotic electricity of that night—what made it so charged, why they've never had sex like that before, and how it left them both breathless… and then laughing when Trey had to wear Lauren's sweatshirt home after the fire alarm went off. (Yes, really.)But this episode isn't just a sex story. They unpack the difference between hot and healthy. They name the ingredients that made that encounter intense and why they've agreed not to repeat it. Together, they explore the psychology of angry sex, make-up sex, and what happens when arousal is driven by disconnection instead of desire.They then shift into what's coming next: their plans for an upcoming Manhattan rendezvous—one that blends familiarity and mystery—and Lauren's exciting speaking gig at Soho House. She opens up about her growth, the mantra she's holding—"I am good enough"—and how she's preparing to do Live Sex & Relationship Coaching on stage.Trey shares his excitement and support for Lauren's so-called “National Tour,” and they talk about what it means to keep showing up for each other, especially when the stakes are high.This conversation blends sexual healing, relationship advice, and emotional intimacy, offering tools for couples who want to better understand the intersection of sex and conflict. Whether you're curious about sex after a fight, make-up intimacy, or how communication can turn rage into repair, this episode delivers insights you won't hear in couples therapy or your group chat.

Show Notes: Sarah Dobson, founder and creative director at Design of Brand, discusses their niche in helping founders of companies establish their brand identity. They offer a process that includes brand strategy, naming, and creating a visual identity system for launch or relaunch. She explains what a brand identity entails and provides examples of successful case studies. Discovering and Designing a Brand Identity Sarah explains what the core of a brand identity is, how it is more than just a palette or a logo, and how she helps founders articulate that identity from developing the symbolic mark, word mark, and often, the name of the company through to the visual design elements of fonts and colours etc. She discusses her practice of collecting examples for design inspiration. She shares that he takes photos of various elements, such as typography, street signs, shapes, and color palettes, and banks them to find the right place in someone's identity. She also mentions that she started using Pinterest early on and quickly gained 800,000 followers. Sarah believes that understanding trends is crucial for creating unique designs and not looking like another brand. She uses Pinterest to research interiors and symbols for clients where she populates secret boards with images and ideas. She researches broadly online to find inspiration from a variety of sources and uses it to create visually appealing designs. Sarah mentions that she is considering launching a course to help people name their companies. She believes that sharing her capabilities with others would be meaningful to help more people develop their brand identity. A Case Study on Naming a Brand Sarah shares a case study of working with a founder who didn't have a name for their company. She shares the story of Othership, a social sauna and cold plunge business in New York. The founder had stopped drinking and was looking for alternative alternatives to bars. Sarah explains that she had two clients who were also interested in Sonic culture and the Soho House of Wellness. The clients joined forces to establish their company and Sarah explains how she worked closely with them to develop a deep understanding of who they were and of the company they were developing. Sarah observed the founders as they were prototyping and building out the space. They developed breath work, audio and physical space to help them synthesize their vision for a more social, healthy way of having fun. Sarah explains how she encouraged them to change their name from Inward to Othership because it reflected the founder's focus on connections and creating a healthy space with and for others rather than internal issues. She also explains how playing with suffixes and compound words is a part of the naming process. Case Study on Creating a Visual Identity Sarah discusses the process of creating a visual identity for the brand Othership, including the logo mark, buttons, and photography. She talks about where she found inspiration for the symbol mark, which included drawing inspiration from the spinning top toy and The Sims. The logo has had an incredible effect on people's lives, with at least five people now having tattoos of it. The color scheme was inspired by Disney's Fantasia, and the founders' energy was a key factor in the design, and the color palette was atypical and flexible, not just two colors. Sarah explains that this approach was similar to a design she developed for a super food snack cafe's color palette. In terms of process and iterations, Sarah mentions that, sometimes, two to three different concepts are explored, with one being the most likely one based on the client's preferences and the other exploring more strategic ideas. The process is seen as due diligence, with the goal of finding the one that resonates with the client. Case Study on the Brand Identity of a Cannabis Retailer and an Organic Food Snack Sarah discusses his experiences in creating a cannabis retailer in Canada, which was a unique and exciting venture. She created a brand called Superette, which aimed to make people feel comfortable buying cannabis legally. The brand was inspired by Peter Pan in Brooklyn, an old Polish bakery because the store felt like a community, with lineups and regulars for breakfast. Another case example is a nut milk bar cafe and a nut milk. The cafe was developed by a friend after completing a nutrition education course and wanted to provide a healthier cafe alternative to muffins and unhealthy drinks. The founder went on to develop and sell the nut milk, which t is made from scratch and is nutritionally dense, making it a potential competitor to Starbucks. The brand was rebranded and reworked, with the word mark and visual identity system updated. The goal was to strengthen and optimize the brand for future success. A Design Perspective on Fonts Sarah talks about her knowledge with fonts. She shares a quote, “words have meaning but typography has a feeling and can be spectacular.” She talks about the evolution of typography from handwriting, scripting, manuscripts, and the printing press to the computer. A study by the New York Times found that serifs such as Baskerville or Garamond were found to be the most believable font. Sarah suggests starting to educate oneself by examining their intuition and feeling the right fit. She mentions that Comic Sans, an early digital font, has been found to be beneficial for dyslexia due to its letter forms. Sarah talks about her methods of classification when choosing a brand font and gives a few examples of how a font feels. She suggests that anyone interested in learning more about fonts should start by exploring different font styles and their impact on the human subconscious.

In this episode of Brave Bold Brilliant, we sit down with Chris Howell — founder and owner of SPX Gym Design - to explore how he's redefining the future of fitness and wellness spaces. From his early days as a Division 1 lacrosse player and Wall Street trader to becoming a global leader in gym and wellness design, Chris shares his inspiring journey of blending functionality, luxury, and personal storytelling into every space he creates. Discover how Chris crafts bespoke gyms for high-end homes, NFL athletes, luxury hotels like Soho House and 1Hotel, and innovative wellness hubs across 14 countries. We dive deep into the trends shaping fitness spaces today, including saunas, plunge pools, meditation zones, and the integration of recovery into gym design. Chris also reveals how collaboration with architects and designers brings his vision to life - creating environments that are as emotionally powerful as they are technically excellent. You'll hear why: Success often comes from following interests and being open to opportunities rather than having a rigid master plan. The journey can evolve based on experiences and networking. The design of a gym or wellness space significantly impacts a person's motivation and willingness to engage in fitness. A welcoming and well-designed environment can make individuals feel more inclined to work out. Different regions have unique approaches to fitness and wellness, influenced by local customs, preferences, and available resources. Understanding these cultural nuances is crucial for successful gym design. Creating a sense of belonging and community within a gym can enhance member retention. Personal connections and accountability, such as friendships or trainers, play a vital role in maintaining motivation.

Building a direct-to-consumer (DTC) brand offers an incredible opportunity to connect with customers and foster long-term brand loyalty. But while the rewards can be significant, so too are the challenges and barriers to entry. That's why I wanted to speak with someone who has successfully navigated this journey for our season focus on sales.From modest beginnings in a Shoreditch coffee shop in 2011, David Abrahamovitch has built Grind into one of the UK's leading DTC coffee brands. Having built a hugely loyal customer base, it's estimated a Grind coffee is enjoyed every 2.8 seconds in the UK. David's business has also grown through partnerships with the likes of British Airways & Soho House. Keep listening to hear David's advice on how to build a DTC brand & how to leverage community-building to generate sales. David's advice:Accept that everything is sales; sell to yourself constantlyWith every small sale you are building a following and a brandPitching your product should not worry you; you know more than anyone else about it, so you have nothing to fearAlways know your numbers; but also tell the story of the history of the brand, and your plans for its futureBe optimistic - but not delusional!DTC is more work in that you have to have a website / attract people to that website / and deal with the packaging and the postingWhereas selling through a retailer you only need to advertise the productBUT DTC gives you access to customers' data and allows you to build a relationship with themSo selling through both the above is perhaps optimalAdvertising is essential for DTC selling - Facebook / Instagram / email / tube car panels are all useful; expect to spend up to 30% of revenue on marketing which will be a constant burdenRetaining customers is everything; the product must be a good oneIf customers unsubscribe, find out why so that you can fix the problemUse AI to help with small repetitive edits, not to replace people, just to speed up what they doIn order to attract young talent, create a culture that they will understand and like; always be thoughtful with your team and make sure they understand their job, their position and the company missionFF&M enables you to own your own PR & produces podcasts.Recorded, edited & published by Juliet Fallowfield, 2024 MD & Founder of PR & Communications consultancy for startups Fallow, Field & Mason.

A strong 2024 saw high volumes of hotel investment transactions across the UK and mainland European hotel markets. Will similar levels of activity be enjoyed in 2025? The SPACs, Soho House and Sonder, remain under pressure, with a new take-private offer appearing for the membership business; this time around, it appears major stakeholders may accept the offer. And French investment giant Covivio reaffirms its interest in hotels, as it takes its operational learnings from the hotel sector to change the way it manages its office and residential assets, too.

Hello Wonderful Readers,I hope you had a lovely holiday. Despite having Covid and then the flu and watching the neighborhood my mother grew up in being razed by a wildfire, I am keeping my promise to you. I'm here to tell you the story of how Todor and I met. Before I do that, I have one very exciting announcement.Upcoming Topic on Misseducated Podcast: Open RelationshipsNext week, I will be interviewing an anonymous girl about the successful open relationship she's been in with her partner for the last four years. They do all kinds of fun things together, like go to play parties. While open relationships are common, I know very few couples that have done it successfully. She's graciously agreed to be interviewed by me for the Misseducated podcast. So, if you have a question for her, please feel free to comment below if you are a paid subscriber, or you can respond to this email or text me. My interview with her should be great, but whatever questions you send me will make it even better.Thank you so much!I hope you enjoy the romance to come

Hello Wonderful Readers,Yesterday, a poet asked me,“Do you ever tell lies?”He had locks of brown hair, a strong jawline, and wicked eyes that smiled. I caught his gaze for a second, but then I quickly looked away. I focused on his somewhat dorky, checkered shirt. My shoulders hung heavy with guilt as I listened to the catchy notes of Lou Reed that played over us from an old vinyl turntable.I was three hours into my first date with this poet at Hule, a trendy, bustling bar in Mexico City. The night air was scented with a thin layer of cigarette smoke and air pollution. We had gotten along rather well, laughing a lot, until that moment. Could he sense that I was hiding something?“I h-had to lie the other day,” I admitted, stumbling over my words, “But I believe lying is really bad. And I never do it.” I took a large sip of my IPA. I let the sharpness of the alcohol zap my throat.“Why did you lie?” he pressed me. It was the next most obvious question. Urgh, I was terrible at this, I thought to myself.“Well,” I started, and then I immediately regretted everything as it came out of my mouth, “I had to go to the doctor to get…um…my IUD replaced. I didn't meet the requirements, but I only had one day to get it done in England for free. So, I had to go to this clinic and give them a fake name and a fake address. Anyway, I got it done.”I bit my tongue. Didn't meet the requirements? Oh, please.The truth was that I had scheduled that appointment in London two months in advance, and when I finally went to the doctor, she had asked me, “Have you had any unprotected sex in the last three weeks?” And I answered honestly, “Yes,” because I'm a clueless fool. And then she stared deep into my soul and said, with pity in her voice, “You should probably take some emergency contraception because you could be pregnant.” This was a ridiculous thing for her to say because I still had my old IUD inside of me, and I apparently study and care about women's health, and I thought I knew about these things. And that even if my IUD had expired a month ago, it wouldn't just stop working overnight. But I couldn't be sure without reading all the medical fine print from the IUD companies on the internet and deciphering a bunch of Reddit forums that night. And now, after eight years of not having to worry about pregnancy, this nurse was dishing out to me all the shame that I'd thought I was smart enough and wise enough to avoid and made me feel like I was being totally reckless for having what had been a beautiful, deep connection with a very sexy man.The truth was that I then had to tell Todor*, this very sexy man that I was sleeping with and whose dangerous sperm was potentially still swimming inside of me, that I might be pregnant after I had let him cum inside of me as many times as he wanted to because that was what I had wanted also. Needless to say, discussing my potential pregnancy with him was kind of a vibe killer because he said to me, “I don't want to have a kid.” I didn't have the guts to tell him, “I want to have a kid, but maybe not today, but maybe if we were actually boyfriend and girlfriend, I would have wanted to have one with you, but we live in different countries on different continents, and I am honestly so depressed being here in London, and I would never come back here, at least never again during the winter, if I could avoid it, but I'm too scared to tell you that.” And that after fulfilling my weird impregnation fantasies, while I had quite enjoyed my times with him, actually facing the reality of potentially conceiving a child together didn't feel quite as cool or fun or sexy as those times had been.The truth was that I had then had to leave that clinic without my new IUD and wait for another couple of days for all of Todor's dangerous sperm floating around in my inner caves to die before I rushed myself to another clinic on my last day in London. There, I gave the doctor, who was really quite a kind woman who did not deserve to be lied to, a fake date of birth and a fake address, which was definitely super illegal. And then I lied to her that I hadn't had unprotected sex in the last three weeks so that I could do what was right for my own body because I really did need that Hormonal IUD to help with my periods and also give me a solid form of birth control for the next eight years. I was privileged enough to live in a country that offers socialized medicine, but that has a lagging enough technological system that didn't check between clinics, and I could take full advantage of it for my own benefit.The truth was that once she had finally inserted my new IUD, which was physically painful but that didn't scratch the surface of this evident emotional turmoil, she suggested to me that I probably would want to take it out before the eight years were up, meaning that she expected me to want to have a child by the time I was 37, all that being contingent on finding a partner and us wanting to start a family together, which would not be an easy decision, and that person was tragically but undeniably not going to be Todor. I was turning 30, and I wasn't a teenage girl anymore. The eggs in my ovaries were not going to live forever.The truth was that this made me feel very sad. Remembering all of that, I really had no business being on a first date with this funny and charming Poet Man anyway because it had barely been a week since I had left Todor behind in London, the city I grew up in and used to call home but frankly hated visiting, wondering all the while why modern love had to be so f*****g hard but also knowing that I would never be happy living in London again. I had gone through so much in the last three years to build a beautiful life for myself in Mexico, and I wasn't about to throw all that away for nothing.The truth was that I had spent most of that week before the date randomly sobbing whenever I got a brief moment to myself, especially whenever I sat down to play “Mad Rush” by Philip Glass on the piano in Soho House, where Todor and I had celebrated his birthday and my first author birthday together a mere month ago. And I had finally felt loved by someone else for a brief moment in time after years of dating a******s or perfectly lovely men with whom I had no future, and now the one person that I had quite liked and I believed had quite liked me back couldn't be together, and that made me so, so sad. And that in my first week back in Mexico City, I had intentionally returned with my other friends to the places where I had memories with Todor so that I could paint over every scent of him that kept creeping up in my body, whether that be at my favorite pizza place or a random spot on the street near my house. And I had initiated 60 days of no contact with him also, or until further notice, so I could rip out the roots of whatever love for him I had that was growing inside of me and lob that tree off at the lowest point of the trunk possible.The truth was that I still had the card that Todor had given me. I had stashed it with the book that he had bought for me in the closet in my house because I didn't want to get rid of them yet. Still, I also didn't want to come home and see them and think about them and think about him every day, and I knew that he would understand that. However, the fact that I knew they were still in my closet and that I am thinking about them even now made it even more clear to me that I still wasn't over him. I might have to get rid of his gifts if I ever wanted to be, but we had ended on good terms, so there was really no reason to be quite so drastic in my actions to remove him from my life anyway.The truth was that, as funny as this Poet Man was, he was never going to know any of this, and as I had no intention of going home with him, I would keep it that way. Because, practically speaking, while many of us dating in our late twenties and early thirties are not virgins, the last thing you want someone to bring up on a first date is a past lover. It's rude. It's disrespectful, and frankly, I was not about to give this Poet Man the barefaced dissatisfaction of knowing that I was not over Todor at all. Instead, I let him speak.“I mean, it makes sense if you got done what you needed to get done,” he said vaguely, but in a way that I knew he was trying to be kind.“I guess,” I said, “What about you? When was the last time you lied?”The Poet Man continued with the conversation. I let his words drift in through one of my ears and out the other.Do you want to know the full truth? Next week on Misseducated, I'll be back with the honest story of how Todor and I met and what we got up to when he was in Mexico. Wink wink.Until then, I hope you have a lovely weekend.Much love,Tash
