In this episode, we dive into why an Olive Garden manager was so over-invested in the company she worked for that she ended up getting the boot, why a woman found out the hard way why tatting' ya eyeballs was a terrible idea, + why the company called Something Navy, created by an influencer, is in deep shit. Next- we talk about what it means to “crush the mindset spiral,” what happens in your business and life when you decide to take authority over the thoughts, feelings, and decisions you make inside of your business- and how it changes your relationship with other people in your life. It's such a good one! You'll be sure to laugh your ass off, learn a ton, and end the episode feeling inspired to be the authority over your thoughts and your beliefs- and not have them become the authority of YOU.

This week, I am joined by my RushTok collaborator Lydia Getachew and we dive into last week's wildfire drama: the Arielle Charnas, aka Something Navy, scandal. We dig deep into the juice, ponder why it is that we are so invested in influencer culture, why it is easy to believe "reliable sources" when it come to NYC gossip, we debate whether or not influencers are public figures, and discuss what I believe to be an almost right of passage of being a 20-something in NYC: working for "start ups" run by founders living large and paying zero.
Sad news about a Summer House cast breakup. Suspect lineup: Who is Lindsay aiming her karma comment at? Jersey/RHUGT cast rumors are swirling. The Potomac mid-season trailer is bananas. We have some My Unorthodox Life tea. And, while we don't usually cover influencer tea, we couldn't ignore all the Something Navy emails - we have a deep dive for you.

We give you all the facts so you can make the call for yourself, but if you ask us? We're moving on. Katie Holmes shows up to the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in an outfit so horrendous it MUST be a PR stunt. We're all for experimentation, but we can't seem to find justification here. And Pre-Fall 2023 is officially here, and while we hadn't given it too much thought before, there were some shows that really sparked our interest this year! From Jacquemus's expert raffia usage to Thom Browne's dreamy nautical coats and Alessandra Rich's feminine grunge that filled us with inspiration, we let you know what's worth taking a look at.

Matt Scanlan is the Co-Founder and CEO of Naadam. Despite getting kicked out of more schools than he was let into, Matt left college early after landing a great job in private equity. After 3 years and a lot of burn out, he decided to take a break and travel throughout Asia. When he got to his first stop in Mongolia, he wound up deep in the countryside, looking to experience the true nomadic lifestyle. After living with a family of goat herders for the next month, he started to notice some of the pain points of their lifestyle, and launched a nonprofit with initiatives like livestock insurance, water and grasslands projects and veterinary care to help improve and preserve their culture and livelihood. What he realized was that the economic system the herders were a part of, selling goat fiber used for cashmere to local buyers, was rigged. The buyers would come in, set a super low price, and get away with it because they were literally the only buyer in town. Matt realized that the best way to help his nomadic friends and other communities like theirs was to buy up all their raw material. And that's how Naadam was born. Today at Naadam, Matt and his team make men's and women's clothes from the best cashmere in the world, straight off the backs of goats from Mongolia's Gobi desert. They cut out all the middle men from the traditional cashmere trade and work directly with local herders so they can pay them 50% more and charge you 50% less for the softest knitwear on the planet. Their $75, 100% cashmere sweater blew up their business when it launched in 2018, and today, they employ over 100 people. Perhaps the most impressive thing about their business is the commitment to sustainability from Day 1. They have goals to ensure livable wages across their supply chain, promote ethical conditions for the animals that produce their raw materials and go carbon neutral by reducing emissions and leveraging renewable energy.Tune in to hear Matt's story!As a special offer, Matt is giving our listeners 15% off all products on their site.

After a pandemic-caused delay, influencer Arielle Charnas' clothing company Something Navy finally relaunched last week as a direct-to-consumer brand, after selling exclusively as a Nordstrom collaboration. For her and interim CEO Matt Scanlan, it was worth the wait: Online, Something Navy grossed $1 million in just 30 minutes, according to Charnas and Scanlan. "The velocity and speed of sales totally broke our back end," Scanlan said on the Glossy Podcast. Charnas has a considerable Instagram following of 1.3 million to thank for the marketing push. In fact, Something Navy didn't spend a dollar on traditional marketing, Scanlan said. But a massive following can also come with scrutiny. Back in March, Charnas drew criticism for the way she handled a Covid-19 diagnosis -- withdrawing to a house outside of NYC, rather than staying home. "People wanted me to be more sensitive about what was going on in the world, and I should have been," Charnas said. Scanlan and Charnas talked about the lessons learned, the future of influencer culture and the new KPIs for a clothing company.

When Ashley Platt couldn't find a simple, modern curtain rod that fit her taste, she made her own out of lucite. A few years later, she has a bustling business making “jewelry for the home.” In this episode, we cover everything related to the hardware she makes – from construction tips from the Rockler Blog to how the Brooklyn Navy Yard helps their tenants grow. For those looking for inspiration, you can see some of Lux Holdups' work at the Museum of Ice Cream, in J Lo's new movie Marry Me, River Spencer interior design, and the popular instagram account Something Navy.
Lately, Naadam co-founder Matt Scanlan has been juggling leading three fashion brands -- on top of being CEO of his 6-year-old cashmere brand, he's the CEO of Thakoon and the interim CEO of Something Navy -- and making regular appearances on QVC. For someone who's easily distracted unless he has a lot of work in front of him, selling stuff on TV is a good outlet. "If you're an instant gratification person like I am, I don't think there's anything better than this," Scanlan said on the Glossy Podcast. It also plays into his strategy of selling Naadam's sustainable cashmere products across as many channels as possible. Beyond TV, "that means online, working with multi-brand retailers and having your own storefront or collaborating with others," Scanlan said. He plans to have eight brick-and-mortar Naadam stores by the end of 2020. Scanlan talked about the marketing value of sustainability, the draw to work with recent Glossy Podcast guest Thakoon Panichgul and the guerrilla marketing campaign that got attention from the police.
