They explore her path from a Columbia neuroscience lab to fine art cake design, and the philosophy of "cake as therapy" that shapes her studio work. Then they turn to the commission itself: how she pitched it, why she landed on the theme American Made, and how children's artwork from all fifty states and the territories became the centerpiece.  Later, Grace walks through the congressional sessions she's running on Capitol Hill, the donated ingredients sourced from local farms and historic mills, the recipe she rebuilt from the first American cookbook, and the logistics of moving a cake the size of a car. They discuss: (0:00) Pitching the birthday cake (4:07) From a neuroscience lab to a cake studio (7:37) Fine art cakes and the multisensory experience (14:33)Personifying America and landing on American Made (29:48) Bipartisan sessions on Capitol Hill (37:04) Sourcing the ingredients from local farms (41:51) Baking like it's 1796: the historic recipe research  (46:53) A cake the size of a car: logistics, humidity, and delivery (49:13) Volunteers, nonprofits, and what she'll take away Check out Duchess of Cameron: https://www.duchessofcameron.com/ Follow Ron on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RonSteslow Follow Grace on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/duchessofcameron Email your questions to podcast@politicology.com or leave us a voicemail at ‪(202) 455-4558‬ Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Swimming with Allocators, Kate Simpson joins Earnest and Alexa to share her journey from starting as a history major at the UNC endowment to leading the venture strategy at multi-asset OCIO firm GEM. She explains how she learned institutional investing, specialized in private markets, and refined her craft at Parish Capital and Truebridge, including fund-of-funds due diligence, reference work, and the power of platforms and networks. The conversation dives into how to build a venture program from scratch, why alignment, patience, and resource intensity matter, and how GEM uses a barbell approach across top-tier scaled platforms and emerging managers while avoiding the “crowded middle.” Kate breaks down how LPs evaluate managers (source, pick, win), why fund math and ownership are critical, and how today's AI-driven cycle, secondary markets, and companies staying private longer are reshaping ventures.

India's corporate renewable energy market is entering a new phase. While International Renewable Energy Certificates still lead the way for buyers seeking flexibility, simplicity, and cost-effective compliance, larger corporates are increasingly exploring Virtual Power Purchase Agreements, financial contracts that allow procurement of renewable energy attributes without taking physical delivery of the power. In a structurally oversupplied Indian I-REC market, rising issuance, cyclical demand, and price sensitivity continue to shape procurement strategies. Vipul Garg, Platts senior price reporter, environmental markets at S&P Global Energy, joins Utsab Sil Roy, head of operations at Climate Cred, an environmental solutions company that helps businesses measure, report and offset their greenhouse gas emissions, and Ahmad Afiq, Platts senior I-RECs price reporter, to discuss pricing trends, growing corporate demand, India's energy procurement mix and government policies.

In this episode, Caroline and Liz talk with artist and product designer Susan Hable. Susan is the co-founder of the Athens, Georgia-based design studio Hable Construction, which she runs with her sister, Katherine. Celebrating 27 years in business, Susan's work spans lighting, furniture, fine art, textiles, and jewelry, all rooted in her bold, hand-painted patterns and joyful sense of color. Susan joins the show to discuss her 20-plus-year partnership with lifestyle brand Garnet Hill, her artistic origins, her approach to building an intentional art collection, and the story behind her historic 1905 home. Key Takeaways from the Episode The Power of Small Patterns: While large expressions are artistic, small, tightly repeated patterns—like Hable Construction's iconic, best-selling "Beads" print—have a unique, calming effect that anchors a space. Small patterns add excellent grounding texture on everything from seat cushions to linens. Trust the Emotional Value of Art: When collecting art, buy pieces that speak directly to your heart and make you feel a specific emotion, rather than shopping for what is trendy. If original art is out of your budget, high-quality prints, art books, and local school or community art auctions are excellent alternatives. Design with Out-of-Print Inspiration: Rather than relying exclusively on the internet, Susan builds a personal library of physical books, estate sale finds, and historical reference materials to inform her custom textile patterns and landscape aesthetics. Building a Historical Garden: For her 1905 home, Susan designed a garden mirroring traditional Victorian landscapes, prioritizing an organic mix of loose, "floppy" movements (like anemones and Gaura) bordered by clean, tight lines. Episode Timeline 00:34 – Introduction to Susan Hable and Hable Construction. 01:54 – Susan's artistic childhood, early mentors, and grandmother's influence on her style. 06:17 – The accidental textile breakthrough after a trip to India that led to their first major retail order with Barneys. 09:35 – How a dream inspired the sisters to pivot to screen printing and scale production. 12:12 – The history of the signature "Beads" print and how it functions as design's "white shirt and jeans". 18:12 – Sourcing creative inspiration from physical books, libraries, and out-of-print collections. 34:56 – Moving from New York to Athens, Georgia, and renovating a historic 1905 home through the 2008 market shift. 42:13 – Susan's philosophy on collecting art, avoiding trends, and shopping without friend interference. 52:13 – Artists Susan loves, including Rose Wiley, David Shrigley, Leanne Shapton, and Martha Rich. 59:36 – Tips for collecting local art through local auctions and charity events. 01:02:24 – Designing the latest Garnet Hill collection: Portuguese linens, deconstructed tossed florals, and custom rickrack details. Mentioned in This Episode The "Beads" Print: Susan's number-one-selling organic linear-circular pattern utilized across multiple product categories. Garnet Hill Latest Collection: Features an apparel debut, high-drape Portuguese linen duvets, shams, and pajama sets trimmed with custom pale yellow rickrack.

Those giant pyramids of sand at every frac site exist for one reason, and it turns out the industry might be quietly running short on the good stuff. Curtis Wilie and Josh Johnson of Superior Energy Services break down how a coal byproduct called fly ash is shaking up the proppant game, why something three times finer than sand outperforms it, and how pulling forgotten barrels from legacy wells could matter more than drilling new ones.

Join Udi Lazimy, Founder & CEO of FUDI Protein, for a conversation on what may be the most important protein opportunity hiding in plain sight — and why the food industry has been routing it through a cow instead of putting it on your plate.After leading Sourcing and Sustainability at Eat Just — makers of Just Mayo and Just Egg — Udi saw firsthand how fragile and opaque alternative protein supply chains had become. His answer was FUDI: a food and agtech startup built on regenerative American-grown alfalfa, near-field mobile processing, and a circular model that returns byproducts to farmers as premium feed. The result is RuBisCO — the most abundant protein on Earth — unlocked for human food for the first time at commercial scale.In this episode, we get into the science, the supply chain logic, the crowdfunding strategy, and what it really takes to build a protein company that can rival egg white and whey on performance, price, and sustainability.

Health data affects artificial intelligence in important ways. Camille Nebeker, Ed.D., M.S., UC San Diego, explains why ethically sourced data is foundational to building trustworthy, AI-ready health data repositories. Nebeker examines how ethical sourcing applies across the full data lifecycle, including consent, governance, transparency, data quality, privacy, stewardship, and community engagement. She also shows how ideas from supply chain management and value sensitive design help teams identify ethical tensions and improve decision-making. This work helps explain why ethics cannot be added at the end of AI development and points toward more accountable data practices that support public trust and stronger downstream performance.

The current landscape of the home furnishings industry has become increasingly precarious, as recent developments in trade policy have introduced a series of complex challenges that demand our immediate attention. A new customs crackdown, alongside a sweeping tariff proposal impacting sixty nations, has significantly elevated the stakes for businesses reliant on a global supply chain. Furthermore, the multitude of billions in refund claims now ensnared in legal uncertainty adds another layer of unpredictability to an already tumultuous financial environment. As we delve into the implications of these changes, it becomes evident that the principles of sourcing, pricing, and margin discipline are poised to be rigorously tested once more. We must approach the coming weeks with a proactive mindset, leveraging the opportunity for engagement during the public comment period on tariffs to advocate for our interests and to navigate through these turbulent times with strategic foresight.Takeaways:The recent proposal for new tariffs from the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative poses significant challenges for the home furnishings industry, potentially raising costs across numerous product categories.A multitude of new regulations and compliance requirements are expected to increase scrutiny on import practices and could lead to delays and additional expenses for retailers.Macy's recent performance indicates a shift in consumer behavior, where rising prices have led to a noticeable decline in demand for mid-tier furniture products, necessitating strategic adjustments by retailers.The acquisition of Leggett and Platt by Somni Group signals a consolidation in the bedding supply chain, which may affect component availability and pricing in the near future.The ongoing legal disputes regarding tariff refunds highlight the unpredictable financial environment for importers, complicating their planning processes amidst changing regulations.As the market evolves, retailers must adapt to a K-shaped economic recovery, focusing on cost management and diverse financing options to better serve value-sensitive consumers.

What if AI Actually Costs More Than Humans?   The headcount reduction mandate has landed on your desk: replace talent with AI and cut costs. But beneath the vendor demos and boardroom promises lies a dangerous assumption - that artificial intelligence is automatically cheaper than human expertise.   What if the token economics tell a different story?   Join us for a provocative livestream that flips the AI narrative and protects your workforce strategy.   • The hidden maths of token consumption -and why projected savings evaporate at scale   • Why cost-per-inference is rarely modelled against fully-loaded employee costs in vendor ROI   • Talent attrition: when top performers leave because they see AI replacement unfolding   • Quality degradation and the invisible cost of human-in-the-loop error correction   • Vendor lock-in: how API pricing volatility turns fixed labor into unpredictable OpEx   • The productivity paradox: why AI-augmented teams outperform pure replacement strategies   • Compliance blind spots: liability, bias audits, and regulatory costs headcount never triggered   • Retraining debt: the unbudgeted expense of prompt engineering and system maintenance   • The competitive cost of hollow teams when institutional knowledge walks out the door   • Frameworks to model true total cost of AI ownership before approving any reduction-in-force   This is not an anti-AI argument - it is a financial reality check for leaders pressured to cut first and calculate later. Before you trade headcount for tokens, understand the true cost of replacing humans with models.   We're on Friday 5th June, 2pm BST.

A 1970s spy thriller shouldn't look gray—and Anastasia Magoutas explains how color, character, and costume rewrite the Cold War. Costume designer Anastasia Magoutas joins Voice of Costume to discuss designing PONIES for Peacock, starring Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson, and how she built a vibrant, stylish, emotionally grounded 1970s spy world. Raised in Queens by Greek immigrant parents, Anastasia shares how curiosity, theater, art school, NYU, and hands-on collaboration shaped her path from acting and directing into costume design. She breaks down the creative philosophy behind the show: rejecting the flat "gray Soviet filter" often used in Cold War stories and instead creating a world full of color, humor, danger, aspiration, and real people living complicated lives. Anastasia dives into sourcing vintage 1970s fashion, using LA and European costume houses, building hero coats, duplicating key garments for stunts, and finding the difference between American casual cool and European vintage elegance. The episode also explores the contrast between Bea and Twyla—one precise, polished, and controlled; the other rebellious, chaotic, and "the right kind of wrong." Anastasia shares how trust, long-term creative relationships, fear, perfectionism, and community helped her deliver a costume world that feels cinematic, character-driven, and unforgettable. The "Voice of Costume" is the first podcast created between working costume designers sharing stories, inspiration, struggles, and insights into the creative career of costume design. A behind-the-scenes podcast to showcase the voices of Costume Designers around the world. Listen in on this inspirational, one-on-one conversation with Catherine Baumgardner.

In this episode, Michael speaks with chef Sam Jett about building restaurants that serve communities, people, and the planet.Sam shares how he shifted from a planned healthcare path into cooking, credits McDonald's for teaching standards and systems, and recounts formative time in Copenhagen kitchens including Relæ and Noma.After years as Sean Brock's right-hand leader across multiple brands, Sam took over Audrey and refocused it on Appalachian heritage: removing luxury imported ingredients, tightening sourcing “guardrails,” and adopting a zero-waste mindset.He describes a network of about 26 regional farms/producers supplying roughly 95% of the menu and a CSA-style budgeting approach where farmers send what they choose, including imperfect crops that the team transforms using the restaurant's lab.Sam explains making the economics work through circular “mini-ecosystems” and multiple revenue streams, and emphasizes relationships and trust as the core leadership principle.Connect with Sam:https://www.instagram.com/samuel.jett/?hl=enhttps://www.audreynashville.com/Connect with the podcastJoin the Hospitality Mavericks newsletterTune in via your favourite podcast platform - here More episodes for you to check out here A big thank you to our episode sponsor Monotree.They help hospitality operators strengthen operations and scale company culture by creating a "Branded Front Door" for your workforce.Head to their website to sign up.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Most New Yorkers and many of the 63 million people who visit New York each year as tourists will connect the words "Cookshop," "Shuka," and "Vic's" as outstanding restaurants and part of a chain owned by Marc Meyer. But Meyer admittedly is more than a cook. His vision of community, food and the people who prepare and serve it drove him to not only engage his workers at a deeper level than most owners, but to write a fascinating book: Voices from the Kitchen: Personal Narratives from New York's Immigrant Restaurant Workers. (Beacon Press). In this episode of "Soul of the City" Meyer talks about this and his commitment to sourcing locally, seasonally and sustainably – and the importance of immigrants to it all! In this edition of The INTELLIGENT Community Interview, ICF Co-Founder Lou Zacharilla speaks with Marc Meyer, author, "Voices from the Kitchen."

But with so many to explore we started with a recap of the recent barnstorming success of Barnes Fragrance Fair...We talked through Suzy's choices for her sold-out talk with Alice du Parcq (and if you couldn't go or were there but missed any of the talks: never fear! They were all recorded and will be on the Barnes Fragrance Fair YouTube channel when they're all edited. We'll let you know when they're up, but meanwhile you can watch last year's talks there, including the ‘Top of the morning' show we so loved doing.)Suzy chose:Shloksha Soapy HeartBased in Tunbridge Wells, founder Jay says “Moving from India to the UK in mytwenties, I do miss the immersive sensory joys found in everyday Indian culture.Sourcing and working with traditional Indian materials connects me to mychildhood—scented trips down memory lane!”Opening notes - red mandarin and grapefruitHeart notes - jasmine, ylang ylang, green grass and saffronBase notes – sandalwood, fruity musk, oudh“You slip on your fine silk robe, gorgeously patterned with tropical birds, andquietly pad along the hallway to the bathroom. Closing the heavy wooden doorwith a sigh of relief, you lean over the sparkling slipper bath, slide the plug inand turn both taps on full. Glittering beads of water dance in the diffuse light.You perch your hip on the side of the bath as your ears fill pleasantly with theroar and tumble of the cascading water. Your life is very busy and demanding,and you get few opportunities to indulge yourself. But a long, quiet bath is oftenwhat you crave.Your eyes glance along the rich turquoise tiled shelf as you ponder how to scentyour watery sanctuary. Antique crystal jars hold delicately fragrant floralsalts—you carefully lift their lids- one by one - and their enchanting perfumesmingle with the steam. But they're perhaps not exactly what you're in the moodfor.A waxed paper tablet of old-fashioned, handmade soap sits demurely at theend of the shelf. Fresh, brand new and unopened. Your fingertips softly caressthe crackling paper as you carefully unwrap it and the dense, creamy pebbledrops into your silken lap.You dip your hands briefly in the warm bath water and rotate the smooth soap inyour hands.

Infused with caramel, tonka,vanilla, and benzoin, this creamy haze lends the amber structure an irresistibleand unforgettable signature. A fragrance that draws you in… and keeps youclose."‘With Ambre Latte, Jordi Fernandez offers a unique and exquisitely refined takeon indulgence.​ The fragrance unfolds in a vaporous cloud of almond milk,delicately infused with roasted tonka bean.​ Indulgence settles in — irresistibleyet perfectly controlled — as a luscious dulce de leche caramel melts into theenveloping softness of vanilla, benzoin and white musks.​Very soon, the fragrance reveals its duality. Beneath the milky caress emergesan intensely addictive woody-amber alchemy. Ambrofix, Georgywood,Akigalawood and white sandalwood structure the composition, infusing it withdepth, sophistication and modernity. They extend the trail with sensual richness,leaving an unforgettable imprint — the perfect balance between gourmandiseand addiction.'Escentric Molecules Cologne OneSuzy described this as feeling like a Cologne that's been whizzed up in a SodaStream machine! The brand says: ‘Cologne One captures the freshness of a ginand tonic in a single, sparkling gesture: effervescent, bright, unmistakably clean.The fragrance lives in its top notes: juniper for the gin, lime and citrus for lift, atouch of bergamot and mandarin, a whisper of ginger for a delicate spiciness,and a hint of cucumber's neutrality to enhance the crispness without becomingliteral. It is freshness concentrated, transparent, and immediate.The heart remains understated: iris, rose, and hedione offer just enoughstructure to support the top note, allowing the bright citrus and juniper to linger.The dry down is linear, calm, and unobtrusive: Ambroxan, Iso E Super, and atrace of musk. Nothing competes, nothing distracts.“We have a very different approach to fragrance, so our first cologne capturesthe very unique and wonderful freshness of a gin and tonic. I think it's quite newwith that sort of freshness. It's the idea of the sparkling, effervescent gin andtonic first scent, this sort of your nose in the drink,” says perfumer Geza Schoen.Cologne One is a cologne reimagined by Escentric Molecules: 15% concentrationfor lasting freshness without leaving an overwhelmingly fragrant impression.

In this episode of Retail War Games, I sit down with Matthew Holman, the founder of Subscription Prescription. Matthew is a leading expert in helping brands scale their recurring revenue models and build sustainable, multi-channel growth systems. We dive deep into why the retail landscape has completely flipped over the last few years. Matthew explains why direct-to-consumer brands are now racing to get onto physical retail shelves to escape skyrocketing digital customer acquisition costs and build more predictable cash flows. We also crack the code on modern platform trends, discussing the true power of TikTok Shop, the role of Amazon, and why brands must treat new digital channels with a focused, purposeful startup mindset. Key Strategic Insights from our conversation: The Retail Flip: Why direct-to-consumer brands are moving to brick-and-mortar retail to secure predictable purchase orders and escape volatile digital ad costs. The Reality of the Digital Market: Understanding that direct-to-consumer e-commerce only makes up 20% to 25% of all retail sales in the U.S., with half of that market completely dominated by Amazon. Purposeful Multi-Channel Strategy: Why massive retail brands shouldn't just take giant, blind swings on digital, but instead approach new platforms with careful, starter-sized experiments. Cracking TikTok Shop: How to approach TikTok as a content-driven discovery platform, even if your product isn't traditionally "visual" or exciting. Two Distinct Industries: Why traditional brick-and-mortar operations and modern e-commerce require completely separate tech stacks, marketing strategies, and expertise.
