On this episode of Talking Shop we are joined by Phil James, founder and Creative Director of the contemporary heritage clothing brand &SONS. Phil began his career behind the lens as a commercial advertising photographer, working with global brands to hone a distinct visual language. But in 2016, he decided to step out from behind the camera to build a brand of his own. Today, we're discussing what it means to approach the fashion industry as a self-taught outsider, and the reality of moving from a world where you control the final visual image to one dictated by physical supply chains. We also delve into how &SONS is navigating a tough trading environment with soaring production costs, how to resist the pressure to chase short-term trends, and the actual operational difference between managing a transactional customer base and fostering a true global community.

In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, Craig Smith and I sit down for a candid conversation about life, growth, and the importance of taking risks. We discuss Craig's decision to step into a new career opportunity, the fear and uncertainty that come with major life changes, and why so many people never give themselves the chance to see what's possible because they're unwilling to bet on themselves. This wasn't a structured episode with one main topic. Just two friends talking shop, sharing lessons, and exploring what it means to pursue growth even when it's uncomfortable. If you've ever felt stuck, scared to make a move, or needed a reminder to trust yourself, you'll enjoy this conversation.   Next Level Links: Work With a Nutrition Coach - Schedule A Consultation Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com   Partner Links: Try Thrive Lab Free For One Month - Start Here Order Supplements From Transform - Shop Here Order Supplements From Cured Nutrition - Shop Here Order Supplements From Legion (use code keynutrition for 20% off first order) - Shop Here   Be Featured on the Show: Apply to be a live calller guest on the show - Submit Application Here Submit Q&A Questions to be read live on the show - Submit Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Connect with us on Instagram: Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Co-Host Craig Smith - @greatestdaymindset Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition

On this episode of Talking Shop, I'm joined by Dan Cate, CEO and Founder of SoldThrough. Dan is a heavyweight retail executive who has spent decades steering the merchandising and digital operations of America's most iconic retail institutions, from Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale's to Century 21 and Lord & Taylor. Today, through his platform SoldThrough, Dan helps international fashion brands cross the Atlantic and crack the notoriously brutal U.S. retail landscape. We're breaking down his journey from the shop floor to the C-suite, the operational indicators that prove a brand is truly ready for international expansion, and how to navigate a fragmented American market without destroying your margins. We also discuss how to balance localised inventory with central efficiency, and the one non-negotiable metric that tells you a product has found genuine market fit.

Has grading become the hobby? And which basketball company actually owns the future: Topps or Panini?PSA says it has a 10 million card backlog and is suspending several submission levels. At the same time, a Victor Wembanyama Black Prizm 1/1 sells for $5.11 million, a LeBron James Topps Chrome Superfractor Auto sells for $1.26 million, and the hobby's most famous missing redemption card finally resurfaces.This week the guys debate whether grading has become more important than collecting, whether Panini is really losing relevance, and what collectors are actually paying for when million-dollar cards change hands.Plus, Topps and Panini both launch new basketball products in the same week, leading to a bigger question: are collectors chasing cards, or chasing outcomes?In This EpisodePSA pauses multiple grading tiers10 million card backlog discussionTopps Signature Class BasketballPanini Signature Series BasketballBlind Ranking: Hobby AccomplishmentsWembanyama Black Prizm 1/1 sells for $5.11MLeBron Chrome Superfractor Auto sells for $1.26MThe Mantle redemption has finally been foundBiggest grading fee in Grand Slam historyJosh's Crazy Stat of the WeekFeatured Stories & LinksPSA Suspends Submission Levelshttps://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1606829914782841&id=100063675425060Victor Wembanyama Black Prizm 1/1 Sells for $5.11 Millionhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/sportscardsnonsense/permalink/1932782434373082/LeBron James Topps Chrome Superfractor Auto Sells for $1.26 Millionhttps://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1441067771395889The Mantle Redemption Has Been Foundhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/sportscardsnonsense/permalink/1934653164186009/Topps Signature Class Basketballhttps://www.topps.com/pages/topps-signature-class-basketballPanini Signature Series Basketballhttps://www.paniniamerica.net/2025-26-panini-signatures-series-basketball-trading-card-box-hobby.htmlBecause every card has a story.#talkingshoppodcast #SportsCards#CardCollecting#VictorWembanyama#LeBronJames#PSA#PaniniPrizm#ToppsChrome#SportsCardInvesting#BasketballCards

Did Aaron Judge just enter all-time territory? And are collectors too early… or already too late on Wembanyama?Aaron Judge's 2013 Bowman Chrome Superfractor resurfaced after 13 years and sold for nearly $840,000. That sparks a bigger question: where does Judge actually rank among Yankee legends and baseball's all-time greats?Then the guys dive into Victor Wembanyama's latest hobby headline as a game-used net from his historic 41-point, 24-rebound performance is turned into a 1/1 autograph card. Is this the future of memorabilia cards, or are manufacturers getting carried away?Plus, Grand Slam Cards is loaded with new releases this week, including Bowman Best Basketball, Topps Finest Football, FIFA Prizm Soccer, NBA Hoops Basketball, Leaf Baseball Nation, and more.And somehow the episode starts with a debate about Deadpool, Miles Morales, Harley Quinn, Mickey Mouse, and whether sports collectors forget stars faster than non-sports collectors.Because of course it does.This Episode:

On this episode of Talking Shop, I'm joined by Millie Kendall, co-founder and CEO of the British Beauty Council. For over 30 years, Millie has been a driving force in the retail landscape, instrumental in the global success of cult beauty brands and co-founder of the iconic Ruby & Millie. Today, she has shifted her focus from brand marketing to industry-wide policy at Westminster. We're discussing why beauty has become the ultimate anchor for high-street footfall, why digitally native brands are rushing into bricks-and-mortar to build trust, and how a physical store can deliver an irreplaceable moment of discovery in an increasingly AI-driven world.

On this episode of Talking Shop we are joined by Chris Doe, Marketing & Innovations Director at Pilgrim's Food Europe. With a career spanning over 15 years at FMCG giants like General Mills and Nomad Foods, Chris now oversees a portfolio including household names like Richmond and Fridge Raiders. We examine the rigorous R&D behind the new Fridge Raiders 'Grills to the theoretical frameworks for revitalising "tired" brands. We also discuss how to audit your most sacred brand assets, the evolving power dynamic between big brands and private labels, and the leadership non-negotiables required to keep a team focused when the retail landscape is shifting under their feet.

Plus: wrestling fork relics, Toy Story autos, and GameStop trying to buy eBay.The hobby officially got weird this week.We debate whether a PSA 10 1977 Luke Skywalker card selling for nearly $700,000 says more about nostalgia than modern sports cards, react to an AEW match-used fork relic that somehow became real, and try to figure out why a Pokémon card ended up sewn into a baseball glove.Plus:Mike Trout signs his first Eagles cardPanini's new Manga inserts are absolute chaosToy Story autograph cards are coming for millennial walletsGameStop and eBay somehow become hobby newsJosh gets fired up about GameStop carrying hobby boxesNew releases hitting Grand Slam this weekBig shop pulls including a Wemby auto /5Because every card has a story.

On this episode of Talking Shop, I'm joined by Ros Marshall, Managing Director of the Scottish underwear brand Molke. What started as a kitchen-table idea has grown into a global retail operation, shipping 25,000 bras a year to customers in over 76 countries around the world. We discussed Ros's personal journey through imposter syndrome, why she believes confidence is a learned skill rather than a personality trait, and why it is not difficult to balance high-level ethical accreditations with the commercial realities of the textile industry in 2026.

On this episode of Talking Shop we are joined by Nicolaas Kroone, Co-founder and Creative Director of Bloom Studios. As retailers struggle to feed an "infinite" hunger for content, Nicolaas is helping brands move beyond the bottleneck of traditional production. We discuss the rise of "logistic-free shoots," why every product needs a photorealistic digital twin, and how marketing managers are shifting from being on-set directors to orchestrators of AI systems. We also explore how to protect a brand's visual soul in a world of automation and why the "human touch" is still the only thing an algorithm can't replace.

On this episode of Talking Shop, we speak to Verity Hurd, Head of Brand Marketing at Duel. We discuss how Duel helps retailers transform organic word-of-mouth into scalable growth, and why the traditional 'influencer manager' role has fundamentally shifted in recent years. Verity shares the metrics that actually matter beyond simple reach numbers and provides a roadmap for how retailers can start building a high-impact brand advocacy strategy in today's market.

Are collectors gaining clarity—or losing control?What happens when everything starts to “make sense”?Topps got on stage and laid out the future of the hobby.Not just products — the system.Parallels are getting standardized. Products are getting cleaner. Fewer surprises. More structure. On paper, it all makes sense.But that's kind of the question…If everything starts to make sense — does the hobby get better… or just more controlled?This episode is just Michael and Jacob working through it in real time. No segments. No script. Just reacting to what Topps is actually building and what it might mean long-term.Some of it feels overdue.Some of it feels… a little too intentional.What we get into:Why parallels are being standardized (and who it really helps)The return of entry-level basketballBowman crossing into NBA + NILCarbon fiber cards (yeah… really)Why on-card autos are suddenly a bigger deal againGame-used vs “player worn” — does it even matter anymore?And the bigger question: is the hobby being simplified… or engineered?Source discussed in the episode:https://www.ludex.com/blog/trading-card-university/everything-revealed-at-the-2026-topps-industry-conference/If you made it this far — like, subscribe, leave a comment, and let us know where you land on this.Because this one's not obvious.Because every card has a story.#TalkingShopPodcast #SportsCards #Topps

Welcome back to Talking Shop with ShopSabre! In Episode 243, hosts Brandon Bombardo and Nick Peters tackle one of the most universal challenges every CNC shop owner, fabricator, and business leader faces: pressure. What if the weight of deadlines, important decisions, and growing expectations isn't a burden — but actually a privilege that signals trust, capability, and real growth in your shop? Brandon and Nick kick things off with laughs about Nick's beach vacation, saltwater disasters, and a hilarious callback to his old "Crabby Nick" grocery store mascot days. They then answer real viewer questions from the ShopSabre community: how to hide exposed screws on garage cabinetry, why square drive screws beat Phillips head, and why ShopSabre's vacuum table uses flat-bottom channels (plus smart advice on when gaskets from All Star Gasket actually make sense). The core of the episode reframes pressure as the natural byproduct of progress. As your CNC business scales — bigger jobs, more employees, larger investments, and a growing reputation — the pressure naturally increases. Brandon shares stories from his son's AAA hockey goalie journey and his own race car side hustle to show how pressure builds better systems, sharper focus, and stronger leadership. They discuss why experienced operators feel it less, how to keep pressure from turning into anxiety, and practical ways to manage it: prioritize ruthlessly, build repeatable processes, trust your team, and stay grounded in facts instead of emotion. If you run a CNC machine, own a manufacturing shop, or lead a growing team, this episode will completely shift how you view the "heavy" parts of the job. Pressure isn't random — it follows your growth. Embrace it, and it becomes the force that creates real success.

On this episode of Talking Shop i'm joined by Cristian van Tienhoven, CEO for Europe at Global-e. As retailers face a wave of new eu regulations and shifting tariffs, scaling internationally has never been more complex. We discuss why local payments are the key to conversion, the untapped ‘rest of world' opportunity, and how the ‘merchant of record' model allows brands to grow globally while protecting their margins in 2026.

Welcome back to Talking Shop with ShopSabre! In Episode 242, host Brandon Bombardo and co-host Nicholas dive deep into one of the most important — yet often overlooked — drivers of every successful CNC shop and growing business: authentic leadership. Instead of textbook theory, this episode explores real-world leadership lessons taught on the manufacturing floor every day. From earning respect (not demanding it) to leading from the front, resolving conflict productively, making calm decisions under pressure, and building a team culture where people actually want to show up and succeed — Brandon and Nick share practical insights you can apply immediately in your shop, your business, and even your personal life. Whether you run a CNC router, plasma, or laser operation, manage a team, or simply want to become a better leader, this conversation delivers honest, no-fluff advice grounded in the realities of deadlines, machine breakdowns, customer demands, and daily shop-floor chaos. What you'll learn in this episode: Why true leadership is earned through participation, not titles How to handle conflict without yelling or creating fear The power of clear expectations and consistent support Why hesitation costs more than imperfect decisions How accountability paired with respect builds stronger teams Leadership principles that translate from the shop floor to family and life If you're a CNC machinist, shop owner, fabricator, or anyone in manufacturing looking to level up your leadership game, this episode is for you.

On this episode of Talking Shop, we're joined by Julian Skelly, managing partner for retail at Publicis Sapient. With over 20 years of experience transforming giants like Asda and Carrefour, Julian is an expert at moving retailers beyond the hype. We also discuss why most AI projects get stuck in ‘pilot purgatory', how to encode a brand's soul into an algorithm, and the reality of surviving a mediated digital future.

Are you a small CNC shop owner feeling like a tiny player in a massive manufacturing world? In Episode 241 of Talking Shop with ShopSabre, hosts Brandon Bombardo and "Vacation Nick" prove that small businesses aren't just surviving—they're the backbone driving real innovation, agility, and local economies.  Kicking off with a hilarious (and snowy) morning mishap story, the guys dive straight into listener Q&A: best tools for scanning boat/truck templates (Proliner scanner recommendation), securing spoil boards on CNC routers (vacuum + resurfacing wins), and why torch collision sensors beat breakaway mounts for plasma safety and uptime. Real-world CNC advice you can apply today. The heart of the episode explores the unique strengths of small manufacturers—leaner operations, faster pivots, closer customer relationships, and decision-making speed that big corporations can't match. Brandon and Nick discuss challenges like economic cycles, thoughtful scaling without losing culture, smart investing (CNC upgrades over toys), and the pride of family-run shops. They emphasize resilience, avoiding fads, staying curious about automation/tech, and believing in your ability to grow. If you've ever thought "we're not big enough," this episode flips that mindset—small shops create jobs, train talent, support communities, and often outmaneuver giants through dedication and craftsmanship. Whether you're running a garage CNC setup, family cabinet shop, or growing fabrication business, you'll walk away motivated to invest wisely, adapt to changes, and keep building something lasting.

Frustration isn't usually a sign of failure; it's often a signal that you are on the edge of growth. In this episode of Talkin Shop, Brandon and "The Highlighter" Nick Peters dive deep into the psychology of business frustration. We explore why reaction without clarity can lead to disaster and how to transform that "daily grind" pressure into fuel for your company's expansion. Whether you are a shop owner, a manager, or an employee, learning to separate emotion from information is a critical skill for long-term success. Before we get to the main topic, we answer your technical CNC questions! We cover the best practices for chip removal when cutting aluminum, strategies for holding down live-edge slabs for surfacing, and the controversial reason why we choose not to use bellows on our machine bearings.

Stop trying to fix chaos with a "panic hire" and start building a scalable business through the power of automation. In this episode of Talking Shop, Brandon and Nick are joined by Curtis from HR to pull back the curtain on the harsh reality of hiring in today's unpredictable labor market. We explore why the old model of "hiring more people to grow" is increasingly fragile and why successful shops are prioritizing process over traditional staffing to achieve consistent results. Hiring is harder than ever, with smaller labor pools, rising wage expectations, and higher turnover rates. We discuss how to identify quality employees and, more importantly, how to support them with tools like CNC machines and software that eliminate burnout and reduce costly rework. Automation doesn't replace the human element; it protects your business from volatility and empowers your team to work smarter, not harder. Whether you are struggling to find skilled welders or trying to figure out if you should finance your next piece of equipment, this episode provides a roadmap for building a business that can withstand the realities of 2026. Join us as we discuss the "story" behind a resume, the value of being trainable, and why consistency is the ultimate secret to growth.

Sign up for my newsletter. -----  In this Talking Shop episode, I sit down with Rubin Miller for an unscripted conversation about why market forecasts fail, how advisors actually set return assumptions, and where investors most often misunderstand risk.
