Podcast appearances and mentions of Urban Outfitters

In this episode of Rethink Retail, recorded live from Shoptalk Europe in Barcelona, Nick Harbaugh sits down with Julia Xu, CEO and Founder of not one, but two trailblazing companies: Wayo, an AI-powered product sourcing platform, and Multitasky, a bold lifestyle brand making waves in traditional retail.

Lucy Jeffrey is the founder of Bare Kind and Candid Founders, two purpose-driven brands built from a mission to make commerce more meaningful. Bare Kind is a bamboo sock company that donates 10% of profits to save the animal featured on each sock, while Candid Founders is both a YouTube channel and growth agency helping consumer brands scale on Faire, a leading B2B wholesale marketplace.Before launching either company, Lucy worked in banking and began experimenting with ecommerce by selling reusable straws, t-shirts, and other sustainable products. Her viral turtle-themed content and strong brand mission helped Bare Kind stand out in the crowded DTC space and grow into a seasonal powerhouse, with 70% of revenue landing in Q4. But with a growing team and cash flow challenges, Lucy co-founded Candid Founders to help other brands succeed on Faire while smoothing Bare Kind's revenue curve.Whether scaling to 1,000+ retail accounts, turning her backend team into a profitable service business, or shutting off paid Meta ads to improve profit margins, Lucy brings a sharp, experimental mindset to Ecommerce. She shares insights on building sustainable DTC brands, making wholesale work, and running two businesses with her husband without relying on outside capital or paid ads. Her story is a masterclass in founder adaptability.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:40] Intro[00:55] Launching with purpose before product clarity[02:50] Choosing a name that allows you to pivot[03:40] Starting with dropshipping to test demand[05:37] Hiring help before scaling ad spend[08:09] Comparing traction between early SKUs[10:07] Electric Eye, Social Snowball, Portless, Reach & Zamp[16:29] Avoiding traps in commoditized markets[18:48] Educating retailers to build trust fast[22:25] Listening to demand before launching services[24:07] Turning internal wins into client services[26:22] Plugging the DTC and wholesale channelsResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeFaire growth agency that helps brands thrive candidfounders.com/Comfy, vibrant animal socks that save the world's animals barekind.co.uk/Follow Lucy Jeffrey linkedin.com/in/lucy-jeffreySchedule an intro call with one of our experts electriceye.io/connectDrive revenue through affiliates & referrals socialsnowball.io/honestRevolutionize your inventory and fulfillment process portless.com/Level up your global sales withreach.com/honest  Fully managed sales tax solution for Ecommerce brands zamp.com/honestIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Die Reaktion auf die meisten seit gestern Abend gemeldeten Ergebnisse ist positiv, mit den Aktien Advance Auto Parts, Analog Devices, Snowflake und Urban Outfitters besonders fest. Zoom tendiert nach den Zahlen kaum verändert. Wie von vielen an der Wall Street hat das Repräsentantenhaus die Reconciliation Bill genehmigt. Damit nimmt die geplante Steuer- und Ausgabenreformen die erste wichtige Hürde. Im zweiten Schritt muss nun der Senat den eigenen Gesetzesentwurf verabschieden, um dann im dritten Schritt eine gemeinsame Einigung zwischen beiden Häusern zu erreichen. Das Repräsentantenhaus sieht Kürzungen der Medicare-Ausgaben von $500 Mrd. vor. Das Krankenversicherungsprogramm für Personen über 65 Jahren, wie auch für Behinderte. Schätzungsweise 8 bis 13 Millionen Amerikaner laufen Gefahr ihre Krankenversicherung zu verlieren, was weitreichende Folgen haben wird. Trotz der Kürzungen sollen die Reformen die Defizite auf Sicht der nächsten 10 Jahre um rund $3 Billionen anfachen. Dementsprechend ziehen die Renditen der langlaufenden US-Staatsanleihen heute weiter an, was in Folge den Aktienmarkt belastet. Die Renditen 30-jähriger Staatsanleihen erreichen das höchste Niveau seit 2007.

 WHAT WAS SAID “The era of followers is dead.”Urban Outfitters' Head of Brand Marketing and Communications, Cyntia Leo, wrote the obit for follower counts during one of the first sessions Monday morning: How Brands Are Winning With Creator-Led Strategies in 2025.“This is really a time about the algorithm,” said Cyntia. “Creators help us be in the algorithm, not just being in the platform.”The idea that follower count no longer holds the value it once did echoed throughout the week.Prop CEO Joseph Perelli drove the point home in a panel on creators and performance marketing: “Obsessing over followers is the biggest mistake marketers make.” Between fake followers, poor audience targeting, and limited organic reach, follower count is no longer a reliable metric — for creators or brands.Takeaway: If leadership still insists on hiring creators based on follower count, it's time to let them know the game has changed. Smart marketers are prioritizing deep content alignment and leveraging creator content for paid media opportunities.Now that our feeds have changed from who we're following, to what they're talking about, follower count matters less than a topic alignment, said Sprout Social Vice President, Outbound Product Management, Brittany Hennessy.Brittany pointed to Loewe and how they opted for the “cucumber guy,” TikToker Logan Moffitt, instead of a fashion or beauty creator when the company launched a cucumber-scented candle.There's a lot of conversation about topic-based marketing, agreed Nya-Gabriella Parchment, UTA's Head of Brand Partnerships.When you understand what your consumer is talking about, what they're truly interested in, what movies they're watching, what podcasts they listen to, that's when, “you can understand who's leading that conversation to tap into and work with,” Nya recommended.Takeaway: Topic alignment is another way of saying ‘Don't focus on follower count.' Instead, brands should prioritize creators who are actively driving conversations around consumer interests — like cucumbers.I got to speak with Lindsey Gamble and Adweek's Senior Tech Reporter, Kendra Barnett, on a panel titled: Creator Content Only Belongs on Social... Or Does It?Spoiler alert: Creators are being effectively deployed up and down the funnel and across every channel.“Creator-featured ads do much better,” echoed Snapchat's Global Head of Public Figures, Francis Roberts, during a panel on Building a Brand That Lasts.The benefit of creators isn't purely for advertising purposes. With more brands launching personality-first projects — like Substack newsletters — creators are becoming even more indispensable for their creative skills and audience insights: these are partners who understand the type of content audiences want to consume!Takeaway: You're not just paying for assets or access to an influencer's audience, said Lindsey: “What I'm really excited about is bringing them in as consultants, bringing them in as creative partners. That leads to more co-creation and collaboration, as opposed to just, ‘Here's a brief, go create a video.'“You want to lead with a content-first approach.”“Brands want to be humanized, and creators can help them.”

Once a music magazine that competed with Rolling Stone to define cool in the pre-internet era, Spin is no longer really a magazine. Yes, it has brought the magazine (and Bob Guccione Jr) back, but Spin is an IP company now. It puts on Spin Sessions events, sells t-shirts at Urban Outfitters, licenses its archive for streaming projects, and runs a record label with Randy Jackson. CEO Jimmy Hutcheson explains how a magazine brand has moved on to become a cultural brand that exerts influence (and monetizes) beyond its pages.

In this episode of the Startup CPG Podcast, Grace Kennedy chats with Marilyn Yang, co-founder and CEO of Popadelics—the first-of-its-kind crunchy shiitake mushroom chip brand. Marilyn shares the story of how she and her husband turned a pandemic-era idea into a nationwide retail brand, detailing their journey from finance to CPG, and the behind-the-scenes grind of product development, branding, pivoting from DTC to retail, and navigating funding without losing creative control. She dives into how they created bold, edgy branding to change perceptions around mushrooms, launched with eye-catching flavors like Rosemary + Salt and Twisted Thai Chili, and scaled the brand through demos, trade shows, and sheer hustle. Plus, she shares what it's like getting on shelves at places like Whole Foods, Urban Outfitters, and even airport stores, all while building a company rooted in a bigger mission to make all mushrooms—culinary and psychedelic—mainstream. Follow along for more founder stories and behind-the-scenes startup wisdom—tune in now!Listen in as they share about:Popadelics Founding StoryFlavor DevelopmentInitial Launch StrategyGo-to-Market StrategyFunding & Self-FinancingPitching & Investor ReadinessBiggest Challenges and Future GoalsEpisode Links:Website: https://popadelics.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/popadelics/ Don't forget to leave a five-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you enjoyed this episode.

We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!Guest: Sandy Stein, founder of Retail Speak, and TRR contributorWhat makes a retail brand resilient? It starts with visionary leadership that sees the business holistically balancing merchandising expertise and creativity with financial discipline. Urban Outfitter CEO and founder Richard Hayne has a merchant-first mentality and leads the organization with strategic pivots to align with changing consumer preferences while maintaining brand integrity. Join Shelley and strategic visionary Sandy Stein as they discuss how Urban Outfitters has maintained a customer-centric culture, showing patience in stark contrast to aggressive scaling models that have led many other retailers to overexpansion and subsequent painful contraction. Surviving a series of market disruptions, like Amazon's and Walmart's fashion plays into the contemporary market, Urban Outfitters has remarkable agility in navigating both headwinds and tailwinds. It stands as a compelling case study in adaptive strategy and vertical integration. Listen and learn how Hayne's holistic approach to brand management, built on merchandising expertise rather than pure financial orientation, delivers a sustainable future for Urban Outfitters.For more strategic insights and compelling content, visit TheRobinReport.com, where you can read, watch, and listen to content from Robin Lewis and other retail industry experts, and be sure to follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.

In this week's episode, we're re-airing one of our top episodes with Cassandra Thurswell, the founder of KITSCH, a global brand that creates eco-friendly hair care and beauty accessories for women. Cassandra came from a small town in Wisconsin to Los Angeles with the hopes of creating something meaningful in her life. But before launching her own business, she did whatever it took to make ends meet from working at a cupcake shop to crafting jewelry and babysitting. After seven failed attempts at various businesses, the idea for Kitsch was born. She started by hand-making her first product which was a basic but innovative knotted hair-tie in her tiny LA apartment. She was making cold calls, doing door to door sales, and whatever she could to get the brand out there all without any outside funding. Fast forward to today, the company has evolved into a multi-million dollar brand that's sold in over 27 countries and across 20,000 retail locations worldwide. You can find them at Ulta, Sephora, Whole Foods, Urban Outfitters, to name a few.In this week's episode, Cassandra walks us through how following her gut over the years has truly been the key to her success – from couch-surfing to saving money for her business to working different jobs to learn the industry. She also talks about how every single job she's had in the past has helped her become a stronger business person and was the "mini MBA" she needed. She then dives into the challenges of the early days of fulfilling orders in her one-bedroom apartment and the creative tactics she used to get into retailers without any connections. We also talk about the biggest learnings she's had over 14 years of running Kitsch, the power of micro-intentions and micro-habits when creating your dream life, & so much more. In this episode, we'll talk to Cassandra about:* Her thoughts on manifestation and its role in creating success. [05:42]* The power of visualization. [13:43]* Moving to Los Angeles, being broke, living on people's couches & hustling in life. [17:49] * Kitsch creation journey and inspiration. [30:05]* Having various jobs to make ends meet and how she self-funded Kitsch. [33:54]* Retailer entry without connections. [37:44]* Getting her first large purchase order. [40:08]* The power of vision boards and future journaling. [44:07]* Her unique partnership approach [51:41]* Experiencing postpartum anxiety. [59:12]* Establishing boundaries and leaning into change & personal growth. [01:01:35]* Definition of success and how it changed over the years. [01:04:37]* Daily routine and micro intentions. [01:09:14]* The messy truth in launching a business.

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

“When you have an idea, you should capture that idea and put it somewhere, because you're basically training your brain that ideas are important and I value them.”Finding your own brand of creativity and being unique can feel like a struggle in the beginning stages of your career. This week, Kyle Scheele joins us to share some tips on that topic drawn from his own journey of using his crazy ideas to stand out. Kyle started his career early in life when he landed a t-shirt line through Urban Outfitters across the USA and Canada. Over the course of his speaking career, Kyle has gone viral on TikTok multiple times, spoken to both youth audiences and corporate events, and over time switched paths from primarily speaking in the education space to working with larger corporate events. He believes his approachability, understandable advice, and genuine entertainment have taken him to the next level, and he's here to tell you how to develop those things for yourself.However, at every stage of his career (like most speakers), Kyle has had his doubts about the risks he took. During this episode, Kyle talks about how he overcame those fears by knowing and believing that he had talking points that worked. Trial and error can be difficult to embrace, but it's a key part of learning how to grow as a world-renowned speaker. This is a great episode with a lot of practical lessons for speakers — both new and veteran alike. You'll learn:How to find where your story intersects with the marketWhy you need to question assumptionsThe importance of honest feedbackWhy you should lean on the content in your speech that worksHow to act on your ideasAnd much, much more!“To be human is to be creative.”Episode Resources:Kyle's WebsiteGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Aliett Buttelman and Nina LaBruna launched Fazit Beauty in January 2022. When it first debuted, the brand focused on various skin-care patches. In the years since, it has built a following on TikTok (76,000 followers) with products like oversized acne patches, silicone scar patches and patches that help treat ingrown hairs. According to Buttelman, by October 2024, the brand had amassed around 200 million views on the app when its trajectory changed overnight. That's because, in October, Taylor Swift wore Fazit's Faux Freckle Makeup Patches to a Kansas City Chiefs game. The patches, which come in a variety of metallic hues and some sports-themed shades, apply like temporary tattoos. They launched in April 2024. Within 48 hours, the brand's site traffic spiked by over 3,500%, resulting in $1 million in sales. Last week, Fazit entered 400 CVS doors with its Gold Stardust Speckle Makeup Patches. It is also sold at Urban Outfitters and on Amazon. On the latest Glossy Beauty Podcast, Buttelman teased that a dream retailer is coming soon and noted that the experience with Swift gave her and LaBruna more confidence in negotiating such deals.

Send us a textNothing like starting your week with a call back to the 2004 Jerry Bruckheimer production, National Treasure. Now, we know things might feel a little... untethered, politically, at the moment, but we're here to remind you of a time where maybe living in America felt different? A time where Urban Outfitters had 4 foot tall dressing rooms, where a 7 foot tall man could easily take the Declaration of Independence, where Justin Bartha was getting work. You know, before Ned Stark (Sean Bean) but after Paul Serone (Jon Voight). If this movie feels nostalgic and fun but you haven't watched it since the 2000's, we recommend you do not rewatch it unless you actually are a Free Mason. Have a great week ahead and don't forget to sign up for Patreon for another episode coming Wednesday!Support the showVisit MummyDearestPodcast.com for merch and more!Follow the podcast on Instagram!Follow Sloane on Instagram!Follow Zach on Instagram!And most importantly, become a Patron and unlock hundreds of bonus episodes!

It's an election day bonus episode! Today we're gonna be digging way back in the archive to episode 4: Focusing on Margo Guryan. This was recorded in early 2019, when I was still figuring out this show's format.  At that time, it consisted of panelists with a shared interest (Andrew Dorsett and Michael Sean Coleman) nerding out about a favorite artist, and sometimes we'd get the chance to talk to the artist or somebody who was close to them. Margo Guryan passed away three years ago, and at the time of recording she did not agree to an interview, but she and I had some email correspondence that was helpful in researching her, and she put me in touch with her publisher, Jonathan Rosner, who also happens to be her stepson, who joined us about halfway through the show. I've re-edited that admittedly rough episode to make it more digestible, and at the top of the show I spoke with Jonathan again about the latest renaissance of Margo's music- two new reissues, plus a tribute album called “Like Someone I Know" which features Pearl And The Oysters, TOPS, Margo Price, Clairo and many others, available from Sub Pop and Urban Outfitters. Low Profile is supported by you on Patreon.com/lowprofile where you can sign up for flexible monthly donations that afford me the time it takes to research, record and edit this program. If you enjoy this show and can afford to contribute anything at all, it would be extremely helpful. It adds up in a big way.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that wants you to check your harnesses! This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Reid Pope (@rpopegram), comedian and Head Writer and Executive Producer of Late Stage Live (@latestagelive), a trans-led monthly late-night comedy news show on Brooklyn public access, to talk about why the 2024 highly anticipated disaster sequel Twisters Should've Been Gay.  Despite the severe underutilization of Katy O'Brian, we actually enjoyed Twisters and think the movie did a good job of showing the emotional impact and devastation of severe storms on the communities hit by them. The main character Kate, played by Daisy Edgar-Jones, is a traumatized soft-masc who spends the entire movie dodging debris, severe winds, and men while wearing a flannel over her Urban Outfitters tank top. She is literally all of us about a year before coming out and chopping off our hair.  We can honestly interpret pretty much every character in this film as gay (including the tornados!). Even the male characters are shown embracing their emotions openly and having deep camaraderie with their bros, something not typically highlighted by action movies. We can't help but ship Javi and Scott, Tyler and Boone, Dani and Lily and Kate with basically any character that isn't a man.  We know one thing for sure, Twisters Should've Been Gay. Keep up with Reid by subscribing to their weekly newsletter.

In this episode of Love at First Science Celest interviews Carling Harps on her journey as a yoga teacher and how it's taken her to create her own unique yoga mishmash, Awakening Yoga.

Karla Welch is back on the show! Karla first joined us back in 2018 on our Life Lessons mini-series to discuss her incredible styling career, her clothing brand, xKarla, and more. Since we last chatted, Karla founded The Period Company, which offers affordable period products, including reusable pads and absorbent underwear in a variety of styles and fabrics. The brand is sold at retailers such as Walmart, Urban Outfitters, and Amazon, and has donated over 1 million pairs of period underwear as part of its effort to end period poverty worldwide. In addition to her company, Karla also continues to style an enormous roster of talent including Justin Bieber and two of our favorite Barbie stars, America Ferrera and Greta Gerwig. On top of all that, she's also a MasterClass teacher, founder of the styling app Wishi, and co-founder of the creative studio The Welch's Creative.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
