On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we take a look at the competition between Warby Parker and Google's soon-to-launch AI-powered smart glasses and the established competitor, Meta and Ray-Ban. The latter has already sold 2 million units. We also discuss the appointment of Rosie Huntington-Whitely as the new fashion director of the Revolve-owned retailer FWRD, and the Italian investigation into the Swatch Company and Citizen over allegations surrounding their pricing practices. Later in the episode, we are joined by editor-in-chief Jill Manoff to dive deep into what's been going on at Versace in the last year. After the Prada deal to acquire Versace was finalized last week, the fashion industry was shocked by the abrupt ousting of creative director Dario Vitale barely nine months after he joined the brand.

Chad Dime, Co-Founder of DIFF Charitable Eyewear was raised in Los Angeles California. He was born into the eyewear industry thanks to his father who owned and operated an eyewear business for over 40 years. His dad passed down the knowledge of product design, import, manufacturing and wholesale to him throughout his entire life. On the manufacturing side, he was traveling to China by the time he was 15 years old to learn the ins and outs of what it takes to work with partners overseas. In wholesale he was attending major markets as a teenager to learn the ins and outs of what it takes to sell to major retailers both nationally and internationally. He was fortunate enough to know at that very young that he would be following in his family's footsteps. While attending college at San Diego State University he was the President of the nationally ranked SDSU Surf Team. His role there allowed him to work with many notable brands like Red Bull, Rip Curl and TOMS as he obtained sponsorship from each of these businesses. After years of building campus rep programs with these brands he learned the importance of both social media marketing along with social enterprise. The partnership with TOMS shoes was his motivation to build a business that gave back, and it became his dream to start a sunglasses brand that could help change the world. After graduating from SDSU he met his business partners. Together they began selling sunglasses at electronic music festivals across the country. It was here that they realized there was a massive void in the eyewear industry that they knew they could fill. Eager to disrupt the monopolized eyewear industry they founded DIFF with a mission to create affordable designer eyewear that gives back. In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:00] Intro[00:50] Blending value and mission to drive impact[04:00] Partnering purpose with product[06:09] Leveraging past experiences for team balance[08:56] Nurturing partnerships for smarter growth[11:44] Stay updated with new episodes[11:55] Embedding responsibility into brand DNA[14:11] Sponsors[19:43] Influencer partnerships for early marketing strategy[22:54] Prioritizing finance to avoid early pitfalls[24:57] Understanding finances for loss prevention[26:06] Highlighting first products for brick and mortar[28:42] Following your why to create impactResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on Youtube www.youtube.com/c/HonestEcommerce?sub_confirmation=1Charitable designer sunglasses that give back www.diffeyewear.com/Follow Chad Dime www.linkedin.com/in/chad-dime-59550258Schedule an intro call with one of our experts electriceye.io/connectReach your best audience at the lowest cost! discover.taboola.com/honest/Easy, affordable coverage that grows with your business www.nextinsurance.com/honest/  Turn your domestic business into an international business www.freightright.com/honestIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Season 11, Episode 12 opens with a whirlwind week in retail news. Steve and Michael begin with the long-awaited end of the historic 43-day U.S. government shutdown, exploring what it means for holiday spending, federal workers, SNAP benefits, and travel recovery. While uncertainty lingers—particularly around health-care subsidies—the hosts note that retail may still experience ripple effects, especially among lower-income consumers living paycheck to paycheck. Still, retail sales continue to surprise: year-over-year spending climbed 5%, with clothing, sporting goods, electronics, and general merchandise leading the pack. Ecommerce also surged, with October online sales up 8.2%The hosts then unpack a series of strong earnings from standout brands. On continues its explosive growth with sales up over 30%, while Warby Parker posts a 15% sales jump and meaningful profitability improvement. The RealReal rebounds with 17% revenue growth, and Shopify reports a remarkable 32% increase, reflecting the strength of digitally enabled commerce. Another major storyline is the rapid rise of AI shopping: Adobe Analytics data now shows AI-driven traffic converting 16% higher than traditional channels, validating the momentum behind agentic commerce. In other tech news, Google announces an AI agent capable of calling stores, checking inventory, and completing purchases—a signal of seismic shifts underway in retail automation. And finally, the surprise timing behind the departure of Walmart CEO Doug McMillon prompts conversation about leadership transition, strategy continuity and the remarkable transformation he led. The second half of the episode features an in-depth interview with Julie Bornstein, Founder & CEO of Daydream—an AI-powered, chat-based shopping engine still in beta but already partnered with over 10,000 brands and 350 retailers that has already raised $50mm in capital. Julie shares her impressive career journey through Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters, Sephora, Stitch Fix, The Yes, and Pinterest. She then goes to explain how Daydream solves fashion's most enduring problem: overwhelming choice. With generative AI enabling natural-language search, Daydream aims to deliver truly personalized recommendations by combining human stylist expertise with an ensemble of specialized models that understand fabric, fit, color, and aesthetic nuance. Julie also discusses the complexity of building a platform that merges taste-based shopping with machine learning, the importance of deep brand partnerships, and why major retailers see Daydream as both a customer-acquisition engine and an AI learning lab. She previews what's ahead: emerging social features, secondhand expansion, new iOS integrations, an upcoming app launch, and broader consumer rollout.  SPECIAL OFFER for our listeners!

Send us a textWe dig into how Bluemoth reimagines the path to better hearing by pairing prescription hearing aids with a modern, direct-to-consumer experience that respects privacy, reduces stigma, and preserves clinical outcomes. Born from years of brick-and-mortar practice and leadership in statewide audiology, the model answers a pivotal question: how do we lower the barrier to entry without lowering the standard of care?We trace the spark back to 2017 as OTC legislation moved through Washington State and revealed a split within the profession. Rather than frame OTC as a threat, we explore how access can be an on-ramp, especially when so few people with hearing loss seek help. The inspiration also comes from the eyewear world—think Gentle Monster and Warby Parker—where devices double as identity and the buying journey feels inviting. The goal: bring that sense of agency to hearing technology while keeping expert fitting, counseling, and verification at the core.Step by step, we map the Bluemoth customer journey: a private virtual consultation that reduces intimidation, clear education that demystifies choices, a guided home trial for real-life testing, and a purchase pathway anchored in prescription devices and professional support. Along the way we tackle the real barrier—stigma—not just price, and show how hybrid delivery can duplicate clinical excellence at scale. If you've wondered how to combine boutique-level care with e-commerce convenience, or how to meet patients where they are without compromising outcomes, this conversation offers a pragmatic blueprint.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a colleague or friend who's been curious about hearing health, and leave a quick review so others can find it.

Q.「Patternの発音、どの音を伸ばす?」Patern実はこの回答、何と51%が間違っていました。これはいかんと思ったので、今回、この英語の「伸ばす音」について詳しく解説します!Today we'll be focusing on how to pronounce stressed syllables, so that you'll be able to clearly express what you really mean.ストレスは「伸ばす音」はい、今から皆さんが大きく勘違いしているところを言います。もうストレスやアクセントは「強調」と思わないでください!今日から「ストレスは一番伸ばす音」と言う風に覚え直してください。Patternの発音は、Paを強く言って「Pa terrrrrn」じゃなく、Paを伸ばして「Paaaa trn」ですColorの発音は、Coを強く言って「Kuh lerrrrrr」じゃなく、Coを伸ばして「Kuhhhhh lr」ですちょっと大袈裟にやってますが、しかしこれが英語のストレスの発音のコツです。Color patternsは、「タター・タターン」ってリズムじゃなく「タータ・タータ」ってリズムです。Lures with a lot of different color patternsだったら、/Loooo rz witha Lahhhh dv Deeee fren Kuhhhh lr Paaaaa tnz/ってリズムになります。はい、本日もご視聴ありがとうございました!っていう位、もう話は完結してしまったんですけど(笑)上級者でも発音は無知この発音の基礎中の基礎となる「ストレス」に関して、英語上級者の半数ほどが勘違いしていると言う事実。どう受け止めますか?というのも、このチャンネルの視聴者層ってかなりレベル高めなんですね。海外在住の日本人や、仕事で英語を使っている人などが多いみたいです。でも「ストレス」が「伸ばす音」だってことは、誰も教えてくれないわけです。ストレスはあくまで「強勢・強調」であり、それは音を「強く」発音することだと誰もが解釈するわけですから。もちろん学校でもそう教えます。「強く」発音するのだと。しかし実際の英語を聞くと、そうじゃない事がわかります。誰も「Kuh lerrr - Pa terrrnz」のように発音していないわけですから。ほぼ例外なく、ストレス音節を一番長く発音していることは確かです。そして、発音を教える時も、「強く」ではなく、「長く」という風に説明すると、より発音が自然になっていきます。ネイティブ的には、そこにリズム的なアクセントを置いて話している感覚だけみたいで、特に伸ばすという意識はないようですが、私たち日本人からすると明らかにストレス音節を「伸ばして」いるのです。音楽的に説明すると「だかだかだかだか」という同じ長さの音を並べるのではなく、「ダーカダッカ・ダーカダッカ」というふうに少しスウィングする感じです。アメリカ英語は特にそうです。ストレス音節とは?ではここまでの説明に度々登場した「ストレス」や「音節」というワードをもう少し詳しく説明します。要するに英語を話す時に「どういった単語のどの部分にストレスを置くのか?」という話です。音節(シラブル)って何?検索するとだいたいこんな感じの答えが得られます。「母音を一つ含む音のかたまり」でもこれじゃピンときませんよね?この説明で理解できるのは、英語の先生、音楽の先生、英語マニアくらいだと思います。例えば日本語を一語一句はっきり発音してみてください。「はっ・き・り・は・つ・おん・し・ま・しょう」この一つ一つの音が音節です。Pattern だと /pa-tern/ という2音節となりColor だと /kuh ler/ という2音節で発音されますそれぞれ1つずつ母音を含んでいますよね。ではこのフレーズを一語一句はっきり発音してみましょう。There're a lot of different color patterns./their uh laht ahv di fer run kuh ler pa ternz/これが音節単位の発音です。ちなみに、different は /di frent/ と2音節で発音されることも多い単語です。There'reも/their ar/と発音すると2音節できるし、1音節に省略して/their/となったりもします。このように単語も省略されたりして音節が少なくなることもあります。次に「ストレス音節」というワードですが、これは文中でアクセントを置く「音節」のことです。英語でいうと「stressed syllable」です。これが一般的に使われているワードです。これは「内容語」と呼ばれる要するに、意味を持つ単語におかれます。There're a lot of different color patterns.そして単語には決まったストレス音節があります。differentだと/di/がストレス。これは単語ごとに決まっています。/their uh laht ahv di fer run kuh ler pa ternz/この太字の箇所が「ストレス音節」です。フレーズ単位で発音する時は、ここを「伸ばして発音」するわけです。There're a lot of different color patterns./their uh laht ahv di fer run kuh ler pa ternz/どうですか?仕組みは何となく理解できましたか?要するに今日一番伝えたかったボトムラインは「このストレス音節を伸ばして発音するんだ!」ということです。そうすれば日本人特有のブツ切れ発音も多少は改善されます。ちなみに、ストレスが置かれなかった単語(there, a, of)は機能語と言って、その名の通り、何かの単語と組み合わせることで意味が生まれる類の機能的な役割を持つ単語です。ストレス発音応用練習理屈が何となくわかったなら、量をこなしてパターンを自分なりに落とし込んでいきましょう。これが理解できると、このような結果にはならないんじゃないかと思います。The surprising habits of original thinkershttps://www.ted.com/dubbing/adam_grant_the_surprising_habits_of_original_thinkers/And they ended up 「彼らはこうなった」naming the company「会社の名前」 Warby Parker.「ワービー・パーカー」They sell glasses online. 「ネットでメガネ売ってる」They were recently recognized「彼らは最近こう認知されている」 as the world's most innovative company「世界で最も革新的な会社」 and valued at over a billion dollars. 「時価総額は1000億円超え」And now?

Ed Cofrancesco, chief executive officer at International Assets Advisory, says there is a disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street, where the economy has been great for stocks but consumers have been feeling the pain. He is hoping to see rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, with the impacts trickling down to Main Street in ways that might perk up some of the soft data and consumer sentiment, and that could help people avoid falling into the trap of spiraling debt. Stefan Sharkansky, creator of The Best Third, discusses his research, which shows that the classic "4% Rule" — where retirees expect to  be set for life financially if they can live by spending no more than 4 percent of their retirement nestegg annually — has two bad potential outcomes, either premature depletion of their portfolio or unnecessary underspending. He dials in on how savers can better view their savings to make more efficient use of their nestegg. Kyle Guske, investment analyst at New Constructs, revisits Warby Parker in The Danger Zone, noting that the eyeglass maker and retailer is popular but that brand-recognition alone isn't enough to make a good stock, particularly if it leads to greater sales without any signs of profits. New Constructus first put Warby Parker in the Danger Zone when it was going through its IPO in 2021. Plus Lester Jones, chief economist for the National Beer Wholesalers Association, discusses the latest Business Conditions Survey released today by the National Association for Business Economics, which showed that economists believe the likelihood of a recession is shrinking, at least for now.

Send us a textThe commercial real estate landscape is evolving, not dying, and Mike "Big Mike" Zlotnick is at the forefront of connecting passive investors with lucrative opportunities. His simple yet powerful philosophy? "We marry money and opportunity."Contrary to popular belief, many commercial property types are thriving post-pandemic. Open-air shopping centers have become particularly attractive investments as supply remains constrained while demand grows. Even previously online-only retailers like Warby Parker have opened hundreds of physical locations, recognizing that customers still want in-person experiences for certain products. Meanwhile, industrial properties continue seeing strong demand due to reshoring initiatives and manufacturing needs. Multifamily remains a necessity-based investment that performs well across economic cycles.Not all commercial property is created equal, however. Zlotnick candidly warns about office space being a "danger zone" due to remote work trends. This level of transparency characterizes his investment approach, which prioritizes downside protection over home runs. "I would rather never lose money than make 10 home runs and 10 strikeouts," he explains, echoing Howard Marks' definition of risk as simply "the possibility of loss."For those interested in commercial real estate syndication, Zlotnick breaks down the essentials: typically, investors need to be accredited ($200,000 annual income or $1 million net worth excluding primary residence), with minimum investments around $100,000. The syndication structure allows investors to participate passively while experienced operators manage the properties, providing both cash flow and potential appreciation.Perhaps most compelling is Zlotnick's perspective on the educational journey of investing. He poses a thought-provoking question: "Are you learning to invest, or are you investing to learn?" This dual nature of investment education underscores that every decision provides valuable lessons, regardless of outcome.Ready to explore commercial real estate investing with a focus on predictable outcomes?

This special 5th anniversary episode of the Remarkable Retail podcast marks a milestone: five years of insights, disruption, and conversations with the world's most innovative retail thinkers. We reflect on the pod's origin story during the early COVID lockdowns, tracing its evolution from Steve's book Remarkable Retail: How to Win & Keep Customers in the Age of Disruption into an industry-leading show featuring CEOs, founders, and thought leaders shaping global commerce. They share highlights from an impressive guest roster, including Scott Galloway (whose episode remains the most downloaded in the show's history), Artemis Patrick of Sephora, Hal Lawton of Tractor Supply, Chris Nicholas of Sam's Club, Joe Kudla of Vuori, and Neil Blumenthal of Warby Parker. Each clip showcases the powerful themes of customer centricity, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of remarkability.The centerpiece of the episode is a deep and engaging conversation with Seth Godin, returning for his sixth visit. Seth—bestselling author of classics including Purple Cow—first inspired the very language of “remarkability” in Steve's book and the podcast itself. Here, Seth reflects on why being remarkable matters more than ever in an era where “average is dead.” He warns leaders that chasing efficiency or “suck less” strategies won't suffice; brands must create conditions where customers want to talk about them. He draws a sharp distinction between simply being “better” through incremental improvements and being truly remarkable in ways that spark conversation, loyalty, and cultural resonance.Seth also delves into the impact of AI as the biggest societal shift since electricity. Rather than reducing costs by outsourcing tasks, he urges retailers to harness AI to enable new projects and creative possibilities. He illustrates this with his latest Kickstarter project—AI-driven card decks designed to spark learning, decision-making, and storytelling. For Seth, experimentation and accessible tools are the gateway to innovation, and he emphasizes that risk-taking in the AI era costs little but delivers exponential learning.Together, Michael, Steve, and Seth explore enduring themes: knowing who it's for and what it's for, the value of continuous improvement, and why shunning non-believers is essential to staying authentic.  About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers. He is the bestselling authro of two books: Leaders Leap: Transforming Your Company at the Speed of Disruption and Remarkable Retail: How To Win & Keep Customers in the Age of Disruption.
