In honor of NYFW in full swing, we’re bringing back one of our most beloved episodes with the one and only Christopher John Rogers. This episode was recorded in September 2019. If you Google the name Christopher John Rogers, a slew of articles will come up with all the same title: "Meet Christopher John Rogers, Fashion's Next Big Thing." At just 25-years-old, Christopher is one of the youngest break-out designers on the fashion scene. Although he made his Fashion Week debut just a month ago, Christopher has garnered industry-wide acclaim through his unapologetically joyful and colorful designs. His collection was met with a standing ovation and rave reviews from Vogue, WWD, and more. He was a 2019 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist, and his clothes have been worn by Michelle Obama, Rihanna, SZA, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Cardi B. In this episode, Christopher and I talk about creating glamour in a not-so-glamorous world, representation in the fashion industry, and how a Baton Rogue-born designer plans to make it big in the Big Apple. This episode was recorded in September 2019. Follow Christopher on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/christopherjohnrogers/ Love the show? Follow us and leave a review!

Jaclyn Johnson is the ultimate multi-hyphenate. By the time she was 28-years-old, she had already sold her first business No Subject, invested in multiple female owned startups, and launched her second multi-million dollar company, Create and Cultivate.

When Lara Adekoya started baking during lockdown last year, she had no idea she would quickly become the cookie queen of Los Angeles. The 28-year-old baker is the founder of Fleurs et Sel, a baked goods company that releases locally in small batches, and sells out in under five minutes. After being laid off from her job as a top salesperson at Nordstrom, Lara began baking cookies and delivering them to her friends and clients around town. What was initially a fun way to spread love during tough times quickly drew lines of fans to her at-home bakery. The demand for Fleur et Sels has catapulted her to culinary success - she’s hosted pop ups at The Palisades Village and The Grove, which the legendary Mindy Weiss (who happens to be one of her old clients!) helped produce and promote, provides cookies for Netflix sets, was just featured on Good Morning America, and is only just beginning. In this episode, Lara gives us the key takeaways from her entrepreneurial journey, from maintaining relationships to customer service lessons, and how she turned her passion into a thriving business.

If you’ve ever heard of The Pattern, the most common words you’ll hear alongside it are "scarily accurate,” or you’ve seen the video of Channing Tatum freaking out after trying it saying, “Who runs this thing?! How do you know me so well?! Someone please contact me ASAP.” Well the person to reach out to is their founder, Lisa Donovan. For those of you who are unfamiliar to the app, it’s a social app that creates accurate and detailed insights into your personality, empowering you to better understand yourself and build deeper, more authentic relationships with those around you. Prior to The Pattern, Lisa co-founded and ran the first and most viewed YouTube content company of its time, Maker Studios. She built it over a thrilling five year period which culminated in a successful sale to Disney in 2014. It was after that that Lisa began the journey of self-discovery, which became the driving force behind The Pattern. In this episode, Lisa tells us all about developing the app, how it goes beyond astrology, and Lisa gives Olivia a personalized reading from the app. We talk about a few personality traits, how to implement these concepts into real life, Saturn returns, and a whole lot more.

Although you may know Ian Somerhalder as Damon Salvatore from Vampire Diaries or Boone from Lost, he’s actually embarking on his most passionate endeavors to date as an environmentalist and humanitarian. He executive produced the environmental documentary KISS THE GROUND, which landed on Netflix in September 2020, and focuses on raising awareness and education on the positive impacts of regenerative farming for climate change. And just this weekend, he launched Brothers Bond, a bourbon company, with Vampire Diaries co-star Paul Wesley as an ode to their bourbon drinking days on the show. The company did a pre-sale which shattered records and a portion of the proceeds will go toward regenerative farming practices and combating climate change. In this episode, Ian tells us all about his new chapter, why he needs everyone to watch Kiss The Ground, and how he started a business with purpose and passion.

Carly Stein is the founder of Beekeeper’s Naturals, a company on a mission to reinvent your medicine cabinet with natural remedies from bees. After having chronic tonsillitis her whole life and a series of health scares that couldn’t be helped through traditional antibiotics, Carly discovered bee propolis, a compound produced by bees and known for its healing abilities, that completely healed her overnight. With little notoriety of propolis in the US, Carly left her job as a trader at Goldman Sachs to start what would later become a bee empire. Today, Beekeeper’s Naturals is committed to providing the cleanest, most powerful solutions to modern health issues - like brain fog and scratchy throats - through using unique remedies from the beehive, like royal jelly and propolis. They’re loved by celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Lily Collins, are sold in Targets and Whole Foods nationwide, and Carly’s landed a spot on the Forbes 30 under 30 list. In this episode, Carly gives us Hive 101 and takes us through all the beneficial compounds found in the hive (no, we’re not just talking about honey!), how she turned how passion for beekeeping into a company, and how you can play a role in saving the bees.

If you’ve been on social media in the past year, chances are you’ve been sent a Jordan Firstman skit. From banana bread’s publicist, to the guy who thinks life isn’t that much different in quarantine, to the management team behind the fly that infamously tormented Mike Pence, Jordan’s skits made our cringiest clichés into something we could all laugh at together (and single-handedly got us through quarantine). But behind the Instagram fame, Jordan’s a triple threat. He’s an actor, writer, and producer who’s worked on shows like Search Party and Big Mouth. He’s also written and starred in his own short called Call Your Father. When it comes to Hollywood, Jordan’s just getting started. In this episode, Jordan talks to us about the road to becoming a multi-hyphenate in entertainment, the cost that comes with viral fame, and how he’s ready for a second act that takes him off our phone screens and onto the silver screen.

She’s modeled in campaigns for Yeezy, Fenty, and Gucci. But at just 15-years-old, it was her cover of Drake’s Marvin’s Room that went viral and skyrocketed her music career. In 2019, she landed a record deal with Field Trip Records, a label founded by Zack Bia and James Canton in Los Angeles, where she released her hit debut songs “Ghosts” and “Strangers,” two songs that spoke candidly about her experiences with substance abuse, rehab, and loneliness. Mallory’s new music feels different yet relatable, and now at 20-years-old, she’s finally hit her stride. In this episode, Mallory and I talk about what it was like growing up in New York, from her experience as a young fencer to modeling for Rihanna. We also talk about her recent record deal and what it’s like to work with two young creatives, and their recent partnership with Warner Records.

Hilary Sheinbaum is a writer who’s contributed to publications like The New York Times, Marie Claire, New York Magazine, Forbes, and more. This week, she released her first book, The Dry Challenge: How to Loose The Booze for Dry January, Sober October, and Any Other Alcohol-Free Month, an exploration of the incredible life-changing benefits of abstaining from alcohol for one month. In 2017, Hilary and a friend waged a bet: whoever could complete Dry January would win a free dinner to any restaurant of their choice in New York City. Hilary won, and not only did she feel completely different, but she was instantly inspired to spread the word about her experience. The book, which acts more like a guidebook, provides a comprehensive plan to help you tackle Dry January, Sober October, and other booze-free challenges. Whether you’re thinking of participating in Dry January, Sober October, or want to choose a time of your own, this book walks you step-by-step through one drink-free month, from making a plan to sharing the news with friends and family (and what to do when someone tries to sabotage it) to getting back on track if you slip up and have a drink (or two). In this episode, Hilary tells us about the physical, emotional, and financial impacts of taking a month off of alcohol, what we can expect from her first book, and how this year’s Dry January will be different than any before.

When Naomi Elizée was a young girl, her vision board was filled with images most aspiring fashion girls dreamed about - a print out of the Vogue masthead, a dream title circled, and an encouraging sign that read, “You Can Do It!.” Today, she’s the Associate Market Editor at Vogue where she oversees swim, lingerie, and the French market, setting trends and liaising for the magazine with some of the biggest brands in the world. When she’s not doing that, she’s a content creator and model for brands like Free People, Nike, and Uniqlo, and the host of her podcast So… What Do You Do Again? Each week on SWDYDA, Naomi invites trailblazing women, from Precious Lee to Marjon Carlos, to join her in conversations with the goal of celebrating women of color and inspiring her young listeners to see what goes on behind the hustle.

Since its founding in 2017, Run for Something has recruited 60,000 people to run for local office across the country, endorsed nearly 1,000 candidates, and has seen the successful election of 304 of these, 54% of whom are women, 47% people of color, and 18% LGBTQ.

What do actress Sarah Ramos (Parenthood, The Affair) and writer/comedian Caroline Goldfarb (The Late Late Show with James Corden, Alone Together) have in common? They’re hysterical, devoted pop culture enthusiasts, best friends, and recently launched a podcast series called THE RENNER FILES. THE RENNER FILES, created, hosted and produced by the duo, is a new kind of true crime podcast - one that’s not a true crime at all. Instead, it’s about Jeremy Renner’s app. Why did Oscar nominated actor Jeremy Renner ever have an app? Why did he do it? Who made it? Who used it? And why did it shake the internet to its core? They set out to investigate the mystery of the app, but got so much more in return. THE RENNER FILES lays out a thrilling timeline of the app’s rise and fall through talking head interviews with key players, journalists, and unexpected Renner experts (like actor Seth Rogen). But it also tells a larger story: one about the dangerous side of celebrity fandom, the ethics of audience exploitation, the celebrity influencer complex, and the destructive power of ironic internet comedy. In this episode, we talked about their fan-filled childhoods, from Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen cruises to NSYNC concerts, to navigating the entertainment industry, and a behind the scenes look at what went into creating one of the mosts provocative podcasts out there right now. Starting September 24th, an episode of THE RENNER FILES will be released weekly on Thursdays for six weeks.
