  • Kat Colling’s voice…NO

    I actually think this is a wonderful podcast overall but every time they let Kat Collings speak, it’s time to switch off. This woman sounds like she has peanut butter stick in the back of her mouth. Sorry for the low rating but please no more.

  • Inspiring!

    Thank you for sharing so many inspiring stories! It’s expanded my perception of what could be and how even the most successful women have felt imposter syndrome. They chose to brave and bold anyways, betting on themselves!

    Can we please have an episode on Hillary’s story?!

Q: How did your earlier experiences at brands like Calvin Klein and Louis Vuitton influence your approach at Coach?
They taught me the importance of balance between heritage and experimentation, and to always look for opportunities to learn from the factory floor to the showroom. This shaped my belief in evolving the brand without losing its core identity.

Q: Paris summer moment you mentioned—what happened there and how did that influence Táche?
She recounts a family trip to Paris where the idea for pistachio milk sparked after realizing no plant-based option used her favorite family nut, and how that seed led to experiments back in New York to create a pistachio milk that tasted great and used less water.
