Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S18 E01: Kresten Bjørn Krab-Bjerre, Creative Director at Bang & Olufsen
Q: Do you think younger audiences connect with your message?
Yes, there is a global trend toward lasting quality and meaningful, well-crafted products, which resonates across ages and regions.
S17 E09: Ben Trodd, CEO of Four Seasons Yachts
Q: Can you talk more about the philosophy behind the guest experience?
The philosophy centers on personalization and choice, offering guests a curated menu of experiences and options that have been vetted, ensuring they feel empowered to tailor their voyage while still enjoying the brand's signature service.
S17 E09: Ben Trodd, CEO of Four Seasons Yachts
Q: What was the biggest operational test of the first sailing?
The biggest test was not just the voyage itself but translating Four Seasons' high service standards to a maritime environment, ensuring staff training, timing, and guest interactions met the brand's expectations across a smaller, shipboard setting.
S17 E06: Debbie Propst, President of Global Retail at MillerKnoll
Q: When you joined, what was the state of Herman Miller's retail operation?
Debbie explains that the brand had a very limited retail footprint—only a few stores (New York City, Tokyo) and a single US website—before the merger, and that she focused on rapidly digitizing and expanding omni-channel capabilities to scale across the MillerKnoll portfolio.
S17 E02: Ons Gherib, SVP of Design & Construction at Belmond
Q: What's the advantage of renovating existing assets versus pursuing growth?
Renovating historic assets allows deeper architectural storytelling, preserves authenticity, and enables deeper execution of a brand's vision across a network of landmarks, rather than chasing growth through asset-light strategies.
