Congrats You Graduated...What's Next? With Marisa Strazza

Volume Up by The Tease

33:58

In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

What Does The UK Do Better...James Bond, Tea And Hair Extensions - with Victoria Lynch 55:42

5天之前55:42

55:42

Interview with Victoria Lynch: Victoria Lynch’s, Founder of Remi Cachet, career began with a passion for styling hair for friends and family at the age of 14. Her journey started as a young teenager with a small “home salon” where she spent afternoons doing hair post-school. She had a six month waiting list at one time, all appointments taking place in a spare bedroom at her parents home. As her passion evolved, Victoria spent years researching, learning and experimenting with extensions—completing training courses in levels 1, 2 & 3 in hairdressing and taking part in business courses at a local university. Shortly after in 2003, Additional Lengths was born – a depiction of her drive and passion to change the extension industry. Years later, Remi Cachet launched in 2013 to offer high-quality haircare & extensions to the marketplace. Remi Cachet was born from Victoria’s 30+ years of experience in the hair industry with accessibility, quality, and sustainability in mind, after discovering a gap in the marketplace for quality and integrity in proper care + high-performing extensions. She spent years growing her education in hairdressing fields, and made it her life mission to discover more efficient ways to install extensions, having access to a wide range of shades, while upholding high standards and ethical sourcing practices. Remi Cachet is now an established, ever-growing business offering multi-award-winning professional quality hair extensions, accessories, styling tools, and aftercare products to service everything from the application to ongoing aftercare and replacement. The brand is on a mission to empower hair extensionists (and consumers) with sustainable, valuable hair solutions that feel natural. With a self-taught, determined mindset, Victoria continues to commit her knowledge and vast resources to drive and expand the extensions + haircare market.

Traci’s career started in 1992 when she was doing fashion commercials, work for TV stations and video B movies. However, Traci’s big break came when she was working on The Witch and The Lighthouse , both directed by Robert Eggers. Traci’s collaboration with Eggers on these productions landed her the position on Nosferatu , Traci’s third feature with this director. Traci was not always aware that her passion for makeup would turn into a career. She attended school in a small program and a lot of her experience has come from self-teaching and repetition. Today, Traci’s work is multifaceted, from beauty makeup to eerie and grimy special effects makeup as seen in Nosferatu . Traci has been recognized for her work in the past receiving a few Canadian Screen Award nominations and winning the CSA for Best Makeup in 2022 for her work on the film Night Raiders. However, her most prestigious nomination to date has come from her work on Nosferatu , as Traci and her team have been nominated for the Oscar for best makeup and hairstyling.

Where He Comes From, What He's Teaching, & Where He's Going - with Vernon François 1:06:35

27天之前1:06:35

1:06:35

Interview with Vernon Francois: Vernon Francois is a world-renowned celebrity hairstylist, as well as an artist and educator on the Ulta Beauty Pro Team. He is also the owner of haircare brand, VERNON FRANCOIS Haircare, an award-winning vegan and certified cruelty-free product line. The brand's design elements are centered around ‘intuitive color coding and visual icons’ to simplify the navigation process for consumers, an idea that stemmed from Vernon’s journey with dyslexia. Since childhood Vernon has always had a passion for hair and today he specializes in all textures and types. Throughout his career, Vernon has emphasized the importance of embracing your hair texture and has shown this in all of his high-fashion, celebrity red-carpet looks. His passion began while growing up in a Rastafarian family where hair was a symbolic part of his childhood and relationship with his mother. This passion and the lack of inclusion for different hair textures in the UK at the time inspired Vernon to start his brand. Vernon has a wide clientele and has achieved global publicity for a few of his looks, for example, his work with Serena Williams on the cover of Vanity Fair. Although he is a celebrity stylist, Vernon’s influence has reached people at home too. His attention to all hair textures has helped individuals feel seen and gives people all over the world a sense of confidence, something that was hard to achieve before you could see someone on the red carpet who had similar features as you. In 2023, Vernon won the Hollywood Beauty Award. Today, Vernon is the newest Global Ambassador for OLAPLEX. Like all of his other projects, Vernon will use this partnership to continue to empower individuals with coily, curly, wavy, or straight hair, and give them tips to style with ease.

Matrix's Iconic Brand Transformation. The Who, What & Why with Andrew Edwardson 57:11

Sponsored by milk_shake X Hello Salon Pro https://thetease.shop/products/hello-salon-pro-subscription-box Interview with Andrew Edwardson Andrew Edwardson is the Global Brand President of Matrix . Matrix is a leading professional brand whose mission is to elevate its users through a unique portfolio of products for all hair types and all humans. Since assuming this role two years ago, Andrew has refocused the vision of the brand itself – harnessing and expanding upon its pioneering 44-year legacy to connect with the next generation of consumers and stylists. Throughout his 15-year international career in the beauty industry, Andrew has been instrumental in unlocking the potential of and turning around brands and the categories within. His expertise in luxury brand management, product development, and communications reinvigorated Kérastase to become the #1 luxury hair brand in the industry with iconic products Blond Absolu, and Genesis. He has also worked on industry legend Maybelline, supporting pillars like Fit Me and reviving the complexion category in the post-pandemic decline with new star products like SuperStay 24H Skin Tint and the recently launched Sunkisser liquid blushes. With Matrix, Andrew has the same ambition: for this iconic institution to take its rightful place as the love brand for the next generation. And with that in mind, he is spearheading the modernization of founder Arnie Miller’s vision, celebrating Matrix as a brand to elevate, inspire, and bring joy to both new and existing consumers and stylists. His renewed focus on haircare is highlighted by the launch of star range Food For Soft (already top 10 in hydration in the market), as well as the new Instacure Build-A-Bond repair range that delivers one billion bonds in every bottle to fight damage.
