    Imara Jones on the Strategy Behind Trump’s Anti-Trans Ads

    Imara Jones didn't necessarily set out to be the founder of a news organization: her company, TransLash Media, grew out of a documentary series she made in 2018 about being trans in the age of Trump. The organization has been reporting on the trans community ever since — reporting that is now more urgent than ever. So today, we speak to Imara about the election and how she’s leading in this moment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Claire Mazur & Erica Cerulo Want to Give Romance the Marvel Treatment

    Claire Mazur and Erica Cerulo love a steamy, swoony romance novel. They also love a good business opportunity (Claire & Erica were behind the beloved yet shuttered retail company Of a Kind). And as they got deeper into the romance genre, they saw one: people don’t just read romance novels – they build universes around them with fan fiction and lively TikTok discussion. So Claire & Erica launched 831 Stories, an entertainment media company built around romance novels. Today, we chat about what that really means, and how they’ve learned to work together over their 14-year business partnership (spoiler: it involves learning to fight).  Learn more about your ad choices.

    Puja Patel on Leading — and Leaving — Pitchfork

Then, in January this year, Condé Nast announced that GQ would absorb Pitchfork. Immediate uproar ensued — both from fans and musicians. Puja left the company. Today, she talks about what happened, how she negotiated her own power within a legacy institution, and what’s next for music criticism. Learn more about your ad choices.

    How Celebrity Esthetician Renée Rouleau Got Big by Saying No

    Today, the start of a new special series about work. Hosted by friend of The Cut Samhita Mukhopadhyay, former executive editor of Teen Vogue and author of The Myth of Making It: A Workplace Reckoning. We’ll talk to women at the top of their fields, each with different perspectives on ambition and success. Women business leaders who pay their employees almost as much as they make. Women who have been held accountable — unfairly, or fairly — for their management decisions. And women who are very careful about the opportunities they say yes to. That’s where we start, with celebrity esthetician and skincare expert, whose products have a cult-like following: Renée Rouleau.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
