    So excited to share my conversation with Kavi Moltz, Co-Founder and Creative Director of D.S. & Durga, the Brooklyn-born fragrance brand known for world-building through scent. We talk about building a brand around specificity and storytelling, the evolution from flea-market bottles to national retail stores, and what it looks like to grow a business as both a creative and a co-founder. We get into the magic of scent and memory, how D.S. & Durga collaborates with artists and creatives, and what Kavi is looking forward to as the brand enters a new era.

    52: MORE THAN CAKE with Natasha Pickowicz

    Today I share a conversation I had with Natasha Pickowicz, a NY-based pastry chef and author of cookbook, More Than Cake. Similar to Natasha’s cookbook title (though we do talk a little bit about baking and pastries in this episode), the core of it is really so much more than that and transcends industries. We talk about how Natasha approached the pivot she made in her late 20s to explore a career in food and restaurants, how she learned on the job and gained the skills she needed to excel from place to place, what it was like being let go in Covid and having to start from scratch and, of course, More Than Cake including how her cookbook came to be, the way she collaborated with her mom to bring the recipes to life, and a lot more.  Buy More Than Cake HERE + follow Natasha on IG! x M

    50: Back to school with Home from College's Julia Haber

    Julia Haber is the Co-Founder and CEO of Home From College, a nationwide career platform that helps students start their professional journeys (think everything from building their resumes, to getting gig work, securing internships, and a lot more). Julia herself has built a career studying and starting businesses in the college space, and I loved learning about how she’s grown Home from College from an impromptu domain purchase on March 15, 2020 just two days after the world went into lockdown to where it is today. This conversation really took me back to experiences I had during my internship days, my college experience in general (which is not a time of my life I would choose to repeat), and I know I would have benefitted so much if Home from College if it were a thing when I was in that stage of life. This episode is great for anyone who wants to learn from a self-taught leader (Julia has never had any corporate work experience and she’s pretty badass). It’s also a good listen if you’re interested in learning more about Gen Z or if you’re building something and want to hear how someone else has done it very successfully and methodically so far. Enjoy! x Julia on IG: https://www.instagram.com/juliahaber/ Julia on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@julia.haber Julia on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliahaber/ - Home from College: https://homefromcollege.com/ On IG: https://www.instagram.com/homefromcollege HoC on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@homefromcollege

    49: A social media collective with Sydney Fazende

    Sydney is the creative force behind All I Wanna Do (AIWD), a social media collective of strategists and creatives with a knack for telling brand stories that resonate. Last time we spoke on Creative Juicy (Episode 9!), Syd was still part-time at an agency, while taking on her first few clients on her own (that episode is great if you want to learn more about agency life and getting your footing in the world of social) so I thought now was an excellent time to catch up since she is now fully dedicated to building the collective. We talk about the kind of work that Syd produces for her client roster, what influencer marketing is actually good for these days, the role of community managers and why businesses should rethink that position in their corporate hierarchy, the few things she always does in order to win new client business, and a lot more. If this sounds interesting to your or your brand, you can reach Syd at syd@sydneyfazende.com. Enjoy!

  7. 48: From fashion to facials to founder with Sofie Pavitt

    48: From fashion to facials to founder with Sofie Pavitt

    Sofie Pavitt is a licensed esthetician, founder of Sofie Pavitt Skincare Studio, and now founder of her namesake product line, Sofie Pavitt Face.  In this episode, Sofie and I talk about her career in fashion before facials and how that foundation set her up for success in what she’s building today, the moment she knew she could quit her job and do facials full-time, how she took the studio from one treatment room on canal street to two treatment rooms, to her first hire, and beyond, the reason Sofie went after problematic skincare, specifically, how’s she’s building a killer skincare brand that already has 17 beauty awards in just a year and a half (that’s right... 17 in just 18 months!), and so much more.  I especially loved learning about how Sofie thinks about collaboration with brands in the same space and what she attributes to the PR pick-up she’s gotten in the press since she launched the studio. She is clearly super smart and went after a need she identified in the market - and totally nailed it. It's also a need I personally relate to, as I’m sure many of you do too.  I hope you enjoy my chat with Sofie as much as I did! x M Shop Sofie Pavitt Face: https://www.sofiepavittface.com/ Visit Sofie Pavitt Skincare Studio: https://www.sofiepavitt.com/ Sofie on IG: https://www.instagram.com/sofiepavitt/ Sofie Pavitt Face on IG: https://www.instagram.com/sofiepavittface/

  8. 47: Art as healing with Ramon “REO” Owen

    47: Art as healing with Ramon “REO” Owen 

    Today I am taking a spin through the CJP archive and resharing a conversation I had with Ramon Owen, otherwise none as REO, very early on in my pod journey. It was actually my second episode released ever!  REO is an artist across many different mediums. He’s a music producer, a photographer, a digital artist, he’s designing rugs, he’s a dancer - his artistry seriously has no bounds.  It was a bit surreal for me to re-edit this episode because back when we recorded it in 2022, I never would have thought I’d be able to relate to some of REO’s life experiences as much as I can now. I wanted to re-release it because unless you’ve been with Creative Juicy since the beginning, you probably haven’t heard it and REO’s perspective on self expression and art as healing and creating with intention I think is a really important one.  So I hope you enjoy it! This is REO for Creative Juicy! x M REO on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thisREO REO on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thisreo/ Michelle's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mich_wainwright/
