• Darcy Barber: The Creative Powerhouse Behind Unforgettable Experiences

  What do Gucci, Tom Ford, and Sephora have in common? They all trust Darcy Barber to bring their creative visions to life. As the Executive Creative Director of FOAM Creative, Darcy is the mastermind behind some of the most breathtaking experiential events in the fashion and beauty world. She’s the type of person who walks into a room and instantly makes it more fun, more beautiful, and way more interesting. But that’s just one side of her brilliance. Beyond the high-profile brands and stunning events, Darcy is a passionate advocate for sustainability in fashion, proving that innovation and upcycling can go hand in hand. She once repurposed a pile of discarded luxury fabric from a major retailer and turned it into a sold-out clothing line—then sold it back to them. Legendary. In this episode, we dive deep into her journey from corporate life to creative freedom, her love for hands-on artistry, and how crafting, community, and playfulness keep her constantly inspired. Darcy shares why she believes everyone has creativity within them (yes, even you!), and how we can break free from the fear of failure to just start making things. Whether it’s through her DIY Craft Nights in NYC, her fashion sustainability projects, or her larger-than-life event productions, she is always bringing people together to create something unforgettable. Darcy is hilarious, wildly inspiring, and effortlessly cool—her stories will make you laugh, rethink what’s possible, and maybe even pick up a new creative hobby.

• Jen Snyder on Power, Propaganda & Fighting for Real Change

  What happens when a party-loving, vintage-hunting, anti-capitalist powerhouse decides to take on billionaires, landlords, and the status quo? You get Jen Snyder—a political strategist, campaign manager, and all-around force for working-class people. In this episode, Jen and I dive deep into how she went from the world of advertising to running political campaigns, using the same persuasion tactics that sell products to fight for real change. We break down the psychology of propaganda, how billionaires trick people into voting against their own interests, and why local government is where real power lies. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by politics or unsure where to start, Jen lays out tangible steps you can take to get involved without burning out. We also discuss immigration rights, the fight for social housing, and how taxing the rich can fund the programs we all deserve. The future isn’t written yet, but it will be built by those who fight for it—so let’s get to work. Listen now, share widely, and join the movement.
