Let’s talk about the three things women are told not to do: negotiate, network unapologetically, and say no like we mean it. Most of us have been programmed to default to yes—to the point that we feel guilty saying no, even when it’s the most obvious answer. And when we do say no? We often soften it, explain it away, and sugarcoat it so much that it barely sounds like a no at all. Kathryn Valentine—CEO of Worthmore Strategies and corporate badass helping companies retain and promote female talent—is here to flip that script. With experience advising Fortune 100s and dropping knowledge in places like HBR and Fast Company, Kathryn knows exactly how women can claim their worth, own their voice, and not feel bad about it. From salary talks to schedule shifts, from asking for more to turning down what doesn’t serve you, this episode is your reminder: your power doesn't come from being liked. It comes from knowing what matters and having the guts to go after it. Kathryn even drops her epic list of 76 things you can negotiate (yes, SEVENTY-SIX). So if you've ever softened your no or stayed silent in a meeting, this one’s for you.

It's 2020, and if you're an online retailer not already thinking about the implications of artificial intelligence on your business then allow today’s episode to provoke your consideration: Our guest today is Ashwini Asokan, the CEO and founder of Vue.Ai, a US/India-based startup that has developed an AI platform to help online retailers increase sales and work more efficiently. They do this by automating simple yet important tasks such as product tagging and personalized recommendations. Vue.AI also help fashion brands leverage artificial intelligence to generate images of models in clothes and provide personal style recommendations to customers while shopping online. It’s a robust offering in a market that’s used to doing things the old fashioned way, which may explain why Vue.AI has secured $17 million in venture capital funding. We’ll talk about how a fashion startup managed to get the attention of Silicon Valley, as well as the limitations of AI for online retailers.…

Electric Runway Episode 123: Automation and AI are coming for the Fashion Industry 27:58

In episode 123 of the Electric Runway podcast, we're talking about how technology is changing bespoke apparel. The word “bespoke” is derived from the British word “bespeak” which means to discuss in advance or to order or reserve something. You can see here why the word has had a long-standing relationship with tailoring and tailor-made clothing. At one time, garments were created based on consumer demand and to their measurements and specifications. While the industrial revolution may have moved us towards mass manufacturing, we may be returning to an era of highly customized clothing—only this time, technologies including software, 3D body scans, and artificial intelligence are making it easier and more efficient than ever to scale the bespoke experience. Our guest today is Marc Close, the co-founder and CEO of Bespokify. Bespokify is a fashion-tech company that creates customizable and bespoke-fitting apparel patterns instantly. Bespokify enables custom fashion to be made as efficiently and affordably as mass-production, and in the process, it eliminates returns because of poor fit, helps build inventory-less fashion brands, and opens the door to AI-driven design.

Electric Runway Episode 119: How ThredUp is Using AI to Shape a More Circular Fashion Future 21:36

Fashion futurist Amanda Cosco interviews Chris Homer of ThredUp to discover how the California company is bringing Silicon Valley innovation to the $24 billion resale market in order to drive a more sustainable and circular fashion future. All over the world, the Climate Crisis is on everyone’s mind; Last week, millions of activists and concerned citizens took to the streets for a global climate strike, urging leaders to take meaningful action towards curbing catastrophic climate change. So what does this have to do with the fashion industry, you may be asking? Well, a lot. It’s widely known that fashion and apparel manufacturing is the second-largest polluter in the world next to oil and gas. From the chemicals it takes to transform raw materials into textiles to the amount of water required to produce a single t-shirt, fashion’s dirty secret is no longer a secret. This episode is a part of our ongoing pre-coverage of WEAR—that’s the World Ethical Apparel Roundtable— taking place October 7th to 8th 2019 in Toronto. Hosted by non-profit Fashion Takes Action, WEAR aims to bring together sustainability experts, thought-leaders, and decision-makers in apparel to uncover how the industry can improve practices to move fashion towards a more conscious and circular future.
