And well, here's 12 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.359 your host of Always in Fashion, Mark Weber. 13 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:45.079 Mark Weber. 14 00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.840 This is Mark Weber, This is business, and this is 15 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.759 a night to talk and Always in Fashion a knight 16 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.759 that talk seriously, face to face. In this world, the complexity, 17 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:01.920 the differences, the diversity make our ability to communicate so 18 00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.560 much more easily and instantaneously than ever before. Yet the 19 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.680 simpler has become to talk, the more difficulty has become 20 00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:14.400 to communicate. Phones. The top priority is no longer the phone. 21 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.959 We pay the least attention to the phone feature for 22 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:22.879 communicating there's been virtually no effort put forth to improve 23 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.920 the phone listening quality, the speakers, etc. And Apple and 24 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.920 the other makers will admit that because we're not asking 25 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.000 for it. And why because smartphones, when it comes to talking, 26 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.400 are not so smart. We don't seem to care about 27 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.959 the sound quality of the telephone. The consumer is not 28 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:46.680 demanding better. Yes they're perfect for email, Yes they're perfect 29 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:51.359 for texting, and yes for accessing any of the social mediums. 30 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.760 It's perfect your phone for finding vast amount of information 31 00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.200 on the Internet, and now perfectly convenient for buying and 32 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:04.599 purchasing about anything. But as a phone, it's not developing. 33 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.560 We don't realize. I guess how incredible it is to 34 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.560 talk to anyone in the world, anywhere in the world, 35 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.960 from anywhere that you are. We're taking a cell phone 36 00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.719 for granted, I drove my car from the onset without 37 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.759 a phone anywhere I would go. I've drived to Pennsylvania 38 00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:25.199 to Flora without a phone, never giving it a moment's thought. 39 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.360 But today I'm uncomfortable. I freak out if I forget 40 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.400 my phone to go to the clean ears. You want 41 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.319 that phone in the car, it's part of you. Let's 42 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.199 take a moment to think about it. The future's here. 43 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.360 We can talk to anyone any time you want. Yet 44 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:47.240 we're talking less and less. Texts and emails are growing, 45 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.360 talking not so much. We can't blame the phone. It's 46 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.439 there for us. It's not the phone, it's us, it's you. Really. 47 00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:59.680 Talking is becoming a lost art, and face to face 48 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:03.560 to rushians are disappearing. Talking face to face seems to 49 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:08.000 be avoided at all costs. When did you stop talking 50 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:13.000 and started avoiding? I know it's easy to avoid dialogue 51 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:17.639 today it's email and texting impersonal to say the least, easy, 52 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:24.159 non confrontational, and easily avoidable for anything. You're at the 53 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:29.759 point dating is online. Relationships are verea text. I remember 54 00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:31.879 how difficult it was for me to work up the 55 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.439 courage prepare myself to tell a young lady that I 56 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.560 was dating, that we would be no more. But face 57 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.280 to face was the right way, face to face to communication. 58 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.879 It was uncomfortable, but that's what I did. That's what 59 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.599 I want to talk to you about tonight, face to 60 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:55.360 face communication in business and in life, and maybe some politics. 61 00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.039 Face to face with me tonight. Jesse Weber, my son, 62 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:02.560 my attorney, here and always in fashion. I can't help 63 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.800 but stay current on your relationships. Then I raised this point. 64 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:07.800 We talk about that a lot my relationships. 65 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:08.599 Apparently, you know. 66 00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.800 It's interesting. I went out with somebody recently and she's 67 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:13.960 a younger girl, and she said to me, I said, 68 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.040 you don't go out to meet people anymore, and she goes, 69 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.959 you know, ever since the online dating and there's so 70 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.360 many different apps. I go out with my friends, my 71 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.720 girlfriend's just to go out to dance. I don't really 72 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.600 look for anybody. If I want to look for somebody, 73 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:28.920 I use the apps. If I go out, maybe I'll 74 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.279 see somebody. But I really wait for the apps. It's 75 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.040 become a different world. In fact, i'll tell you I 76 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.480 would say it was a couple of years ago. I 77 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.079 met a girl at one of an event. You and 78 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.199 I went to an event. She was working the event. 79 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.480 I went up to her, started talking or got her number. 80 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.160 We went out later on that night. I met one 81 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:45.920 of her friends, and her friend says to me, while 82 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.120 my date went to the bathroom, shas you know, I 83 00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.319 heard how you went out. You went out of your 84 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:53.399 way to get her number. I think that's really weird. 85 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.000 I said, what do you mean she goes who goes 86 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:57.759 up to somebody who gets their number? I said, how 87 00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.920 should I have met her? You use an app everybody else? 88 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.600 Oh geez, that's today's day and age. I'm telling you 89 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.959 things have just changed. And the worst part about it. 90 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.639 You ready for this? Yeah, when you break up with somebody, 91 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.720 they cut you off of all social media Facebook, Instagram 92 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.199 for not just cut you off. I've been blocked. I 93 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:19.879 can't even search for them anymore. 94 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.319 Well, I'm glad it's your world. What can I say? 95 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:26.160 But tonight I want to talk about talking in business 96 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.319 and in life. If you master the oral word, you 97 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:33.600 will be successful. There's no question your writing skills will 98 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:37.480 play an important part in your career. But you need 99 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.480 to know how to talk. So much of what is 100 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.720 done via the Internet and writing, and yes, you need 101 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:47.079 to be capable of organizing your thoughts and articulating them 102 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.839 via the written word. You got to be careful where 103 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.800 you put your exclamation marks. I'm told that's a big deal. 104 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.279 Putting things in capitals is a big deal. But the 105 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.800 decisions in your career will be about FaceTime. 106 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.879 Wait, I'm sorry I have to terrupt you. Coming from here, 107 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:04.519 your emails need a lot of work. 108 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:06.959 It's like, I care about talking. 109 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:09.160 I don't even know what it's like. Morse code. 110 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.160 What's the thing called that changes your words around? 111 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.519 If you don't, don't blame it on the Apple Typeoh, 112 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.680 that's not what it is. What you structure your emails 113 00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:22.079 like three three words? Then the next sentence it's like, well, spellcheck, 114 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:23.800 don't blame it on spellcheck? 115 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.680 What spell check? Listen to me, I'm on the radio. 116 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:33.240 I'm master at communicating the oral word writing. Yeah, I 117 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:34.959 do it when I have to do, and it's certainly 118 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.720 part of our culture. But tonight I want to talk 119 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:44.759 about FaceTime, not Apple time, not Apple FaceTime, real FaceTime, 120 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:50.000 face to face communication. You're expressing of ideas, your relationships 121 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.079 with your boss, your important communications with your subordinates, the 122 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.399 people working for you, will be face to face. Your ideas, 123 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:02.839 your follow through direction, execution may take place through email, 124 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.800 but think about it and trust me, it's the FaceTime 125 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:10.439 that leaves the impressions. It's the face time that can 126 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.319 make or break you. Your ability to communicate and talk 127 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.040 is the key. Now, if you're a listener to the show, 128 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.800 you know I don't like humans. I don't have much 129 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.680 faith in them. I just don't like them. If I 130 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:25.879 were to work with only people i'd like, I'd be 131 00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:27.319 in a room by myself. 132 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:29.639 What does that say about me? 133 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.560 Ah, you're not included. Don't be ridiculous. I don't but 134 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:36.000 I really don't like humans. And everyone I know knows 135 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.120 that I don't like humans. But in business, you have 136 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.759 a responsibility to communicate with them. And in spite of Twitter, Instagram, 137 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.360 emails and texts, talking sets the stage that is the 138 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:50.319 best vehicle to get your ideas and thoughts across directly 139 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:54.800 to all the people you interact with. The political world 140 00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:57.800 is all about FaceTime, you know. I want to talk 141 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:02.279 about Gina Haspell, the woman who was interviewing this week 142 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:06.360 to be the head of the CIA. She was amazing 143 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.439 if you listened to her interview, and I'll tell you why. 144 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.759 Running the CIA, it's got to be an incredibly difficult job. 145 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.319 And if you listen to this woman, she began in 146 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:24.040 the field, making clandestine meetings with spies and people in 147 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.199 the middle of nowhere in foreign countries. The courage she 148 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.800 displayed throughout her career to get where she got, and 149 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.919 when you listen to her talk I was so impressed 150 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.000 with the degree of information she had at her figure tips. 151 00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:42.279 She had done it all, and now she's interviewing for 152 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:46.360 the top spot in spite of all the scandals. I 153 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:51.000 respect our congressmen and senators. Yet when you heard the 154 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:56.720 questions they were asking her, trying to get personal information 155 00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:02.759 from one of America's most important covert operatives. When they 156 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:08.480 started to talk about America is behind the scenes investigating principles, 157 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:11.639 Why are they asking those questions? It makes no sense. 158 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:13.879 Why don't we just tell the whole world how we 159 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.919 do everything? Now. I know they're smart. I know they 160 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:21.320 have very learned their lawyers, their attorneys, they're very smart people. 161 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:25.080 But yet they kept probing, probing, probing. But what I 162 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:28.960 took away is the more they asked her, the better 163 00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:32.480 she was. The more I was excited about her because 164 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:36.360 she had done every single job there was to be done. 165 00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:40.399 She knew how to run the CIA. This should have 166 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:45.000 been simple, but it wasn't. I will tell you that 167 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.320 the theme of tonight's show, face to face, was remarkable, 168 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:53.440 watching her testify face to face in front of the committee, 169 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.200 and with that in mind, you could never do that 170 00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:01.480 via text. The eye contact the face to face questioning 171 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.759 whether I like the questions or not. I don't even 172 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:06.200 know why the whole thing wasn't done in closed session. 173 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:08.320 You know, we're talking about the CIA here, We're not 174 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:12.360 talking about your favorite food. But it was interesting to 175 00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.799 watch the face to face while I'm on the subject 176 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.360 of politics. You know who else I want to talk about, 177 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:25.080 Jesse Donald Trump. Absolutely, he is perhaps one of the 178 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:30.559 most effective communicators ever to occupy the Oval Office. Before 179 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:32.720 you run a revolt on me, I know there's a 180 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:35.679 lot of you out there that doesn't like the President. 181 00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:40.320 I happen to think he's an effective communicator, and I'll 182 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.240 dissuade you for the moment, and I give you a 183 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.159 point of view on whether I like Donald Trump or not. 184 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:51.320 In fact, I know Donald Trump. I actually devoted a 185 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:53.919 chapter in my book Always in Fashion to Donald Trump, 186 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:57.559 Chapter seventeen, and I entitled it Negotiating with the Master. 187 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.679 Donald Trump has a life licensing business. He is a brand. 188 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.480 He believes in the Trump brand, and with that brand, 189 00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:06.840 he likes to put his name on various different products, 190 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:12.320 products ranging from vodka to buildings, to hotels to golf courses. 191 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.799 And when I met him, he wanted to be in 192 00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:18.360 the men's apparel business. He believed during his period in 193 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:24.360 the Apprentice that he was creating a demand for shirts, ties, suits, clothing, 194 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:27.080 and he wanted my company, at the time, the van 195 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:30.320 using company, to be his licensee. And my guys came 196 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.120 to me one day and said, Donald Trump wants to 197 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.440 be our partner in shirts and ties and suits. I said, 198 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.440 you know what, what do I need that for? Forget it, 199 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:41.759 go back and tell him we don't need it. We 200 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.440 got enough good things going on. The following morning, the 201 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:48.799 president of our licensing business came into me and said, 202 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:51.679 Donald Trump wants to come up here. I said, come on. 203 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.759 He said, no, Donald Trump wants to come up here. Now, 204 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.039 this was way before he was going to run for office. 205 00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:59.559 This is when he was running his business. I said, 206 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:01.919 I'll tell you, if Donald Trump the man wants to 207 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:03.360 come up here and see me, then I'm going to 208 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:06.000 come up and see him, and lo and behold. Two 209 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:10.159 days later, Donald Trump and his entourage, which weren't very many, 210 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.000 came up to see me in my conference room. Hi, Mark, 211 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.559 I've heard so much about you. I love your company. 212 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:18.679 I have this brand that I want you guys to 213 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.759 be involved to make money. I was absolutely not interested. 214 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.039 I had no interest in whatsoever. I didn't need it. 215 00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:26.960 You know, mister Trump, we have all a good business 216 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.480 going on. Why do I need this? He said? You know, 217 00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:31.840 I've done celebrity brands before. They come and go. They 218 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:33.840 don't last the time, he said, you don't understand the 219 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.000 Trump brand. And the point of the story is is 220 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:42.200 face to face he was so articulate, so clever, so 221 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:46.759 interested in building a brand with our company. He was flattering, 222 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.720 he was tough. I was tougher and made him crazy. 223 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.840 He said, listen to me, you're very tough. I'm not 224 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.039 sure I have hi met anyone tougher than you. But 225 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.320 if you trust me, we could build this brand together. 226 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:00.279 And I please, I'd like you to think about it. 227 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.200 Make a long story short. Our people were enthused. We 228 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:06.200 ended up doing it. We had a great run until 229 00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:09.600 he ran for office. The point is, face to face 230 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:12.559 makes a difference. On the phone, I would have never 231 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:17.600 agreed to anything but face to face communicating. Looking in 232 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.919 his eyes, seeing how serious he was, seeing how important 233 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.279 it was to him, really really made a difference. And 234 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:27.559 when I watch him communicate as president in his town 235 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:31.159 halls or in his pep rallies from city to city. 236 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.639 I found him to be the most effective communicator I've 237 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.919 ever seen in the Oval office. Now, does he get 238 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.840 himself in trouble, yes, Do some people dislike him, yes, 239 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.720 But those people there listening to him talk to them 240 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:49.639 face to face, hearing him tell you what's important to him, 241 00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:52.519 whether it's a border wall, whether it's peace in Korea, 242 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.360 whether it's trade, whether it's being treated respectfully, whether it's 243 00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:59.759 putting America first. How come we all know all of 244 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:03.720 these things as second nature? Because he wants to make 245 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:08.080 America great again? And how is he doing it face 246 00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.039 to face? I'm gonna take a break. When we come back, 247 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:11.960 we'll talk some more. 248 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:14.840 Always in fashions. 249 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.360 As one of the world's most celebrated fashion designers, Carl 250 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.039 Lagafeld was renowned for his aspirational and cutting edge approach 251 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.120 to style.

I, for one, wear men's clothes, 268 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.919 unlike my appreciation of women's clothes. I'm a modern guy. 269 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:25.039 I want to look current.

A 282 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.879 favorite brand has always been ISOD. My company at one 283 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.559 time bought that brand. The CEO of the company handed 284 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:09.440 it to me and said, you better make it work. 285 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:13.799 And I put everything in my career to make ISOD work, 286 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:15.919 and I fell in love with that brand, and to 287 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.759 this day it is one of the most exciting endeavors 288 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.960 I've ever got involved with. Isod is an incredibly strong 289 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:28.720 golf brand. If you play golf, if you play tennis 290 00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:32.799 for that matter. They make a great polo shirts. I 291 00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:38.480 mean great. They're fit perfect. The material is unique because 292 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:42.000 it's a PK fabric that waffle weave you see, and 293 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.200 it's made of a blend of cotton and microfiber that 294 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:50.159 allows you to stretch, and very often they are treated 295 00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:55.480 with solar protection as well, so they stretch, they're comfortable, 296 00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:58.159 and they breathe well. And one thing about ISOC they 297 00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:00.720 always fit. They'll never tug on you. You put it 298 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.240 in your waist, they'll fit you great. The colors, patterns 299 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:07.720 are sensational. Now I will also tell you ISAOD makes 300 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:10.920 great shorts and great golf pants. You're a golfer and 301 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:12.400 you want to look good. You don't have to think 302 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:15.119 about how do I look. You want to think about 303 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.240 how you play, not how you feel. ISOD is the 304 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.440 brand for you. I know I was there when it 305 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:23.799 was created. The strategy behind that brand is brilliant. It's 306 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:26.160 one of my favorite brands. While I talk about it, 307 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.160 I should tell you about the men's sportswear. ISOD wasn't 308 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.839 enough being a golf brand. It wasn't enough being just 309 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:36.400 great polo shirts with logos, without logos. Incredible brand and 310 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:42.200 story and history. Isaad makes salt weather programs. They have 311 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:48.960 great printed woven shirts, short sleeves. They look excellent with colors, 312 00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.599 excellent with shorts, excellent with cotton pants, of which they 313 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.279 also make this whole salt order relaxed line from ISAD, 314 00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:03.000 whether it be fleece, cotton, swea knitpolos, woven shirts and 315 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:06.359 pants of a range of colors and fabrics that are 316 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:08.480 perfect for a guy wants to go casually in the 317 00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:11.720 spring and summer of this year. And here's the thing. 318 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:19.920 ISOD is affordable. Everyone listening to me talk about this 319 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.279 brand can afford to buy it and know that there 320 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:25.599 are a lot of other brands that also have a 321 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:29.119 look like ISID. Although I don't believe it's fun as 322 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:31.880 Isaia is. The brand has a lot of energy in it, 323 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:35.599 but at the price points no one can compete. You 324 00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:39.519 can find ISAAC at your leading retailers and online at 325 00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:43.200 isid dot com. Talk to you, lady guys.

Here's your host, Mark webber. 329 00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:58.519 Tonight, I'm Always in Fashion. I'm talking face to face. 330 00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:02.400 I'm talking about the importance of talking face to face. 331 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:07.960 I think speeches are incredibly important. I've spent a career 332 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:11.279 out front of the companies that I work for from 333 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.519 as early as I can remember, you needed to be smart. 334 00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:18.400 I needed to be smart. I needed to be able 335 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:20.920 to communicate. I needed to do all those things that 336 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:24.119 I needed to do. But what I realized early on 337 00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:29.279 that my oral skills mattered my ability to communicate orally 338 00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:34.079 with people. Nothing is as clear as talking to someone 339 00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:36.640 face to face. You see their whites of their eyes, 340 00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:41.839 you see their expressions. The psychology of you, your ability 341 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.200 to read people, comes into play. It's so important face 342 00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:49.400 to face. Otherwise people are talking for you. You're being misrepresented. 343 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:53.640 Perhaps you're not getting your points across as well. There 344 00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:56.079 is a game that we all know. It's called telephone. 345 00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:01.599 I whisper something in Jesse's ear, Jesse, and it comes 346 00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:05.599 out something completely different exactly, and that's telephone. And you 347 00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:07.720 pass it along, and you pass it along and you 348 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:13.559 end up your message is misconstrued. It happens every day 349 00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:17.480 in politics, it happens every day everywhere. But when you 350 00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:20.440 do it face to face, and it's clear from you. 351 00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:22.599 First of all, you have no one else to blame 352 00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:24.519 but yourself. You're the one doing the talking, so you 353 00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:28.400 better know what you're talking about. But at least it's 354 00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:32.200 coming from you. You're making the points that you want 355 00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:37.319 to make. I like to communicate in speeches. I've done 356 00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:39.920 it my whole career, as I said, starting out till 357 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:45.359 the days I became senior VP, executive VP, president, CEO, 358 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.839 board member, I've had to make my own speeches, and 359 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:54.160 I think it's really important to communicate directly with the 360 00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:58.680 people I work with, face to face, ensuring that you 361 00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:03.160 hear it from the horse's mouth. In this case, me 362 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:07.319 my ideas, my vision, my view of the company, what 363 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:11.839 I'm doing, no interpretations. I'm leaving you with what I 364 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.359 want you to be left with. I love your speeches. 365 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:17.079 Ah do you love your speeches? 366 00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:20.160 Five hundred people knew at the end of your speech 367 00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.240 what you wanted them to know, and I think that's 368 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:24.920 the key. That's the key to giving a good speech. 369 00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:27.000 Thank you, Jesse. That's what I'm trying to do, and 370 00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:29.559 thanks for the nice words. I always try to set 371 00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:32.440 an example for you and for the people that we're 372 00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:35.480 standing there. I have an idea, why don't we do 373 00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:38.599 the following? Why don't I make a speech right now? 374 00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:41.079 Just to make the point first, of course, welcoming the 375 00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:46.079 audience to the speech. I think although I am a 376 00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:47.880 CEO and a big shot, I want to be a 377 00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:50.240 man of the people. I want to come across like 378 00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:54.119 I'm one of them, that I'm not above them. I 379 00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:58.000 want to make sure I have a clear message, make 380 00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:01.799 sure they understand that this is a great company, that 381 00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:04.279 there are reasons that they're at this company. We're going 382 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:07.960 to talk about right now. Why don't you take the 383 00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.799 anchor position and introduce me. Let's see take one of 384 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:13.599 my titles. Which title would you like to use. 385 00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:17.480 Let's do a CEO of LVMH Inc. Louis Vuitton Moet 386 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:21.079 Hennessy Inc. It's the US subsidiary Oppressive. 387 00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:24.839 That was me, that was you. Let's go, let's do 388 00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:28.000 that speech. So Jesse, why don't we do this? Why 389 00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:30.279 don't you introduce me and I will give a speech 390 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:31.000 to the audience. 391 00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:37.279 Okay, hello there, everybody.
