Clyde Confidential

This week, Meghan sits down with a very pregnant Jackie Schimmel, the mom who definitely named her son Clyde after the company, and her assistant (and chief of staff) Josh Cabello, for their first podcast together. Jackie’s origin story is wild: she lied her way into an internship as a “UCLA broadcast journalism major”, with no high school diploma, and was hired because everyone...

This week, Meghan welcomes Lisa Yamner, co-founder of Daydream and host of The Fashion Stack, to the guest chair. Lisa’s path is anything but linear: gym membership sales, cocktail waitressing (where she learned to upsell Grey Goose real quick), and 12 years at Google, where she convinced Chanel to buy the YouTube homepage for $1 million. Then came the leap she did NOT want to take, a &ldquo...

This week on Clyde Confidential, Meghan sits down with Ivy Getty and her right hand, Renee Canterna, who just hit their three-year work anniversary.

Meghan heads to her favorite gym for a full roundtable with the trainers of DOGPOUND — the "exclusive performance members club" beloved by everyone from A-list actors to marathoners.

Fro...
