2019/10/08

When I sat with Frédéric in his office on Madison, he told me about his passion for creative disruption. He is the Chairman of Arianee, an association whose mission is to build a global standard for the digital certification of valuable objects. Behind the technologies, there's a vision:today, buying something is an act of communication, because of all the data involved in the process. How to protect the privacy and the security of our transactions? For Frederic, technology is the answer.

2019/09/28

Quand j'ai rencontré Roxane, nous nous sommes assis autour d'une table dans son appartement qui donne sur l'East River et le bas de la ville. Comme metteur en scène, elle m’a parlé de l’aventure intérieure que constitue un spectacle, où il s’agit pour elle d’amener chaque acteur à faire vivre son personnage dans le moment présent pour pouvoir le partager avec le public. Quand cela fonctionne, c’est un moment de grâce, comme si une bulle d’imaginaire, soudain remplissait tout l’espace. Il est

2019/09/24

When I sat with her in midtown Manhattan, she started to tell me how change can be difficult to accept for everyone. In a big organization like Danone, listening is a key value to facilitate the changes that fuel creativity and economic success. Speaking of change, what is the future of food? For Anne-Claire, food is the single great unifier across cultures. And, in the future, sustainability and transparency will be central. That means for us, the customers, more local food to fulfill local needs

In 2018, Pascaline has achieved an historic double triumph, first winning the prestigious Meilleur Ouvrier de France title (in the Sommelier category) and then, the crown of "Best Sommelier of France". She was the first woman ever to win these two competitions. Pascaline is supporting sustainable non-industrial farming practices, not only because they are better for human health and nature, but because they also make better wines. But, is it even possible to taste the differences between organic

2019/08/17

Pour cet épisode, j’ai rencontré Nicolette Hazewinkel et Rodrigue Tremblay, un couple de clowns qui a créé la compagnie Eclats de Rire à Montréal. Nicoletta est la muse, grande et élégante. Chocolat est le petit lutin vif et farceur, dans la tradition des personnages du clown blanc et de l'Auguste. Jouer avec les contrastes est un des principes du rire dans l'art clownesque. Nous nous sommes assis tous les trois autour d'une table, dans leur grande maison-atelier, où ils m'ont parlé de leur

2019/08/11

In this episode, you will hear rap artist Sarahmée talking about her creative process. Is it more challenging for a female rap artist to make a name? Sarahmée’s answer is: maybe. But she adds: "There is no female rap, there is just rap”. It’s time to listen to her.

2019/08/03

Normand est un chef de cuisine, pas un chef de guerre. Quand nous nous sommes rencontrés, il m’a tout de suite parlé du climat de confiance dont il a besoin pour être créatif. Confiance par rapport à ses fournisseurs et à sa brigade pour la qualité des produits, des plats et du service. Mais en plus du chef, il y a aussi un philosophe, un philosophe des 4 saisons qui réfléchit, beaucoup, à la manière d’offrir une expérience spectaculaire pour le palais de ses clients, tout en respectant les cycles

In this episode, you’ll hear Charles Shackleton. Shackleton? Yes, that rings a bell: he is a relative of the famous polar explorer Ernest Shackelton who died in 1922. Charles’ field of exploration is wood for making furniture. When I sat with him, he told me how he uses handmade techniques to instill his high-quality pieces of furniture with character and life. He added that for some of his most beautiful pieces, it hurts to give them. It's time to listen to him.

Miranda's pottery is collected in many places, including those of celebrities like former President Obama. When I sat with her, she told me that clay is the body of her work. What happens to it is an expression of who she is. It is a very humble material that constantly tests her and grounds her. When I asked about her biggest learning from her creative process, her answer was: "To be a better mother". It’s time to listen to her.

When I sat with Eric, in his office, at the basement of his restaurant, he told me how spirituality has changed his life and his creativity. He started as a tough chef in his kitchen, screaming and humiliating his team, throwing pots and pans on the floor, because he thought it was the right thing to do. Over the years, his cooks left the kitchen, especially the best ones. Then he realized that something was wrong with him. It's time to listen to him talking about his transformation into a better

Noémie de Lattre, comédienne : féministe libérée

2019/07/04

J’ai rencontré Noémie de passage à New York. Dans ses spectacles, elle ne part pas en guerre contre les hommes, mais contre les préjugés. Ceux des hommes, (mais aussi parfois, ceux des femmes) qui reproduisent des comportements violents, blessants ou oppressants entre les deux sexes et au-delà, par rapport à toutes les identités sexuelles. Cela ne l’empêche pas, pour en parler, de conserver ses talons de 12, ses collant résilles, ses jupes collantes et ses décolletés plongeants, pour nous suggérer

When I sat with Frédéric in his office on Park avenue, he told me that in 1989, when he opened his first salon atop New York’s Bergdorf Goodman Department store, he really wanted to do something different and new in the Beauty industry. So, he created the first luxury experience in haircare. And It’s still about revealing the unique beauty of everyone who sits in his chair.

Enfant, Michaëlle a fui avec sa famille la dictature de Duvalier en Haïti pour se réfugier au Canada. Professeur, documentariste, journaliste, elle a ensuite été nommée à des postes diplomatiques et politiques. Pour elle, "la créativité est une forme de résistance". Elle raconte ici la naissance de son humanisme et confie ses réflexions sur l'exercice du pouvoir. "Briser les solitudes" est sa devise.

2019/06/16

I sat with him in his cutting room, full of screens in midtown Manhattan. Bob is a storyteller. He told me about his role in the making of a film. The film editing ultimately sets the atmosphere, rhythm and tone of the viewer's experience. "It is about manipulating the time and the space in order to show the truth behind what was going on." Manipulating? Yes! And he added: “It a tricky line and a slippery slope.”

I sat with Alain in his big office on Fifth avenue full of books and art. He told me that luxury is about tradition, time and excellence. But technology is now reshaping it. Luxury has to be faster in adapting its business models to new technology where speed is as crucial as excellence. What becomes creativity behind those challenges?

All her life Melissa has always tried to make people love her by feeding them. That's her connection to people. I sat with her in her kitchen to talk about both her writing and cooking processes. “I create recipes starting from what I want to eat or what somebody I want to feed wants to eat. Creativity comes from desire.”

2019/05/13

I sat with Geraldine to talk about vulnerability. As an actress, to give truth to her characters, she has to really be truthful to herself. And be vulnerable. Vulnerability is one of the ingredients that gives creativity to the performance. But sometimes, an actress can experience it in a weird way on stage by forgetting her lines. Listen to what Geraldine told me about what happened to her.

2019/04/24

I sat down with Frederic who told me the ATARI story. In 1972 when Nolan Bushnell created it. At that time, he asked his teams to create a game that any drunk guy, in any bar, could play at any time: Pong was invented. With many other successful games, the brand became iconic for a whole generation of gamers. After years of success, the company faltered. In 2013, Frederic took it over and brought it back from the brink of bankruptcy. Creativity is at the core of this revival. But is there creativity

Since then, he has become an accomplished restaurateur with a long list of restaurants in the City. At Pizza Yard, he is about to launch the Pizza School next year with a creative concept: providing high-level pizzaiolo training to fill a shortage of professional pizzaiolos while contributing to the reintegration of former

Ce matin-là, je me suis assis avec Christian qui m'a raconté qu'en 1998, deux mois après avoir repris Lespinasse, il a reçu les prestigieuses 4 étoiles du New York Times. Il a ajouté : "Chaque recette est comme une carte." Elle vous mène d’un point A à un point B, puis C, puis D. Mais à l’intérieur de ce parcours, des escapades sont possibles, au niveau des détails : Christian est un interprète. Sa créativité est dans la variation, tout en jouant toujours le texte de la partition.
