Visionary Minds

Dans cet épisode de Visionary Minds, je reçois Anne Boistard, fondatrice de Balance Ton Agency. Lancé en 2020 après un burnout, son compte est devenu un espace de libération de la parole sur le harcèlement et les dérives de culture interne dans le monde des agences.On parle de son process de vérification (et de pourquoi elle attend des témoignages concordants avant de publier), de ce qui a vraiment bougé — ou pas — depuis #MeToo, et de la différence entre une agence qui change et une agence qui “communique”.Et puis il y a l’envers du décor : pressions, procédures, invisibilisation, et même le risque très concret de dépendre d’une plateforme comme Meta quand on porte ce type de sujet. 

In this episode of Visionary Minds, Alexis Amann, Chief Data Officer at Luxurynsight, takes us inside the forces transforming the fragrance industry. From the rise of Gen Z and the acceleration of the U.S. market to premiumisation, e-commerce, Asia-Pacific, and the scent trends dominating social media, this conversation reveals why fragrance has become one of beauty’s most powerful growth engines. A sharp, data-driven perspective on desire, culture, and the future of the market. 

In this episode of Visionary Minds, Rebecca Bemhena, VP and Head of Content at Shoptalk Luxe, explores the quiet but profound transformation reshaping the luxury industry.What appears to be a return to stability is, in reality, a structural shift—driven by a more concentrated customer base, rising expectations around experience, and the rapid acceleration of AI and resale. Rebecca unpacks why growth is becoming more uneven, and why sharper strategic decisions now matter more than ever.From emerging models of discovery to the redefinition of value in luxury, this episode outlines the new playbook for brands navigating what comes next.A must-listen for leaders, marketers, and founders looking to understand where luxury is heading—and how to stay ahead of it.

In this solo episode of Visionary Minds, I share a personal reflection inspired by two powerful signals of our time: Dubai, whose image as a haven for global wealth is being challenged, and Bryan Johnson’s $1M-a-year “Immortals” longevity program.Two very different stories, yet they may reveal the same shift: contemporary privilege no longer seeks only distinction — it seeks subtraction.Subtraction from risk. From time. From wear and ageing. From the limits of the human condition.An episode about the evolution of luxury, aesthetics, skincare, longevity… and what our era increasingly hopes to erase.

Le nouveau luxe veut-il nous rendre immortels ?Dans cet épisode un peu particulier de Visionary Minds, je ne donne pas la parole à un invité. Je prends le temps de livrer une vision.À partir de deux actualités en apparence sans lien. Dubaï, dont l’image de refuge pour les grandes fortunes se fissure, et le programme “Immortals” de Bryan Johnson à 1 million de dollars par an. J’explore une intuition : et si le nouveau luxe ne cherchait plus seulement à séduire ou à distinguer, mais à soustraire ?Se soustraire au risque. Au temps. À l’usure. À la limite.Un épisode sur les mutations du luxe, de l’esthétique, de la skincare et de notre rapport contemporain au corps.
