Let Me Save You 25 Years’ Host Shawn D. Nelson has another Shawnism — this one may seem obvious, but you have to be very intentional to embody it: “Be An Insatiable Learner.” Real advice from a legendary fashion designer who knows this better than most: Be curious, seek out mentors, never be afraid to admit that you don’t know something, remember that no one person can do everything on their own, find what you love and apply it to your work, and last but not least — It's okay to be bossy. That’s straight from the mind of one of the most influential designers Stacey Bendet, the Founder, CEO and Creative Director of alice + olivia. Stacey's insatiable curiosity is what sets her apart as an entrepreneur. She constantly seeks to learn about new fabrics, techniques, and topics FAR beyond fashion. From her passion for product quality, to her unique approach to building a brand that embraces inclusivity and makes women feel confident and seen — she is always learning how to perfect everything she touches.Shawn and Stacey trade stories about embracing curiosity and what real continuous learning entails, how Stacey built a strong brand and fostered team collaboration, and how she balances work and wellness.Learning is something that truly never stops, but you need to remind yourself of this constantly. You can get comfortable at a certain level and think things won’t change — but they ALWAYS do. This means you need to constantly be pivoting to the change around you (while holding tight to your values) and BE AN INSATIABLE LEARNER!Additional link: Lovesac x alice + olivia https://www.lovesac.com/citysac-cover-lovesac-x-alice-olivia-sassy-stace.html
