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 “rebound relationship” at Condé Nast, and the founding of The Yes. Now she’s behind Daydream (“if Net-A-Porter and ChatGPT had a baby”), which she and co-founder Julie Bornstein raised $50 million for before they even had a product. Lisa gets real about why relationships are a founder’s superpower, how she hires on instinct (could you survive an airport delay together?), the names that almost beat “Daydream” (RIP, Palette), and why you have to be a delusional optimist to be truly happy building a company.

Hollywood doesn't run on red carpets; it runs on assistants. Podcast hosted by Meghan Grimm

Hollywood doesn't run on red carpets; it runs on assistants. Behind every headline is the person who booked the car, confirmed the call time, and packed the snacks. In Hollywood, assistants aren't background; they're the operating system. From mailroom gigs, set runners and first feature films to all the chaos behind closed doors, Clyde Confidential lifts the curtain on the industry's most defining (and sometimes mortifying) early career moments. Hosted by Meghan Grimm, founder of the elite entertainment staffing agency Clyde, this podcast brings together the movers and shakers of Hollywood: clients, creators, and ex-assistants turned power players to dish on the real stories from their career journeys and biggest lessons that came out of them.

The Woman Who Built The AI Future of Fashion Shopping with Lisa Yamner

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 liked her. Josh, meanwhile, landed the job by sending surprise materials after the interview, and he’s now the guy who knows exactly which fonts Jackie will hate and runs her annual “off-brand October” content. Plus: the prenatal “labor induction” massage with a heart-shaped Himalayan salt block, a stork lawn display that welcomed baby Clyde home, and the Boston tour stop, where the venue was a suburban community center with a farmers market out front, a folding-table bar, and an audience clutching green onions, while Josh secretly learned new lighting software 30 minutes before showtime. They close with real talk on why likability beats skill, why an assistant job is a more personal relationship than any other, and why you should make sure you actually like the person you’re applying to work for.

How Jackie Schimmel’s Resume Lie Changed Her Career

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/0dc63c88-0558-44e5-bcba-b4ea017d3797/transcript

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. They look back on a hiring process that barely counted as an interview (it was a restaurant meet-up where Ivy’s kindness to the waitstaff sealed the deal), the early-days mix-ups, including the fitting-versus-show-location mishap, and how an art gallery background turned out to be the perfect training ground for wrangling Ivy’s world. Along the way, they get into astrology, Ivy’s rescue Chihuahuas, the T-Pain concerts they’ve attended together, and the Fashion Week car ride where one of them fully sobbed after meeting a childhood idol while the others tried not to die laughing.

Beneath the chaos, there’s real heart. They talk about the giving-back projects they dream up together, from filling a school’s winter wish list to packing backpacks and delivering meals to homebound seniors. They also share what keeps a boss-assistant relationship working when you’re close in age and the lines blur: open communication, mutual respect, a lot of patience, and finding the right fit.

What It’s Really Like Being Ivy Getty’s Assistant

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/8afaa258-176b-4760-917c-b4dd00549e2a/transcript

This week, the tables turn as Meghan welcomes Yale Breslin — host of Office of, the buzzy men's-focused podcast that's carved out space for guys to be vulnerable, curious, and unguarded — onto her side of the interview. A former magazine editor (Nylon, V Magazine) turned first-time podcaster, Yale breaks down the hustle behind building Office of from scratch: recording 30 episodes before ever launching, passing a make-or-break studio "test" with a friend he's still apologizing to, and the relentless DM-sliding, favor-calling, no-means-not-yet mentality it took to land guests with zero team behind him.

Yale gets candid about evolving the show for season two — pivoting from studio interviews to filming guests in their actual "offices," wherever that may be — and unpacks the loaded question of whether he's ever been a "personality hire." Plus: lessons from his dog-walking, coffee-order-anxiety internship days, why he refuses to dwell on rejection, and his blunt advice for anyone trying to launch something of their own: get clear, ask for help, and don't be afraid of the cringe.
