Not an influencer but yes to being on panels. The LinkedIn banner photo of being on a panel is a lesser, more accessible flex that one of being a talking head on TV. I'm seeing it a lot.
RE: Clothing for work. In the 1990s. at the investment management firm I worked for, summer Fridays were declared casual without further guidance. A guy wore shorts and flip flops. One of the founders saw it and casual summer Fridays ended. As I recall, the guy had hairy toes.
KITS eyewear (Vancouver brand) has a near-perfect dupe for like $30CAD. There's also a Temu-esque glasses site called Firmoo that sells a dupe for $20CAD. The Firmoo ones aren't a good dupe though (I got the firmoo ones in December but just ended up springing for the real pair when my insurance reset in January. There are subtle but significant differences in the shape.)
“But one ambassador with those proverbial golden tickets told us, ‘There is so much pressure from people who hear I’m an ambassador to add them, but I am trying to follow the directive and be selective… They’re being so tough about it, they’re like the curation police!’”

I have no idea, we need someone from HR to translate

It’s so funny
the sad part is the frames are really nice but have become another obvious indicator of personal style informed by the algo
Miu Miu makes great frames! It's crazy how quickly a specific item can take off

Looks like the inspo for the Havana frames was supposed to be Michelle Pfeiffer in ‘Batman Returns’…missed the mark!
What frames are you wearing Patrick
Been wearing the Garrett Leight Wilson’s in gold and tortoise for about a year, really good weight to them.

I would also like to know the sales number of the dupes
Can’t speak for firmoo but the KITS one sells out almost immediately every time they restock. And a LOT of influencers are incognito Canadians.
Is hometown bbq the next Shake Shack?
Burgers are so much faster than BBQ — they take like 24 hours to cook their stuff. The quality would have to come down
I don’t know, pulled pork and Mac n cheese could all be done ahead in ghost kitchens. But agreed it’s a lot more time to make brisket!
Damn now I want these lil glasses!
They’re kinda cute
Drain gang
That’s right
