0:44Okay. Hi. Hello. Daphne Baranchini. Welcome to the podcast. You're going to hold my teddy bear? Yes. Carmela when she was up here was on the bed and I handed her the teddy bear to cuddle with and she looked at it and threw it on Carlos yesterday was hugging it and kissing it but then I gave it back to her and then she like got all cozy with him but I was like why do you want to throw him on the floor I love how much she loves classical paper I'm very happy about it I'm very very happy about it okay it's been a really long time that you've been on here. Yeah, I was wondering if you will have...

1:25You're fucking busy, don't even. I was wondering if you will have ever... Shut up. ...have me again on the pod. You gotta hold the microphone to your mouth in that mouth. I was wondering if I wasn't up to... No, I'll be being honest with you. I know that you now go to studios and interviews. Our episodes are our most listened to episodes and financially I really need you on here. I am flattered by it. And I'm happy to support. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Your support is really helpful to our life. Thank you for having me. Anytime. It's not anytime. What I would love, love, love to do is go to the studio.

2:04The studio is video, right? We need the video. I should technically be filming this right now. I am half naked and I'm holding a teddy bear. It's not. No, but it's not. We both just had everything showers. When David takes an everything shower, he turns on the higher dose spread light. he turns off the we don't need to share david is not david is he turns off the shower light and he puts on pavarotti loud stefano maria carlas whatever his parts really loud italian opera music blast from the shower do you ever use you don't do you ever use like any of my scrubs or anything no i love my scrubby soap from that's flamingo it's the best unbelievable it's the second second or third block i go through we're literally like i big fan we're using like chips right now like the little like it's very nice and i can wash my back now by the way this is not a commercial space just love i bought one for the store too meanwhile i used like 45 products in the shower just now and i feel i wash with a block of soap yeah we know you're so cool in the maintenance no but i didn't mean it that way no you're so cool in the maintenance i get it i'd like you to use a face wash you gave me one for a minute that i was using it forgot what it was oh yeah it ran out i didn't get you more i'm just gonna start putting stuff in your little cubby it's it's right there it's available for you well davide by the way it is 10 15 at night and davide is going to the airport at four in the morning we got to a really funny like couples moment this morning davide has to go on a work trip to greece and he needs to stop in new york for a fitting for a broom.

4:00It's a very... Yes. So yesterday was Wednesday. By the way, I like to say that I love to do... You've been doing a lot of grooms. Yeah, it's beautiful. It's very fulfilling. It's very nice. You saw one last week. It's really cute. He gets emotional and he's like all excited. It's so cute. So Davide's flight to Greece is from New York to Greece on Saturday, but he knew he needed to get to New York for like a few hours the day before, which is a Friday. And Wednesday, yesterday as we were driving to Carmela's autism surf camp, he was like, can you look up flights for me? So I was like, you know, we know the flights by this time.

4:43It's like a six 30, a seven three, whatever. So then this morning, whatever the Delta app was being annoying. So he called Delta. Delta has a great customer service. They always answer. No, but when you are, I have status. So, so it's based on that. Anyway, I hear him book the thing, whatever. And so then I said to him, what time is your flight tomorrow? I can't. And he said, 540. I said, he boards a 540. No, you said 540. I said 540 wasn't an option. There is no 540 Delta New York flight. I said, the flight. No, no. Yes. On my dead father. Please, Coach Robbo, leave him. Coach would love. I just said to you.

5:31I'm sitting right here and you looked at me and you said, 540. I said, that's not a thing. You mean the sick. And I know. But to me, what matters is the boarding time. If I am planning a whole time leaving the house. But that's not how anybody. Is that I am boarding at 540. So then the flights would be the 540 flight. That's what would be listed on the Delta flight. If you ask the captain so-and-so, then tomorrow is... I'm sure the captain so-and-so had the same conversation with his wife. No. And his wife was like, honey, what time are you flying tomorrow? It's like, you know, tomorrow is a 630 flight.

6:11I'm going to ask him tomorrow. I'm like, sorry, captain. I'm going to record it for you. I'm going to say, captain. Please don't waste the captain's time. Question for you. Good morning. Can I check your... He's going to say the 630 flight. Because any normal person knows that the flight takes off. It's the takeoff time. Actually, I am positive that the captain would say to his wife, honey, you know, I have like a 5 a.m. because he probably has to go through TSA. That's not how it works. Then you'd say I have the fucking. I literally need you to stop talking. To make himself coffee, to make sure that everything is in place.

6:48That's not. Stop. I am positive that he's there. If you say my flight's at 6.30, I'm leaving at 4. I'm leaving at 4.30. That's how every human has talked about flights. Well, I am a frequent flyer. I am a frequent flyer. You wanted me to give you the total of my miles flying? What's annoying about you is you want to have, and this is where you are so interesting to me, because you want authority in this space, but you're doing something. I don't want authority. First of all, you articulated this very poorly. You just said I'm a frequent flyer. I don't want any authority. I'm not a I want authority kind of guy.

7:26You want to be right. I'm just saying, and I don't want to be right either. Yes, you do. That's not what I'm, I don't want to be right at all. All I'm saying is that if I am addressing with you at what time I'm flying the day after, means that you're probably being concerned of what time I will leave the house. I said what time is your flight? In order to get to the airport. It's about what time the flight's taking off? My 620 fly, which boards at 540. You said 540, and there's no 540 flight. There's a 630 flight. So moving forward. So now. Are you in like the last row of the plane? Oh, I have a nice ticket.

8:06No, you don't. Yeah, no, I got a finger. I got a prayer. Can we look? We'll do it later. No, it's important to me. I'm on a meal, please. I'm going to get a prayer once I'm there. Yes. this is another fight we get in it's okay I'm gonna get uprated right before I always want him to be comfortable and he books the cheapest you are darling we have miles I'll use my mile stop at the 6.35 the love of my life because then you land and then you go straight to work I gotta go straight to the point but it's okay the next day I actually realize that hopefully if we don't need to adjust anything I have a nice day because it's a red flight oh it's a red eye did you even book a fucking hotel yeah what when did you do that we always stay at the bowery and for and you always said to me just so nice it's so nice you should try you should try you try so you just raw dogged but you're still hotel yeah i'm very proud of myself wow yeah do you want to know something i did that you don't know that i did i already rented our car for sicily that is wonderful with six i logged into your account at six at six wow i'm impressed i'm proud of that And I logged into your account to do it.

9:16Very proud. Car rentals in Italy are so expensive. I'm so over it. I'm so over it. I also lied and said we're returning it to Catania when we're not. I always do that. I know. Guys, I know that that's what you do. Yeah. Because it'll give us a worse car if we say we're returning it to Palermo. That's my good. Remember when we had to fly it down to South of France with that little tiny, tiny, tiny car? Okay, so one time. So we always use six. at one time we went to visit our friends in marseille and it was great i don't mean to say it like that but basically this was pre-marseille marseille for everyone we were driving but we were driving from marseille to italy we stopped meanwhile we stopped like in san tropez we were going like we were stopping milan and we were going we went all the way we always do this we like we always this is our first trip where we're not driving from like milan down the entire fucking country to sicily it's too because we drive the whole island over there but we go like listen one day we'll own a home there and we'll be in one place the whole time but right now we do like five nights on his on like the catania side of the island because that's where his family's from and then we bop over to another spot to see friends and then we bump over to another spot and then we'll have a vacation spot where we are for like seven days where we don't see fucking anybody and it's just us and then we see our our friends who are also our business partners like we have a lot and we got to see our ceramic guy lots of pieces i got to meet a lot of vendors so we go it's like we're constantly moving and anyway so this one trip was a big one we only had carmela and she's such a little trooper carmela carmela was we were just the three of us incredible we were fucking i remember the time we the summer we did bonza i was impressed with carmela that like carmela is carmela is a cool she's so cool very proud of carmela and we anyway drove from marseille but we landed obviously in france in nice and we were like we are we made a nice car reservation with 6th and you rent the car seat and the whole thing right and this was going to be like our home i remember the time she looked at me and she's like so where are you throwing the car and you should apply i should have lied because you pay a fee you pay like a fee of of a few hundred dollars to return it was honest and said we were returning the car in italy and obviously the people in france don't want their car.

11:57It was like an SUV. Each location get only a few amount of special cars. Yeah, so they were like, this is shitty of us, by the way. So we were like, this is so shitty of them. But so they took away the nice car reservation we had and gave us a small car. The car was so small. And then we had Carmela's car seat behind me, her Duna. My knees were pressed against the front of the car. from for two weeks that's great on on drives with six to eight hour stretches and i remember that i could only put the luggage behind you dude big sorry this the duna behind you because i had the luggage all the luggage no we we were to put the seat it was i we left the cover on the parking.

12:50It was... We were... It was a clown car. Yeah, yeah. It was very little. It was a clown car. I looked gigantic in that car. Yeah, it was a very little tiny car. I was so fucking mad. So, to avoid that, please, tomorrow, if you remember, you will never remember. You're going to forget and we're going to get there. We're going to get a small car with two kids, two seats, and lots of luggage. But it's okay. That's the beauty of... I'm packing light this time.

17:24podcast on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you like to listen.

17:38How does Davide experience your ADD and how does he support you? How is when this was the show? Davide is a barely functioning human being.

17:53i thought the question was you don't know how to use a fucking cell phone i literally don't know i just you just witnessed me being mind blown that he booked his own fucking hotel yeah no no i called by the way the hotels to book hotels yeah no i called delta to book my phone if i'm not in front of a computer i have a hard time answering an important email I gotta have a keyboard to visualize. I'll tell you how old me. Yesterday, I was like, Carmelo has surf camp for angels. It was called Surfers Healing. What a day, by the way. Big hug to Surfers Healing. Angels, people on earth. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

18:41I was like, listen, you need to take a day off in the middle of the week to go. And everything happened. Nothing happened. A normal work day happened. But Davide can't, like he had a call about his new website. This could have been an email. This fucking Google Zoom could have been a fucking email. But he can't communicate that way. He needs to have a long conversation face to face with people and And we get in the car and he's like, God fucking damn it. Like, I need to be at my office in front of my desk to have this fucking website call. And then obviously I'm in the car, so I'm overhearing this call.

19:27And the whole time I'm like, shut up. Like, this can't be real. This can't be real that this is a call. Yeah, but guess what? It could have been a four-sentence email. myself and often often the thing that i over explain happen and and i have witnessed this he's not i mean he's not wrong the operators and to all the business it's this stage where you know what is going to happen even the good in the bed i know i will and he happens i will say and you get So many because you're like, I told you what happened. And so far in this journey, not to sound like that guy, I love my life. I love what we've been building.

20:15I love what I do. I am lucky, blessed, and privileged. But all the things that could have gone wrong with my business materialize in front of me. And every time I call it, I was like, these guys, now we have a little team. Like, guys, careful, because this is what is going to happen. I've been running it for so long by myself. I don't even know how. I don't even know how this has been working. You're unbelievable. And now that I have two people helping me, I'm like, this is going to happen. Watch it, because this is going to happen. Davide also likes to find young people and train them and make them like his people for life.

21:05So I think that's the only way in what I do and how I like it. So he's training people on how to do wholesale, which is fucking insane. And I'm like, just hire a fucking wholesale person. But Davide has his, he has his. So my ADD is not an issue. My ADD is an issue for myself when getting work done. And that's like crossing things off my own to-do list. Davide is an 85-year-old. He's an Italian man. And he has his process for how things need to be done. And if they're not done in that way, then he trips the fuck out. And the last week I've been like, hey, so like I need you to shut the fuck up.

21:54I'm let you I'm let you express What it Easy With Baruncini we've been having those moments But how many times How many times I told you Watch it if you don't do that way This is gonna happen Many times And the way that you do things like on that call Yesterday where you ask them like The same thing multiple times But in multiple different ways But I'm saying you were right because when I, every like big boss that I've worked for that trained me, trained me in that way. Over ask, over make sure, get it in writing. Because ultimately people don't use the same amount of detail that you do because it's not their company.

22:41And they can make huge mistakes that fuck up your whole shit. And guess what? I reviewed their website this morning. And? There are a lot of things that have to be changed. Yeah. How's it look though? it's phenomenal I'm so excited for you it's beautiful but I say guys how come you didn't send it to me to look over let's don't rush it I sent it to you last night the link I said guys let's don't rush it let's make it right yeah great let's adjust what we gotta adjust in the next few days so you're gonna wait to get back from your trip to launch it correct yeah correct David's being really strategic about that he doesn't want to be traveling while the new website launches so he can not be stressed about having to deal with glitches while he's traveling because david still handles every customer service email i would love for us to move to the question to q a because i don't like when it becomes david

23:40habits i'll tell you because people were going to ask because i just said i'm handling barangini But what the first, so what I'm doing for Barangini and have already done because we've been doing this for so long is I hired like operators that, that set up the company. And then the first thing I'm going to do is hire. And I've talked about this and I've interviewed a couple of people is a, is a, is an operator, like a COO. And that's, we've talked about this multiple times. People always ask like where we're at and we are putting together the line plan. We're putting together the numbers, finalizing the deck.

24:22And I need to just find my COO and I can find them now and have them be a part of the raise process with me, or I could do it afterwards. We'll see. I'm just manifesting my perfect partner because I think, you know, a lot of people launch brands and they want to be like, I'm the founder. I'm the CEO. I'm the creative director. I'm this. I don't want that. I don't need to be that. I don't want to be a hero. I don't want to overextend myself and do things that I don't know how to do for like the sake of glorifying anything. I just, I'm like, you tell me what to do and I'm going to do it. Okay. Someone asked how to tell her man to dress better.

25:00give some advice no but it it's it's i i really don't promote any sort of i really wanted to articulate this in a way that doesn't make me sound like like a dick sorry for my french i don't believe necessarily in tutorials and today there is a little bit of over too many information too many too many things the biggest advice that i always give to people while i'm working at the store monday to saturday i do approach uh clothing besides for myself which is absolutely relative even you know like for for these special events or for every day or for working or whatever it is i do design clothes thinking of how you feel in them and thinking how the clothes fit your world where where they where they are in your world like yesterday you know we we finished surfing and and we are in the parking lot that we are putting some some jump in the water we're putting some clothes before dinner and i'm looking at my clothes on the back of a car with the with with the toys of the kids and the stroller and the beach bag and and at a moment when i felt very very accomplished very proud because the the guy clothes it really yeah fit fit in my life and in my world and my family and i don't need to be too precious about it and i i really like how versatile they are because they can slick my hair and put in the same shirt and I felt that way about LPA yesterday like you had your yeah yeah clothes and I had my LPA clothes and they like functioned so beautifully in our life and he was a pair of pants and a crispy shirt so so if if the all I feel for men's and this is my approach it he he gotta make you feel appropriate your surrounding and where you're going and you gotta be confident in it when you put it on it could be a t-shirt it could be a pair of shorts it could be a shirt it could be a whatever it is a hat if you feel walk in the room and you feel confident strong in yourself and it fit your world and and that might be even more important than the clothing itself so so my biggest advice is just it's about your feel it's it's you know i don't think is uh necessarily on you but it's in you that's okay so that was an existential gorgeous man answer as a woman when you don't like what your man wears you gotta drop little hints so i would start by shopping with your men by the easiest the simplest most of the time especially on an adult age you know father always the best by the way target has really good button downs what's that brand some of my best some some some of my best button downs are from it's called like good something what's the brand called it's called good fellas it's called good felt how the fuck did they get the license to there's a there's a in-house brand for target called goodfellas that has fucking great button downs and they like wear in really nicely if you wanted to to to but but you know that's something you could buy for him i actually not suggest that i suggest just to buy few staple that are good and then you can live with it and the more you wear the better they get and and that to me is is the best advice beside what if you got a gardening or you know I'm always dirty I'm always cooking I'm always with the kids I'm always with the dogs I'm always you know but you want the best of everything the best bottom down white and a light blue phenomenal I've been I have five light blue oxford button down and they're the best.

29:27Pet of gray chinos, pet of gray pet of pants, pet of gray jeans, a beautiful navy suit, a beautiful navy crew neck sweater and a beautiful raincoat and you are in business. You need nothing else. Couple of gray shoe option. That's all you need. I feel like I would be like bring it up in conversation in terms of... No, but I... No, but there's a way that girls have to drop hints to their suit. Yeah, but certain guy likes that, certain guy hates that. I see it all the time. I see guys that loves to come shopping with their wife, wife that come along to shop for their husband, and see husband that really don't like to shop or come by themselves.

30:10It's sensitive because as a woman, if I put in a woman's shoe and I ask my man or my partner, like, you know, I would like you to do that. It's always delicate because the other part might get defensive. And once they get defensive, they close. They kind of do it even worse. I think it's more like, let's do this together. Let's see. Why don't we go together to shop some? That's more inviting.

30:42Skincare is one of those things that gets very complicated very fast. You start with one product. Then you're using five more. and I'm the queen of this. I, for some reason, for so long, not for some reason, because I've marketed this, like in my head had just was using too many things. And that's why I really love bare face. And that's why you hear me talking about it and see me posting about it so much. And I've been using them for over two years. I'm always posting about the toning pads and I'm always posting about the clean slate spritz. I mean, first of all, Jordan Harper, the founder is just like, I just want to bottle her up.

31:22She's coming on the podcast. We were doing an interview. If you follow her on Instagram, you can see what a joy she is, but she wanted to create a skincare lineup that actually supported skin health long-term and not just do quick fixes. And this is because she was working on people's skin as an esthetician for a really long time and was recommending all these products and then like got down to the basis of like what's actually working and was putting such a good program together for her clients that she knew she could make her own brand, which is incredible. And you're going to get the best skin possible without doing like some hundred step situation.

31:56So the toning pads are my most used. I use them every single day. I have not had any acne since I started using these. Life-changing. I travel with them. They're exfoliating pads that help remove some funky texture, that keep my skin smooth, that keep my skin very clear. And it's just one of those things that you notice and get addicted to. The polishing pads I use tonight. I use them when I need a deeper exfoliation. I do this once a week. I have a photo shoot tomorrow and I was like, oof, my skin's looking a little dull. I also have some bumps on my back and the back of my arms. So I use the polishing pads from like my forehead to my nipples and the back of my arms and my upper back.

32:38You can use it on your body to die for. And the clean slate spritz kills bacteria, keeps my skin balanced, keeps it moisturized. I have one in my house, one in my car, one in my bag. I bring it into hot yoga with me. I spray it on my face all day long.
