  • For this episode, I’m super excited to share my conversations with two really incredible people in the world of sports. First, you’ll hear a special live recording of my chat with the new athletic director at the University of Washington, Troy Dannen. We invited Troy to come speak in front of a group of our top executives because he’s had a lot of great experience managing large groups of people in complex and high-stakes situations. There’s a lot of crossover application between Troy’s job and really any industry, and I know our team gained a lot of valuable insights from listening to his story.

    After that, you’ll hear my conversation with a former Nordstrom employee—the founder and CEO of All In Sport Consulting, Dawna Callahan. Her business works to educate and build training programs for people with disabilities, helping to bring more visibility and opportunity to this community of incredibly talented athletes.

  • In this episode, I’m super excited to share the stories of two incredibly talented women who, in their own way and through their own experiences and perspectives, are helping to evolve and improve the way we do business. First, you’ll hear from the founder and CEO of Harlem’s Fashion Row and Icon 360, Brandice Daniel. Through her work, Brandice is building bridges between designers of color and department stores like Nordstrom to create more accessibility and opportunities in the fashion industry. We’re super impressed with the work that Brandice is doing and proud to partner with her in our ongoing commitment to create more diversity in our offering for customers.

    After that, you’ll meet our new President of Stores here at Nordstrom, Fanya Chandler. This well-deserved title comes after a long career climbing the ladder within our ranks, and we’re extremely lucky to now have her expertise and unique perspective informing our executive team.

  • In this episode we’re turning our attention to a couple of talented young men from very different circumstances, each at the beginning of their careers in two very different industries. What they have in common is that they’ve both been recipients of Nordstrom scholarships. We’ve created and supported several scholarship programs over the years. Some that are more community-based, like our newly added Blake Nordstrom Scholarship in 2022, help to cover basic needs, including housing and food for highly underserved college students in the Seattle area. Others more directly focus on increasing equity and inclusion in the fashion industry, like our contributions to the Virgil Abloh Scholarship through our partnership with the Fashion Scholarship Fund. Today you’ll hear from Joel Bervell, a current medical student at Washington State University, dubbed “The Medical Myth-Buster” by his 1M+ followers on social media. Joel also happens to have spent a summer selling menswear at Nordstrom. After that, I’ll chat with two-time Nordstrom Made Scholar and founder of the brand Hikari no Yami, up-and-coming fashion student and designer Jakarie Whitaker. Joel and Jakarie represent only a couple examples of our efforts to support talented and deserving young people, but their stories prove just how important these investments are, and we’re extremely proud to have played even a small part in helping them to achieve their goals.

  • Nordstrom has had the great pleasure of participating in an organization called IGDS: The Intercontinental Group of Department Stores, which connects some of the biggest retailers across the globe to learn and grow from each other. Along the way, we’ve gained a lot of great relationships, one of which we’re excited to feature on the show today. Scott Fyfe is the current CEO of iconic Australian department store David Jones. Since joining the company in 2020, he has helped resuscitate this historic brand back from near extinction. Scott talks about some of the strategic moves he’s initiated and talented teams he’s assembled to put David Jones back on the road to profitability. It’s a great conversation that any struggling retailer can learn from and one of the reasons why the IGDS is so valuable—to share ideas and learn from some of the greatest businesses in the world.

    After that, you’ll hear my conversation with loyal Nordstrom customer Lili Tomovich, who shares her experience sheepishly returning a pair of well-worn athletic shoes.

  • In this episode we're sharing a special live recording of The Nordy Pod from on stage at a conference for the International Council of Shopping Centers. My guest: innovative retail mall developer and operator, Rick Caruso. Now, if you've ever actually visited any of Rick's properties, you've likely noticed that there's something different about them. Rick and his team at Caruso are extremely mindful about creating environments that transport you to a better, and definitely safer place. Caruso is responsible for some of the most incredible shopping centers in California, including The Grove at the iconic Farmers Market in Los Angeles, The Americana at Brand in Glendale, The Commons at Calabasas, The Promenade at Westlake, The Lakes at Thousand Oaks, Palisades Village in Pacific Palisades and the Rosewood Miramar Beach in Santa Barbara. Nordstrom has had a great relationship with Caruso as they've been very hospitable hosts for several of our stores. I'm super grateful that Rick agreed to come chat with me at the ICSC conference. He has a really unique and valuable perspective on some of the big hurdles we face today in our industries. I think you're going to learn a few things from this conversation.

  • To kick off the new year we thought it would be fun to take a little stroll down memory lane and look back at some of our favorite Nordy Pod moments from 2023. We've had a lot of fun making this thing and chatting with all the fascinating people that have agreed to come on the show. Fashion icons like Domenico De Sole, Anna Wintour and Will Welch, incredible fashion designers like Simone Rocha and Erdem, successful brand partners like Gucci Westman and David Neville of Westman Atelier, Caspar Coppetti of On running shoes, Anastasia Soare of Anastasia Beverly Hills and Ben Gorham of BYREDO. We've also had the great pleasure of chatting with a slew of really amazing athletes and entertainers like former NFL wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks Doug Baldwin, former NBA All Star of the Chicago Bulls Bob Love, Grammy award-winning hip-hop artist Macklemore and TV and film star Joel McHale. We're proud to highlight some of our employees that have used Nordstrom as a platform to build really impressive careers. For example, three of our very best salespeople: Jesse James Barnholdt, Gregory Clark and Jeffrey Ola. This year has also taken us out of the studio and into some really interesting places, like our distribution and fulfillment centers and to the very end of our merchandise food chain, to our Last Chance stores. We've also shared several really great customer experiences on The Nordy Pod, including a bit of negative feedback. Overall, it’s been a really fun year and we're really proud of what we've been able to put together, so we hope you enjoy this special look back at The Nordy Pod in 2023.

  • Core to Nordstrom's values is our commitment to leaving the world better than we found it. We're proud to partner with a number of different organizations that help us do this. In 2023 we will donate over $12M to 350+ different charity organizations in communities we serve across the United States. So, in the spirit of the giving season, we're using this episode to highlight some of the folks involved with two important causes we've supported over the past several years: Operation Warm and Shoes That Fit.

    First, we'll hear from Heather Connolly, the VP of Partnerships at Operation Warm, about how the organization provides brand new coats to children in underprivileged communities all across the country. Then we'll catch some of the excitement at an Operation Warm distribution event in the Seattle area with our very own field correspondent, Kent Worthington.

    After that we'll hear about our second giving partner from Amy Fass, the Executive Director and CEO at Shoes That Fit. Similarly, Shoes That Fit provides new name-brand athletic shoes to kids in need in all 50 states. 2023 marked our 13th year partnering with Shoes That Fit, and together with our customers, we raised more than $1.1 million and donated more than 50,000 pairs of shoes to kids in our local communities. To top it all off we'll hear from loyal Nordstrom customer and Shoes That Fit supporter Kenji Morinaga. This episode is chock-full of good feels and great people, and we hope it adds a little extra warmth to your holiday season.

  • In this episode, we're opening up a time capsule from the year 1998. Placed in the wall near our front entrance, it commemorates the grand re-opening of the new flagship store in downtown Seattle. That year would also hold another huge milestone moment for Nordstrom that would change the way we do business forever: the creation of Nordstrom.com. Listen as we dive deep into the origins of our digital storefront with one of the founding leaders of Nordstrom.com, Bob Schwartz. We'll also explore the continued evolution of this digital landscape and where Nordstrom.com stands today with our current President of Digital and Customer Experience at Nordstrom, Miguel Almeida.

    But before all that, you'll hear from one of our brand partners that just happened to be visiting us recently from Germany, Carl Seibel of Josef Seibel shoes.

  • In this episode we're on a bit of a field trip out to my alma mater, the University of Washington. We were invited here to the Foster School of Business by Dr. Marty Matthews who's a professor of marketing—and she also happens to be a Nordy Pod listener. She emailed me awhile back letting me know that she's actually been assigning Nordy Pod episodes as homework in a few of her classes. So, we thought it might be a fun idea to go in person and speak to her students for the show. First, we sit down with Professor Matthews herself to learn a little bit about her background and then we head over to the classroom to meet with her marketing students. And I've got to say, I love whenever I get the chance to hear from young people about their experience with Nordstrom. They've always got interesting stuff to say, and I often gain useful insights that I can take back and share with our team. So, we're super excited to get the opportunity to get a glimpse into these bright young minds, eager to dive into the wide world of business.

  • Ben Gorham has had a particularly interesting journey to entrepreneurship. Having spent his entire young life pursuing a career in basketball, it may come as a surprise that he ended up creating a super successful luxury and fragrance brand. But Ben's ambitions to play basketball were stifled by a technicality in international contracts, cutting his professional career short. Then, by a chance meeting Ben turned to an entirely different industry. Since setting the groundwork for a fragrance business, experimenting with smells through candle making out of his own kitchen, Ben's obsession has grown into a massive luxury brand found in huge retail stores across the globe. Nordstrom has had a lot of success doing business with BYREDO for a long time now and we're super excited that he's come to Seattle to visit and talk with our teams about even more growth. And since he was in the building, I asked him to come into my office to chat with me on the podcast.

    After my conversation with Ben, we're going to do something that we always talk about at the end of every episode, but we’ve yet to actually feature on the show, which is to address some of the negative feedback that we sometimes get. Former employee and long-time customer of Nordstrom, Vicki Redding, has agreed to come on the show and share her perspective on the ways in which Nordstrom has changed—and not for the better.

  • In this episode, we're doubling down on my conversations with the Nordstrom Board of Directors to uncover more invaluable insights from this prestigious group of business leaders. In part one, we heard the unique backstories of each board member and followed their incredible career journeys to the point in which they were considered for the Nordstrom board. For part two, we're going to dig a little deeper to learn about how boards have evolved over the years and what makes them different today. We'll talk about some of the unique challenges that we face as a group. We'll discuss what each board member has learned from their experience on our board. And, though I often get advice from them directly, we'll share some of their thoughts on how Nordstrom can improve. If you haven't listened to part one, what are you waiting for? Go back now and listen! If you're all caught up, let's get into it!

  • In the next two episodes we’ll be taking a special in-depth look at a group of incredibly talented individuals with uniquely impressive professional backgrounds. What do all of these people have in common? They're all members of the Nordstrom Board of Directors. Stacy Brown-Philpot, Jim Donald, Mark Tritton, Kirsten Green, Brad Tilden, Amie Thuener O'Toole, Atticus Tysen, Glenda McNeal and Eric Sprunk all bring invaluable expertise and a diverse set of skills from their leadership positions at some extremely successful companies. In part one of our two-part series about the board of directors we'll be getting to know each member, learning about their personal and professional backgrounds and what makes each of them such valued additions to our team. You'll also hear their perspectives on what exactly it is that a board of directors does, and what qualities make for a highly effective board.

  • In this episode we’re shining a light on one of our industry's most exciting events of the year, and that's London Fashion Week. We're kicking the show off by speaking with someone who knows a lot about this subject: Nordstrom Women's Designer Fashion and Editorial Director Rickie De Sole. Rickie then takes the helm and chats with Caroline Rush, CEO of the British Fashion Council, about her role in supporting emerging designers and established fashion houses throughout this massive event. In advance of London Fashion Week, we were super fortunate to talk with esteemed British fashion designers Simone Rocha and Erdem, who had two of the most acclaimed collections from the event. WWD wrote that Simone Rocha's show "cast a romantic spell"; Harper’s Bazaar called her collection "extremely covetable." British Vogue lauded Erdem’s collection's "historical significance and mind-blowing sense of resourcefulness." We'll be digging into the designers' creative muses and exploring their unique backgrounds to discover how they've earned such revered reputations in the London fashion scene and around the world. London Fashion Week is a very important time for us, and a lot of fun for our teams that get to travel and see some incredible fashion shows. So, we've decided to bring a little bit of that excitement to you through The Nordy Pod!

  • For this episode Pete's taking the hot seat and fielding questions from The Nordy Pod editor, Nathan Shields, and co-producer, Kent Worthington. They discuss Pete's trajectory from stock boy to president, the likelihood of career detours, and important lessons in humility, authenticity, loyalty and hard work passed down directly from his father, Bruce Nordstrom. Pete also talks about the benefits of starting The Nordy Pod and how it's aided in expanding his curiosity in ways that help him to be a more effective leader. You'll also hear an incredible service story from Kent, who has held many different jobs within the company, which exemplifies some of the core values that make Nordstrom a lasting business. So much so, that Pete is confident that the integrity of the brand will endure long after he hands off the reins to the next generation of leaders. Reluctant to take credit for his own influence, Pete expresses great pride in every Nordstrom associate across the company that continually strives to exceed customer expectations day in and day out.

  • If you follow professional basketball, chances are you've heard a booming broadcast by the incredible Kevin Calabro. And if you’ve been so lucky, then you know what a thrill ride it is listening to his exhilarating play-by-play. By his own admission, Kevin wants listeners to know that he's having fun on the mic, because that's what sport is all about! As a kid he remembers gaining an appreciation for radio, listening to famous baseball announcers with big personalities like Jack Buck and Harry Caray, and began exploring his own vocal chops as early as high school. Continuing through college and beyond, Kevin's reliability as a play-by-play announcer strengthened enormously. After a year of calling minor league hockey and a bit of Purdue University basketball, he was eventually given the opportunity to move up to the big leagues. His first time announcing for NBA games would be in 1983 for the Kansas City Kings, but it's not until 1987 that Kevin would join a team that is very near and dear to my heart, the Seattle SuperSonics. With 20 years of his voice guiding us play by play through victory and heartbreak, Kevin has become my absolute favorite way to listen to basketball. We'll discuss the eventual end of his time with the Sonics, (which I myself, having been part owner of the SuperSonics at the time, regrettably shared some part in) but since then Kevin's had nothing short of an incredible career. Having called NBA games for several national broadcasting networks like ESPN Radio, TNT, TBS and NBA TV, as well as announcing for the Seattle Sounders soccer team and now the Portland Trail Blazers, he's even lent his voice to several NBA video games! I am super lucky to have had the opportunity to know Kevin for many years, and I'm sure you're going to love diving deeper into his story.

  • Through their investment firm, Imaginary Ventures, Nick Brown and Natalie Massenet have proven time and again the importance of their role in the consumer ecosystem. They understand better than most how difficult it can be to start a business from scratch, so they use their knowledge and resources to prop up promising young startups and get them moving in the right direction. And the status they've achieved as respected and influential stewards of growing businesses is well deserved. In her early career Natalie honed her skills predicting consumer trends as a journalist for Women’s Wear Daily, eventually founding the massively successful high-fashion e-commerce platform NET-A-PORTER. Nick built his portfolio through a few really wise bets on some exciting up-and-coming brands like Warby Parker and Reformation, quickly garnering a reputation as the go-to-guy for fledgling founders. As self-described "generalist investors" Nick and Natalie's interest in potential partners is governed less by a specific genre—like fashion or beauty—and more by the character traits of the business leaders themselves, stating that founders need to have a well-balanced and open-minded approach to growing their business if they ever hope to be successful. There's a lot of really great insight here about the world of investment and retail in general, especially if you're an early-stage founder looking to make your mark.

  • For this episode we’re taking a special in-depth look at our biggest fashion event of the year, the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. Join me as I sit down with my brother Erik and cousin Jamie as we look back on its unique history and reminisce over our favorite Anniversary Sale memories. We’re also going to take a trip over to our store in Bellevue to catch a glimpse of their Early Access opening day. We’ll talk with store manager Laura Best and a few other employees about what you can expect when you walk into the Anniversary Sale as a customer. We’ll even chat with a few long-time customers who’ve made shopping the sale a yearly tradition. And to round it all out we’ll hear from our chief marketing officer, Deniz Anders, all about the fresh new ways and persisting old ways we rev up excitement for the big sale.

    It’s a one-of-a-kind event that inspires a lot of joy in employees and customers alike and creates endless opportunities for us to follow through on our mission to make customers feel good and look their best. So, sit back and enjoy this deep dive into the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

  • On the surface you may think this episode is just another excuse for me to selfishly bring another famous athlete into my office to talk sports, and I guess that's part of it, but Doug Baldwin is so much more than just a successful football player. His incredible determination that would eventually win him a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks in 2013 was a hard-fought character trait forged through a lifetime of proving his worth to everyone around him. By his own admission it wasn't until long into his professional career, signing multi-million dollar contracts, that he thought, "Oh, maybe I do add value to this team." And though I was certainly aware of Doug Baldwin from his impressive football accolades, he ultimately sparked my interest as a potential guest on The Nordy Pod because of the amazing things he's been doing for the community of Seattle post football. Let me tell you, for someone who's been notoriously described by NFL commentators as angry, he sure seems like a really good guy. In our conversation we discuss Doug's early childhood struggle for validation, his reasons for retiring from the NFL and his motivation for building better communities wherever he goes. I am super grateful that Doug agreed to come in and share his story, and even if you know nothing about sports, this conversation is sure to inspire you in ways you did not expect.

  • Recently I was invited to attend the Women's Wear Daily Beauty CEO Summit and had the great pleasure of speaking on stage with the Queen of Eyebrows, founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills, Anastasia Soare. Now, I don't personally know a whole lot about styling eyebrows, but what I do find super fascinating about Anastasia is her uncompromising entrepreneurial spirit. She found an untapped niche in the field that she loves and has built a whole cosmetics industry empire that competitors cannot ignore. You'll hear all about that startup journey and her incredible success along the way, garnering respect from the likes of Oprah Winfrey and becoming a go-to stylist for big name celebrities like Cindy Crawford and Jennifer Lopez. Anastasia's breakthrough techniques and products have radically changed the industry, and we here at Nordstrom are super grateful to have had the opportunity to partner with her in this ground-breaking movement.

    After my conversation with Anastasia, join me for a special trip down to the beauty department at our flagship store in Seattle to get a little taste of the kinds of services we provide, and the people you might meet. And because I'm a little less familiar with the subject matter, I've invited our divisional merchandise manager for beauty, Debra Redmond, to be our guide. Debra's experience and leadership has been a huge asset to our team, and she really understands the nuances of helping customers through a department that can honestly be a bit daunting. So, follow along with us to learn more about how we're working to make your experience as a customer as efficient and satisfying as possible.

  • You guys are in for a treat because our guests for today are truly some of the most authoritative thought-leaders shaping the landscape of modern fashion. And, as you'll hear, everything tangential to it. As heads of Vogue and GQ, two of the world's leading fashion and lifestyle magazines, Anna Wintour and Will Welch are essentially gatekeepers at the intersection of art, fashion, culture, sports, business and everything in between. Anna, quite literally a legend in the business, is famous for championing exciting new designers and ushering new trends to the forefront of public attention. And Will, an incredibly talented writer and editor, has deservedly risen through the ranks of GQ, reinventing their image and business practices on a global scale. In our conversation we discuss the radical evolution of the fashion industry from highbrow to accessible, the incredibly fast-paced nature of digital trends and what Anna and Will believe makes a great fashion house leader. I’ve been lucky enough to know Anna and Will personally and have immense respect for both of them and their influence on our industry. I know you're going to enjoy hearing the insights of these amazing tastemakers. So, let's get into it!
