  • Jessie Hyman: Pruzan
    Mar 10 2026
    Most brands parachute into communities and leave when the ROI doesn't show up in 90 days. Jessie, founder of Pruzan, took the opposite approach — building a feminine high-performance running brand from inside the communities she was already part of. We talk product design, community strategy, marathon culture, and why the two are never really separate.

  • Mary E. Vogt: Costume Designer
    Nov 13 2025

    In this episode, Maeve sits down with legendary costume designer Mary E. Vogt, whose work has defined the look of films like Batman Returns, Hocus Pocus, and Crazy Rich Asians.


    Mary shares the story behind her creative process—from building character through clothing to balancing artistry with the realities of budgets, studios, and scale. She reflects on how technology and sustainability are reshaping the craft, the misconceptions around costume design, and what it means to leave a creative legacy.


    A masterclass in vision, collaboration, and storytelling from one of Hollywood’s most enduring creative forces.
