Build It Series: From Wall Street to Fashion IoT with NYCC's Brian Yurachek

Episode 56

Tuesday, October 15, 2024 • Duration 33:15

From Wall Street to Fashion Tech:
What happens when a Wall Street finance pro decides to revolutionise the fashion industry? Join us as we chat with Brian Yurachek, the CEO of New York Culture Club, who ditched the stock exchange for the fashion industry. His journey is not just a career pivot, but a demonstration of how most entrepreneurs find their internal power of creativity and courage to step outside their comfort zone and build something they're passionate about. In this case for Brian fashion IoT. We talk practical strategies for navigating startup challenges, emphasising the importance of prioritising tasks and focusing on build activities that drive growth.

Culture is Code:
Brian's mantra: culture is code. New York Culture Club is pushing the boundaries of digital rights management by embedding microchips in fashion items to offer unprecedented transparency and storytelling. This episode explores the idea of turning consumers into "prosumers" who co-create with brands, adding layers of value and authenticity to their purchases. Brian shares his insights on how culture is becoming a new currency for self-expression, challenging the status quo and inviting us all to contribute to this cultural renaissance. In essence he believes by building fashion IoT solutions it'll shake up fashion's traditional landscape.

Applied Series: Recycling Fashion's Waste with Refact's Pauline Guesné

Episode 43

Tuesday, March 5, 2024 • Duration 37:11

Turning Textile Waste into Recycled Fibres:
Pauline Guesné, co-founder of Refact, once a corporate consultant now turned entrepreneur shares her story of a little French girl dreaming big. Those dreams developed into the desire to do something for the world and in this case fashion, having been shocked by the industry's wasteful nature. Pauline and her team have invented a novel process that utilises a combination of mechanical and chemical recycling processes to break down used garments into reusable fibres. Pauline shares in this episode how that magic happens and the drastic shift it could enact for fashion to become circular.

The Industry's Appetite for Recycled Fashion:
This episode peels back the layers of the glamorous facade to expose the urgent need for a circular economy in fashion. Alarmingly in this conversation Pauline tells host, Peter Jeun Ho Tsang, how the larger fashion players are just not biting and the truth about VC investors still prioritising short term returns over long term humanity's need for advancement. What will these commercial and market challenges mean for circular solutions like Refact?
