David Tutera Makes DIY Easy With New Michaels Partnership
Entertaining expert David Tutera has a brand new line for DIY lovers that allows them to make their own flowers for any special occasion, including birthdays and weddings. Tutera sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith in Los Angeles to talk about creating the line and what he hopes people get from the project.
Tutera also talks about his shoe line that is exclusively for special occasions, saying the shoes are perfect for brides on their big day since they are shoes "that should be seen." The entertaining expert, who has planned numerous celebrity weddings, gave his take on the Royal Wedding next year, including what he thinks Meghan Markel will wear on the big day.
As a style expert, Tutera is well versed in all things fashion and he says he knew ultra violet with the Pantone color of the year in 2018 before it was even announced. Tutera's DIY Sizzix line is exclusively available at Michaels.
It's been a job hunters market of late, as a mass resignation amid the pandemic has added to millions of openings across businesses. ZipRecruiter co-founder and CEO Ian Siegel explained what people currently are looking for in the labor market. "Survey after survey after survey, whether it's on ZipRecruiter or it's a third-party source, is telling us the same piece of information: over half of job seekers right now are looking for work that is either fully remote or hybrid," he said. "They got a real taste of it during COVID, and they liked it a lot. It's the number one perk that's being requested and you can already see employers starting to shift in that direction."
Celebrity butcher and the third-generation owner of Pat LaFrieda Meat Purveyors, Pat LaFrieda, joined Cheddar to dive into the rapid price surges for beef, poultry, fish, and eggs dubbed a "meatflation" by Bloomberg. LaFrieda noted that the increases were being accelerated by high fuel prices and a shortage of labor like truck drivers. However, he did express some hope that the post-holidays/pre-barbecue season lull in the meat sales market will help reset the market.
Booking.com has unveiled a first-of-its-kind sustainable travel designation for properties that might be on the itinerary of a climate-conscious traveler. CEO Glenn Fogel explained to Cheddar the key metrics a location has to achieve to earn a sustainability badge. Waste handling, energy and greenhouse gases, water usage, local community support, and protection of nature were the five top areas of concern he addressed, with an additional subset of 32 measures that properties can implement.
November is National Entrepreneurship Month. Sam Johnson, EY Americas Vice Chair of Markets and Accounts, joins Cheddar to discuss the winner for EY's National Entrepreneur of The Year award, why entrepreneurship is so important to the U.S. economy, and how entrepreneurs can contribute to the growth and success of Fortun 500 companies.
