Nice Guy Nordstrom

Author: Audacy | Puck September 2, 2025 Duration: 1:38:30
Lauren sits down with Pete Nordstrom, co-C.E.O. of the Seattle-based department store group. They cover a ton of ground, from how he got into the family business, to how the company has remained family run for four generations (without that much trouble). They also discuss the recent take-private, the state of multi-brand retail, Sir Phillip Green (pre-cancelation), Pete’s hiring philosophy, the hardworking Rickie De Sole, why he still loves being a merchant (really), and plenty, plenty more. Pete also has a great podcast that you should check out called the Nordy pod.

Lauren Sherman, a Puck correspondent, pulls back the curtain on the high-stakes world of style and commerce in Fashion People. This isn't about seasonal trends you can see on the runway; it's about the seismic shifts and whispered conversations that actually shape the industry. Each episode features a rotating cast of insiders, offering unfiltered perspective on the real forces at play. They dig into the surprising mechanics behind creative director musical chairs, unpack the billion-dollar mergers and acquisitions that redraw the corporate map, and examine why some direct-to-consumer darlings stumble. You'll get the inside take on magazine upheavals and the unvarnished truths that never make it into a polished press release. This audio experience extends the work of Lauren's private Puck newsletter, Line Sheet, creating a space for nuanced discussion that lives between the lines of fashion, beauty, and the business that connects them. Tune in for a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the personalities, power plays, and pivotal moments defining a multi-trillion-dollar global industry. This podcast, from Audacy and Puck, feels like eavesdropping on the most informed conversation in the room.
