In Part 2 of our three-part Hermès series on theMoney & Mimosas Podcast, we dive deep into how Hermès responded to significant market shifts and the 2008 global financial crisis.
While many luxury brands were scrambling to maintain sales, slashing prices, and chasing trends, Hermès took a very different approach.
By doubling down on exclusivity and staying true to their values, Hermès not only survived the downturn but thrived, emerging stronger than ever.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
How to respond when market demand slows or an economic downturn hits without sacrificing your brand's integrity.
The dangers of quick fixes like price slashing and trend-chasing that can erode your brand's exclusivity.
How Hermès maintained their premium pricing and brand equity during a global crisis and how you can apply the same strategy to your business.
If you're a luxury founder wondering how to respond to shifting consumer behavior, geopolitical uncertainty, or a slowing luxury market, this episode is for you. Learn how to build resilience and respond with confidence, not panic.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
