Visionary Minds

As another season of Visionary Minds comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to simply say... thank you.

Thank you for listening, sharing our conversations, recommending inspiring guests, and being part of this incredible journey.

In this special season finale, I reflect on what Visionary Minds is all about: creating honest, long-form conversations with the people shaping the future of brands, business, creativity and leadership.

I also look back at our latest episode with Kiran Haslam, former Chief Marketing Officer of Diriyah Company, who shared his experience helping build the marketing vision behind one of the world's largest giga-projects.

And this is only the beginning.

We'll be back this fall with a brand-new season featuring exceptional guests from India, Qatar, the United States, Europe, Africa and beyond.
Until then, have a wonderful summer.

Stay curious, keep learning, and I'll see you soon for a new season of Visionary Minds.

Une saison s'achève, et avant de faire une courte pause estivale, j'avais simplement envie de vous dire merci.

Merci d'avoir écouté Visionary Minds, partagé les épisodes, recommandé des invités et fait vivre cette aventure à nos côtés.
Dans cet épisode un peu particulier, je reviens sur ce qui fait l'ADN du podcast : des conversations authentiques avec les femmes et les hommes qui façonnent les marques, les entreprises et les idées de demain.

J'en profite également pour revenir sur notre dernier échange avec Kiran Haslam, ancien Chief Marketing Officer de Diriyah Company, qui nous a partagé les coulisses de l'un des plus grands giga-projects au monde.
Et surtout, je vous donne rendez-vous à la rentrée.

De nouveaux invités. De nouveaux pays. De nouvelles industries. Toujours la même ambition : vous offrir des conversations profondes, inspirantes et concrètes avec des leaders venus des quatre coins du monde.

Passez un très bel été.
À très bientôt sur Visionary Minds.

What does it take to build desire for a place that doesn't fully exist yet?
In this episode of Visionary Minds, Wilfried Klucsar sits down with Kiran Jay Haslam, the marketing leader behind Diriyah, Saudi Arabia's $63 billion giga-project and one of the world's most ambitious urban developments.
Together, they explore how you build a global brand from a blank canvas, why marketing is closer to anthropology than advertising, and how heritage, culture and human emotion can shape the future of cities.
Kiran also shares his philosophy on modern luxury, revealing why he believes the greatest luxury today isn't wealth—it's time.
A conversation about branding, leadership, Saudi Arabia's transformation, and what it really means to create desire.

The luxury industry is not going through a rough patch. It is going through a structural reckoning. And most brands are still waiting for things to go back to the way they were. They won't.

In this episode, we sit down with Professor Dr. Daniel Langer (CEO of Équité), Executive Professor of Luxury Strategy at Pepperdine and NYU, and one of the most direct voices in the industry to talk about his brand new report: The Cost of Waiting.

We get into why 80% of luxury brands are optimizing for the short term at the expense of everything else, what China is really telling us about the future of the category, and why being expensive is not the same as being luxury.

If you recognize your brand in this conversation that's exactly the point.
