Each creation of Stones fuses Fairchild’s passion for the abstract with highly rated wines to produce rare vessels that transcend the vintage inside; what the brand refers to as the “Hermès of wine.” Fairchild was raised on a cattle and crop farm in rural Nebraska, studied Economics and Political Science at the University of Nebraska, then held a career on Capitol Hill in Washington DC during the Reagan administration. He nurtured his longing for culture, art, and design as a young man on the West Lawn—sipping phenomenal wines among leaders of the free world to a live soundtrack by the National Symphony. His passion for wine began with studying the wines of Burgundy and Bordeaux and eventually found himself in San Francisco, a Midwestern, agriculturalist-turned-politico-turned-culturally attuned anomaly. He began producing Cabernet Sauvignon in 2005, seeking out small sections of rows in exclusive and rare vineyards in the Napa Valley, and now holds some of the most exclusive vineyards in the world. He prides himself on the highly personal relationship he crafts with each Stones Wine client. Outside of the exquisite nature of each Stones and Perrarus bottle, a client’s relationships with Lawrence is often the differentiating factor that draws the greatest appeal.
- [Steven Ehrlich: How this Leading Modern Architect is Incorporating a Wellness Task Force into His Firm’s Blueprints for the Future](https://csq.com/2020/05/steven-ehrlich-how-this-leading-modern-architect-is-incorporating-a-wellness-task-force-into-his-firms-blueprints-for-the-future/) - Steven Ehrlich, a self-proclaimed “architectural anthropologist,” learned early on the significance of architecture’s response to the culture and to the environment. Upon graduating from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Ehrlich spent six years in the 1970s living and working in Africa, serving for two years with the Peace Corps as their first architect in Marrakech, Morocco; he later traveled across the Sahara and taught architecture at Ahmadu Bello University in Nigeria. The wisdom of indigenous building—architecture without architects—was instrumental in forming Ehrlich’s approach to design and continues to influence the firm’s work today. Now joined by three partners with diverse personal backgrounds and experiences, EYRC is a vibrant collaborative practice committed to creating architecture that is globally relevant. The firm’s signature approach known as “Multicultural Modernism” creates meaningful architecture through environmentally conscious designs, cultural meaning and advances in technology and materials.

After graduating from USC with majors in entrepreneurship and French, he moved to France, then to Belgium, where a fortunate meeting with golf legend Gary Player forever changed his career path. Originally, he began developing master-planned communities in Europe with Player. He then moved to Cape Town, South Africa, where he co-founded a firm that developed residential and hospitality properties. In the early 2000s, he returned to the U.S. and began to seek out a distinctive destination in the Caribbean. After 10 months of searching, he and his then-business partner John Fair (developer of famed resort Esperanza in Cabo) discovered Turks and Caicos. It was here that Durliat found a rare combination of perfection and potential. Together with a group of private investors, the beachfront Grace Bay Club was purchased and Durliat led its transformation from a small, 20-plus-room hotel to a five-star property that generates annual revenue of more than $44M. Today, as CEO of Grace Bay Resorts, Durliat has overseen the company’s growth to operating three resort properties with a team of 550 employees and annual revenues of more than $60M, while also heading up its new developments, all on Turks and Caicos.

As a child, he was fascinated with closing credits at the end of movies. The fact that hundreds of people were behind a film being made piqued his curiosity, especially the role of producer or talent manager, the people who cultivate talent and bring support, structure, and guidance to the creative process. Years later, as a young professional working in brand marketing and communications, with a deep love of the decorative arts, he started asking himself: “Why do actors, singers, and other artists have management teams but designers don’t?” He started The Culture Creative in 2010 to pose that question out loud through a hybrid practice, combining his background in marketing with A&R, creative guidance, and career management for the design trade. The Culture Creative was modeled around the entertainment industry and, from the start, it was about filling a white space to represent and nurture talent in the decorative arts in ways the entertainment industry manages talent.

The parks and bodies of water have always called to him, and that had a hand in the ideation of Larq.

Using their proprietary PureVis UV-C LED technology, they are able to deliver clean, sanitized water in under three minutes from any fresh water source, eliminating 99.9999% of bacteria and viruses. In December 2017, they launched on Kickstarter, winning the hearts of thousands of supporters, ensuring our introduction to the global market, and reaching an incredible $1.6M in only 30 days. Today, they still have the same goals: to help people hydrate brilliantly, and lower dependency on single-use plastics. The bottles are just the beginning, and the brand has just announced their first Larq Pitcher, which features a two-stage filtration and purification process that removes more than 90% of lead, chlorine, mercury, cadmium, copper, zinc, VOCs, Radon, bio-contaminants, and more.

Committed to efficacious, high-quality ingredients, every Beekeeper’s Naturals product is completely free of additives, chemicals, refined sugars, and harmful side effects. Beekeeper’s Naturals is also dedicated to sustainable beekeeping—a key pillar of the company—as the global bee population is currently on the decline due to widespread habitat loss, increased use of pesticides, and climate change. Over the last few months, they've seen increased demand, with their bestselling propolis sales up 600% year over year and online orders surging 5-6x their daily average.
