Sorry, It's Discontinued
“Sorry, It’s Discontinued” celebrates the unsung heroes of the luxury beauty and fashion world. Hosted by Hilary, a seasoned beauty and retail expert, this show invites listeners to "have a seat" with the people behind the counter—to explore who they are, what drew them into this industry, and what keeps them inspired in an ever-changing retail landscape. With online shopping becoming more dominant, store traffic shifting, and stock challenges rising, Hilary brings these rich, human stories to the forefront.
Each episode weaves in fascinating facts about the history of retail, iconic brands, and long-lost products that left their mark. The show reminds us why in-person shopping—and the human connection it brings—still matters. It’s about resilience, hustle, and the real people behind the retail counters in this industry—an industry that relies on connection in a world where connecting is constantly shifting.
