THE BEST PODCASTS OF 2022

‘TIS THE SEASON TO

Hello, Sunshine!

Sydney Sadick, Margit Brandt I couldn’t be more excited to launch Spotlight on Palm Beach this winter, an expansion of the new millennial-targeted magazine that I launched in the Hamptons last summer and in Miami during Art Basel. It’s particularly meaningful to me as I’ve been coming to PB since I was born. My family has had a home here my entire life, and it’s where I’ve made the most incredible memories with my late grandparents (Hannah and Marvin Kamin) and the rest of my family. Palm Beach is truly home for me and holds the most special place in my heart.

And to be launching during the holiday season is truly a dream! There’s no place more magical than Palm Beach during Christmas/New Year’s time. It quite literally makes my day to pass by the “singing” Christmas tree, as I call it, on Worth

Avenue; the little sleeping Santa in the window of Kassatly’s; the lights along South Ocean Blvd.; and so much more. I can’t think of a better time to come out with our first issue of Spotlight here, which is highlighting the hautest happenings on the island right now.

Spotlight is different from other publications, not only because of our target audience (millennials, but we still create content for all!), but we feature people who are true members of their communities— entrepreneurs, power players, celebrities, all of whom are relevant in a deeper way. So for this inaugural PB edition, I’m thrilled that Margit Brandt, a NextGen real estate power broker, is our cover star. She’s the youngest agent to gross millions of dollars of sales, and is a wonderful example of balancing entrepreneurship and being a mom here on the island. You can read our exclusive interview on page 30.

Peruse the pages of our “Spotters”—in other words, our contributors—who will guide you through what’s trending in lifestyle, parties, fitness, beauty, and more. Man-about-town Michael Gregson Reinert is talking all things scene in his column; Dr. Barbara Sturm, who has a residency at The Colony, gives us the must-have tips and tricks for taking care of your skin this holiday season; Isaac Boots, the fitness star we all know and love, cheers us on with his latest words of inspiration; designer Lele Sadoughi tells us how to make accessories shine; and “We Met At Acme” podcast host Lindsey Metselaar shares her favorite ways to land a potential partner here. It really is a great place to meet and greet!

There are so many other amazing pages throughout this book, so make sure to read closely! Plus—get excited!—we have another issue dropping here in PB this season, in February 2023 for spring.

Enjoy the issue and make sure to tag us on Instagram showing you and your copy of Spotlight!

Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and here’s to a sparkling Palm Beach season ahead!
