  Chelsea Nassib - Founder, Tappan

  Jul 30, 202539 minS1

  Today’s guest saw something in the art world that many sensed—but few dared to challenge. Chelsea Nassib, founder of Tappan, is my guest today, and after graduating with a degree in painting, Chelsea stepped beyond the traditional gallery system to create Tappan—a platform designed to connect emerging artists with collectors around the world. What began as a bold experiment in accessibility became a movement, redefining who gets to buy art, who gets to sell it, and how we experience it. At its core, Tappan isn’t just a marketplace; it’s a living dialogue between artists, collectors, and the culture at large. Chelsea’s vision has shaped a new generation of collectors—and opened doors for artists whose voices might otherwise have gone unheard. In a world where the art market has often felt gated—by price, by pedigree, by opaque tradition—Chelsea set out to reimagine the way collectors and artists connect. As both an artist and a founder, Chelsea brings a rare dual perspective on collecting, creativity, and the evolving role of the gallery in our culture. So without further adieu, this is Chelsea Nassib, for Collectors Gene Radio.

  Micaela Erlanger - Celebrity Fashion Stylist

  Jul 9, 202545 minS1

  Today’s guest has shaped some of the most unforgettable silhouettes to grace the red carpet—from Lupita Nyong’o to Meryl Streep. But behind the Hollywood glamour is a mind wired for history, preservation, and obsession. Micaela Erlanger is not just a celebrity stylist—she’s a fashion historian and a true collector at heart. Her eye goes beyond surface beauty, attuned instead to rarity, provenance, and the quiet stories stitched into every seam. In this episode, we talk about the pieces that whisper rather than shout. About the role of instinct, reverence, and authorship in both styling and collecting. And how, in Micaela’s world, every garment is more than clothing—it’s a document of time, intention, and identity.

  Steven Rodel - Creative Director, Guy Goodfellow

  Jun 25, 202554 minS1

  Today on Collectors Gene Radio , I’m joined by Steven Rodel—the Creative Director at Guy Goodfellow, a studio shaped by the namesake's singular vision over 25 years. Steven works closely with Guy and that legacy, helping bring to life interiors that thread eras together with grace, intuition, and a rare kind of spatial intelligence. The studio’s work doesn’t shout. It unfolds. And draws you in slowly to rooms built on quiet conviction. We explore the idea of design as a form of collecting. Steven speaks to the delicate choreography behind layering decades, balancing restraint with richness, and knowing when a single object should lead—and when it should take a step back. There’s a certain kind of magic in the studio’s work. It doesn’t rely on spectacle. Instead, it reveals itself slowly—through the tension of textures, the conversation between eras, and the placement of one well-loved object beside another. In many ways, Steven’s role is less about decoration and more about composition—an ongoing act of collecting, editing, and storytelling. So without further adieu, this is Steven Rodel, for Collectors Gene Radio.
