We took a trip to an island off Vietnam's southwestern coast & couldn't believe our senses! Have you ever heard of Phu Quoc? If the answer isn't an immediate yes (particularly as a Western traveler), you're not alone. What does luxury look like in 2026? Maybe it's less about excess & more about EASE.

THE SHY MAN’S REVENGE? KEVIN KANE ON: OBSERVATION, ORIGIN + LAW AND ORDER: SVU!
Kevin Kane grew up in South Philadelphia in a large Irish family where storytelling was currency and silence—never empty—was simply the space between punchlines.

LEADING MAN ZEEKO ZAKI ON: PURPOSE, PRESENCE + POWERING CBS’ FBl
When Zeeko Zaki walks into a room the atmosphere elevates. At 6’5, his physical presence is quite-literally undeniable. But what lingers, isn’t just stature; it’s stillness. A quiet, thoughtful countenance. A sense that behind the physicality is someone who has spent a lifetime learning how to read a room before speaking in it.

ACTOR, ENTREPRENEUR ERIC WINTER ON: RISKS, REWARDS, RUM + THE ROOKIE!
There’s a version of this story where Eric Winter becomes a doctor. It’s not far-fetched. In fact, for a while, it was the plan. Raised in Los Angeles, Winter was deep into his pre-med track at UCLA, studying psychobiology, focused, disciplined, moving toward a future that felt structured and certain. Medicine—specifically sports medicine—was the goal. And then, almost casually, everything shifted.
A suggestion. A few photos. A connection made through someone he was datin
