Bravo reality television star Carl Radke, a wellness advocate and fitness enthusiast, has always been intentional about his personal style, both in fashion and in fitness. Known for his energetic personality and mindful approach to living, Radke, who has gone sober, recently partnered with Samsung Galaxy to host the 'We Run on Rest' event in New York City, emphasizing the importance of recovery in an active lifestyle with the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and Ring.
Radke led a group run along the West Side Highway, tracking his performance with the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and monitoring his stats on the Galaxy Z Fold7. Recording the run and all the bodily responses, the Galaxy Watch8 comes as a thinner model than previous generations. This is extremely lightweight and has a much brighter screen.
The aluminum case comes in a new cushion shape and interchangeable Dynamic Lug bands. This sleek case hugs your wrist for health readings sent to the Galaxy Z Fold7 device. A longer battery life, capable of going over 2 days without a charge, keeps new fitness tracking features locked in. The screen operates with enhanced performance, powering a reimagined One UI 8 Watch experience for smoother operation.

With an expanded 21:9 Cover screen and even sleeker form, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is easier to hold or tuck away during runs. Whether folded or unfolded, Galaxy Z Fold7 is exceptional, with a main screen that spans 8" across, the most expansive screen on a Galaxy phone. Samsung upholds the idea of seamless integration of fitness and tech, highlighting how modern wearables can enhance both performance and personal style.

Carl Radke has always prioritized looking and feeling his best, whether on-screen or during his workouts. "I've always believed in 'looking good, feeling good, playing good, and getting paid good,'' Radke says, quoting NFL Hall of Famer Deon Sanders. ' It's about the details - socks, sneakers, everything. I'm particular about what I wear."
His recent shift to sobriety has inspired his latest fitness journey. Preparing to run the New York City marathon, Radke sought wearable tech that reflects his commitment to optimizing his health, without sacrificing aesthetics. 'I've bought some wearables in the last six months to track my health,' he recalls. 'My running friends said I needed a watch. I've always worn a nice gentleman's watch, but it doesn't track running. This is the first time I've had something giving me real data and information that's actually pertinent. It's been really helpful.'

Radke has discovered the Galaxy Watch8, having a perfect balance between functionality and style. Its sleek, cushion-shaped design and Dynamic Lug bands ensure a comfortable fit, with the wrist fastening tucking away for seamless wear. While the screen is brighter with customizable watch faces, the Watch8 is thinner and has a lighter build, ideal for both workouts and everyday wear.

This latest model is designed to complement personal aesthetics. The Galaxy Watch8 offers customizable watch faces, allowing users to switch between a minimalist look for daily wear and a data-rich display for workouts, with additional chronograph-style faces. Radke describes it, "I can change the watch face to something simple or more dynamic. It's versatile. I'll say, it's been worth it."

"Samsung makes great products," he admits. "For me, it's about the size and sleekness. I'm a bigger guy, so I need something that fits well and is easy to work with.'
Radke explains further, 'I like what I like to wear. This [Watch8] connects well! It's sleek, sexy, and clean. As a guy, I wear watches, but it's all about the right fit. It's professional but also stylish.'
The Galaxy Z Fold7 to track runs, monitor recovery, and stay connected. The expanded 8" Main Screen provides ample space for viewing Samsung Health metrics, while the slimmer folded form makes it easy to carry. 'The sleep score isn't my favorite, but the functionality is there,' Radke notes. 'It's different, but it works.'

For Carl Radke, fitness is just as much about style as it is data and recovery. With Samsung supporting runners with the latest Galaxy Watch8, the sleek, minimal design Galaxy Ring, and Z Fold7, he has found a blend of performance and sophistication in tracking his health journey, along with the right tech to elevate his workouts and personal aesthetic.

Do Wall Street Analysts Like Paramount Global Stock?
New York-based Paramount Global (PARA) is a leading media, streaming, and entertainment company offering television, film production, and digital content across various global platforms. With a market cap of $8.8 billion, the company owns a diverse portfolio of entertainment brands and provides streaming services, including Paramount+, Pluto TV, BET+, and Noggin. Shares of this entertainment giant have underperformed the broader market over the past year. PARA has gained 16.5% over this time frame, while the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has rallied nearly 17.1%. However, in 2025, PARA stock is up 24.7%, surpassing the SPX's 8.6% fall on a YTD basis. More News from Barchart Tesla Just Signed a Chip Supply Deal with Samsung. What Does That Mean for TSLA Stock? Dear Microsoft Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for Aug. 1 Is Lucid Motors Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold for July 2025? Tired of missing midday reversals? The FREE Barchart Brief newsletter keeps you in the know. Sign up now! Similarly, PARA has trailed the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLC), which has gained about 27.9% over the past year. However, PARA's double-digit returns on a YTD basis outshine the ETF's 10.6% rally over the same time frame. Paramount shares rose over 1% in pre-market trading on July 25, after receiving Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) approval for the company's merger with Skydance Media. This approval marks a significant step forward in the proposed deal, which aims to combine Paramount's extensive content library and global distribution network with Skydance's innovative production capabilities and strong track record in film and television. For fiscal 2025, ending in December, analysts expect PARA's EPS to decline 15.6% year over year to $1.30 on a diluted basis. The company's earnings surprise history is mixed. It beat the consensus estimate in three of the last four quarters, while missing the forecast on another occasion. Among the 23 analysts covering PARA stock, the consensus is a 'Moderate Sell.' That's based on two 'Strong Buy' ratings, 11 'Holds,' and 10 'Strong Sells.' This configuration is more bearish than three months ago, with three analysts suggesting a 'Strong Buy.' On Jul. 28, Seaport Global Securities downgraded Paramount Global from 'Neutral' to 'Sell,' setting a price target of $11 ahead of its August 7 merger with Skydance. The firm cautions that PARA shares may give back recent merger-driven gains after the deal closes. The company will begin trading under the new ticker PSKY post-merger. While PARA currently trades above its average mean price target of $11.67, its Street-high price target of $16 suggests an ambitious upside potential of 22.7%.

Doechii Scores A New No. 1 With A Half-Decade-Old Song
Doechii's viral hit 'Anxiety' debuts at No. 1 on the U.K.'s Official Vinyl Singles and Physical ... More Singles charts, driven by limited edition vinyl sales. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 05: Doechii attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Theo Wargo/FilmMagic) Doechii's song 'Anxiety' has experienced quite the unusual journey. The singer and rapper first shared the tune, which is built around a prominent sample of 'Somebody That I Used to Know' by Gotye and Kimbra, in 2019, when she was still working to become well-known. At the time, it didn't pick up much traction, but die-hard fans never forgot the track. Earlier this year, following her performance at the Grammy Awards and her win for Best Rap Album, the song began to go viral. Doechii wisely re-recorded the composition and officially released it as a single, and it didn't take long for 'Anxiety' to rise into the top 10 on rankings all around the world. Just when it seemed the cut might finally be finished with its chart run, it surges once again, giving the hip-hop superstar another winner. 'Anxiety' Debuts at No. 1 'Anxiety' arrives at No. 1 on the Official Vinyl Singles chart in the United Kingdom this frame. The tune opens atop the tally thanks to its recent release on various limited edition colored wax pressings all around the globe. With this new win, Doechii replaces 'I Miss You, I'm Sorry' by Gracie Abrams, which also took its time climbing to the summit. Doechii's Track Record Remains Perfect Doechii has only ever sent two songs to the Official Vinyl Singles chart, and as 'Anxiety' arrives in first place, her track record remains flawless. In April, 'Denial Is a River' also reached the top space, spending two weeks on the tally before flowing away. 'Anxiety' Hits No. 1 on the Physical Chart Thanks to its vinyl release, 'Anxiety' also rockets to No. 1 on the Official Physical Singles chart, vaulting from No. 24 to the peak position. The track earns the hip-hop powerhouse her second No. 1 on the tally, as it likewise follows 'Denial is a River' on this ranking. Sales Push 'Anxiety' Up Another Tally Purchases of 'Anxiety' skyrocketed in the U.K. recently thanks to the vinyl pressing. That uptick is reflected on the Official Singles Sales chart, where the cut bolts from No. 92 to No. 29 in its nineteenth frame on the roster.

Boho Haircuts Are Trending for Summer
Cher, Brigitte Bardot, Diana Ross, Farrah Fawcett, and Jane Birkin: When it comes to the 1970s, these were the icons in bohemian and disco circles. It's a style (both beauty and fashion) that's still referenced today—just look at the recent Chloé runways if you need some proof. So, what really is a bohemian hairstyle—and how do you find the right style for you? Below, the experts break down five hugely popular current hairstyles that have their roots in '70s style. The Butterfly Haircut Farrah Fawcett, 1975. Walt Disney Television Photo Archives Sabrina Carpenter Taylor Hill Farrah Fawcett's layers are still going strong almost half a century on. According to celebrity hairstylist Guido Palau, the look is easy enough to achieve at home with the right technique. 'Take a hairdryer and run a round brush underneath, then part the bangs so you get that '70s look,' he says. Round-brush shy? A blow-dry brush may be your new best friend. Sabrina Carpenter's take on the look (called a butterfly cut) has a modern edge. For a look that's less voluminous and shaggy, leave the layering until a point just past your bangs, at about chin length. Super Long and Natural Cher in 1973. Getty Images Sacai, Spring-Summer 2025. Cher has had many hairstyles over the years, but her silky, super-straight '70s mane is a real favorite. There were echoes of her peace-and-love look on the runway at Sacai's spring/summer 2025 show. Face-framing Layers and Fringe Jane Birkin. Reporters Associes. Chloé Spring-Summer 2025. Jane Birkin (or, in an alternative universe, Dakota Johnson) is a forever muse for all fans of the boho aesthetic, so it's little wonder that the hallmarks of her beauty look were all over Chloé's spring/summer 2025 runway. Curls and Volume Diana Ross on the set of Mahogany. SilverNEW YORK, NEW YORK - MARCH 05: Simone Ashley attends the Amazon MGM Studios' "Picture This" New York Screening at NeueHouse Madison Square on March 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by)To recreate these glamorous waves, scrunch up your natural curls with a styling cream and style into a side parting for even more volume. Braid-outs can add extra definition for afro-textured hair, or copy Diana Ross in Mahogany and opt for a bouncy blowout. The Wavy Bob Twiggy in 1974. Bettmann Christopher Esber Spring-Summer 2025 Justin Shin / Getty Images Her pixie cut helped to kickstart her career, but the bob that she wore in the '70s signaled a growing up for British supermodel Twiggy. Her chin-length haircut was styled with pronounced waves that appeared to inspire the beauty look on Christopher Esber's spring/summer 2025 runway.
