Welcome to another addition of Rethink Roundup. Your weekly brief to help retail leaders decode the biggest news in retail, AI, and commerce—and understand what those developments mean in practice. In this week's episode, VP of Editorial & Insights Jeremy Goldman joins Zak Stambor (EMARKETER) and Richard Kestenbaum (Triangle Capital LLC) to highlight how retail giants are shifting from reaction to restructuring when facing market disruptions like tariffs and inflation. These titans are completely changing how they manage inventory, set prices, and run seasonal campaigns to build a permanent competitive advantage. INSIDE THIS WEEK'S EPISODE: The Tariffs Front-Loading Surge: Instead of waiting to see how trade policies play out, retailers are treating tariffs as a permanent, predictable business expense. They are aggressively front-loading their inventory, accepting high storage costs today to guarantee their shelves aren't empty tomorrow. - U.S. ports are expected to handle a record 2.47 million import containers in July as retailers rush to get goods in before expected August tariff updates. WALMART'S OFFENSIVE PRICE WAR: The retail giant isn't just lowering prices to help shoppers fight inflation, it is using price cuts defensively and offensively. By slashing margins on highly visible everyday staples (like meat, produce, and soda), they are squeezing out smaller competitors who simply cannot afford to match those discounts. THE JULY BACK-TO-SCHOOL SHIFT: The traditional late-August rush is officially a thing of the past. Amazon Prime Day has permanently pushed the shopping calendar up into July, while shoppers are increasingly using AI discovery tools to map out what to buy weeks before they ever visit a physical store or checkout screen. - 17% of shoppers had already finished most of their back-to-school buying by early July, per CivicScience. Listen above for the full conversation on the trends making us rethink retail this week.

Steve drops serious cash on an M5 Max MacBook Pro right as Apple's Rampocalypse price hikes hit, then immediately bricks his iPhone 14 Pro Max installing iOS 27 Beta 3. The Trio unpacks Apple pulling the liquid glass opt-out after its promised one year, and spins out increasingly unhinged ideas for what a foldable iPhone's split screen could actually be good for. They close out with post-WWDC side project pitches: Kotaro weighing a Retro Sparkle or Fav 10 revival, Aaron dreaming up the ultimate foldable app, and Steve making BentoFit updates with a photography app on his mind.## Chapters00:00 Introductions & Token Economics 10:11 Hardware Upgrades and the RAM Apocalypse 17:47 Bricking an iPhone Installing iOS 27 Beta 3 21:34 UIKit Updates & Reading the Folding Phone Tea Leaves 35:26 Exploring New App Ideas Post-WWDC 47:20 Wrap-Up & Dad Jokes 48:19 Tag ## Show Notes* Steve bit the bullet on a mid-tier, on sale M5 Max MacBook Pro (the best config Amazon had discounted) after Apple's Rampocalypse price hikes made waiting for the redesigned model a bad bet.* The Amazon Prime Day deal saved him around $850 versus buying the same config direct from Apple.* He's already seeing real speed gains in Lightroom, with AI denoise dropping from about ten seconds a photo to three to five.* Steve bricked his iPhone 14 Pro Max installing iOS 27 Beta 3 and had to DFU restore it from an iCloud backup.* iOS 27 removes the liquid glass opt-out entirely, exactly one year after Apple said it would, and it's ugly on unmigrated UIKit apps.* The Trio speculates Apple's foldable iPhone, rumored to run two screens with unusual aspect ratios, is driving the push to force UIKit and scene delegate updates.* They riff on absurd split screen app concepts for the foldable, from a permanent AI chat pane to a Tetris style game that dumps everything onto the bigger screen on unfold.* Kotaro is weighing a Retro Sparkle revival (his three second match three game) or a long overdue Fav 10 rebuild for the next side project.* Aaron wonders who could possibly afford a foldable iPhone that will probably cost as much as a MacBook.* Steve is making BentoFit theme manager updates and floats a photography app as a future project.## Links**Side Project Apps**Retro Sparkle: https://tomatoboy.co/retro | Fav 10: https://tomatoboy.co/fav10**Tools & Services Mentioned**Gas Town (Steve Yegge): https://steve-yegge.medium.com/welcome-to-gas-town-4f25ee16dd04 | GLM 5.2: https://z.ai/blog/glm-5.2**Bento Fit**Website: https://bentofit.app**PhillyCocoa:** https://phillycocoa.orgIntro music: "When I Hit the Floor", © 2021 Lorne Behrman.

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough podcast, host Josh Hadley shares his strategic framework for approaching major sales events like Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. Rather than chasing short-term profits, Josh advocates using these events for customer acquisition through aggressive discounts on front-end products. Using Athletic Greens (AG1) as a prime example, he illustrates how maintaining a cohesive brand promise drives long-term success. Josh also emphasizes the importance of the 3:1 lifetime value to customer acquisition cost ratio as the key metric for sustainable e-commerce growth.Bullet Points:Strategic approach to major sales events (Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday, Cyber Monday)Importance of customer acquisition over short-term profitsUse of aggressive discounts on front-end products to attract new customersCase study of Athletic Greens (AG1) as a successful brand exampleFocus on maintaining a cohesive brand identity and promiseEmphasis on understanding and optimizing customer lifetime value (LTV)Recommended LTV to customer acquisition cost (CAC) ratio for scalable growthImportance of thoughtful product packaging and messaging for customer engagementCaution against short-term gimmicks that can damage brand trustStrategies for using sales events to clear excess inventory and enhance brand equityTimestamps:00:00:00 Approaching Major Sales EventsThe host discusses different strategies for sales events like Prime Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday for e-commerce brands.00:00:52 Introduction to the HostJosh Hadley introduces himself, his e-commerce experience, and the focus of the podcast on building a true brand.00:01:48 Defining a Real BrandA real brand sells a promise to a customer, not just products. The host uses Athletic Greens (AG1) as an example.00:02:52 AG1's Brand Promise StrategyHow AG1 uses a starter kit to introduce customers to their brand promise of convenient health and wellness.00:03:54 Prime Day as Customer AcquisitionThe primary goal of Prime Day should be front-end customer acquisition, not short-term profitability, to build an ecosystem.00:05:57 The Importance of Customer Lifetime Value (LTV)Focusing on the long-term LTV of a customer and the 3-to-1 CAC to LTV ratio for sustainable scaling.00:07:51 AG1's Customer OnboardingAG1's starter kit includes materials to onboard customers into their ecosystem and encourage repeat purchases, building long-term trust.00:09:04 Long-Term Brand Building vs. Short-Term TacticsThe best brands focus on a 3-5 year time horizon, building trust through repetition and delivering on their promise.00:11:06 Creating a Cohesive Brand EcosystemBrands should have a lead offer that introduces customers to an entire ecosystem of products delivering on a single promise.00:13:22 The Two-Pronged Strategy for Sales EventsUse aggressive discounts on acquisition products to attract new customers and use the event for liquidating excess inventory.Links and Mentions:Tools and Websites"AG1 (Athletic Greens)": "00:01:48""Expandify": "00:07:00"General Concepts"Lifetime Value (LTV) Ratio": "00:05:57"Recommendations"Front End Acquisition Offers": "00:13:22""Liquidation Offers": "00:13:22"Transcript:Josh Hadley 00:00:00 One of the biggest topics that's always up for debate this time of year is, hey, how should I approach Prime Day? Should I be aggressive giving out a bunch of discounts? Should I turn off my PPC campaigns and just maximize profitability? Should I actually increase my prices and not decrease them? So I just ride the high of all the traffic that's going to Amazon? Well, today I'm going to be diving into how I'm going to be approaching Prime Day moving forward. And this also includes Black Friday, Cyber Monday as well. Welcome to the Econ Breakthrough podcast I'm Josh Hadley. I've scaled my own ecommerce brand from 0 to 8 figures, and I'm actively building towards nine figures in sales. This podcast is where I document that journey and share the systems, the strategies, and the lessons learned in real time so that you can learn what actually matters and scale your own business. Who am I? My name is Josh Hadley. First and foremost, I'm a man of faith. I'm a husband to a beautiful wife and the father of four children.Josh Hadley 00:00:52 I've been selling in the e-commerce space for over a decade, doing over $20 million in annual revenue, doing multi-millionaire on other sales channels such as Amazon, TikTok, Shop and Shopify, and also the host of the number one e-commerce podcast for business strategy. And that is Ecomm breakthrough. Today, I want to share with you our mindset of how we're approaching Prime Days moving forward. This also includes how we're going to be approaching, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and what some of the best brands out there in the e-commerce space are doing. I think that this is game changing because this kind of piggybacks off of what I've talked about in the past, which is, are you actually building a true brand, or are you just trying to sell products on Amazon, or are you just a product brand that's just slapping their brand name on a bunch of different random products that don't have a whole lot of cohesion? If that's the case, you probably don't want to listen to the rest of this podcast episode because it's not going to be relevant for you.Josh Hadley 00:01:48 This is going to be for those sellers that are actually trying to build a real brand. And what does a real brand mean? It means you're not just selling products, it means you're selling a promise to a customer, and then you're actually able to deliver on that promise to a customer. Now, one of the best examples that I want to dive into is aji one. And aji one does an excellent job of this on Amazon because they know exactly who they are as a brand. You don't just see Aegon all of a sudden coming out with, hey, now they're selling socks. Aegon supplements is not coming out with, you know, iPad covers or cell phone cases or anything like that. They're not an opportunistic, you know, product business. Instead, they are actually a brand trying to serve a very specific target market and customer delivering on the promise of, hey, if you come to us, we will provide you with the fastest, easiest way to get all of your vitamins and minerals in a very efficient way so that you are living your best life, that you are living, you know, in an optimal health environment.Josh Hadley 00:02:52 Okay. That's their brand promise. Now, are they actually able to deliver on this promise. And so ultimately, I share with you this example because this is what's going to be kind of set the foundation for why you're going to execute prime days and all of the big deal days like Black Friday, Cyber Monday in a new framework. So with AG one, one of the things that they do knowing their brand promise is how do I introduce people to our products to let them know, hey, they're tasty, they're easy, they're convenient, and hopefully you feel better while you use these. That's their brand promise. Okay, so how do they do that? Well, they have a seven day starter kit that they sell on Amazon. Now. They also sell some of their other SKUs on Amazon as well. But one of their key things and I just pulled it up. They're doing over 2000 units a month just on their one supplement, ...
Jill shared her experience attending a stage production of Shrek at the Muni in St. Louis, where a representative from Mind’s Eye approached their small group of seven attendees to take a picture. Terry mentioned a recent theft involving stolen checks from Madison County Association of the Blind, with one suspect arrested by the Madison County Sheriff for check fraud totaling around $4,000. Keith shared updates about recent activities, including a family picnic where his grandson was the only one to catch a large bass fish, and his Amazon Prime Day purchases including an extra Shocks Open Run Bluetooth headset and Aftershocks wireless charger. He discussed challenges with adding items to their website storefront and mentioned plans to help Robin with an art easel and chalkboard for the kids. Keith also updated the group about having Isaac assist with mowing and brick work around their property, though there were some delays due to Isaac’s orthodontist appointment. News of the Week Terry shared news about a New Zealand amusement park being temporarily closed due to human feces being found in a fernery, despite nearby public restrooms. Jill then discussed a traffic stop in Montana involving a banana-shaped vehicle, which was a modified Ford F-150 truck used for promotional purposes, and the driver was released without a ticket after boxes blocking the license plate were removed. Keith shared a story about a woman who survived a shark attack in Australia, requiring arm amputation, while Jill discussed a separate shark encounter off California’s coast where paddleboarders were stalked by a great white shark that was captured on drone footage. Terry then told a story about 7-year-old Skyler Whitaker who broke a Guinness World Record by wearing 50 sweaters simultaneously at a Pennsylvania library, with the sweaters to be donated to a fall sweater drive. Made up Movie Review We resurrect a shortened version of one of our old segments. The group discussed three potential movie titles: “40 Days and 40 Nights,” “Enola Holmes 3,” and “Minions and Monsters.” They identified “40 Days and 40 Nights” as likely being a biblical story involving Noah’s ark or Jesus’s fasting, while “Enola Holmes 3” was determined to be a detective movie sequel featuring a female detective. The third option, “Minions and Monsters,” was confirmed to be an animated sequel to “Despicable Me” from the Illumination studio. Hey, are movie reviews may not match the official description. Just remember that hours are always right, or they should be. Jill's Trivia Game Jill hosted a movie trivia quiz about Back to the Future, asking questions about key plot elements, character names, and dialogue from the film. Both Keith and Terry participated, with Terry scoring one correct answer while Keith got several questions right including the flux capacitor and the “Enchantment Under the Sea” dance name. (I don't know what our AI companion is talking about scoring points, since we never keep track, because they never matter anyway!) Terry's Top 10 List after a few moments of technology trouble with Terry's device, he finally shares his list. They then reviewed a list of awkward female moments that Terry had compiled, including topics like crumbs in cleavage, wrap skirts, and texting mistakes. Anchor Topic This is the part of our show where we talk about blindness related topics. Keith led a discussion about managing apps and organizing content on phones and computers, sharing tips on how to find and organize notes and apps effectively. Terry and Jill discussed their own experiences with app organization and storage, with Keith suggesting strategies for cleaning up unused apps. Email and Final Thoughts Keith shared a story about overheard nuns purchasing beer, with one nun claiming it was for washing hair, leading to a cashier’s quick response about pretzels and curlers. Keith then shared an email from Theresa Madison about showing her Texas cousin Niagara Falls, with the cousin responding that Texas has a plumber who can fix it. Keith shared a humorous voicemail story about a listeners dog named “Sex” and the various embarrassing situations it caused him, including at city hall, during his wedding, on honeymoon, and in a contest. The story concluded with Keith reflecting on how the dog had caused him more trouble than he anticipated and considering getting a different dog with a better name. Keith shares a final voicemail about the strange neighbors a young woman has when she moved to her first apartment. As usual we wrap everything up with our final thoughts. The final word from our AI companion The meeting appeared to be a podcast recording session where Keith, Terry, and Jill shared jokes and funny stories. Keith read a story about strange neighbors, and the group took turns telling knock-knock jokes and other humor. At the end, Keith provided closing remarks about the podcast, encouraging listeners to share it with friends and visit their website at thatssoundsfunny.com, where they can leave comments or call with funny stories or questions about blindness.

Welcome to The Ecommerce Braintrust podcast, brought to you by Julie Spear, Head of Retail Marketplace Services, and Jordan Ripley, Director of Retail Account Management. We recorded this episode on June 29th, 2026, just after the dust had settled on Amazon Prime Day 2026. The initial numbers are starting to normalize, and we have brought together a great panel of internal experts to help us unpack exactly what went down. Joining us to break down the event from all angles, we have: Ross Walker, Director of Retail Media, will walk us through the media side Michael Childers, Retail Account Manager, covering account strategy Meg Scavo, Senior Account Manager, digging into the data from the disruptor and challenger brands we manage Let's jump right into it. "If you don't run any deals, you might be down year over year. With all the filtering and AI tools, people are going straight to deals in search, so you won't get visibility." -Meg Scavo KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, Ross, Michael, and Meg discuss: Prime Day 2026 delivered strong growth. Spend was up ~23% YoY for Acadia clients, ahead of expectations, but performance increasingly came down to execution-promotion depth, media strategy, and catalog focus-not just participation. The sales curve flattened across all four days. Days 2 and 3 saw the strongest growth, and the classic "Day 1 spike + Day 4 finale" pattern weakened. Consumers are pacing purchases more deliberately, while Amazon's merchandising is actively shaping that flow. Participation is effectively mandatory now. Roughly 9 in 10 brands ran promotions. Opting out no longer just forfeits upside-it can actively hurt visibility, as the traditional halo effect continues to fade. Promotions have converged into a more disciplined playbook. Prime Exclusive Discounts dominate, with brands shifting from broad discounting to tiered strategies-heavier discounts on hero ASINs (30–40%), lighter elsewhere (15–20%)-balancing rank defense with margin control. Incrementality looks weaker, but it's largely a baseline shift. June timing created a "higher floor," making lift look smaller than prior years. Absolute growth is still strong, but comparisons to past Prime Days are less apples-to-apples. AI is becoming the infrastructure layer of shopping. Discovery, PDP content, reviews, and Q&A now directly influence how products are surfaced and summarized, meaning content quality and structure are now performance levers, not just hygiene. Media is still essential, but less about scale and more about precision. Ad spend rose ~24%, but conversion declined through the event as shoppers shifted into comparison mode. Sponsored prompts drove big engagement, but performance varied sharply by funnel depth-strong in lower-funnel use cases, weak in top-funnel browsing. Bottom line: Prime Day is shifting from a discount-driven event to a visibility-and-optimization exercise-where winners are defined less by how much they discount and more by how well they manage structure, media efficiency, and AI-era discoverability.

We start with our three things, including some devastating news — three wildland firefighters were killed battling fires on the Utah-Colorado border. We break down what happened, where the fires stand, and what it means heading into the Fourth of July. Speaking of the Fourth, Utah's fireworks fight is getting messy. Gov. Cox has restricted fireworks statewide through July 5, but cities are all over the map — Clinton is allowing them, Fruit Heights banned them, and Kaysville is still figuring it out. Tell us what YOUR city is doing. Plus, Pineview Reservoir is getting drained so Ogden can replace a leaky, decades-old pipeline — most of the water will be out by September 15. Also on the show: Amazon Prime Day hit $26.4 billion in spending, a new SLC school turf field has neighbors calling it a stinky heat island, foreign visitors are baffled by America's AC obsession, campground toilets that can actually kill you, UK boys stuck reading at a primary school level, the great pajama travel debate, plus more of our America 250 list.

The targeting is clever. The results do not exist yet.Amazon moved Prime Day to June for the first time since 2021. The stated reason is a crowded July. The real reason is a holiday Amazon never has to share.

JD Vance said that if Watergate happened today, it would barely be a 12-hour news story — and Brian From's response isn't relief, it's concern, because he thinks Vance is probably right, and that says something troubling about how far the character bar has fallen in American politics. Brian takes a surprising position on a hot debate: Texas is poised to require millions of public school students to study Bible stories, and as an evangelical pastor, he argues this is a bad idea — public schools shouldn't be infusing curriculum with any religion's teachings, his own included. Gambling disorder diagnoses have spiked over 60% in states that legalized sports betting since 2018, a sobering data point on the real cost of expanded access. Asbury Theological Seminary was removed from the United Methodist Church's approved ordination list over its traditional stance on marriage, a sign of widening fractures between evangelical and mainline institutions. A viral TikTok from a 21-year-old whose "hobby" is lying in bed for eight hours sparks a conversation about what leisure has become for Gen Z. Amazon Prime Day sales were down 16%, and Brian connects it to a simpler explanation than marketing failures: people just have less money. And two deeply practical spiritual pieces close out the hour — why no one drifts into godliness (spiritual growth requires intentional habits, not passive churchgoing), and the story of John Mark, whose public failure didn't define the rest of his life, and whose later faithfulness made him "useful" again in Paul's own words.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 545 The US government ran a secret global operation to harvest bones and body parts from dead infants without anyone's consent — and it was all to measure nuclear fallout in human tissue. Tonight Nick the Rat breaks down Project Sunshine, the classified AEC program that hired law firms to figure out how to body snatch legally, decided to do it anyway, and never charged a single person. Bill Clinton came close to saying the words. The British press blew the lid off. And nobodys ever been held accountable. Also on tonight's episode: Nick goes to war on X over AI data centers eating millions of gallons of fresh water every day, Amazon Prime Day purchases reviewed with full sewer rat honesty, GTA6 sells you a box with a download code in it and calls it physical media, Quake turns 30, Jane Hanoi reports from the dark, Stillwater calls in, and the Mystery Man delivers a Bigfoot story so unhinged it should be illegal.

Elmo has learned his lesson too for not choosing the Knicks to win because now they are accusing him of not being team USA. Isaiah wants to sue his parents. When his grandmother passed away several years ago, each of the grandchildren got a lump sum of money. It wasn't a ton, $10,000 per grandchild. He got 10k, and his older sister got $10k. Because he was underage at the time, it was handled by his parents. Now that he has $50,000 in college loans, he asked his parents for the money so he could put it towards his bills and a security deposit for an appointment. They've informed him that they had to use the money towards his sister's medical procedure years ago. He says her “medical procedure” was a nose job that wasn't covered by insurance- and they won't/can't pay him back. He thinks the only route is to sue them to show that he's serious, his girlfriend, Kelly, thinks he's being dramatic. Just let it go. Sara has a chance to win $3,200! All he has to do is answer more pop culture questions than Raven in Can't Beat Raven!

Lucky 7 for tickets to Dollywood’s Splash Country A video is going viral of a man yelling at a father who had taken his two young daughters into the women’s bathroom of a gas station. The father explained that he made sure no one was in the bathroom before going in, and that he didn’t want his young girls in a men’s restroom. The other man was so angry that he called the police! Thankfully, the police, store manager, and most of the internet are all on the dad’s side. Nancy is very ashamed of how she treated her 13-year-old son, Ben, over the weekend. He was trying to be goofy, and she got very mad at him and used some harsh words. She realized that she had been tired and hangry when that happened and felt terrible about it. She has apologized to him several times. Amazon Prime Days are back starting tomorrow. Joey shared how to check prices to see if you are actually getting a good deal.

This week on Eat Drink Smoke, Tony and Fingers review the AJ Fernandez New World Puro Especial and Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The New World Puro Especial brings plenty of Nicaraguan character, with notes of coffee, wood, creaminess, dried fruit, and a medium-plus profile that may play bigger than advertised. At around $9 a stick, is it humidor-worthy? The bourbon review features Blade and Bow, a 91-proof straight bourbon with a big nose, fruit cocktail notes, oak, heat, and a very cool backstory tied to the historic Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Is it worth nearly $50 a bottle? Also on the show: Fingers' horrifying breakfast choices, dirty soda health warnings, inflation and gas prices, stolen bourbon, Amazon Prime Day confusion, beef prices, brisket shortages, New World Screwworm concerns, AI-designed vaccines, toxic dating gurus, and why a freezer full of Defiance Beef might be the ultimate dating profile upgrade. All that and much more on this episode of Eat Drink Smoke. Find everything over at [EatDrinkSmokeShow.com](EatDrinkSmokeShow.com).
