Preston Lane's products boasts all natural ingredients, and beautiful packaging at affordable prices. Its entire line of hand soap, dish soap, countertop sprays and candles grace every home both with beautiful design and gorgeous scents that are safe for you and your family.

What can you do when Amazon kicks you out of the vendor program? Hundreds of brands probably received notice of termination from Amazon a few weeks ago and are now faced with the question of how they can reorganize their business by the beginning of November. Vendor expert Martin Heubel has some helpful tips up his sleeve. The independent consultant from Consulterce used to work for Amazon and is familiar with challenges like this. In the podcast, he explains why Amazon is making this cut right now and why it was already indicated two years ago, how brands can recognize whether they are also at risk of being kicked out, what needs to be considered when switching to Seller Central and what happens to stocked goods and when it makes sense to stay in Vendor Central with the help of a service provider. He also discusses with Ingrid and Valerie why this does not mean the end of the vendor program and why Amazon's focus will shift away from profitability and back to sales growth by fall 2025 at the latest.

When David's Bridal, a New York City staple, filed for bankruptcy in 2018, Joan Hilson was at the helm as CFO. The experience was a crucible, teaching her invaluable lessons about crisis management and strategic pivoting. "Navigating the bankruptcy of David's Bridal forced me to re-evaluate our strategies and become more resilient," Hilson recalls.

Along the way, she has helped the company to navigate the pandemic and championed significant investments in digital capabilities, ensuring that the company remains competitive in an increasingly online world.

Description: In this episode, Chris Stephens, Field CTO at Appen, dives into how CDO's are navigating the world of generative AI. From setting clear expectations to driving adoption within organizations, Chris and Cindi explore the challenges and opportunities in this evolving landscape. Chris shares Appen's innovative approach to integrating humans into deep learning processes and discusses the potential of synthetic data. Plus, he shares how crucial human expertise is, in shaping ethical AI practices and touches on the impact of legislation and industry trends on AI's future.Key Moments: The Impact of generative AI on CDOs  [06:19]Appen and the excitement of generative AI [10:34]The potential of synthetic data and content curation [12:13]The importance of CDOs embracing generative AI [17:40]The early stage of generative AI and funding innovation [26:39]The importance of human in the loop [34:09]The role of legislation and industry leadership [38:46]Key Quotes: As a CDO, I think you absolutely have to figure out how to grab onto that, take ownership of it, and provide the leadership that your company needs - if you don't, then of course someone else will.  All of the challenges come on the non-technical side. Being successful in these programs is about more humanistic type skills than it is being a wizard in the technology space, in my opinion.The work that Appen does is working in support of all of these global organizations and the key is getting humans involved in these loops. Mentions: Deep learningDeep fake Synthetic data Gartner Generative AI Bio: Chris has been leading large-scale data transformations for over a decade, bringing advanced analytics capabilities to the world for 25 years.  Most recently, he served in CDO roles at GEICO, Zendesk, and American Eagle Outfitters.  Prior to that he helped lead the Data Science practice at Pivotal Software helping organizations around the world adopt modern data and software practices.  He is Field CTO and Head of AI Solutions at Appen bringing AI systems to life for organizations around the world.  He is an advisor to Insight Partners and Battery Ventures helping shape a new generation of technology and teams.  He is Adjunct Faculty at Carnegie Mellon University teaching our next generation of data and AI leaders.   He is passionate about the human side of data, transformation, and innovation.  He hails from Pittsburgh with his wife and 5 young adult children.  An avid music fan, he reminds us that, "you who choose to lead must follow."Hear more from Cindi Howson here.

This week we explore some of the content from Steve's forthcoming book Leaders Leap: Transforming Your Company at the Speed of Disruption, which is now available for pre-order at book retailers worldwide. In particular, we go deep on a strategy of being "Special, Not Big" by significantly narrowing the aim of the customers you serve to be more intensely relevant and more highly differentiated. Finding your passionate core is about discovering those customers that sit at the heart of your customer bulls-eye and editing what you do to amplify your impact. In a world where it's harder and harder to become the compelling signal amid all the noise, trying to serve a mass audience is akin to losing a race to the bottom. Find your people, creating meaningful connections, and give them something to talk about.But we kick things off with an overview of our upcoming busy Shoptalk schedule, including recording several episodes in our Bambuser sponsored remote podcast studio/beach cabana. Then it's on to the week in retail news, which features a return to the Wobbly Unicorn Corner to see what's new with Matches Fashion, Stitch Fix, and TheRealReal. We also share our take on strong quarters from Abercrombie & Fitch and American Eagle Outfitters two ANVB's (Analog Native Vertical Brands), while lamenting big whiffs from Victoria's Secret and Foot Locker. We conclude by trying to make sense of Wall Street's ebullient response to Target's latest earnings.Join the Leaders Leap LinkedIn Group here.Become part of the Leaders Leap "Street Team" by sending an email to leeadersleap@sageberryconsulting.com with "Count Me In!" in the subject line.

In the podcast interview, Rick and Joe discussed DTC logistics innovation and some of the recent moves by industry leaders in the retail and logistics verticals. DTC is an acronym for “direct to consumer.” Rick and Joe explored the topics below: The term dark store, dark shop, dark supermarket refers to a retail outlet or distribution center that exists exclusively for online shopping. A dark store is generally a large warehouse that can either be used to facilitate a "click-and-collect" service, where a customer collects an item they have ordered online, or as an order fulfillment platform for online sales. The dark store format was initiated in the United Kingdom and Europe during Covid times. It is not clear whether the trend will gain traction in the USA. American Eagle Outfitters acquired both Quiet Logistics and Airterra demonstrating their commitment to DTC business. Amazon partners with mom-and-pop stores to serve rural areas.

Earnings from Macy's, American Eagle Outfitters, Costco, and Gap are due today, just in time as investors recover from last week's Target and Walmart blows. Stacey Widlitz of SW Retail Advisors joins us to discuss what to expect from these reports and whether the market is bottoming out. Plus, shares of Nvidia are lower, as the company says that sales, which beat first quarter forecasts, are expected to slow this quarter due to COVID shutdowns in China and the War in Ukraine. Matt Bryson of Wedbush Securities joins us to talk all things Nvidia, as well as the broader chip sector. And, the worry hanging over all these stocks: inflation. Minutes from the Fed's meeting earlier this month show interest in raising rates high enough to slow economic growth deliberately to combat high prices. But what does this mean for the markets? Ben Emons of Medley Global Advisors and Degas Writing of Decatur Capital give us their takes.

Today is Wednesday, March 16, and we're looking at Abercrombie & Fitch vs. American Eagle Outfitters.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode Overview: It can be easy to feel discouraged in a world that can be filled with strife, prejudice, and hardship. But our next guest refuses to give in to that and instead uses fashion to spread her message of love because love is a basic human right and is the one common thread that connects us all throughout the globe. Chrissie Lam, CEO and Founder of the Love Is Project, joins me to discuss how her dedication to improving people's lives through sustainable fashion led to the founding of her business and how she uses it as an opportunity to promote and empower female artisans in developing countries and provide support to communities who need them. Join us to learn how Chrissie impacts thousands of lives for the better - one bracelet at a time!   Episode Highlights: How the Love Is Project started The advantages and challenges of being a woman leader Pivoting and learning to see windows of opportunities in failure Carrying her childhood creativity with her to adulthood and to her business How she found meaning in her work and how others can do the same What it means to “have it all” The constant pressure to present yourself a certain way  Chrissie's lifehacks to boost productivity Her advice for women to look up to her   About the Guest: Chrissie Lam is an American entrepreneur and proud founder of the Love Is Project. She started her journey in the fashion industry when she was hired as a trend forecaster for Abercrombie & Fitch and American Eagle Outfitters. After 12 successful years of working with them, she desired to do more and quit corporate life. In 2012, she moved to Kenya where she met a group of women in the Maasai tribe and learned their craft of creating beautiful and vibrant beaded bracelets. Inspired by their work, this led to the creation of the Love Is Project in 2017 which are known for their iconic bracelets emblazoned with the word “LOVE.” The Love Is Project is based on her philosophy that love is the common thread that connects us all and allows us to thrive. She invites everyone to ask: What does love mean to YOU? As more people felt compelled to share their stories and get involved, what was initially a passion project turned into a global movement. The Love Is Project now works with over 2000 women artisans in 10 countries and empowers them through fair wages, healthcare, education, and more. They also make sure to give back to the community by donating proceeds of their profits to movements such as Stop Asian Hate, Black Lives Matter, Green School Bali, and the It Gets Better Project.   Connect with Chrissie: Website: loveisproject.com  Twitter: @L0VEISPROJECT Instagram: @loveisproject Facebook: Love Is Project LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/chrissielam   Did you enjoy today's episode?
