Today on the show Colin, Producer Dave, and Outdoor Industry Insider Eoin Comerford have some innovative suggestions for the outdoor industry.Innovation in the outdoors is a misunderstood word. It's often only applied to the performance of the apparel, gear, and footwear that the industry produces. And while there will surely be advances that will improve the stuff we make the opportunity for the industry to innovate lies more within our approach to making and marketing that stuff.On this episode we take a look at what can be learned from (gasp!) fast fashion as well as the opportunities that lie within experiential marketing. We of course wrap things up with The Parting Shot by lobbing a rock at the latest news to come out of Authentic Brands.Check out hundreds of wildly cool products by visiting and shopping at Garage Grown Gear!Thanks for listening!

En nuestro Radar aparece la bancarrota en Estados Unidos de Forever 21: la cadena de tiendas anticipa su final en Estados Unidos, no haciendo justicia a su nombre y se declara en quiebra por segunda vez en los últimos seis años. La compañía parece que pierde la batalla con otros operadores de moda rápida como Shein, Temu o Uniqlo. El cierre de tiendas solo afectará al país norteamericano, como indica F21 OpCo, la compañía que opera sus tiendas. Aunque sea cierto esto, la verdad es que si echamos un vistazo a la distribución a los puntos de venta, si es para preocuparse por la viabilidad de la compañía: en Estados Unidos operan con 450 tiendas mientras que fuera de América hay sólo 69. La cadena tendrá que poner el punto de mira y una especial atención a Canadá y a México, donde poseen más de 200 locales. ¿Qué viabilidad tiene la empresa sin sus tiendas en Estados Unidos? Esta recuperación no ha llegado a tiempo y Forever 21 presentó pérdidas de 2024 de 150 millones de dólares. El panorama para 2025 no pintaba mucho mejor: según los documentos entregados ante un tribunal de cuentas en Delaware, las pérdidas para este año podrían ser de 180 millones. Así la deuda total de Forever 21 alcanza los 1580 millones de dólares y en los últimos tres años ha perdido más de 400. Números que obligan ahora a F21 OpCo a la liquidación de su negocio y de las existencias de sus tiendas. ¿Cuáles han sido los motivos principales de esta bancarrota? Si los tres últimos años se presentan como una losa demasiado pesada para Forever 21, 2021 supuso un rayo de luz tenue al que agarrarse. Dos años después de la bancarrota y ser posteriormente comprada por la marca Authentic Brands, la compañía registró ingresos de más de 2.000 millones de dólares. La alegría dura poco en la casa del pobre o eso dicen y la empresa encadenó dos años consecutivos de malos resultados. Shein adquirió una pequeña participación pero la incorporación del gigante minorista no pudo arreglar nada. Ahora F21 OpCo abre todas las posibilidades de una difícil viabilidad. Forever 21 fue fundada por los inmigrantes surcoreanos Do Won Chang y Jin Sook Chang en el año 1984. La tienda era popular sobre todo entre los jóvenes que buscaban prendas estilosas pero asequibles pero la llegada de operadores en línea como Shein o Temu ha precipitado su final.

Want to grow your network? You're in the right place: Watch brand consultant Elie Jacobs and former investigative journalist turned hedge fund analyst Eric Markowitz as they meet for the first time ever! Only on "Just Press Record" - hosted by Matt Zeigler, right here on the Cultish Creative YouTube channel. Their discussion explores the critical distinctions between brand and reputation, the nature of risk in business and life, and the enduring value of authentic relationships in an increasingly digital world.Topics Covered:Brand vs. Reputation: The crucial difference between what companies say about themselves and what others perceive, with Elie introducing his concept of "risk aperture" to describe the dangerous gap between these narratives.Crisis Communication: How professional communicators like Elie work to align brand promises with actual delivery, using "red teaming" to identify vulnerabilities before they become public relations disasters.Business Longevity: Eric's research into companies that have survived for centuries reveals patterns of deep community connection, craftsmanship, and prioritizing relationships over rapid scaling.Technology's Impact on Human Interaction: Both guests explore how smartphones, AI, and automation are fundamentally reshaping human relationships, with potential consequences for how we develop connections and trust.The Value of Serendipity: Discussion about how unplanned encounters and meandering exploration lead to breakthrough ideas that structured, AI-assisted thinking might miss.Risk Assessment: Comparing Elie's crisis management approach to risk with Eric's investor perspective on conviction and decision-making under uncertainty.The Theranos Case Study: Analysis of how Elizabeth Holmes might have saved her company by being truthful about technological limitations rather than exaggerating capabilities.In-Person vs. Digital Connections: The irreplaceable value of face-to-face meetings in building trust, generating ideas, and creating resilient business relationships.Generational Divides: How different age groups approach technology, with concern about younger generations lacking foundational skills as AI increasingly handles cognitive tasks.Community Embeddedness: Examples of how businesses that maintain strong local ties receive support during crises, creating mutual benefit systems that transcend purely transactional relationships.This thought-provoking conversation reveals why understanding the stories we tell—and the stories we're told—is crucial for navigating risk, building trust, and creating lasting value in business and life.

Today on The Rock Fight Colin is joined by Rock Fight Consigliere Eoin Comerford and Producer Dave to discuss several news stories that paint a picture about the long term health of the outdoor industry. First they look at the recent earnings report by Newell (parent company of Marmot, Coleman, and Ex Officio, among others) which shows how the outdoor industry may be on the same path that was recently traveled by the surf industry. Eoin recaps how many iconic surf brands ended up being owned by Authentic Brands and how that past may serve as a cautionary tale for outdoor brands facing similar challenges. (02:55)Next they talk about a recent report that Dick's Sporting Goods is quietly leaving outdoor behind as it closes most of their remaining Public Land and Moosejaw locations. They talk about how this move will impact the outdoor retail landscape. (18:29)Then they dig into event news including the report that Europe's biggest summer show, OutDoor, is going on "hiatus" as well as the announcement of Outdoor Retailer's Industry Day. (29:15)Lastly it's a combined Parting Shot as the hosts weigh in on the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable's endorsement of Trump Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum, as well as the organizations who co-signed that endorsement including the OIA, People For Bikes, and REI. They look at what missteps may have been made and what the focus should be going forward.

Welcome to episode #905 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast - Episode #905. A seasoned marketing consultant, keynote speaker and blogger, Mark Schaefer brings decades of experience to a discipline often clouded by buzzwords. Mark is all about cutting through the complexity of digital noise to foster real connections for the brand and their customers. His latest book, Belonging To The Brand, explores the concept of community as a cornerstone of customer loyalty. In it, Mark details pragmatic approaches for brands to earn trust and advocacy, suggesting that the key lies in creating a sense of belonging among consumers.

Last month, I wrote about how authentic brands that last and endure build a loyal community. This month, I'm tackling a logical, highly relevant follow-up question. Given the polarization that's put everyone in our country under increasing pressure to take sides, can authentic brands be canceled? It's possible… and with an ever-increasing list of notable examples, brands facing backlash and cancellation are becoming less and less of an anomaly. While there are many ways to embroil your brand in some kind of viral, meme-worthy controversy, (if that were my topic, that might be a fun article…) the question I'm asking is: how do authentic brands serve their customers and continue to resonate, even amid a highly politicized culture war?  Furthermore, aside from walking the tightrope of not offending—or to be realistic, of offending some people in a way that doesn't do lasting damage—how do brand and company owners know when it's time to speak up or stay quiet?   When it comes to politics, conventional business wisdom says always stay out of it. While I see the level-headedness and caution inherent in that approach, it's actually not a one-size-fits-all for every brand. So, is there a right time to take a stand? If there is, and if they must wear one jersey or another, how do authentic brands do it without getting canceled, forgotten, and booed out of existence by everyone in the stands? It's a thorny question but, by all accounts, a good one. Like many thorny branding questions, the answer takes us down to motives, intentions, and the extent to which a brand or company, its team, and even its customers understand identity.  https://youtu.be/S5i79bVKKLI To Thine Own Self, Be True Believe it or not, the first and foremost defense against getting canceled is a good offense.  Brand companies that, for any number of reasons, step away from the consistent, authentic identity that they've built to score political or social points pay the biggest price…and usually see the biggest backlash.  The rule of thumb here can be expressed in a simple question—does taking a political stance (or refusing to take one when it's all the rage and the pressure's on) make sense given who you really are? Given your brand's authentic identity? Is it a clear and logical extension of your values, who you are and who your customers know you are, and the overarching purpose behind everything you do? If not, and if stepping out into a dicey conversation has no connection to what you do and who you are, should you expect that new, controversial website banner or political hashtag to come across as genuine? Probably not…and chances are, it won't. What if commenting on something does align with your brand? On the other hand, if your band has had a clear ideological strain from the beginning (brands like Ben and Jerry's, Chick Fil-A, and Rolling Stone magazine come to mind) and if your values, message, and actions have reflected those political leanings for a long time, taking a stand might be consistent with your values. Chances are, the customers you resonate with will recognize that and the outrage that leads to calls for cancellation will be minimal. In short, and to the extent that any first line of defense is probably a good thing, a brand that knows itself, and navigates political winds in a way that's consistent with its purpose and core values, is more likely to keep an even keel. Even, as you sometimes hear when war breaks out, the game goes to overtime, or a jury goes to deliberate, when all bets are off.  In the Crossfire As we increasingly see political stands and calls for cancellation on both ends of politics in America and even the world, more and more brands are getting caught in the crossfire.   Running with my first premise—that a brand which is authentic, which has done the hard work of finding its frequency, knowing its purpose, its values and who it is has a built-in defense against ...

Risk might be the most used word in finance. We hear it all the time, but many have no idea how to define or quantify it. The reality is that “risk” is an umbrella term with different types of risk folded underneath it. Though many will define risk in terms of tolerance, looking at it this way can stifle your long-term growth opportunities. Instead, it can be better to view risk as the permanent loss of money.How should you view risk in the framework of this definition?In this episode, Erik and Justin define risk, and more importantly discuss how you should view it within the context of your life priorities. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS1:04 News you should know: China purchases a 1% stake in TikTok's parent company, and TikTok was the most downloaded app last year. Adidas sells Reebok to Authentic Brands, which owns Sports Illustrated and the licensing rights to Shaq's name, image, and likeness.3:03 Amazon continues to disrupt the market by opening good old fashioned department stores.4:26 True risk is the permanent loss of money that you can't use in the future to achieve your life priorities. This definition is different from how risk is traditionally defined by advisors.5:06 Most of the financial world will define risk in terms of tolerance; can you sleep at night when markets go down? This measure of risk can stifle performance by keeping people from investing in assets that have higher growth over the long-term.6:29 Risk and return are related. If I expect to earn more, I should also expect to take on more risk.8:43 Risk also encompasses regulatory decisions. Governments can make decisions that permanently affect industries; cryptocurrency being a great example.10:38 If you're taking a concentrated risk in an individual stock or cryptocurrency, you better get compensated for it. Does my return justify my risk? 13:00 You can cherry-pick examples of individual stocks that have performed very well over the past decade, but what are the true odds of you finding the needle in the haystack? What's the cost of picking the wrong one?16:39 Your life priorities should inform your investment allocation. Essential needs should be invested conservatively, while long-term priorities can be invested more aggressively.19:45 Liquidity risk is a measure of how easily you can have access to your money. You should demand a premium or higher return on investments that are less liquid. Investments that are less liquid pose an additional risk, which you should be compensated for.22:14 Risk is unpredictable, we know events like 2008 can happen, but we certainly don't know when they will happen. Having a protective reserve that includes your spending needs is essential. This is how you prepare for risk. 22:42 Sitting on the sidelines and not participating in the stock market is also a risk. You risk not capturing returns that will outpace inflation.

From the Simplr studios in San Francisco, this is your daily briefing.  IntroductionThis is Today in Five, for today, Monday, February 3rd. Here are today’s headlines in digital disruption.Is Kim Kardashian’s move into wholesale with Nordstrom a sign of the changing DTC times? In this episode, we explore how Kim, who has an impressive social media following and online presence, still needed Nordstrom to expand and grow her SKIMS brand.First, here are the latest headlines.Forever 21 Receives BidMonths after filing for bankruptcy, Forever 21 has a new bid from Authentic Brands and mall operators Simon Property and Brookfield. The $81 million dollar bid would serve as a baseline for an auction for Forever 21 and includes a breakup fee of $4.7 million dollars and expense reimbursement of $1 million dollars if the retailer accepts an alternate deal. The retailer proposed to the court a bid deadline of February 7th and an auction, if necessary, by February 10th.  Macy's Opening a New Concept StoreAccording to a press release, Macy’s will open what it calls a flexible retail store format in Southlake, Texas. The 20,000-foot store will be called Market by Macy’s. The new store’s space will host, “community-driven programming from cooking tutorials and book signings to crafting and fitness classes.” The new location will also debut two new exclusive Macy’s brands. The move indicates the retailer is taking new steps to develop store concepts, and to learn from the process, as it considers doing business on a much smaller scale.  Facebook Reports Increased Growth and RevenueFacebook reported a growing userbase and increasing quarterly revenue, capping a year of strength in its core advertising business even as expenses climbed. The social media giant’s revenue rose 25 percent to $21.1 billion dollars for the quarter, beating analyst expectations. Revenue for 2019 rose by nearly 27 percent. Profit for the fourth quarter also topped expectations, rising 7 percent to $7.35 billion dollars. The latest report extends a strong performance typical for the company even in the midst of social questions and government scrutiny.  Kim Kardashian’s Expansion Into Nordstrom Is A Sign Of The Changing DTC Times  Is Kim Kardashian’s move into Nordstrom a sign of the digitally-native times? When Kim launched SKIMS, her shapewear brand featuring a variety of diversified products in a broad range of sizes, early products sold out. Kim continued to promote the brand using her immense social presence, and the products continued to sell out as the brand restocked. SKIMS had the potential to be the defining brand for Kim, having more promise than her previous brands KKW Beauty and Fragrance, which were more opportunistic than unique.Earlier this year, Kim announced that the SKIMS brand would be expanding into 25 Nordstrom stores across America starting in early February, and would also be available online at Nordstrom.com. The move raises the question that if Kim Kardashian, who has a large social presence and earned media followings need Nordstrom, what about all the other digitally-native brands?  This isn’t the first time she or one of her family members has expanded into wholesale after hitting the online-only growth ceiling. Her sister Kylie was the first to move into Ulta after three years with Kylie Cosmetics, and Kim soon followed suit with KKW Beauty. Then after Kylie launched Kylie Skin, she moved into Ulta only five months after the brand’s debut. Now, five months after launching SKIMS, Kim is entering Nordstrom.The reasons she’d make the move toward wholesale are simple. An apparel brand that offers such a broad range of sizing means that customers are going to return a lot of items as they try to find their fit. Kim’s social media followers are also potentially saturated by the marketing of Kardashian products, while the Nordstrom audience is likely wealthier and older than most of Kim’s following. Not to mention that digitally-native brands can only get so big before they have to expand into other channels to avoid high digital marketing spend.  If Kim Kardashian needs Nordstrom to grow her business, there’s a good chance that every consumer brand could benefit from the strategy.  ClosingWant to stand out?

From the Simplr studios in San Francisco, this is your daily briefing.  IntroductionWith your E-Commerce Retail Briefing for today, Monday, October 21st, I'm Vincent Phamvan.The future of Barneys still remains unclear, but a bid from Authentic Brands Group could see the luxury retailer end up in Saks Fifth Avenue stores. The plan would entail licensing the brand to Saks Fifth Avenue. Saks would install Barneys departments in some of its stores, as well as run its website.  First, here are some retail headlines.Venmo Partnering with Synchrony to Launch Credit Card  Mobile payment service, Venmo, is partnering with Synchrony Financial to launch a credit card in 2020. Venmo’s parent company, Paypal, announced the new partnership in a press release. The deal deepens PayPayl’s 15-year relationship with Synchrony and allows the bank to diversify outside the retail space. Synchrony has also co-branded credit cards with Amazon, Lowe’s, Banana Republic, and JCPenney.b8ta Announces New Conceptb8ta announced a new concept called Forum that pushes its focus beyond electronics and devices and into fashion and lifestyle. Its first Forum location opens November 15th on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles according to a company press release. The company, which calls itself a retail as a service platform, is letting each brand partner design its own space and curate its brand experience, including product launches, community, and VIP events. b8ta leverages store design and data to showcase goods, many from little-known makers, in its own stores and in other retailers' spaces, notably at Macy’s which invested in the company last year. b8ta said it chose its Forum partners based on their focus on ethical and sustainable production, including Just Human, Tact & Stone, Poplinen, and PROCLAIM.Five Below Led Series A Funding Round for Nerd Street GamersFive Below led a Series A funding round for esports infrastructure company, Nerd Street Gamers. Five Below, along with Comcast, SeventySix Capital, Elevate Capital, and George Miller, invested $12 million in the company. As part of the deal, Five Below and Nerd Street Gamers will build 3,000 square foot Localhost spaces connected to Five Below stores and will host live, in-person events with professional-level equipment. For Five Below, the move appears to be about attracting more younger customers. The retailer’s funding of Nerd Street Gamers isn’t the only investment the company has made recently. Earlier this year, Five Below worked with BRP on revamping its in-store tech capabilities. The retailer is performing well and in the second quarter, CEO and President, Joel Anderson, said the company could open as many as 150 new stores this year.Authentic Brands Group Bids On BarneysAuthentic Brands Group, the licensing company that owns Aeropostale and Juicy Couture, has put in a $271 million bid to buy Barneys out of bankruptcy, according to court filings. The plan would entail licensing the brand to Saks Fifth Avenue. Saks would install Barneys departments in some of its stores, as well as run its website.  In bankruptcy, Barneys has whittled down its size from more than ten namesake stores to five. While experts have said Barneys’ brand in the luxury space remains strong, the future of its remaining stores has been in question. Authentic Brands would still try to renegotiate the leases for some of its best properties as part of the deal, including staying in Madison Avenue but downsize its presence. Barneys filed for Chapter 11 protection in August and a bankruptcy auction is scheduled for later this month.  Putting Barneys inside Saks would echo a move it and other department stores, including Macy’s, have taken to add variety to their shopping experiences. Saks experiments with its stores in recent years include creating wellness centers. The brand is one of the brighter spots within parent Hudson’s Bay Company’s portfolio.  ClosingWant to stand out?

News Items Lexington, Kentucky-based Lexmark International, a manufacturer of laser printers and enterprise software serving a variety of industries, including retailers and sign manufacturers, announces that its acquisition by a consortium of investors. The investors were led by China-based Apex Technology Co. Ltd., which designs, manufactures, and markets inkjet and laserjet cartridge chips for remanufacturers and distributors; and PAG Asia Capital, an investment management firm. Legend Capital, which is also based in China, is part of the consortium also. The transaction was approved by Lexmark shareholders and had to receive regulatory approval from the U.S., China and certain other foreign jurisdictions. Lexmark's headquarters will continue to be in Lexington. Amazon is among the suitors for bankrupt retailer American Apparel, Reuters reports, a deal that would represent "a major push for the e-commerce company into branded fashion and apparel" after it "quietly" launched at least seven private label fashion brands last year. Any bankruptcy court bid would have to exceed $66 million, and other companies Reuters says are in the hunt include Forever 21, Next Level Apparel and Authentic Brands.  Shout out to David of Tee-rific Graphics - www.ourcustomtshirts.com 10 Things We Would Like to See in the Industry 1) Aaron: I think I'll jump right in with a pretty forward though and just get us started. I think as an industry we are getting better at cooperating a little bit, but there are still too many “old school” mind sets out there that feel like they have this great info they need to keep under wraps because if they let it out someone will steal it. Well the real fear is that if they let it out someone will do it better. Well guess what the information is out there. There is very little new other than the way we do things, the way we treat our customers and our stakeholders. 2) Terry: I'm doing a DAX Seminar called Sportswear Garage, where I talk about starting either a screen printing or direct-to-garment business from your home. I think it would be great if a company offered a professional startup kit. In the past, most of these “be a garment decorator in a box” offers consisted of higher than normal pricing and lower than normal quality of equipment and supplies. I'd like to see a true professional package including garment and supply sources and “here's how you do it right” instruction as well. 3) Aaron: In looking at last year's notes and listening to the show, I was shocked that I didn't talk about 3D sublimation. I'm hopeful this is the year. I think it was close last year, but some, unfortunately, missteps and a few political things might have slowed it down a year or 2. Right now I see technotape as the leading candidate w...
