These are gentlemen for a new episode of the electric podcast. I am Fred Lambert, your hosts, and as usual I'm joined by set Winthrop today. Set  [00:00:09] Seth: I'm good. [00:00:10]Fred:  All right, let's jump into this. We have a, quite a few interesting news to discuss this week, and we're going to start with one. [00:00:15] That's gonna, it's gonna affect a lot of people that are planning to buy an electric car in the U S sometime this year or even in the next few years. The The long anticipated reform of the federal tax credit for electric vehicles is, is pretty close to happening. So it was officially submitted to the house of representative in Washington. [00:00:40]And it's called, it's called the green act. And green is an acronym for growing renewable energy and efficiency. Now. Now. Cool. All right. There's, there's a bunch of different things to unpack in there. There's it's a, it, it, it, it affects the ITC for solar. It brings it back to 30% and extends it until 20 26. [00:01:02] But of course, the thing that we were more morals interested in is how does it affect the federal tax credit for electric vehicles? Because that's what needed to be reformed specifically, because, I mean, it was really unfair to a Tesla and in GM, right? Warren now don't watch buyers of this NGM don't have access to it. [00:01:20] And and sorry, I don't, I'm going to share the screen here. Sure. Got to do that thing. Quick sharing screen. Boom, we're on. Yeah. So Tesla and GM hit the threshold for the, the $200,000 to 200,000 deliveries in the U S and after that, they, they still managed to get more tasks rather than 200,000. [00:01:44] Then there's a phase out period that lasts more than a year, really. But now it's over for both automakers and basically the situation now is you have. Automakers that have EVs in the market that they're more competitive. Price-wise. Because their buyers have access to the tax credit. And this learned GM buyers don't even though for the only reason that they were sooner to market with higher volume of EVs. [00:02:09] So it doesn't make any sense. It doesn't encourage automakers to, to produce the vehicles. There are a bunch of different things were suggested over the last few years. If you've been following this, the legislation that was proposed around that some people were pushing for. Let's just remove the cap altogether and. [00:02:26] Put a timeline on it. Instead, for example, like seven $7,500 now, and by 2023, it goes down to six and then by 2025 goes down to five. And so on you phase that out until all electric vehicles or competitive with Fossil fuel powered vehicles. But somehow that didn't go, that it was isn't the solution that has been brought forward this time, especially not with this green accurate, instead of what they're proposing is a new cap of 600,000 deliveries, so significant increase But the 200,000 deliveries that happened before are still accounted for. [00:03:04] So it's really 400,000 new potential deliveries that can apply. And I'm at the new count on those 400,000 Appen when the new law is adopted. So this, this is great. Anything also also the change, the, the, the, the change, the actual amount. It's not 7,500 now. It's it's 7,000 pretty, pretty close. But in, in, in the if you read the actual a document here, they do say that the, the new cap is adopted. [00:03:33] The date of enactment are, so those sole on the date of enactment, the student to determine when the 600 officials is reached between the 200,000 and the 600, the 600,000. So. That's all they're going to account for which it's kind of a problem because normally with tax credit, you would think is just if you took delivery in that tax year. [00:03:56]But not now, we we're going to kind of have to wait for this thing to actually be enacted. And that, that means that could, that could create some problem for Tesla in, in GM. For selling cars in between now and when it's going to be enacted, because I think a lot of the people, including herself were assuming that that thing is going to pass. [00:04:15] I don't know. What, what do you think Seth [00:04:17] Seth: yeah. W you know, with the Democrats in all houses and the presidency, you would think so, although some of those tiebreaker type Democrats, like Joe Manchin of West Virginia, May not be so easy to convince. So it's not a done deal, but it seems like something will, will come out of this. [00:04:37]As for the legislation, it doesn't really make sense. I mean, it doesn't make a ton of sense. Like, you know, I never thought that the first one made a lot of sense. You know, we've been saying for you, a carbon tax is really the best way to do it. Like capitalism takeover. We're not accounting for the pollution that goes into the air. [00:04:57]If we accounted for that, everything would be fine. So, you know, this is just like kind of another like weird hack bandaid kind of thing. I mean, it, it is obviously not fair to Tesla and GM and soon Nissan, I guess that they have to you know, they, they may the early investments in EVs and now [00:05:23] Now th the competitors who kind of can, you know, leverage the battery technology that came out of, you know, Tesla and GM's early investments, you know, at LG or something those they can take advantage of that. And so LG packs in their cars and they, they get a $7,500 taxpayer GMs.  [00:05:41] Fred: That's a good point. [00:05:42] And then see like that, like Companies like a Hyundai or whatever, like , they still benefit from like the partnership with LG and [00:05:54] innovation. But I mean the same principle applies.  [00:05:57] Seth: Right? So, I mean, there's a lot of things that kind of make it unfair. I mean, it should be something across the board. And then of course, like people are going to be upset that like you can buy Teslas plaid model S. And get a $7,000 rebate on $120,000 car. [00:06:13] Like nobody who, who is going to buy $120,000 car. It needs a $7,000 rebate.  [00:06:19] Fred: Yeah, I would have thought that they would have yeah. W w w if you're updating the program, might as well introduce a cap like that, that, that one I have to admit that's a bit, it's a bit tricky. Like, yeah. I like to see those discount on, on cheaper vehicle, like the bowl, like the model three and everything, but if you're going for a plan or as you probably can afford it, you don't need to, you don't need the refund. [00:06:41] Seth: Interesting. So there was a little part in that the bill. The, I got this from the Mike Thompson house.gov site. There's a part of it, section four Oh two on page, end of page four of it for the use bars used cars, right? Yeah. And in that one buyers with up to $30,000 or $60,000 for married couples filed jointly in adjusted gross income can claim the full amount of the credit, the credit. [00:07:04] So that one is based on. Or that bit is based on the income of the people earning it. And that, that is for the, the EVs should not exceed the price of 25,000. So that's going to be probably not many Teslas there. You know, some old  [00:07:24] ones, perhaps.  [00:07:25] Fred: So they, they, they were thinking about it at least. Cause they did it for the, for the use, the car rebates. [00:07:30] So why not do it for the new one? I mean, I do understand, like the idea is just to try to convince someone that is looking for a new car, a, you want to incentivize them to choose an electric one over a gasoline one. So that that's the goal. So that's the goal at. Any, any where on the market? W whether it's luxury or not, but here's the thing in the higher end of the market. [00:07:56] Now, it's not, it's custom, petitive the all electric version. Like, if you're looking for something like the plaid model S, there's nothing like it. Gasoline powered. Like there's nothing that gets the kind of performance that that car gets. So if you, if you're looking for that kind of performance, you got to go with them all. [00:08:13] So being incentivized to get it, it doesn't make it  [00:08:19] Seth: right. So you know, this is probably going to get, you know, changed a bit before it finally gets signed and put into law. You know, hopefully it does. But you know, maybe it's more focused on getting a lower cost cars out there.  [00:08:38] Fred: Oh yeah. I mean also. [00:08:41] Most of the incentive is going to go through those. I mean, it just, you just look at the production volume, then that's ready and that that's where the cars are going. So, so it's not that big of a problem either, but it's, it's certainly gonna be an attack vector for whenever this, this bill is debated and I'm sure they're going to use that. [00:09:01] Seth: Rena. We know the, that the line already, it's going to be like, Oh, we're supporting tax breaks for billionaires that are buying Teslas, you know, like that's we th it's already, it's already been done. Yeah. Yeah,  [00:09:14] Fred: we we've heard it before, but but ultimately it's going to be, it's going to be positive for X everything and the vehicle adoption in the U S there's no doubt about it, especially with bunch of other vehicles coming to market right now that are on the lower hand of the market. [00:09:27] $7,000 difference on a 30, $40,000 car. Makes it be a much bigger difference than on a 60, $70,000 car should that that's going to be a big deal. Whether people are saying that 400,000 like a cap, again, this is not ideal, especially not for Tesla with the kind of volume they're doing right now. Like this is, this could literally just last a year for Tesla potentially. [00:09:48]I'm not, I'm not sure. Sure. If that's the case, especially with. Like it's 400,000 deliveries in the us. And I mean, with the mall, why more, three production capacity right now, Fremont, it could, it could be fairly quick. But I don't know, like a w w we're going to have to see also there's a thing There's a, there's a phase out period. [00:10:07] Again, it's not, it's not as generous or a phase out period. So what they say here is that the prevision replays, the current for his up period with a phrase up here that incident begins during the second quarter after this, the, the, the instead begins during the second calendar quarter after Sasha and Charles. [00:10:25] And so you have basically two quarters. After you hit the 600,000 deliveries or of still having the full, so, so if you have a high production rate at that point, you can still take advantage of that. $7,000 a lot. I mean, desolate and could pronounce she's still like have. 200, $300,000, 300,000 more deliveries in the 600,000. [00:10:50] It could, it could reach to close to a million, really a total. So so it's still, it's still very the vintages. So and with the timing of it too, w what's gonna be interesting is that it's going to open up the tax credit, maybe to cyber truck buyers at this point. Like, Oh yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, depending on when this is enacted and if it is exactly like that, which again, we've said that it's not necessarily the case, but you, you gave it, you gave it like, let's say a year for this, that hit the front hundred thousand. [00:11:18] So that, that puts you somewhere in 2022. And then you still have six months of, of that $7,000 access. So. I mean, I don't think so. That puts you like in second half, maybe of 20, 22. I don't know. I could kind of volume production tests, like an eight on this laboratory at this point, but still, and the higher production capacity. [00:11:38] Do you have for all the vehicle programs that you all going to get at a big boost from  [00:11:42] it? Yeah. Maybe even the Roadster will get it. Yeah. A little discount.  [00:11:47] Okay. Yeah, baby, potentially though, again, that's the one that's going to go well with people with other people. If you get access to that.  [00:11:55] Seth: Yeah, but I think the sh the story in the short term is going to be all right. [00:11:58] So now this is being talked about when we think it's pretty likely to happen, but between now, and when it happens, like, is Tesla going to really, or Tesla and GM and whatever, whoever else are they gonna, are there going to be a lot of people just waiting for that to drop and, you know, our customers Number's going to go way down in the U  [00:12:17] Fred: S I mean, doesn't make much sense to, to, until you have some clarity over, over that happening. [00:12:23] I mean, I wouldn't buy one personally, like right. $7,000. $7,000. Yeah. And for people who say, Oh, you're just like a subsidy leech and you're trying to get us us. I mean, no if, if you understand the meaning of that, of that incentive, that's incentive is there because there's a cost that is not accounted for when you buy a gasoline vehicle that you burned, if that fuel we, we, you, you just started with that said that the carbon tax will, will make us more. [00:12:48] We'll make more sense than that. And we all agree on it, but this is actually our next step. And next article that we're going to discuss is regarding Elon Musk was on Joe Rogan this week, an episode of the Joe Rogan experience. Very interesting talk now lasted about three hours, but we got a few tidbits of information were really interesting in it. [00:13:08] And one of it that color high was that, eh, Elan. Said that he talked with the Biden administration about implementing a carbon tax and they apparently weren't really receptive to it in his word. He said, they see, they said that well to seems to be too politically difficult to, to, to do.  [00:13:29]Seth: I, I get it like nobody wants to see the gas prices go up. [00:13:32] I mean, if you look at France the, the whole strike this year was because they tried to raise the price of gasoline a little bit. I mean, I don't, I don't know if it was just that and it was last year actually, but yeah,  [00:13:45] Fred: but still, I mean, there's way to implement it without affecting the lower income people. [00:13:52] Right. And the country, right.  [00:13:55] Seth: Elan did mention that, you know, those people a rebate also like you know, the. If you, if you said, Hey, look, we're not doing a carbon tax this year, but like a carbon tax in four years is coming, like for sure. So plan for it, like sell, sell your SUV, get a, you know, if you're, you don't have a lot of money and you don't want to spend a lot of gas on gas, like putting one a little bit further out there, maybe a good answer for  [00:14:25] Fred: that. [00:14:26] Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. Like, like Elan's point was, was very reasonable. Like if there is an unpriced externality, like the price, the cost that we have as a, as a society. In immediate CO2 emissions going into the atmosphere and the oceans. There's a customer that is it's clear, it's bolded, zero customer health term of hair pollution, but also long-term costs in term of, or the Zira costs. [00:14:54] Also like you look at Miami much, you're spending in the. I'm trying to solve their water problem and literally going on the water, there's a bunch of other places like that. So there's direct costs like that, but there's also a long-term cost of fishery. If the fishing industry is getting destroyed by how the CO2 is affecting the ocean and everything. [00:15:15] So there's all those direct costs and they need to be accounted for. And if you. But the markets there doesn't see that cost cause the, the, the, the there's no actual price on it. If there's not actual price on it, they don't care. You just have to, if you put a price on it, then they're going to start to do the right thing automatically. [00:15:33] Yeah. But I mean, of course you say that, that people are like, yeah, well, why aren't you just doing the right thing in the first place without the money? I mean, it just doesn't work like that. Like we're not, we're not wired that way, unfortunately. At least not all of us, but. Yeah, it doesn't sound like it's going to be in the cards for the Biden administration. [00:15:52]I don't necessarily blame them. Yeah. I know.  [00:15:54] Seth: It's super popular.  [00:15:56] Fred: Yeah. So  [00:15:57] Seth: like, I mean, the other option is like taxing at the well or taxing at the refinery or something like that. Yeah. I mean, the money is it's still going to cost more to buy gasoline, but it won't be like, you know, the breakdown won't be like, this is the money from  [00:16:11] Fred: the. [00:16:12] Yeah, but you know, all the oil industry is like, they, they will let you know that the reason you're paying more is because they are getting taxed at the other friend, RESO. They, they, they are, they, they don't have a good history in term of propaganda and marketing the ball. It's not proper again, it's actually through, like, it would be, would be through that. [00:16:28] The, the, the government would be the reason why the, the gas prices increases. I mean the, they will frame it in a way that, that looks worse than  [00:16:36] Seth: it actually. Yeah. And also if you tax it at the, well, then the military and government also has to pay more for, for gasoline, whereas they don't typically pay like the taxes that come at the, you know, at the gas station, [00:16:53] So that would be better for getting the military off of oil as  [00:16:57] Fred: well. Yeah. So short of that, short of actually putting a price on carbon, which would be the fairest way to, to, to address the problem. You have to counter balance this, like. On the officials subsidy that the oil industry gets by getting a subsidy to a green technology. [00:17:16] In this case, solar wind with the ITC and, and electric vehicles with with with this, this federal tax credit. And Because to be fair when Elan said tax the make a carbon tax, he said for electricity and gasoline. So actually actually a trustee that is produced with fossil fuels, like, like coal would, would be taxed higher than if you get solar. [00:17:40] If you get electricity from solar source. So if you have an entry vehicle, your cost, if you get it from the grid with a high mix of coal in the coal production, in the of production, from coal in that grid you would get your costs for you that your vehicle go up to. But it would also force those people to find alternative. [00:18:00] Cause that's, that's ultimately, that's the nice thing about that. Cubicle is you get a bite limited, you get more options to fuel it. If you have a gasoline powered car, you have one option gasoline. If you have an SUV vehicle, you can get it from the grid and from the grid. Sometimes you have some options, some I have to utilities will offer you some electricity from a renewable source versus or they give you like rebate and things like that for to counterbalance with, with if you're literally stuck with coal, you can get a rebate for solar and whatnot, or, but you can also get it directly. [00:18:38] If, if you have the opportunity, if you own your home, you can get solar and everything. So, so there is. Like limited somewhere options. And that, that that's the core of it. So if you are in this situation, you could decide all right, now that it cost me more to get majesty from coal, I'll look into solar. [00:18:56] So  [00:18:57] yeah,  [00:18:58] Seth: I mean, if electricity prices go up that makes solar all the better.  [00:19:03] Fred: I mean, most places it's already cheaper anyway. So but when you have a bigger upfront cost people yeah. Would like a return on investment faster, and that would be a faster return on investment for sure. All right. Other interesting thing that Ilan brought up during the, the Dragan interview he talked about the Roadster a little bit. [00:19:21]I mean, we always like to hear about the Roadster. It's been delayed a few times, but earlier this year, Ilan said that That they're completing the engineering this year and they are bringing it to production next year. So we know that the idea of the Roadster is being completed basically right now. [00:19:38]It, it has evolved a little bit since don't billing in 2017. And we know, especially with last month on wheeling of the mall as plan and plan plus that's coming later this year or actually in the podcast, it did say, but Nick said in a year now a year. Yeah. Which would put in an actually in 20, 22, not the end of the year, but I mean, that, that could have been just him giving a broad timeline on the, on the car anyway, even forget the plat. [00:20:02] Plus just the plant itself is, is getting competitive with what this learned nouns with, with the Roadsters. So now they're going to have to have higher capacity with the Roadster and part of that is going to be that space it's packaged and. I mean, everyone's been talking about it for a while. [00:20:19] About the core, I think thrusters on it, giving it either like a boost or acceleration, or even be able to hover at one point he said, and now that the engineering has been completed on the car, you were starting to think that like, all right, this, if this thing's gonna actually make it to production, this basics package is going to have fat and now, and he seems to be very serious about doing it on this show. [00:20:40] He was like, yeah, we're going to throw I'm quoting here. We are going to choose some rocket technology in that car. I want it to, or to hover we got to figure out how to make it hover without giving people that, that would be that would be a nice addition if it doesn't kill people, this is, I mean, it's not necessary, but I like that in my car. [00:21:00] When my car doesn't kill people, I always feel better about it. I  [00:21:03] Seth: want to know if it can go over water though. Like, is it like a hug?  [00:21:06] Fred: You did say that it's not okay, because when you say like hover, you can, are you literally just talking about like lifted up on the ground, just for show for a second or something. [00:21:14] And, but Rogan asked him if it's going to move. He said, yeah, you can move it. You said, you'd go pretty fast, but you're going to be time limited. So it's just going to be like hopping, like for a little while, I  [00:21:24] Seth: guess, you know, what did you think? Like a minute or 30 seconds or I doubt  [00:21:29] Fred: it's going to keep I guess 4,000 pound car up in the air for her. [00:21:34] For a minute. I mean, you talking about a high pressure Hara bottle, the silly late. So lifting up your hair for a whole minute, be able to do  [00:21:44] Seth: it while you're driving. Like, can you just drive? And you're like approaching like a Lake and then you just click the buttons and start floating and then you go over the Lake and then you. [00:21:53] I mean,  [00:21:53] Fred: I think that could be a possible cause you, you, you, you do that. If you have trusters that go towards your ground, you just put all of those trusts and then you stalking about having one in the bag that you just flipped the license plate and it pushed you to the bank. So if you do that, and then you really, some hair on the back, you can, you can move pretty fast, pretty quick. [00:22:12] Right? And like now, because it's not like rolling resistance announces, it's literally like, unless ferric resistance is the air around you. That's that stuff. And you said that. There's a lot easier to go through. So, so yeah, I feel like it's a possible just album. You can stay in the air and I'll know  [00:22:28] Seth: that would be really cool to not have to use bridges, you know, just to cross like a river real quick,  [00:22:34] Fred: but you're gonna, you're gonna have to be very precise on that because like you said through you don't, you don't want to drop too fast cause. [00:22:41] I mean, you said you're going to put a height limit on it. So probably like a mirror to six feet. So that's three through the six feet, which that's still crazy. Yeah, that's crazy. But like you said, it wouldn't kill you, but also you would, it would destroy your suspension if you drop from that. So you're going to have to slow moly land, really? [00:23:00] And  [00:23:01] Seth: they're doing yolks now, right? Instead of steering wheels, you're, you're kind of in three dimensions. So you may like pull it back and  [00:23:11] Fred: exactly, super cool. Actually, I didn't think of that. I mean, I get it, like, let's be honest people. It's insane. It's it's crazy. But it also makes some sense. I mean, the hover is just because if it's there. [00:23:30] Well do it right. But of course the actual idea behind it is yes, there is a lot of value of providing a trust or a cold, their trust or propulsion in the back for acceleration that will, that will kill your, your, your zero to 60 times. Nothing is going to be able to get close to that. I mean, it's going to break next, literally. [00:23:50]If you're not careful. And it also gives you trust on the, on the sides and downward trust to, to keep you on the ground. And there's lot of things for just regular driving that doesn't need to be strong enough to pull you in the air. But again, if, if like, you're, you're like 90% there, if you before the hover, so you just have like to crank it up and that, so, yeah. [00:24:16] And if you're really on Musk, of course, it's. That's an easy decision. You're gonna make parallel  [00:24:20] Seth: parking easy. You could have. So check this out. This is an idea. So if we go six feet up, instead of having a garage, like a, you know, a sideways garage, you could park your car up, you know, over your other car. [00:24:35] You don't have like a platform and just like pull it in there. Instead of, you know, like that the guy who runs a Nvidia has like 17 portraits.  [00:24:44] Fred: Well, I mean, that's, that's the thing though. I mean, well, what would they call that? They're that lifts there. Lifts. Yeah.  [00:24:49] Seth: So you don't need one of those, you just  [00:24:52] Fred: park all still need like a platform or something. [00:24:54] You don't want them to literally limb on the car, right?  [00:24:57] Seth: No, you have a platform, but you land, you know, you have your car and then you have another layer for your, your car. Save some money, parking in the city. You don't have to worry about You know, and just second  [00:25:07] Fred: level. Yeah. Yeah. We gonna have to see it. [00:25:12] Like it's, it's, it's pretty crazy, but it sounds like it's happening and this is working on it right now. This is going to be completed this year. Kenny  [00:25:21] Seth: Gates and fences no longer a problem just right  [00:25:25] Fred: over there. You also reiterated the fact that if you choose a space X package option, the, the air high-pressure hair bottle is going to be in the back where the backseat would go because a Roadster is supposed to have four seats. [00:25:37] Yeah. That's,  [00:25:37] Seth: that's a big,  [00:25:39] Fred: yeah. Four seats. It'd be nice. So I know you're getting through Roadster. And you're not even sure if you're going to keep one, but if you do keep on, do you go for a seat or you go space expanded?  [00:25:51] Seth: I dunno. It's hard to tell like I, I, you know, obviously we're going to learn a lot more about it, so I'm going to defer to when I know everything I can possibly know,  [00:26:01] Fred: let's assume a few things is going to be more expensive than a four-seater option. [00:26:05] So you would have to pay extra. I don't know if you, like, if the gave us like the founder series, I would assume that you did, I'm not going to make us pay anything on it, but I mean, that's an, that's an assumption of mine. Right. But let's assume that, but doesn't mean it's more expensive. But let's assume that, I mean, in term of performance, I thing in the world, it was going to come close to it. [00:26:27] Not even like a million dollar super  [00:26:30] Seth: car. Right. I mean, I don't know, like, I really like. The Roadster that we went in for the initial ride, that was like, as fast as I'd ever want to go at any point, there's like no reason to want to go that fast. Like it's painful. Like it was, it was it wasn't, you know, when you, you know, on the, the D rides, everybody's like chuckling, when they're going really fast, this was different. [00:26:56] It's like, you know, it wasn't like, it was a different kind of.  [00:27:01] Fred: Experience. I mean, you said it during the podcast 2.3 and 1.9. There's a, there's a big difference between the two. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it's actually like a big difference. Right? You'll have to do the GS, like, like, I don't know, like that's a different   [00:27:16] Seth: yeah. [00:27:16] That's the other question? Like, how do you get tires that can keep like the regular, the regular Roadster was spinning all four wheels. You're going to have to have some crazy time. I mean, I guess with, with the With the rocket boosters then. Yeah.  [00:27:30] Fred: But even, even, even with that you just going to go run through your tires super fast, but mean, I already run through my tire super fast with them. [00:27:37] Right. All three performance. And that's with three, three seconds doing 60. So, all right. Next next news item that came out of the podcast bill Gates. I mean, I was kind of surprised by that, but. So w we reported a while back when bill Gates made some comments about battery electric trucks saying that it's never going to happen. [00:28:01] And of course we, we trashed those comments back then, right. It made no sense, but Joe Rogan brought them up during the show and had Ian on addressed it. And of course he learned this at the same thing we did back then. Like, he doesn't know what he's talking about in this case. And And you brought up the fact that they already have prototypes that work. [00:28:21] I, I don't know if that's a perfect answer because it's not just like the energy density in it. Like you can show it that works for sure. But then yeah, I'll chop the shredder, the economics of it worst, but he did have a good point about what you said and that article actually confirming the same that the bash pack or at least the. [00:28:42] Is this, the mind is going to be 501 which is on the lowest side that we were expecting for sure. And you said that if you're having a $500 backpack, it's, it's not a big game changer in terms of the weight of the tractor is of course you have to manage with the economics of upright transport that mine age, the weight of the tracker so that you don't pass the next Memorial. [00:29:04] Right. Of 80,000 pounds on the road with, with your load and with the trailer. So it's all a whole generation of trying to optimize your load pounds per mile is what you going to charge them ultimately. So you want to have the lightest charter possible. They can still pull 80,000 pounds, or you can have a 40, 45,000 pound load or something like that. [00:29:29] And And he always says with, especially with a structural backpack that he on the bill last year, if you have a 512 hour structural backpack that you build with us with some eye on the weight, there's not that much either way , you don't give up that much weight, even though we're used to that you Eagles being a little bit heavier than their gasoline power counterpart. [00:29:51] So, so that was an interesting thing. But then like you to give some kind of reason why Dates with a, sort of a negative on Testa. And he said that according, I also heard that at one point he had a large short position on Tesla. I don't know if that's true or not, but things weird, people like, huh? [00:30:13] Very weird. Yeah. People I know would know the situation pretty well. That's almost Trump past like, Oh, people that I know said I asked them, are you sure? And they said, yes, he has a huge short position on Tesla. And that didn't work out too well. Bill use of the loss kind of all of the money, like a lot of people did on shorting Tesla. [00:30:32] So he didn't give a timeline, but we know that last year that's the one on a crazy run and estimated people, collectively people at short position on Tesla lost $38 billion. Of course, if I actually reached out to the bill Gates foundation to see if they can get a comment on that from from bill. [00:30:51]I don't expect that we, that we're going to get one, but I would like to have a confirming, like is inside of the story you hear, because it doesn't sound like the shorting type, like is more like exactly. You invest very long-term stuff and everything. So it doesn't sound like him. It's not impossible though, because you guys been more critical of Elon and Tesla then than you would think coming from him. [00:31:14]And personally, like, I'm not like I'm not all the shorts or the devils, like like Elan things and like, and like like a lot of more people think that like a lot of people I've been recently introduced to the idea of, of, of short short sellers with the old game stop thing and EMC and the whole wall street bet on Reddit. [00:31:31]I mean, I think there's a place for short sellers, like, because let's be honest, there's some companies that are bad that do bad, that lie. That like that it would make sense to bet against it. Like, I mean, I'm not a big fan of what's his face NYCLA. No, no. The short seller that, that they did against Enron the guy is always on CNBC, trashing, Tesla, Jim something Nope. [00:31:53] Channels, channels. All right. That, that guy, I mean, I give credit where credit credit is due. Like you, you saw the fraud that, that Enron was put a short position against it exposed. It made a bunch of money when it failing and it had to fail. It was defrauding people. So there's nothing bad with that. [00:32:19] Now. Also there's nothing bad thinking that Tesla. Is overvalued. Like there's definitely arguments to be made with that. I'm not on board with it, but I can definitely see our argument. I can not have a rational conversation with someone that says that this is what we value. That makes sense me, but I am not, but shorting it though. [00:32:39] I don't know, because like you have to look what's. W what's the positive icon for that? Like, yeah, you could make some money if there is a correction on Tesla, but at the same time test, as valuation contributes to his mission. And I think the mission is more important than all those things like to be. To, to, to accelerate the advent of renewable energy and energy transport. [00:33:03] And this high valuation certainly as helped us let, because they were able to raise a ton of money from the high valuation. So I don't know. And I'll be conflicted about that, but I'm not, I don't want to demonize the shorts. I don't like, of course the shorts that are lying about desktop, like they're take a short position and then they do a bunch of propaganda about in everything. [00:33:21] That's of course that's horrible. But in general, I don't hate shorts. [00:33:30] All right. All right. And then another big thing that turned on the market this week is we learned earlier this week on Monday that the slow when they released or 10 not thank you. The 10 K finding the sec. They reveal that last month they bought the above a large position in Bitcoin. [00:33:45] The the $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin. The the, the, the said that it was part of a move to diversify with alternative reserve assets. So that included both digital assets, like the I mean, the, the call between digital assets never heard that, but and also gold, they bought gold too. [00:34:08] So, so the Tesla is like at the end of last quarter at close to $20 billion. So do you use the, the use 1.5 to buy Bitcoin? And they didn't disclose the goal though. The amount of gold that they bought, but of course the Bitcoin is what caught a lot of the headlines. Anyway, people didn't care much about their slaves buying gold and it sent it some big coins go on a big run. [00:34:35] What is it today like 48,000 I mean, last month when they bought it.  So they already made the, a lot of money cause $48,000 now, and a month ago it was trading between 38 and $30,000. So the, so they bought somewhere in between those and it's already up $48,000. So there was, that was a good move. [00:34:58] But of course the part of the rallies because of the study itself. So self fulfilling prophecy right there. What do you think about it, sir?  [00:35:09] Seth: The bigger news, I guess maybe was that they're going to start accepting where they're going to try to start accepting Bitcoin as payment for their cars. I think that might be a kind of a hidden gem because I know there's a lot of money out there in Bitcoin,  [00:35:26] Fred: Bitcoin millionaires. [00:35:27] Seth: Yeah. And you know, What's  [00:35:30] Fred: that they might want a Tesla. So there's that?  [00:35:32] Seth: Yeah. I mean, I think we did a story in like 2014 or something where somebody bought a Tesla, used it in Bitcoin, so it's not something new, but and you know that the idea of cashing out and then buying it and then, you know, Tesla's taking, taking on the rest. [00:35:50] I think they said that they would, you know, convert it immediately into cash. But I still think taking Bitcoin payments may open up the market for some, for some new buyers. I mean, particularly some buyers that just made a ton of money that, you know, that the buyers that are just really happy about Tesla getting into Bitcoin and they now have a lot more money and maybe they want to buy  [00:36:13] Fred: a of them. [00:36:15] Literally just. Take the profit from Tesla announcing that the big point, you just shave that off and buy a car with that. Like it's, it's crazy. But I know like some people are not on board with this idea because like, Bitcoin is not really transactional. Like it's, it's, it's more like a asset right now. [00:36:33] It's like gold, like Tesla itself. Just basically compare it to go than this. In this announcement. So you don't, you don't really go to the car dealership in, in with, with a bunch of gold and you're like, give me a car. So this is kind of the same thing. Like, especially if you, if you're going to take the goal, then change it into cash. [00:36:53] But after this is going to be the same principle there. So it doesn't mean that much  on that front, but yeah, I understand from your standpoint, what you're talking about for for Tesla, it makes sense to. Can really create some dumb and from that, but yeah. Yeah. Also some people are not on board with it due to the environmental impact of Bitcoin. [00:37:14] It does as an entity, as the blockchain does require a lot of electricity so that people are seeing that as an issue. I think it recently just surpass Argentina in term of electricity needs. It's crazy. As a, as a whole, it's like. A decent sized country now just to maintain the blockchain, just to pass the transaction on, on the blockchain. [00:37:39] But at the same time, I kind of have to think that, I mean, th th there's electricity in effect, it's, it's coming from the miners. Like the miners are the one that they're paying for the electricity to mind that currency. And they, they get some, some of that crypto in return to pay for that. Electricity use and the computing power that is required to mine it, and the whole idea between mining is to balance that computing costs electricity costs with the rewards from mining. [00:38:12] And so you want to maintain that if we discuss as low as possible and in this day and age, the lower electricity cost you can get is from renewable is from solar is from wind it's from. I do electricity. So I kinda, I would like to see a concrete study on that and see, where did they to steal the Bitcoin is using, is coming from my guess would be that it probably mostly from renewable sources. [00:38:38] My guess I don't have any actual stats from that, but I'm just running through the logic here. And I think, I think it makes sense.  [00:38:46] Seth: Yeah. I mean some people even think that Bitcoin makes Solar or more and more wind, but makes wind more viable because like, you know, for instance, in California, when there's so much solar that you can't do anything with it theoretically you could fire up a bunch of mining rigs on that extra solar power and make some money and that money could, you know, Help the balance sheet and building solar. [00:39:14] So theoretically you're building a wind farm or you're building a solar farm and you're saying, all right, well, when the prices get really low, when we're like, over-saturating the electricity market, we put some of that into Bitcoin mining rigs, and then we can therefore pay off our, our investment. So in that way, it kind of makes some sense. [00:39:34]But you know, overall there are some serious questions to be answered about the energy usage of Bitcoin. Yeah,  [00:39:40] Fred: I get it. I mean, I suggested that to Jason used w w K zero 57, like, well, known the hacker in a Tesla community. Yeah. It's a giant home solar system. I think it's like. The 40 kilowatts is something that makes it, it makes no sense. [00:39:55] I mean, he doesn't use like you use a fraction of a centricity and he also has of course, a very big self-build Tesla battery on system. So I suggested to him, you should, you should use that extra solar that you, that you make to. To, to, to build some kind of mining rig in that I, he was receptive Natty. [00:40:15] I don't know if he ever kind of came through with it. I need to look into it. I mean, he's, he's  [00:40:19] Seth: on the grid though. He can just send his extras energy.  [00:40:22] Fred: I think it was, he, he built it up grid. I'm not, I'm not sure, but I mean, yeah, it was, it's also, I don't know if like net muttering exists in North Carolina again, right. [00:40:33] To penetrate. I don't know, but I mean here, like right now my house is not being heated and I'm in Quebec, in the, in the winter. And 90% of my heating is coming from mining rigs. I have, I have three mining rigs in my house located in different rooms and those things, they, they eat up so much that they, they take up my, my eating. [00:40:53] So they actually replaced my trusty costs from eating to, to mining. And also it's coming from hydro electricity. So. My my house is literally powered mining bit, not the Queensland mining Ethereum right now. How much, how  [00:41:06] Seth: much money have you in dollars  [00:41:08] Fred: in dollars? I mean, I've been doing it for over a year now. [00:41:12] Probably got three. If their arms, it's not three, three, three, either three, either. And right now that I never sold them and they're worth 1800 bucks each right now. So I'm actually probably made money at this point already a year and a year and a half into it. Probably because you can account for the cost of electricity, of course. [00:41:30] And well, actually it's been done by the council that you see, I, I heat with electricity here. So so that, that counterbalance itself basically, and the, the cost of the mining machines to I mean, th the biggest around thousand bucks, I think it's 800 bucks or something. Right. So, so, yeah, I've probably made money at this point. [00:41:46] I one here in this room though, I only, I only shut it down from when I'm doing the podcast, because it's a little bit loud for the podcast, but then as soon as the podcast had done, turn it back on. And so I'm losing money doing the podcast right now. People didn't like, that's how much I love you guys. [00:42:02] Seth: I it is, it is interesting that the other part of that like, well, the excess heat from the resistance, from the, from the video cards and the, you know, the GPS is heating your home. That makes that's an interesting point of the equation.  [00:42:19] Fred: People were discussing too. Like if you link Bitcoin, Tesla, what if like all Tesla vehicles right now, there's a supercomputer that is not being used when it's parked. [00:42:29] So if you're plugged in and you're parked well to come together, obviously or why not? Would you be able to mind some cryptocurrency would that, would that computer of course Even if it's plugged in, you still use some of your battery cars because the anchor see something come to the battery and then the batteries is being charged. [00:42:50] So there is some degradation on that front, but I mean, it's probably, it would be small so that there there's some calculation to be made if it's actually worded, but it could be interesting.  [00:43:00] Seth: Yeah. I would much rather have my car mining Bitcoin than being used as a taxi.  [00:43:06] Fred: Yeah. I mean famously said doesn't want any Ford in scars, but by himself. [00:43:12] And that's my main but yeah, I mean, you could imagine something like, especially if, even if they're not plugged in, they even imagine it feels like the cyber truck, for example, that's the, does this solar cover thing and we're going to get into that too, but Elan discussed it a little bit in term of introducing solar. [00:43:31] Sells on cars. He said that the cyber truck is gonna be the first one with the cover for the bed being solar powered so that that's not going to hide a lot of mileage. Like you said, I think around 10 miles per day for a separate truck, but what it would though, it would also cancel any, any vampire drain for the car. [00:43:51] Yeah. And that's it. As you want to mind the car, then you could, it could be mining. Cryptocurrency with solar, if that was an option on it. So that, that could be interesting. Yeah. Once  [00:44:03] Seth: you fill up your battery, you just, it switches over to mining. Yeah. I mean, that's not going to be, that's not going to turn out a lot of coins, but  [00:44:12] Fred: no, but yeah, I mean the, the, the whole thing about this, this hardware 3.0 computer is that it's, it's, it's efficient too, so right. [00:44:22] All right, moving on. No. Oh, I guess I didn't put this on everything in there, but yeah, he discussed introducing you basically explain what we all know for, for a while. Now he explained to Rogan why solar on Corazon not make that much sense? Because of the under surface area of the solar and the efficiency of solar cell these days. [00:44:46] And if you want to go much higher and you. Go much higher in costs do so balanced. Don't make sense. You're much better off having solar on your home. Yeah. And then charging your car like that. But explain for bigger cars. It could make sense like the cyber trucks bed would make sense. Any also talk about the Tesla van. [00:45:06] I mean, if you remember a few weeks ago, we only confirmed that that's the we'll make event. As soon as it makes sense in term of battery supply. As soon as they have the batteries floated to make those vans. And he said for a van that you would make a lot of sense to have a solar roof on it, because you have a much bigger surface area that is flat. [00:45:22] So you can put solar cells on that. And he also suggested to put the deployable roof on each side where you could extend it. And it was all pretty much talking about camping. Like it can think then you make it like a little tiny motor home, really like it, a little sprinter ones. That, so with extending on each side, yet you provide shade. [00:45:41] You can build like Like a little camping area, all of it. And on those shades, there's also solar cells on it. So now you can have like a triple the roof area in solar power and that could generate decent amount. But again, I want to say decent amount, we're talking probably 30 miles a day. It's not nothing crazy. [00:46:01]However, it's still useful. Like, especially if you, if you do a campaign type of the camper with that, With that van, then let's see you have like 300 miles all over there that you can literally let go 300 miles from your home. You sit at like a camping spot where you, where your car is. You can either plug it in or you can just pull out the solar. [00:46:22] And if you're staying there for a few days, then you can replenish your battery. Or you can also run things out of your van with that or power. So it's a, it's a no brainer in my opinion, it just, it just makes sense. Okay. I don't think this is gonna be the first to do it, but we going to see that happen a lot. [00:46:41] I  [00:46:42] Seth: thought a Yuan was a little bit dismissive of solar powered cars. Like I, you know, I agree like normal cars. You can't really build a normal car and have it covered with solar panels and get any, you know, useful range out of it. But, you know, 20 miles is not nothing like a lot of people You don't have a commute of 20 miles a day. [00:47:02] So. Like theoretically, they would get most of their miles from solar. You know, we'll, you've seen cars like a Lightspeed and that one, the sole sole Scion cyan or, yeah. And then there's that other one? Aptera like the three wheeled one. Yeah. Yeah. That, you know, they claim to be almost entirely powered by solar. [00:47:24] Obviously you can charge them by a traditional means, but because they're so efficient and so aerodynamic, and then, you know, the wheels are very small and there's, it's small inside, but in that case, you're kind of, you're getting a real, like a long distance in the sun then. And those kinds of all, em, Come from those solar races that there's one in Australia where they go from like Darwin to Adelaide. [00:47:50] And there's one in the U S that, you know, they kind of cross and they're, these are kind of like bikes that have like a covering a super aerodynamic solar covering they're very quick crash with those. No, you don't even want to like. Tip over those things, you probably just fall apart, but they're so light. [00:48:09] They're so aerodynamic. And this, the covering of solar is enough to power them along with, with a passenger too. So it can definitely be done. It's just the trade offs are, you know, to have like a normal car that you would expect to have is isn't great.  [00:48:24] Fred: So, yeah. And all those cars is especially that Tara, for example, and the, the, the lights the, the lightning one is one of them a little bit, a bit more bullish on, but the , the whole thing is that, or solar matter on it, because it's so efficient, but at the same time to make the car so efficient, they have to make it like. [00:48:47] I wrote more aerodynamic and making it all there more over the NAMIC it reduced the surface on which you can put solar. So like, it is, there's this weird trade-off here that you have to be careful for. So I'm going to want to see like extensive tests on those cars to, to, to really see like the impact on solar, on them. [00:49:05]Because I have a suspicion that's a little bit gimmicky, like to see that they are solar power, like yeah. I want to see actual use cases, not extreme use cases, someone that has like a 30 mile commute or something like that and see like how much of it is going to be solar and how much you need to charge it, which is fine. [00:49:24] Again, I think a mix of both is perfectly fine, but if your advertise your car has solar power, like we have to be clear about what they really are. Yeah. All right. Toyota. The electric car and a U S what is this? What is happening? Yeah, I mean, Toyota is, is, is announcements sometimes. And now the, like, they kind of announce a few months ago, like, Oh, we're making an electric SUV, like sent out the press release and everything. [00:49:54] We're making electric SUV and more like, cool. Show it to us or something, but all right. Now they're saying we're bringing electric cars all at your cars to the U S the, to your, the North America. And that began the Butte in the U S this year three new electrify models, but don't panic. [00:50:13] They did specify to be these and a PHEV. So two ology vehicle and a plug-in hybrid. Crazy thing though, in the same announcement, which again, extremely little the announcement. That's basically what I just said. Like that's it, those three cars are coming to the U S are going to be the beauty of this year in the U S and the same announcement. [00:50:33] They were like, Hey, by the way, a plug-in hybrid is just as good as like all electric cars. See, as long as you don't use the gas part. Yeah. They released a study showing that all the vehicles produce just as much emissions as plug-in hybrids, which of course you can show those, you can make numbers say anything and you can probably make them say that I didn't look too deep into the study because of course, I mean, w we, we see the value of plugging hybrids, electric, that we understand it, and everything is just that all electric vehicles are obviously the future here and bugging the hybrids where. [00:51:10] Sort of like a compromise for a while, a transitional vehicle and eh, the all three vehicles I've improved so much at this point that it just doesn't make sense to focus on plug-in hybrids right now, if you're, if you're, if you're you right now on the toolmaker working on the plug-in hybrid program, you're kind of wasting your time. [00:51:27] You just put those resources on making better all electric vehicles right now. And you're probably being very, or actually. But the resources and making more batteries, probably like as a, of course the biggest advantage in my view of a plug-in hybrid is not that, Oh, we can go long distance with the gas tanks to full gas state is that you can, if you optimize it right, you can drive a lot of electric mileage without adding a big battery pack in it. [00:51:54] So you can make more of them with the limited battery supply that we have right now, that's, that's nothing in the biggest advantage of plug-in hybrids are ever. Obviously it's a compromise having two powertrains in the car or a generator for your energy powertrain. So, yeah. I don't know what he's teaching. [00:52:12] He felt the need to say that, especially the eye announcing to all electric vehicle in bed, but it's not like they were saying like, Oh, we're making for plug-in hybrid. And then one electric, no, you're making two, all electric vehicle. And the plug-in hybrid, by the way, plug-in average was just as good as the two electric vehicles. [00:52:27] Right.  [00

Before we jump into the episode, in honor of Black History Month, we are announcing a fundraiser + gear giveaway to support The Loveland Foundation. From their website: “The Loveland Foundation was established in 2018 by Rachel Cargle in response to her widely successful birthday wish fundraiser, Therapy for Black Women and Girls. Her enthusiastic social media community raised over $250,000, which made it possible for Black women and girls nationally to receive therapy support. Black women and girls deserve access to healing, and that healing will impact generations. The Loveland Foundation is the official continuation of this effort to bring opportunity and healing to communities of color, and especially to Black women and girls. Through fellowships, residency programs, listening tours, and more, ultimately we hope to contribute to both the empowerment and the liberation of the communities we serve.” During the month of February, we will be fundraising and trying to hit $500 worth of donations. If we hit $500, I will make my own donation of $250. In order to donate, please Venmo me directly @Emilyholland14 (we are doing it this was so that we do not have to pay a fee to use a fundraising site, and ALL of the money can go directly to the Foundation). Any person who donates will be automatically entered to win FREE UST Gear! These winners will be announced on March 2nd. Okay, now onto the show.

Episode 152 of the Jason & Scot show was recorded on Monday November 12th 2018. http://jasonandscot.com Join your hosts Jason "Retailgeek" Goldberg, SVP Commerce & Content at SapientRazorfish, and Scot Wingo, Founder and Executive Chairman of Channel Advisor as they discuss the latest news and trends in the world of e-commerce and digital shopper marketing. Transcript Jason: [0:25] Welcome to the Jason and Scott show this is episode 152 being recorded on Monday November 12th 2018 I'm your host Jason retailgeek Goldberg and as usual I'm here with your co-host Scot Wingo. Scot & Rick: [0:40] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason Scott show listeners Jason all the trade shows going on in travel that you have been plugging in over the last month's we took a little bit of time out and haven't had some guests on the show they don't like it when you're like well we could do 1 a.m. or 3 a.m. I'm so not the good news is continuing here with episode 152 and through the holiday season we have a really strong slate of guess they're coming on the show is a theme they have one thing in common they are bringing to the Jason Scott shows some really awesome data and insights around consumer paper. And kick off that thing we're excited to have on the show Rick any and he is the head of consumer insights at salesforce.com Salesforce in publicist Sapien and full disclosure that's Jason's company and he played a role he would say pivotal I think Rick would say minor so what. You played a role in the project and it was recently completed and has some really comprehensive research and Retail consumer Behavior Jason I Jason's kind of been talking about this a lot Rick and we are really excited to have you on the show welcome. [1:50] I am thrilled to be here I'm a long time listener first-time guest so thanks for carrying the torch on Commerce podcast and let's let's talk about it. Yeah I think any good geographies interesting I am in my home state of North Carolina Jason's in Atlanta and you're in Seattle so I think we got kind of the you know by coasts and covered here Coast to Coast. Jason: [2:14] Exactly it's pouring rain here are you guys going to do some weather. Scot & Rick: [2:18] It's beautiful outside in Seattle today we are rainy here as well. Jason: [2:23] So the West Coast wins this week so you will know we always like to get things started by getting a little background about our guest and how they came into their role so can you you share your your story with. Scot & Rick: [2:38] Yeah so so as you know I'm I'm in a sales Force uniform now but it all started with the boy and a dream about e-commerce back in the early 2000s when the what I said a company called Zildjian so is Elgin mini know as symbols and drumsticks and that's a very entry-level. Participant in the marketing department I figured I'd hitch my wagon to e-commerce. And I found my way into email marketing and then threw some acquisitions. And it has been a time since I'm just really been infatuated with all things Commerce and Performance Marketing since early 2000 so that means. Carly Salesforce in prior to that company called to man where was e-commerce ranks and then GSI Commerce. Which was a another e-commerce provider back in the early 2000. [3:36] Lucy got some GS either I'll have to ask her are you a musician is that why you went to cymbals and drums. Yeah you know I thought early on in life that I was going to go pro in in the Rockstar thing but. Change of plans went pro in e-commerce and look back but. [3:59] Rickles so then see you were at GSI and then demand and then. That's that's the exact one in Gs I came in through an acquisition of a company called the dialogue which folks may remember from the. Earlier days of email on the 2006 well Brickell and then the sales force is obviously a huge company and after acquiring demandware it became part of their what are there many clouds have Like A Thousand Clowns so maybe just for folks that aren't familiar with that 100% maybe give a little high level overview of of that cloud and then tell us about your role. [4:37] Yeah so so Salesforce many know is the number one CRM provider in the world in particular to folks who are listening in now on the e-commerce space you may know Salesforce Commerce Cloud so Salesforce Commerce cloud is B Enterprise leader for all things Commerce providing and so we are my team particular we are part of our retail team so I've got a really fun group but really fun jobs at our aim is to tell that true story of shopping. [5:07] And the other super Advantage build in that we get to look at the actual shop activity of half-a-billion Shoppers globally and that's. Direct-to-consumer Enterprise Brands and retailers in inside all those quicksand all those Taps UC the change in retailing to the pace of that change and really how Shoppers are acting today and it provides really a great canvas to tell a whole lot of cool stories I don't really wear retailer should be putting their Investments and working towards these days cool well we're all here for the data so let's jump in I think the the name of the the program here is chakra first couldn't go shopping first so let's lay a foundation tell us about how did this come about sounds like you want them part of this you have all the stator I'm through the demandware system it's based so obviously you can see all the analytics and things that your your aggregate. Retail and brands are generating their and you said something like half a billion so tell us a bit more about the research and what was the goal. [6:17] Yeah and this is really this is my favorite piece that we've done over the past 10:05 or 6 years of doing this and we had first some some great call authorization mention heike Young from Salesforce and he'll be Anderson from pupusas. Safety and then there were three of us and we also did this three-dimensional data said I talked about that shopping activity we look at a half billion Shoppers a recorder and inside that we see a whole lot of really great things to devices that use the thracian they stand box that they by Cecile a lot about the Shopper activity. When will you want to look into Shopper preferences we added some survey data and then we also had this really fun mystery shopping expedition across 70 stores in the US and London as well. What are the three things together and we created this what we we consider this blueprint of retailing success sends who tells the story of what it takes to succeed in retail given the climate that certainly we all know about of some really interesting macro pressures that are facing the retail Market overall. [7:21] Did you guys to 501 Shoppers is a lot do you guys just close the GMB going to the Wyndham and where was Private or a public separate they did disclose I can't remember the number but you have any idea. Dollar amount of transactions work we're talking about here. Yeah we disclosed last year for 2017 calendar year we had more than 25 billion in gmv across the across the sales work on her class about that is sore retailers for retailing brands are those gray lines exist now they're really looking to see how they compare with other Enterprise Brands to retailers. Direct-to-consumer space nut is the Wheelhouse of All Things Early Salesforce but to the state of set as well. [8:12] And then again I remember so in demand where was Independence the the set of customers kind of skewed have the fashion I would say you're or apparel did you guys do anything in the data to kind of normalize it against kind of a categories drinking like that. Yeah there's some really good depth in a few of those vertical sea mentioned so all things apparel General active luxurious three different flavors of apparel overall there's a really healthy component of Health and Beauty inside of theirs as well so that that spans from high-end Beauty all the way down to something more cosmetics. [8:54] Epgi felonies and then as well as Electronics there's well this really cool view of a really strong Brands and retailers for this year's report this actually the second year that we ran it last year we gets the splits based on those different verticals we do have some other assets where we look at those verticals in particular and and see how they compare with each other but the I think we tried to get out and in this report was how do you tell the story of all the Shoppers and. What's interesting though we see differences that exist between Francis Health and Beauty and apparel we do see is the general shopping at tivity thanks for the foundational items like what device they use when are very similar average order value certainly be different for luxury apparel then more of a fast-fashion set but overall for this predictive group that spans of kind of file, specialty Branson retailers we see a lot of similarities across those. Jason: [10:01] That's awesome Rick I am sort of a geek on the data set I ask you questions all the time and. I'm trying to avoid the temptation to go down a rat hole and get into Super. The new show level stuff but so in addition to that data what you have all the time you did this one time survey and remind me how many consumers were in the survey. Scot & Rick: [10:27] Yes we had half a billion inside of this the particular data set for it's generally we looked at for this one egg quarters worth of data against the year of your peers you before so 2018 you won against 2017 QR codes. Half a billion little bit more than 500 million Shoppers voice. Jason: [10:50] Call n&s on the survey data haven't how many consumers did we talk to. Scot & Rick: [10:55] Yes the survey was 6000 consumers that Global across six Market split evenly US and Canada UK Germany France and A&Z as well 4,000 from each of those those Cheetos. Jason: [11:11] Cool and then we visited some stores and how many store visits do we do. Scot & Rick: [11:16] So Physical stores you visited more than 70 stores it was for in San Francisco New York and London as well. Jason: [11:24] Perfect in so one of the fun things is the story you can tell by by seeing the the sort of. Intersection of those three data sets together and so. Like I know that you came out with these like three big categories of insides as a result of what. [11:44] The things and we named them make it fresh be where I am and give it meaning so I'm hoping we can do a little bit of a dive into each one of those and explain to the listeners what we mean and and what some of the key takeaways were but did you have a favorite of the three buckets. Scot & Rick: [12:03] Absolutely that the first one and we we share this together last week but her on stage together my favorite of the mandates and again we consider this the blueprint he do these three three things really well you're able to can be Pete Wentz the first one though make it freshers is my favorite other couple really interesting things that jump out at me with naked fresh we like to look at what is that product catalog look like how important throughout the year at the very top of the catalog what does that contribute to what we found is that the top 5% of your very best Frost the top 5%. [12:40] Driving 48% of Revenue and a lot of folks talking about the Pareto rule here at the 25%. Is driving 48% of Revenue what's interesting though is when he compounds that. With what's happening with 5% those those top products are changing really rapidly 59% all of the top 5%, are changing. So we're entering the Sarah where you're God or these days of Evergreen products that you have to make it fresh you have to be fast and fresh with your Shoppers and this is really a nod to what happened or rather what fast-fashion did to all of retail that it has Inspire The Shopper to expect to see new whenever they come to a site or stored back when surveyed, they say 69% a shop or so yeah I expect to see something new whenever I get to the site or store in the catalog data saying the exact same thing you need to be fast you need to move quickly and you can't just Sand by the old the old guard of products that may have gotten you somewhere previously. Jason: [13:48] Yeah and that that like it's pretty well with the data like Google typically shares on search right like that. An overwhelming majority of the the search volume is on these head terms but still something like 80% of the searches Google Seas have never been searched before I write like so it you know there's there's this constant churning of what people are thinking about and what they're doing or not when I saw your data on the catalog. [14:19] It was very similar to that white people are coming to these sites with different problems different challenges different occasions and contacts every single time and they expect the retail to beat the meet the needs of that particular occasion in contact. Scot & Rick: [14:37] And I love that you brought up that Google example because I've seen that day. I think I heard it from you from one of your tweets right back went and we decide to look at the same thing of what we look at our site search the Google data is all about SEO and what they're singing in their box when we look at site search so when you go to the top right-hand corner of your phone or to recite you want to see that how often is that changing as well and we know that site search is extremely important extremely productive what does it look like a cross Shopper in turns out that 75% of site search queries are new every month. So this is the hardest part of e-commerce iste the plane simple basic active merchandising is really hard because there's constantly new things than these Shoppers are looking for and if you don't really. Yes I sent you a lot of different topics about merchandising help or is it is but just that number always jumps out of you need always be fresh you need to not just showing freshmen also responding to all this activity is happening all this change the chopper. Jason: [15:50] Yeah for sure it's super easy to do too so that's the good news the wheat we said this a bunch of times. At 75% of queries being new every month totally underscores one of those my one of my favorite Tools in analytics Platforms in my mind when the most valuable. Analytics views we get our these Zerorez search results found right and so you know I'm always encouraging Merchants like there's gold in. [16:21] Typing in your search you're on site search and expecting to get results for an arms and you know that. Telling you all those new items that could be part of next month 59% on your site if only you were able to respond quickly to the to these new emerging demands and to me that. No results found search queries are kind of the canary in the coal mine is as trans and interests and indications are shifting. Scot & Rick: [16:48] Yeah site site search is an endless waterfall of just great things that can happen if you take care of it if you are seeing no results coming to 1518 20% you're starting to get invite big trouble at that point we actually have a a benchmark that we've run for number of years for our customers which is how good are you at site search and looking at conversion on site search no results search and it is always a source of found money for retailers of. [17:17] Cultivate your side search always go back to it the good news today and now is that they're a lot better tools and then just the analyze how much stronger and. Utility trucks the applied intelligence artificial intelligence into merchandising is much more of a chore today that was gosh 5 or 7 years ago. I want more manual orbis extreme rules rules ribbon that is today. Jason: [17:45] For sure and it turns out those this hoax using site search have very high buying intent so so there are good cohort to take care of. Scot & Rick: [17:51] Absolutely. Jason: [17:52] I know that the next foundational thing was called be where I am can you tell us a little bit about about what you meant by that. Scot & Rick: [18:01] Happy where I am just as it sounds this is about making sure that you are surrounding that shop or wherever she or he may be but also maybe more importantly is reducing friction in that experience and Jason you rightfully so bad on your soapbox about things like mobile buying how much friction that has the still in that process the books of not getting rid of them we look at beer I am is that opportunity to inject or rather reject friction and inject a lot of that seamless opportunity what are the easy things we we jump into is the use of mobile wallets and it might seem like a basic and and maybe even in Alyssa is here and and and the three of us we're somewhat tired of talking about mobile but there's still so much opportunity with it and you know we look at where we are today that's as of Q3 2018. We see 65% of traffic is just coming through phone and we need to get better at converting that one of the ways that books are starting to do that night I look at Johnston Murphy Footwear retail job. Bringing Apple pay into their experience and I love the story of Southern Marsh who runs Commerce Johnston Murphy that they actually launched Apple pay last October so over 2017 on a Friday. [19:23] Soft launch no promotion and LSU folks know you don't typically like to launch features on a Friday but they weren't if we're not there they came in the office on Monday and already Apple pay accounted for 15% of all their mobile orders. It made me more over what was really impressive and they were glad to see at the speed. [19:47] At which folks were actually getting through that shop attorney that folks who use Apple pay would 90 seconds faster than someone else who bought with a credit card so that bottom half of the funnel essentially has been sliced off. Buy Mobile balls in particular Apple pay for their example and we're just seeing that when you can reduce friction and be with that Chopper is in their context really great things can happen. Jason: [20:14] Yeah that's that's an awesome example and you see similar results with other mobile wallets like PayPal or Android. Scot & Rick: [20:24] I'm glad you brought PayPal everyone forgets the PayPal at least in the states is still farther away than a number one mobile wallet that sits PayPal. Apple pays doing well for those that are inclined to use and have Amazon payments that is performing well in those really the three that in the states are carrying some real Cher. Last holiday season we saw just the last couple of days we let up to Christmas than 40% of mobile orders were using one of those three. Mobile Wallet site PayPal Apple pay or Amazon his and what we expect to see this season is actually very similar so there was three absolutely Carrie Carrie the share we haven't yet seen evidence of the other ones that are out there we're starting to see more discussion and more information of some of the financing options for the VA. Says all after pair but right now it was three wallets just by themselves are really caring you all the share of. Mobile Wallet. Jason: [21:36] Nice and one of the other things that's really interesting me in be what I am is something it's kind of talked about a long time on the show and you ordered two is is what we call this mobile Gap that essentially you know traffic's increasingly shifting to the mobile device which is great news but bad news the conversion rate you know tends to be you know a half or third on the mobile device what it was on the desktop so that's if you follow that Trend out that's not a very favorable trend. The. And a year 2 years ago Scott and I would debate like what the causes of the mobile Gap was and if it's something that would abide over time as people got. More used to mobile and is the mobile checkout experience got better or whether there's something endemic and in phones versus. Apps that was causing it and most of the data source I do sort of show that while there still is a mobile Gap it is starting to close. Scot & Rick: [22:37] It is an indoor really interesting things about Mobile in end the story because a couple years ago I got to go to stage and it's actually did my big convert speech it was welcomed with open arms because what's happened. Overall in Commerce in the past bunch of years is that no way back when if you go back to the earlier days of when we're all doing this we were trying to educate our boards of directors to start a conversion rate online at. 2 or 3% is it okay that's that's where we're all at is an industry and the folks who had a store back bro we're pause right there 30% of folks who who crossed the threshold goodbye and condition them. Digital reality of to 3% when we did that as it as a group of of e-commerce leaders we also decided that we would put our bonus against increasing conversion rate so soon the practice of conversion rate optimization was born and we pindar are bonuses against that in and we saw this nice Rising tide of conversion right or wrong a bunch of traffic went there but no conversions went there so I'm sending the birth rate started to fall. [23:58] And we had folks coming to us saying hey Mike anniversary it's falling what's going on and it was pretty easy to point out that mobile Gap that you talk about. It was causing this is decreasing conversary you could still have higher orders per Shopper which is a really cool metric to look at us just a look at all your Shoppers look at the orders and walleye you have a nice healthy message to look at compared to this old star geometric. [24:26] And if we start to get their folks are disabled how can I actually Benchmark myself. Permobil in as you may know we have a benchmark and practice in Salesforce but we have one super easy metric that anyone can use and put themselves against now we talked to her. And you take your order share on a device so today that order share on phones is 45%. And if you divide that by the traffic share which today is 65% you get a decimal it's like .67 metric conversion indexed by definition that showing that you have a lower conversion on your phone than your overall conversion rate in the other devices always gives you the sense of what the Benchmark is. That leads me to is the mobile Gap is still there they're still friction we need to get rid of but. [25:24] The goal should not be part we're not trying to be 65% or 65% traffic because the intention mobile Shopper is very different. Attention is when you're in a store and you still want to bother the associate or don't want to be bothered by this so if you take care of your phone into research. And we found that in the research they already uses their phone illegal to walk into your laptop and start checking something out you walk into the phone 83% of those score 18 to 44 year old Chopper are using a phone when they're in the store generally speaking those folks are not buying on their phone while they're probably going to check out through that store and actually buy with a credit card on the way out so the the actual potential of buying on the phone is lower set intent is just naturally going to be crazy so while we haven't figured out the exact value we do know that the Benchmark of what mobile looks like today has risen nicely in the past 40 years we have been monitoring that conversion indexed the past 3 or 4 years and we see that it was 33 if you go back to 2014 reptile that point 67.7 rage now so we are seeing good things happening, we still have that mobile gap insurance the traffic Sharon or share. Jason: [26:46] Yeah I know it makes perfect sense and I love your point that you like we're not the goal isn't conversion parody because all of these are our different circumstances I would like to remind people conversion is a metric not a kpi. There's a lot we can learn from it but it it on its own is a very poor goal and to your point. A 50% conversion rate might be great for a store because there's a heck of a lot of friction to get to that store people only get to that store that had a very strong buying intent you had to drive 5 miles at the park in the scary parking lot yet she weapon in the store you know people were pretty committed before they got through the front door that store in the further away your story is from the the customer the higher the conversion rate of that store is going to be because only more committed customers will do it. The closer the store is to the customer of the worst the conversion rate gets and of course there's way less friction to jump on your laptop then there is to get in your car and drive to a store and there's. Even weigh less friction to hop on your phone while you're standing in line at the bank then there is to hop on your laptop so these are all sort of. [27:56] Different situations then um you know the goal isn't parody I'm embarrassed to say I still have clients that you know come to me with it. Jason we just want to improve conversion rate and frankly more often than you would expect they're even willing to do a performance agreement when I get paid based on how well I can prove right now I have to tell him. Will totally accept that contract but just so you know the first thing I'm going to do is only allow previous purchase orders to to visit your website. Scot & Rick: [28:28] I love it yeah I didn't I love that point about the friction that it's involved with the digital environment compared to the friction involved in the. Is a teaser we have to put this research out but some point early in 2019 will have an analysis of location-based Uber traded in. Eat the spoiler is the geographies that have lower population density which generally have less access to store tend to have a better conversion rate in digital because that is the channel they have to go to. There's a really assuming top of that when you look at the metric. We use the term you always be careful data because it's Dana and other lies you can be really careful and what day that you accept what day does that you need to focus and say I don't know if I believe what's underneath that lets get into it and any any retailer worth their salt knows that they can't take anything at face value and what are you actually measuring. [29:26] Yeah your ear point about previous purchasers making sure that it's true there's reason why when you think about old school direct marketing based on our FM right recency frequency monetary reasons why the are Whispers because recency wins and you can predict who is going to actually be a good shopper based on how they bought from you before and if so how frequently rather are they grow the business. Jason: [29:59] That that's terrific advice in an attention to the third pillar give it meaning can you tell us a little bit about that. Scot & Rick: [30:08] Yeah give it to me anyway we want to do a lot of a lot of diving into really that relationship between the Shopper and the brand of the Shopper and retailer we can have some really into three pieces within this one that there's a side of giving meeting in the it there is the relationship. There's a side about values in about how you as a brand stand for something I hope to connect with the shopper because of that and there's there's some evidence that shows that yes shoppers do and will be more likely to buy from you if you have something that you stand for and they connect you there's is 45% Shopper said that they are more likely to buy someone we also saw a lot of evidence to say yes loyalty programs matter to Shoppers we didn't we didn't ask particularly which types of oil favorite within to give it needs that give it meaning section. It's all about how do you connect Shopper with product and the Art of retailing is doing just that. [31:12] And one of the best way to do that is by using recommendations it's not a new tactic in fact it's one of the oldest and we've had a digital Amazon years ago. Absolutely astounding numbers on what's happening with. Product recommendations next Shoppers then click or tap on a recommendation account for about 6% of all visits. But that group of Shoppers is driving 37% of all revenue. And when you talk about connecting Shopper product there to foundational things on product find ability got to be great at. [31:51] We talked about one earlier which is site search. Site search is always going to be massively overweight in a good way that you'll have 10% of visits and will yield 25.6% of Revenue. This product recommendation finding of 6% of Shoppers and 37% of Revenue is just. And just goes to show you how the power of suggestion the power of connection in a relevance is driving outside results and in there should be other couple folks are still run a nice day is generally the luxury space that. Art ready to rest her or give control over to to some of the algorithms that make up those recommendations bide relevant product recommendations good things happen, With Your Shopper cool some kind of sitting here and that's these are all insightful, what's landed plane for listener so keep it fresh if I'm in fast fashion I'm already doing that but let's say someone is not in that category are there any any tips or tricks for keeping it fresh outside of the national. [33:04] Yeah I know I'm sure the store last week when I was in Stockholm about this time last year I tried to broach the topic of fast fashion with a premium apparel brand and it was it's really what I once I said the words out loud and Fast fashion just the visceral reaction of we are we are not disposable I think it was lost in that it is the baggage attached fast fashion but what the concept has brought us is this the Snead inability to be. Fast in terms of how you turn inventory how you release product how you get away from the know by fashion Seasons into season list and into micro seasons. [33:48] We see more evidence of folks and Jason actually bring up the example of Woodbury launch just less than a month ago that now they've started to actually have these monthly. Drop Cadence's limited edition 24 hours available only through social social channels or least new newer media channel and they started that series and we see. More and more evidence of folks that aren't in the fast faster that might be premium. Or might be entirely different sector that there. Pretty nice limited edition products that are only available for a particular holiday or sees it and the other side of that is expressly bringing customize good maybe the hottest topic that applies not just to retail but also into supply chain components of retail light is who you bring those customized products they made for me just for me. Over to a larger set of your Shoppers and that we see countless points of evidence of some success in there with a lot of the Footwear makers we see apparel brand even toy brand American girl who's doing some. A customized it all inside make it your own this is a lot to be learned here. [35:03] Yeah I think Doug from Fanatics voices like over half their goods or customize that that's definitely people love customization. It's also you know not to take it back to the shop or but it's generally not promotional. And it is insulated from Martin head because of that you not discounting it either so you you can put that van without usually the premium, and not need to take the 30% off at the end of the season so if there's some really good things happen with. Jason: [35:33] Payless returns as well. Scot & Rick: [35:35] We less returns yeah okay I think I think that was the one kind of the pillars are that the make it fresh is probably the hardest to get your head around one question on be where I am used to talk a lot about mobile you know we miss you a lot of Echoes out there and other voice assistance did you guys discover anything about that is that work somewhere retailers should be spending some time. Data voice remains this curious beasts that we we haven't seen shopping activity evidence 2.2 here's how well is performing at its 8 is it difficult to measure this point because of what's coming through from the players the survey evidence supports that. [36:17] There's some interest and activity in terms of shopping related activities the folks. Only one these devices are taking that number was 70% of owners of one of these smart speakers are doing something Commerce related within the past 3 months and realize there's a lot of caveats on top of that I think that's that's kind of where we are right now that there's there's not a whole heck of it is 22. Massive success of this and honestly this this coming season don't expect it either will get more of these devices in homes will see a lot more use of them for basic activities but we're not ready especially in the break the world into wants and needs especially in those those kind of wants of products that might have some. The Peril in the Shoppers that are looking for the technical Goods inside or performance Fabrics not yet just reorder your replenishing through a device that actually researching and getting himself excited and inspired by those goods your little while until voice catches up and maybe you can meet us at team up. With some other elements of behavior trashley when that Chopper through that. [37:35] Put it wouldn't be a Jason Scott Schofield and talk about Amazon a little bit too can I take the B where I am to the extreme and say well you know there's a lot of people on Amazon and. I put that in the bucket of marketplaces and your eBay is in there and even the Walmart marketplace essentially if I follow be where I am to The Logical conclusion is the Dana telling you to sell on Amazon another Marketplace. Yeah I know they were say maybe are our most important finding regardless of what Mandy that lives in is really what's happening in terms of how that how did The Shopper is relating to these different models of retail like that on one side you have a Marketplace if you fall the Spectrum to the bar other end you have the brands and in the middle you have your retailer and what was really interesting was when asking shoppers. Where they choose to buy they said won't of course I go to the marketplace for pricing convenience and access to products. [38:40] And then when it comes to product Innovation and authenticity and just a cool fact of course it's the Brand's because you are able to go dressed as friends to buy now and what's what it shows then is the only reason the chopper said I will go to a retailer in this is where we talk about the squeeze. Only reason that someone will go to a retailers for customer service, CBC the squeeze and bird with brands on one side of the retailer Market places on the other and what is really interesting to me is thinking about the the winners in retail in the past. Five or so years and you'll get folks like Nordstrom in REI and even Stitch fix at putting that list of just really good retailers that had and have a service proposition. Compared with the folks will be there falling or failed you can certainly look at Oakland Toys R Us and pennies have intelligence. I think what the what the retailing world has become as you got to be good at that way that you attracted to shop with it. Brands are great at showing how great they are at being your friend. [39:55] Marketplaces are winning in being so successful because they have access meat provide such value that access. And then if you happen to get stuck in the middle you better have a way you can actually serve your Shoppers and for those that have hooked on the service they're doing well for folks that, so no one we think about what it takes to compete alongside folks like Amazon these days it might very well be that you need to be there that you need to be on that Marketplace but you also as a brand should we consider it well what do you think about me that will actually bring Shoppers back to me. And that's where all those things about make it fresh about limited edition products about collaboration about customized Goods but that could be a real differentiator for you sure put some of your Evergreen product on Amazon that's a great way to meet some of those Shoppers first time but you better have something unique. They actually get to your shingle that you had to hang up your own. Jason: [40:57] Rick one of the points. One of the things is really interesting to me in the research that related directly to marketplaces was this whole notion of how important it is to get the second purchase from that customer can you talk a little bit about that. Scot & Rick: [41:14] Yeah that the wanting to jumped out we we put it into the to make it fresh because there's this sense of needing to act with urgency and we talked about our FM early on about this. What we found is that when Shoppers see that first purchase that sure they're they're going to retailer or brat but when they want to buy something again. [41:36] They go straight to the marketplace and it's actually rather concerning if you look at what's happening that your first purchase you might win. But your second purchase is essentially a shopper at writing and going towards at Marketplace the challenges that we see in this is end for for smart press retailers that are you driving their acquisition cost based on, their lifetime value of a customer and lifetime value the function of how many purchases generally more than a couple. Then your challenge the Beretta retailer is if you only get that first purchase and you lose that shop in the marketplace your economics are totally upside down. Add this we think about acting with urgency the need to anticipate right and immediately after they buy for that first time where you need to take that Shopper and where she wants to be so she does not at right and no chores that Marketplace it's something you've got to be really really good at and side and we just it's it's astounding how many folks are not yet prepared, to do that and not yet prepared to participate that second action. And some bad news is you will lose your Shoppers to the marketplace and the second or bad news is it might not be your exact product the next time I feel better. [43:00] Another interesting output of the research you guys did are what you called for quote on quote foundational retail truths and they are lead with mobile the power of the store Infuse intelligent and connect experiences summer obviously Mobile in empower the store. No maybe it was some highlights you like curious about the last two because on their surface at school. Harder for me to understand what there. [43:28] Yeah you know what we talked about using intelligence it really comes down to what are you doing to really Drive value from the date of that you know and can access and now there's a very basic kind of hierarchy piece around boy talk to her live person you got to be really good at personalization or at least be able to start those recommendations in place increasingly it work or maybe better put the standard is the bottom of your product detail page you have to have recommendation. The challenges a lot of people stop their most folks say alright check I've got recommendations on site what we're seeing is this this new Renaissance that I actually using personalization to create recommendations and create better experiences in whole bunch of other places throughout the shop or Journey not just Aldi shopping for that so yes you need to have. [44:26] Throughout those two site experiences go beyond the product detail page that means having more relevant search results that might not just be rules driven or rather you can service product. The shop will be more interested in because of what you know about their last Clicker. So text me if using personalization site search or even sorting the category Pages based on based on the things that you know about that shower so that's kind of level to it's it's just barely above the product recommendation. [44:59] But now we're seeing this evidence of better mortality experiences like in customer service that we're seeing this will be the year that when we're all shopping will see a whole lot more. The folks at Adidas at the 34% of their inbound increase are generally some of those basic and a wizmo type pieces that a chat box you just take the bottom off of your service increase for though so you're going to see a lot more uses in service. And then finally I think we're finally at that spot and I say finally because I heard it on a commercial last week that Home Depot is advertising. Hey you can take a snap of a product and you can no search our product catalog based on that so you know when the big boxes are doing something like that and there is good investment in good technology around visual search and we seen this for a few months with Pinterest and with Asos we have just one of our customers Rebecca Taylor is actually a piloting some visual search elements right now as well so we're starting to see the intelligence it was beyond sodiq reporting personalization into this in a higher level of actually connecting Shoppers with products in more unique ways that. Can we have not been done before the last few months. Jason: [46:25] Yeah if I'm not mistaken right I think there are two or maybe even three National advertisers that are prominently featuring visual search in their in their television advertising right now so that that definitely tells you at the rabies it's at the top of the hype cycle or or maybe it's it's starting to really add value. Scot & Rick: [46:44] Why I think that's it was just one of those funny moments of I was half listening to the TV in the background when I heard the commercial and it referred to you take steps that way I'm glad I got to DVR and record show that live in a week or two is real Oaks or actually implementing it and that's good news because you know this is this is one of those areas that. Who is Kenna beyond the basics into something is a little bit higher. More compelling for Shoppers and it's actually use case this is a real use case it's good to see that what's happening. Jason: [47:23] Yeah I know you don't need the DVR anymore to capture the interesting commercials much every Advertiser upload their commercials to YouTube now so you can usually find it. Scot & Rick: [47:33] That sounds like a fun day activities at sifting through commercials. Jason: [47:36] Don't bonus tip there yeah anything come out of the research that that struck you as counterintuitive or there was like sort of a fun surprise for you who you know who's been looking at this stuff for a long time. Scot & Rick: [47:49] Yeah I know it's funny one of the one piece of advice when I started doing a lot of this was he never be surprised by a result weather still thinks it did jump off the page I need one of those for me we talked about the Amazon second purchase thing which was may be jarring Morrison surprising because we put that together with the speed at which we see Shoppers terminating as well so if you run a termination to see when your Shoppers mites actually leave you what we found this that. [48:24] Half of your repeat buyers will make that second purchase within 16 days and I think it would when you talk about it talk with retailers of what do you need to change what do you need to do differently. One of the most important things that we found in the surveyor in the in the research overall is that notion of anticipating because. Now you are your butt respite of toothaches Amazon her once I was going to Take Your Shopper if you don't stay tight or going to put a bubble around a shopper and then even for those that stay you only have a couple weeks before you start to lose a whole bunch of your Shoppers so just the speed of which are retailers Brands need to operate today to eat is I think it needs to be jarring to to all bran to retell it today because. Your clock is literally taking on you and making sure that you bring that Shopper back is maybe the most important activity that you can get into. [49:27] So we spent a lot of time talking kind of in the in the present when you look at the data can you extrapolate it and give us kind of your thoughts on and feel free to mix in your own personal lease obviously where do you see the future of e-commerce. [49:42] Yeah I know one of the one of the things that I think is most important today is that we've cut forgotten what we we've been wanting to do that for years in I'll go back to marketing we moved from batch and blast into segmentation and then have been injecting marketing with more personalization recently. Ed in Commerce we spent so much time trying to get those recommendations on the side and if I knew areas of bit of the experience that can be more relevant in meanwhile on the side we had customer service which is really need the true one to one channel. The entire time and it's been largely ignored and looked at as a cost center in silver profit Center and if there's one area that we're learning and I think we'll take a lot from is next couple years is that will start to see this service LED retailing model starts really take shape and take take effect across retail in. I mentioned the datapoint earlier that retailers are successful retailers are ones who do have a service proposition I think it goes deeper than that in the success that we seen from and I can point to stitch fix because their approach has been a service letter the fact that they have a box to get sent to you because there's there's there's a lot of hype around subscription models. [51:09] And it just like any Eddie hot treasury hype cycle topic. [51:15] Those things will will at some point fall and get quieter just like if you go back five or seven years when we saw the flash cell model but, every one of these friends leave something behind in the flash sale model turned us on to the concept of emergency in Access and it even rate ethically showing the word sold out on the website which knowing in the early 2000s something wrong product next Leona Group HST sold out it changed after that after the plastic model to be over this about brand heat look you should have come here earlier this time what we will see from all of these box models that have happened isn't the infusion of this relevance alongside this notion of service and it created just for you and curated just for you will start to be something that retailers and Brands need to differentiate on actually relate to their Shoppers in a much more 1 ton weigh it and to be honest it's an asset that brand retailers have and it's one that the other competition i e Market places, might not yet have holder might not be using so for those that want to succeed try to play the advantages and it said of just fighting the swamp take him out of it. Jason: [52:40] That is a a great piece of advice and that's going to be a great please place to leave it because it's happening again we've used up all our a lot of time so folks if you were eager to get one last question in with Rick or you want to follow up. [52:55] During the show feel free to leave us a note on our Facebook page and what will continue the dialogue there I will put a link in the show notes for where folks can go to download a digital copy of the research we've been. Talking about on Today Show and as always if this show is valuable to you the best way you can repay us is by jumping on the iTunes and finally giving us that five star of you that you've been holding out on I know you're still out. This week would be a great week to do it. Scot & Rick: [53:28] Rick we really appreciate you coming on and spending about an hour with us while you're traveling I know that's never a fun thing if books want to follow follow you on social media and learn more about what you're up to where should I go. Yeah on Twitter you can find me at Red Kenny and I think Jason like you mention you'll drop their link into show notes but if you want to find this Shopper first retailing report it will be a test for stucco get Shopper first and really hard to take a race. [54:00] Are you guys going to be doing any holiday Updates this year to the demand play the band work platform. Absolutely we will have our flash reporting so every morning after those big days you'll have a nice blog post of flash report results from us so your Friday morning after Thanksgiving your Saturday after Black Friday and your Tuesday after Cyber Monday. Will be glad to pick up your inbox with some really cool findings of what happened the day before. And I'm assuming if people follow you on Twitter you'll be throwing this out there absolutely. Jason: [54:37] Awesome Lil Rick thanks very much for joining us and until next time happy commercing.

In this episode, Carrie normalizes and makes sense of the “mom juggle.” She elaborates and emphasizes on how we must subscribe to the philosophy that we CAN have It all, but you cannot have it all AND do It at the same time. We must have self acceptance, be focused, deliberate, and again, accept and face the fact that we really are juggling things. Once you have self acceptance, you will be a happier person. And of course, we are human, so it is okay to let somethings fall. Listen to hear more on that “Do It” attitude that Carrie has, the one that we all crave. She teaches us how to pick ourselves up at the times that truly seem to be the lowest. More about Carrie:Carrie is an author, speaker, and entrepreneur.  In her own words, "I'm what you might call an “accidental” entrepreneur. Despite having a rather loud inner self-critic, I built a multimillion-dollar social media agency at a time when there was no one to teach you about social media marketing. Together, my husband and I did it without any formal education on how to start or run a business. In fact, before I started our company, I didn’t have a single day of agency experience."  Dave and Carrie now own multiple businesses and she currently serves as the CEO of Likeable Media.  Her new book, WORK IT: Secrets For Success From The Boldest Women In Business, tells the truth about the “secret” to success for women today. (Hint: there’s no ONE secret for anyone!) ​Learn more about Carrie at www.likeablemedia.com or www.carriekerpen.com https://twitter.com/carriekerpen https://www.facebook.com/LikeableMedia/?ref=br_rs https://www.linkedin.com/in/carriekerpen/ https://www.instagram.com/carriekerpen/

Riverdale never ceases to amaze us. From a dude named Jughead literally flaying the skin off a person, to biker gangs and teenager strip teases. We eat this shit up. And they’ve done it again with the most recent episode, which was a musical, about putting on a musical. Carrie the Musical to be precise. […] The post Episode 41: Carrie, Carrie, and more Carrie appeared first on So...I'm Watching This Show.

Our first episode! We landed on the theme “1970's Horror” and decided to have our inaugural film be the Brian De Palma classic, “Carrie” Carrie (1976) dir. Brian De Palma “Carrie White, a shy, friendless teenage girl who is sheltered by her domineering, religious mother, unleashes her telekinetic powers after being humiliated by her classmates at her senior prom.” (source: imdb.com) Come for the movie, stay for the tangents about “E.T. The Extra Terrestrial”, the 2017 live action “Beauty and the Beast” film, and prom stories.

Carrie Silver "health coach and functional nutritionist, working with women and balancing hormones" It's not just women of women of your age, it's women of all ages. During all ages of our lives we are going through fluctuations.  Each woman is going through the same fluctuations as their best friend! "I'm we're all running together, then why doesn't the whole world get it's period?"  In the first phase of the month we are feeling happy, and toward the period (end of the month) we have less energy.  "we just can't throw as many parties!" - carrie on when we have less energy in our cycle. "I'm putting this in my body and I know my body's not going to be happy" - Lisa on eating traditional glutinous pancakes for her fasting glucose test. "Hormones are building blocks and we need nutrients to make them work properly." - Carrie "Change is scary for people, for everyone, for me!" - Carrie  Carrie was always the healthy type, but always felt like crap. Had a lot of anxiety and depression and no libido. Extremely painful periods. Very active and realized when she was super low blood sugar that she needed to figure it out.  She had an inkling and went to see a functional medicine doctor that told her about hormones.  Up until then she thought something was wrong with her. "Let's fix you" This whole weight lifted, and it's not about what was wrong with her, but her body. "If your body's mechanisms aren't working right you're going to be depressed" -Lisa "Sometimes it gets hard to figure out what to eat." - Lisa We definitly have to cut out some things that are causing inflammation, and when we look at the connection between the brain and the body. "Sometimes its not what you have to cut out, but what you're putting in." - Carrie We are taught our whole life to go on this deprivation diet. Telling some women to take it out, that's going to cause even more stress. Stress is a huge factor that people don't even take in.  - Carrie Carrie loves going to the women's health section in the bookstore, and she happened across the orgasmic diet. She had never liked chocolate, and this book encouraged her to incorporate more chocolate. "incorporating new foods is where to start"- Carrie" "We are not talking about a Hershey bar here" - Lisa "there are a lot of nutritious foods that are frickin' yummy" "I get aroused from sweet potatoes" - Carrie Sweet potato is good before your period, and its great for building seratonin, which helps with anxiety and mood. "We're living in such an awesome age" - Carrie "I use hemp milk, I just want the world to know" - Lisa I haven't had a period in four months, menopause is signaled by a year of no period. I feel like I'm in a constant state of PMS. Greens at every meal, what kinds of fats are you having? Can we talk about the gut? I love talking about the gut. "There are so many tests out there now to find out what's going on in the gut" - Carrie Healing food, restoring the intestinal lining. Leaky gut- when particles making it beyond the intestinal wall. Functional medicine doctors - they look at the root cause of the problem. Little bit of testing and natural medicine, blend of eastern and western medicine.  Once you solve the root cause, then you're solving symptoms. Not feeling well happens over time and you don't realize you're not your best self. "One day you're like, This is my life and I don't feel very vibrant" - Lisa "I 100% believe everyone should the life they fricken want to live." - Carrie Women say, oh this is just the way it is. About sex, about food, other passions. When we are looking at anything, there are always multiple cause possibilities" - Carrie Glennon Doyle Melton's Love Warrior "How are you supposed to have a good experience in the bedroom if you're stressed out?" - Carrie "Orgasms have a lot of potential health benefits" - Carrie Produces oxytocin, which is anti cortisol (stress hormone, one of the women's health epidemics) "Getting pleasure is such a huge part of the healing process for women." - Carrie Book rec: Dr. Christiane Northrup Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom "There are a lot of things in my life that I never really dealt with like I thought I had." -Lisa I wonder if that's contributing. Did I spend too much time covering up that I don't know how not to be that person.  People think PMS is normal. Severe painful, periods, every month. "Do you think that's normal? I learned to deal with it" - Carrie "1/4 of YOUR LIFE that you feel pretty shitty" - Carrie "25 years of feeling shitty- not okay!" - Lisa "My mother used to say, 'People do their best work when they're not feeling well'" - Lisa "It's not just effecting us health wise, how is it causing us in our relationships, in work, being a mother when we are feeling like fucking crap?" - Carrie You don't have to live like that. Think of how much better life could be when you don't have to live like that. Are you putting nutritious foods in your body? are you taking probiotics? What is your stress level like?  "Overhauling your life might not be a good situation"- Carrie "What is MY normal?" - Lisa Instead of taking things away, what's one good thing you can add? Foods that help women during PMS: Bone broth: good for the gut.  There's a bone broth bar in Portland!  Sweet Potatoes and eggs and greens for breakfast - Carrie Avocado is great for healing the gut too! What are you incorporating into your diet?  People underestimate the power of short walks.  Do you meditate? Yes. It's my own me time. Having to do it, vs. choosing to do it. Visualization time. It becomes fun.  Be Silly Now - for helping people be in the now, for laughing at themselves. Finding things to add to your life that make you happier. Not about piling it on.  Finding ways to be present.  Give yourself permission to feel good. I deserve to feel good!              

I don't care if it's not prom season yet! This episode is all about CARRIE! CARRIE the book! CARRIE the musical! CARRIE the movie! CARRIE the breakfast cereal! What? There isn't a breakfast cereal yet!?!? (note to self...get on that! Should be pork flavored and turn the milk crimson!) I'm joined by my longtime friend, the nauseatingly talent OWEN ROBERTSON, who proves he's not actually a figment of my imagination by finally coming on the show to reminisce about the unfortunate young Miss White in all of her many (occasionally ridiculous) incarnations. We also get all serious and shit, pondering why STEPHEN KING's first monster has had such a lasting fascination, especially in the gay community. If you love CARRIE, you're going to have more fun than giving JOHN TRAVOLTA a big wet talking blowjob in the parking lot! (Well, maybe not that much fun!) If you don't love CARRIE, then you eat shit!
