This week on the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and Clear Demand, we explore Tesla's ambitious Supercharger diner concept in Los Angeles. Chris and Anne debate whether this 80-charger location with movie screens and 24/7 dining represents the future of EV charging or just an expensive marketing stunt. Get insights on what this means for the evolution of transportation retail and charging infrastructure.
This episode builds on Dave Norton's article on Substack about Kate King's report in the Wall Street Journal: Can the French Reinvent America's Broken Department Store Model. Aransas Savas, Joe Pine, and Dave Norton discuss the evolving landscape of retail, particularly focusing on the experiential model as exemplified by the French department store Printemps. They explore the differences between traditional American department stores and European models, emphasizing the importance of creating engaging experiences that encourage customers to linger. The conversation also touches on metrics for measuring success in experiential retail and highlights case studies like La Varia Leo bookstore, while critiquing Macy's for missing opportunities to connect with consumers. Takeaways The American department store model is in decline. Experiential retail focuses on creating reasons for customers to stay. Time spent in a retail space correlates with increased sales. European department stores are thriving by offering immersive experiences. Retailers need to shift from product staging to experience staging. Metrics for success should include time well spent and revenue increases. Charging for experiences can turn marketing into a profit center. La Varia Leo bookstore successfully monetized its experience. Macy's has not adapted to the experiential retail trend. Retailers must innovate to compete with online shopping. Sound bites "It's about time well spent." "You want to hang out there." "Macy's has done none of this."

Going Pro Yoga (Formerly the Yoga Teacher Evolution Podcast)
Ever wondered how to align your passion for yoga with your need to earn a living—without guilt?Kalina shares her powerful journey from the corporate world in Poland to becoming a yoga teacher and business mentor in Bali. After burning out in a high-stress job, she turned to yoga for relief, only to discover a deeper calling. Now, she helps yoga teachers break through limiting beliefs—especially around money, self-worth, and entrepreneurship.In this episode, Kalina dives into the emotional and practical blocks many yoga teachers face when transitioning into the business side of teaching. She challenges the belief that yoga and business can't coexist, offering simple mindset shifts and tools like journaling, tapping (EFT), and inner inquiry to explore one's relationship with money.Kalina emphasizes the importance of intention: knowing your “why” not just in your teaching, but in how and why you charge for your work. She encourages yoga teachers to evaluate their pricing, move through fear of rejection, and step into the reality that it's okay to charge—and charge well—for your time and transformation.Whether you're a new teacher or already navigating your yoga business, this episode will help you shift from doubt to clarity, from scarcity to sustainability.—-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:03:27 Kalina's journey from corporate to yoga00:06:48 Moving to Bali for yoga00:09:39 Knowing your values and building a business00:12:05 Challenging the “low-paying job” mindset00:17:01 Why yoga teachers need business skills00:23:39 Reframing money beliefs00:27:28 Tapping as a tool for mindset shifts00:34:34 Practical pricing examples00:38:51 Studio classes vs private/workshops00:43:29 The importance of stepping back00:50:14 Kalina and Kalina's personal pricing evolution00:55:01 Charging for transformation, not just time01:00:00 Final thoughts and message to listeners—-------—-------—-

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1100: Franchised dealerships saw a 22% profit surge in Q2, led by strong gains in import and domestic brands. Ford unveiled a high-tech electric Bronco, but it's only for China. Meanwhile, Tesla opened its retro-style diner and drive-in in Hollywood, complete with Superchargers, rooftop views, and robot service.Franchised dealerships saw a big jump in net profits this quarter as customers rushed to buy before tariffs hit, according to the Q2 2025 Presidio-NCM Benchmark. Profit gains came with a small asterisk because of the big cybersecurity hit last year. However this does mark the first quarterly improvement in domestic brands in three years.Average franchised dealerships posted a 22% net profit increase year-over-year, helped by both import and domestic brand gains.Import stores led with a 34% profit rise, luxury stores up 32%, and domestic stores rebounded 24% for the first time since 2022.New-vehicle gross profit per unit rose 6.1% from Q1 2025 to $2,128, reversing a multi-year decline.Used-vehicle gross profit climbed 11%, while finance and insurance income increased 5.6%, supporting overall revenue growth to $22 million per dealership.“Sustained profitability will come from a focus on fundamentals and a willingness to adapt as market conditions continue to evolve,” said Paul Faletti, CEO of NCM Associates.Ford has built a fully electric Bronco SUV with some impressive specs like 403-mile range, advanced EV tech, including lidar and 30+ sensors for semi-autonomous driving, and a heavier/smoother ride but there's a catch… it's only coming to ChinaThe Bronco New Energy offers two powertrains: a full electric with a 105 kWh battery and an extended-range hybrid (EREV) combining a 43.7 kWh battery with a 1.5L gas generator.The hybrid version can cover up to 800 miles total, with 137 miles purely on battery before the gas engine kicks in.The SUV is big and heavy—nearly 5,800 pounds and almost 9 inches longer than the gas Bronco—providing a planted ride but potentially slower cornering.Ford's smart cabin includes unique modes like “naps, pets, camping overnight” designed for comfort and convenience.Tesla's new Diner and Drive-In in Hollywood is ready to serve nostalgia and innovation side by side. Opening July 21, 2025, this retro-futuristic spot combines classic diner vibes with 75 Tesla Supercharger stalls and even features a Tesla Optimus robot.The two-story, saucer-shaped diner sits on historic Route 66 and offers 9,300 sq ft including a rooftop bar with panoramic views.Classic movies and SpaceX launch footage play on two massive LED screens syncing audio to your Tesla's stereo for a true drive-in experience.Tesla owners get exclusive perks like in-car touchscreen ordering and carhop service on roller skates delivering diner classics served in Cybertruck-themed packaging.Charging supports up to 250 kW for Models S, 3, X, Y, aJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
In this episode, host Ilan Berman speaks with Sam Douglas-Bate of British futures consultancy ForgeFront about how advances in technology are assisting the proliferation of “fake news” and disinformation - and what Western governments can do about it. MATERIALS REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE:— Sam Douglas-Bate, "The Double-Edged Sword: New Technologies to Win the War on Fake News," New Lines Institute, May 2, 2025, https://newlinesinstitute.org/strategic-technology/the-double-edged-sword-new-technologies-to-win-the-war-on-fake-news/.

Elite universities know they're in the wrong. For years, they've been: Charging upwards of 60% for “overhead” costs for federal research grants. Blatantly violating the U.S. Supreme Court's 2023 Civil Rights ruling barring race-based admissions and hiring practices. Allowing rampant antisemitism on campus. Reliant on international students from illiberal regimes. Facing both mounting pressure from the Trump administration to change their ways, and vocal opposition from their Marxist students and faculty to remain the same, university presidents are starting to fold: So, how do these presidents do it? They're afraid of their students. They're afraid of their Marxist faculty. So what they're doing is, essentially, they're talking to the Trump administration. And they're going to go right back and they're going to say, ‘You know, I did not want to do this. I really did not want to cut a deal. I want to keep going with DEI. I think we have a right to. But I can't. Donald Trump's a tough customer. If I don't cut a deal with him, we're gonna go broke. We'll get no federal funds. We'll get no federal grants. We'll get an even bigger tax on our endowment. So I've got to cut a deal. He made me do it.'

What if the only thing standing between you and your first paid client was your belief that you're not ready? In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm diving into the mindset shifts and pricing strategy you actually need to start charging for your coaching—yes, even if you're brand new, uncertified, or still figuring things out as you go. I'm breaking down how I built my confidence before I ever had a big audience, how I priced my first offer (and why it had nothing to do with a formula), and the biggest mistakes I see new coaches make when it comes to sales. If you've been stuck overthinking your pricing, wondering if you're “qualified enough,” or afraid to charge for your coaching, this episode is for you.

"We're not teachers—we're sharing real-life experience. That's why we wanted to start a podcast."That quote from Nick hit me hard because it perfectly sums up what podcasting does best: it captures real voices, real stories, and builds real connections.This time, my incredible Jenny and Nick Cliff, who flew in from Bali and became my first-ever in-person clients, to record in our brand new Saigon Podcast Studio. They hadn't even launched their podcast yet, but we'd already produced two episodes together. So when they reached out while visiting Vietnam, I knew I had to get them in the studio.We talked tech, business, IT disasters, customer service wins, EOS, and yes… why turning it off and on again still fixes half the world's problems.Key Talking Points* Why Jenny and Nick started their podcast – not to grow a business, but to give back to their industry.* Their plan to turn podcast interviews into a book using real-world stories.* Behind the scenes of building a podcast studio – from overheating cameras to SD card nightmares.* The real value of outsourcing your podcast and why doing it all yourself is often a false economy.* Charging for experience, not time – and how that applies to podcasting and business consulting.* The impact of AI and why smart questions will matter more than smart answers.Chapters and Timestamps04:00 – Podcast tech talk: SD cards, microphones, and near-disasters07:30 – The universal IT fix: "Have you turned it off and on again?"13:00 – Charging for experience, not hours: from $20/hr to $500/hr16:30 – Why outsourcing your podcast production is worth it19:45 – How podcasting can become the foundation of a book23:00 – The fear of hearing your own voice—and why it's worth pushing through25:30 – Creating a podcast to give back, not sell29:00 – Smart questions, AI, and why plumbers are the future33:00 – Final thoughts: podcasting as a tool for purpose and connectionSend us a textEmail me (niall@sevenmillionbikes.com) or contact me on Seven Million Bikes Podcasts Facebook or Instagram to book your free Podcast Audit!Thanks to James Mastroianni from The Wrong Side Of Hollywood for the endorsement!

Wait, you mean you have to charge for your amazing services?! How scary!! The pricing conversation is a BIG one! If you've ever felt scared to ask for a dollar amount, to raise your prices or even did what most clinicians do and undercharged, this episode is for you! Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS, Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS, and Emily Duval Ledger, CPT dive deep into setting and raising prices for professional services. The key takeaway is clear: healthcare professionals often dramatically undervalue their expertise. Many therapists and wellness professionals struggle with pricing, frequently charging far less than their services are truly worth. The hosts shared personal experiences of initially undercharging, revealing common mistakes that plague the industry. These include basing prices on limited insurance reimbursements, feeling guilty about charging fair rates, and failing to account for the true costs of delivering high-quality professional services. Claire McLean introduced her "back and forth math" approach to pricing that considers multiple financial factors. This method involves calculating monthly income needs, factoring in taxes and business expenses, determining realistic client capacity, and carefully considering additional costs like staff, benefits, and overhead. The goal is to create a pricing structure that not only sustains the business but allows practitioners to deliver their best work. The conversation highlighted several key pricing principles that can transform a struggling practice into a thriving business. Practitioners must recognize that their energy and expertise are their most valuable assets. Charging appropriately prevents burnout and allows professionals to maintain the passion that drew them to their field. By creating clear value and communicating pricing transparently, businesses can attract clients who are truly committed to their own transformation. Learn practical strategies and insights so you and your clients will both thrive!

In this month's "Question of the Month," I wanted to explore the discrepancy between Spotify's perceived dominance and the actual listening habits of podcasters. Despite frequent headlines touting Spotify as the number one streaming platform, my personal statistics and community feedback tell a different story. By surveying my audience about their platform preferences, I uncovered that Apple remains the top choice for most listeners, challenging the narrative often presented in media reports about Spotify's market leadership.Thanks to everyone who chimed in!Gear Review: HollyLand Lark M2s Wireless Lavalier SystemQuick Take:I was genuinely impressed by the Holly Land Lark M2s - this tiny microphone packs a surprisingly warm sound.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1080: Today we're talking about winners - how Roger Penske was honored with the Automotive News Centennial Award, how 14 states have won back $5B in EV charging funs and how Meta and Anthropic both won copyright lawsuits.Show Notes with links:Auto and racing icon Roger Penske received the Automotive News Centennial Award, and shows no signs of slowing down despite being 88. He reflected on six decades of building a business empire by putting people first.He credits a coin from his father inscribed “Effort equals results” as a lifelong guiding principle.Penske said focusing on people over products is key, calling it the “secret sauce” behind building an organization with 74,000 employees.Nearly all leadership growth at Penske is internal—95% of management moves are promotions.He raised concerns over the future of the dealer franchise model, warning that direct-to-consumer shifts could undermine the system if not addressed individually.He described Elon Musk as a great industry disrupter saying ““Musk came in here and did an amazing job. He turned the industry on its head.””A federal judge in Seattle has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from axing billions in EV charging funds to 14 states, ruling that the states are likely to win their case.The Biden-era $5B EV charger program was frozen in February, with state plans rescinded.Judge Tana Lin ruled that withholding the funds likely violated federal law, harming states that invested in infrastructure expecting federal support.The injunction gives the Trump administration seven days to appeal.Two federal judges delivered back-to-back wins for AI developers this week, siding with Anthropic and Meta in copyright lawsuits brought by authors. While both rulings support “fair use” in AI training, the door remains open for future legal challenges.In the Anthropic case, Judge Alsup ruled the company could legally train AI on physical books it bought and digitized, calling it “transformative — spectacularly so.”He drew the line at pirated content, saying a separate trial will determine damages for “millions” of unauthorized books stored by Anthropic.Meta also secured a summary judgment, with Judge Chhabria stating that plaintiffs “made the wrong arguments” — not that Meta's actions were fully lawful.The judges dismissed claims that AI models like Claude and LLaMA meaningfully harm book markets or replicate texts at scale.Judge Alsup added: “The Authors' complaint is no different than if they complained that training schoolchildren to write well would result in an explosion of competing works.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
