Welcome to Media in Retail Today, RETHINK Retail officially launched Media in Retail (MiR), a new community built for the people shaping the future of retail media. To mark the launch, Community Chair Drew Cashmore joins Jeremy Goldman to discuss why the industry needs a dedicated space for connection, collaboration, and candid conversation. WHY MIR EXISTS: - Retail media has grown quickly, but there are still too few opportunities for authentic, honest conversations between the people building the industry. - MiR brings together brands, retailers, agencies, and technology partners in a year-round community built around shared learning, fresh perspectives, and real-world experience. - A Community, Not an Event - MiR doesn't begin and end with an event. It's a year-round community designed to connect, learn, and grow alongside peers across the industry. - The community is also meant to create pathways for emerging and aspiring retail media leaders, while opening the door to mentorship and shared learning across experience levels. WHY IT MATTERS NOW: - Retail media is becoming a core part of how retailers operate, engage customers, and drive growth. - “Retail media started in its infancy as a profit center for retailers to offset some of their operating costs. And it is quickly moved into the total flywheel that generates value for retailers.” - As the industry evolves, the decisions shaping its future shouldn't happen in isolation. Progress depends on greater collaboration, stronger relationships, and a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing every part of the market. What Success Looks Like MIR IS BUILT TO: - Helping buyers and sellers better understand each other's priorities - Creating opportunities for more productive conversations across the industry - Supporting the next generation of retail media leaders - Building stronger connections between the people shaping the future of the space Listen to the launch episode to hear why MiR was created, what it hopes to achieve, and how you can be part of the conversation.

A lot of creators chase growth before realizing Podcast community matters more than downloads that disappear after one listen. The morning show cast and crew talk about the difference between having an audience and building real connection, the kind where listeners share your episodes, message you about how the show helped them, and keep showing up because they feel part of something. There's also a bigger conversation around consistency, vulnerability, and why the strongest momentum usually comes from the people already paying attention, not random spikes in traffic. By the end, you may stop thinking of community as a bonus and start seeing it as the reason podcasts last in the first place.Episode Highlights:[02:11] Personal Update and Gratitude[02:47] Spotlight Series Introduction[13:42] Why Community Beats Numbers[14:34] Listener Moments That Prove Impact[19:42] Audience vs. Community Signals[26:13] The Five-Step Community Framework[28:10] Step One: Embed Before You Lead[29:58] Connecting Two Tribes[33:44] Show Up and Learn People[36:33] What Makes Leaders Strong[45:43] Audience vs. Network vs. Community[53:17] Personal Priorities and Wrap-UpLinks & Resources:Cartridge and Quest:https://www.cartridgeandquest.com/Feature Your Podcast on the Podcasting Morning Show:https://PodcastingMorningShow.com/spotlightThe Podcasting Morning Show:⁠⁠www.podcastingmorningshow.com⁠⁠Ways to Watch or Listen:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/joinus/Meet the PMS Cast and Crew:⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/people⁠⁠Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:⁠⁠www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠⁠⁠Book A Free Call With Marc:https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycallApplication To Submit Your Show For Evaluation:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/eval⁠⁠Join us every other Monday at 8 AM ET for the Obsession Worthy Podcasts:⁠⁠⁠http://podcastingmorningshow.com/owp/⁠⁠Join us LIVE every weekday morning at 8 am ET (US) on ⁠Clubhouse⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/clubhouse⁠⁠EPC3 Speaker Application:⁠⁠ ⁠https://empoweredpodcasting.com/speakersPowered by⁠⁠⁠ ⁠iRonickMedia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠ContentCreatorsAccountant.com⁠⁠Send in your mailbag questions:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/contact/⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠marc@ironickmedia.com⁠Want to be a guest on The Podcasting Morning Show?

Have you ever felt like nobody truly understands what you're going through—whether you're navigating concussion recovery, building a business, or trying to support others without burning yourself out? Too many people try to "do it all" alone. Clinicians isolate themselves instead of leaning into collaboration, entrepreneurs carry the weight of leadership in silence, and those on a healing journey often stay stuck in communities that reinforce hopelessness instead of growth. But here's the truth: healing, growth, and success were never meant to happen in isolation. The right community can change everything—from your recovery journey to your business trajectory to your sense of purpose and connection. In this episode, Natasha shares personal stories, powerful reflections, and real-life examples of how finding the right people can transform your life in ways you never expected. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why community plays a critical role in concussion recovery, entrepreneurship, and mental well-being The difference between supportive communities that help you grow and toxic spaces that keep you stuck How collaboration and connection can help clinicians better support their patients and avoid burnout Why stepping into uncomfortable rooms and new environments can lead to life-changing opportunities If you've been craving connection, support, or a reminder that you don't have to navigate life alone, this episode is for you.     Let's connect!   Instagram:  @natasha.wilch https://www.instagram.com/natasha.wilch/ Email: hello@natashawilch.com Website: https://www.natasha-wilch.com   Join the Clinician's Edge to have Your Weekly Taste of Neuro Wisdom  here: https://www.natashawilch.com/clinicians-edge   Join the Concussion Mini School and Membership!
