Podcasts about Consumer

WIth consumers increasingly skeptical of advertising, what's the real difference between a brand that's being genuinely helpful and one that's just being creepy? Agility requires brands to not just react to consumer behavior, but to anticipate it with smarter technology. It's about shifting from broad assumptions to a nuanced understanding of intent, especially when economic uncertainty changes the rules of engagement. Today we are here at eTail Palm Springs, and we're going to talk about the evolution of performance marketing in an era of signal loss and consumer uncertainty. As traditional methods like third-party cookies fade away, marketers need new tools and strategies that are not just incrementally better, but fundamentally different in their approach to engaging customers and driving results. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome back to the show Jaysen Gillespie, Global Head of Analytics and Product Marketing at RTB House.

How Behavior-Driven Design Is Defining the Future of the Home KBIS Series 2026, findings and experiences from the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show, recorded live from the KBIS Podcast Studio presented by AJ Madison. This was the second year of this program and we built on last year's show with even more experts in the industry sharing experience, findings and industry-leading insights. KBIS Podcast Studio Resources: KBIS AJ Madison NKBA LUXE Interiors + Design SubZero, Wolf & Cove SKS | Signature Kitchen Suite Hearth & Home Technologies Kitchen365 Green Forrest Cabinetry Midea What happens when home innovation prioritizes real-world habits over flashy, unnecessary features? This conversation explores how a deep understanding of how people use their appliances every day leads to intentional solutions that fit every lifestyle.  Join Justin Reinke, Head of Product Marketing at Midea, and Ryan Shaffer, Sr. Technical Product Planning Engineer at Midea, to discuss how hundreds of hours of in-home observation drive breakthroughs in everything from acoustic comfort to specialized hygiene. By analyzing universal pain points—like the rise of sustainable drinkware and open-concept living—we examine the R&D required to make daily chores easier through practical, performance-driven design that works harder for the household. For decades, appliance innovation followed a predictable formula: more features, more technology, more complexity. Digital displays replaced analog controls. Connectivity introduced remote operation. Artificial intelligence promised optimization. But somewhere along the way, innovation lost sight of its most important objective—serving the human being. Today, that philosophy is changing. At KBIS 2026, one of the most important conversations wasn't about technology itself, but about behavior. Appliance manufacturers are increasingly recognizing that true innovation does not begin in engineering labs. It begins in homes—watching how people live. This shift represents a fundamental evolution in product development. Instead of asking what technology can do, manufacturers are asking what people actually need. Consider the refrigerator. It is opened dozens of times each day, often absentmindedly, during moments of distraction, urgency, or fatigue. Every movement—the height of a shelf, the accessibility of a drawer, the ease of filling a glass—shapes the user's experience. These micro-interactions define whether an appliance feels intuitive or frustrating. Similarly, dishwashers must now accommodate modern behavioral realities. Reusable bottles, travel tumblers, and complex accessories require flexibility that traditional rack designs never anticipated. Washing machines must operate quietly enough to coexist within open-plan homes, where appliance noise becomes part of the lived environment. These are not technological problems. They are human problems. The most forward-thinking manufacturers have embraced observation as their primary design tool. By studying real households, engineers and designers can identify friction points invisible in traditional research. The goal is not to add features, but to remove obstacles. This approach also challenges the industry's historical obsession with specifications. Feature lists do not guarantee usability. Connectivity does not guarantee convenience. Technology that requires explanation has already failed its most important test. The future appliance must be intuitive. It must integrate seamlessly into daily routines, supporting behavior rather than disrupting it. It must operate quietly, reliably, and predictably. It must reduce mental load, not increase it. Perhaps most importantly, it must respect the reality that appliances are not aspirational objects. They are functional infrastructure. They exist to support life, not define it. This shift toward behavior-driven design reflects a broader maturation of the appliance industry. Innovation is no longer measured by novelty, but by invisibility. The best appliances do their job so well that users never think about them at all. In the end, the future of appliances will not be defined by how advanced they are. It will be defined by how effortlessly they serve the people who depend on them every day. Behavior as the Foundation of Innovation Product development begins with observing real-world habits. Behavioral insights reveal needs consumers rarely articulate. Design solutions prioritize intuitive use over technical novelty. Practical Innovation vs Feature Saturation Most consumers use only a small percentage of available features. Simplification improves usability, adoption, and satisfaction. Innovation must solve real problems—not marketing problems. Appliances as Infrastructure for Daily Life Refrigerators open dozens of times daily, making ergonomic design critical. Dishwashers, washers, and refrigeration now integrate into behavioral routines. Appliances increasingly support lifestyle efficiency, not just task completion. Noise Reduction and Environmental Integration Open floor plans make acoustic performance essential. Quiet operation improves perceived quality and livability. Engineering focus has expanded beyond performance to experiential comfort. Replacement Market Realities and Design Flexibility Most appliance purchases are replacements, not full remodels. Products must integrate visually and functionally with mixed-brand kitchens. Flexible, accessible design supports long-term usability. Sustainability Through Longevity and Efficiency Sustainability now includes durability, waste reduction, and performance efficiency. Better storage and preservation reduce food waste. Long product lifecycles contribute to environmental responsibility.

Oil is front and centre today, with prices surging past US$100 a barrel. If listeners remember, we began 2026 with oil trading below US$60, marking a rapid jump of roughly 70% in just a few months. The sharp move higher has rattled markets, with equities broadly seeing a sea of red as investors grapple with the implications of higher energy prices. This also raises a key question for markets: are we now moving beyond a typical pullback of 5 to 10%, and entering a full correction territory of more than 10%? On Market View, Alexandra Parada speaks to Nirgunan Tiruchelvam, Head of Consumer and Internet at Alētheia Capital, to break down the biggest market movements today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – 43% of Americans say they could not cover a $1,000 emergency expense without borrowing money or going into debt. Millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Savings rates remain low. Consumer spending continues to rise, but much of that spending is being fueled by credit rather than financial stability...

The K-shaped consumer is redefining the outlook for the U.S. economy. While overall spending remains resilient, growth is increasingly concentrated among higher-income households, creating widening gaps across income levels. As policy shifts, AI adoption, and healthcare innovations reshape behavior, the consumer landscape is becoming more uneven.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido is joined by Lisa Yang, Portfolio Manager and Co-Head of the Consumer Industry Group within BlackRock Fundamental Equities, to assess the state of the U.S. consumer heading into 2026. From wage growth and labor market dynamics to fiscal policy, tariffs, and immigration, Lisa explains how macro forces are influencing spending patterns — and why resilience is strongest at the high end. The conversation also explores structural shifts shaping stock market trends, including the rise of value-focused retailers, the impact of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs on food and apparel demand, and how AI-driven “agentic commerce” could transform retail media and brand discovery. As capital markets digest these changes, understanding the nuances of consumer behavior is critical for investors.Key insights from this episode:02:11 Introducing The "Two Speed Consumer"04:26 Yellow Flags Ahead - Why the U.S. Consumer Remains Resilient But increasingly K-shaped05:46 Policy Shocks 2026 - How fiscal policy and tariffs could widen income-driven spending gaps08:45 Why Value Retailers and Discounters are Outperforming12:01 GLP One Ripple Effects - How GLP-1 Drugs Are Reshaping Grocery, Apparel, and Beauty categories14:40 How AI Will Change Shopping Trends - What agentic commerce means for retailers, brands, and advertising models17:43 Other Trends Watchlist - Why Health and Wellness Remains A Durable Long-term Consumer Trend20:02 ConclusionsK-shaped economy, U.S. consumer spending, AI in retail, GLP-1 drugs, capital markets, stock market trends, consumer investing, megaforcesSources: “Advance Monthly Sales for Retail and Food Services” February 2026, United States Census Bureau; US Bureau of Economic Analysis (PCE data); FRED 2026, Bureau of Labor Statistics; Wage Growth Data, January 2026, Federal Reserve of Atlanta; Tax refunds per Morgan Stanley, Piper Sandler estimates; “US food outlook 2026”, Bernstein; “GLP-1 Boom Accelerates Nationwide Shift in Size Curves, Putting $5 Billion in U.S. Apparel Retail Inventory at Risk, According to New Impact Analytics Study”, Global Newswire, September 2025This content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Tom Pappenfus (with Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (March 2-6, 2026) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday A two-month expansion of the manufacturing sector slowed in February, just as it did the year before. The Institute for Supply Management said its survey-based manufacturing index signaled the second consecutive month of growth after 10 months of contraction. Prior to 2025, the index shrank 26 months in a row. The trade group said 21% of the manufacturing industry's gross domestic product contracted in February, following 20% in January. The index suggested the overall U.S. economy was growing at an annual rate of 1.7%. Tuesday No significant reports Wednesday The service sector of the U.S. economy expanded in February for the 20th month in a row and at the highest level since mid-2022. The Institute for Supply Management said the four most impactful index components rose together for the third month in a row, repeating a streak from a year ago. The ISM's survey of supply managers reported more uncertainty about trade policies following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that found some tariffs illegal. But managers also suggested companies were learning to accommodate volatility in tariff rules. Thursday The Bureau of Labor Statistics said worker productivity rose at an annual pace of 2.8%  in the fourth quarter of 2025. The rate resulted from the annual pace of output rising 2.6% while hours worked decreased at a 0.2% pace. Productivity advanced 2.2% over the last four quarters, equal to the average since the end of 2019. That compared to 1.5% annual growth in the previous 12-year business cycle and an average of 2.2% since 1947. Labor costs rose 1.3% in the last year, and the share of output accrued to workers through compensation reached a record low in data going back to 1947. The Labor Department reported the four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims fell for the second time in three weeks. It remained 40% below its average since 1967. Total claims for the latest week declined 2.9% from the week before to just under 2.2 million. That was 1% lower than the year before. Friday Employers cut 92,000 jobs on net in February, the second decline in three months, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate edged up to 4.4%. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' monthly jobs report, combining payroll data and household surveys, offered mixed signals on a generally weaker labor market. On the plus side, the average hourly wage continued to outpace broad inflation, and the share of prime-age workers either employed or looking for jobs stayed near the highest level since 2001. On the other hand, a measure of underemployment remained above the pre-pandemic mark for the 26th month in a row, and — outside the pandemic — the employment of temporary-help workers dropped to the lowest count since 2012. Retail sales declined in January as seven of 13 categories reported lower revenue, the Commerce Department reported. Gas stations were among the decliners, reflecting lower gas prices in January. But sales at bars and restaurants, an indicator of consumer confidence, fell for the third time in four months. Consumer spending drives about 70% of the U.S. economy, as measured by gross domestic product. Adjusted for inflation, total retail sales dropped for at least the second month in a row. Inflation data for October and November are missing because of a federal government shutdown. Market Closings for the Week Nasdaq – 22388, down 281 points or 1.2% S&P 500 – 6740, down 109 points or 1.6% Dow Jones Industrial Average – 47502, down 1476 points or 3.0% 10-year U.S. Treasury Note – 4.13%, up 0.17 point

This episode features Mark Ungar, a professor of criminal justice and political science at Brooklyn College and the City University of New York. Ungar has written extensively on the rule of law, policing, and human rights in Latin America, and more recently has focused his research on environmental organized crime across the Amazon basin. Ungar notes that environmental organized crime—illegal gold mining, logging, cattle ranching, and land grabbing—has become the third largest criminal enterprise globally and is now deeply intertwined with narcotrafficking operations. Rather than existing as separate phenomena, these activities share infrastructure, routes, and personnel. Criminal networks carrying out environmental organized crime are deeply intertwined with state actors and the legal economy. The nexus involves governors, military officials, environmental ministry personnel, and municipal authorities at multiple levels. Even when good laws exist, implementation remains weak because investigations rarely lead to prosecutions of major figures. The episode turns to Venezuela's Orinoco Mining Arc, a zone covering roughly 12 percent of national territory that then-president Nicolás Maduro established in 2016. Ungar describes it as a "criminal state project" in which the Maduro government effectively legalized destructive extraction in a geologically unique and biodiverse area that includes nature reserves and indigenous territories. The zone is controlled by a confluence of Venezuelan military officials, Colombian armed groups including the ELN and FARC dissidents, Brazilian garimpeiros, and local criminal organizations called sindicatos and pranes. Violence is extreme, and environmental and health consequences are devastating, with ninety percent of pregnant women and schoolchildren showing elevated mercury levels in their blood. Ungar explains how the gold and minerals extracted from this area enter legitimate international markets. Between 2016 and 2021, the Mining Arc generated approximately $2.2 billion in gold revenue, but an estimated 86 percent was mined illegally, and roughly 70 percent was smuggled through shell companies and opaque supply chains. The zone also contains big deposits of coltan, iron, bauxite, and other sought-after minerals. Ungar shares concern about the Trump administration's current approach to Venezuela. While the administration has focused on oil access, counternarcotics, migration, and excluding Chinese influence, there appears to be no priority given to addressing environmental organized crime. Ungar suggests that Washington's willingness to work with the current Venezuelan government—the Maduro regime minus Maduro himself—likely means business as usual for state-sponsored extraction intertwined with organized crime. Consumer countries must stop looking the other way about the origins of products that end up in legitimate commerce.

Consumer spending has increased in February, signalling a positive recovery within the retail sector. Worldline NZ's payments network shows spending reached more than $3.6 billion, up 2.2% on February last year. The Auckland and Northland regions saw a lift of 2.8% year on year – the most growth the area has seen in a single month in nearly two years. Infometrics Principal Economist Nick Brunsdon told Mike Hosking consumer confidence is continuing to grow. He says December saw a 4.9% in retail trade, so it's all pointing in the same direction.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Khaya Sithole Independent Analyst and CA(SA), about the challenges facing the Public Investment Corporation’s unlisted portfolio, a collection of assets valued at over R120 billion that has recently come under intense scrutiny. The portfolio has been dragged down by poor legacy investments and significant impairment charges, prompting the PIC to bring in turnaround specialists to stabilise underperforming holdings. In other interviews, Roy Bagattini, CEO of Woolworths Holdings, talks about the retailer’s latest interim results, which show positive sales growth but continued pressure on profit margins. While turnover rose and the group declared a double-digit dividend increase, gross margins were squeezed by promotional activity, price investment and higher operating costs particularly linked to capacity expansion and conditions in Australia.

Electricity underwrites nearly every aspect of modern life, yet decisions about power, cost, and control are increasingly opaque. New York Times energy correspondent Ivan Penn joins Mark Labberton to unpack how data centres, AI, utilities, and politics are reshaping the grid—and who ultimately bears the cost. "The real focus is who pays and who gets paid." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Penn reflects on his journey into journalism, his unexpected path into energy reporting, and how covering power revealed the economic forces shaping daily life. Together they discuss electricity as a moral and economic issue, the rise of AI-driven data centres, nuclear power's return, utilities versus tech giants, consumer vulnerability, racial inequity in journalism, and faith as a commitment to truth. –––––––––––––––– Episode Highlights "The real focus is who pays and who gets paid." "Electricity is the most important resource we have." "The utilities once the Goliath have suddenly become a David." "We wouldn't have need for any of this if you didn't build a data centre." "To be able to stop abuse with a pen is a powerful thing." –––––––––––––––– About Ivan Penn Ivan Penn is an energy correspondent for the New York Times, where he reports on electricity, utilities, nuclear power, data centres, and the economic forces shaping the energy transition. He has covered energy and utilities for more than fifteen years and has previously worked at the Los Angeles Times, Tampa Bay Times, Baltimore Sun, and Miami Herald. Penn's reporting has examined nuclear plant failures, grid reliability, climate pressures, and the growing influence of technology companies in energy markets. A longtime journalist shaped by investigative reporting, he is also attentive to issues of equity, public accountability, and consumer protection. Penn is a graduate of the University of Maryland and was the first black editor-in-chief of its student newspaper. He also holds a master's in global leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary and was a John S. Knight Fellow at Stanford University. His work reflects a commitment to accuracy, fairness, and public service journalism.

Most people don't fail at life because they weren't smart enough or talented enough. They struggle because no one ever gave them the ground rules. Twelve years of school, and rarely does anyone sit you down and say: here is how you build a life that doesn't quietly fall apart on you. That's what this episode is about.**The Foundations: Money That Doesn't Wreck You**The first two ground rules are financial, and they're not complicated — they're just unpopular. Don't carry consumer debt, and live below your means. Consumer debt is a quiet life-wrecker: invisible in the moment, compounding in the background. The gap between what you earn and what you spend is where real freedom lives. It's not about being cheap — it's about being intentional. Lifestyle inflation is real, and resisting it is how you actually get ahead.**Protect Your Health Before It Drifts**Your body is the vehicle for everything you do — your energy, your relationships, your ability to show up. And most people don't feel the consequences of their health decisions until they're deep into them. Maintaining your health is dramatically easier than rebuilding it. The ground rule is simple: don't be perfect, but don't let things get too far gone. Move, sleep, eat real food, get checkups.**The Drift Principle**Most of life's biggest problems aren't sudden events — they're slow drifts that go unnoticed until they become a crisis. You don't wake up $40,000 in debt one day. You don't suddenly have a broken marriage. You drift there, one small decision at a time. Understanding the drift principle changes how you read your own life. Small corrections are cheap. Big corrections are expensive — in time, money, and sometimes relationships you can't fully recover.**Audits, Compasses & Enough**Doing regular life audits — even a simple one with coffee and a journal twice a year — keeps the drift visible before it becomes irreversible. Having a compass (knowing where you actually want to go and what's non-negotiable) protects you from ending up wherever the wind takes you. And knowing what "enough" looks like for you personally keeps you from trading things that actually matter for things that won't satisfy.**Personal Principles & the Long Game**Three to five personal principles — not a long list, just a short one that you genuinely live by — become the needle on your compass when everything else is uncertain. And underneath all of it is the long game: small steps, done consistently, that compound over time. The person who exercises three times a week for twenty years is a different physical being than the person who does it sporadically. Consistency beats intensity every time.Pick one area today and ask yourself honestly: am I drifting? You don't have to fix everything. You just need to notice it.Jill's Linkshttp://jillfromthenorthwoods.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@startwithsmallstepshttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/startwithsmallstepshttps://twitter.com/schmernEmail the podcast at jill@startwithsmallsteps.comBy choosing to watch this video or listen to this podcast, you acknowledge that you are doing so of your own free will.

The current landscape of the furniture industry is characterized by a delicate balance between considerable challenges and nascent signs of stabilization. As we navigate through the pressures of tariffs, geopolitical uncertainties, and the repercussions of store closures, we observe a potential modest rebound emerging in specific sectors.

Why does creating content feel so damn hard? If you're stuck overthinking what to post, watching everyone else grow, editing captions 17 times, or feeling like you “have” to be everywhere online… this episode is for you. In this raw conversation, I break down: Why content feels forced (and how to fix it) The real reason you don't know what to post Why copying trends kills your authority How your calendar should drive your content The fastest way to build trust online Why engagement matters more than followers Content isn't about performing. It's not about pleasing everyone. It's not about chasing algorithms. It's about clarity. Authority. Connection. And when your content aligns with your offers, your story, and the real problems your audience has — it stops feeling hard. It starts working. If you've been stuck in the doom scroll, second-guessing yourself, or wondering why your content isn't converting… this will reset you.

As the freight market tightens and costs rise, supply chain leaders must plan ahead, strengthen carrier ties, and stay agile.In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and special guest host Karin Bursa sit down with Bobby Holland of U.S. Bank and Nick Palmucci of Ferguson Enterprises to discuss the latest U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index for Q4 2025. They unpack what “freight market tightening” looks like in practice, with capacity shrinking, shipper spend climbing, and regional performance moving in different directions, from strength in the Northeast to weakness in the Southwest.They also get into what's driving demand shifts and cost pressure, including changes in consumer behavior, softer manufacturing signals, and uncertainty that keeps teams on their toes. Along the way, they share practical moves leaders can make right now, such as building a three-year roadmap, reducing spreadsheet dependency, locking in bids earlier, and operating like a shipper of choice when capacity gets tight. The result is a grounded look at what the data shows, what shippers are experiencing, and how to turn both into better decisions.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(03:38) Warm-up questions for the panel(06:54) Tightening capacity and rising costs(11:46) Q4 national view: lower capacity, higher costs(15:23) West: softer volumes, higher spend(19:25) Southwest: brief rebound, costs climb(21:56) Midwest: modest gains, mixed demand(24:51) Northeast: strongest growth, higher rates(28:13) Southeast: volumes down, muted spend(30:32) Consumer confidence and freight demand(31:46) Leading through uncertainty: roadmap and tech(40:36) What's ahead: capacity and shipper-of-choice strategyAdditional Links & Resources:Download the latest edition of the U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index: https://www.usbank.com/corporate-and-commercial-banking/industry-expertise/transportation/freight-payment-insights.html?ecid=OTHE_80042Connect with Karin Bursa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karinbursa Connect with Bobby Holland: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobby-holland-4a9355/Learn more about U.S. Bank: https://www.usbank.com/index.htmlConnect with Nick Palmucci: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-palmucci/Learn more about Ferguson: https://www.ferguson.comLearn more about Ferguson Home: https://www.fergusonhome.comLearn more about Ferguson Corporate: https://corporate.ferguson.comLearn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/aboutLearn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.comWatch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-nowSubscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/joinWork with us!
