Researchers at Consumers' Checkbook tracked prices at 25 major retailers for six months and found that most of the advertised markdowns were bogus.It's now common practice for retailers to deceive theircustomers by displaying crossed-out “regular” or “list” prices, with lower sale prices featured nearby. But the higher “regular” prices are rarely, if ever, what customers pay. Our study found that at most of the stores we surveyed, the products tracked were offered at questionable discounts more than half of the time. And, at many retailers, the fake sales never end.In this episode, we'll tell you which retailers were the worst offenders, as well as the few that seem to offer legitimate discounts.Read Checkbook's full analysis.Not a Checkbook member? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up for a free 30-day trial to access all of our unbiased ratings⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

This week on Brain Driven Brands, Sarah and Nate crack open 25 Core Identity Maps (CIMs) collected across nearly every category — supplements, apparel, home goods, tech, sleep, skincare — and uncover the five global consumer behaviors defining 2026. These aren't the usual "people want convenience and trust" surface takes. They're weird, psychologically sideways, deeply human patterns emerging across thousands of responses… the kind of stuff your attribution dashboard will never show you. Inside the episode, they break down: Why customers want the feeling of improvement, not the reality of change Why up to 70% of buyers choose identity alignment over product performance Why emotional safety now beats price, logic, or urgency How shoppers are making decisions through emotional math, not rational math And the wildest finding: customers are humanizing objects that reduce stress—naming them, personifying them, treating them like sidekicks Along the way, Nate confesses the uncomfortable self-truth the research exposed in his buying habits, Sarah explains why most marketing overestimates aspiration and underestimates avoidance, and both of them dig into why belonging is quietly becoming the dominant motivator in nearly every market. If you want to understand how real people actually think before they buy — not how marketers wish they thought — this episode is a masterclass in modern consumer psychology wrapped in friendly self-roasting. Perfect for founders, operators, and anyone who suspects their customers are running way deeper scripts under the surface than their spreadsheet can explain. Plus: A live breakdown of how brands should adapt their messaging sequencing to match these psychological shifts — and why one wrong emotional signal can kick you out of a buyer's world instantly.

We all want a little treat—even if we're on a budget. That desire may be part of what's shaping U.S. liquor sales; big spirits companies are seeing growth in the sales of their smaller bottles of liquor, while sales of the pricier larger sizes decline. What does that tell us about how consumers are feeling about their wallets? Host Alex Ossola discusses with Nadine Sarwat, director and equity research analyst at brokerage firm Bernstein. And finally, in this last episode of our alternative economic indicator series, WSJ investing columnist Spencer Jakab joins Alex to take stock of all four indicators in this series—Nevada employment, copper, heavy trucks and liquor—and the picture they paint about the broader U.S. economy.  Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.

After a long hiatus (no, not related to the government shutdown) we return with a look at the economy and markets. On the economic front, despite a lack of formal data, signs point to a weakening labor market. Consumers in the bottom 80% have spending post-Covid that has barely kept pace with inflation, with prices higher by around 25% since 2020. Unemployment has climbed to over 9% for those between 20 and 24 years of age. All these are signs of a K-shaped economic recovery, with a strong stock market supporting higher spending for those in the top 20% of incomes. The Fed faces a challenge with a weakening labor market but inflation near 3%; the odds of a December rate cut have fallen to 50%. In terms of the equity market, we have also seen a K-shape. While overall market performance has been narrow (only 158 out of 500 stocks in the S&P are outperforming YTD), it has been the Mag 7, which have seen strong earnings growth, and very speculative stocks, fueled by retail traders both in and outside the U.S. For the former, this growth comes with a caveat that their once strong free cash flows are being siphoned off (and bolstered by debt) to fuel the massive capital expenditure required to build out AI infrastructure. For the latter, a form of tribalism has united retail speculators, who are treating stocks much like sports wagering, which has also seen massive volume growth. It is important to note that despite stocks favored by retail investors performing well this year that, since 2021, the average Robinhood account is estimated to have declined in value while the S&P 500 is up substantially.

This week, in Episode 271, we welcome another new voice to the podcast: Channon Kennedy, who takes us inside the side hustle that's become her second full-time job. Channon is the inventor and patent holder of the Morgan Square, a clever measuring tool—here's a demonstration—that's racking up awards, expanding its distribution, and carving out space for a woman founder in a traditionally male-dominated industry. This is a true bootstrap story. Channon's numbers are modest enough that she still does most of her own fulfillment at night after her day job as a banker—and she loves it. “Every time I get an order,” she says, “I feel like I'm wrapping a Christmas present. I'm just so excited that somebody wants something that I've created.” Plus: Paul Downs checks in with an update. After posting his best year ever in 2024, he was blindsided when sales suddenly stalled earlier this year, forcing him to lay off a third of his employees. Sales have since rebounded, but now he's staring at a backlog and a different dilemma: Does he hire aggressively to meet the higher demand—or play it safe until he sees how 2026 begins?

Ahead of Target's (TGT) earnings Wednesday morning, Tsvetta Kaleynska will see if the company is staying in tune with Main Street with concerns of inflation and tariffs persisting. While the stock has taken a beating in 2025 as peers like Walmart (WMT) prospered, Tsvetta believes its private labels and social buzz gives Target and edge, so long as the company can hit the bullseye on profit targets.

Green Innovation Is Turning Startups Into the New Powerhouses of the Clean Economy The clean economy is undergoing a dramatic transformation in 2025, and the companies driving it forward aren't the traditional giants — they're startups. Small teams with bold ideas are now reshaping energy, infrastructure, agriculture, materials, transportation, and carbon markets. This shift isn't just technological. It's financial. It's cultural. And it's structural. Investors, regulators, and consumers are aligning behind sustainability with unprecedented speed, creating a climate economy that rewards the nimble over the massive. Why Startups Are Winning in the Clean Economy Historically, clean-energy transitions required enormous capital and long development cycles. But breakthroughs in renewable energy, storage, automation, and AI have lowered costs to the point where early-stage companies can now compete with — and outperform — legacy players. 2025 offers a rare convergence of advantages: • Clean technology is cheaper and more scalable• Public policy now punishes carbon-heavy models• Consumers demand transparent, low-impact products• Investors are aggressively funding climate solutions• AI has eliminated many of the classic barriers to entry This moment favors innovation over incumbency. Sectors Experiencing Explosive Growth Energy Storage & Battery Tech New chemistries and extended-duration batteries are transforming grid reliability and enabling faster renewable adoption. Climate Software & AI Tools Companies offering carbon tracking, energy forecasting, ESG automation, and environmental modeling are in high demand. Circular Materials & Waste Innovation Low-carbon cement, recycled plastics, regenerative materials, and compostable supply chains are unlocking new industrial markets. Green Hydrogen & Industrial Decarbonization Startups are driving solutions that reduce emissions in the hardest-to-abate sectors. Carbon Removal & MRV Platforms This is one of the fastest-expanding segments as corporations seek verified pathways to net-zero. Why Investors Are Pouring Into Climate Tech Capital flows follow predictable patterns: lower risk and higher reward. Clean innovation offers both. With supportive policy frameworks, maturing technologies, and global demand for sustainability, climate investors view 2025 as the strongest entry point in a decade.

Keychain, the AI-powered manufacturing platform for the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry, today announced a $10 million investment, including funding from W23 Global, the venture capital fund backed by five leading grocery retailers: Tesco, Ahold Delhaize, Woolworths Group, Empire Company Limited/Sobeys Inc., and Shoprite Group. The new funding supports the rollout of Keychain360, a next-generation supply chain and product management platform designed to help retailers develop and manage their private label brands more efficiently. Private label is becoming the fastest-growing segment in retail, yet product development has never been more complex. Consumers demand high-quality, affordable products, and retailers face mounting pressure to deliver them to market quickly. Keychain360 addresses these challenges head-on by unifying product design, sourcing, manufacturing, and compliance into one intelligent operating system. The result is faster launches, fewer bottlenecks, and stronger collaboration across supply chains. "With speed and transparency increasingly shaping the market, Keychain360 gives private label brands the advantage," said Oisin Hanrahan, CEO and Founder of Keychain. "Retailers can now manage their products end-to-end, innovate rapidly, and adapt to consumer preferences and regulatory changes, all within a single connected platform." Built specifically for retailers, Keychain360 delivers the same intelligence and precision that leading manufacturers rely on. By connecting every stage of the product lifecycle, it drives smarter decision-making and execution. A top-ten retailer recently used Keychain to launch more than 100 new products, reducing time-to-market by over two months and improving efficiency across its supplier network. "Keychain's AI-powered platform streamlines private label sourcing and enables retailers to bring quality private label products to customers faster and more efficiently," said Ingrid Maes, CEO and CIO of W23 Global. "As consumer expectations around health, sustainability, and value continue to rise, Keychain's solution helps retailers respond to these expectations effectively while ensuring compliance and product quality." The company has grown exponentially since launching less than two years ago, raising a $30 million Series B, expanding into Ireland and the UK, and introducing KeychainOS, its operating system for manufacturers. With the launch of this third product, Keychain is extending that innovation across the entire retail ecosystem, connecting brands, manufacturers, and retailers through one intelligent, AI-powered network. Today, Keychain's technology is used by eight of the top ten global retailers, plus 7-Eleven and Whole Foods, as well as seven of the top ten CPG brands, including General Mills. The platform now supports over 30,000 manufacturers and 20,000 brands and retailers, helping them bring new products to market faster and with greater precision. As adoption continues to grow, Keychain is defining the next generation of product creation, making it smarter, faster, and more connected than ever before.

Ari Paparo and Eric Franchi sit down with Paul Bannister, Chief Strategy Officer of Raptive, unpack new research on how audiences respond to AI-written content, why trust changes depending on labeling and experience, and what shifting traffic patterns mean for publishers. The conversation moves from consumer behavior to the realities of the open web, the role of strong brands, and how AI tools are reshaping ad operations. Takeaways Readers trust AI content less when labeling is unclear. Suspicion of AI drops trust more than actual AI writing. People struggle to identify whether content is AI or human. Heavy AI users become highly skeptical of AI content. Traffic declines hit factual verticals harder than lifestyle. Strong brands cushion publishers from search volatility. Smaller sites dependent on SEO face the greatest risk. Reducing ad clutter can improve both outcomes and revenue. AI tools are speeding up slow ad ops and campaign setup. CTV continues to drive most of the open web growth.

Purpose Driven Entrepreneurship is about more than building companies. It is about creating businesses that align with values, serve people with excellence, and leave a lasting legacy. In a world where profit often overshadows purpose, entrepreneurs who choose to build with impact stand out as innovators and leaders. David Sauers exemplifies this philosophy. As an entrepreneur and co-founder of Royal Restrooms, his career reflects a commitment to elevating the ordinary into something extraordinary. What began as a vision to redefine the portable restroom industry has grown into a national brand recognized for transforming events, weddings, and public gatherings into experiences marked by dignity and comfort. By taking something as overlooked as restrooms and applying creativity, innovation, and service, David demonstrated what purpose driven entrepreneurship looks like in action. But his story doesn't stop there. Beyond Royal Restrooms, David has ventured into industries ranging from rugged overland campers to nonprofit initiatives abroad. In every case, his work is fueled by a belief that business should reflect more than financial return. It should represent vision, values, and service to others. That perspective not only sets his ventures apart but also highlights a model for entrepreneurs everywhere who want to grow without losing sight of what matters most. Purpose driven entrepreneurship also emphasizes resilience. David's journey underscores that challenges are part of building any enterprise, but a mission-driven mindset turns obstacles into opportunities. By viewing setbacks as temporary and aligning decisions with core values, leaders can navigate uncertainty while keeping their organizations on track. This principle resonates with entrepreneurs across industries who face constant change and competition. Another hallmark of purpose driven entrepreneurship is its impact on people. Businesses that operate with a clear sense of purpose attract teams who believe in the mission. They inspire loyalty, foster innovation, and create cultures that sustain long-term success. David's ventures are examples of how focusing on people and purpose results in stronger organizations that deliver not only profits but also meaningful contributions to communities. For business leaders and entrepreneurs, the lesson is clear: aligning profit with purpose is no longer optional—it is a competitive advantage. Consumers and employees alike are drawn to organizations that stand for something beyond transactions. Entrepreneurs who prioritize purpose position themselves to grow sustainably, differentiate their brands, and build lasting legacies. Purpose driven entrepreneurship is not about choosing between impact and income. It is about recognizing that both can and should coexist. By embedding purpose into strategy, entrepreneurs create businesses that thrive financially while serving people at the highest level. David Sauers is a prime example of how vision, creativity, and commitment to values can reshape industries and inspire others to follow suit. Entrepreneurship will always demand risk, innovation, and hard work. But when it is guided by purpose, it becomes more than a career path—it becomes a platform for influence, service, and transformation. That is the true essence of purpose driven entrepreneurship, and why leaders like David Sauers continue to stand out in today's business landscape.

The retail consumer is struggling with a forming K-shaped economy, says Charles Schwab's Joe Mazzola. He believes the markets want to see more economic data to clear the "murky" air around the economy. However, Joe sees market breadth expanding as a signal of strength for the stock market's outlook. It comes with a doubled-edged sword: the Mag 7's lack of leadership in recent sessions.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

AI agents are impacting commerce, and Katherine Black thinks they will “transform the retail industry.” She argues that consumers are “researching” on agentic platforms for deals and product quality, which she thinks will eventually move to “transacting on site.” Consumers seem interested in using the technology, particularly “price sensitive” groups. She notes, though, that the technology needs to win consumer trust.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

This Day in Legal History: Happy Brandeis DayOn November 13, 1856, Louis Brandeis was born in Louisville, Kentucky. He would go on to become one of the most influential jurists in American legal history. Appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1916 by President Woodrow Wilson, Brandeis was the first Jewish justice and brought a deeply progressive and pragmatic philosophy to the bench. Long before his judicial career, he co-authored the seminal 1890 Harvard Law Review article “The Right to Privacy,” articulating a legal theory that would shape decades of constitutional interpretation. On the Court, he consistently championed civil liberties, individual privacy, and limitations on unchecked government and corporate power.Brandeis was known for his meticulous reasoning and willingness to dissent, often laying the groundwork for future majority opinions. In Whitney v. California (1927), his concurring opinion defended free speech in sweeping terms, arguing that the remedy for harmful ideas was more speech, not enforced silence—a principle that remains central to First Amendment jurisprudence. In economic cases, he frequently opposed monopolistic practices and was skeptical of concentrated financial power, earning him the moniker “the people's lawyer.” His distrust of large institutions was not ideological but rooted in a belief that democracy and individual autonomy could only flourish when those institutions were held accountable.Brandeis also advanced the use of social science and empirical data in legal arguments, exemplified by the famous “Brandeis Brief” in Muller v. Oregon (1908), which emphasized real-world facts over abstract legal theory. He believed that courts should understand the broader implications of their rulings, particularly in cases affecting labor, privacy, and civil rights. Though his views were sometimes out of step with his contemporaries, many of his ideas became mainstream in later decades. Brandeis served on the Court until 1939, leaving a legacy of principled independence and intellectual rigor.House Democrats have released emails suggesting that Donald Trump may have been aware of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of underage girls. The documents include a 2019 email in which Epstein told author Michael Wolff that Trump “knew about the girls” and asked Ghislaine Maxwell to “stop,” as well as a 2011 message from Epstein to Maxwell claiming Trump spent significant time at his house with one of Epstein's victims. The victim's name is redacted, but the White House says it refers to the late Virginia Giuffre, who has publicly stated that Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing.Trump has consistently denied any knowledge of Epstein's crimes, emphasizing that their friendship ended years before Epstein's death in jail in 2019. The White House dismissed the email release as a politically motivated stunt and accused Democrats of constructing a “fake narrative.” Still, the controversy has stirred unease among Trump's base, with recent polling showing only 40% of Republicans support his handling of the Epstein case—far less than his usual approval ratings.Wednesday's release coincides with the swearing-in of Democratic Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, whose vote could trigger a full House vote to declassify all Epstein-related records. Democrats, led by Rep. Robert Garcia, are pushing for full transparency, alleging that attempts to conceal the files raise deeper concerns about Trump's connection to Epstein.House Democrats release Epstein papers saying Trump ‘knew about the girls' | ReutersApple says recent fee cuts for app developers in the EU, made to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), have not led to lower prices for consumers. The company commissioned a study showing that developers kept prices the same or raised them for 90% of products, with only 9% seeing reductions—and those were consistent with typical pricing trends, not fee changes. Most of the financial benefit from reduced commissions, totaling €20.1 million, went to non-EU developers.Apple argues this undermines the DMA's goal of helping consumers and fostering competition, instead creating new hurdles for startups and potential risks for users. The European Commission has not yet commented. The DMA targets tech giants like Apple, Google, Meta, and Microsoft, aiming to level the playing field and offer users more choice.Developer fee cuts not passed on to EU users, Apple says | ReutersGoogle has filed a federal lawsuit in New York aiming to dismantle an international phishing operation it claims originated in China. According to the complaint, the group used software called “Lighthouse” to impersonate entities like Google, the U.S. Postal Service, and E-ZPass, sending fake text messages that tricked users into revealing sensitive personal and financial information. Nearly 200,000 fraudulent websites were allegedly created in just 20 days, targeting over a million people across more than 120 countries.Google accuses the 25 unnamed defendants of trademark infringement, false advertising, and racketeering, and is seeking financial damages as well as legal orders to shut the scheme down in the U.S. The company estimates the group may have stolen between 12.7 million and 115 million U.S. credit card numbers. Google's general counsel also backed proposed federal legislation to strengthen protections against similar scams.Google sues in New York to break up text phishing scheme | Reuters This is a public episode.

Consumer sentiment — as in, how everyday people feel about the economy — fell to a low not seen since 2022, according to the University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers. The decline was consistent across demographics, except among the wealthiest Americans (as measured by volume of stock market holdings). In other words, economic mood just became another k-shaped indicator.
