Walmart (WMT) shares took a hit after its mixed quarterly report, but Jacob Aiken-Phillips sees it as a "good buying opportunity" despite a messy quarter. He notes that the company's e-commerce and digital businesses continue to accelerate, and its supply chain strength will help it navigate ongoing tariff pressure. Bea Chiem adds that Walmart's scale gives it a significant buffer to absorb cost increases, and the company is well-positioned to manage the balance between maintaining low prices and maintaining profitability.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Indermit Gill is the Chief Economist of the World Bank and Senior Vice President for Development Economics. Let's start from there, proud as we are to have hosted his keynote at this year's e-Governance Conference. Known for his pioneering research and policy influence, Gill introduced the idea of the "middle-income trap" – a concept that continues to shape how nations approach economic transformation in the digital era. Something that strongly resonated with many of the conference participants, who felt it captured the challenges and hopes facing countries transitioning through digitalisation (as they made sure to let us know). And just after his speech set the tone and the tempo for the entire event to follow, we sat down with him for a conversation about the hard realities of long-term reform and the public role in innovation. Throughout, Gill was clear: getting out of the middle-income trap isn't about copying past models, but making digital transformation serve people. And enable institutions to keep pace with ambition. Country representatives are grappling with how to turn digital transformation into genuine development. Their questions echo the message that digital tools alone are not enough. Dig in to find out, in this XL-sized episode, why meaningful change requires building the institutional capacity to integrate, govern, and innovate.

Phillip sat down with Deana Burke for the 100th episode of the Boys Club pod. They talk the Multiplayer Brand and some of the Future Commerce thinking about what makes eCommerce special and how brand operators are trying to tune out the noise and think bigger than tactics. We're moving up out of strategy into vision and how company leaders are looking at new channels to grow digital outside of just websites. One of those channels, of course, is metaverse.Our Work Has Range{00:11:02} - “There is a percentage of people that wanna participate in building a brand, for sure, just like there's a percentage of people who want to make TikTok videos, but there's a much larger percentage of people who want to just passively consume TikTok videos, and they don't wanna actually be creators. And I think that will always be true. There are these different types of consumer behaviors and not everyone wants to participate.” - Deana{00:11:59} - “Any strength overextended is a weakness. So you can be too multiplayer, for instance.” - Phillip{00:28:55} - “There's probably one way that capital can accelerate and lose your soul. I think there's another way that having a long, long, long, long-term outlook on preserving the history and the future of the brand can restore a soul as well.” - Phillip{00:32:27} - “Gaming as an industry eclipses any other form of media when combined. You know, you put the movie industry and newspapers and television together, and it comes nowhere close to the amount of daily active eyeballs, and time that's spent in these communal experiences.” - Phillip{00:38:28} - “There's something really powerful about Costco is not actually the thing, but it's the connective tissue in between the things that are life. And the trips to the store actually make a really big impact on you and your behavior both as a consumer and as a person.” - Phillip{00:42:51} - “Innovation is at the heart of being and finding the muse in our modern era. And commerce has a role to play in the way people find personal inspiration and fulfillment.” - PhillipAssociated Links:Learn more about Deana Burke and Boys ClubGrab your copy of The Multiplayer Brand for just $20 with free shipping in the U.S.Have you checked out our YouTube channel yet?Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Today With Bryana Kappadakunnel: Today on Sass Says I am joined once again by Bryana Kappadakunnel, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, an Infant-Family Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist, and a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist-Certified. Bryana is the owner & voice behind Conscious Mommy where she teaches parents to become the conscious parent they never had. Today, Bryana is here to discuss how she creates content that cares, what that looks like, why that matters, and why she wants others to do the same. Join us as we dig into boundaries, burnout, and being yourself. Pick It Apart [1:43] Bryana talks about her journey and how she never intended to grow an audience and community, but she suddenly did. [9:10] Bryana tells the saga of why she rebranded to Conscious Mommy and what social media means in that. [21:47] Bryana and Christie discuss the expectation on mental health providers to give information online without charge. [30:27] Bryana talks about the challenge of social media algorithms, how that can lead to burnout, and what she does to recover from burnout. [38:05] Christie and Bryana discuss the social responsibility of viral creators and influencers. [45:20] Bryana emphasizes that she would love to see a cultural shift amongst creators and professionals online that isn't just about views, clicks, and comments but is about taking greater care of the people who are consuming their content. [47:56] Bryana states that we are all called to be our authentic selves, and explains how she brings her authentic self to her online presence. Christie Rocha's and Bryana Kappadakunnel's Ah-Ha Moments “I'm not going to put myself out there in ways that are inauthentic to me, just for clicks, or likes or views. That's just not the life that I personally feel comfortable and confident living.” – Bryana Kappadakunnel “Being a creator on a big social media platform, you are owned by that social media company. And you cannot have your business rely on Instagram or Facebook, they need to be avenues to funnel a business but you cannot rely on it. Because in a second, and I mean that literally, it can be completely swept away from you.” – Bryana Kappadakunnel “Check your source.” – Christie Rocha “Knowing yourself, knowing your values, knowing what you stand for and how you want to show up—that's the most important thing.” – Christie Rocha More About Bryana Kappadakunnel Bryana Kappadakunnel is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (90464), an Infant-Family Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist, and a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist-Certified. She is the owner & voice behind Conscious Mommy where she teaches parents to become the conscious parent they never had. Since 2011, Bryana has worked exclusively with families with very young children to navigate challenges related to child development, behavioral & emotional issues, attachment problems, and trauma. Guided by attachment theory and the neurorelational framework, her approach is unique in that she works primarily with parents by helping them discover their child's nervous system and developmental needs. In this process, parents also learn how to regulate their own triggered reactions and discover more self-control and self-compassion. She also guides parents to develop vital skills in self-reflection & deconstructing familial cycles of guilt and shame, which aims to drastically shift the child-parent relational patterns. Bryana also works with new moms experiencing perinatal mood or anxiety disorders. She uses a conscious- and mindfulness-informed approach to help moms realign their expectations with reality, deconstruct the guilt & shame they're experiencing, and shift into the present moment, where depression and anxiety cannot exist. Bryana has a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology, has been licensed since 2015, and has an extensive number of advanced certifications & specializations in perinatal, infant, and early childhood mental health as well as conscious parenting. She is the mom of 2 young children, and lives with her spouse in Southern California. Connect with Bryana Kappadakunnel Website Instagram Facebook TikTok Threads Connect with Christie!
