In this special summer edition of the Remarkable Retail podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis return to the mic for a jam-packed Month-in-Review episode. With interviews from the CommerceNext Growth Show rolling out all summer long, the duo takes a break from the regular cadence to reflect on the key developments dominating retail headlines.Kicking things off, Michael and Steve catch up on their summer travels, from retail safaris to personal DIY projects, before diving into on-the-ground observations from recent store visits. They note intensified promotional activity, flagging department store performance, and struggling retailers like Kohl's—whose housekeeping and inventory issues speak volumes about the deeper structural challenges facing legacy banners.A major theme is the ripple effect of evolving tariff policies. Steve breaks down the shifting landscape of trade "deals"—or lack thereof—impacting everything from apparel to automobiles, including the end of the de minimis clause that could reshape the business model of players like Shein and Temu. While retailers have largely absorbed tariff costs for now, Q4 pricing and profitability are big question marks, particularly for cash-strapped players.The conversation turns to macroeconomic conditions and a surprisingly resilient U.S. consumer. However, Steve warns against viewing “the consumer” as a monolith, emphasizing growing bifurcation between income brackets. The luxury market underscores this divide—Hermès continues to thrive, while Gucci and more aspirational brands struggle, and Saks Global faces mounting losses and vendor tensions.The episode also unpacks Amazon's latest earnings, with standout 23% growth in ad sales, despite investor jitters around AWS and an uncertain outlook.Other hot takes include AI's expanding role in customer interaction, the controversy around American Eagle's “gene/jeans” ad featuring Sydney Sweeney, and the headline-grabbing soap opera surrounding Hudson's Bay's failed resurrection attempt in Canada.Looking ahead, Michael and Steve preview August retail earnings, the fall retail conference season, and the ongoing evolution of AI-enabled search.  About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers.

In this powerful episode of 'Holy Disruption,' host Heather Schott is joined by Jaco Booyens, a South African-born American abolitionist who's been fighting sex trafficking for over 20 years. Together, they delve deep into exposing the corruption, slander, and lack of unity within the anti-human trafficking industry. They discuss the pervasive fit-in spirit plaguing organizations, the necessity of Holy Spirit-led intervention, and the dire need for a mass exodus from systems of exploitation. Through prayer and testimony, they call for a reformation that aligns with the word of God to truly set captives free and eradicate human trafficking. Join them on this journey to challenge the status quo and bring heaven's justice to earth.

In this unexpected episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee shares an unlikely source of inspiration: the world's largest nail salon, right outside of Dallas. From robots delivering drinks to over-the-top floral displays, Baylor unpacks what this experience taught him about humility, disruption, and the importance of thinking bigger. Sometimes the best lessons in business—and in life—come from the most surprising places. Key Takeaways: Treat Everyone Like You're Earning Their Business: Humility and respect create loyalty. Make every interaction feel like the beginning, not the end. Disrupt the Ordinary: Just because things have always been done a certain way doesn't mean you can't flip the script and create something remarkable. Seek Fresh Eyes: Ask outsiders or beginners how they'd approach a problem. New perspectives often hold the breakthrough you've been missing. Go Bigger Than You Think: Stop playing small. Step into the bold version of yourself and your vision. Energy Comes Back to You: The respect and value you give others eventually return in unexpected ways. Notable Quotes: “We'd love to see you again—imagine if people left every interaction with you feeling that way.” “Disruption isn't about chaos. It's about courage to try what no one else is willing to.” “The good you put into the world always finds a way to come back.” “If you feel stagnant, maybe it's time to approach it completely differently.”

Check out my newsletter at ⁠TKOPOD.com⁠ and join my new community at ⁠TKOwners.com⁠.I sat down with Sam Thompson again and we talked about why it's never been easier to clone massive SaaS companies and sell the same functionality for 90% less. We broke down how AI is turning platforms like Salesforce, AppFolio, and RentManager into overpriced dinosaurs, and how you can use tools like BuiltWith, G2, and Manus to reverse-engineer their features and customers. Sam even shared how he ran paid traffic to a $1 trial landing page before building the product—and people bought it. We also talked about his new strategy for selling backlinks like products in a Shopify-style marketplace, why form factor changes (like caffeinated gum or chewable toothpaste) are underrated business models, and how his hummingbird nectar side hustle is still going strong.

Alkoholfreies Bier trifft auf pinkes Branding, Direktvertrieb und klare Haltung: Max Wittrock – Co-Founder von mymuesli, Jokolade und jetzt zeroLabs – zeigt, wie man eine neue Biermarke in einem der traditionsreichsten Märkte Deutschlands aufbaut.

The AI revolution isn't just another technological shift—it's a fundamental disruption that will permanently alter the relationship between capital and labor. In this episode, Hans and Brian explore how artificial intelligence is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, threatening traditional employment while creating massive opportunities for those who are prepared.Drawing insights from Jordi Visser's analysis on AI's impact on Wall Street, they examine why this disruption is different from past innovations. Unlike previous technological advances that created new job categories, AI has the potential to replace both mental and physical labor at a speed that far exceeds society's ability to adapt.The discussion emphasizes why building a strong capital base through strategies like Infinite Banking Concepts (IBC) may be more crucial than ever. Rather than trying to predict exactly how AI will unfold, Hans and Brian advocate for creating flexible financial strategies that can thrive regardless of the specific outcomes.Capital Compounds, Labor Waits: The fundamental shift happening now is that AI enables capital to grow exponentially while labor becomes increasingly replaceable. Companies can dramatically reduce their workforce while simultaneously increasing productivity and profits, creating an unprecedented divergence between capital owners and workers.The Speed of Disruption: What once took decades of technological adoption now happens in quarters. The pace of AI advancement means traditional economic models and Fed policies may be inadequate for managing a world where markets boom while unemployment rises simultaneously.Building Financial Resilience: Rather than trying to predict exactly how AI will unfold, the focus should be on creating flexible financial strategies that can thrive regardless of the specific outcomes. Having accessible capital and ownership positions becomes critical for capturing opportunities in this rapidly changing landscape.Embracing AI as a Tool: Instead of resisting technological change, individuals and businesses should actively learn to leverage AI for productivity gains. Those who adapt early will have significant advantages over those who try to avoid or ignore these tools.➡️Chapters:00:00 - Opening thoughts on AI as unprecedented disruption01:00 - Introduction to the episode and Jordi Visser's insights03:00 - Brian's real estate closing and dry powder strategy04:00 - Comparing AI to previous disruptors (internet, mobile phones)07:00 - Capital compounds, labor waits - the new paradigm09:00 - Which industries and jobs are at risk11:00 - The future of airline pilots and automation13:00 - Logarithmic scale of technological change15:00 - The death of the university system18:00 - Trade jobs and physical labor considerations19:00 - Building capital for the next generation21:00 - Social unrest and economic disparity risks24:00 - Christian perspective on fear and preparation25:00 - Federal Reserve challenges with AI disruption27:00 - IBC as resilient foundational strategy29:00 - The three-body problem analogy for unpredictability31:00 - Personal AI experiences and practical applications34:00 - Don't become a "boomer with a phone"36:00 - Meta and Tesla's AI investments39:00 - The importance of staying current with AI41:00 - July 4th plans and closing thoughtsGot Questions?

In today's fast-changing world, disruption is no longer the exception - it's the environment we operate in. But with the right strategies, tools, and mindset, supply chains can do more than survive - they can operate, grow, and thrive.In this episode of Beyond The Box, we're joined by:

In this episode of The Voice of Retail, I'm thrilled to welcome back Chris Jones, Founder and CEO of Cannabis Xpress, for his third appearance on the show. Chris offers an insider's view of the fast-changing cannabis retail landscape in Canada. Since we last spoke, Cannabis Xpress has grown to 21 stores—14 in Ontario and 7 in New Brunswick—becoming the largest private cannabis retailer in New Brunswick.Chris shares how his focus on underserved communities and cost-efficient, compact store formats has created a sustainable and profitable business model in a sector plagued by high overhead, oversupply, and stiff competition. He explains why small-town locations, limited SKU count, and fast, expert service are at the heart of his winning value proposition.We explore the broader industry landscape, including how Ontario's cannabis market has peaked and is now in a correction phase, with closures and lease renewals looming. Chris offers a frank take on regulatory blind spots that allowed a flood of stores—sometimes side by side—without proper planning. He also speaks to the remaining dominance of the illicit market, and how changes to edible dosage limits, store hours, and licensing could help bring more consumers into the legal fold.Chris doesn't shy away from highlighting the pros and cons of the Canadian system compared to U.S. states like California and New York, where regulatory complexity and taxation have stifled growth. Yet, he remains optimistic about the future of cannabis retail—both in Canada and abroad.Looking ahead, Chris reveals plans to pursue more licenses in Atlantic Canada, potentially introduce private label products, and eventually sell the business. Despite a challenging retail environment, Cannabis Xpress is not just surviving—it's thriving, with over $10 million in revenue and 70 employees across Canada.

The digital landscape is shifting beneath our feet, and nowhere is this more evident than in the migration from X to Blue Sky. Our latest episode dives deep into this phenomenon while comparing it to another "killer" debate - Smoke Eye Barrel Proof versus George T. Stag bourbon.With Blue Sky reaching 32 million users against X's 570 million, raw numbers don't tell the full story. At Emerald City Comic Con, a major Pacific Northwest event drawing nearly 100,000 attendees, we witnessed something remarkable - exhibitors and attendees actively avoiding X handles and exclusively requesting Blue Sky accounts. This grassroots movement suggests something profound is happening in how people connect online.But what's driving this shift? While initially following political divides with left-leaning users gravitating toward Blue Sky, the migration is evolving as scientists and others seeking accurate information join the platform. Blue Sky appears to be recapturing the spirit of early Twitter - before excessive content controls but with enough moderation to maintain information integrity. With Instagram-like features already available (though still lacking streaming capabilities), Blue Sky is positioning itself as a return to social media's more functional past.Will Blue Sky truly become the X-killer? Like our whiskey comparison (where George T. Stag remains superior despite Smoke Eye's "killer" marketing), the answer lies in user preference and adoption. Major sports organizations still exclusively share roster information on X, forcing fans to maintain a presence there. But as Blue Sky continues developing features and attracting diverse users, we may be entering an era of specialized platforms serving different needs - a healthier digital ecosystem where meaningful choices exist rather than one-size-fits-all environments.What's your experience with Blue Sky? Have you made the switch or are you waiting to see how the platform evolves?

In our third episode this season, we focus on how best to decide where, when and how to use AI tools to deliver growth, no matter the weather.

In this special summer episode of the Remarkable Retail podcast, recorded live at the CommerceNext Growth Show in New York, we welcome Jeannie Yoo, CEO of Draper James, for a wide-ranging conversation on the brand's growth trajectory, the power of celebrity in retail, and the rise of human-centric retail experiences.Jeannie brings two decades of fashion retail experience to the table, from her early days at Michael Kors and Coach to leading the luxury house Adam Lippes. Now nine months into her role at Draper James, Yoo is steering the Southern-rooted lifestyle brand—founded by Reese Witherspoon—through its next stage of growth, marked by its 10th anniversary "decade tour" and a sharpened focus on customer connection.Yoo discusses how Draper James defies the "digitally native" label, thriving through retail stores, with licensing and pop-ups that foster personal, local, and sensory experiences. While the brand's celebrity origin story is foundational, Yoo emphasizes how its growth is now powered by inclusive pricing, joyful storytelling, and a culture of Southern hospitality. Reese Witherspoon remains involved, but the brand is scaling under Yoo's operational leadership and with the backing of Consortium Brand Partners.Central to the conversation is Yoo's take on "human-centric retailing"—a strategy rooted in community engagement, elevated in-store experiences, and product innovation informed by customer passions for gardening, books, and food. She describes how Draper James curates joy through both product and experience, emphasizing quality over quantity in an era of fashion abundance. Technology, particularly AI, plays a role, but not the leading one. The focus, she notes, is on enabling smarter, more efficient work—not replacing human intuition or creativity.Looking ahead, Yoo sees North American expansion—especially retail and licensing—as the brand's most significant opportunity before tackling global markets. She also reflects on her leadership style, which has been forged in both large organizations and niche luxury brands, allowing her to scale thoughtfully without losing the emotional resonance that makes Draper James special.
