Today Michael welcomes back Priscilla Wagner of Relentless B2C, Marine Corps veteran, and quite possibly the most spreadsheet-brained guest in Badger Nation. She's been on the show for the visibility death spiral, for classifying keywords by how they actually behave instead of by raw console numbers, and for the custom Excel bidding system Michael still talks about. This time she's opening up her forecasting model.The idea: auditing an account that's already running is the easy version. The data is sitting right there. Forecasting is the hard version, because you're projecting spend and revenue off keywords that have zero performance history attached to them. As Michael puts it, the digital marketer in all of us wants to launch big and find out fast but sitting down to plot it out first is what real businesses do.Priscilla walks through the entire build. Tiering roughly 90 competitors by relevancy using Helium 10 and Claude. Bucketing keywords into core, expansion, branded, and broad discovery. Pulling current impression share straight out of the Search Query Performance report, then picking a lift target that's "big enough to read, small enough to test." She also shares the variable Michael had never seen anyone put in a forecast before: click-through rate and conversion rate decay, because your CTR cannot possibly hold steady as your impression bucket multiplies.And there's a real case study in here. One client's forecast surfaced a buy box problem before a single ad went live so the recommendation wasn't a campaign structure, it was "stop selling to resellers first."We'll see you in The PPC Den!

In this episode of Forecasting Impact, hosts George Boretos and Mariana Menchero speak with Nicolas Vandeput, supply chain data scientist, author, educator, founder of SupChains, and organizer of the VN competitions. Drawing on years of experience in demand forecasting and inventory optimization, Nicolas challenges several widely held assumptions and shares a practical perspective on what truly creates value in forecasting.We discuss the role of machine learning in demand forecasting, the importance of strong benchmarks, common pitfalls in forecast evaluation, and how inventory optimization changes the way we think about forecasting performance. Nicolas also shares lessons from working with practitioners across industries and reflects on the key insights from the VN1 Forecasting and VN2 Inventory Planning competitions.
Local TV can feel like the safest bet for reach, until election season turns the ad break into a bidding war. In this Leading Local Insights Podcast, joined by an exceptional panel of political experts, we explore political crowd-out — when political spending pushes local advertisers out of TV inventory — and what it means for pricing, availability and where those ad dollars go next. If you are planning around political advertising, broadcast inventory constraints, or local media strategy, this conversation is built for you. We speak with Todd Wiseman, founder of Riptide Creative and Advertising and a columnist for TV News Check. With 25 years in media, Todd has managed more than 4,000 campaigns and generated over $500 million in advertising revenue. He shares a firsthand perspective on why local TV stations can feel like "ghost towns" during political cycles and what that means for local advertisers and sellers. John Link, SVP of Data at AdImpact, puts the political spending surge into perspective, explaining how record-setting dollars can become highly concentrated in a small number of states and markets, creating very different inventory pressures from one market to the next. From BIA, Senan Mele, VP of Forecasting, examines what BIA's data shows about the changing revenue mix during election years, including how core commercial TV revenue can decline even as non-political advertising spending grows across the broader local media market. We also discuss the Supreme Court's NRSC v. FEC decision and its potential implications for coordinated political spending and demand for lowest-unit-rate inventory, and where displaced dollars can go, including CTV/OTT, digital video and social video. Then we punt around the question: when the political season ends, will those dollars return to traditional TV, or has the media mix changed for good?
Energy Networks are becoming more distributed and complex. Electricity Distribution Network Operators (DNO) are at the sharp end of this evolution and their capabilities to manage such systems need to transform at pace.Joe Davidson, Energy Systems Innovation Lead at SIF, spoke with Northern Powergrid and Faculty AI to find out more about the work of their Artificial Forecasting Beta project.Artificial Forecasting, led by Northern Powergrid, is developing a tool that will transform load forecasting capabilities, enable the more optimal procurement of flexibility, and maximise the use of existing network capacity. They will also be the first DNO-led SIF Project to conclude their demonstration phase when their Beta finishes in February 2027.Links:Northern Powergrid's Open Data Portal - https://northernpowergrid.opendatasoft.com/pages/home/Artificial Forecasting Dissemination page - https://smarter.energynetworks.org/projects/10145998/SIF website: www.ofgem.gov.uk/sifSubscribe to the Ofgem SIF newsletter: https://cloud.email.comms.iuk.ukri.org/ofgem-sif-sign-upContact the SIF Mailbox if you want to know more, SIF_Ofgem@iuk.ukri.org
Your TikTok Shop video just went viral. Congratulations. But now you're facing a stockout in four days, and your Amazon listing is right behind it. Neil Twa dives into why traditional inventory forecasting methods aren't cutting it anymore. Most operators still rely on outdated techniques, pulling the last 30 or 60 days of sales data, adding a buffer, and calling it a day. That approach is a recipe for disaster in today's multi-channel world. Neil shares a real-world example from a home goods brand making $30,000 to $50,000 a month on Amazon, but struggling to keep up with TikTok's demand spikes. He outlines three actionable moves to safeguard your inventory, whether you're just testing TikTok Shop or operating at scale. Get ready to rethink your strategy and protect your margins.

We get a lot of questions about whether we're in a bubble & if so when will it burst. Many feel that "Bubble" is a pejorative. I see it differently. To me a bubble is an economic event where asset prices & valuations in a new or growing market rise far above their current value. Bubbles are characterized by media hype, investor exuberance, fast/easy money & FOMO. Bubbles do not always burst in a sudden, catastrophic event. Sometimes they have a "soft landing." AI can be technologically transformative and still produce a capital bubble. Those two ideas are not in conflict.The bubble bursting does not require AI to fail. It only requires deployable supply and capital commitments to grow faster than monetizable demand. When productive, revenue-producing AI capacity takes longer to materialize, pricing will normalize and financing will no longer bridge the gap. That's when the capital cycle possibly resets and a liquidity crunch ensues.
Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes David Nabhan, author, researcher, and longtime advocate for examining possible patterns associated with major earthquakes. Nabhan has challenged conventional thinking about earthquake forecasting by investigating whether certain seismic events may display recurring relationships involving geography, timing, tides, and the gravitational influences of the Sun and Moon. His work raises a provocative question: Are devastating earthquakes truly unpredictable, or are there warning patterns we have yet to fully understand? Drawing upon historical earthquake records and his own research, David examines some of the world's most destructive seismic events and the circumstances surrounding them. He has argued for greater scientific attention to possible correlations between major earthquakes and tidal forces, while recognizing that earthquake prediction remains an extraordinarily difficult and controversial field. Mainstream seismology currently cannot reliably predict the exact time, location, and magnitude of a future earthquake. During this thought-provoking conversation, Rob and David explore mega-earthquakes, seismic activity, tectonic forces, earthquake forecasting, tides, the Sun and Moon, and disaster preparedness. They discuss what history may teach us about catastrophic earthquakes, the difference between identifying earthquake hazards and actually predicting individual events, and why improving our understanding of seismic risks could potentially save lives. From the Pacific Ring of Fire to major fault systems capable of producing catastrophic events, this episode of The 'X' Zone Radio Show investigates one of nature's most powerful and frightening phenomena. Can scientists ever accurately predict the next mega-destructive earthquake? Join Rob McConnell and David Nabhan as they examine the evidence, controversies, and unanswered questions surrounding the continuing search for reliable earthquake forecasting.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

No hunting property stays the same from one season to the next. Changes in crops, native browse, rainfall, cover, neighboring properties, and hunting pressure can all reshape how deer use your land. In Episode 91 of the Design, Build, Hunt Podcast, Josh and Sam discuss how to read those preseason clues and forecast what your property may look like this fall. They discuss shifting food sources, water during dry conditions, first-year habitat improvements, changing travel corridors, neighboring land use, and the difference between calculated aggression and unnecessary risk. They also cover what can still be accomplished before opening day—and when it's better to step back, observe, and let the property reveal how it wants to be hunted. Topics include: • How food availability changes throughout the season• Corn, soybeans, alfalfa, brassicas, and native browse• Rainfall, moisture, and productive water-hole setups• What to expect from new bedding areas and food plots• Using trail cameras to understand travel corridors• How neighboring crops, cover, and pressure affect your property• Recognizing the signs of a difficult hunting season• Productive last-minute improvements before opening day• When taking an aggressive hunting risk makes sense Learn more about your ad choices.

#333 In this bite-sized episode, Billy shares a practical framework for thinking about spending in your business using ideas inspired by The Art of Spending by Morgan Housel. The big takeaway: money decisions are emotional first, logical second. That's true for your clients, and it's true for you too. We walk through three questions to help you evaluate spending more clearly: Is this an expense or an investment? Is it aligned with the vision and values of the business? Am I thinking long term? I explain why it's important not to underspend in the wrong places, especially on people and marketing, while also avoiding wasteful spending that doesn't create return. I share real-world examples from gym owners, coaching, software, and automations to show how these decisions play out in practice. I also make the case that not every expense has to be perfect on paper. Sometimes spending is worth it because it saves time, reduces stress, or protects flexibility in the future. If you want to make better financial decisions in your business, this episode gives you a simple but powerful way to think it through. Key Takeaways Spending is emotional, even when it feels strategic. People and marketing are two areas where underinvesting can hurt growth. Some software and subscriptions quietly drain profit over time. The right spending should align with your business vision and values. Long-term thinking helps prevent emotionally driven mistakes. Mentioned in This Episode The Art of Spending by Morgan Housel A calculator/resource from Naamly to evaluate savings and profitability Forecasting and cash flow planning as decision-making tools Quote to Remember "Is this an expense or an investment?" Listener Challenge Take one current business expense and run it through these three questions: Is it an expense or an investment? Does it align with my vision and values? Am I thinking long term?

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough podcast, host Josh Hadley tackles what he calls the "silent killer" of e-commerce businesses: inventory mismanagement. Drawing on his experience scaling brands to eight figures, Josh explains how poor inventory forecasting, ordering too much or too little, can devastate cash flow and lead to bankruptcy. He shares cautionary examples, practical frameworks, and key strategies, including SKU-level forecasting, maintaining 90-120 days of inventory, using pre-orders to validate demand, and having liquidation plans ready. Josh emphasizes that protecting cash flow is ultimately more critical than maintaining perfect stock availability.Bullet Points:Importance of effective inventory management in e-commerce.Consequences of poor inventory forecasting on cash flow and profitability.Risks associated with overstocking and understocking inventory.Strategies for accurate inventory forecasting at the SKU level.Guidelines for managing inventory levels and turnover ratios.The impact of temporary demand spikes on inventory planning.Necessity of having a liquidation plan for excess inventory.Benefits of using pre-order pages to gauge demand and improve cash flow.Emphasis on prioritizing cash flow over maintaining perfect stock levels.Lessons learned from cautionary examples of inventory mismanagement.Timestamps:00:00:00 Introduction: The Silent Killer of E-commerceThe host introduces the number one reason e-commerce brands fail and go bankrupt, which he calls the "silent killer."00:00:54 Inventory: The Kryptonite of E-commerceInventory is compared to Superman's Kryptonite, a silent threat that drains a business's power and can sneak up unexpectedly.00:02:00 The Dangers of Inventory ForecastingThe host explains that inventory forecasting is never 100% accurate and discusses the asymmetrical risks of ordering too much versus too little.00:04:48 The Compounding Problems of OverstockingOver-ordering inventory creates a chain reaction of problems, including cash flow issues, debt, compressed margins, and increased storage costs.00:08:01 The Manageable Downsides of UnderstockingOrdering too little inventory has downsides like lost sales, but also upsides like liquid cash and the opportunity to raise prices.00:10:53 Case Study: The Thrasio BankruptcyThe host uses the Amazon aggregator Thrasio as an example of how poor inventory processes can lead a major company to bankruptcy.00:12:55 Key Lessons from Thrasio's FailureLessons include not assuming demand spikes are permanent and the critical importance of forecasting at the individual SKU level.00:14:51 Four Major Inventory RulesThe host shares four core rules for inventory management, including when to kill SKUs and targeting 90-120 days of inventory.00:15:46 Understanding Inventory Turnover RatioA healthy inventory turnover ratio is explained, with a target of 4-6, depending on manufacturer lead times and supply chain.00:17:43 Managing Highly Seasonal ProductsA strategy for seasonal products is to under-forecast and plan to sell out just after the peak demand week.00:21:21 Forecasting for Trendy ProductsFor products based on trends, designs, or sayings, it's wise to forecast a 20% decline in sales year-over-year.00:23:07 The Importance of a Liquidation PlanBrands should build a liquidation plan and establish relationships with partners before they ever face an urgent need to sell excess stock.00:24:09 Managing Inventory for Product LaunchesThe risks of being overly optimistic with new product launches and the importance of placing smaller initial test orders are discussed.00:27:04 The Pre-Order Page StrategyUsing pre-order pages on Shopify is presented as a key strategy to gauge demand and improve cash flow significantly.00:29:00 Improving Your Cash Conversion CycleThe host emphasizes how pre-orders can create a negative cash conversion cycle, which is the key to scaling infinitely.00:31:04 Summary: 10 Key Takeaways for Inventory ManagementA distilled summary of the top ten rules and frameworks for effective inventory management to protect your business and cash flow.00:34:04The Ultimate Goal: Distributable CashThe primary metric for a business owner should be distributable cash, which indicates a healthy, profitable, and sustainable operation.Links and Mentions:Tools and Websites "Shopify": "00:27:00" "TikTok": "00:23:07" "Cash Conversion Cycle Podcast": "00:30:06" Key Concepts and Strategies "Pre-order Pages": "00:27:04" "Liquidation Plan": "00:23:07" "SKU Level Forecasting": "00:31:04" "Inventory Turnover Ratio": "00:16:48" Important Metrics "Distributable Cash": "00:34:04" Recommendations "Download Slides": "00:35:00"Transcript:Josh Hadley 00:00:00 Today I'm going to be talking about the silent killer that kills e-commerce brands when an e-commerce brand goes to die. This is primarily the number one reason as to why they go extinct, and why they potentially even go bankrupt. Today, I'm going to be diving into what that silent killer is and how to defend against it so that it doesn't become the silent killer for your business. Welcome to the Econ Breakthrough podcast. I'm Josh Hadley. I've scaled my own ecommerce brand from 0 to 8 figures, and I'm actively building towards nine figures in sales. This podcast is where I document that journey and share the systems, the strategies, and the lessons learned in real time so that you can learn what actually matters and scale your own business. Who am I? My name is Josh Hadley. First and foremost, I'm a man of faith. I'm a husband to a beautiful wife and a father of four children. I've been selling in the e-commerce space for over a decade, doing over $20 million in annual revenue and selling multi-millionaires on Amazon, Shopify and TikTok shop.Josh Hadley 00:00:54 And I am also the host of the number one business strategy podcast for ecommerce entrepreneurs, E-comm Breakthrough. Those of you who watched either the movie or read the comics of Superman recall that Kryptonite was the one thing that could bring Superman to his knees. He almost had invincible power, but when it came to Kryptonite, it was made him almost powerless. It didn't kill him outright. It slowly drained every power that he had. He couldn't fly. He couldn't use his strength. He couldn't see through walls or outrun a bullet. But he was still breathing. Still alive, but completely powerless. The most dangerous part is that he genuinely never saw it coming until it was too late. So how does that apply to business? And what is this silent killer that is the Kryptonite of ecommerce brands. Well, that is inventory. Inventory truly is e-commerce Kryptonite because it is the most dangerous aspect of scaling your business, because it is one of those things that can sneak up on you. And before it's too late, you have already put yourself in a really bad position and effectively made your brand powerless.Josh Hadley 00:02:00 So if we understand that inventory is the Kryptonite for ecommerce brands, what are we supposed to do about that?

Always Have a Plan One of the strongest themes throughout the interview was intentional planning.

[Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Key Takeaways 1. Success Requires More Than Opportunity Dr. Roberts emphasized that securing a job, internship, or promotion is only the beginning. What determines long-term success is how effectively individuals navigate and perform once they enter those opportunities. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Getting the opportunity and succeeding in it are two different challenges. 2. Always Have a Plan One of the strongest themes throughout the interview was intentional planning. Roberts shared that before leaving her 26-year corporate career, she spent roughly a year preparing and developing a plan to ensure a successful transition. She encourages others to proactively prepare for career changes instead of reacting after a crisis occurs. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Faith, passion, and ambition should always be supported by a structured plan. 3. Career Development Is a Lifelong Process Creative Intentions supports: College juniors and seniors Early-career professionals Managers and executives Entrepreneurs Small business owners Roberts believes individuals need guidance at every stage of professional growth. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Professional development does not stop after graduation. 4. Hard Work Alone Does Not Guarantee Promotion One of the most discussed topics in the interview was the misconception that simply working hard will automatically lead to advancement. Roberts explained that employees must learn how to communicate their value, connect their accomplishments to organizational goals, and demonstrate strategic impact. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Visibility, communication, and strategic alignment are as important as effort. 5. Tell Your Own Story According to Roberts, many talented professionals fail to advance because they expect others to recognize their contributions automatically. She stresses that employees must be capable of: Articulating their value Demonstrating impact Understanding organizational priorities Forecasting future needs [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: If you cannot explain your value, others may overlook it. 6. Mentorship Can Change Lives The creation of Creative Intentions was inspired by a young intern Roberts mentored who did not receive a job offer after her internship. The experience deeply affected Roberts and motivated her to create an organization dedicated to helping people gain the skills and support necessary for career success. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Investing in people can have a lasting impact on their lives and careers. 7. Success Has No Easy Path Roberts repeatedly emphasized that whether someone pursues corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, content creation, or business ownership, all meaningful success requires discipline and hard work. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: There are no shortcuts to sustainable success. 8. Every Person Requires an Individualized Approach Unlike many coaching and training programs, Roberts believes there is no one-size-fits-all method for development. Her team uses assessments and personalized coaching to understand an individual's strengths, preferences, experiences, and leadership potential. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Effective development starts with understanding the individual. 9. Confidence Often Comes Through Investment and Support Many people struggle because they do not recognize their own potential. Roberts noted that some individuals have never been encouraged to explore their gifts or strengths. Her work focuses on helping people discover abilities they may not yet see in themselves. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Confidence is often built through mentorship, support, and self-discovery. 10. AI and Workforce Disruption Are Real Challenges Roberts directly addressed concerns about artificial intelligence and layoffs. She acknowledged that organizations are reallocating resources toward AI and that competition for jobs has intensified. However, she encourages professionals to remain proactive, strategic, and adaptable rather than fearful. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Career resilience requires strategy, adaptability, and continuous learning. 11. Stay Calm During Uncertainty A defining characteristic of Roberts' leadership philosophy is maintaining composure under pressure. She shared examples from both her corporate career and personal life to illustrate the importance of responding to challenges with clarity and purpose rather than panic. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Effective leaders remain calm while taking decisive action. Notable Quotes On Career Preparation "It's one thing to get the role, get the internship, get that opportunity. But it's another thing to actually be successful when you get there." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On Planning "You got to have that plan." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On Career Advancement "Being the hardest worker in the room will not get you promoted." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On Professional Visibility "If you cannot properly articulate your value to an organization... you are going to be quietly lost." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On Personal Branding "You have to learn how to tell your own story. No one is going to tell your story for you." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On Entrepreneurship "Being skilled and passionate is very different than running an actual business." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On Success "There is no easy path to success." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On Hard Work "You're probably going to work harder than you ever have before." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On Personal Growth "Someone took the time to invest in me." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On AI and Job Market Challenges "We have to learn how to be strategic. We have to learn how to get in front of the problem and be proactive instead of reactive." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On Leadership During Uncertainty "We need to calm down. We need to operate with as much information as we can and as much peace as we can." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Overall Message Dr. Telisha Roberts' central message is that career success is not accidental—it is intentional. Through planning, mentorship, self-awareness, hard work, strategic thinking, and the ability to communicate one's value, individuals can successfully navigate career transitions, leadership challenges, entrepreneurship, and an increasingly competitive workforce. Her work through Creative Intentions is focused on helping people bridge the gap between where they are today and where they aspire to be tomorrow. #BEST #SHMS #STRAWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We think of AI as living in the cloud — but it runs on physical chips, factories, and supply chains that break in the real world. Jonathan Green talks with supply-chain expert Mohannad Gomaa about the logistics of AI: why modern supply chains are dangerously brittle, how AI helps spot trends and de-risk sourcing, and why resilience — not just efficiency — is the strategy that matters now. Key Takeaways: • Modern supply chains are brittle — the tiniest disruption can cascade into shortages • AI helps you spot trends and decide where (and from whom) to source • Forecasting that stops at volume level leads to costly misallocation • Diversify your supplier portfolio; don't optimize purely for cost • Resilience, not just efficiency, is the supply-chain strategy for the AI era Notable Quotes: "Supply chain models are very brittle to the tiniest disruption." — Mohannad Gomaa "It's that resilience part — one of your supply chain strategies — that's what really matters." — Mohannad Gomaa Connect with Mohannad Gomaa: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohannadhazemgomaa Website: https://mgostrategy.com/ Enjoyed this?

It offers viewers a sobering but realistic look at how artificial intelligence is fundamentally rewiring our economy, job markets, and daily lives, while also providing a message of hope and purpose through faith and creativity.

July 5, 2026; 9am: With Republicans drawing more favorable congressional maps ahead of the midterms, Democrats will likely need a strong turnout advantage to win back the House. Early signs show the redistricting fight may be energizing voters more than Republicans expected. In South Carolina's recent runoff elections, early voting reached levels typically seen only in presidential years. In South Carolina's 6th Congressional District, represented by Rep. James Clyburn, turnout jumped by more than 50 percent, despite an uncontested primary. That surge was driven largely by Black voters, who make up roughly 60 percent of registered Democrats in South Carolina. Representative Al Green, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, joins “The Weekend” to discuss.

Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Brad Panovich, Chief Meteorologist at WCNC Charlotte. For decades, Brad has helped guide North Carolinians through everything from day-to-day forecasts to high-impact events—including more recent storms like Hurricane Helene—building a level of trust that goes far beyond the forecast itself.

Ara Ohanian is the CEO of Netstock, a global provider of AI-powered inventory optimization and supply chain planning software for mid-market businesses. An experienced B2B SaaS and enterprise software leader, he brings deep insight into the challenges companies face when managing inventory, forecasting demand, and scaling operations. Ara leads Netstock's mission to help businesses reduce stockouts, lower excess inventory, and unlock working capital. He has held executive roles at Systech, Unite Us, Infor, and Dubilier & Co., bringing broad expertise across supply chain, ERP, compliance, and growth strategy. In this episode… Inventory can either fuel growth or quietly drain cash from a business. When companies rely on spreadsheets or outdated planning systems, they risk tying up working capital in the wrong products while missing demand for the right ones. So how can growing businesses forecast smarter, reduce stockouts, and keep cash moving? Ara Ohanian, a seasoned B2B SaaS and enterprise software leader, says businesses need better visibility into what inventory they should have in the future, not just what they have today. He highlights the importance of using predictive planning tools to help companies make faster decisions when demand shifts, supplier costs change, or disruptions hit the supply chain. The main impact is more efficient inventory management, fewer missed sales, and less working capital tied up in excess stock. Instead of relying on manual spreadsheets, businesses can use AI-powered insights to anticipate demand across warehouses, markets, and product categories. This gives mid-market companies a stronger chance to compete with larger enterprises that have historically had access to more sophisticated planning resources. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz speaks with Ara Ohanian, CEO of Netstock, to discuss smarter forecasting for inventory and cash flow. Ara explains predictive ERP overlays, demand planning across warehouses, and retail forecasting challenges like pricing, promotions, and shelf life. He also shares leadership lessons on culture and curiosity.
