In this episode of Retention Chronicles, Mariah sits down with Kim Roxie — founder of LAMIK Beauty — for a deeply inspiring conversation on entrepreneurship, identity, and building a beauty brand that truly sees its customers.Kim shares her 21-year journey from launching a tiny makeup + brow studio in a Houston mall to building LAMIK into a national clean beauty brand distributed through JCPenney, Nordstrom, Hy-Vee, and more. She opens up about the bold decision to close her successful brick-and-mortar shop in 2018, betting everything on transitioning LAMIK into a digital-first DTC brand — a risk that positioned her perfectly for March 2020.Kim explains how she used early AI tools, quizzes, and virtual try-on to create a personalized online experience long before it became mainstream. And when the world shut down, she turned to Facebook Live — streaming every Friday night for four years with her daughter — building a fiercely loyal community that ultimately became the foundation of LAMIK's growth and even created their own “Ladies Who LAMIK” group.The episode digs into how Kim thinks about customer acquisition, what makes a product “sticky,” the importance of letting customers co-create your brand, and why sustainable retail expansion requires data, intentionality, and humility. She also shares an honest look at systemic challenges in beauty, the reality of scaling without massive funding, and the deep faith that continues to guide her through volatility in today's retail environment.This conversation is equal parts tactical, emotional, and empowering — a must-listen for any founder, beauty lover, or builder navigating the balance between vision, community, and resilience.

Guests:  Louis DeStefano, Chief Growth Officer, Oscar Health Jon Van Der Veer, DO, Founder & CEO, Hy-Vee Health In this special HLTH interview, Bright Spots in Healthcare host Eric Glazer speaks with two leaders shaping one of the most innovative payer–provider–retail collaborations in the country: Louis DeStefano, Chief Growth Officer, Oscar Health Jon Van Der Veer, DO, Founder & CEO, Hy-Vee Health Together, Oscar Health and Hy-Vee Health are building a new kind of health plan, one that blends local access, convenient care, primary care-first design, and tech-enabled member experience. Think of it as a hybrid model: part direct primary care, part advanced digital platform, part community-rooted retail ecosystem. This conversation dives into how the two organizations are integrating brick-and-mortar clinics, urgent care, pharmacy, SDOH-friendly retail access, and Oscar's tech stack, including "Oswell," Oscar's AI-powered clinical support tool, to deliver a personalized and coordinated experience. Topics We Cover: Why healthcare must be local, convenient, and relationship-driven How the partnership blends a supermarket chain, primary care clinics, and a tech-enabled health plan into one member experience How ICHRA is opening new doors for employer-driven personalization The role of AI and tools like Oswell in interpreting labs, improving communication, and augmenting care What a modern, scalable direct primary care model could look like The 10-year vision for this collaboration and where it expands next This episode offers a first look into a payer–retail–provider model that could reshape consumer expectations, and redefine how employer-sponsored and individual coverage works in the coming decade.

The fee-for-service model isn't just failing your clients; it's actively burning out the very doctors they're supposed to trust. My guest this week, Dr. John Van Der Veer, isn't just a critic of this broken model; he's a refugee from it. After hitting his own breaking point as a primary care doc and Chief Medical Officer, he built the alternative: a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice. In this episode, Dr. Van Der Veer gives you a doctor's firsthand account of why the FFS system is designed to fail. We get into the new framework that DPC provides, how it actually aligns incentives to save your clients money, and how he's scaling it through a massive partnership with Hy-Vee. This is the proof you need to finally lead your clients away from the problem and toward the solution.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) A Doctor's Take On How Fee-For-Service Is Failing Your Clients (00:09:05) The DPC Fix: Realigning Incentives with Patient Care (00:09:24) The Gateway to Smarter, Cheaper Advanced Care (00:11:29) More Time, Better Outcomes: The DPC Patient Experience (00:24:01) Scaling the Solution: The Hy-Vee Partnership (00:32:22) The Engagement Strategy: Getting People to Actually Use DPC CONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

Michael Fisher was making gummy worms in his kitchen during COVID when he realized candy hadn't been reimagined for today's consumer. With no food science background, he started experimenting—less sugar, no artificial dyes, and all the nostalgia of sour gummies. That tinkering turned into Rotten, a candy brand with its own world, characters, and cult following. From a Kickstarter launch in 2023 to landing in retailers like Foxtrot and Hy-Vee within months, Rotten has grown fast by pairing bold branding with better-for-you candy that doesn't compromise on taste. In this episode, Michael shares how he built Rotten from scratch, why brand world-building matters in CPG, and what the future of candy looks like when it's fun and functional.

In this Omni Talk Retail Fast Five discussion, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and ClearDemand, Chris and Anne explore Hy-Vee's decision to shutter most in-store bars and eliminate full-service dining in favor of counter-only service (0:02). Chris critiques the overuse of “experiential retail” as a vague, unscalable buzzword (1:00), calling Hy-Vee's move a necessary correction in an era where operational simplicity and consistency matter more than novelty. He shares a personal anecdote from his days at Gap about the hidden complexity of over-segmentation in retail (2:59) and warns about the challenges of managing stores with differing formats. Anne supports the shift as a logical step for maximizing floor space and profitability, citing successful models like Aldi and Sprouts that keep formats tightly controlled (4:50). The episode closes with a spirited debate on whether experiential retail ever really worked—and if retailers should let go of the fantasy altogether (7:40).
