Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/GbxfYuFB8-g  In this episode, recorded live at Shoptalk Europe, we discussed the Future of Retail Media in a “Quick Fire” format with Katrina Smart (VP at Mars United Commerce), Alexis Marcombe (CEO at Unlimitail) and Rudolf Schneider (Head of Amazon Ads EU).   In the session, we debated the following topics: In the future, will we stop talking about “Retail” Media and see it as part of the broader Media mix? How will measurement be solved and standardised? And will then incrementality be proven? How should brands best structure to engage with RMN's to have a great cooperation? Will AI and automation simplify Retail Media—or just add more complexity to an already crowded space? Where in the marketing funnel should Retail Media play, if the funnel still exists in the future?

In this candid Shop Talk episode, Brianna joins from Costa Rica, where she's spending a month on a “sabbatical-ish”—a slower pace of work made possible by years of intentional business design. She and Whitney unpack what it really takes to step away from the day-to-day without compromising client experience. They discuss shifting from task-based delegation to outcome-based leadership, building a team culture rooted in ownership and empowerment, and redefining success beyond revenue. Plus, they reflect on the personal and professional growth required to truly let go and why they've decided to sunset the Advisor Accelerator after five impactful years.

With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   In This Episode: Running a retail business isn't just about WHAT you sell—it's about WHO you bringing together in your retail store.  In this heartwarming and wisdom-filled episode, Cadence Kidwell of Fuzzy Goat (a yarn store in Thomasville, Georgia) shares how she's built a thriving business rooted in connection, creativity, and community support. Whether you're a seasoned retailer or just starting out, Cadence's story will inspire you to think big, act bravely, and build something meaningful. Key Takeaways from a Retail Yarn Store Owner: Cadence shares her inspirational journey from university teacher to yarn shop owner Why community is the most important product she sells How she built a strong, trusted team that loves the store like it's their own Creative marketing tools she swears by (like countdowns and story-driven videos) How events like Local Yarn Shop Day bring huge in-store traffic Why offering benefits like retirement plans helps retain staff The importance of mentorship, coaching, and always learning something new “We're not just selling yarn. We are selling connection and whimsy.” - Cadence Kidwell About Cadence and Fuzzy Goat Prior to opening Fuzzy Goat, Cadence Kidwell obtained a PhD in Creative Writing and designed a certificate program for students to develop cultural competencies while working at Florida State University. She was happy with that career but began dreaming of her own shop. She decided that she could either steady-on into the last decade of university life or she could join the makers' life by building a business from a rough-worn building & filling it with beautiful yarns made by strong women.    Luckily for Thomasville (and the rest of us) she chose the latter. Fuzzy Goat is truly an independent business with over 90% of our merchandise created by other independent women makers. Fuzzy Goat creates a space where conversation across generations and life experiences is valued and sought after.   Follow along with Cadence and Fuzzy Goat here: Website | Instagram | Facebook Use code SHOPTALK to get 11% off your order through Fuzzy Goat's website!

¿Qué está marcando el futuro del eCommerce y el retail? En este nuevo episodio sobre el Shoptalk Europe 2025, uno de los eventos más importantes del sector, Corti, Jorge Cano y Frankie Carrero analizan las grandes tendencias que están transformando la industria.

In dieser Kassenzone-Spezialfolge treffen sich Karo Junker de Neui und Alexander Graf zum Reality-Check für ein paar der aktuellsten Handelsthemen. Nach ihrem Besuch der Shoptalk in Barcelona analysieren sie die neuesten Trends im stationären und digitalen Handel – inklusive der Frage, ob „Omnichannel“ jetzt unter dem neuen Label „Unified Commerce“ doch noch funktioniert oder weiterhin an der Praxis scheitert. Braucht der Handel wirklich mehr Technologie – oder einfach nur bessere Kundenerlebnisse? Besonders spannend wird es beim Blick auf The Platform Group: Ein Unternehmen, das laut eigener Aussage stark wächst, aber zunehmend durch kritische Presseberichte, Führungskräfte-Rücktritte und schwer nachvollziehbare Zahlen auffällt. Karo analysiert exemplarisch den Traffic und Umsatz einzelner Portale – mit aufschlussreichen Ergebnissen. Zum Abschluss geben Karo und Alex einen Ausblick auf die K5-Konferenz in Berlin. Beide sind mit Sessions, Thesen und Formaten vertreten – von Live-Podcasts bis Guided Tours. Korrektur: In einer früheren Version sagen wir, dass Mister Spex Teil der Platform Group ist – das stimmt nicht. Mister Spex ist ein eigenständiges Unternehmen.

What truly makes this hobby special? Is it the kits, the techniques, or something deeper? Today we explore how the human connections in scale modeling often become more meaningful than the models themselves. Kentucky Dave shares touching stories about celebrating a fellow modeler's retirement and another's first home purchase—reminders that our "model sphere" extends far beyond the workbench.We dive into a thought-provoking discussion about modeling legacies after helping liquidate a deceased modeler's extensive collection. This sobering experience prompts us to consider: what happens to all our carefully accumulated kits, books, and supplies when we're gone? Many modelers face the reality of needing to "thin their stash" not just for space, but as an act of consideration for those who might inherit our collections.Listener mail brings fascinating questions about AI-generated 3D printable figures, naval catapults, and whether competition is necessary to be recognized as a skilled modeler. We tackle these queries with honest perspectives gained from years in the community—acknowledging that contests motivate some builders while others find fulfillment simply in the creative process itself.Our Shop Talk segment focuses on plans for skill improvement, from mastering the zen-like flow of efficient decaling to challenging ourselves with entirely new modeling subjects. We also share our candid thoughts on frustrating model companies that should know better (looking at you, Hasegawa and Bronco) before closing with exciting new kit announcements that have us eager to clear space in our already overflowing stashes.Whether you're just starting your modeling journey or have decades at the bench, this episode reminds us that beneath the plastic and paint lies the true value of our hobby—the community we build together.

In this Power Producers Podcast episode, David Carothers is joined again by Kevin Ring, lead analyst at the Institute of Work Comp Professionals. In this Shop Talk session, they take a deep dive into the crucial topic of the valuation date and its significance in workers' compensation policies. While last week's discussion highlighted the importance of leading with workers' compensation, this episode shifts gears to discuss why understanding the valuation date is vital for businesses. David and Kevin unpack the complexities of the valuation date—what it means, why it matters, and how it can impact a company's experience mod. Kevin shares expert insights into how this date plays a central role in determining a company's future workers' compensation premiums and why it's essential to monitor open claims carefully. Key Highlights: What is the Valuation Date? Kevin explains that the valuation date is when insurers submit crucial data to the Rating Bureau, affecting a company's experience mod and future premiums. Impact of Open Claims Kevin discusses how open claims, even with high reserves, impact the experience mod just as much as settled claims. Timing of the Valuation Date The valuation date occurs 18 months after policy inception. Kevin highlights how policy changes affect this timing. Managing Claims for the Valuation Date Kevin emphasizes the importance of tracking open claims early and working with adjusters to ensure accurate reserve updates. Dividends and Profit Sharing Understanding the valuation date can impact eligibility for dividend programs and profit sharing, boosting business benefits. Agent's Role in Claims David advises agents to be proactive in managing claims, educate clients, and collaborate with adjusters for better outcomes.

What would your ideal modeling workspace look like? It's the question that haunts modelers everywhere as we struggle with overflowing stashes, cluttered benches, and the constant shuffle of moving one project to make room for another. In this episode, we welcome back Panzermeister36 (Evan McCallum) to explore the challenges of creating and maintaining an organized modeling environment.Evan kicks things off with a fascinating firsthand account of his recent trip to the Moson Show in Hungary, where world-class models and unique vendor offerings provided substantial inspiration—and temptation for the wallet. His description of models stacked three deep on display tables, manufacturers offering their own products as awards, and the international camaraderie paints a picture of one of Europe's premier modeling events that might just find its way onto your modeling bucket list.The heart of our discussion centers on decluttering and organizing the modeling life. We tackle the Marie Kondo-inspired question of whether each item in your stash truly "brings modeling joy," explore digital organization systems like ScaleMates to prevent duplicate purchases, and share our visions for perfect workspace configurations. From Dave's quest to rehome books to Mike's plans for custom shelving systems to Evan's apartment-based challenges, we uncover both the universal struggles and personal solutions that shape our hobby spaces.Perhaps most telling is the moment when Evan asks whether better organization will actually solve our problems or if "the mess will just expand to match the workspace."
