 With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   In This Episode: You know that shop down the street that always seems to be doing well? The one that looks calm, confident, and steady while everyone else feels frantic? In this Season 6 kickoff episode of Creative Shop Talk, I'm pulling back the curtain on what's actually happening behind the scenes and sharing my 7 predictions for what independent retailers need to focus on in 2026 if they want a business that lasts. This episode is not about doing more. It's about focusing on what matters. We're talking about building a brand that means something, understanding profit instead of just chasing sales, making smarter inventory decisions, designing intentional customer experiences, building systems that don't rely on you, stepping fully into your CEO role, and defining success in a way that includes your life, not just your revenue. If you're an established shop owner who wants sustainability, clarity, and momentum going into 2026, this episode will help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters. Key Takeaways A real brand is built on trust, standards, and consistency, not just visuals. Sales don't equal profit. You need clarity on what actually drives profit. The strongest decisions come from a blend of intuition, experience, and data. Inventory is working capital, not decor. You're not competing with Amazon. You're competing with indifference. If your business can't function without you, you've built a job, not a company. CEO-level leadership brings calm, clarity, and direction. A successful business that costs you your life is not success. 7 Focus Areas in Your Retail Biz in 2026: 1. Build a brand that actually means something. Your brand is the promise you keep. Standards, consistency, and trust matter more than aesthetics. 2. Get real profit clarity. Revenue can look impressive while profit quietly disappears. Understand margins and true profit drivers. 3. Treat inventory like the asset it is. Inventory is cash tied up on your shelves. Buy intentionally and review performance regularly. 4. Design the customer experience on purpose. Experience is strategy. Every touchpoint should be intentional. 5. Build systems that don't rely on you. If everything funnels through you, growth stalls. Systems create leverage. 6. Step fully into your CEO role. CEO leadership means direction, standards, and decision-making, not people-pleasing. 7. Define success in a way that includes your life. Start with the life you want, then build the business to support it.   "Your business should support your life. That's not indulgent. It's intelligent." -Wendy Batten   Related podcasts we think you'll like:  Episode 118: How To Create Loyalty and Amazing Customer Experiences with Guest Expert & Author: Shep Hyken Episode 243: Behind the Counter: Creating Customer Joy in Retail with Kim Williams of The Polka Dot Press Episode 274: Is Your Customer Journey Map Working?

2025 is a wrap! Before we rush into 2026 chasing new numbers and new growth, it is crucial to pause and take a true "inventory of success." In this final episode of the year on Talkin' Shop, Brandon and Nick revisit the highs and lows of 2025. Success isn't just about where you end up on December 31st; it's about what you endured, what you learned, and how you choose to move forward.

Plus, we cover some hard lessons learned (including a historic fantasy football collapse), answer viewer questions about ShopSabre pricing and tech support, and break down the new "Rotation Feature" on Saber Nation University that's saving backs in the shop.

As we wrap up 2025, it seems like everywhere you look, it's all about reflection journals, vision boards, 90-day planners, and goal-setting frameworks. If you're feeling absolutely nothing (or, let's be real, maybe a little guilty it's not working for you), I'm right there with you. So, instead of one more system to make you feel “less than,” I'm serving something totally different—a simple, honest inventory. Just three lists: Energy, Money, Time. Here's the breakdown:Energy InventoryWhat gave you energy this year? What absolutely drained you—even if it was profitable or “successful”?Which tasks, clients, or projects left you jazzed up… and which made you want to flee the building?Notice the patterns. Pattern recognition tends to be a skill that ADHD brains excel at.Money InventoryWhat actually made you money, versus what you thought should make you money?Which offers did people really buy? Where did revenue flow in from? What's gathering dust (subscriptions, courses, tech) in your digital library?If most of your money came from one thing, but you spent all your time on everything else—this is info, not failure.Time InventoryWhen did you do your best work? Was it in performance windows that don't match “normal” business hours?Was your magic at 10 pm in the car, Friday mornings, or after a walk or shower?This is about gathering intelligence, not shaming yourself. Design your days around your actual brain, not someone else's ideal.Subtraction is StrategyEvery time I let go of what wasn't working, the good stuff got even better. So maybe your “stop doing” list is more important than any “to-do” list. Eliminate the clients, offers, or systems that drain you, no matter how much they pay. Permission granted to not start that newsletter, podcast, or YouTube channel you've been “planning” for two years.Final step:Commit to ONE thing that's already working and carry it forward. Whether it's sticking to your creative window or leaning into your night owl energy, just one thing that fits your brain. For me, it's this podcast. No pressure, no massive goals, no breakthroughs required. 2026 is happening no matter what. Go in knowing what energizes, pays, and fits your unique brain—and that's your built-in advantage.Mic Drop Moment:“We're great at building these complex offers that we think people want. We spend months perfecting the positioning, creating the fancy framework, building out the whole fricking thing.

#674: Welcome to Greatest Hits Week – five days, five episodes from our vault, spelling out F-I-I-R-E. Today's letter R stands for Real Estate. This episode originally aired in May 2022, but the insights on long-distance investing remain just as relevant for anyone feeling priced out of their local market. We tackle the five biggest challenges of investing far from home – from fear of the unknown to managing contractors remotely – and reveal four compelling benefits that make it worth the effort, especially when you're competing in markets where million-dollar properties are the norm. ________ Remember when inflation was high and rates were rising? What were people saying about real estate back then? And with the benefit of hindsight, how much of what we thought at the time proved to be correct? If you feel unsettled, join the club. At this present moment – December 2025 – interest rates are falling, but not enough. Inflation is mostly under control, but not enough. The noise makes everything feel new. When you only see the present moment, everything looks obvious. When you remember the past, patterns start to show. That's why we're rewinding the clock back to May 2022 – when interest rates were rising and inflation was near its peak. So what was on our mind three years ago? We start with the basics. Why the Federal Reserve raises rates. What higher borrowing costs do to spending. Why falling stock prices often reflect fear – not proof that housing prices must fall next. We explain the difference between recession and deflation, and why the two are often confused. We walk through what made the housing market in 2022 different from 2008. Inventory was tight. Builders had not overbuilt. Many homeowners held fixed-rate mortgages and record levels of equity. Those conditions mattered then. They still matter now. That equity becomes the next focus. We talk about cash-out refinances, HELOCs, and reverse mortgages – and what happens when homeowners borrow against rising values. You hear how higher rates can slow borrowing, why that matters for inflation, and what risks appear if some borrowers struggle to repay. From there, we outline four ways investors might encounter properties if foreclosures rise: bank-owned homes, short sales, “subject to” deals, and wraparound mortgages. The episode then shifts to long-distance real estate investing. You hear the real challenges. Fear of the unknown. Managing people you cannot see. Contractors who disappear. Agents who stop returning calls. You also hear what makes distance workable: education, relationships, local investor networks. We walk through how investors think when conditions feel unstable — and why looking backward sharpens how you see what comes next.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Dr. Melanie Gray to talk about the hidden cost of being “fine on paper.” High performers. Caregivers. Leaders. People everyone leans on. The big idea is simple. If your nervous system is stuck in survival mode then your success starts feeling like burnout. Dr. Melanie breaks down how trauma responses can disguise themselves as personality traits like perfectionism, people pleasing, shutdown, and overcontrol. You will also hear her STOP-IT framework for moving from reaction to regulation. It is practical. It is leadership-ready. It is built for real life, not wellness fantasy. If you are trying to “fix everything” at once, this conversation will help you zoom out, scan what is working, tell yourself the truth, and make a clean pivot toward sustainable performance, better relationships, and calmer decision-making. About the Guest: Dr. Melanie Gray is a registered nurse, educator, and wellness strategist with 20+ years in healthcare leadership and higher education. She is known for her work in trauma-informed leadership, burnout prevention, and workplace wellness. She is the founder of Melanie Gray Solutions and the author of Regulate First, Lead Second: Master Your Biology, Transform Your Leadership. Key Takeaways: High functioning is not the same as healthy. If you are snapping at people, skipping family time, or feeling constant gut-level stress, your nervous system is waving a red flag. Separate identity from survival. Some behaviors helped you rise, but you still get to choose when to put the brakes on and pivot. Use the STOP-IT framework. Scan your whole life. Tell yourself the truth. Own your yes and no. Prioritize the pivot. Be intentional. Commit to transformation. In a stressful moment, regulate first. Breathe. Unclench. Move your body. Buy time. You do not owe instant responses to emails or people. Boundaries are leadership. You teach people how to treat you by what you tolerate and how quickly you react. Inventory beats hustle. Write down what stress is costing you in relationships, health, energy, and integrity. Then decide what you want to be known for. Empower your team. Stop being the bottleneck. Let smart people be smart. Collaboration reduces overwhelm and upgrades culture. Trauma-informed self-leadership at work means empathy, inclusion, and making space for quieter voices. Quiet does not mean less capable. A 7-day reset works. One STOP-IT moment daily. One small keystone habit. Consistency over perfection.

In this episode of The Daily, we explore the rising cost of rigidity as new regulations and market shifts challenge supply chain agility. We analyze how the FRA caps non-English rail crews at 10-mile border zone to create cross-border capacity bottlenecks and discuss New legislation could upend truck broker margins by imposing steep surcharges on carriers with safety violations. Shippers face a difficult balancing act as Inventory management strategy shifts once again toward leaner models, potentially risking stockouts if demand spikes in 2026. Meanwhile, ocean carriers are adopting split strategies, with significant Ocean rates as the New Year promises a good ‘blanking' for US East Coast, driving up rates while West Coast capacity expands. In the equipment sector, REPOWR's data shows it cost more in ‘25 for a short-term dry van rental despite a weak market, driven largely by tighter network security efforts. Finally, we look at the Canada Post, mail carriers tentatively agree on labor deal, which secures weekend delivery but locks in operational rigidity by rejecting dynamic routing. We also briefly touch on the STB asks comments on ‘completeness' of rail merger application as regulators review the 7,000-page document regarding the UP-NS deal. This regulatory scrutiny adds another layer of complexity to an industry already grappling with rapid structural changes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this Home Buyer Crash Course, I break down what today's Northern Colorado buyers actually need to know before purchasing a home.I cover current market conditions in late 2025, how much buyers can realistically negotiate, inventory levels in Larimer and Weld County, and what's changed over the last several years. I also explain common mortgage mistakes, how to think about market “crash” fears, and why timing the market often backfires.We dive deep into pricing strategy, inspections and due diligence, real estate commissions, and how to structure a deal that protects you long-term — whether you're a first-time buyer or have purchased multiple homes before.Topics include:• How much you can negotiate off list price right now• Inventory levels & days on market in Northern Colorado• Market crash fears vs real historical data• Mortgage pre-approval mistakes to avoid• Down payments, PMI, closing costs, and rate strategies• Inspections, due diligence & hidden risks buyers miss• Real estate commissions — what changed and what didn't• Why “time in the market” matters more than timing the market

“How's the market?” is the most common real estate question — and the real answer is: it depends. In this episode of Tom's Take, I break down November housing data across the Greater Philadelphia area, including Philadelphia, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and surrounding counties. We cover inventory growth, pricing trends, days on market, mortgage rates, and what buyers and sellers should be doing now to prepare for smart moves in 2026.

BNSF CEO: Rail merger still a “significant threat” to economy, consumers covers the intensifying opposition to the proposed Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern merger, as rival BNSF warns of potential service failures and higher rates. CEO Katie Farmer argues that the deal fails to meet regulatory requirements and offers public benefits that could otherwise be achieved through simple collaboration. We also analyze the "Chart of the Week" in Inventory management strategy shifts once again, which highlights a move toward leaner inventories after periods of over-ordering and destocking. This strategy increases the value of agile transportation services but carries the risk of missed revenue opportunities if demand suddenly spikes. Finally, we look at a discrimination lawsuit in Judge denies summary judgment in deaf driver applicant's rejection, where a federal judge ruled that a case against Wilson Logistics will proceed to trial or settlement. The suit alleges the company illegally refused to hire a qualified deaf driver who held a valid federal hearing exemption. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Meet Lot GPT: Dealer AI, Done Right  Ever wonder what happens when automotive tech veterans build an AI just for dealers? Meet Lance Schafer, GM of Product and Tech at Lotlinx and the brains behind Lot GPT. This isn't your everyday chatbot. Lot GPT analyzes inventory, predicts which cars will sell and when, optimizes vehicle pages, and even drafts follow-up messages. All using 12 years of dealer data and insights from 28,000 dealerships. The catch? It's invite-only for now. Why? Because Lotlinx is taking their time to deliver tools dealers actually want, test them with real users, and make sure every feature adds value before a broad release.  If you're serious about staying ahead in automotive AI, you need to get on the waitlist for Lot GPT.  Join the waitlist at lotlinks.com/lotgpt Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki Podcast |

What if you could improve inventory accuracy without scanners, fancy tech, or extra staff—just smart cycle counts and creative teamwork? On this Season 16 finale of Power Supply, we're joined by Kimberly Alexander, Director of Materials and Purchasing at Huggins Hospital, for a look at how critical access hospitals can master annual inventory with limited resources. From managing unlocked storerooms on the honor system to coordinating manual cycle counts with lean teams and spreadsheets, Kimberly shows how limited resources don't have to mean limited results. She also addresses the unique challenges of critical access: weekend coverage gaps, seasonal demand swings, and wearing multiple hats across purchasing, receiving, and delivery. Whether you're preparing for annual inventory in your critical access hospital or wondering how to do more with less, this conversation delivers real lessons from someone making it work!

Google just stepped into the portal wars… and it might be the most dangerous player yet. Episode 345: The Annual Prediction Special (and the LAST show of the year). We're doing the most satisfying (and brutal) thing possible: - We pull up our 2024 predictions and grade them LIVE Were we right… or dead wrong?  - Then we go on the record with 2026 predictions Rates. Prices. Inventory. Buyer demand. New construction. Investors. Chaos. The headline that changes everything: "GOOGLE is testing "home listings" inside search." So let's ask the scary questions out loud: - Will Google Home Listings end Zillow… or end agents? - If listings live in Google, who owns the consumer?  - Does this become the new "front door" to real estate… or just another ad product? (And yes, we'll talk about what we actually know so far: it's a test, currently seen on mobile in select markets, with built-in "request a tour / contact an agent" style actions.) If you want to know what housing looks like next year, show up tonight and plant your flag. Because next year… we're reviewing the receipts again.

Brighter Futures: Making 2026 Better Than 2025 Podcast Description In the final episode of 2025, Duane and Allie get real about what it takes to set yourself—and your martial arts school—up for a brighter, better new year. They reflect on big wins, tough lessons, and how to keep the fire burning after decades in the business. This is a candid, hopeful conversation about letting go of what doesn't serve you, doubling down on what matters, and building a future that's easy, lucrative, and fun (ELF). Key Takeaways Make Your Future Brighter Than Your Past: Don't get stuck reminiscing or complaining—use your experience to fuel positive change for 2026. The ELF vs. HALF Framework: Aim for a business that's Easy, Lucrative, and Fun—not Hard, Annoying, Lame, and Frustrating. Motivation & Burnout: Staying inspired as an owner takes real connection with students, families, and your own “why.” Inventory & Elimination: Take stock of your systems, automations, and routines. Delegate, automate, or delete what no longer serves you. Retention Over Replacement: Don't just chase new leads—focus on deeper connections, leadership development, and community-building. Action Management: You can't control time, but you can manage your actions and energy. Action Steps for School Owners Reflect on 2025: What worked? What didn't? What will you leave behind? Set Clear Goals for 2026: What do you want to start, stop, or double down on? Apply the ELF Test: Is every process, program, or promotion easy, lucrative, and fun? If not, can you fix it or let it go? Reconnect with Your “Why”: Find fresh inspiration in student breakthroughs, family connections, and your own growth. Streamline Communication: Use tech and AI to connect, but avoid white noise—make every touchpoint matter. Empower Your Team: Delegate, automate, and build leaders so you can focus on what only you can do.

Specialty retailers keep asking us: handheld scanners or overhead readers? So we settled it the only way we know how: with a knockdown, dragout debate between two RFID experts. In this Retail Technology Spotlight, Anne Mezzenga moderates as Madalynn Lauria (Team Handheld) and Pareiya Gupta (Team Overhead) from GreyOrange make their cases for the best RFID solution. From proving ROI on a tight budget to cutting inventory counts from hours to minutes, this conversation tackles the real questions retailers are wrestling with as they decide how to track inventory in 2026. The verdict? It's not as simple as picking a side. Whether you're testing RFID for the first time or scaling across hundreds of stores, the right answer depends on your velocity, your budget, and what you're actually trying to solve. But one thing's clear: manual counts and mystery stockrooms aren't going to cut it anymore. Key Topics covered: • How to test RFID with minimal budget and staff • Cutting inventory counts from hours to under 20 minutes • Why some retailers are going hybrid (overhead + handheld) • Real-time shrink visibility and where product actually disappears • Tracking TikTok trends and moving inventory between stores in hours • The smart fitting room problem nobody talks about Music by hooksounds.com *Sponsored Content* #RFID #retailtech #inventorymanagement #omnitalk #retailinnovation #smartretail #retailpodcast #omnichannelretail #retailoperations #supplychain
