Suppose you polled therapists and asked them what the most controversial diagnosis is in the current version of the DSM. Many of us would likely say Borderline Personality Disorder, and it would certainly be in almost everybody's top three.I've been wanting to do an episode on BPD for a bit because there is something about this controversial diagnosis that allows us to explore the challenging and consequential nature of psychiatric diagnosis itself.To guide us in this exploration, I've had the privilege of inviting Dr. Awais Aftab, a leading authority in the field. His extensive work on philosophical, ethical, and scientific issues related to diagnosis makes him the perfect person to delve into this complex topic with. Awais Aftab, MD, is a psychiatrist in Cleveland, Ohio, and Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University. He led the interview series "Conversations in Critical Psychiatry" for Psychiatric Times, which explores critical and philosophical perspectives in psychiatry, with a book adaptation forthcoming from Oxford University Press. He is a senior editor for Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology and has been actively involved in initiatives to educate psychiatrists and trainees on conceptual and critical issues. He blogs at Psychiatry at the Margins.In the conversation, we dig into whether Borderline Personality Disorder is “real” and what that means, how it relates to the philosophical concept of epistemic injustice, how context influences the utility of a diagnosis, and more.Listen to the full episode to hear:How treatment of people diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder frequently illustrates aspects of epistemic injustice/justiceThe ways that clinical setting and context influence the use, or misuse, of BPD as a diagnostic label and how that impacts patientsHow quantitative psychology is influencing how we conceptualize personality disordersWhy a BPD diagnosis can be intensely valuable for some clients, and how it helps guide cliniciansWhy we can't chalk up all psychopathology to traumaHow calls for testimonial justice from psychiatric patients should serve as a corrective force to excessive skepticism of patient narrativesLearn more about Dr. Awais Aftab:Psychiatry at the MarginsX: @awaisaftabLearn more about Riva Stoudt:Into the Woods CounselingThe Kiln SchoolInstagram: @atherapistcantsaythatResources:Borderline Personality and Self-Understanding of PsychopathologyEpistemic injusticeThe epistemic injustice of borderline personality disorder,  Jay Watts, BJPsych InternationalA Metaphysics of Psychopathology, Peter ZacharPeter Fonagy

CRISPER biotechnology, an acronym for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, took the expensive and complicated world of gene editing and transformed it into a more accessible field. Born out of the ongoing war between bacteria and viruses, CRISPR scientists discovered a bacterial defense mechanism built around identifying and splicing genetic information in viruses and transformed that bacterial defense into a tool that promises medical miracles, cures, and the ability to edit DNA in areas as diverse as food production and curing cancer. Some worry intellectual and scientific advancement threatens to be divisive by nature if treatment costs and not medical need determines who receives care. The promise of CRISPR, like all medical treatments, comes with built in risks. Copying and editing errors may be a source of mild embarrassment for those who trade in the written word, but so called off target edits in our genetic makeup could have devastating consequences. How do Christians spiritually navigate a world advancing aggressively in the ability to alter the building blocks of life, for good or bad, in areas like CRIPSR research? An apparent lack of consideration for early human life fosters a distrust for the scientific community within many people who identify themselves as Evangelicals. This frustration will not deter advancement. It is incumbent on Christians to reflect deeply on what it means to be a human being in an age where some scientists actively seek to fundamentally alter the human experience or even leave it behind altogether.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with JOURNAL author Jay Watts about his online article, “CRISPR, Cures, and the New World of Gene Editing”.

Are you interested in exploring the often-overlooked connection between Autism and BPD/EUPD? In this episode, Dr. Jay Watts and I dive deep into the topic, discussing the reasons why women and AFAB individuals are less likely to be diagnosed with autism and exploring common autistic traits that are missed in women.Listeners will gain insight into the coping strategies of autistic "masking" and "camouflaging" that are often missed in women and girls, as well as the characteristic "special interests" of women with autism. Together, we also unpack the harmful stigma that arises from the BPD/EUPD labels and how people with these labels are stigmatized in psychiatric settings.Recent events, such as the reversal of the decision to remove BPD and EUPD labels from the ICD-10 due to issues with the American insurance systems, highlight the urgent need for a more nuanced understanding of psychiatric labels. We explore how BPD and cPTSD traits are rooted in trauma and touch on the chronic feelings of emptiness and suicidality experienced by individuals with these labels.Finally, we delve into the potentially harmful effects of DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) and the importance of informed consent in psychiatric treatment when it comes to treatment modalities and psychiatric medications.Join Dr. Watts and me as we unpack the complex intersections of Autism and BPD/EUPD and challenge the stigma surrounding psychiatric labels.ABOUT OUR GUESTDr. Jay Watts is a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, senior lecturer, and dedicated mental health activist working in London.

On June 24, 2022, The Supreme Court of the United States released the Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, ending Roe v Wade's nearly 50-year legal hegemony over the issue of abortion throughout the U.S. Pro-life advocates, many who had been active fighting to overturn Roe their entire adult lives, celebrated hoping the tide had turned as our nation moved toward a future without abortion. Abortion rights advocates mourned the ruling as an attack on their rights and warned the American public of the coming of abortion deserts where women would be forced to travel across the barren wasteland of abortion-free states to find access to what they believe is essential healthcare. It would be premature to pass a verdict on the premonitions of either side. Nothing like the hopes or fears of the most passionate advocates materialized, but the landscape of abortion law changed. Both sides pushed advantages in states deemed politically friendly to their causes producing some surprising results. The pro-life community faced unexpected challenges as abortion rights advocates enjoyed multiple victories establishing constitutional rights to abortion in new states while turning back efforts to restrict abortion in others. Federal efforts by the Democrats to reestablish national laws through the U.S. Congress failed, and neither side is happy with their progress. At the same time, uncompromising voices are finding new strength. Abortion advocates expressed strong dissatisfaction with the foundations of the Roe decision and see this moment as an opportunity to reset the dialogue with language more fitting the absolute rights to autonomy they seek. Some anti-abortion advocates counter this by introducing Equal Protection legislation at the state level, pressing the moment to move our judicial system toward holding women who procure abortions accountable in the same manner we would any other individual who intentionally killed a human life. Abortion is murder, they reason, therefore those guilty of abortion ought to be treated in the same manner. The extreme representatives of both sides raise the stakes as a population divided and less certain of their position on abortion seeks to sort out a new legal approach to an issue recently assumed to be settled law.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with JOURNAL author Jay Watts about his online-exclusive article, "Life After Roe: A Follow Up".

Now that Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022, what's next for the pro-life movement? This episode of the Postmodern Realities Podcast is a very deep dive into issues now being raised in a post-Roe climate with Journal author Jay Watts. More will also be discussed in an article in the future 45:02/03 edition of the Christian Research Journal to be released later this year.

Casey and even Gonzales v. Carhart? What about Justice Alito's claim in his majority opinion that the history in Roe was bad history? What about the Palko test—how does that figure into the new legal decision? How do Christians answer the claim women will die as a result of this decision? There have been some who claim this decision violates their own religious freedom, how should the Christian apologist respond to this claim that allowing laws against this procedure violates the religious freedom of others? Another common claim is that we are now embarrassingly out of step with the rest of the world by curtailing women's rights to this procedure as other countries expand them. Is the U.S. out of step? There is a claim this is just the beginning of the attack on personal freedoms and introducing all-new intrusions into citizens' private lives. Should we be concerned about new governmental invasions of our privacy to police medical choices and are other rights at risk? A group calling themselves Jane's Revenge has promised to attack pro-life groups—what have they done to this point? What does the pro-life movement look like going forward in a Post Roe world? And finally, what does the Bible have to say about the value of human life?When you to subscribe to the Journal, you join the team of print subscribers whose paid subscriptions help provide the resources at equip.org that minister to people worldwide.

On May 2, 2022, the website Poltico posted a story attributed to Josh Gerstein and Alexander Ward sharing a leaked first draft of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) majority opinion on Dobbs vs Jackson Women's Health Organization addressing the constitutionality of a Mississippi law restricting abortion after the 15th week of pregnancy. The majority opinion draft, authored by Associate Justice Samuel Alito, overturned Roe v Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v Casey (1992), releasing the stranglehold the judicial branch has held over abortion and sending the issues to the individual states to settle the abortion laws within their borders through local democratic efforts and elections. Chief Justice John Roberts almost immediately verified the document's authenticity announcing the breach in secrecy which generally surround the deliberations of the Supreme Court would be met by an internal investigation. The draft and the decision were real. The outcry from both sides of the issue was immediate and intense. Most of the loudest objections to the draft center on emotional appeals and anecdotal testimonies about women who need abortions and will be forced to compromise their safety and freedom to carry an unwanted child to term. The idea that Roe v Wade will be overturned produced a wave of fear, anger, and anti-religious vitriol. How could 50 years of legal precedent defending Roe suddenly be swept aside?This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversion with JOURNAL author Jay Watts about the leaked SCOTUS opinion in Dobbs vs Jackson Women's Health Organization and about his online-exclusive article, “The Leaked Draft: Is this the Fall of Roe v.

The New York Times recently published an opinion essay from Mary Zigler, Florida State University law professor and author of Abortion and the Law in America: Roe v. Wade to the Present, titled, “Anti-Abortion Groups Once Portrayed Women as Victims. That's Changing.” Ziegler claims that opponents of legal abortion have gravitated away from offering legislation grounded in arguments framing women as additional victims of abortion. Reasoning from that claim, Ziegler believes that conservative state legislators introducing more aggressive abortion restrictions signals that women seeking abortions, no longer idealized by abortion opponents, will become the focus of aggressive prosecutions should Roe v Wade and Planned Parenthood v Casey be overturned with the Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization decision expected from the Supreme Court this summer.This Postmodern Realities episode is an in-depth conversation with Journal contributor Jay Watts about Ziegler's claims and about his accompanying online-exclusive article, “What Attorney Mary Ziegler Gets Wrong About Pro-Life Tactics“. https://www.equip.org/article/what-attorney-mary-ziegler-gets-wrong-about-pro-life-tactics/Locked articles are online exclusive content that are only available to subscribers.

In a recent New York Times editorial entitled The Anti-Abortion Movement Could Reduce Abortions if It Wanted To, lawyer and journalist Jill Filipovic makes the case that an unhealthy preoccupation with birth control at the expense of limiting abortions exposes some ugly truths about the pro-life movement. According to Filipovic, pro-lifers are more interested in controlling women's bodies than they are in pursuing measures that reduce the number of abortions, those measures being free access to long-term contraception and comprehensive sex education. Filipovic characterizes “many” pro-life individuals as mistakenly believing that contraception causes an abortion. These same people work to deny access to sex education and family planning, preventing the most vulnerable members of society, those most likely to experience unplanned pregnancies and seek abortions, the ability to use the most effective forms of contraception. The editorial is an oddly argued ad hominem attack. She condemns the prolife movement for not doing things to limit the number of abortions, which she believes are a fundamental right for all women and a good thing she has no interest in limiting. In an amazing coincidence, the measures most likely to serve the pro-life cause of reducing abortion happen to line up with the author's own agenda for free contraception and progressive ideas on sex education. At our best, the pro-life community champions a clear message. Every human being ought to be treated with dignity and respect. Human beings are the imago Dei, the image-bearers of God. The embryonic and fetal humans are one of us and establishing a culture that protects their lives is better for us all. It elevates us to see the most vulnerable members in our community as worthy of our personal sacrifice. It gathers the community to seek creative solutions to life's most difficult problems rather than seeking a minimally disruptive path that destroys human lives deemed inconvenient. The benefits of a clear and passionate call to respect life are obvious. If we can become convinced to love our neighbor as we love ourselves, the change will immediately protect those most at risk, the unborn, but also those who would destroy the unborn out of fear or selfishness. We endeavor to end abortion because any amount of abortion in our community hurts us all.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Jay Watts about his online-exclusive article, “Filipovic's Confused Claim that the Pro-Life Community Must Champion Contraception”.https://www.equip.org/article/filipovics-confused-claim-that-the-pro-life-community-must-champion-contraception/Locked articles are online exclusive content that are only available to subscribers.

Low VOC products are not all alike, It's understandable that the claims of low VOCs (volatile organic compounds) or no VOCs can become confusing. VOCs are only one component of a coating – every ingredient must be evaluated for its effect on your health. We dive into paint with Jay Watts from AFM Safecoat. Everyone agrees a new coat adds life to any project. But is it worth the odor? One whiff of paint, primer, varnish, stain or other like-products can bring on a range of conditions from mild nasal irritation, headaches and nausea to serious respiratory issues. Personal sensitivities vary and many simply do their best to ignore the odor. AFM products are continually reformulated to virtually eliminate physical afflictions caused by conventional coatings. Many people suffer with severe allergies, chemical sensitivities, respiratory issues and other complications that make using conventional products intolerable. We talk with VP and Technical Director Jay Watts from AFM Safecoat in this episode of Around the House.

In today's episode, sponsored by Athletic Greens, I want to talk about borderline personality disorder, but in a different way than I have before on SelfWork.  I've mostly written about what it's like to try to love someone with a serious personality disorder, like narcissism or borderline personality disorders. But today, I want to talk about what it's like to have borderline traits – and the fears and struggles that come with it. I"ll use two women's stories from my own practice and the work of Rosie Cappuccino, author of Talking About BPD. We'll touch on the differences between borderline and bipolar disorders, and also discuss how the diagnosis of borderline can bring with it judgment from not only the general public, but from the mental health profession. The listener voicemail for today comes from a woman who describes that she has a wonderful life – and that she's troubled or haunted or saddened or feels guilty (that's a little unclear) for not loving her mother. And frankly, not even liking her. We'll talk about her question – and I'll try to answer as best I can. Important Links: Rosie Cappucino's  book on having borderline issues.

If you're remodeling or renovating an existing home, or building a new house, you DON'T want to miss this show. Our guest, Jay Watts, has been the VP for technical services and special projects at AFM Safecoat (the leading provider of environmentally responsible, sustainable, and non-polluting paints, stains, wood finishes, sealers, adhesives, and related green building products) since 1994. AFM has been providing 100 percent toxicity-free multi-surface solutions for over 40 years. Today, we're going beyond volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and digging deep into the chemical toxins present in today's paints, primers, and other building products including solvents, heavy metals, chemical residuals, carcinogens, and other harmful preservatives. Jay explains the difference between an MSDS and an SDS is and who it really benefits. Jay leaves us with tips on hiring and engaging contractors, the difference between low and zero VOC, the importance of product sampling, and he reveals the biggest sources of pollution in our homes.

In the New York Times (NYT) opinion piece, “Miscarriages Are Awful, and Abortion Politics Make Them Worse,” abortion rights advocates Amanda Allen and Cari Siestra make the case that politically motivated abortion laws deny women facing miscarriages the best possible care.1 Both authors share tragic personal experiences with miscarriage and how their dread of walking through abortion opponents protesting Planned Parenthood clinics led them to forgo surgical options. Both authors contend the ideal option was forbidden for reasons that have nothing to do with medical care. The drug mifepristone is commonly referred to as RU-486, and in cooperation with misoprostol, it is the exact same drug combination currently used to facilitate abortion in most early pregnancies in the United States. The authors contend these policies place women facing a tragedy in the crosshairs of a battle unrelated to their circumstances. Rather than equipping women with the most effective means to expel the lifeless contents of their uterus, these women are sent home with only misoprostol. The result is a higher risk process of expulsion that will be more painful, last longer, and carry a greater risk of needing further medical attention. If anyone deserves the best care possible, it is women and families facing miscarriage. They deserve better than to have their suffering increased due to intrusive laws. This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Jay Watts unpack their arguments through a biblical pro-life lens and about his online-exclusive article, “Do Abortion Politics Hurt Women Enduring Miscarriage?” https://www.equip.org/article/do-abortion-politics-hurt-women-enduring-miscarriage/Please note this article will be fully accessible by the public in the future, to get early access to read it now, please see our FAQ section on Early Access to Online-Exclusive Articles by clicking here. https://www.equip.org/early-access-to-online-exclusive-articles-faqs/We'd also like to invite you to subscribe to the Journal.

05/10/2021 - Jay Watts - Founder of Merely Human Ministries, with concerns about the recent combining of human and monkey cells in embryos

To date, nearly 2.9 million people have died worldwide in the Covid-19 pandemic. The global economy struggled while nations enacted stay-at-home orders, and our politics fractured under the weight of heated disagreements. Illness, travel restrictions, and protective hospital protocols separated loved ones in the time we needed each other the most. Reports of depression and suicide dramatically increased among the younger members of the population, and no one's life remained untouched. This collective loss drove a massive effort by the United States government to create a program called Operation Warp Speed for the speedy development and manufacturing of vaccines for COVID-19. Within a year, Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson all developed vaccines capable of providing protection from the most severe symptoms of Covid-19, welcome news for members of communities disproportionately impacted including the elderly, those living with underlying medical conditions, and certain minority communities. As the promise of vaccines generated new hope, a concern arose. All four approved vaccines used human fetal cells acquired through induced abortion somewhere in the development process.Can we trust the vaccines are safe given the rush to produce them? Are these vaccines safe? Did the production of the four Covid-19 vaccines include human fetal cells derived from elective abortions? Does taking the vaccine cooperate with evil? Does taking COVID vaccines appropriation rather than cooperation, enjoying the benefits from an act of moral evil while being negatively transformed through the omission of protests? This is a deep dive conversation about bioethics issues and the COIVD vaccine with writer Jay Watts.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Jay Watts about his online-exclusive viewpoint article, “Is it Ethical for Pro-Life Christians to Receive Covid-19 Vaccines?”. https://www.equip.org/article/is-it-ethical-for-pro-life-christians-to-receive-covid-19-vaccines/Starting in February 2021, all online-exclusive articles, have had a early access window for Journal subscribers only before being made public.

In May 2020 FX and Hulu released the documentary AKA Jane Roe promoting the deathbed confession of Norma McCorvey, the woman publicly known as the Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 legal decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States allows abortion to be legal. McCorvey allegedly confided to documentarian Nick Sweeney that her pro-life work, spanning more than two decades, was a lie. In her own words, “I took their money, and they put me out in front of the cameras and told me what to say, and that's what I'd say.” The story as reported casts a pall over her much-celebrated conversion to the pro-life community while affirming cynical views held by abortion supporters concerning the character of those who fight legal abortion. As far as the ethics of abortion, does McCorvey's judgment on abortion really matter?This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Jay Watts about his online-exclusive article, “Assessing the Confession of Norma McCorvey in AKA Jane Roe”. https://www.equip.org/article/assessing-the-confession-of-norma-mccorvey-in-aka-jane-roe/We'd also like to invite you to subscribe to the Journal.

Christians are not averse, in principle, to the concept of nonhuman persons. We attribute personhood to the Trinity and to angels, clearly nonhuman beings. We recognize, however, the danger that lies in attempts to elevate animals to our moral equals in the face of glaring evidence they could never operate as such. These efforts ultimately reduce us all to an undifferentiated mess.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Jay Watts about his article in volume 42, number 2 (2019), “Merely Human: The Problem of Recognizing Chimpanzees as Persons”. https://www.equip.org/article/merely-human-the-problem-of-recognizing-chimpanzees-as-persons/ Normally, we don't release print articles from last year online so quickly but due to the significance of topic we are making an exception.

Episode 199 of the Jason & Scot show was recorded on Thursday November 21st, 2019. Automated Transcription of the show Transcript Jason: [0:24] Welcome to the Jason and Scott show this is episode 199 being recorded on Wednesday November 20th 2019 I'm your host Jason retailgeek Goldberg and as usual I'm here with your compost Scott Wingo. Scot: [0:39] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason Scott show listeners, well that's pretty exciting times here it's November 20th we are about seven days away from Thanksgiving T minus 7 Days folks to Holiday kicks in some would argue it done right after Halloween but I like to think of it really kind of kicking off at Thanksgiving, Jason was kick-off I saw on Twitter Some Noise around the world's largest Starbucks where you the first person in there. Jason: [1:08] Sadly I was not a side note on Thanksgiving I've been training all week by eating pumpkin pies. Scot: [1:14] Nice already. Jason: [1:14] Getting ready. I think it's a rookie mistake to just go in the Thanksgiving cold without a good one. Scot: [1:21] If you been pumpkin spice latte into it as well. Jason: [1:25] I don't I stick with my classic ice cream key around I'm weird. I did try to get my classic iced drink at the world's largest Starbucks which opened on Friday. So a little less than a week ago in Chicago, and I struck out so I was out of town Friday I went there Saturday morning at 8 when the store scheduled to open and there was already an hour line waiting to get in. And I had families in toddler with me so I we had to abort in. Do a plan B so I'll have to go back and visit another time that kind of an impressive draw that it's drawing that kind of crab for a retail store open. Scot: [2:06] You think the world's largest could hold more people. Jason: [2:09] That was my promise I actually thought they would be popular but it would still be easy to get in because. It was on Michigan Avenue which is like the premier shopping location on in Chicago and this was formerly The Crate & Barrel flagship store, so it was a four-storey 40,000 square foot furniture store that they've converted into a Coffee Roastery. So my assumption was it could hold an awful lot of people but apparently they're still you were still sort of them dating how many people they let in. Scot: [2:40] Is this one of those doesn't really have much mobile order it's going to be a food concentration there's no venti takeaway cups all that kind of strangeness. Jason: [2:51] Semite so that the concept of this is called The Reserve Roastery I want to say it's the like this one. If I have this right the first one was in Seattle there's another one in New York this is the third one in the US there's one in Shanghai there's one in Italy on which is controversial, enter this is like the premiere Starbucks concept it was a pet project of the founder of Howard Schultz the founder of Starbucks. It does have all the regular stuff you could place a mobile order there you can get all your traditional drinks. But it has a lot more stuff so they roast beans there and if you go to any Starbucks anywhere in the world and you buy a reserve being the beans that come in the the black and gold Packaging. [3:37] I got roasted in one of these roasteries so they're so it is a commercial Roastery but then they have kind of a you know it's a it's a beautiful. Kind of handmade Roastery with all glass windows so you can watch them working and they have kind of a Willy Wonka set up where they have these, translucent vacuum tubes that lead from the Roasterie to all the coffee bars in the in the building and said the beans like, fly through the tubes over your head so you can watch the beans getting delivered for making coffee. Any of your classic drinks with a much wider variety of beans that make a bunch of other drinks that aren't typical they make a bunch of drinks mixed with alcohol that have ice cream that was stand-alone restaurant everything merchandising section, this is all based on the other roasteries I visited and I'm assuming that what we're going to see in the Rock somewhat localized so when I'm assuming we're going to see you soon. Cool architecture in some variation of all that in this the Chicago store will have to report on it after I physically get in one. Scot: [4:46] Awesome well I'm here at home in North Carolina and you are out in California at drink for so tell us what's going on at dreamforce. Jason: [4:57] Dreamforce has the annual trade show for salesforce.com sales force is based in San Francisco so this is kind of on their home turf and that I saw someone refer to this is a quite Big Show it's it's every hotel room in the city of. San Francisco sold out I think I saw that I was like 40,000 people are here attending it so they they call it Burning Man for people with jobs. Which I thought was pretty funny because there is a lot of like chocolate brand building entertainment experiences in addition to the sort of. Salesforce product experience is so that like really extravagant. White outdoor Forest that they built in they give away free expressos the forest has like. Like a redwood tree that you can drive through and you know all this kind of cool stuff and have a lot of celebrity speakers, show Emilia Clarke from Game of Thrones this year Megan Rapinoe dying from USA World Cup team this year, a Beckham the musical act is like Fleetwood Mac and then the the big headliner Tina I mean Tim Cook is speaking but the big headliner is Barack Obama speaking tomorrow so they get a lot of. Interesting to listen to people that are you know probably not talking about the marketing cloud. Scot: [6:23] Yeah and then so then they that they talked a lot about a lot of social kind of stuff obviously so that the CEO of Salesforce is really into that and then I usually wear like crazy shoes. Jason: [6:37] Yeah he likes a mark Billy off is a very Progressive CEO and he be like there's a lot of really good causes and so we highlight some of those, on the stage right he's built through hospitals in San Francisco and sponsored some public schools and things that are kind of cool but they do they have like they have content about helping people to, be more Mindful and they they have a whole exhibit full of actual monks that are helping people to meditate you know they have a lot of bad like Arianna Huffington talking about like. Trust and transparency and yeah I just I mean yeah she wouldn't go into the sweet thing but. Yesterday they have a lot of people talking about like their pet interest which are you know potentially interesting helpful lifestyle Tibbetts. But then they also do generally make some big product announcements at Salesforce and and so like. I'm not sure this is going to go down as the biggest year but there's some I guess I'm reasonably sized interesting new announcements. Scot: [7:46] How much of the show is there like a track for e-commerce and an of the you know they're there I guess they called the Commerce club now is that a thing or is it. Jason: [7:59] There is there so there's a there's a Commerce track Commerce is like integrated into the the Keynotes along with the other clouds but I will say. They're shifting a little bit more from products to rolls so, when they were product-based like the Commerce cloud is about e-commerce in the marketing cloud is about sending emails, and you know that they're kind of Shifting the content to be more roll bass content so it's a retailer or a b2c company and that that roll. Yeah would obviously you need Commerce and marketing cloud and CRM and customer success rights are there. I would say like they haven't completely transition there still are definitely some products and Trick Tracks and there's there's a stand-alone Commerce keynote for example as well as some. Dedicated Commerce content in the the main stage keynote but I do think I feel like it is Shifting more it won't surprise me if a couple years from now there's a retail track. Not accomplished you know that's a pretty reasonable thing to do. Scot: [9:07] What are the highlights of utena the show. Jason: [9:09] Yep so the a big one so one thing that like. Obviously is well known to you but you know very first Cloud companies so in fact when they launched the company they launched it at Oracle world and they they did like fake picketing outside of Oracle works at World saying like. Like free software you know and put it in the cloud and it was you know this whole like counterculture thing, and anyways I still feel like they are a really good example of the cloud like they, it took a lot of feedback on features from their customers and their customers can vote on the features they most want in every quarter they do a new release and you go to the home from work on Friday and you come back to work on Monday and suddenly you have all these new features, that where that features most requested by their customers and so that doesn't sound like rocket science but a lot of other Cloud companies I still think like. You're not getting the full advantage that you should from the cloud and so at the show what they tend to do is release some major new feature. It's free and instantly available to all the that users on the cloud so I can couple years ago they launched Einstein which was their AI module and it was, you know a free new thing for all their customers so this year they watch them a major new platform that's free to August and customers of customer 360 true. [10:32] I think they're starting to struggle with their naming conventions a little bit here. But that this is is interesting like I feel like this is very on-trend so it's a couple of, can a customer data features rolled into a meta offering so the Met offerings called customer 360 truth and I think truth stands for kind of, the single source of Truth for all customer data and the the modules inside of it is they have kind of a data manager that lets you map all your data from your various Salesforce and non Salesforce systems, into a single Universal. [11:10] Data platform so it's based on customer and it has a unique ID for each customer so like normally we would call that a CDP or a customer data platform, so it seems like Salesforce has launched one and they made it free to all their existing customers, and said that the actual example that use on stage was a retail example they had Louis Vuitton they commented you know. Despite the fact that Louis Vuitton uses marketing cloud in the Commerce Cloud that the you know the keynote speaker bought some cool Louis Vuitton shoes. Last week and he got an email you know marketing on this week because the in-store POS doesn't know you know that the the email system doesn't know that the insert POS old shoes. I'm inside with this new 360 data manager you can't. Relatively easily Plum all that data together and then the marketing Cloud knows to you know Market stuff to people that already bought their shoes instead of, to try to sell you the shoes you already bought so, the CDP space is pretty popular right now makes total sense that sells words would be in it kind of big news that they are not trying to sell it but they are giving it away and because they a lot of companies already have a lot of their data in Salesforce. [12:30] That's a pretty big competitive advantage of its kind of one click and you load all that data and all the data mapping and stuff is already done for you so that's pretty slick. New problem we're all struggling with is data governance and privacy, you know there's a European data standard and the California did a standard goes Live January 1st and so suddenly we all need new metadata about, who has permission what rights to us or what data and how we collected and all that sort of stuff so part of this 360 trap trust is a privacy and data governance module which is a product a lot of people are having to buy right now to get compliant so that's interesting, and then they have a customer in audience is module I may have the name wrong, this to me sounds sort of like what we would in the advertising space traditionally call a DMP or data management platform and so this is kind of, ability that take all the state of that you now a aggregated, and like create audiences and segments for specific campaigns and specific uses so it's the ability to do really sophisticated slicing and dicing of all this customer data you have, and the work with it. Known data IE people that you actually know and also unknown data IE you know an honest users that I've text you but haven't identified themselves, so that's kind of a pretty comprehensive interesting product that they want that's basically available immediately we stand. [13:59] In their sandbox so I'm sure some customers are excited about that. Scot: [14:03] Is the CDP thing on acquisition or something they build organically. Jason: [14:06] To the best of my knowledge they built that because I am not familiar of this specific acquisition there are like, a lot of the plumbing like so a big part of this is is data mapping and transformation and they they bought a very big company in that space mulesoft. Last year so it wouldn't surprise me if they revered some of that capability in here but you know they also had new announcements around how you'll stop is developing as a standalone tool so. So don't know I'm not specifically aware that they bought a CDP. Scot: [14:37] Do this is disrupted in the CDP world because if you already have a salesperson you get this for free then you're going to. Jason: [14:44] I think if you're a. Scot: [14:45] Buy another city. Jason: [14:46] Has has like you know very much data in the Salesforce Cloud it's it's definitely going to be a much tougher sell for anyone else and you know I would say a lot of people that have had a lot of trouble getting. The anticipated return or value out of it right like they you know the IT department to love to move around all this data and buy all these new tools that they often don't have buying from the business users in the office. Don't don't change their marketing activities based on having these new tools and so you don't get a very good Roi and. Because Salesforce has a lot of the marketing tools. Yeah I think they have a better chance to be successful and I think it's going to mostly go head-to-head with Adobe that you know also has a very robust marketing stack and has their own CDP, but yeah I'm sure the rest of the CDP vendors would rather a Salesforce have not gotten into this place. Scot: [15:41] And then if I remember from our deep dive on personalization that's kind of the heart of personalization alive times has this CDP thing. Jason: [15:49] Exactly in Encino sales force has a lot of person with Asian features they have a pretty robust a eye capability the day they have Brandon Einstein and so, kind of one of the cool things about the cloud is like you do do this mate data mapping you plug better data into it and all the recommendation tools you have and they iTunes you have. Just start working better without really having to do any new implementations or anything else which is to me pretty cool kind of like when you get up in the morning and your test was faster. [16:21] And then add some more. [16:23] Some other product announcements I mention Einstein a couple of times that big Einstein announcement is that they there beta testing Einstein voice so this is a natural language processing engine for all the sales for school, and so that they use case they damn it is you know you're in. In a sales meeting with a customer and you walked out of the meeting and now you kind of dictate your notes into the Salesforce app you just using natural language and you know Salesforce logs at contact in the CRA, you don't create the forecast if that's appropriate their you know all those kinds of things they did a couple other use cases that are kind of cool where. It can listen to the sales calls on the phone and listen to customer service calls on the phone and, either do kind of post call analysis and recommend different things to the salesperson than what they actually did you know based on its artificial intelligence, when the case of the customer service module it can be calling up like knowledge articles in and and helpful resolution to a problem just while it's listening to the, the customer service person talk to the customer so voice. That seemed a little less like live in a little more kind of this is the early version. [17:45] And then they now have some partnership well I guess those first ones not a partnership Salesforce about Tableau last year which is a big. [17:55] Data visualization data analytics tool. Today announced that the full integration of Tableau and Salesforce so now your Salesforce customer you get the whole Tableau capability set to use against your data for free so that's kind of cool. Is Salesforce a much better fate of visualization and analytics capability and then they announce Partnerships with three other companies so they announce the apartment or they, renew to partnership with apple the announces partnership a few years ago and this mostly takes the form of they launched on the sales force apps to run on iOS and so they have a. Pretty robust. Interface for all their tools that runs on iOS and and that's where they demoed Einstein voice is Kentucky into that app and stuff that was kind of cool. They announced a partnership with Amazon and I would call this one the least interesting they. [18:52] Have made a version of their customer service module stand alone and they're selling it as a as an app on AWS sojourn AWS customer you can turn on this. Customer success portal from Salesforce they announced that some of that Einstein voice stuff that we just talked about is available in beta on the Alexa devices. I'm so you potentially could dictate yourselves notes into an Alexa instead of in your phone. And they announce some training material that sells horse has a big warning portal and they announce the AWS training is is now available on the Michelle Sports training for so a pedestrian stuff there I would say, and then the last announcement which was a little surprising to me was a partnership with Microsoft. And the the biggest component of this is that they're moving the whole marketing Cloud to Microsoft Azure so this is to my knowledge the first time Salesforce is kind of formally picked. A public Cloud to host their Solutions on I think you're the for like most of the apps that run on Salesforce his own cloud so interesting and I'm sure a big win for Microsoft. Scot: [20:03] The so I guess that won't really be back customers just got like the back ends where it says. Jason: [20:10] Yeah I know it's Maura inside baseball thing like I'm sure you know if your Google Cloud platform you're upset and I you know I almost feel like the AWS announcements might have been to kind of soften the blow that they didn't pick it up. Scot: [20:24] Brickell the other big event that has happened since our last podcast that were recovered news is singles day did you track a I had to be at a fleet conference so I was not able to track lost a very close see did you see how that one. Jason: [20:38] I did I kept an eye on it it's it's almost gone so mature that it like personally I'll say it's like slightly less exciting for me. Then it was four years ago when we started this podcast for example but not shockingly they had another big year so, total sales for the day we're 38.38 billion dollars in US so that's a. Huge number that's more than six times bigger than the biggest e-commerce stay in North America. The scales just amazing and they're all these ridiculous stats about how many orders they take in the first minute in the first hour and all that stuff by partly because. Bape resell all the sales for so much that customers have chewed up a lot of purchases and they log on the first or second of the sale and click by, to my knowledge alibaba's never had any major infrastructure problems with this day which is like super impressive to me, is this feels like one of the biggest stress test of it and a delivery infrastructure in the world then it seems like they nail it every year. The one thing I would say so that that 30 billion dollars represents 26% year-over-year growth which is where the first time ever a deceleration in the rate of growth. [21:56] So you know the day might be kind of maturing a little bit the thing I go in a single day looking for most is if there's any evidence that there. [22:06] Expanding their International reach so single day like definitely. A place to a broader audience than just China but it tends to live primarily in Asia and there's some you know Western retailers that try to piggyback on it but but Alibaba themselves you know their main pushes get Western brands, on the platform selling to Asia for singles day not get Western consumer shopping on Singles day. And I would say like I saw less evidence this year than I had in the past that they were even sort of leaning in that direction, but it's definitely true that you know Western Brands tend to be amongst the biggest Sellers and fastest runners, on Singles day like it was a mix this year so they were like 15 brands that did over a billion one, in sales and that was like Chinese companies like way way, a Japanese company like Fast retailing that owns Uniqlo and then you know it's apple and Nike so, kind of a good mix food supplements are actually the biggest category so you know it's a lot of people buying like like gourmet food and nutritional supplements. Mostly imported products and then Cosmetics makeup Beauty are the second biggest category in her quite huge. [23:30] And then you know stuff like and Mike are like diapers do well to so so good day all around. [23:39] It felt like generally continuations of trends that we seen in the past rather than something while be different this year. Scot: [23:45] Used to be on Amazon would be up on that list as well have I wonder if they had a good singles day and I didn't see anything about. Jason: [23:52] I didn't see them referenced and you know singles Day falls on Veterans Day in the US and obviously you know it's a. Short. Of time before Thanksgiving and this year because. You know there are fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas like a lot of people started their Thanksgiving promotions earlier so you know it all together. Scot: [24:18] Yeah Google when did Jason Scott show without some Amazon news. Jason: [24:22] Amazon news new your margin is there opportunity. Scot: [24:36] Big amazon news that we want a report on is discovernursing so on the 13th of November not called this kind of the holiday punch in the news Nike pretty publicly announced that they are going to suspend that pilot program where they were selling Direct on Amazon there's a lot of this started this in 2017 there's a lot of speculation that so John Donahoe who was CEO of eBay and then went to, assassin company for a while and then it now has become CEO of Nike he had something to do with this obviously not a huge Amazon fan so that was pretty interesting Jason what it what did you make of that one. Jason: [25:20] Well there's a lot of speculation I Channelview the speculation that like when Nike started this pilot in there in 2017 I think it was, did it wasn't necessarily an effort to sell a ton of product on Amazon and Nike sort of felt like they had to be on Amazon for their customers the speculation was, did they wanted more leverage over Amazon to help and get Amazon to cooperate with sort of anti counterfeit anti gray marketing. And so you know a lot of us think that they they put a limited assortment of Nike products and certainly not the like poppy are new releases on Amazon in order to have a more formal business relationship with Amazon to achieve some of these softer goals and you don't now the inference is that didn't work very well or Donahue felt like it wasn't worth it or or you know whatever the case is but it, doesn't it never seemed like it was a full court press to create an amazing Amazon Nike brand experience on Amazon. I still like I think it's interesting I think it definitely gives cover to a lot of other brands that are on the fence about whether they should be on Amazon or not like I definitely think when Amazon Nike moved on there. It made it harder for other brands to say like we don't think that's right for our brands, and now like I think it did they're not on there I think it makes it easier for other brands that make that say move what it what do you think about that. Scot: [26:48] Yeah Yeah lyrics and see what how other brands react part of I think what Nike was thinking when they did this was they could control part of this was simultaneously Amazon put the clamps on people selling Nike products and if so I haven't heard anything but I'll be interesting to see if those, yo come off as well and then so will happen is this product will still be on on Amazon but just did the third-party Marketplace and argue, Amazon Prime makes more money that way anyway so I think Amazon will be okay I wouldn't I wouldn't cry for an hour don't stay up all night worrying about Amazon Chase. Jason: [27:28] I was not going to but you actually reminded me of another day point I actually heard some rumors that in the run-up to this that Nike may have been. Actively soliciting some of their authorized dealers to be comforted party sellers so like Nike may have even decided to help make sure that the. The product stayed on the platform when they pulled off the one piece sales. And I would just add one another thing that's a little more about Nike than Amazon but the to me. Nike being on Amazon was kind of counterintuitive because the same time they announced this pilot they announce this big initiative to cut way back on the number of wholesalers that they had, in the premise was we only want to work with retailers that have a really differentiated customer experience otherwise we would just rather sell the rest. [28:19] And so they literally had like 30,000 businesses that were selling Nike shoes and allegedly they tried to cut that down to 40 in these forty all had to kind of commit to have an enhanced Nike experience so think of like, Nordstrom with a Nike shop and shop for things like that, so to be kind of a commodity on Amazon at the same time you making that other shift kind of fell in kangaroo it is and they really had a lot of success with that initiative so, in 2013 so while ago 19% of their sales were direct-to-consumer today 30% of their cells are directions to consumer in it it's a that's a big number and Nikes case so that's pretty successful. [29:02] They're like 35% of their their their online sales are growing at 35% same-store sales growth like 6% so like most of the growth is coming from, their online direct to Consumer which is super interesting and I talked a lot about Nike being really good at digital in-store and doing a lot of really smart things, in their house of Innovations and their Nike towns and the one bit of news I didn't get to cover when it happened but that I think is super interesting is, Nike has this really good app that lets you kind of specify shoes you want to try on and in a Nike store of the shoes get delivered to a locker and you can try them on and buy them without ever having to talk to a Nike salesperson there now. Piloting that capability in Foot Locker stores so you walk into a Foot Locker in the upper east side of Manhattan and you can. Use the Nike Plus app to try to win merchandise and Foot Locker store you can order merchandise and it gets delivered to a Nike Locker inside the Foot Locker store it's a, it's super smart and interesting for Nike it was shocking to me for Foot Locker because it essentially means that Footlocker is encouraging. Customers to use the Nike app in Footlocker and you know like that doesn't help their Adidas sales very much so it was it that was it. An interesting thing that I've never seen before where a brand had a successfully done a takeover of the in-store digital experience of a retailer. Scot: [30:32] Yeah yeah must be complicated to manage all these different brand experiences at some point. Jason: [30:36] And then one other like so I started with an irony of and I'll finish with an irony this announcement that they're pulling off of Amazon happened two days after single day and of course Nike is one of the biggest presences and is all in on, I'm single day so that you know they one of those 40 retailers definitely is Ali Baba. Scot: [30:56] One of the R9 listeners were one of the kind of previous holiday punches in the nose that Amazon received was from Toys R Us so we'll see how this goes for Nike. Never a good idea to kind of flip your nose in Amazon so maybe we'll see some amazonbasics shoes with swoosh like things on them. Jason: [31:18] Yep. Be interesting. Scot: [31:19] Another quick Amazon one they did announce that they are going to start a week of Black Friday deals on the 22nd so they're they're going to have a week of Black Friday deals so it'll be interesting to see the kind of settled on on this deal format with a good kind of a combo of it got the gold box it got some Lightning Deals at the other day and then they wrote a bunch of that stuff in the past experiment was video and whatnot. I'll be watching on the 22nd just going to get a flavor for is there some new kind of platform at the deals as a kickoff Black Friday deals. Jason: [31:57] Yeah yeah I'm watching it in a we talked a little bit about this but the you know they also publish their physical toy catalog and one of the things they did a really good job this year and the toy catalog is. Digital integration in the paper catalog in it and sort of quick to buy capability and so. I thought that was really smart and then I noticed that the Walmart toy catalog holiday catalog just came out and is the first time Walmart has implemented that capability as well so that seems like the new the new standard and catalogs as you finally have to. You don't make your catalog digital friendly. Scot: [32:33] The any other Amazon news before we go on to Walmart earnings. Jason: [32:40] Just too quick to bits on grocery so we've talked about the fact that Walmart or Amazon has some real estate in Los Angeles and that and that they intend to open in grocery stores in Los Angeles. They they responded to some press inquiries last week, and in one of the one of the questions was are these stores going to be Jay Watts stores just walk out store so will they will they use Amazon go in this La Market in these much bigger grocery stores and Amazon said no so, that was kind of a definitive answer that you have these grocery stores aren't going to be bigger go stores and of course all the speculation is that they're going to be. Lower price of grocery stores like Target in a broader audience. [33:26] So we're all going to be eager to see when in January these doors open and I'll sure make a truck out to LA. Take it out of the winter and do some shopping in the new Amazon grocery concept but then there was an article that came out this week that although they're not using, Amazon go in this La Market concept that they're opening, Amazon did admit that they have a dark store at private store that they don't you know what let test customers and employees into in Seattle this a 20,000 square foot grocery store, that is using the Amazon Go technology so they apparently are pressure testing and stress testing, the the Amazon Go technology for a bigger form factor store which is interesting and in that same article they also acknowledge that they're actively talking to several retailers, about attentively licensing the technology and one of the ideas was apparently Amazon has productized kind of a small kiosk version of The Go technology. That you might use it like an airport or a hotel lobby and that a sibo which is a sort of a gourmet food and convenience store concept it's in a lot of airports. Was apparently named as a potential licensee for that so give me interesting stuff to watch. Scot: [34:50] Record then we have a couple earnings to report on super stuff is Walmart. Jason: [34:56] And not shocking but they they had a good earnings call so Revenue was up 3.3% same-store sales in the US were up 6.6% so the US is doing better than International for them econ was up 41% so that's right in the range that they've been. [35:16] Announcing a recorder they've been kind of bouncing around between 39 and 45 per cent they promised that for the year that be up 40% so 41%, feels good and Doug mcmillon acknowledged that the bulk of that gross in e-commerce is Grocery and specifically grocery pick-up and and he did kind of, talk about the the elephant in the room on that that that growth is not particularly profitable and you know one of the goals for Walmart is that they need to do a much better job of. Selling more stuff to those those grocery customers to make the sales more profitable and so what's interesting about that is the aov, on grocery pick-up is already higher like twice as high as the it'll be in the store but what isn't happening in grocery is you're not adding any general merchandise to that order, and though that's you know one of the big challenges that that Doug mcmillon talked about is they got to turn online grocery customers into overall Walmart customers. And you know we were at the moment there's a separate app that you use to buy groceries then there is to buy general merchandise and so you know. [36:29] They call that the gold and blue app and don't be surprised if you see, the feature set of those two apps kind of merge in order to affect the School of the Dead was talking about but it is interesting to me either. 1400 their stores now do grocery delivery $3,000 stores now do grocery pickup, again they have about 4,000 stores in the US so they can expand for another quarter and a thousand more stores and keep having this kind of growth, you know is very likely that growth is going to slow down once they get to 4000 stores that are all doing grocery pick-up and delivery and then it's going to be really critical that they, change the customer Behavior or their other cops are going to be really challenging and then kind of related to the earnings announcement they did introduce their new CEO for the us so that used to be a CEO named Greg foran he left to become the president of New Zealand airlines he's a native New Zealander so, best way to drag and they promoted John firmer who was the former CEO of Sam's Club to be the president of the u.s. So he's a longtime Walmart guy but he's a really young guy so. [37:42] Congrats and it's going to be interesting to see how he does it Walmart and then they back filled his job with Katherine Maclay who used to run Neighborhood Market so that's. The stand-alone Walmart grocery concept and so she steps up to become the CEO of Sam's Club so some some internal matriculation happening it at, at Walmart. Scot: [38:05] Sunmark Lori reports right to McMillan right so would does he is eCommerce, cross-section so the u.s. guide actually just run stores in the Commerce a separate how does that. Jason: [38:19] Yeah yeah so there's two presidents of the US there's there's the president of stores which it was dragging now John and there's the president of digital which is Mark they both report to the CEO. At Walmart which is Doug mcmillon and the like there's a chief customer officer, that's kind of above marketing and she reports to both of them so she coming to you don't have to report that to the digital and the stores. And you know I think some of the old articles from last year about Walmart we're about like some sort of friction between the store guy in the digital guy in the fact that you know. A lot of the digital growth was actually being delivered by the stores with this online grocery pick-up and that you know Mark was kind of getting credit for it but it was probably, the store guide doing most of the work so it'll be interesting. John's a little younger than Greg you know I think it's a fair assumption that he's a little more. Digitally native then dragged was and so it'll be interesting to see if he has a different relationship with Mark and Greg. Scot: [39:25] Selena on the heels of that we had Target earnings and this is what in the world of all straight we effectively call a beat and raised so this is really well-received by Wall Street, so the beat part expectations was EPS of a dollar 19 came in well north of that at a dollar 36 and then they bumped up the guidance at Wall Street was expecting 592 620 on the revenue side and they came in at 6:45 to 6:45 so they kind of move the range of guidance up above all she was acting self shares were up pretty sharply I saw, thanks to this so that was good and then there was a e-commerce was up 31%. Gets me back to this question we should we talk about Pride like every 10 shows or so if everyone's e-commerce is growing north of 30%, these are big companies so Amazon's at like 25 Walmart we have at 41 Target here at 31 how on Earth, even like Shopify is growing forget their number but it's it's like 30% I think last time I saw GMB wise. [40:40] Then we have e-commerce growing at 15% I I. I don't know how that works something something has to be like a negative growth even eBay is like just flat so it's not going to really be a negative trim there so I can look inclusion e-commerce is either going faster than we think it is or, or there's some peace some dark matter in there that we don't have any visibility on that I'd like to me but I digress did you see anything interesting in the Target earnings date they the talk a lot about ship-from-store some sure you if you were interested in that. Jason: [41:13] Yep yeah that was super interesting that we talked about it before but my answer to your conundrum below is that e-commerce is growing faster than we think, and the problem is like all of these these, companies that come out and say e-commerce is growing at 15% of index there their forecast of the US Department of Commerce data in the US Department of Commerce data is flawed for, Ecommerce particularly for omni-channel e-commerce and so when Walmart says they grow 41% and that's mostly people going to pick up groceries at the curb the US Department of Commerce counts that is best for sale so that's part of your bra. But in any case yeah the target announcement was super interesting to me for some of the granular data they shared about their curbside pickup so first of all they said hey we grew 31%, 80% of that gross was pickup in-store orders. So so that the that you know they bought this company ship they they really enhance their curbside pickup capabilities they do deliveries from store and they do they actually built with all male rooms in the back of all their stores and they do ship from store and so. [42:27] That store inventory is being used for 80% of their digital growth which is huge and then most interesting is that they said that when a customer comes to the store to pick up an order so we don't have to ship it to the customer. That takes 80% out of our cost or 90% rather out of our costs 08, curbside pickup order Casas 10% of what a ship to home order cost us and when we get a ship the homeowner and we can ship it from a store. That cost that's 40% cheaper than ship from a fulfillment center and so, the you know a debate has always been like Ashley stores aren't going to be as efficient at picking and shipping as a fulfillment center so you know the unit economics could arguably be worse the pic and chip, and then the counter argument is but your shipping in a way shorter distance because the inventory is already a lot closer to the customer and so the shipping cost should be well or and you know people debated about whether that netted a positive or negative for the retailer and what Target is saying as. Man we can ship something from the store that I get there faster to the customer and it says it's a bunch of money and we can get the customer to come to us and pick it up it saves us, a boatload of money and that's what most of our customers are doing so. [43:46] To me that's super encouraging for Target and it's fascinating and it really high like me. The difference between the Walmart and Target strategy. [43:59] So one problem with all the ship from store and pick up in store stuff is you can only sell the inventory you have in the store right, is a target's got 65,000 skews in the store and soda Target digital strategy is to sell those 65,000 skus, either Walmart you had like 200,000 skews in the store but you're trying to compete with Amazon for the total wallet share and you're trying to sell tens of millions or hundreds of millions of skews and throat you know Walmart is totally leaned into building more fulfillment centers in developing a Marketplace, and that that kind of thing to sort of get there their catalog up to be you know competitive with Amazon and they're making progress and doing that, but it really makes the unit economics challenging for Walmart whereas Target is selling a much more constrained, catalog but they're actually able to do that profitably you know it's kind of not sure once Reggie's right or wrong but it feels like, Walmart is trying to hit a homerun and compete with Amazon and Target is trying to head a sort of a single or a double and you know being more successful at doing. Scot: [45:09] The one thing that doesn't add up for me so the store has 65,000 items Target's website has I would imagine orders of magnitude more than that right. Jason: [45:21] Maybe a order of magnitude more they have more but it's not their target does not have millions of products. Scot: [45:27] That's what's to say it's a hundred. Jason: [45:30] Yeah could be two hundred thousand. Scot: [45:32] Yeah but what's a 200000 the chances are. Yeah that the thing you order online is not going to be in the store so do they know are they pushing people to order things in the store and some way like the top of search results. How are they or just happens to be the head of the distribution curve and that's kind of the 80/20 rule. Jason: [45:54] So I do I think it's partly that that 80/20 rule but I do think target is more actively merchandising the in-store assortment in are you know, then there are some other retailers and you know it is I think it's two because they have a. Metronidazole a lot of items but and I don't know this for a fact but I would bet you anything did the percentage of customers on target, Define products through the guided navigation is much higher, then the percentage of people that find products through the guided navigation on Amazon or Walmart like the Walmart and Amazon assortments are so big The Galley navigation is use very little and almost everybody has to find things through search but Target is so much more known for curation, a lot more with target cells are their own Brands brands that are exclusively available through Target. And like I do think they have like a more chill rated taxonomy that's more friendly to shopping and so, you know part part of this is a self-fulfilling prophecy is that you know more people are clicking through the menus they're saying the first page of that menu result they're buying stuff that's all stuff that's in the store. I think that's literally the target strategy and it's kind of opposite of the Amazon Walmart strategy. Scot: [47:14] And then a couple Acquisitions to talk about the first one that I think shocked both of us PayPal acquired honey-honey is a well, browser extension so it sits there you install it into your Chrome or your Safari or your Internet Explorer, messenger name that always forget and you know what kind of watch is your shopping behavior and if it sees you throw something in your cart somewhere it will go and try to find a lower price so essentially just like. [47:43] Scot Anderson there's tons of these out there none of them have got no attraction but for some reason honey is done a really good job with marketing and and seems to have a pretty good user base the thing that shocking about this one is a couple things first of all the price tag of four billion dollars this is asbestos, we've seen reported this 200 billion dollar Revenue company just got a 20 x multiple so that's just me there was some kind of a bidding war hear the other thing I wonder how PayPal navigated is I would imagine so if you think of Amazon having 50% of e-commerce it's probably 50% of the honey I'm activity or more is on Amazon. [48:28] My understanding is there some kind of an affiliate relationship they're so so Amazon hasn't black honey but now that it has a new owner I'm Amazon you know do I really want it your PayPal owning this there's going to be some, preference PayPal payments Amazon doesn't take PayPal, yell at my say something happens and they are in Amazon turns off honey which which is very viable yeah you can look at the IP in and just shut the crawlers down that they have you know that thing has huge exposure from getting an award Amazon so I hope PayPal is thoughts through that and, got some somewhere around that challenged his communication to see what happens to that one. Jason: [49:13] Yeah and I can try to shut them down they can make it way harder for honey but like there are companies that successfully still. Do stuff with Amazon even though Amazon doesn't want them to I'm not saying that's the position you want to be in but I'm not sure it would completely exclude on that would just make it much harder if Amazon. Active it at preventing it, but I think they might have a broader version of that problem you know Visa V PayPal in that like I I don't know that much about honey but I imagine that the retailers have a love-hate relationship with him if, you're not a honey partner and people are shopping on your site and honey is trying to divert those customers to a site that is a honey partner, you don't like honey very much right so if your target you're not paying honey and when you you know try to buy stuff on On Target it's saying like hey there's this other retailer that has a lower price, or you know honey you says like hey they have a promo code over here these kinds of things. You have the potential to to alienate a bunch of retailers and those are the same retailers that PayPal is trying to get to a doctor platform, so it is possible that they're going to have some customer conflict here don't don't know enough to know that for sure yet but but it's going to be interesting to see how it all plays out and improve your point. I sure hope PayPal thought through that when they paid for billion dollars for me. Scot: [50:43] Yeah we should probably rename this segment Scott and Jason are super jealous or why didn't we think of that so it so number one congrats. Short forgetting this exit and then the other one that was kind of mind-blowing was Kylie Jenner she started a makeup company and you know obviously she's she in her hole Kardashian Clan there are a really big influencers this has blown up 2 / 200 million in Revenue very quickly and she sold half the business to the large conglomerate in the beauty category called Cody for 600 million which is effectively gives that a 1.2 billion dollar valuation in the real mind-blower is the company has six employees. Jason: [51:29] Yeah that Revenue per employee works out to be pretty good huh. Scot: [51:32] Yeah I have a feeling Kylie may take a disproportionate amount of that but we don't. Jason: [51:40] Yeah I know it's that super anything in that I mean it's a nuanced but I think Cody actually bought 51% so that's that a controlling interest. Which is somewhat interesting like I wonder if that will in any way put off Kylie Jenner fans but I mean mad props to her like I think she's actually totally changed the way influencers think about monetizing, their popularity comes before this they all would take money to, sell other people's stuff and this model has been so successful that you now see a lot of other popular influencer saying hey. I'm not going to promote someone else's product. No launch my own products and so there there's a lot of lot of folks trying to follow in her footsteps but this is a. You know what that huge home run and congrats Shopify by the way cuz that's this probably the biggest biggest retailer on the shop. Scot: [52:33] Yep and it's also important to point out that this is also a DMV be kind kind of a strategy here so imagine fairly large percentage of her sales are from her website and then she does I think she does sell thru I always get it could use which one but she's in either Sephora or Ulta. Jason: [52:55] Yep and I think she started out online only and then only in the last year has she added the the wholesale distribution but so yeah for sure. Scot: [53:06] So Jason and I have a big announcement we are starting the Jason and Scott beauty company and we're going to come out with a palette for Holiday 2020 so stay to. Jason: [53:16] Yep yeah we're not to upgrade the servers for the mass influx of traffic we get for that but looking forward to it and it will include a browser plug-in which will help you buy a product instead of anyone else's product on the web so we're kind of think of it is, honey + Kylie Jenner. Scot: [53:35] Yep we'll just call it Scott and Jason honey or something like that we're still working on the brand. Jason: [53:40] Exactly send your suggestions to Scott, and sadly that's going to be we're going to have to leave it cuz we have used up all our a lot of time as always if you have any questions or comments you have to hit us up on Twitter or Facebook page and I please please please this is a great time for holidays to give us that special gift and go to iTunes and give us that five star review the the reviews key keep coming but we we want and need more and we really appreciate it. Scot: [54:10] Thanks everyone we're probably stay tuned for episode 200 you're going to love it. Jason: [54:18] Yeah absolutely that's going to be fun next week and until then Happy commercing.

Merely Human Moment 10 Of Acorns and Embryos by Jay Watts

David Boonins new book Beyond Roe Why Abortion Should Be Legal Even if the Fetus Is a Person hits the shelves as the world ramps up the political wars over abortion. The Supreme Courts ideological make up may have shifted for the first time in decades as a result of President Trumps appointments of Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. Abortion rights supporters fear that Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision responsible for protecting the right to an abortion in all fifty states, may be in jeopardy. New York, Illinois, and other state legislatures rushed to amend their laws to protect abortion in the event Roe falls. States such as Georgia, Ohio, and Alabama sought to push the boundaries of the current climate to test if they can restrict access to abortion. Celebrities, business leaders, and cultural influencers threaten boycotts while the Senate calls in social media executives to answer charges of discriminating against pro lifers. This book and its arguments could not be more timely or relevant, given the current climate.

Merely Human Minute #2 - Alyssa Milano's Cynical Ploy by Jay Watts

Trigger Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of various types of abortions. Therefore, this content might be disturbing and traumatizing and not suitable for some listeners. During the fall of 2018, a public and brutal Supreme Court nomination battle saw Judge Brett Kavanaugh assume the seat left vacant by Justice Anthony Kennedy, the highest courts perennial swing vote, establishing an assumed conservative majority. Those who defend abortion as a fundamental right fear that the permissive legal environment created through Roe v Wade hangs in the balance. States are declaring sides in the abortion battle with New York, Virginia, Illinois, and others shoring up permissive abortion laws similar to the national Roe environment while Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky and others seek to restrict the practice of abortion. Actress Alyssa Milano recently headed a list of celebrities threatening to boycott the state of Georgias film industry in response to their Fetal Heartbeat Bill as heated Twitter wars erupted daily. The film Unplanned was released in March 2019 in the midst of all of this division surrounding abortion with accompanying high expectations about how it could impact this landscape. The film tells the real life story of Abby Johnson the former Bryan, Texas Planned Parenthood clinic director as she goes from college student and Planned Parenthood volunteer to clinic director and finally to prolife advocate. This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with JOURNAL author Jay Watts about his online exclusive CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL film review Unplanned: An Imperfect but Brave film.

Matthew Burford interviews pro-life speaker, Jay Watts, on current issues regarding abortion and the New York law on "reproductive rights".

In Choosing Down Syndrome Ethics and New Prenatal Testing Technologies, author Chris Kaposy, the associate professor of Bioethics in the Faculty of Medicine at Memorial University Newfoundland, argues that advancements in less invasive prenatal testing will increase the use of those tests and produce a greater number of occurrences of selective abortion in cases of Down syndrome diagnosis. As the father of a son with Down syndrome, Kaposy encourages people to resist the overwhelmingly preferred option of abortion and choose to allow their children with Down syndrome to be born. Kaposy, however, argues from the perspective of an outspoken pro choice advocate who believes the human fetus is not the kind of organism that can be wronged and women should be free to choose abortion without interference of the state or community. This Postmodern Realities podcast episode is a conversation with JOURNAL author Jay Watts about his Volume 41 5 book review article Assessing a Pro Choice Argument against Aborting Children with Down Syndrome

Jason and I are actually physically in the same room together this only happens about, maybe one in 10 episodes maybe one in 20 but I am in Chicago for the B2B show called B2B next that started this evening and then is ramping up tomorrow and I'm giving a talk about, winning the away game for B2B companies and Jason lives in Chicago even though he rarely is here so it was fortunate we were in the same city at the same time. Jason: [1:15] It's super fortunate I'm just finding out now that you didn't exclusively come to Chicago to see me so I'm a little hurt but I am thrilled for your company and companionship none the less. Scot: [1:27] Yeah I can Chicago to see you... And do a quick cake. Jason: [1:31] Yeah I mean I feel like if I knew Scott wing it was coming to Chicago I would throw a trade show just to get you to do it. Scot: [1:37] That's thank you I appreciate it we should do a Jason Scottrade shift I'll be our next one of our 2020 goals. Jason: [1:45] Yeah if you're any of our friends in the trade show industry don't worry Scott's just joking. Scot: [1:49] Will have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches it'll be within the range of 6 Starbucks. Jason: [1:58] I like that last part a lot. Scot: [2:00] Call somebody excited to be here because there's an Amazon go store and I am going to stop by tomorrow morning if it's not raining but I heard you have already been. Jason: [2:10] I have indeed I've been super excited to touch you because I feel like this, week is just busting with exciting e-commerce news that Amazon go store actually opened last week, and I was out of town so some of that Amazon go stores are in locations that are open 7 days a week this particular one, is in a busy downtown area during the week that's kind of dead on the weekend so the store wasn't open over the weekend so today was my first chance. To go shopping and compare and contrast it to the Seattle locations. Scot: [2:47] Brickell what were the the pros the cons the differences the similarities. Jason: [2:52] So I have a feeling most Shoppers would feel that they were very similar to the Seattle one is a reminder just walked out technology you have to use an app. Scot: [3:04] JJ Watt hashtag JJ Watt. Jason: [3:05] #Jay Watts you have to use an app to get in the store you cameras watch you throughout the store you grab all your purchases at this convenience store format, and then you just walk out and Amazon automatically charges your account for your purchase at so that's the original promised the first store in Seattle had a very visible, kitchen until like the majority of items they sold we're actually not National brand food products they were. [3:34] Sandwiches and in meal kits that were made on site on the premise. And they also in that original store later got a liquor license and started selling alcohol, they open the second location in Seattle that did not have a kitchen and I and many others assume they use the one kitchen as sort of a hub-and-spoke and deliver food to, go shuttle locations from that kitchen so I was really curious to see what they do in Chicago when they open their first store and once again there is not a public kitchen so either they have. A private kitchen somewhere else in Chicago and they're delivering the meals in or, and I did seem slightly farfetch but they're delivering the meals from out of town, and restocking on the I was kind of curious if they had the date that they were made on the sandwiches and they they have the date their best consumed by. Which most of the sandwiches that were available when I was in the store where best consumed today so. Scot: [4:36] You could fly them in on that Fleet of Amazon Prime planes. Jason: [4:40] It's always remotely possible and since the store just hoping you can imagine there's a kitchen coming somewhere else that isn't live yet or maybe it already is why there's no there's no I could have been his one way or another store has more. Gondolas in the original store so there's more aisles in the store which since they're watching you with a bunch of cameras in the roof I imagine the aisles are a little harder to do because they potentially block lines of sight. It has two entrances. [5:12] So that adds a little bit of complication you walk through kind of a Subway style turnstile and scan a QR code on your Amazon Go app, to get into the store in the very first or when you were running the app and you grabbed purchases you could kind of see on the app I running, shopping cart you could see what Amazon thought you had it when you put something back you could see it disappear in real time from your cart. In this store and I did two shopping trips you don't get any real time does ability to what you're taking you walk out of the store and frankly the second you walk out it's not clear. If you been charged at all and then a minute later this receipt pops up that says pending and then about 3 or 4 minutes later, you get an itemized receipt that shows you what you charged and I don't know why the difference but I bet the. The scenario here seems a little problematic you could potentially being a cab on your way away from the store and find out you were. You are Miss charge for something. Scot: [6:14] Sounds like human intervention in there this is one reason I can think of you to have a pause like that you know of some kind of Mechanical Turk like check that's going on somewhere. Jason: [6:24] Potentially it the original store, they actually have Windows and you can see a video observation area where a bunch of guys in red shirts are watching video and this was like, even when I was an employee only mode none of that is visible in the store now that doesn't mean it's not there it just means they they didn't choose to build a. A window in that first or is in an Amazon owned building so you imagine, it's cheaper and easier for them to do exterior things where they're just a tenant in a in an office building. In the Chicago store so unclear they have an army of people watching I did two purchases and both were accurate, I bought a web we just walk out technology technology coffee mug for my wife some Amazon go. Scot: [7:15] You're hopeless. Jason: [7:16] I am I am Amazon go chocolate for for Stephen and I got the beam on a sandwich because, we heard that's the number one skew and I thought this would be a super exciting gourmet sandwich and Jeff if you're listening the sandwich wasn't that good I was so disappointed. Scot: [7:34] Too much Mayo not enough a Sprouts what what was off. Jason: [7:37] The bread to be my ratio I thought was way off it was way too much bread for two little feeling. Scot: [7:44] It's interesting that there's been a fair amount of traffic on Twitter around people that have gone to the store and initial reaction is oh I'm not worried about grocery stores I'm worried about 7-Eleven. At is a kind of what you think through this. Jason: [8:00] So I think there's two categories that are potentially at risk one is 7-Eleven or just hit more generically non gasoline convenience store so it turns out, that 80% of convenience stores sell gas and that's a special reason to go there that the Amazon go doesn't have so it is a competitor for those doors, but. Those those kind of sore tennis sell a bunch of prepackaged food in National Brands and there's a little bit of that in this store so there's National brand drinks and there's a few different varieties of chips but the assortment. Bike is probably like more Amazon made stuff it probably feels slightly fresher and more healthy than. Scot: [8:45] It sounds like an old Bon Pain or those are called or a Marks & Spencer in the UK where they're saying yeah kind of. Jason: [8:50] So I was actually going to say like a pretty amazed you or maybe sort of grab-and-go pre-made sandwiches like. Scot: [9:00] Where I'm from we call it pret a Manger you get the fancy French talk. Jason: [9:04] I work for a French company so I've learned like for French words and you just heard 3. The other ones not suitable for our general audience podcast in some ways. It feels like the primary use case for this store is, office workers grabbing lunch and not being gone from their desk that long and so you can imagine that that was the original problem that Jeff was trying to stuff for was getting Amazon employees back to work quicker, and yes I could be the Subway sandwich that this is more a threat to. Scot: [9:39] Yeah one of the writers so internet retailer is here in the city and one of the writers was saying in Chicago it is a huge problem to go out for lunch and his it's a four minute longer walk to the Amazon go store but it took him 2 minutes to get in and out and all the other places he walked by we're at the 30 minute wait so it is you know we've had arguments with some folks on Twitter that talk about, it's not really convenience and then one of the things I think long-term they're going for is there going to be less labor a better one that goes to one says it's got like three times the labor of any other store they've ever been in. How to get Amazon's just Staffing that early days to get people, trained and download the app to help kind of jump start it but I think long-term I think the labor will be very low on these. Jason: [10:27] Yeah I think you're right like the you are out customers are definitely outnumbered by Amazon employees at the moment. That's because there's some new things that customers are having to be taught and so you know we we were talking earlier it's it's someone analogous to an ATM machines first launched and Banks would staff a human to stand next to the ATM and teach you why in the short run that that didn't make sense why why. Put a person next to the machine trying to replace a person but once I want to learn how to use ATM machines they were able to get rid of those trainers in the airline's did something very similar with, electronic boarding passes where they had a lot of help initially so at the moment. They remove the friction of standing in line to pay but they had this new friction of having to download an app before you can even get in the darn store so that a lot of people standing outside the store in the rain, helping you install your your app now luckily Amazon's from Seattle so that people are familiar with standing in the rain, presumably they imagine a future when everyone already have the app install the and or it'll become more familiar and so they won't they won't need all that labor to explain everything to everybody. Scot: [11:42] Brickell and then last week you were at shop.org which unfortunate had to miss due to some hurricane issues but give us a little trip report from shop.org what was interesting there it was in Las Vegas this year your favorite City. Jason: [11:56] Sorry one other thing I forgot to mention on the Amazon go they just want to ride their super quick they did add alcohol to the Seattle store and there's been a lot of talk that's another, friction point because now you have to have another human you know you're supposed to just be able to walk out when you're done but now you have to have a human when you're walking out they can check your ID, and Zoe you know we talked about the pros and cons of that this store does not have alcohol so that that may have been some decision or maybe that it takes longer to get a liquor license. Scot: [12:28] This may seem unrelated but in my city of Raleigh we were a Goldilocks City for a lot of different things because we have just like a million million at people Ivory digital City and all that good stuff we have all of the different kind of Transportation model so we have all the lime bikes the birds and all that stuff I've tried all of them and what's interesting is they all have, if you're over 18 to use this and I'll have a driver license scanning mode where else can the front, Idaho Ciara and they scan the back and they're saving that data as you saying I am over this age I don't think that works for alcohol but, I kind of think there could be some way to do that and you have to work with the local alcohol real people but you know, Amazon really good at kind of saying alright let's take a room of people and put them somewhere in a back alley in Seattle not in front retail space and just like you know we fly all these drones out of remote locations why not have a lot of the stuff pushed to a cheaper location somewhere like maybe the people in the Amazon store they're standing around maybe they're standing somewhere in Seattle for the Chicago store if there's no reason to have to physically be there. Jason: [13:35] Telepresence for doing a d Checkers and in fact you can imagine that use that same teleprinter sentence for delivering alcohol at some point and I D Jackson. All kinds of boys like that I have zero doubt that Amazon can solve the technical problem of doing, inaccurate age verification at your point it will probably take slightly longer and be slightly harder to get the, the Bureau of Alcohol to agree that that's a suitable approach. So you would ask me about shop.org we had surgery on last week and we did talk a little bit about some of the content with sucharita so she gave, a presentation about marketplaces that was super interesting I know that's a topic that you sometimes have a personal interest in. I did some stuff on on the areas where artificial intelligence is actually getting Traction in retail in Commerce and got some decent feedback, but one of the things that jump. Org has added in the last couple years is an innovation section so this is a, less expensive portion of the trade show floor that's cheaper to exhibit that's enticing, newer younger emerging companies and so it's one of my favorite parts of the shofar to walk because I'm generally familiar with most of the, vendors that have been exhibiting shop.org for many years but it's fun to see some new you know sometimes crazy stuff. [15:04] Answer this year two companies kind of jumped out at me there's a company called Shiro. Which is really focusing on the problem of digital. Digital Shoppers getting the equivalent, personal experience of an in-store Shopper and so along the lines of the ID check you just talked about these guys are essentially, creating a telepresence solution so that store staff when they're not helping an employee customer in the store, can I have live chats and create video content for customers that are shopping the website. I'm so it's sort of a way to have a more human interaction with web Choppers that's whatever Jean the in-store labor force and that's, part of the genre of omni-channel that I think is really smart and interesting so I like that. Approach and then there was a company called seek and and I suspect we can talk a little bit more about this in general terms later but, Sikhism, augmented reality company for mobile phones we've talked a lot about how augmented reality is probably much more important than, virtual reality for Commerce in the short run and what seek is really focused on is. [16:28] Apple in OS 12 just launched some new features that now that you do good augmented reality in the web browser no app required and so seek is. One of the first companies with a tool set that retailers can, license on the cloud to have good a our experiences in a mobile web browser without having to get an app downloaded and I think that's really smart and obviously there. Timing their company launched with the the release of this new product last week. Scot: [17:02] Brickell and then last but not least I think you were going to New York to go to recode did you were you able to make it to that to see mr. Del Rey. Jason: [17:10] So sadly so I have a ticket I had a client call me in another Direction at the last minute but I did get an opportunity to watch, a lot of Jason's interviews on YouTube and they're they're uploading all the all the speakers to YouTube so if you're interested you are, they're all available in a couple that stood out to me the founder of Shopify who seems like. He's sort of up to his his public visibility in the last few months that you used to be kind of a rekluse that didn't, do a lot of public presentations he had a good conversation with Jason Delray I had sent Jason all kinds of specific questions I wanted to ask about shopify's size and Market penetration which I notice. Jason didn't get a chance to ask but he did talk a little bit about who's probably the Marquee you know Enterprise customer using Shopify which is Kylie Jenner, interview back into some of his answers you don't think he he was saying that over the last 2 years, Kylie Jenner sold 900 million dollars worth of product on the, maybe two and a half years sold 900 million dollars on Shopify which is in a pretty good scale we normally think of Shopify as a long tail solution for very small Merchants but that's a pretty good size. Scot: [18:39] Yeah I think what makes it work is I think it's not a huge number of skews right I think there's like, two nail polishes and tendus too. So I think she just has like in a quantity of Brazilian of 50 skews which doesn't put a cart through too many of its Paces Paces you don't need a fancy content management system you just need scalability in robustness on the check outside. Jason: [19:00] Yeah I know I totally agree there are some boxes that that checks that shows that they have good elastic availability for these peak days but you're right like there's a lot of things that you would exercise in the catalog with a million skews in it that. [19:14] That particular site isn't isn't demonstrating scale on it at all, I had asked Jason if you could ask who some of the big catalog we can go there but it was interesting cuz he what he talked a lot about hey we started trying to solve for the small business customer, and a lot of companies as they grow try to move up market and he he's claiming the day over we don't want to do that they don't want to abandon. Their core market so they want this new product Shopify plus which is intended to be more upmarket but they explicitly, launch that with a new team and a new office in a new city and sort of partitioned it. From the original offering so it really Leverage is the quote the court code base and add some new capabilities and services but his promise for. [20:10] How he was going to expand their Market rather than a band in the the low end of the market to move up was, The Silo this the Shopify + offering and he talked a lot about how in his mind, front and commerce experiences are actually pretty easy and he's a coder you mentioned a lot of the original Cody Road, is still in the platform and hasn't needed to change for the front end but they're like 90% of the ongoing development effort they're doing are all the post order code in. Complex water management and integration to to Legacy Erp systems and one of the big features they just launched for Shopify plus is the ability to manage multiple Warehouse locations for exam. Scot: [20:57] There was you I saw some people kind of kind of gasp on Twitter because I don't think that those numbers were public that Kylie had that he revealed I mean she had talked about in 2017 we talked about this on episode 145, what was out there that they were dude they did 300 million in 2017 so it means they probably did for 5500 maybe even 620 18th so you know I don't think a lot of people would have guessed, what was that big so kind of added her Revenue I don't know if she was aware of that or happy or sad or she's probably more on Instagram than following what's going on too. Jason: [21:33] Exactly where she I think she left Twitter so so he was safe I don't know yeah but that was the first time I heard some confirmation from a third-party Source oh. That was interesting another talk with Jen Rubio and Jen was actually at shop.org but then she she was also interviewed by Del Rey she's one of the two co-founders of a way which is, terrific example of a digital native vertical brand in the luggage space. Scot: [22:01] Yeah and I have my birthday present was away luggage to this is my first trip using it and I have to say I'm very pleased right now. Jason: [22:06] Nice so I feel like it gets really high marks we may need a product review from you the one thing I'm always curious about is I think a lot of the way luggage has the option for a smart battery built into the luggage, and there's a lot of controversy now about the airlines not letting you certainly not letting you check that but in some cases, making you take the battery out to even carry it on which frankly doesn't make sense to me. Scot: [22:32] Yep so it's checking it you can't check it with the lithium in there and they now pops out so I think they're V1 was fixed and now it meaning it could not. Jason: [22:40] The ball so it's easy to pop out and put in your lap. Scot: [22:41] Injectable that makes a lot easier to charge to like lifting your suitcase up onto the. Jason: [22:48] Well I look forward to buying something electricity from you at Future shows that we travel together. Scot: [22:52] Absolutely just at yeah I've got a milliamp hours of plenty. Jason: [22:57] So we've heard a little bit about a way one of her investors what was on Earth from Comcast best Adventures was on her show earlier, this year but one of the interesting comments that she made the Jason that I thought was really clever so they have a few stores at the moment one in SoHo in New York, in one of the kpi that they have for the store is. How many times people upload Instagram pictures from the store. In a way that sounds cheesy and sort of superficial but as we're in this world where, sort of Assortment and low friction shopping is moving out of brick and mortar and onto the you know these big online marketplaces one of the main roles for brick-and-mortar is around experiential environments, and one of the ways you know you've accomplished a exponential environment is when people shopping in the store, want to memorialize their trip to the store so I actually thought that was a kind of clever and smart metric to be looking at, maybe we'll do a deeper dive in some other show but there's this big trend of these instagrammable spaces the for example the Ice Cream Factory in San Francisco there's a couple temporary ones you just opened here. Scot: [24:19] Yeah I have a I have two teenage kids and every time we go on a trip we have to include their the things they want to do or these instagrammable places that they've seen on Instagram so. What time it was this bubbly ice cream thing and then it was raw cookie dough then it was let's see it's rolling ice cream is big now. Jason: [24:40] No answer I mean on the way. Scot: [24:42] The food is very instabul in which is a huge part of the experience. Jason: [24:46] And that sounds somewhat silly on one hand but it it makes a lot of sense and you know it someone reminded me in the old days like to differentiate yourself you just had to be unique amongst your 200 code students, in your high school class or ever did your high school class was, but these days you have to be unique amongst your ten thousand friends on Instagram and so you know it is harder to differentiate yourself and so these these opportunities for, more digitally native Shoppers to have a differentiated experience and share it you know makes a lot of sense so that's a smart thing for for retail designers to be thinking about. Scot: [25:25] Packaging for a way was really interesting that comes in a cardboard box what you expect, but then the bag is in a really nice kind of a cloth bag and then when you open it there's a whole experience around there's a little booklet there global travel pack that comes with it, and then they train you on how to use it and then there's a little book about, it is very much pitch is a Lifestyle brand of you know the things you can do with your way and then they promote hashtags that you should, do while you're going and you know it's almost kind of like the beginning of an adventure around travel and and going to see things so it's pretty well done your versus you're just like you know. Popping open a Samsonite or something and you know it'll be just fall out in this kind of experience. Jason: [26:10] The premise of her shop.org talk was. They build the brand less about talking about the features and benefits of luggage and trying to sell luggage and then said they are, they start from the perspective of selling travel experiences so the store, is less about here's how to demonstrate all the things in the luggage you can of course do that but the luggage is in vignettes of aspirational trips to Bora Bora in Amsterdam, and it's it's really about reading to me in for you having this fabulous vacation and oh by the way, you need this luggage to get there as more so than it is features and benefits of the Prada. Scot: [26:51] Absolutely cool thanks for the trip reports I think that was some good stuff like I got trips happening and it wouldn't be a Jason Scott show without. [27:16] So a lot to cover in Amazon news we talked to Jason give us his live report from the Chicago Amazon go store and then a friend of the show we going to get him on here Spencer soap. Yeah he he broke a story where there have been internal talks and I'll Circle back on this about. Amazon potentially opening 3000 Amazon go stores by 2023. Jason: [27:46] I think I might have been like 20/21 I thought it was a relatively short. Scot: [27:51] This is funny because we've been talking on Twitter about you. Just feels like. There are they are opening stores at a pretty good pace and it feels kind of prime now when they they decided with prime now it's go time and then suddenly there was 40 to 60, Prime storage pronounce doors to 3000 is a stretch just kind of getting that real estate I've heard a lot of skeptic say it's impossible while they do that and it figured out how the end of the alcohol sign 3000 Lisa's that fast so I think it will be. I think what could be happening here is your encourage the Amazon meetings to do a lot of brainstorming to write press releases from a future State and I think maybe there's some of that that kind of came up so I'm not sure. Yeah it feels like damn it nailed the format yet I think they're probably won't get a couple more figure it out but you know, when they do on a scale these getting to 3000 I don't think that's impossible. Jason: [28:48] Yeah I'm sort of in the same boat I'm up to mine so for sure. Part of the Amazon methodology when they first pitch new idea they write the six-page memo. Attached to that memo is they write an aspirational press release that they want to be able to issue when the things been successful so for sure there is a press release for Amazon go stores that talks about a mask deployment so. Scot: [29:12] We just open the 3000 store. Jason: [29:15] So that would that would be the exact Spencer one possibility is someone just saw that press release and misunderstood its purpose. The the other side of my brain says Amazon actually is pretty good at keeping secrets and they don't tend to have a lot of unintentional weeks so the fact that this was weed. Partly I believe that probably wasn't completely unauthorized and so, is that because they really are preparing for scale and if so you know I was surprised cuz I wouldn't have thought they nailed the format. [29:53] But you know or is it potentially I had fake I don't know but what I will tell you is, it's absolutely possible possible to open that many stores and Retail in that time. And retailers have done it, in the nineties I work for Blockbuster entertainment we opened a store every 12 hours for my entire 10 year so once you get to a certain scale, like these things are really Temple dies then the the advanced teams are you know just 6 weeks out in front cutting deals on leases and everything Cascades from that and so it. Absolutely possible if they decided to just penciled out and that they needed a big footprint of stores they could run 3000 stores by 2021 now. 3000 stores if this is really can me competing with a convenience store 3000 stores actually probably isn't enough to have a real meaningful business and now that Amazon's a trillion-dollar company. [30:52] You know if there's a million-dollar p&l for each of these 3000 stores like. Arguably isn't a big enough business to get in to be really material to Amazon so we'll have to see. Scot: [31:04] Do you think he'd stores doing a million dollars but what is convenient store to get to take gas out. Jason: [31:09] Yeah I'm trying to and I don't have specific knowledge that this is an estimate based on other types of small format stores, and I would imagine that in the those convenience stores there's a huge standard deviation cuz there's going to be some fast Runners that are easily 10 million dollar stores. If you have 3000 there's there's going to be some snow our stores in there too so to me, you know a million to a couple million per year for many kinds of restaurants would be very good. Scot: [31:41] So million at 3000 is 3 billion so each million is 3 billion so if they did five that be 15 but that's a needle mover for them to hunt. Jason: [31:53] You never like to talk about Revenue you always like to go with the big number. Scot: [31:56] Well then there's a multiple there that yeah so yeah so that that's. Jason: [32:06] That's going to be interesting to watch that would be to meet someone fascinating if that's the brick-and-mortar format that gets. Scale the fastest versus the books or the or you know some information of the grocery pick-up for some of the other things they've done. And a new store format won't will probably talk about in a minute but another piece of online news that we saw from Amazon this. Weaker last week was this new Amazon small business store fronts, and so I thought you might have a POV on that but the gist of it is it's a way for small business that's a 3-piece seller on Amazon to offer a curated collection, of products and have their own sort of landing page and in some ways you'd be where some of our listeners might not, Amazon used to have a Amazon webstore which was essentially. Competed with Yahoo web store and let us small business run their own website on their own URL that's not what this is. Scot: [33:13] Yes in a lot of people depressed confusing these things. That's the problem one of the main problems with Amazon webstore was it had the initials a w s s cousin to the cloud computing AWS, PSO2 Amazon used to have a thing where they would go out and run a store for people it was the downgraded kind of technology that. Your Target and all those guys ran this to me is just really giving a little bit of content to the store owners desk and be types so they can tell them or their story, and they're highlighting some of them and, part of the press release was really starting to thump their chest and say over 50% of the items or the units sold on Amazon or from third parties and there's an integrated TV commercial as well I haven't seen it running. So it feels like a didn't get like a huge I haven't seen on NFL games are in that kind of stuff which of the big spots I'm so don't know where they're running it but I did see the online version so but it is you if your 3-piece seller it is pretty cool to have an Amazon you know out there used to be kind of this dirty secret that some of the stuff you bought from Amazon list of these third parties now Amazon's kind of put you more front center so it felt like a big. If something is change they're pretty dramatically and how they're thinking. Jason: [34:32] And so I I think you sort of app we described it but I have heard people, sort of think of it as a Etsy competitor which is not really right Amazon does sort of have another offering that's more competitive with that seat and then the Jason Delray did Ash Shopify, if they considered it competitive and he had the the sort of typical competitor answer it feels like a little bit of a trap to me. Scot: [34:59] It's a trap. Jason: [35:02] Pictures of Admiral Ackbar. Scot: [35:05] Black bar on it yeah yeah I don't know if it's true or not I mean it is very hard for. Jason: [35:13] Going on Amazon I would use it likely wouldn't make that my only destination on the web like me Amazon has one channel for most people shouldn't be there exclusive Channel. Scot: [35:24] When your Kylie Jenner you can have your own store and not worry about Amazon and you know also comes to you and I'm sure she had a lot of power in their relationship. Promosi small business out there and you start on Amazon and then you're lucky if you get anyone to your website so so yeah yeah I think it makes a lot of sense for four people to embrace it and and, rapper on it a lot of people that's because some of the ones that are highlighting do you have more of car that Homespun handmade kind of provide to him like there's this handmade Candle company that was both on the front page of the store fronts and on the TV commercial I hope those people have a lot of inventory because it felt like they're going to sell out of those handmade candles pretty darn fast. Jason: [36:04] Yeah I was always a problem when you highlight the small businesses right. Scot: [36:08] Couple of quick things Amazon has been obsessed with visual shopping and they've done several kind of things around that so, the the first one is they've had they had something called visual shopping where you can kind of like pick some colors and stuff then they deprecated that, then they have active on the homepage if you look at the top bar I'm always logged in this Prime and I think this is available and non-prime to it'll say new and interesting finds and that's kind of like a Pinterest so you could put together a little you know of Jason's Board of interesting finds of cool gadgets I'm so Scott a Pinterest board, feel to it that I've always thought of new and interesting is kind like their Pinterest competitor have a new one called Scout if you go to amazon.com Scout and it's more of a Instagram meets machine morning to see thumbs up thumb down some stuff and then it's supposedly going to learn about what you like and don't like and and. Pretty quickly after 5 to 10 ups and downs you'll get to some interesting new products that that it learns that you may want so then so that kind of feels like Pinterest Army sorry Instagram so they've got. [37:15] Pinterest and Instagram covered the other big visual thing out there is Snapchat and actually just today announced integration with SNAP, where are you can go and take a snap of the picture and then Snapple use I assume they're using the machine learning a library that Amazon has for Parker Mission so you see a cool celebrity you see Kylie on your way home tonight you take a picture of her sneakers and it will identify them and then show them to you over on Amazon which feels kind of like an affiliate type model so I'm sure there's a rough share there but it is pretty interesting that snap is the front end of an Amazon kind of the backend which is Young so now they have an integration on the snap sides the good kind of, the three visual shopping Technologies covered in a way to different business models which is pretty pretty. Jason: [38:02] No I I would agree the Scout thing was kind of interesting to me I've heard some people describe it as Tinder for shopping. Scot: [38:10] Apple swipe right. Jason: [38:11] Yeah you go get products and go hot or not and they're broken at in the category so you know you you decide you're looking for, home furnishings and then you can say lighting and you get 5 chandeliers and you say like don't like don't like in as you're doing that, the assortments getting curated to visually 2/5 chandeliers that match your taste in so it's it's pretty fun and fast and immediate and they're promising, more categories to come it's slightly reminded me of you go old school on Amazon when they used to mainly sell this, stack of books and video. [38:52] The recommendation logarithm was based on what you bought but of course you could buy a book arm or watch a video that you didn't like and so they act they used to have an interface where you could look at all the stuff you bought and go back and say you liked it or didn't like it, and sort of refine your own recommendations and so if you want to invest some time you can improve it in my mind this felt like, how much more evolved visual version of that so that it's interesting to invent new ways to shop and, Amazon's always been great for the spearfishing but like you know browsing and Discovery has been the Gap so it's it's interesting to see them try new things and it seemed interesting the snap one to me. [39:36] Is a very interesting because a lot of social networks have tried to integrate Commerce and they generally try to do it in a bran friendly way, and like it's not particular brand friendly to say and we're going to sell everything on. Amazon right like when when you want that feature so this is like the Pinterest wins feature which is a visual search capability but then connecting all of those visual searches to Amazon, no other retailers ever going to buy an ad on your platform and so part of me wonders if snap was only able to do this because they sort of are in the Challenger position, Instagram feels like it's getting more of the momentum and so this was, a a big move snap could make but potentially the risk of alienating a lot of other advertiser's. Scot: [40:27] Yes snaps been under pressure and there. Their head of Partnerships left recently and he is a big yeah she was an internet analyst I've known for a while and, I imagine they may have been building some stuff out they realize how hard the backend is and they kind of got the front end working and they just decided to marry them together instead of having to go to all that. One thing that occurred to me as you're talking about they are stuff earlier is Amazon does have an AR functionality and it used to be buried in that so you'd have to go kind of down the sub menu at the hamburger menu down three levels in the camera app now and then update, you have, you have your normal scan barcodes but now you can search with photos is is kind of promoted to a very high level up inside the camera and then also you can do smile codes and then last but not least you could do if you had room so it's right in the camera now so they've they've upgraded the AR View and in the Amazon that up into the camera, which is pretty nursing another part of this visual search is Dave and Kurt are going to take out your Amazon app hit the camera button there's a lot of cool new stuff inside of there to play with now. Jason: [41:32] Yeah I know it's very cool, another big an Amazon announcement as if they didn't have enough is they had a president last week and they launched I want to say 14 new products with Echo embedded in them. Scot: [41:47] Yeah and I was really excited for you cuz I know you are really big on the Amazon button e things and they had an amazonbasics microwave and it has a button on there where you can order more popcorn. And I just envisioned you and having that installed by now have you bought and installed one of them. Jason: [42:05] So the challenges I have a 3 year old son that's where and how to talk to all the Echoes and. Would constantly be running the microwave if it was too in closer to the ground so I feel like it's probably a bad combination of might like Echo cook popcorn with nothing in the microwave will be happening a lot in my house. Scot: [42:26] I saw a lot of people scoff at this but you know the the microwave is a challenging thing so every every microwave you come across is different, and yeah sure if you're going to do a minute heat up or something it's not a big deal but for my microwave whenever I want to defrost something or whatever I have to take out the little guy and there's this complex you know, non-intuitive side of things you have to do where is it be really cool to say you know Alexa you know heat up this pizza and it just kind of knows that okay you need the heat at 50% and so it's I think there's actually something there that that actually is a time-saver to be able to say that for the microwave and have it kind of decode oh you know I need to go 50% power so the cheese doesn't get all rubbery or whatever it is that did microwaves do, so I don't think a lot of people realize that that it's doing that behind the scenes there's there's a fair amount of complexity as I read more about it, in there about what it's going to do with the voice that. I think it's pretty interesting. Jason: [43:21] No I I think there is some very real world use cases a lot of the space saver microwaves don't have a numeric keypad anymore and so you know now you have this. Awkward, dial that you know is sort of variable speed that you have to use to set microwave for 3 and 1/2 minutes and so like voice is the perfect way to have a minimal space footprint but still have no easy low-friction access to, you know all of those features that often don't get used in the microwave because they're too hard to find. Scot: [43:53] When when I was excited about is in my car I can I can put an echo dot in there and. It takes a little works at to connect it to the Bluetooth every time is it's not like Auto connected to the Bluetooth, but it's a really cool Auto interface but you know I don't think my OEM is ever going to have Alexa and the dash certainly they'll be some people that do that some people are brought into the Apple ecosystem some people are building their own so one of the projects I was excited about was called Echo Auto so it's kind of like an echo. But I think the Bluetooth going to be more persistent and smart and connect better but also has it kind of lays flat and I think you can velcro it to your dash and it also has eight little microphones on top so you know they're saying that it'll be able to hear inside of a car better, sex can be a pretty interesting auto experience that's why the one I was most excited about, but sadly I know you can't pre-order it unless you have an invitation so all the Amazon people listening I know I would love an invitation I don't know about Jason, Jason Jason would probably love an invitation to. Jason: [44:56] For sure without doubting you for your fancy Fleet of automobiles I'm just going to say that your OEM probably wouldn't add an Alexa interface unless and until Jeff Bezos divested blue origin. Scot: [45:10] Yes. Jason: [45:11] But there were a bunch of other products they improve the core products so they did another iteration of like the view in the. The View has a is a smaller footprint, overall but a bigger screen so I have a couple of the 7-inch devices and use them in my house and so now the, 10 feels more appealing they have a clock which it's an analog clock and I. I don't have a place to put this but I really want this, so it is a traditional analog clock that looks like a standard kind of office wall clock, when you set timers which is one of the things I'm most frequently do with the echoes in my house they have sort of stealthy LEDs around the rim of the clock, that show you the progress of the timer so you can see him visually how much, time you have left in a timer but the feature that I think is most cool which is super lame is when daylight savings happen, the hands on the analog clock actually moved to automatically change your analog clock for daylight savings. Scot: [46:17] You give me staying up you're going to get this or you have to stay up till 3 a.m. my time does it still 3 a.m. in Chicago or is it to him. Jason: [46:23] I couldn't tell you because I have no analog clocks and all the digital lens automatically adjust. Scot: [46:27] You can stay up all night watching and waiting to see what it does like this it just doesn't stand still for an hour and our plastic depends on if we're going forward or backward this is this is we're going to do a live report. The world's best book still nothing happening. Jason: [46:45] Rest of it we have some grass growing. My big thing I felt was interesting about all these releases is you know we talked about it CES this year that Alexa was embedded in like five thousand devices are 4,000 devices into, there was a school thought that they made these initial products to see the market and they're happy to sell these core products but that, they were you know trying to be very appealing to oems to get embedded in a lot of other products and so it's somewhat surprising to see them. Expanding the line of first-party products that they in bed in themselves and arguably. That could make it less appealing for other microwave ovens to license the tech or. They could make that the must have desirable feature that then entices other opm's to take the future. Scot: [47:37] Yeah I got a fire watching the video that they were. There's been a couple microwaves actually integrated with with Alexa and I get the feeling they're underwhelmed and I think they wanted to say here's where the bar needs to be you no have it, be able to talk about different recipes and talk about you know defrost my vegetables and have it understand that stuff. I think they're frustrated that allow that Williams to do that kind of thing. No some of the commands for like Alexa run the oven at 50% power which is I think they were trying to make more of an intuitively than than though instead. Jason: [48:10] No I think I think you could have hit the nail on the head with that I did feel to mention one other interesting product they have them or audiophile. Alexa now so you can I get an Alexa with a. Remote subwoofer which more directly causes us to compete with like the Sonos is of the world. Scot: [48:31] Recode pregnancy. Jason: [48:33] I teased earlier in our Amazon segment that we were going to talk about another new retail format from Amazon and that format is a pop-up shop that Amazon and Good Housekeeping, just opened at Mall of America. So this a curated assortment of products from Good Housekeeping and they all have smile codes which you mention which is Amazon's proprietary 3D barcode and you scan any of those smile codes, to be able to order those products from Amazon. Scot: [49:08] Cold sores a kind of touch and feel and then you can't really buy from there you have to buy them online. Jason: [49:12] Yeah my sense I have not visited yet Mall of America for a long time with the largest mall in the US it's so realize that status but it's this huge huge destination Mall in Minneapolis. Scot: [49:25] I've been there Camp Snoopy as big giant thing in the middle. Jason: [49:28] Yeah that's an amusement park in the middle of the mall I I've spent weeks Sweeping in that mall we don't we don't need to rehash those. Scot: [49:35] So we'll save that for another podcast. Jason: [49:36] Those stories but so an interesting new new partnership as Amazon you know partners with more these curators create you know novel newcomers experiences. Scot: [49:50] Okay that was Amazon news and looking at 9 Amazon news I like to keep track of everyone's holiday forecast cuz we're sitting here knocking on the door of October and so we Deloitte was out our good friend Casey and they are at 17 to 22% incest pretty robust with a 19 and a half midpoint internet retailer came out this week at 15 and a half and then sucharita was on and she talked about how they haven't formalize our forecast but she was thinking kind of 14 to 16% and she kind of highlighted that the the Grinch this year could be these tariffs and there is, creasing noise even since we had to treat on like literally 3 or 4 days ago you know Walmart is really kind of banging the drama and there's a lot of people out there saying, hey this this could be a pretty big head when coming in the holiday so we'll have to see how that plays out. Jason: [50:42] There's a part of this could be a scare tactic but they're saying in some categories that does terrorist could drive 10 to 25% pricing keep creases in some category. Scot: [50:52] And it's all the dollar store but what are they going to do. Jason: [50:56] Yeah that would that would obviously. Scot: [50:56] Scot a dollar 15 store doesn't have the same ringtone. Jason: [51:00] It doesn't but if you shop at our store you'll find a lot of not. I don't already sorry spoiler work yeah. There was another big acquisition in my world, on Friday I want to say and that was that a Dobby has been very active lately and Acquisitions we talked about their acquisition of Magento the e-commerce platform on Friday they acquired martello. Which is a big marketing automation platform that particularly excels in the B2B space. Scot: [51:38] That was a was a big deal in it how do you think that's going to is that kind of tying into Magento one report I saw so now that adobe owns Magento there's a lot more Wall Street people talking about it, I'm in every report I read is not very favorable towards Magento and it talks about them as a share loser to Shopify Bigcommerce, now a lot of that's anecdotal so do these Channel checks and there is kind of hearing you know if they'll be at these still be at the shop. To hear Rumblings Aid you agree with the B is this some kind of a very trying to stitch together a cloud in an interesting way because sales horses gut you know Cloud for everything they've got you Noah house Cloud car Cloud marketing Cloud sales Cloud 9 Stein cloud. Is Adobe playing catch up what's going on. Jason: [52:27] Infernus to Adobe I'm not even sure I would say they're playing catch-up they me depending on how you look at it, Head Start of lead sales for Salesforce from day one was Cloud oriented with a single product right so they they, yeah unquestionably dominated the cloud CRM model in eventually put a world of hurt on the, the traditional on-prem CRM folks and they've expanded to have what they now call is a marketing Cloud right so their marketing cloud, then they added exacttarget which was their sort of direct marketing thing and they since added a bunch of pieces to the the Salesforce marketing cloud. So they printed to me and where that actually is at sorry to be complicated a second Cloud for sales. Scot: [53:18] Is Commerce club. Jason: [53:19] It's a Commerce cloud and said they've Salesforce about to Commerce put Solutions, demandware and Cloud trays which is more B2B so that's in the Commerce Cloud Suites you got a bunch of these marketing activation tools in the the marketing cloud, Adobe has probably had a marketing Cloud longer than Salesforce and also through acquisition they acquired a bunch of, they would put their analytics Solutions in their CMS solution their campaign management solution and they have a bunch of customer data product, so I would actually argue adobe's had a more comprehensive. Suite of capabilities and what they call the marketing Cloud then Salesforce. [54:09] One of the tools in that sweet is called campaign manager and that probably is not the absolute strongest product in the sweet and it's primarily focused on b2c, outbound Communications and so Marketo bolsters that capability and sort of experience and in the B2B. I would agree that that in general Magento is a share loser to some of the cloud-based Solutions most notably Shopify but I would say, an area of strength for Magento has probably been on the B side of Commerce in so you could look at that from Adobe and say, hey the marketing cloud has been pretty successful and well penetrated in the The Big Brand b2c space. Between Marketo and Magento. Probably bolsters their treads in the B2B space and you know potentially on the longer tail a little bit more. Scot: [55:07] That was way deeper than I was. Jason: [55:09] Yeah I'll see a lot of my Adobe friends in my travels this week so that I'm sure they're going to tell me if I got that wrong. Scot: [55:15] Quotes of this was also a big week because we're both Apple Fanboys and lot of new stuff out there's new watches and phones and you had a fun Journey on your phone's I'm sure listeners would love to hear about. I had one where I I did the whole get up at 3 and was disappointed cuz launch day was the 21st and then I got to like 28th October 5th ship date, but being good under-promise over-deliver I got my Apple my new phone today. Came in 5 days earlier which was exciting and I was frantically installing and upgrading and so I got the x-maxx and I'm really happy with it it's got a longer battery doesn't feel ginormous I feel like I'm back to that plus format. I also have a. Pixel 2 and it feels like it's almost the exact same format as up until 2 so it's been good and then I also got the new generation 4 watch sadly it does not have the ECG yet it's coming soon, but the thing they did those genius there is they got rid of the bubbles and it just feels like the data display is, in a 50% larger so there's a lot more information on the watch which is which is kind of neat and it seems like the battery life there is dramatically improved tell us about your your phone experience. Jason: [56:31] Well first let me just paint a word picture for our listeners during this entire podcast on our face-to-face and Scott has mainly been playing with the Amazon VR feature on his giant Max phone and flashing his humongous Apple watching me. So I have some serious Apple Envy as we sit here I'm sad to say I had to replace my Apple watch 3 months ago so I did not pull the trigger on a Gen 4, I knew after I. Scot: [57:00] Is your screen cracked. Jason: [57:01] No not yet but it may be by the time I get home tonight. Scot: [57:05] Girl accident. Jason: [57:07] After I saw it I was going to have some screen envy and I I certainly just watching you and having some screen Envy, luckily there's a 24-hour Flagship Apple Store about 300 yards from where we're sitting right now so I can fix it on the way home and I don't think they're in a constrained Supply situation I think you can walk in and buy a watch. Scot: [57:28] Sounds like a fun trip that we can report on next week. Jason: [57:31] So I got up in the middle of the night in the middle of shop.org to place my. IPhone upgrade order at the earliest possible moment and I also pay a little bit of extra money in this Amazon upgrade program because you generally have. Preference for the new stuff. Scot: [57:50] The Apple subscription program. Jason: [57:52] Apple subscription program includes AppleCare so if you're going to buy AppleCare anyway it actually and you were for sure going to replace your phone every year, it actually does a pencil out to be a decent economic deal but the main reason I do what I don't want to get anyone is because, I want to make sure I get that new phone day one because frankly all my clients on day two are going to be disappointed if I show up without the new Apple product. Scot: [58:20] You have a secret it says retailgeek right on your laptop you have to I mean you at the bar very high. Jason: [58:25] Yeah so I got up early, finish my pre order was promised a launch-day phone I was traveling on launch day I sent that and it signature required so, I sent a signature required form to be put out in my house while I was gone somewhere justix went awry on that and the the phone didn't get there so I came home Friday night to a sorry we missed you. Scot: [58:52] Sad. Jason: [58:53] The saddest worst customer experience although it's my fault it still is the most disappointing customer experience you can possibly have your want your phone was here but now it's not. Scot: [59:05] Wow wow wow. Jason: [59:07] So jump on the UPS website change the delivery address to some UPS lockers very close to my house, and get it rescheduled for Saturday delivery so now I don't need a signature or sometime Saturday UPS is going to drop this at a walker that's half a mile from my house so I'll get it into the day Saturday still in time for my trip this week. Saturday 6 I get the exciting note that is in the locker walk over to the locker the locker opens and is empty. Want Walmart so that was very disconcerting turns out the driver made a mistake. They delivered it to the locker wait tonight and so I I did in fact like my phone, moments before we started this podcast but unlike you did not have time to activate it yet so I also got a big capacity Max and then and I'm excited for that as well. Scot: [1:00:08] So you know we ordered about the same time and you pay all that extra for the subscription I got my phone earlier. Jason: [1:00:13] Yes I mean the main takeaway from this whole story is Scott is better than Jay. Scot: [1:00:17] It just luck of the draw. Jason: [1:00:21] But I will say there were a couple things they were either surprises in this more the OS X launch and the hardware or that I just don't have missed during announcements but there's two kind of, relevant features to Commerce, so we did mention when the OS 12 operating system was iOS 12 was launched that there's a new improved AR library in it called AR Kit 2.0 what I missed, is AR Kit 2.0 that you do AR in the web browser no app required and so I'm that's the capability that are friends at Sea car using, to watch that so in general I don't recommend retailer spend a bunch of money on an app, because there's a lot of friction to getting users to download the app I do IKR experiences for a lot of in-store retailers and so now I get the best of both worlds my retail clients can implement, the in-store AR shopping features without requiring an app so that that's actually very exciting, and then the Easter egg in the hardware is the phones that you're holding the access model so that excess in the excess Max which is not how Apple want you to say it by the way they want you to say 10s. Yes in 10s maxed and coming soon 10 r. [1:01:46] All have an improved NFC chip over the previous generation, and what's exciting about this new NFC chip is a, it has a passive reader in it so the original phones with NFC chips they can really only be used for Apple pay and you couldn't use them for other experiences, now we have a complete implementation of NFC, and one of the things that means is for example a store could put an NFC tag in every fact tag in the store, and if you just wave your phone you don't have to launch an app or do anything you just have to have the phone unlocked if you just wave your phone over that tag. You will go to a web page that can have supplemental product information for all those pages so now we can have NFC tags that we put in our house to like, trigger scenes for virtue we can use them for shopping all sorts of capabilities in the NFC stack that we didn't used to have now with this new hardware we did so I actually bought. In NFC writer in a bunch of tags to start playing with us and they came even though I didn't get the phone so. Scot: [1:03:00] What are the most fun apps and if you look on Twitter iOS 12 I think comes with measure so you can go measure all kinds of random stuff there's always funny people pictures of people measuring like their cat's tail and all kinds of interesting thing so it's a it's a cool way to experience they are. Have a lot of fun measuring stuff. Jason: [1:03:19] I will say this some of the third-party measuring apps that use it still better than measure but it's fun to have a native Native program. Scot: [1:03:27] Call any other fan boy stuff. Jason: [1:03:31] Nope nope that was it again I think there's going to be another announcement with some iPads and then there's probably at least one model of iPad on my list for that so I'm. Scot: [1:03:43] One thing that we watch Pretty closely is the stock market to see what's going on in IPOs and there was an e-commerce IPO this week There's a European luxury Marketplace called farfetch and they went public on the New York Stock Exchange and this one was interesting date they price a little bit below the range but they end up raising 875 million which is not too shabby and the stock, October 50% on on diepio day does farfetch Marketplace lol you probably haven't heard of evaluation of 6.2 billion, be billion there revenues are about 400 million a year which we know that's a very good multi, but they're growing north of 50% year-over-year so that's why they are commanding a really good multiple there so it should be interesting to see what they do with those phones or largely European I'm in focused on luxury you can imagine more International expansion and maybe even a push into the US that's what I would do where I European luxury Marketplace. Jason: [1:04:43] The Ed suddenly found a lot of excess capital. Scot: [1:04:47] And did not this time I thought it was interesting we've talked a lot about a rvr on the show we did a deep dive you and I are kind of hobbyist on this and what did we miss in VR at least is that killer app, so I'm a big Elon Musk fan and he announced kind of surprisingly a SpaceX, project funded by a Japanese billionaire where they are going to go on a moon travel servngo launch from Earth on the bfr the big Dokken rocket and they're going to take that puppy and circle the moon and then come back and he announced on Twitter I use a mouse with air quotes because. Alive not a hundred percent sure he's serious about this but he generally is like you know what he says he's going to solve things that are not flamethrowers but they really are they did that, the boring companies real most the stuff that you think is a joke end up being real he did say they're going to live stream in 4k you were going to have series of cameras mounted on the spaceship and they're going to Live cast of er to imagine of your experience where you. [1:05:57] Be on the spaceship and looking around as it goes around the Moon bee that could be the killer app and I'm I'm curious to see what headsets he's going to work with and know you'll on, probably would decide the ones out there aren't up to spec so maybe they'll have to be a boring headset or a SpaceX headset or something that comes along with it so they'll be fun to watch and kind of out there, pretty super geeky. Jason: [1:06:21] You and I could be at the geekiest launch party ever for that product as weak sit in a dark room with her. Scot: [1:06:27] If you see the only sold two of them and it's the same guys that bought the Fire Phone. Jason: [1:06:35] Exactly there is a retail tie in there that the Japanese billionaire you know I think he sold like, 8 seats for this first flight in the Japanese billionaire bought all 8 he's a retail billionaire and he runs a

Jason Scott show listeners receive a 10% discount when they register using the code js-10 that's js-10 and we will put a link to the registration in the show notes where you can enter that code, we hope to see everyone there Jason as we mentioned that we've had a pretty big milestone here with 100 episodes. Jason:  [1:31] I know I know I have to be honest when we started this 100 episodes we're not on my radar screen I had to read a podcast primer and it mentioned that like. If you get past episode 7 you've sort of survived the mortality rate so I think my big goal was, was 7 and I've since then read that the average podcast on iTunes only ever gets 24 episodes. Scot & Guests:  [1:56] Yeah yeah and we officially have more episodes in listeners now just kidding we actually we actually. Jason:  [2:01] Yeah that's that's because I have a small family if I had a bigger family we'd have more listeners. Scot & Guests:  [2:05] That's actually it's kind of fun to break down some numbers so we started this I don't know about you but I really didn't have any expectations I just thought we would do it for, the fun aspect of it and looking back it's kind of, ballon my expectations I would share admittedly low so we've had over 200,000 downloads since we started the show, the record months had over 18,000 that was over the summer in June cuz we had so much Amazon news going on, the most popular episode is the June 17th hot take we did which is episode 89 where we talked about the Amazon and Whole Foods acquisition and then as reminder for every one we actually started this whole Adventure on November 13th 2015 with episode 1, do you have a quiz for you Jason how many how many episodes have we recorded. Jason:  [2:57] This will be our 101 including the one I screwed up and we didn't get to publish. Scot & Guests:  [3:04] Boomkin answer inside info but yeah 100 episode soon so pretty exciting. Jason:  [3:09] I share your Your Enthusiasm seems like we should be doing something special for the hundred show. Scot & Guests:  [3:17] Yeah yeah and couple months ago we were pretty good at math so we kind of saw this coming on the calendar and we started thinking about what we should do to celebrate a hundred episodes. Jason:  [3:28] Yep and obviously one of the first things that come up is is with many listeners know, chupitos is constantly hounding us to be on the show and so for while we're thinking hey that's a perfect opportunity to finally Jeff on the show but then you know we thought about it and the reality is this show is for the listeners it's not really about the fancy guest so we turned him down. Scot & Guests:  [3:51] Yeah you know we, Basils cuz of stuff to talk about both at listeners who who would care so what we did is we decided to really kind of turn the microphone around, so we we went to Twitter and and looked at the social engagement that we get and we really active Community here for the show that we really enjoy and, what causes a lot of back and forth and it went challenges us and recommends things and ask questions so we we thought what we would do is have a listener appreciation event in celebration of episode 100, so we somewhat randomly picked three listeners from different geographies all over the world if you will these folks work at all kinds of different size companies and have different kinds of rolls and we invite them tonight to be on the show, to hear about their e-commerce experience and where they think e-commerce is going and just kind of turn it over to the listeners for, for a bit and give everyone a little bit of break from hearing from us for the last hundred episodes. Jason:  [4:50] Yeah yeah I'm super excited about this idea and you know frankly pleasantly shocked that it when we invited accepted our invitation so Scott who's the first guest. Scot & Guests:  [5:02] Well Jason let's kick it off excited to have our first guest here for the listener appreciation show we know him best by his Twitter handle which is RADS radz and that's at radz mpofu on Twitter, what's up rats not much just wrapping up the day here how about you. We're super excited we hit 100 episodes Jason didn't think we'd make it past 5 and I had the long money on going the long haul in the sinks the red 100 we're pretty excited. Yeah I have to say that I would have to agree with you because when I first remember seeing the Jason and Scott Show come out I was just like oh my gosh I have needed this for so long that was like I'm starting my retail career. Yeah I told you guys 100 I don't know why Jason would say that, check two boxes for us here for the first time you're you're the first kind of super listener we've had on the show and then also you're the first International correspondent so you're you're not in the United States of America. Nope I'm in the Toronto or the six as Drake would say okay and is it snowing there. No not yet but it is raining a lot okay interesting summer where it's just been. I bet Seattle and BC weather where this raining a lot. Jason:  [6:26] And in the long run does that mean it's good or bad for the ice wine this year. Scot & Guests:  [6:31] No idea. Jason:  [6:34] Those are mine I mainly focus on the food of every venue so for me Toronto is ice wine and poutine even though I know pooting is really Montreal but you can get it in in Toronto. Scot & Guests:  [6:47] Yeah that's true but you forgot you got to check out Uncle tetsu's cheesecake as well as smoke smoke signals barbecue those are two really good spots those in the true true true Toronto Staples. Jason:  [7:01] Nice I am adding those to the list that the show has already paid off for me. So Reds you mentioned that you you were start listen to show you were starting a retail career you want to tell us a little bit more about what that was and what you're doing now. Scot & Guests:  [7:20] Yeah for sure so even though like rewind a little bit vacuum before that I actually started my. E-commerce sales career in at a company called Ashley Bridget, so I was there when we were still like in a basement making maybe if you know a few hundred thousand dollars and a scale to over a million so that. Being part of that company like they double grabbing use like every year since after that but that experience I think really. Help me get to become a part of tulip which is where I started started my retail. Retail career that don't know a tulip was founded by the founder of well. CA. Oh yeah yeah yeah he was involved in doing that as well so yeah I started my career at tulip that was in. March 2015 and I think a few months after that you guys started the Jason and Scott show and then where is your career taking you now. So now shifted to a company called pagerduty and a lot of people especially in the it the it and devops were all day they definitely know about picture to be it's almost like a household name. We were actually mentioned on Silicon Valley recently some I think it was Guilfoyle he told the Nash that he was on pager to the until we got back at the house he was leaving to go somewhere. But yeah basically Patriot Duty Autumn eats the incident resolution process from end-to-end so a lot of that stuff is being done manually right now so you know I have like an Excel spreadsheet. [9:01] I'm the psychos down you call somebody on it for there's too many modern tools to. Really get the key incidents that you need to resolve resolved so page Diddy animates all of that. Google every e-commerce site wants to be up 24/7 so I think you know you say you're out of the retail business but I think you just kind of dawn to a broader addressable market and I'm sure our vehicle it's probably interesting to your folks. Oh yeah I know definitely we actually just it's funny that you mention that we just started. Retail all of my coworkers are all pinion me for people's contacts so yeah definitely I am still very much plugged into the retail game only doing it through all my coworker. Get in touch with me get in touch with retail Executives Through Me podcast you can recommend they want to learn more. It's how I've already been said I've been telling them don't worry I would cover. Jason:  [9:56] We we have a vested interest in pagerduty tracking the retail Market because you know it's it's going to be sad to go to the industry shows like shop.org and not see you. Scot & Guests:  [10:07] Exactly I think you needed to tell our CEO and her had some marketing that Jennifer Tejada if you ever end up listen to this please we should go to shop talk next year. Jason:  [10:16] Exactly. Scot & Guests:  [10:17] Shop.org. Jason:  [10:20] That both good shows both good shows. Scot & Guests:  [10:22] Oh yeah both really good shows. Jason:  [10:24] The actually have a photo of you and it I think act technically it's from neither I think it was probably from NRF and you you had your then employers Logo shaved into the side of your head. Scot & Guests:  [10:36] Oh yeah okay okay I thought you were going to go in a different direction with that there's another photo of someone who's on stage didn't Maeve look like me I don't know maybe but that was. That was that was in January and I think Dominique actually mentioned that from bonobos on on the previous show I think I got to shut up because of that. Although we never saw you put Jason and Scott show logo in your in your head. Jason:  [11:09] That's going to take a more talented Barber than the to it. Scot & Guests:  [11:13] I fixed I was always thinking maybe just a j plus s but I don't do it at all. Jason:  [11:21] Yeah I know you need portraits of two portly dudes. Scot & Guests:  [11:24] Two rats two quick ones Have you listened to every episode. I wish I could say that I have but. The last one that I listen to since I've been ramping up at pagerduty was are the one with the Accel partners and then one that was either just before that or just after that was with. The CEO of the CEO of Kohl's and ModCloth I remember listening to those when so I think I'm about 20 episodes behind at this point. Cool you'll have to just drive to Florida and you could pick them all up. Yeah exactly exactly or I'll do it on my next plane trip to San Francisco. [12:10] What were what were a couple of your favorite shows so I think my favorite show obviously I can't, I can't not do it but Danza episode on bonobos that was my favorite one but also the ones with Rob Schmaltz from Talbots as well as Faisal masud, I'm from Staples, those were like really those are I think those are probably with my top three favorite ones all the a lot of the retail executive. Interviews were like I'm on my favorite ones those ones you know I got to learn so much about you know what's going on in retail and all the changes that if you know what happened this year and I'm sure that will continue so I think those are all my favorite ones. Jason:  [12:56] Very cool that being said any as one of our super listeners were we're always looking to make the show better anything you feel like we could be doing better or any tips for things we should think about trying. Scot & Guests:  [13:10] So I thought about this and. I think what you guys have done is really cool you know you have the Deep Dives as well as. The the retail executive interviews so I'd love to see maybe a little bit of a panel you know between and I'll maybe not people that are like opposing and Views but would love to find out. Maybe get like the behind-the-scenes story from what happened at Sears maybe not like. Anything like bad that happened but like to know where did. They live like missile I'm so like maybe a previous executive from there and then you know maybe get somebody from. Walmart or one of the opening or tomorrow off and coming retail brands. Could have done better or there now fallen by the wayside in the ones that are doing really well and see if they can. Meet in the middle and what can be done. [14:13] Where do you where do you see the future of retail and e-commerce. I think right now it's still very much in a state of upheaval. Get out like I'm actually keeping tabs of all the retailers that either went belly-up or like we're struggling really. Really tough out there was like it's the year started off with like BCBG and then the Limited, then actually remember seeing HMV Yonge and Dundas Square here in Toronto that's kind of like the Union Square Toronto onto the San Francisco people out there so I remember seeing that one shut down as well and then all American Apparel. I think all of these a lot of these retail Brands I'm hoping it doesn't continue but it looks like it well I think there's still going to be a lot more. A lot more unfortunate seems like that I put on top of that too kind of. You know balance that I would say that there might even be more consolidation that's going to happen at a lot of people are saying that it might not happen but from. What we've seen from Walmart this year with the acquisition of Moosejaw and the novo's band also more recently with some of the shoe retailers I think. Michael Kors just acquired Jimmy Choo and then on top of that Vince Camuto was acquired by although or vice versa so yeah I think there's definite going to be a lot more retailers that are. Going under if they don't figure out how to go digital and no kind of modernize their with their in-store experience and then on top of that. Jason:  [15:50] That's very cool I don't want to get one question in that we've actually ask every guest but Scott keeps making me edit the answer out so so hopefully for the 100th episode I'll finally get to get it in there. Would you say that you like Jason a little better than Scott or way better than Scott. Scot & Guests:  [16:10] I would say that the two of you I hold you both very near and dear my heart and there's no way I could pick them from the two of you. Jason:  [16:17] So you lied you're willing to be honest about everything else and then you I on that one alright. Scot & Guests:  [16:22] Good answer he's he's texting me right now saying that I'm his favorite. You weren't supposed to say that I have a kind of sales question which is you're there in Canada in Toronto and your imagine. You have territories that are boom across the continent is it hard to be in the sales rep in candidates Ellington us or doesn't feel different at all than if you were in New York or something. No I don't think it's that big it's that different at all I think it actually might even play to your advantage we're kind of seen as the we had this running joke on my previous company and to love that, everybody always sauce in the in the states as the friendly Canadians we are always just really do a comedy versus you know kind of like that. I don't want to generalize but you know the ones that play hard ball in New York or something like that so I definitely plays to word Vantage I would say that it's probably tougher to sell, in Canada versus outside of Canada Canadians sometimes don't like buying from Canadians I will say that much. Jason:  [17:29] Interesting I feel like we do have the perception that that Canadians are super friendly I mean it it's like I'm sorry a sort of a catch phrase for Canadians. Scot & Guests:  [17:39] Yeah I know right I actually had was made fun of in an Uber I took Uber pool for one of the first times, on a recent business trip and the gentleman the back just what he found out that it was from Canada he was just like, or you going to say I'm sorry a lot and even put on the Canadian accents it's definitely known across America. Jason:  [18:03] I totally get it this may offend you but I am frequently mistaken as a Canadian that people feel like I have a Canadian accent. [18:13] Which I have never lived in Canada but. Scot & Guests:  [18:17] Can you say a boat. Jason:  [18:18] I definitely can go a boat but that's because you know did a lot of work in Minneapolis which is little known fact but it's actually north of Canada is a lot of Minneapolis. Scot & Guests:  [18:28] Yeah yeah I've heard that. Jason:  [18:30] Culturally I used to make that joke and then I married a woman from Detroit and I warned that Detroit actually is. Scot & Guests:  [18:37] Canada. Jason:  [18:39] You you drive south to go to Windsor to drink when you're 18 that's the whole that's all gig when you grow up in Detroit apparently. Scot & Guests:  [18:46] Yeah yeah I've heard a lot of people say that and even on the opposite end, back in I'd say what the seventies and eighties a lot of people would drive down from Toronto and Windsor to the states to go check out Hip Hop shows because there was nothing in Canada. Jason:  [19:03] Wow certainly not true anymore Toronto is like that got a lot of great Hip Hop. Scot & Guests:  [19:08] Yeah yeah Drake in the weekend and all those guys. Jason:  [19:14] Very cool what was red we greatly appreciate your. Royal falling and the suggestions you sent all along and we look forward to getting you back in the industry and getting you all caught up on the show so thanks very much for being part of the episode 100. Scot & Guests:  [19:33] Yeah thanks a lot for having me guys and hopefully I'll sing me up a lot more retail shows I'm going to use this as leverage internally at pagerduty. Awesome thanks for as we really appreciate it. Okay Jason are next listener on listener and 100 is Kevin Harmon I've known Kevin 415 of the longest term. Ebayers I've met I think if we met at one of the early eBay live shows and he has been a huge fan of the show welcome to the show Kevin. Text Jason how are you guys. Jason:  [20:14] We are terrific 100 episode what could be better. Scot & Guests:  [20:19] Boom that's right yeah so yeah we really appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to join us so I'll let Jason Kick It Off. Jason:  [20:29] Yeah so Kevin Scott mention you been a long time eBay so do you want to give us the the background about how you got into the account Biz and what you're doing today. Scot & Guests:  [20:40] Sure I've been an e-commerce for a long time I think 2001 is when we started and for about 10 years I stayed in the media side we sold DVDs and CDs and video games and books. On eBay and Amazon other places did that for a long time and for some weird reason books and CDs and DVDs of again stop selling so well so. We moved on to another couple things are doing then and then now what we do is I have another company that sells clothing and books now. Jason:  [21:16] Very cool and predominately as a Marketplace seller. Scot & Guests:  [21:20] Yes 100% so we're sort of you know eBay phds Amazon phds we know a lot about both and we do the best we can. Jason:  [21:31] Nice and are you mostly focus on North America so those are the two two big platforms for you. [21:38] Gotcha and we do often talk about the Walmart marketplace as well if you looked at that at all or. Scot & Guests:  [21:46] Yeah we are looking into that Walmart in and Jed as well so we think that that might be a pretty viable saying coming down the road here. Cool so I know you listen to a lot of episodes you can listen to every episode I listen to. Show me episodes of the Jason I'm going to call you out on this I think you said that welcome to the Jason's not show about 6 times now. I didn't even catch that. Jason:  [22:24] That's a special service to the fans that I give to that the loyalist. Scot & Guests:  [22:28] Yep. Jason:  [22:31] That's all I mean to Beyonce it's a it's a Freudian slip my other podcast is called the Jason and snot show. Scot & Guests:  [22:38] Oh that's so strange it's for its for ents. Jason:  [22:40] Deaf deaf. Scot & Guests:  [22:42] What are several times I know it's hard to pick but what are a couple of your favorite shows. I think my favorite one was the one with Melissa Burdick from the Mars agency just because you know my Amazon experience and that she seemed, super knowledgeable about Amazon and it was a really good conversation you guys had with her I really enjoyed the the whole thing about you know crap which is hilarious. It was good crap joke the most I have to have like 6 I can't listen that fast normally get pumped up. Yes you super knowledgeable. Jason:  [23:25] And since we're talking about her I should give her a plug she's actually no longer with the Mars agency Melissa and another of our guests. Have started their own business which is now called the laying verdict which is of an Amazon consultancy so that's Andrea way right Scott am I remembering correctly. Scot & Guests:  [23:47] Yeah I think they should call it like Mel B and Andrea or something help her but I didn't ask me I was debating with Scott. Just trying to find an end and acronym for a crap for that. Amazon Canada and I can't for the great ones got didn't like it but I might tell you guys anyway which is it's it's not crap its poop which is probably only offline profit. Jason:  [24:13] Okay I'll. Scot & Guests:  [24:15] PG-13 know you're gone now. Jason:  [24:22] Well you know. One of the things we're always trying to do is improve the show and so as a one of our best listeners that is heard the majority of our shows any feedback you have anything we should be doing different or the drugs you nuts. Scot & Guests:  [24:40] Know the address to the Scott unbridled enthusiasm for Amazon domination. Minutes I wish I was more Counterpoint to that every once in awhile it's. It's cool to watch a hurricane make landfall not sure unless you want to people on the land as falling on butt. I think it'd be great to have like a I don't know what chat room or I'll take take live Twitter questions except her a little more often just just just involve your audience. Jason:  [25:13] Yeah I know that's great feedback we definitely are looking for ways it's actually one of the the deficiencies of the podcast format is you know. We don't have a way for example to email all of our listeners and get questions or those sorts of things do you have to use a parallel to like Facebook or Twitter and you know it. A very loyal but small subset of our podcast listeners are following us on those other platform so. Love to find more ways to engage more customers and get more feedback but that is only a great suggestion I do feel the need to slightly defend us though. Totally hear you on the Amazon world domination and I would love to be the the Counterpoint more loudly. But I continue to be shocked I work with all these. Our big Fortune 100 retailers and it's still more often than not that I walk into a retailer that dramatically underestimates Amazon as the competition and so like. They absolutely have flaws in their absolutely ways to thrive in in the market against them in all those sorts of things but it still turns out that like more of the people in our industry then I would expect. Underestimate them rather than overestimate them so so you know maybe we err on the side of hitting that a little hard but I, I often feel like I have to be in evangelist for a half serious at threat they are so much so that one of my biggest clients that they think they have a funny nickname for me they call me Paul Revere. Scot & Guests:  [26:48] Know he was right I mean the that is actually very amazing. When you see me look at what I've done I mean they're an amazing amazing company that has effort on their own set of rules they know that. I start unique in the world and yeah they're gone disrupt everything sooner or later probably sooner. That's a good transition you you've been common the marketplace Biz 4. Pussy 2001 you 15 20 years what are some of the big trends that you've seen in and where do you where do you think the marketplace part of the world goes. I think the marketplace continues but it seems to me like it's a lot easier to start a business than it used to be for sure you know 15 years ago when we started that was quite an effort. And now with all the tools available now it's a lot easier to get into a business but I also think that there's a lot of consolidation going on so I think it's harder to grow a business and you know grow into a large business in particular. I think because these large sights Amazon Facebook. Google the beginning on more and more of the entire end and process and so the more pieces they don't have that the lesson Advantage you have. I even if you saw on those platforms it can still sometimes be a disadvantage so. I think e-commerce continues and grows like crazy I don't I have concern for the really small business owners though going forward. Yeah and it's Russian cuz I have that same concern and you know you and I have known. [28:20] Know more people that have gotten out of the business owner still in it and then put then what kind of countercyclical e happens there, is baffalo like some of these small business platforms like Magento Bigcommerce and Shopify there exploding so there's these it seems like there's these Merchants out there that have, yeah that are doing well like Shopify just hit I think the 500,000 small store owner, what's a kind of Wonder like who are those people and you know that that seems to be where things have shifted the marketplaces if that so competitive that the a lot of folks have gone to just creating there a little, but then I don't quite understand how there, going to differentiate themselves and get their name out there wifey that's exactly right so 15 years ago the easiest way to start with on eBay. So every small company in the world start on eBay and then they sorta grew or didn't grow a coordinate the eBay's growth are Amazon's girls and now the Shopify and the other. Consolidated sites we can do a lot of different things on one place now everything is Shifting to calm and that's a that's a big change I don't know. I can't I can't judges level success over anything else yet I being too soon but it's definitely a big change in the marketplace in the last 2 or 3 years. Jason:  [29:42] Yeah it's it is fascinating I mean, play I would argue the eat of your really successful Amazon Seller that like or or any plat Marketplace seller like that that shouldn't be your only platform that you should you should have a presence on a platform you own into the. The extent that you do earn your own traffic and aren't you know and earn your own customers. Like you don't want to be actively driving them to the marketplace you you do want to be driving them to that that platform you own so I totally get why. The the shopify's of the world would be successful alongside the the big marketplaces but is you guys are both aware like. You know painfully difficult and expensive to grow a meaningful audience on that on that digital property that you own versus. Nina taking advantage of the the incredible traffic that that Amazon in particular has belt. Scot & Guests:  [30:40] Is there a true and you know I've always go to Amazon and eBay Caesars. As a market expenses an advertising expense and you're paying those fees they bring you the customers. And so you know on your own. It's you're on your own until you bring customers to you it's a much different situation and much more difficult situation but if you can if you can achieve it I think you have a lot better chance of surviving long-term. Jason:  [31:05] Yeah for sure we will use the I used to have this kind of derogatory term for people that. Brands that tried to use Facebook as their only digital platform in Fitchburg Facebook's a wonderful tool. But I used to call them digital sharecroppers because they're you know you're you're planting your crop shirt you're putting all your equity in this land that you don't own and you know in the early days. Facebook change the terms and conditions of how you could use that land. Very frequently in that you know was a huge disruption to to all those Brands and you know it does feel like. The marketplaces today are are very similar to that like there's huge opportunities there but you are a digital sharecropper like you know if the day that Marketplace decides that they've hit some critical mass and don't need you anymore. You know that your your your business is definitely in Jeopardy so it's. Scary to have all those eggs in that in that one basket is good to own some land of your own. Scot & Guests:  [32:04] Yep and that's been a major change the last couple years as well so so back in the day. EBay wooden Scott can attest to this I think even said one time that it seems like people just kind of flavors over there sometimes wear any 6 months. They can make it a complete change the marketplace that really disrupted louder seller base. Can I get used to that and then or later something else will come along and just kept going like that what you could never really establish eBay presents Amazon. Another hand they watch the products the truck didn't change at all the solid for a long long time. Until the last time say couple years and now Amazon surround to the point with her information. A new Rose new changes that you know can hurt some sellers I can help other sellers but but it's almost like Amazon let you grow your business bigger before they decided I didn't need you and I don't know witches. What the worst scenario is there you know you can get shaken off by eBay or you can get kind of gets trampled on by Amazon at some point. Either either have those risks which again why I'm sure every consultant tells people to sell in multiple marketplaces and make sure the doc is a priority. Jason:  [33:13] Yep. So keeping the fan show light let's turn to a much more important topic I heard a rumor that you rival Scott as a Star Wars fan. Scot & Guests:  [33:29] Boy that depends on what metric you're talking about but I'm a huge Star Wars fan absolutely. I have a big question what's your favorite movie. Thesaurus really starting to warm to that one. Tricky question is what's the best one of the three new ones that's the tough one. Yes another one another tricky 1ru if you could only watch one more movie this year, would you do Blade Runner or pussy we've got is there another Marvel and coming up and then then you have Last Jedi. Is it Last Jedi Bar None or would you consider some the others. Man that's a tough one I mean it's definitely Last Jedi but I am really looking forward to Blade Runner. I think Ridley Scott if you got the right guy I've got the right directors you got the right characters again. I'm really really hopeful that they could do something spectacular with that. Jason:  [34:48] So the question I always like to ask and this may be the the wrong audience for this but so I have A2 year old son what order should I be showing him the movies. Scot & Guests:  [35:00] Machete Star Wars movies I would say 4 5 6 7 8. Jason:  [35:08] Okay I get 456 first a lot but that that's. The skip the prequels is a good one there is like there's some fan edits of the prequels that are much better like I wonder could we replace the could we make one of those the official Canon instead of the the George Lucas versions. Scot & Guests:  [35:28] What you can probably edit those three movies together to make one pretty good movie I mean that's definitely cool things happened but how to pick one that's hard to even recommend them. Jason:  [35:40] I think none of the fan edits that I've seen that are you know some of these have had millions of hits on on YouTube none of them have Jar Jar Binks in the middle. Scot & Guests:  [35:48] But that's alright uh I think the woman Darth Maul I'm sure you guys have seen that at your fan is amazing really good really good fanfiction there. Jason:  [36:00] And I apologize for digressing but like perhaps my the funniest Star Wars thing I ever saw on television as you guys remember when Stephen Colbert did the. The contest for the the lightsaber green screen fight. Scot & Guests:  [36:17] Yeah that's good I did I was good. Jason:  [36:22] So super super quickly for listeners they may not be as big a Geeks as as Scott and Kevin the. Tons of people on the internet where do I. Making your own videos of lightsaber fights and so Stephen Colbert decided hey he would do this funny contest he would pretend to be fighting with a lightsaber in front of a green screen and make the video available this fans. And he would have a contest with prizes for the free the three fans that made the best scene using his. His greensaver is green screen lightsaber fight and so they they show the the two finalists on on this Colbert show and the first one is this you know woman Lisa from. From the you know I like Minneapolis or whatever and she's she's got this great video that she made featuring Stephen Colbert fighting the video and then. The the other finalist is George from. Marin County California and as as they're talking like it becomes obvious that it's George Lucas. Scot & Guests:  [37:31] Yes it was hysterical. Jason:  [37:32] And he's he's like in his own thing and they've like you know they've like. Cut new scenes for the movie this thing but the best question was you know Stephen is asking them both like do you own all the movies and George George's like I own all of them except the first one there's some dispute about the first. [37:53] Which I thought was a funny line. Scot & Guests:  [37:55] Yeah that that in like that the SNL auditions for Star Wars 7 was great too that's so cool. Star Wars is the entire ecosystem around it is also awesome. Jason:  [38:08] Would you say that something that Star Wars has in common with a Jason and Scott show that it's a sort of that kind of cultural phenomenon. Scot & Guests:  [38:15] Yeah I think you guys just need to add a conference right you need to have a Jason Scott convention and. Bring a bunch of your gas there and everything else in a certain place and I don't know is there I know Scott's wearing a red jumpsuit right now probably I don't know what you're wearing Jason but you know some sort of attire for the show we could all wear it would be cool. Yeah we get wicked mix in a Star Wars convention at the same time how awesome would that be. Jason:  [38:39] I'm thinking it's going to be at your that that at Scott's new residents which is that that the new hotel. Scot & Guests:  [38:46] Absolutely I can't wait for that. Jason:  [38:51] So I do before we get out I just want to wrap up like we had a good conversation about where the future of marketplaces are going I'd be curious if you had a maybe. SAE more General POV about you know how what what retail looks like in the future like does this digital. Disruption like you don't continue to play out how it's playing out now to see any big changes coming that the other listeners be thinking about. Scot & Guests:  [39:20] Personally I think that we're honestly really only beginning to see the beginnings of the acceleration. Honestly I don't know that's not good news for people but I think these large companies that are getting much larger much faster are described in. On a scale that that we've never seen before and will probably accelerate so I worry about things for example like even Brands themselves you know I worry. I worry that when you get when when is going to come in like Amazon starts doing a ton of private-label stuff I just a time and way more than we even even know about. And then answer to something with that like a voice product like Alexa. The combinations to it is really deadly and when you fit when he think about how deadly it is it's a little scary you know if you ask Alexa to buy something Alexis probably not suggest you it's on Amazon brand suggestions. And when you can when you take those you know brand spend billions of dollars on. On marketing and their packaging and they're looking their feel and when you remove all of that I'm invoice removes all of that so. I get this weird thing that Amazon is attempting to. Accelerates the death of Brands but but taking a lot of that margin that Brands used to enjoy and sort of shipping over to itself. So I definitely that Trend coming and maybe accelerating Scott yeah it's it's their stuff only you know when you ask. Her can't say it cuz she's right here. [40:52] For Alexa when you ask her for her batteries you know that's going to be an Amazon basic battery I think there's definitely rust there I think, brands are not really putting all that together I don't think you know Jason's earlier point they take Amazon seriously it off and then I don't think they get the voice thing and how it really, is a different way to shop where all the packaging and all that looking field doesn't really matter. [41:24] The decisions you have to make tonight bet exciting if you want to space not have toothpaste. I think Amazon is realize that and I think they're going to do their best to sell you Amazon toothpaste instead of your own and by the way they'll give it to an in an hour right so. Amazon has been spending all this time building this gigantic ecosystem in the background and I think you're just now beginning to see if that's it. Yeah yeah and then you know the Counterpoint, to that which I feel is ironic but I'll I'll do this is that you know when we first started Channel advisor it when was kind of like you had to be able to answer the Google question you know, how is Google now you have to answer the Amazon question so these things tend to go and 10:15 year cycle so, we'll see you know I think they'll be there's some company we probably don't know the name of yet you have some some dudes in the garage somewhere and there will be another competitor to Amazon that, the tides so it probably won't be as game over it feels like when you're in the in the heart of it but it is a little scary. [42:30] Yeah I mean if you think about brand searches right so they used to be all Google now it's it's got to be pretty split between Google Amazon and eBay. And in Facebook I should say Facebook in particular so even that even the even way to find products is draft dramatically changing. [42:49] Absolutely well we really appreciate you sharing your thoughts Kevin and and of course being such a long-term listener we really appreciate it and you give us a lot of great feedback, we will try to integrate your feedback here tonight and do more kind of live questions and those kinds of things and we hope you listen to the next hundred episodes. I love the show I love it and thanks for let me find next we be on. Jason:  [43:14] Thanks so much for being on. Scot & Guests:  [43:16] Discontinuing with episode 100 listener preciation we are excited to welcome on to the show Ted for felski Ted is on Twitter as Ted, TD underscored gives gives and he's always one of the first people to start a conversation after we put a show out there so not only is he an avid listener but he's also very, timely on on his downloads mustn'ts, Ted lives in Austin Texas and is part of the e-commerce startup Community there he is the father of 3 boys and co-founder of simplytapp welcome to the show 10. Hey guys will thanks for having me I always enjoy your show so I'm glad to be here on your podcast as well. Jason:  [43:58] We are thrilled to have you Ted Scott mentioned that you're currently the co-founder simply tap and we're going to get to that in just a minute, do you know when we have guests on the show we always like to get a little bit of the color about their career matriculation and how they got where they are so can you. Can you give us the Reader's Digest of a of how you got here. Scot & Guests:  [44:20] Yeah definitely so my career kind of started. You're out of college with a degree in finance going straight into International Business Development for the World Trade Center so I did that for about a year-and-a-half and then found my way. Down to Texas on a Consulting gig which. Ultimately led me to my actual degree in finance over the boutique firm here in Austin Texas called Arthur Financial Services. Doing technology evaluation for the energy and oil and gas Industries. And so I always knew I wanted to start my own company and you know. God willing and gave me a opportunity when my co-founder of simplytapp move down here from Knoxville in about 6 years ago and so we. Yeah we kind of met. Online it away before tender was big or before meet up with big I just threw some some blogs and we hit it off and he had a great idea I had a great idea we mashed them together and started a company in off at once. Cool what would really appreciate you listening to the show when when did you hear about the show and when did when did we kind of pick you up as a listener. Well I've been I think I've listened to every episode for the last say. Maybe April 2016 so coming up on a year and a half or so and. [45:50] What I was looking for when I found your your show was some smart guys with some opinions around the. E-commerce and commerce space so when I found yours not only did I find it interesting but I also enjoyed listening to. Take the given take you both hat and so obviously you guys spend a lot of time covering the world of Amazon because it's such a big part of the current ecosystem right now. At least how it affects everyone both from an employment standpoint to an idea standpoint to it infrastructure standpoint and so. I thought that was something that I had necessarily heard the level of detail and so that's really gravitated me towards Georgia podcasting. You would come out with with good episodes one after another and so I can listen to them. At normal speed where is most of them they you know you stood him up a little bit you get to about 1.7 maybe 2 x. And you get some faster but I've set through a regular speed with you guys since the beginning so and then obviously I started following guys on Twitter. And your website reached out to try to. Find out as much about you guys as possible to make sure the stuff I'm hearing your podcast is legitimate and I think it is, devious plan is working with pulled you into the the evil web that we have one. [47:32] And it your your diction to. Starbucks though Jason is a little bit over-the-top I hear that mentioned every so often and I just wonder how much Starbucks this guy drink if he takes it with him on trips and mouth isn't it everywhere already sell. Jason:  [47:46] Yeah it's it's a little bit of a problem I actually had a moment this morning I huge line at the Starbucks so I thought I'd be really Advanced user and do Mobile Pay to skip the line. So I do Mobile Pay and I'm sitting there waiting and I never comes and never comes and then I go to the phone and realize I sent the mobile pain to a different store. Scot & Guests:  [48:05] Oh yeah I actually saw your Tweet there but they were nice enough I thought that was a real. Jason:  [48:09] Oh my God they were rock stars they when they realize what I did they made my drink for me anyway didn't charge me in save my day. Scot & Guests:  [48:17] Bullets I think the price they probably was in your show so they're like. India favorite guess that we've had on the show that that's kind of come to mine favorite guests. You know you guys have had so many good ones over the years while since I posted over the year and a half. Not really you know everyone seems to be pretty good and I'm not a big names guy so. I really don't remember anyone that jumps jumps out that's like why I'm glad you guys had that on there because I was to a couple of them and I always match him up so. So no sorry. Jason:  [49:00] Know where they're all so good that you can't pick up it's like picking when your favorite. Scot & Guests:  [49:04] It's a Neverfull a while honey I can pick that but I'm kidding. You know what one of the episodes I really enjoyed was when you guys decided to put a token name on the new checkout process or shopping experience from Amazon. Seems like every time that they come out with a new way to deliver a product or service. You know you guys come up with another acronym for it that is really hard to explain or or remember or say it but you guys use it as if it's a thing so. Jason:  [49:36] #j Scot & Guests:  [49:37] Appreciate that yes that's the one. Yeah... Was I think here in Texas I think of JJ Watt which is the football. Little bit bigger deal than Jay water itself or maybe someday lumpy you know he'll retire Hill go into the announcer booth and JWoww still be around. Jason:  [50:00] I feel like it's always going to be safer to say to Jeff Bezos the Jay Watts not a big deal than it's ever going to be to say to JJ Watt that he's not a big deal. Scot & Guests:  [50:08] Well you know I mean there for people who follow just Beason Amazon me he has been bulking up there has been a lot of memes lately with him you know looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger so I mean. Jason:  [50:20] Know know know he looks totally fit but he still looks like maybe JJ's right arm. Scot & Guests:  [50:24] Yeah fair enough fair enough so it's working obviously as you guys cover Amazon. An undercut of all the to do and how they affect the rest of the industry is obviously here in Austin Texas Whole Foods has been a staple of one of the corporation's at kind of the Hallmark for what it means to be Austin right it's this. Upstart started neon 25 30 years ago from hey I just want to produce and Supply Wholesome foods that are well. You can't find in general Grocers and so obviously with the news of them acquiring them I was really excited because my office is about a block-and-a-half from their headquarters and I go there quite frequently for lunch so I know the prices of everything another people. Know when the announcement was made that Amazon was essentially going to a choir Whole Foods. I walked in there and the place was some pins and needles but to be fair you know the day that the acquisition actually went through. And I'm sailing back I was expecting maybe a sign or you know everything to be saying free on it because it's. Our delivery for something you know I didn't see any of that but the people. We're in good spirits and so I thought that was at least initially a good sign. The communication between Amazon and Whole Foods is going to be. [51:58] Good enough or you know smooth enough to wear. What makes Whole Foods Whole Foods and experience hopefully won't get washed away by technology day one it's going to maybe gradually going to go in that direction so nice. Turn off people are scared at least here in Austin for the for that acquisition Bill actually go through. Jason:  [52:24] No I think that is true and I only have to say. The day one experience was remarkable I think we've all been super impressed with how much they got done in terms of integration on that on you. That that first day of the. Under Amazon control this Monday. Scot & Guests:  [52:44] I don't know what you guys experience but headquarters never moves you know they put a new payment systems they put in terminal they put in new ideas that app never works like, this'll last post ever touch so it's weird because it is headquarters it should be you know of a flagship you think they would get that one right, straight away but there was nothing integrated in nothing to headquarters was just nothing at all, so except for some commentary about why why the employees couldn't use Alexa for something so. Jason:  [53:19] That's funny it that's a common thing so that the headquarters Store the store that's closest to the headquarters for almost all retailers like. Always has this unique character and like one of the things is it's almost always run by a totally cynical manager who's not impressed by anything right because. Can you think about it every vendor that ever called on Whole Foods has gone to that store and they explore that store and they probably like stopped and talked to the manager about how important they were to Whole Foods and all that sort of stuff. And you know of course all the Senior Management from the company shop there and all those things in like if you were going to be Star Struck by by the executives coming into your store. You wouldn't do very well in that that. Headquarter store so that the surviving manager there 10 tends to usually be a guy that walks to the beat of his own drummer. Scot & Guests:  [54:12] Yeah I think that's definitely true you know I've met quite a few of their their Executives being so close and you calling on them from time to time whether it be something that I would working on that I want to show them we're just in general curiosity they, they've all been pretty open even though they do get solicited constantly but even pretty open I've been able to. Have some pretty good conversations and coffee and what not have lunch with them so I haven't in a while obviously they've had other things on their mind. But they've been really great Bunch for as large as I've become so I'm excited to see what happens to them not to make this an episode about. About Amazon and Whole Foods but. I think it's going to be exciting and I think there's going to be some Growing Pains But ultimately it's going to really Drive. The industry as a whole towards better things from a consumer perspective. Jason:  [55:11] No I totally agree I do want to change topics to we mention you're the co-founder of Simply tap and tell us a little bit more about that. Scot & Guests:  [55:21] Absolutely so simply tap is a cloud-based payments company the idea was born from. My desire to want to do something in a meaningful industry. I'm being in finance specifically in the energy world I thought it was just phenomenal how you can take this material and it just runs everything right and I still looking at the world around me I said you know what there's there's something very similar to, two oil and gas and that is currency that's a meal money basically its Financial systems and so. With a degree in finance I said well that's pretty perfect than I do about three years of research and finally went Doug came down. On to Austin he had been working on us a specific. Not to get too confident but a specific architecture software architecture for doing cryptographic based payments. And today that that system is the one we've created and it's used on over 500 million devices worldwide mainly Android it's called host card emulation or agency in so when we came together. I saw that and I said this is this is what you've made hear your idea here is in phenomenal so I you know put my business development had onto my marketing hat. You know we started the company and since then you know we've had a large Bank clients and small Bank clients around the world. [56:53] But ultimately you know over the last year we've said well there's a whole lot of Green Space here in the United States and so we are going to create a new. A new mobile payment in a new shopping experience called game g a n e and so that's really what we as a company have been working on this past year and so we're looking forward to to launching yet. Star over the next month or so and see where it goes. Know it's it's been fun ride we were venture-backed we have great gravy C's and fries and Ventures and Lightspeed Ventures and blue sky from Canada. It's been fun and it's exciting and I know Scott you have gone down this path in your previous life and honestly now with spiffy and you've been around the block. But it's this is my first time accepting someone else's money and then requiring to return that back to them. 100 fold if you will so it's something that I'm very. Thankful of had the chance to experience and grow team build a product in Market that Prada. It's all been is open very exciting and it's all been very kind of. Nice to do it here in a place like Austin or there so many resources to to learn and to grow and to kind of pull from. That's awesome congrats on the funding the we just had I don't know if you heard it or not but we had Shane from Zola on and I believe Lightspeed was an investor in those guys they're they're very active in the e-commerce space as I'm sure you know. [58:32] We were a core Payments Technology and and the patents we have around it RR. Are very very strong however has a small company it becomes. Delicate to put the least and how you how you handle yourself. So unlike many of the things a light speed run Commerce invests in which is more on on platforms that are to enable Commerce or speed up Commerce or grow Commerce from. Cat facilitating position this one was was more of a linchpin to make Mobile payment actually happen. I'm so it's a very technical technology that we use now Visa NASCAR DMX and everyone around the world leverages. But yeah Lightspeed is a is a wonderful Venture Capital firm how to see the not Basin Austin we are fortunate for them to seek us out at the time. That doesn't usually happen but we were in a space that they really liked I want individual there and. Notice women introduce themselves if we want to give you a bunch of money we said I don't know if we can trust you you know and the dance began you know over 6 months and then finally they convince us that they work or not, we're going to steal everything from us and you Story Goes On so. Jason:  [1:00:09] That that's a great story and just just to make sure I have it right so simply tap. Which is almost a B2B play that would have license technology to other folks that would use it for for mobile cloud-based payments and then game which is Gano is a. Consumer-facing app that you guys have lunch that fits art of the echo system that leverages that technology do I do I have that right. Scot & Guests:  [1:00:35] Yeah you got that right so it's it's Gane . But that's that's fine I mean you got softener so it's just me going to be listening as my own. Jason:  [1:00:49] Now Jeff Bezos isn't going to find your app. Scot & Guests:  [1:00:51] All good I don't need him find anything that you can worry. Jason:  [1:00:55] And when you guys say host card emulation. I'm taking a wild guess but so you're using NFC chip in the Android to sort of spoof the NFC antenna that would be in a nfc-enabled piece of plastic is that. [1:01:12] Kind of true or no am I totally wrong. Scot & Guests:  [1:01:15] Know your you're quite right with a couple technical differences so an NFC radio is simply just a radio it can it can pass just been any protocol NFC. Is a particular protocol that everyone leverages. Or I should say what people know as of NFC and so what we essentially do is we take that cryptographic element which is typically considered a secure element. And we host that in a remote server so at the time you want to make a payment what we've done is we've we've incremented the cryptographic element a number of times. And then sent those essentially loaded transactions ready to be used down to the device for storage, a time of payment over NFC or really any means we deliver that, that cryptographic element that send merged with the transaction itself so it can then be validated on the back and buy a large processor. Stop a process that would process that particular issued product so it works with just about any. Every it's a universal standard now. But yeah it's it's on Android devices it was on Windows devices and blackberry but obviously those aren't around anymore so it's now Android. Jason:  [1:02:44] So one burning question so obviously the newer Apple devices have an NFC radio in them but likes. Heretofore they haven't opened up that radio 2. What are useful things we'd like to do it almost sounds like they're starting to an I thought I had read that they were going to start opening that up in some some Limited Format are you up to speed on that at all is there any any hope in the future of. I'm getting NFC functionality out of the the Apple. Scot & Guests:  [1:03:13] Well I'd like to preface this common by no one knows what Apple do until Apple does it but we do know Apple quite well. And what I would I'd like to say is it was great to see them it help the entire ecosystem when they chose to adopt. NFC technology as for payment. There's great advantages to opening it up and leveraging a architecture that we've you know. What created the industry called height post-credit Malaysian it would offer all the things that you might like to do with that particular type of radio or frequency. Making the experience that you have with the device in the world around you much more interactive and much more powerful potentially now they have recently opened up what they would say the readability for their NFC chip. Which allows you to Simply hit a tag and RFID tag. And then if there's a URL based there it will then pull the oral up just like you were to go to a website or provide you with information. Based off the products so one of the examples of this is RFID lock tags on very expensive bottles of wine typically this is seen in China or areas where. You can simply refill a bottle with bad wine charge the good one prices and so what this. Opening up in the way of Apple allows them to do is now you can just a simply walk up to the the bottle of wine in the store. [1:04:52] Wherever they'll go is to stop hearing about a product and it will then either provide you information about that particular part. Or it can potentially allow your mobile device to download a coupon or a code. Or take you to a website where you can learn more about that particular product where it came from maybe it could be pulled directly into a health app where, hey if scans it says no this is no good for you because it has XYZ and we know you're allergic to XYZ so it's a great step forward. It's going to be used pacifically for marketing and it's not necessarily. Fully opening their NFC stack as as people in the industry. Cool all this fancy payments talk is over my head but, makes me ask how you feel about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency cuz I'm assume you have a lot of time thinking about that when we were giving to last session say. Bitcoin was all the rage on in Silicon Valley and you couldn't get through one meeting without them asking what your Bitcoin play. And I'd scratch my head and say look you know if the government doesn't take it as this is my general stance if the government doesn't take. You can't pay your taxes with it and the government can't regulate it then it will never exist here in the United States as a main form currency not to mention that. [1:06:22] There are very large incumbents like visa and MasterCard on the banking system as a whole that will not allow a cryptocurrency as a de-facto currency to exist because they already have the compute power they already have the infrastructure. So for Bitcoin as a currency to become mainstream and many of my friends with hate me for this because their Bitcoin. I'll put that way it just won't be supporting the ecosystem and the incumbents can simply squash it through regulation what screw do just. Bearing it throughout marketing dollars so. You have the currency know what chain is more interesting there's other Alternatives but you look at and you have to compare the Computing cost of walk chain with the existing cost of computing a cryptographic keys. It's kind of you know it's not Cheaper by any means the decentralized. Essential system is not cheaper here just spreading off the cost across the notes. And if those nodes one day decide that it's too expensive for them will guess what your your network of nodes gets you no crappier. Because now you're losing computer power so I know it's going to be a big fight it's better suited for countries with currencies that are have wild. Deflation or inflation. [1:07:53] So I won't most likely won't hear work here in the United States for ever until these except sit as their defacto. Jason:  [1:08:02] It's interesting in general with wood agreed with you and share your skepticism but the one thing I didn't see coming that seems like it's helping to make it slightly more mainstream is ransomware. Scot & Guests:  [1:08:13] Very fair very fair you know the problem is you can as an organ well I see the problem is and you're right ransomware offers this. This way but you know. Anna silly want to go and find and hold Bitcoin and no one does right so if it if it's not an everyday occurrence and the payment systems as they stand today no this very very well. If you can get someone to change their habits and Amazon in anyone else will notice to then you really have no chance write a one-off purchase from a retailer I'll let Kohl's. Even if they give you a deep discount and you never go back, you didn't win anything you just discounted your products and services and you're not you're not making any moment towards them adopting your brand or knowing your brand any better you just trick them or force them to. Of the economics of it to experience what you want to experience. It's going to be a long fight ransomware will always exist being in people with cryptocurrencies at hopefully. You know I obviously it's not a good use case come mainstream use case your fraud and theft and blackmail but it is a use case and you know it maybe if it keeps growing and. Everyone's like hell yeah I need to have a little jingle of Bitcoin in my pocket. Cuz I know I'm vulnerable and someone's going to hack me and all my pictures are going to be frozen or stolen or my business whatever. [1:09:49] That does a use case. Jason:  [1:09:51] If you had some of the pictures on your phone that Scott has on his you'd want to carry a little bit coin. Scot & Guests:  [1:09:56] I think it wouldn't I think you just leaving locked forever that what you couldn't get back to him because yeah. When one quick, final question you're at you're there and Austin. Quite a hotbed of metal e-commerce but but high-tech can, investing in things like that do you is there a kind of a community of e-commerce people do you get the shipping guys down there like shipstation you've got that coremetrics bazaarvoice, Bret Hart and his kind of crew or down there how does that work in and did you pick Austin or you just kind of ended up there. Well so I didn't pick Austin I was actually living in Chicago before I moved down to Austin and it was College buddy before you got married at 4 months I had some time so I took that Consulting gig here in Texas and I can live anywhere. So he was an awesome I said sure sounds like a good place. But as far as the I mean I'm here there's a ton of opportunity and it's a great great Community but as far as the Commerce Committee goes you know what. It's definitely here. Because the size of Austin is so much smaller more accessible than say so can Valley or New York. It's easy to get in touch with and have conversations with but I can't really say that there is a. [1:11:28] Yeah I don't go out and play poker with with five other you know individuals who are all in the payments or e-commerce space even though it's there's so much of it here it doesn't happen as much as you would think. I've often thought about starting a you know I'm morning Club of some form around e-commerce but what I found is. [1:11:52] There's there's anecdotal stuff that everyone runs into when you're selling things online when your building logistics for whatever product you're selling and everyone has a little bit of different take which is nice but the end of the day Commerce is Commerce, and you know the tools that emerge as as best. Best use case tools or advantageous tools they all seem to be in your hands all the same time. Time for whatever reason the sales guys are getting those tools you know how to the businesses. Have have a good Rolodex to call on in so you know I think that the individuals here in Austin are are quite. You're in tune with the heartbeat of e-commerce and since th

Tabria and Mindy explore the various types of double standards that exist. Music: "Single Friends" Jay Watts Hosted by: @tabriamajors & @igobymindy @thethickpodcast Live show tickets @ www.thethickpodcast.com

A battle over free speech dominates the newsfeeds of online media. The rhetoric grows harsher as two sides seek to establish competing narratives. Are our universities dominated by a privileged class that forces vulnerable minorities to study in a hostile environment, or is the problem really that emotionally fragile students cannot handle dissenting opinions without experiencing emotional meltdowns? It can be difficult to establish a clear definition of safe spaces or to determine limits to the right of students to govern their participation in curriculum they find troubling. Any effort to communicate is frustrated by different sides using similar moral terminology with different meanings, one objectively grounded and the other emotionally grounded. We must recommit to understanding universities as institutions aimed at fostering open dialogue in pursuit of knowledge and truth.The Bible offers examples of countering bad speech with good speech through the examples of both Jesus and Paul. We cannot become so afraid of offending others that we cease to equip the next generation. This podcast episode is a conversation with author Jay Watts as he answers questions including What are safe spaces and trigger warnings? Does this issue transcend the normal conservative versus progressive liberal dynamic that so often plays out in cultural conflict? Does commitment to freedom of expression mean that everyone must be allowed to speak? Even Nazis?

Jay Watts from Life Training Institute join the Life Report team via Skype for a round table discussion on whether modern day Planned Parenthood is actually a racist organization. Jay offers a brief biography on Margaret Sanger and the two most significant events in her life. In response to the question of whether Sanger was racist, Jay responds that "racist" is too limiting a term for her. Also discussed are the stats that seem to implicate Planned Parenthood in targeting minorities, as well as the location of some of their clinics in minority neighborhoods, and the Live Action Racism Project. Finally Josh offers an alternative explanation for the higher abortion rate in the black community and the location of some Planned Parenthood clinics in minority neighborhoods.

Jay Watts, Vice-President of Development and Communications of Life Training Institute takes on the Life Report Questionnaire. Highlight: In response to question #9, Jay talks about the need for pro-lifers to be culturally relevant. Right before we recorded this interview, I had been debating my wife Hannah about whether we should include "silly" questions like #1 and #2, and Jay says Hannah's right because people need to know that pro-lifers are like them. We watch movies. We're not weirdos. We just found out about something so horrible that some of us spend our lives talking about it in an effort to stop the injustice.
