AI is changing what search means in e-commerce. Shoppers are no longer just typing keywords and scanning static results. Conversational agents are shaping discovery, addressing objections, and guiding purchases like digital salespeople. Brands must look beyond traditional SEO and design for both human shoppers and AI-driven journeys. Jeremy Goldman sits down with Sean Whitehead, VP of Digital Product & Tech at Fracture, and Aniket Deosthali, CEO and Founder of Envive AI, to discuss how brands can bring in-store service online, adapt to the rise of AI search, earn consumer trust, and preserve brand distinctiveness as AI tools become commoditized. INSIDE THE EPISODE: From Keyword Matching to Digital Salesmanship Traditional search assumes shoppers already know what they want. AI can address hesitation and objections directly on the product page before they turn into abandoned carts. The Financial Imperative of AI Search With half of consumers using AI search, and a projected $750B revenue impact by 2028, optimizing for AI engine visibility (AEO/GEO) is non-negotiable. Brands need to focus on durable fundamentals: structured data, strong content, authority, and answering real customer questions. Trust and Security Are the Ultimate Bottlenecks for AI Adoption With nearly 40% of consumers fearing AI scams or data misuse, brands must "treat AI like a new hire"—using strict guardrails and brand-approved data to prevent costly glitches. Brand Differentiation Will Shift to Proprietary Data and Brand Voice As AI tools commoditize, standing out requires training models on your distinct brand voice and unique customer data.
Welcome to another edition of Retail Roundup—your weekly brief helping retail leaders decode the biggest shifts in retail, AI, and commerce. In this week's episode, Jeremy Goldman sits down with industry experts Charisma Glassman (Genpact) and RETHINK Retail's very own Tanya Thorson to examine the shifts redefining commerce. Together, they analyze shifting consumer spending, the evolution of social commerce platforms, and the operational tightrope legacy brands must walk to survive. INSIDE THIS WEEK'S EPISODE: 1. HIGH-INCOME RESILLENCE VS ASPIRATIONAL FRICTION Luxury retail's recovery is divided. High-net-worth consumers continue spending on hard luxury like Tiffany & Co., while aspirational shoppers pull back on fashion due to economic pressure. This gap is forcing retailers to sharpen demographic targeting by doubling down on high-end jewelry or recalibrating price points for cautious buyers. 2. SOCIAL COMMERCE IS MOVING FROM DISCOVERY TO ECOSYSTEM OWNERSHIP TikTok's testing of a paid membership program demonstrates that social commerce platforms are moving beyond viral product discovery. By layering in subscriptions, logistics, and perks, platforms aim to own the entire customer lifecycle and drive repeat purchases. 3. BRAND HERITAGE IN AN EMOTIONAL ASSET, NOT JUST MARKETING Evolving a legacy brand is high-stakes operations, not just marketing. As Cracker Barrel learned, abrupt changes to logos, menus, or store design can feel like a betrayal to core customers, triggering swift backlash and financial friction. As consumer behavior splits and platforms evolve, retail leaders must adapt operations to protect brand value and secure customer loyalty.
“The hard part isn't going global. It's staying operational once you're there.” Senior Retail Analyst Lavina Suthenthiran unpacks the newest Global Lens report in a new podcast series exploring the forces reshaping global retail. Over the coming weeks, she dives deeper into the data, case studies, and market dynamics behind one central conclusion: cross-border growth has shifted from a demand problem to an execution problem. In this episode, Jeremy Goldman joins Lavina to explore the major themes behind that conclusion, and how leading brands are learning from costly mistakes as they build for global growth. DEMAND IS ARRIVING FASTER THAN BRANDS CAN OPERATIONALIZE FOR IT: Discovery has never been easier. Between social platforms and AI, brands can suddenly see demand in markets they never planned to enter. The challenge now is whether brands will be ready on the backend when that demand appears. - Supporting data: ESW research found that 71% of Gen Z discovers products on social media, but only 6% want to complete the purchase there, indicating that discovery and conversion now happen in different places. CAPABILITY GAPS ARE DRIVING CROSS-BORDER FAILURE: When demand comes, brands need to be prepared to deliver. The problem is, most aren't. Failure tends to stem from fulfillment, checkout, planning, and execution weaknesses rather than a lack of appetite. - Supporting data: 7 in 10 cross-border expansions fail, and 7 in 10 failures trace back to a capability gap, not market readiness. LOCALIZATION IS STRUCTURAL, NOT COSMETIC: Local knowledge has to be present before decisions are approved, not after problems emerge. Localization is not just translation or surface-level cultural adaptation. It must shape decision-making, assortment, channels, and service design. Without that local knowledge, brands risk appearing out of touch or missing their audience entirely. DESIGN A GLOBAL OPERATING MODEL, NOT A MARKET-BY-MARKET IMPROVISATION: Fragmented, market-by-market operations eventually collapse. Sustainable international growth requires clear rules on what remains standardized versus what flexes locally. - Supporting data: Skull Footwear used organic demand data across 90+ countries to focus DTC expansion in India, Brazil, and Indonesia, instead of spreading everywhere at once. Listen above to the full discussion, including real-world cautionary tales and success strategies from leaders who have mastered global execution.
Send us Fan MailWe're living through one of the fastest periods of workplace transformation in modern history. AI is reshaping jobs, layoffs have become a recurring reality, and many professionals are quietly asking themselves a question they never expected to ask:Can I keep working like this?In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., Jeremy Goldman sits down with DJ DiDonna, senior lecturer at Harvard Business School and author of BIG TIME OFF, to explore why stepping away from work may become one of the most important career strategies of the AI era.Drawing on years of research and hundreds of conversations with professionals who have taken extended breaks, DJ argues that sabbaticals aren't simply about recovering from burnout—they're about creating the space to rethink your work, your priorities, and your future before someone else makes that decision for you.Together, they discuss:How AI and rapid technological change are making career reinvention a continuous process. Why layoffs and unexpected career interruptions can become opportunities for reflection instead of just setbacks. The surprising competitive advantage that comes from intentionally creating time to think. How organizations can build cultures that prioritize long-term resilience instead of perpetual exhaustion. This isn't just a conversation about taking time off. It's about whether we've built a definition of career success that's no longer fit for the future—and what it might look like to replace it with something more sustainable.
Retailers rarely manage to scale new storefront technology beyond a basic pilot phase. Demo modes simulate perfect conditions, but they completely ignore the chaotic reality of a live store. This operational gap kills widespread rollouts. Mark Propes, Chief Business Development Officer at Vusion, and Hitha Herzog, Chief Retail Analyst at H Squared Research, join Jeremy Goldman to pinpoint exactly why these retail trials hit a wall, and how brands can actually make in-store tech work. “Are you really building something that's durable enough and rugged enough for what happens in the aisle?" From fragile lab environments to a cracked data foundation, they break down the roadblocks stalling retail innovation. INSIDE THE EPISODE: - Why teams must build store tools for physical durability rather than treating them as fragile science experiments - How central strategic alignment solves the 95% failure rate of AI pilots - Why you must clean up baseline inventory metrics before touching advanced AI - How to shift evaluation metrics away from abstract vendor marketing and toward real operational numbers Stop blindly throwing disconnected tools at your tech stack. Listen to the full conversation above to see how teams turn experimental pilots into operational realities.
Jeremy Goldman is VP Editorial & Insights at RETHINK Retail, a community platform supporting retailers, brand leaders, logistics practitioners, and AI specialists. Before joining RETHINK Retail, he founded and sold the Firebrand Group, spent years as an analyst at eMarketer, and has been building e-commerce properties since 2000. He also runs a podcast called Future Proof.This episode examines the gap between AI hype and business reality. Jeremy argues that agentic commerce attracts far more attention than the near-term use cases justify, and that the brands quietly gaining ground are the ones who never stopped running the fundamentals.The conversation covers where AI is delivering real results today, including enhanced product discovery for high-consideration SKUs, and what is actually shifting in search as LLMs reshape how buyers find products. Jeremy and Eitan work through why Google is more relevant than the current discourse suggests, what the rise of TikTok Shop signals about the pace of social commerce adoption, and why community building has become one of the most underrated growth levers available to brands right now.Listeners will leave with a clearer read on where the real ROI in AI sits in 2026, a sharper sense of which fundamentals are worth doubling down on, and a framework for knowing whether their company is commerce-optimized, marketing-optimized, or falling short on both.Website: https://www.vimmi.netEmail us: info@vimmi.netPodcast website: https://vimmi.net/commerce-untold/Eitan Koter's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eitankoter/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VimmiVideoCommerce/featuredGuest: Jeremy Goldman, VP Editorial & Insights, RETHINK RetailJeremy Goldman's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremygoldmanRETHINK Retail: https://rethink.industries/Key Takeaways:• Agentic commerce is real technology, but the claim that AI will handle all buying decisions within two years is not where the near-term reality lands• AI-driven product discovery is already delivering measurable results for large-catalog, high-consideration SKUs, and that is where brands should focus first• Most companies are either commerce-optimized or marketing-optimized, rarely both, and knowing which one you are determines where the gaps are• Community is the growth lever most brands are underinvesting in: a brand with a genuine community is structurally harder to displace than one relying solely on paid acquisition• When hype cycles hit, the companies that lean back into fundamentals, email, checkout friction, fulfillment speed, and conversion rate, take share from everyone else while they are distractedChapters:[00:12] Introduction and Inside RETHINK Retail[01:37] From E-Commerce Builder to Editorial Leader: Jeremy's Career Thread[05:44] Agentic Commerce: Real Technology, Outsized Claims[07:34] Where AI Is Delivering Real Results in Retail Today[10:28] Google Is Not Out: AI Search and the LLM Landscape[15:27] Commerce vs. Marketing: Knowing What Kind of Company You Are[18:49] Community Building as the Next Growth Unlock for Brands[21:26] TikTok Shop and Why Social Commerce Is Catching On[23:41] Why the Fundamentals Win When Everyone Else Chases Hype[28:36] Omnichannel Strategy: When and How to Add a New Channel[30:33] What Jeremy Is Focused on in the Second Half of 2026
Welcome to Media in Retail Today, RETHINK Retail officially launched Media in Retail (MiR), a new community built for the people shaping the future of retail media. To mark the launch, Community Chair Drew Cashmore joins Jeremy Goldman to discuss why the industry needs a dedicated space for connection, collaboration, and candid conversation. WHY MIR EXISTS: - Retail media has grown quickly, but there are still too few opportunities for authentic, honest conversations between the people building the industry. - MiR brings together brands, retailers, agencies, and technology partners in a year-round community built around shared learning, fresh perspectives, and real-world experience. - A Community, Not an Event - MiR doesn't begin and end with an event. It's a year-round community designed to connect, learn, and grow alongside peers across the industry. - The community is also meant to create pathways for emerging and aspiring retail media leaders, while opening the door to mentorship and shared learning across experience levels. WHY IT MATTERS NOW: - Retail media is becoming a core part of how retailers operate, engage customers, and drive growth. - “Retail media started in its infancy as a profit center for retailers to offset some of their operating costs. And it is quickly moved into the total flywheel that generates value for retailers.” - As the industry evolves, the decisions shaping its future shouldn't happen in isolation. Progress depends on greater collaboration, stronger relationships, and a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing every part of the market. What Success Looks Like MIR IS BUILT TO: - Helping buyers and sellers better understand each other's priorities - Creating opportunities for more productive conversations across the industry - Supporting the next generation of retail media leaders - Building stronger connections between the people shaping the future of the space Listen to the launch episode to hear why MiR was created, what it hopes to achieve, and how you can be part of the conversation.

“Ultimately, it's the people that determine the success or the failure of technology, not the technology itself.” The latest report by Arktic Fox and Six Degrees dives deep into why brands and retailers will only win in retail media, personalization, and AI if they pair rising investment with stronger data foundations and better product content. Teresa Sperti, Director at Arktic Fox, sits down with Jeremy Goldman to discuss how achieving these results ultimately requires credible measurement alongside teams capable of turning technology into execution. Inside the episode: - Why brands are shifting away from marketing to humans and moving towards optimizing for AI-driven discovery and decision-making - How brands can shift their tech approach toward loyalty and personalization - Why retailers need to invest in eCommerce and stronger digital shelf capability to defend share and improve performance - Why brands must better prepare their talent, as companies are currently buying technology faster than they are building the organizational skills to run it Don't let your technology investments outpace your team's capabilities. Listen to the full podcast episode above to bridge the execution gap.

As the path to purchase continues to splinter over multiplying channels, brands need to be everywhere their customers are. Suzy Davidkhanian, Vice President of Retail Insights at eMarketer, sits down with Jeremy Goldman to discuss why long-term retail success depends on a multichannel model and durable partnerships, despite the rise of generative AI. Inside the Episode: - The Omnichannel Business Model: Why the direct-to-consumer approach is no longer sustainable as a standalone business model - Creating Strong Partnerships: Why brands should evaluate partners based on shared values and audience alignment, focusing on building long-term equity rather than short-term sales spikes - Practical Impact of AI Shopping: How AI and predictive technology will automate routine reorders, shifting where ad dollars are spent rather than destroying them - Clean Data as the Foundation: Why true personalization and relevance are impossible without a solid data foundation AI is a powerful tool, but without a clean, focused retail operation, technology alone cannot salvage a broken strategy.
As retail leaders prepare for Shoptalk Europe 2026, the conversation is no longer centered on what AI could do.

In this episode, host Jeremy Goldman explores the fascinating intersection of AI, education, and language learning with his guest Steve Toy, the CEO of Memrise - a renowned language learning app. Toy, who has an extensive background in technology, mobile apps, and artificial intelligence, shares his insights on the transformative power AI can have in enhancing how we acquire new languages.He explains how AI enables personalized learning experiences by tailoring content to individual interests, filtering multimedia resources based on one's vocabulary level, and facilitating conversational practice through AI-powered chatbots. These capabilities essentially allow learners to replicate the immersive experience of being in the native country. Toy also highlights AI's role in providing valuable tools like pronunciation feedback and vocabulary games to cement learning.While acknowledging the ethical considerations around ensuring equitable access to AI across different markets to prevent widening socioeconomic gaps, Toy remains optimistic that freemium models can help democratize access to some extent. Beyond the practical applications, he emphasizes the broader cognitive, social, and career benefits of becoming multilingual. Most importantly, Toy believes learning languages fosters cross-cultural understanding - something vitally needed in today's increasingly divisive world. His perspective offers an inspiring vision for AI's potential to transform not just language acquisition but also cross-cultural connections.
