Podcasts about Kohl

Schon in den 1980ern war Deutschland bereit für Glasfaser – doch Helmut Kohl stoppte den Fortschritt, um gegen den »Rotfunk« die kulturelle Hegemonie wiederherzustellen. Der bis heute andauernde Digitalrückstand ist das Erbe dieses konservativen Kulturkampfs. Artikel vom 26. Juli 2025: https://jacobin.de/artikel/internet-glasfaser-cdu-kohl-rotfunk-infrastruktur-computer-rechner Seit 2011 veröffentlicht JACOBIN täglich Kommentare und Analysen zu Politik und Gesellschaft, seit 2020 auch in deutscher Sprache.

WHO DO YOU BLAME?Former CEO Jeff BezosAICovid (This wave of layoffs results from overhiring during the pandemic)Executive Chair and largest shareholder Jeff BezosF5 Expects Revenue Hit From Cyber Attack.

Sound familiar?Anyone who empowered the board to not be empowered when they tried to fire Sam Altman for such reasons as:Conflicts over OpenAI's rapid growth and direction, especially the tension between aggressive AI deployment vs. safety oversight.Power dynamics between Altman, key researchers, and board members — some may have felt he had too much unilateral control.The college that let Sam Altman drop outSammy Altman Citi's Jane Fraser consolidates power with board chair vote — and a $25 million-plus bonus to boot. WHO DO YOU BLAME?The entire Compensation, Performance Management and Culture CommitteeThese two long-tenured Compensation, Performance Management and Culture Committee membersDiana L. Taylor* 10 other directorships: Brookfield Corporation, Accion (Chair), Columbia Business School (Board of Overseers),Friends of Hudson River Park (Chair), Mailman School of Public Health (Board of Overseers), The Economic Club of New York (Member), Council on Foreign Relations (Member), Hot Bread Kitchen (Board Chair), Cold Spring Harbor Lab (Member), and New York City Ballet (Board Chair)Peter B.

Because he's a douche.MATTTarget is eliminating 1,800 roles as new CEO Michael Fiddelke gets set to take over the struggling retailer - WHO DO YOU BLAME?Current CEO Brian Cornell, who's “stepping down” to the role of Executive Chair - which is basically still CEO, just on the board and doesn't have to talk to employees anymore, so he can eliminate 1800 jobs and then fade away into a multimillion dollar unaccountable board roleFuture CEO Michael Fiddelke, who starts February 1, 2026, but is current COO and was forced to send the memo to employees telling them 8% of the workforce will be cutMonica Lozano, chair of the compensation and human capital management committee of the board, who's also on the BofA and Apple boards and is the most connected board member at a highly connected board - does the chair of the human capital committee have to weigh in on firing?OpenAI - the memo makes zero mention of the fact that part of Target's problem is that it shit on gays and blacks because of a feckless internet toad named Robby Starbuck, but feels very written by AI which would account for phrases like:“Adjusting our structure is one part of the work ahead of us. It will also require new behaviors and sharper priorities that strengthen our retail leadership in style and design and enable faster execution so we can: Lead with merchandising authority; Elevate the guest experience with every interaction; and Accelerate technology to enable our team and delight our guests.”Does anyone know what that word salad actually means? Doesn't it just mean “you're fired because we basically sucked at our jobs”?Hormel recalls 4.9M pounds of chicken possibly 'contaminated with pieces of metal' - WHO DO YOU BLAME?The audit committee, the closest committee responsible for enterprise risk (ie, metal in chicken) - Stephen M. Lacy, William A. Newlands (also lead director), Debbra L. Schoneman, Sally J. Smith (chair), Steven A. White, Michael P. ZechmeisterThe governance committee - James Snee, the now retired CEO who retired somehow in January but the company still hasn't found a permanent replacement 9 months later - so they're being run by Jeff Ettinger, interim CEO? Chair Gary C. Bhojwani, Elsa A. Murano, Ph.D., William A. Newlands (also lead director), Debbra L. Schoneman, Steven A. WhiteThe one black guy on the board - Steve White - who works at Comcast, is somehow qualified to be on Hormel board, and is on BOTH the audit committee AND governance committeeThe conveyor belt that spit pieces of metal as large as 17mm long into “fire braised chicken” sent to hotels and restaurantsCervoMed appoints McKinsey veteran David Quigley to board of directors - WHO DO YOU BLAME? Board is 2 VCs, a longtime biotech CFO, and five MD/PhDs. And among those 8, there are just two woman - the co-founder/wife of the CEO and a VC. And when they did their search, they could only find a longtime professional opinion haver - a consultant from the big three?Nominating committee for lack of imaginationEx or current McKinsey, Bain, and BCG employed directors - the opinion industrial complex - make up a whopping 4% of ALL US DIRECTORSAmong boards with MULTIPLE ex opinion directors: Kohl's is 25% consultantStarbucks is 27% consultantDisney is 30% consultantsWilliams-Sonoma is 38% consultantCBRE is 40% consultant!Nominating committee chair Jane Hollingsworth, for not looking around the room and saying, “hey dudes, can we add, like, maybe, ONE other lady?”Co founders Sylvie Gregoire and John Alam (also CEO) who own 17.3% of voting power - add in Josh Boger, board chair and 12.3% voter, and you basically have the CEO daddy and his buddy Josh with 29.6% of voting controlSylvie and John's bios, which neglect to mention they're married to one anotherWe are all terrified of the future - which headline is worse for your terror? WHO DO YOU BLAME?The world is about $4.5 trillion short of securing a sustainable food supply for the future, global food and ag business CEO saysBill Gates Says Climate Change ‘Will Not Lead to Humanity's Demise' - ostensibly because billionaires in bunkers will, in fact, survive on cans of metal-filled Hormel chili.Sorry, Yoda. Mentors are going out of styleMan Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His HouseJennifer Garner's baby food company is going public on the NYSE — should investors be putting their eggs in this basket?Woman Repeatedly Warned by Canadian Exchange Not to Transfer Crypto, Gets Scammed AnywayOpenAI completes restructure, solidifying Microsoft as a major shareholder - MSFT owns 27%, the non profit which controlled the company “for the benefit of humanity” now will only control it for 26% of humanity?Tesla risks losing CEO Musk if $1 trillion pay package isn't approved, board chair says - IF MUSK LEAVES, WHO DO YOU BLAME?Robyn Denholm, board chair, whose job it is to manage Musk, but does it like an overwhelmed permissive mother who parents with chocolate and Teletubbies when the kid has a tantrumKimbal Musk - I was told by a bunch of directors and institutional investors at a conference, no joke, that Kimbal was still on the board (ie, not voted out) to control his brother's ketamine intake and crazy episodes. So if he throws a tantrum and leaves, isn't it bro's fault? This is a binary trade - Musk gets extra pay/control, stock goes up and isn't de-meme'd. Musk doesn't, he leaves and the stock is de-meme'd and drops arguably by 66% or more to be more like a car company with some tech. So do we blame investors, no matter what they do? They meme'd the stock in the first place, he couldn't get a trillion extra dollars if they hadn't pumped up the stock - and now they could vote with humanity (no pay) or meme capitalism (pay)!Techbro middle school conservatism - is this Ben Shapiro and Joe Rogan's fault? A Yale economist paper suggests that Musk's politics cost between 1 and 1.26 million Tesla car sales… Would we even be worried if Musk stayed out of politics? Wouldn't the market have just paid him whatever?Pop quiz: which directors stay on the board if Musk leaves in a tantrum?Jeffrey StraubelKimbal MuskRobyn DenholmJames MurdochKathleen Wilson-ThompsonIra EhrenpreisJack HartungJoe Gebbia

This episode is brought to you by Commerce.For four decades, Ellis Verdi, Founder and President of DeVito/Verdi, has helped shape some of the most talked-about — and often controversial — campaigns in retail advertising. From launching Daffy's with bold, conceptual creative to working with Macy's, Kohl's, Men's Wearhouse and Meijer, Verdi has built a career on one philosophy: tell the truth, even if it ruffles feathers.Retail Remix host Nicole Silberstein sits down with Ellis to discuss what's changed (and what hasn't) about connecting with consumers, the ongoing tension between brand and performance marketing, and why controversy isn't always a bad thing — if it comes from an honest idea.Ellis shares the stories behind some of his favorite campaigns, including the infamous “straightjacket” Duffy's ad that sparked protests, and how ads for Macy's I.N.C. brand and Meijer's private label spinach redefined how retailers communicate value. He also weighs in on recent campaigns — like Levi's x Beyoncé and of course, Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle — that signal a welcome return to upper-funnel brand storytelling.Key Takeaways:Why conceptual advertising still matters in today's performance-driven landscape;How controversy can serve a campaign — when it's rooted in truth; andThe importance of balancing top-of-funnel branding with down-funnel ROI.Related LinksExplore DeVito/Verdi Advertising's creative work and legacyWatch the Macy's I.N.C. ad featuring Heidi KlumWatch the Meijer spinach adRelated reading: The Top 10 Best-Performing Retail Ads from the First Half of 2025Catch up on all episodes of Retail RemixGet more insights from retail industry leaders on Retail TouchPoints -----How to Win Customers Across Every ChannelThis guide from BigCommerce brings you expert insights on data, branding, and marketing to help you grow sales across every major channel.

Vom kleinen "Krauter" über "Kraut und Rüben" bis hin zu "Kohldampf": Kraut und Kohl sind tief verwurzelt in unserer Sprache. Wie kommt das? Eine Wortfeldanalyse mit Henning Lobin. Interview: Jörg Biesler.

Ob weiß, grün oder rot – spitz, gewellt oder rund: Kraut (norddeutsch: Kohl) ist ein erstaunlich vielfältiges Gemüse. Und es ist gesund! Eine Kohlforscherin erzählt ... Interview: Jörg Biesler.

Der Herbst ist gekommen. Doch das ist kein Grund, um kulinarisch Trübsal zu blasen. Gerade die deutsche Küche hat viele tolle herbstliche Gerichte zu bieten. Kartoffeln schmecken jetzt zum Beispiel besonders gut. Von WDR 5.

The Fat One is back to his regular routine but also works in shopping at the Kohl's, Costco and a mini Von's East coupon before nattering more about his trip to lost wages. Don't forget the picture at Noon today. Happy National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day.

Der Herbst ist reich an Genüssen: Kürbisse, Schwammerl, Kohl und Wurzelgemüse. Klingt vielleicht altbacken, kann freilich auch modern zubereitet werden. Der Sternekoch Johann Lafer ist bei Bettina Ahne zu Gast.

In this episode of The Intuitive Customer, Professor Ryan Hamilton is joined by guest host Ben Shaw to explore the high-stakes world of rebranding. From Cracker Barrel's logo backlash to Jaguar's radical design overhaul, they unpack what happens when brands chase new audiences at the expense of their loyal customers. The conversation dives into the tension between rebranding vs. repositioning, why heritage brands face special challenges, how politics and culture can hijack brand decisions, and practical lessons for leaders trying to grow without alienating their core base. Key Takeaways Rebrand ≠ Reposition: A visual refresh is not the same as shifting your audience or your value proposition, conflate the two at their peril. Respect the Core Customer: Growth shouldn't mean neglecting the customers who got you here; woo them as deliberately as you pursue new ones. Brand Stretch Matters: Broad idea-driven brands (e.g., Virgin, Crocs) can pivot more easily than heritage or status-driven brands (e.g., Jaguar, Burberry). Change Carries Political Luggage: In today's climate, even aesthetic changes can be interpreted as taking sides so plan for backlash and communication. Experience vs. Marketing: Quietly improving the customer experience often triggers less resistance than highly visible logo or messaging changes. Segment Conflicts Are Real: Pursuing one segment often pushes you away from another. Sub-brands Can Create Safe Space: When segments clash, consider sub-brands or status tiers to reduce friction (e.g., Nike's sport verticals, Burberry's London/Brit/Brit Prorsum). Heritage is an Asset and a Trap: Brands built on nostalgia or legacy often risk losing their most valuable equity if they modernise too aggressively. Resources & Brands Mentioned Ryan Hamilton & Annie's book: The Growth Dilemma – on managing relationships between customer segments. Brand case studies: Cracker Barrel, Jaguar, Burberry, Kohl's, Nike, Crocs, Virgin, Michael Kors.

Buhuhoooo, ihr kleinen Lakenschüttler,wenn sich der Nebel lichtet, könnt ihr die zwei Waschweiber betrachten. Sie reiben hart am Waschbrett die Gaming-Dreckwäsche und murren über ihr anstrengendes Dasein. Was sagen sie?"Ach, Essimeralda! Der grünliche Herr Miniaturweich hat wieder einmal alle Preise erhöht. Kann denn dieses Misere nicht einmal ein Ende nehmen? Nur noch Kohl und Kartoffeln. Jeden Tag." sie reibt kräftiger und ein grüner Streifen zieht sich durch das aufschäumende Wasser.Essimeralda schaut voller Gram auf ihre Freundin Janeinja und holt indes einen scharlachroten Schal aus dem Wäschekorb und legt ihn auf ihr verrottetes Waschbrett. "Hör dir mal zu, Janeinja, jammerst wie eine Dirne ohne Männlein über dein Schicksal, obwohl du es selbst gewählt hast. Wusstest doch was für ein Typ das ist, der Miniaturweich." Beide ziehen die fusseligen Brauen zusammen, schauen einander tief in die Augen und ziehen dann lautstark die letzten Rest Kohlsuppe aus der Speiseröhre und rotzen sie halb rülpsend in den Fluss, der nun in grün-roten Farben getaucht ist. "Hast ja recht, aber dein Handhimmelglück ist ja nicht besser. Nur hinter Öre her. Immer. Bringt sogar diesen gierigen Flaschner immer und immer wieder zurück. Pah, was eine Gier. Wo soll das alles enden, Essimeralda?" "Weiß ich net, Janeinja, aber was ich weiß is', das is' das wir immerhin wissen was wir wollen und nicht wollen. Und sind dabei immer ehrlich zueinander. Reden wie Gott uns das Maul in die Visage geklöppelt hat." Die Weiber drücken ihre knackenden Rücken durch und stehen knietief im Wasser. Die Wäsche hängt belanglos über den Eimern der Waschbretter, als würden sie sich nicht für das Gerede interessieren. Es stimmt auch.Die beiden schroffen Weiber schauen sich wieder an. "Wollen wir Pflaumen pflücken?"Der Wind weht. Das Wasser fließt. Die Wäsche hängt. Tropfend. Die Weiber schweigen. "Erst Podcast." "Was?" Die Zeit vergeht. Der Leuchtstreifen des Gaming ist in Sicht.Sanfte GrüßeJanina & Essi

Today on The Rock Fight, Colin, Eoin Comerford, and Producer Dave tackle a packed week of outdoor industry news!First up, the crew reacts to the latest ripple effects of Outdoor Retailer's Minnesota move and whether the industry is being too quick to jump on the “OR is back” bandwagon. With questions around the “Leadership Village,” the role of run and lifestyle categories, and whether the show truly knows who it's for, Colin and Eoin argue that defining the audience is the only way forward. (05:56)Next, the conversation turns to Bass Pro's acquisition of Hobie. Once a pioneering surf and sailing brand turned kayak powerhouse, Hobie has faced dealer frustration, supply chain nightmares, and brand drift. Will Bass Pro revive Hobie, turn it into a house brand, or alienate specialty retailers even further? Dave dives into Hobie's rich heritage and what Bass Pro could do with the name; if they think beyond fishing kayaks. (13:23)The lightning round brings more industry headlines (21:20):Kohl's pushes its FLX line into kids' activewear.Keen jumps into the crowded trail running shoe market with “The Seek.”Arc'teryx shrugs off PR fallout from its controversial Himalayan fireworks stunt.Support those who support The Rock Fight! Today's sponsors: Ibex, Fjallraven, Lems Shoes, Royal Robbins, and Conatus Counsel! (26:18)Finally, the hosts analyze REI's new strategic plan, Peak 28. With four lofty pillars—culture, assortment, service, and membership—the co-op hints at big changes ahead. But with payroll bloat, declining margins, and vague promises, the question remains: will REI truly reinvent itself, or is this just frosting on an underbaked cake? (30:37)The show closes with The Parting Shot presented by Garage Grown Gear, celebrating a big week for women-led outdoor brands like Wild Rye, Gnara, and Title Nine's Pitchfest. Proof that despite the challenges, inspiring things are happening across the outdoor landscape. (39:59)Thanks for listening! The Rock Fight is a production of Rock Fight, LLC.

Es war eine Woche großer Reden oder zumindest solcher, die groß angekündigt waren. Trump vor der UN, Merz im Bundestag und, fraglos die bedeutendste: Markus Söder auf Kloster Banz mit einer CSU- Grundsatzrede.Die Teilzeitarbeit bei Lehrern will er einschränken, das Handy bis zur 7. Klasse aus dem Klassenzimmer werfen und Franz Josef Strauß in die Walhalla in Donaustauf holen. Zusammen mit der Philosophin Hannah Arendt. Wenn das keine Grundsätze sind.Der Strauß sei schließlich sein Vorbild gewesen, sagt der Söder, was man dem Strauß absolut nicht zum Vorwurf machen kann. Und wäre das schon der Grund für eine Aufnahme in die bayerische Ruhmeshalle über der Donau, Söders Vorbild zu sein, dann würden demnächst womöglich auch Darth Vader und Captain Kirk dort aufgenommen, ganz abgesehen von Edmund Stoiber, als dessen leidenschaftlicher Anhänger sich Söder einst auch bekannt hat. "Ich bin Stoiberianer" hat er gesagt, damals, kurz vor Edmunds Sturz.Nein, für eine Aufnahme in die Walhalla braucht's schon mehr.Für bedeutende Persönlichkeiten "teutscher Zunge" hat sie König Ludwig I. errichten lassen und davon sind auch reichlich welche drin. Luther, Goethe, Heine, Bismarck, Adenauer.Das hat wahrscheinlich die Freien Wähler auf den Plan gerufen. "Die Walhalla ist kein CSU- Stammtisch" hat der Kulturexperte der Partei verlauten lassen. Wobei der Adenauer ja in der CDU war. Also wenn, dann wär's ein Unionsstammtisch, ein sehr kleiner, an dem sich für die Freien Wähler wohl kein Platz fände. Außerdem hätte ja der Strauß schon einen Flughafen, sagt der Freie Wähler- Sprecher weiter. Das stimmt. Den hat der Adenauer allerdings auch. Man könnte ja vielleicht den Strauß- Flughafen in Hubert- Aiwanger- Airport umbenennen, in Eitsch-Äj-Äj (HAA), dann wäre die Mehrheit in der Staatsregierung für den Strauß in der Walhalla gesichert. Zumal es der große Vorsitzende Aiwanger wohl auch beim besten Willen nicht in die Walhalla schaffen wird. Teutsche Zunge und so. Vielleicht der Bruder. Egal.Mythologisch betrachtet ist Walhall ja der Wohnort der gefallenen Krieger, wo einen die Walküren hin geleiten und Wotan herrscht.Das mit dem herrschenden Wotan dürfte Strauß schon mal gar nicht gefallen, schließlich ist er doch schon im Himmel seit der Ankunft Ratzingers nur noch stellvertretender Vorsitzender, heißt's.Aber der Mythos, der passt zu Strauß, vor allem der des gefallenen Kriegers. Er hat gegen Augstein verloren, gegen Schmidt, gegen Kohl. 1976 in Wildbad Kreuth, als er die CSU bundesweit ausdehnen wollte, sogar gegen die eigene Parteibasis. Wo passt so einer besser hin als auf die Burg Walhall? Mögen die Walküren ihn geleiten.Eben alles eine Frage der Perspektive.

This week's episode marks the second edition  of "The Analysts" once again bringing together the sharpest minds in global retail. This time we welcome Sucharita Kodali, Vice President & Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, and Neil Saunders, Managing Director at GlobalData Retail for a lively, insight rich discussion about the future of retail.The episode kicks off with U.S. retail sales results from the NRF/CNBC Retail Monitor and the US Census Bureau, which showed surprisingly strong growth despite inflation, tariffs, and shaky consumer sentiment. Neil and Sucharita explain why inflation-adjusted numbers tell a more modest story, while digging into the growing disconnect between historically low consumer confidence and healthy sales. They highlight how wealth concentration and media filter bubbles distort the economic picture, making retail performance appear stronger or weaker depending on perspective."The Analysts" then turn to the state of mega-brand retail turnarounds. Neil delivers a tough assessment of Kohl's—calling it the “turnaround that never happened”—while offering cautious optimism on Macy's and Gap, which are showing small but real signs of progress. Sucharita points to structural weaknesses in department stores but also notes resilience in Walmart, Costco, and dollar stores. Together, they weigh how tariffs, operational missteps, and consumer shifts complicate recovery.Next up: AI in retail. Sucharita underscores that artificial intelligence isn't new—retailers have relied on it for years in pricing, supply chain, and labor planning. The novelty lies in generative AI and so-called “agentic AI,” which she characterizes as incremental rather than revolutionary thus far. The panel agrees that while these tools can deliver efficiency, they're unlikely to transform the top or bottom line soon—though Amazon's deep AI and automation investments continue to give it a strategic edge.Looking ahead, holiday forecasts are mixed. Deloitte predicts growth under 3.5%, while eMarketer forecasts just 1.2%. Neil and Sucharita expect more resilience driven by consumers' determination to celebrate. The panel also highlights Amazon's bold logistics move to fulfill orders for Walmart and Shein, underscoring its unmatched infrastructure advantage.The discussion closes with Steve, Michael, Neil and Sucharita each offering what's on their radar screen, including Saks Global's financial turbulence, macroeconomic signals like inflation and jobs data, and AI's potential labor impacts.  About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers.

Do you feel like the stock market is a game rigged against everyday people? Maybe you've tried dabbling in stocks, only to be overwhelmed with emotions, paralyzed by indecision, or burned by losses. Why do some investors consistently win while most struggle to even get started? And what if the key to building wealth isn't luck—or insider knowledge—but a proven system that takes the guesswork out of investing?Enter Sean Tepper. Sean is the Founder and CEO of Tykr, a platform empowering over 12,000 customers across 50+ countries to confidently navigate the stock market. His journey reflects a deep understanding of both business and investment, honed over 20+ years in the corporate world and 15+ years dedicated to building wealth. He built and successfully merged a thriving agency in the 2000s, followed by a decade (2011–2023) as a highly sought-after project management consultant for industry giants like GE, Kohler, Kohl's, and Direct Supply.What makes Sean unique is not just his experience, but his passion for making financial literacy accessible to all. In 2016, he created a simple Excel-based investment tool that generated over 15% returns for himself. By 2020, he transformed it into Tykr, a sophisticated yet user-friendly software platform designed to take emotions out of investing and empower people to grow wealth with confidence.In this episode, Sean shares how he went from corporate consultant to entrepreneur, why most traders fail while investors succeed, and the principles behind Tykr that can help you achieve greater financial freedom—and a more fulfilling life.Quotes:“People really want more than anything, and you hit on the word, which is confidence—they want the ability to know what stocks to look for, what to avoid. It's literally the rest your head on your pillow at night and sleep better than you ever had before.”“Let us not become weary in doing good, because at the right time, you will reap a harvest if you don't give up. If you're providing value and there are people that are verbally saying thank you, or like you're seeing people that are getting results, but you've got no fruit out of it—not yet—keep doing it.”“It's the little steps. There's too many people set like, these massive goals, and then if they don't hit it, they're disappointed and disappointed stop. It's the little steps, that's what you want to chip away at.”Key Takeaways:Invest, don't trade → Ask yourself: are you trying to “get rich quick” by trading, or building long-term wealth through disciplined investing? 99% of traders lose money—investors win by letting their money work for them.Focus beats diversification (at first) → Instead of spreading thin across dozens of stocks, concentrate on 10–15 strong businesses if you're in growth mode. Diversification is for wealth protection later, not wealth building now.Use math, not emotions → Before making your next investment move, ask: Am I reacting emotionally, or am I following a proven system? Building confidence starts by trusting data over feelings.ConclusionSean Tepper proves that investing doesn't have to be overwhelming, emotional, or reserved for Wall Street insiders. With the right system, the right mindset, and a commitment to values, anyone can build wealth and confidence in the stock market. His journey with Tykr is a reminder that financial literacy is not just about numbers—it's about empowerment, freedom, and creating a life of greater impact.If you've been waiting for the “perfect time” to start investing, this episode shows you that the best time is now—and that you don't have to do it alone.

The Remarkable Retail Podcast kicks off Season 11 with a powerful episode featuring a first-ever guest co-host: Ethan Chernofsky, Chief Marketing Officer of Placer.ai. The episode opens with a lively discussion of tariffs and trade turbulence, a recurring theme reshaping global retail strategies. Ethan shares data-driven insights from Placer.ai on how consumer behavior is shifting under economic uncertainty, while Steve highlights how pricing power and category positioning determine which retailers can weather cost pressures. Together, they unpack what's next as outsized tariffs hit key markets like India, Brazil, and Switzerland.The conversation then pivots to retailer performance, starting with Target's leadership shake-up. Steve critiques the choice of an insider CEO while Ethan provides Placer.ai traffic data showing continuing traffic declines. The group debates Target's future—whether its famed “Tar-zhay” positioning can be revived by refocusing on differentiation. From there, they contrast Target's struggles with Walmart's momentum, exploring how digital sales, retail media, and membership growth continue to power the world's largest retailer's outsized performance..Speaking of Amazon, the trio examines the company's great expanded same-day grocery delivery, setting up a fresh battleground with Walmart. They also analyze the broader bifurcation of retail, where premium players and discounters gain share while middle-market brands face mounting challenges.Moving on the episode digs into the most talked about stories making headlines. Topics include the Cracker Barrel rebrand backlash, American Eagle's bold Sydney Sweeney campaign, and the AI battle for talent, which borders on the ridiculous..Finally, the team peers around the corner, curious about whether iconic brands in transition such as Gap, Kohl's, Macy's, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale's can regain any traction in the fae of growing headwinds. They also discuss shifting enclosed mall dynamics of malls. Ethan underscores that while A-class malls thrive with innovative tenants, some moribund B-class centers are finding new life by reinventing themselves.

Christine Short and Zach Warring cover retailer earnings. Christine thinks the “cautious consumer” is one of retail's biggest headwinds as 2Q shows beats despite tariffs. She notes that value is leading, expecting lower-priced namesake brands like Abercrombie (ANF) or Urban Outfitters (URBN) to see strength there. Zach has a Strong Buy rating on ANF, but has a Sell rating on Kohl's (KSS) over valuation. He also likes TJX (TJX), which is “obviously gaining market share,” and Ross Stores (ROST).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Among them, Kohl's (KSS), which rallied 20% after posting an earnings beat. PVH Corp. (PVH) also moved higher after the company topped expectations.

Felix Salmon, Elizabeth Spiers, and Emily Peck examine the so called DORK stocks – Krispy Kreme (DNUT), Opendoor (OPEN), Rocket Mortgage (RKT) and Kohl's (KSS) among others – and what this resurgence of meme stocks says about the state of the market. Then, the Trump administration's laissez-faire attitude toward financial regulation has encouraged a return of crypto ventures like Polymarket to the US. The hosts discuss this sea change and whether this lack of oversight will lead to a financial crisis. And finally, CBS says its cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is purely a financial decision despite coinciding with Paramount's settlement with number one Stephen Colbert hater Donald Trump. Was the decision all political, all financial, or all of the above? In the Slate Plus episode: The Summer Reads Edition Want to hear that discussion and hear more Slate Money?
