How does an iconic Canadian outdoor retailer turn a return to Canadian ownership into lasting growth? On this episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc sits down with Chris Speyer, Chief Merchandising Officer and Equity Partner at MEC (Mountain Equipment Company), and Michele Guimond, VP of Marketing at MEC. They talk candidly about brand trust, merchandising strategy, community building and what it takes to win in Canadian retail today.Chris traces MEC's journey from beloved co-op to U.S. private equity ownership. In May 2025, a small group of equity partners, including Chris, brought it back to majority Canadian ownership. A proud fellow Ottawa native, Chris returned to Canada after nearly two decades in the U.S., including years as Chief Merchandising Officer at REI. He explains how MEC has refocused on climbing, hiking, camping and backpacking, and why it refuses to out-discount Amazon or Walmart. That discipline is delivering double-digit revenue growth and stronger full-price margins.Michele, whose background includes Aritzia and Arc'teryx, explains why MEC never lost its "Canadianness" through the ownership changes. She says trust lives in the one-to-one moments between members and expert staff. She shares two powerful signals from the past 18 months: a re-engaged core of loyal members and a fast-growing cohort of new customers choosing MEC for the first time.The conversation digs into the buy Canadian movement and how consumers really shop it. Canadian origin is a helpful decision filter, but quality, durability, sustainability and innovation come first. Chris spotlights Canadian trail running brands including Norda, Ciele, NAAK and Arc'teryx, alongside MEC's own label. He also unpacks how tariffs and supplier negotiations are reshaping retail buying.Michele introduces Train for the Trails, MEC's free national community program. It offers digital training guides, expert coaches, and local group runs for everyone from first-time 5K runners to seasoned racers. Chris also weighs in on REI and the future of specialty outdoor retail in the U.S.The episode closes with sharp holiday 2026 retail advice. Michele urges marketers to win authentically, build relationships instead of transactions and invest in post-holiday lifecycle marketing. Chris makes the case for curated accessories, uncompromising peak-season service and targeted promotions over blanket discounts. He also explains why expert store staff should check AI product recommendations.And listen for a little breaking news: Chris reveals that MEC is opening a smaller-format store in Whistler Village this November, featuring a curated collection focused on MEC's own label.Whether you're a retail executive, marketer, merchant or outdoor enthusiast, this is a masterclass in brand trust and purpose-driven growth.

Can it really be 10 years since Sellers, Valentino, and LeBlanc laid out an amaing and actionable list of supervision activities for behavior analysts to follow? Yup, you're that much older! And while you're undoubtedly better than your younger self, could the field of supervision say the same thing? This week Dr. Amber Valentino joins us to share the growth of supervision research in ABA, the areas and practices where we can still improve, and a new means of objectively evaluating just how well (or...not) your supervision behaviors are going. Learning Objectives: Participants will describe the five target areas described in Sellers et al. (2016).  Participants will identify why relationship building is vital in supervision.  Participants will describe the advantages of using the supervision calculator.  This episode is available for 1.0 SUPERVISION CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Sellers, T.P., Valentino, A.L., LeBlanc, L.A. (2016). Recommended practices for individual supervision of aspiring behavior analysts.

Building a successful health coaching or wellness practice takes more than being great at helping clients. If your entire business depends on you showing up, seeing clients, and doing everything yourself, eventually something has to give. In this episode of the Health Coach Academy Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Brandy LeBlanc, an acupuncturist, entrepreneur, and creator of the Practice Profit Blueprint, to explore how wellness practitioners can build businesses that are profitable, sustainable, and capable of growing beyond the practitioner. Dr. LeBlanc's entrepreneurial journey began with a single treatment room and a rolling cart. Over time, she expanded her practice—but after experiencing serious burnout, she discovered a major flaw in the business she had created: the entire practice revolved around her. When she tried bringing in other practitioners, patients still wanted to see only her. That experience forced her to rethink what it really means to build a wellness business. Rather than simply creating a personal brand, Dr. LeBlanc began identifying what clients valued about their experience and developing systems that could reproduce those qualities throughout the practice. The goal was to create consistency so that clients could receive the same level of service regardless of which practitioner they saw. One of her biggest breakthroughs came from something surprisingly simple: knowing her numbers. After years of avoiding the financial side of her business, Dr. LeBlanc began reviewing her finances regularly, including conducting a P&L review every Monday. Understanding exactly what was coming in and going out gave her a stronger foundation for making business decisions and planning for the future. We also dig into the concept of "money leaks"—expenses and decisions that can quietly drain a wellness business. From purchasing expensive equipment before it is necessary to leasing a large office before having enough clients, hiring too many employees, or simply not knowing how much profit each client generates, small financial decisions can have enormous consequences. Dr. LeBlanc explains why she believes entrepreneurs should start lean, establish the fundamentals, and build a strong foundation before attempting to scale. They also discuss her Practice Profit Blueprint, which helps practitioners identify weaknesses in their businesses and progress through three stages: provider, business owner, and legacy. That foundation can include financial awareness, legal and operational requirements, business agreements, insurance-related requirements, safety procedures, and other systems that allow an owner to grow with greater confidence. In This Episode, You'll Discover: Why building your entire business around your personality can eventually become a liability How burnout changed Dr. LeBlanc's approach to entrepreneurship The difference between being a great practitioner and building a great business Why health coaches and wellness professionals need to understand their numbers How regularly reviewing your P&L can change the way you make business decisions How to identify hidden money leaks in your practice Why starting small can sometimes be smarter than immediately investing in a large office or expensive equipment The dangers of hiring too many employees before understanding your revenue Why you need to know how much money you actually make per client or patient How to create systems that allow other practitioners to deliver a consistent client experience Why hiring for alignment with your mission and values matters How an assistant, understudy, or protégé can help remove day-to-day pressure from the practitioner Dr. LeBlanc's three stages of business development: Provider → Business Owner → Legacy How to begin creating income and impact beyond simply trading hours for dollars Dr. LeBlanc also shares an important lesson for health coaches who dream about eventually stepping away from constant client work: don't wait until you're already exhausted to start building a business that can operate without you. Her own experience led her to begin developing additional support, training an understudy, and gradually building the Practice Profit Blueprint while continuing her clinical work. Whether you're just starting your health coaching business or have a full client roster but feel trapped by the demands of your practice, this conversation offers a practical look at what it takes to move from self-employed practitioner to true business owner—and eventually create a business with a legacy beyond yourself.

AI-powered discovery is no longer niche behaviour. It's now a mainstream step in the shopping journey, and holiday 2026 will be the first peak season where retailers compete for the attention of shoppers and AI agents alike. In this episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc welcomes back Caila Schwartz, Head of Agentic Commerce and Shopper Insights at Salesforce, to unpack the latest Salesforce State of Commerce research and share what Canadian retailers can still do before Black Friday.Caila, who has studied holiday shopping for more than a decade, explains why consumers adopted agentic AI so quickly, with AI-driven discovery up 200% year over year. The data shows Canadian commerce leaders ahead of the global average on agentic AI adoption, yet three times more likely to be stuck in pilot mode. Caila says the gap comes down to data strategy: launching an AI agent without clean, unified data is risky, especially under Canadian consumer protection and privacy rules.With peak season approaching, Caila lays out a practical holiday readiness plan. First, turn on the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) to feed accurate product, pricing and inventory data directly into ChatGPT, as bot traffic from OpenAI, Gemini, Meta AI, TikTok and Amazon surges across ecommerce sites. Second, optimize product detail pages for AI agents with human-written, use-case-driven product descriptions and FAQ sections covering holiday shipping deadlines and policies. Third, manage customer reviews on your own site and on third-party platforms like Reddit and Trustpilot, because large language models are pulling that content into their answers about your brand.The conversation also explores how product discovery is shifting: discovery on brand-owned properties is down 7%, traditional search is down 15%, and AI assistants and social are up 38%. Caila makes the case that retailers now need an SEO strategy, an LLM strategy and a social shopping strategy, all unified, and explains why customer service is becoming central to marketing.Physical stores remain the heart of holiday retail, with more than 80% of Canadians preferring to shop in store. But 79% of shoppers are on their phones in the aisle, 12% are asking AI assistants for purchase advice, and 48% of Canadians research products before they arrive. Caila explains why consistent pricing and promotions across channels matter, and how unified customer profiles can empower store associates.Finally, Michael and Caila tackle autonomous shopping. Will Canadians let an AI agent complete a purchase? Caila's research suggests shoppers want AI for discovery and personalized recommendations, but still want to own the checkout on the brand's website.Whether you're a retail executive, ecommerce leader or marketer, this episode is your essential guide to agentic commerce, AI search, omnichannel retail and holiday 2026 strategy.See All the data and insights here:https://www.salesforce.com/news/stories/agentic-search-growth/ Presented by Konek, Canada's Way to Pay.

L'avenir de l'Afrique passera par le train pour le spécialiste du ferroviaire, Claude Leblanc, qui sillonne le monde à la rencontre des transporteurs. Son nouveau livre, La Géopolitique du train, nous apprend que derrière la Chine, d'autres pays comme l'Inde ou la Turquie s'investissent dans la construction de chemins de fer en Afrique. Édité aux éditions Presses universitaires de France, l'ouvrage nous montre qu'une voie ferrée est un transport qui favorise la cohésion d'un pays.     RFI : Vous parlez beaucoup du continent africain et de son avenir… Claude Leblanc : Ce n'est pas moi qui le dis, mais je pense qu'on vit un deuxième âge d'or du ferroviaire aujourd'hui. Et en fait, les pays africains sont ceux qui sont engagés justement dans l'avenir du ferroviaire parce qu'ils ont compris que grâce au ferroviaire, ils pouvaient franchir une étape dans la transition écologique : plutôt que de construire des routes, construisons la voie ferrée. Vous parlez des pays qui sont déjà très investis dans cette construction de voie ferrée en Afrique, de la Turquie, du Japon, de la Chine, des États-Unis… Évidemment, parce qu'aujourd'hui, dans beaucoup de pays africains, il y a le souvenir de la colonisation qui fait qu'on a une certaine réticence à travailler, ou en tout cas à être en partenariat, avec les pays qui étaient les anciens colonisateurs. Et il y a une offre nouvelle de la part d'autres pays – alors, évidemment, il y a la Chine, un pays comme la Turquie, l'Inde – et il y a aussi l'expérience, j'allais dire pratique, de la construction de voies ferrées, parce qu'on ne construit pas une voie ferrée en claquant des doigts. Donc les Chinois ont gagné une certaine assurance en termes de construction. Ils sont capables de construire beaucoup moins cher et beaucoup plus rapidement que n'importe qui d'autre. Les Turcs suivent un peu la même voie. Et du coup, évidemment, ces pays-là, les pays africains qui en ont besoin, vont regarder vers ces offres. Parce que ce qui est intéressant aussi, ce n'est pas simplement de construire une voie ferrée dans un pays, mais c'est de faire que cette voie ferrée débouche… Par exemple, avec le Kenya, l'Angola, etc., il y a des interconnexions qui se mettent en place parce qu'il y a une communauté d'intérêts économiques qui se crée dans cette région. Et donc on a compris que le train était un excellent moyen de favoriser ces échanges. Vous qui connaissez l'Afrique, vous qui connaissez le monde entier, quels sont les pays qui vous ont vraiment étonné, surpris en matière de vitesse, de rapidité de décision ? Les pays d'Asie centrale sont ceux qui m'ont sans doute le plus frappé parce qu'en Ouzbékistan, par exemple, le pays travaille sur un projet qui paraît fou aujourd'hui, qui est la Trans Afghan, donc de faire passer une voie de chemin de fer vers l'océan, enfin la mer d'Arabie, l'océan Indien, pour avoir un débouché sur la mer. Ils peuvent bien sûr développer leur économie locale, mais aussi, derrière, amener leur influence. C'est ça, je dirais, la force du ferroviaire aujourd'hui. Parce qu'on se rend bien compte que dans nos pays, y compris en France, où on parle beaucoup de fracture sociale, etc., l'unité d'un pays, elle passe par le ferroviaire.

Recorded at the 2026 Milwaukee Tool Pipeline, Producer Paul sits down with journeyman lineman, troubleman, and content creator Aaron LeBlanc, better known online as Bobsdecline, for a conversation about linework, safety, leadership, emergency response, and authentic content creation in the power utility industry.Aaron shares his favorite tools and innovations from Milwaukee Pipeline 2026, including the new wire puller, expanded battery capabilities, and jobsite products that can make long shifts safer and more practical. He also explains why the best trade content should feel like an experienced lineman teaching an apprentice on the job, not someone reading from a rehearsed sales script.The conversation goes deeper into Aaron's work as a utility troubleman and first responder. He discusses responding to house fires, vehicle accidents, downed power lines, live-front transformers, and other emergency situations where linemen must quickly identify electrical hazards, communicate with emergency personnel, and make the scene safe.Aaron and Paul also discuss the emotional side of emergency response, the importance of seeking help after difficult incidents, and why conversations about mental health are becoming more accepted across the power utility and construction industries.The episode also explores how Aaron uses Bobsdecline to provide practical lineworker education, create training resources, learn from other linemen around the world, and build trust through transparency. From accepting feedback and acknowledging mistakes to protecting your credibility when working with brands, Aaron explains why authenticity remains one of the most valuable things a creator can bring to the skilled trades.The conversation closes with Aaron's partnership with Climbin' for Kids, his limited-edition challenge coin supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and rapid-fire lessons for apprentices, foremen, and the next generation of lineworkers.Whether you are a journeyman lineman, apprentice, foreman, troubleman, utility professional, first responder, or skilled-trades content creator, this episode offers practical lessons on safety, leadership, communication, career longevity, and representing the line trade with integrity.Follow Aaron “Bobsdecline” LeBlancYouTube: Search “Bobsdecline”Instagram: Search “Bobsdecline”Facebook: Search “Bobsdecline”Aaron's primary content is available on YouTube.

Send us Fan MailFor the first time in seven Renaissance Women's Summits, I walked away feeling like this wasn't the culmination of everything we had been building.It was the beginning.There is so much ahead.For years, I've continued moving forward with this vision even during seasons when I wasn't completely sure where it was leading. And this year, something clicked. All of those years of moving forward without having perfect clarity created the clarity and confidence I have now about where Renaissance Women is going.In this episode, I'm taking you inside the 2026 Renaissance Women's Summit at Riverwood Mansion—the room, the women, the conversations, the moments that surprised me, and what I learned from hosting our seventh Summit.I'm sharing some of my biggest takeaways about building a business and brand that feels authentically YOU, doing the things that scare you, learning how to pivot when things inevitably don't go according to plan, and remembering to deeply pour into the people who have already chosen to show up for you.Because this year, the women in the room weren't simply the audience.They were the event.Their businesses. Their dreams. Their questions. Their vulnerability. Their willingness to connect and be seen.And that realization leads directly into what comes next.At the Summit, we officially launched Renaissance Women, and today I finally get to introduce it to our podcast community.Renaissance Women is a social media and visibility-forward community for women founders who want to become known for what they do.Because visibility creates opportunity.This isn't about becoming an influencer. It's about becoming known—for your expertise, for the problem you solve, for the business you're building, and by the people you're meant to serve.Inside Renaissance Women, we're bringing together social media strategy, content, messaging, visibility, coaching, accountability, real relationships, and in-person experiences to help women stop building alone and start becoming more visible alongside women who get it.The Summit is no longer the destination.It's the launching pad.The podcast, the community, the Summit, and everything we're building from here are becoming one Renaissance Women ecosystem—and I have never felt more certain about where we're going.If you've been listening to this podcast and wishing you could take the conversation beyond your headphones and actually be in community with us, this is your invitation.❤️ JOIN THE RENAISSANCE WOMEN COMMUNITY:And to every woman who walked through the doors of Riverwood Mansion, every speaker who poured into our women, my incredible team, and every partner who believed in this vision: thank you.A special thank-you to our 2026 Summit partners and sponsors: Entreprenista, Gift House, Myrrh Candle Co., STAT Wellness, ILA, Kate Tran, Amplify Boutique, Asulon Coffee, Edit Rentals, Juno, Bach Babes, Lifestyle by LeBlanc, R Public Relations Firm, The Legal Apothecary, Anchor, Southern Domestic Diva, NexusPoint, and Hey Hey Creative.The Summit was just the beginning.Welcome to Renaissance Women. ❤️Support the showAbout The Host:Sydney Dozier, the visionary behind Renaissance Marketing Group, has been at the forefront of social media excellence since the agency's inception in 2014.

Sustainability in retail and consumer packaged goods has spent years filed under advocacy, reporting and good intentions. Ann Tracy, Chief Sustainability Officer at Colgate-Palmolive, wants it filed under growth.In this episode of The Voice of Retail, Ann joins me from Colgate-Palmolive's research centre in Piscataway, New Jersey, ahead of her appearance at the Retail Council of Canada Retail Sustainability Conference in Toronto, where she takes the stage October 28 for a fireside chat with RCC President and CEO Kim Furlong.Ann brings an unusual lens to the sustainability conversation. An engineer by training, she has spent more than 35 years at Colgate-Palmolive, most of it in the global supply chain, with assignments across Asia, Europe, the UK and the United States spanning manufacturing, customer service, logistics and divisional supply chain leadership. That operating background shapes how she runs the file today, after the role moved from the supply chain into the company's growth and strategy team, making it broader, more enterprise-wide, and embedded in the business strategy itself.She also gives listeners a useful reminder of the scale involved. Colgate-Palmolive marks 220 years in the United States this year, generates over twenty billion dollars in net revenue, employs roughly 34,000 people and sells in 200 countries across four core categories: oral care, home care, personal care with regional icons like Palmolive, Sanex and Irish Spring, and pet nutrition through Hill's Pet Nutrition, plus a growing premium skin health business. Colgate sits in more homes than any other brand in the world. At that volume, a small packaging design change ripples through plastic tonnage, pallet counts and the entire retail supply chain.The heart of our conversation is the 2030 sustainability strategy, which Ann describes as an evolution rather than a revolution, building on the sunset 2025 plan across three ambition spaces: driving social impact, helping millions of homes, and preserving the environment. What distinguishes 2030 is a hard lean into value creation, and her insistence that sustainability teams learn to speak finance and marketing rather than acronyms and temperature scenarios.We dig into the intention-action gap, where more than ninety percent of consumers say they support sustainability but far fewer act on it because they will not trade away price, convenience, quality or performance, nor should they. We also cover long-term resilience, the finite nature of plant, mineral, animal and fossil-fuel-based ingredients, and why retailers are essential partners in shaping value creation on physical and e-commerce shelves.A smart, practical listen for retailers, CPG leaders, merchants and sustainability professionals heading to Toronto in October.Connect with Ann Tracy on LinkedIn, and catch her with Kim Furlong at the Retail Council of Canada Retail Sustainability Conference on October 28.https://rccretailsustainability.ca/ Presented by Konek, Canada's Way to Pay.

AI is forcing higher education to confront a question much bigger than whether students are using ChatGPT to cheat: What is a university actually for?In this episode of Start the Week with Wisdom, former Southern New Hampshire University president Paul LeBlanc joins Bridget Burns and Sarah Custer to discuss the future of higher education in an AI world. Drawing on more than two decades leading SNHU, LeBlanc explains why artificial intelligence could fundamentally reshape college, white-collar work, assessment, university leadership, and the skills students need for the future.He also shares the thinking behind his new book, Reclaiming Purpose: The University in an AI World, and lays out a practical path for university leaders navigating the transition. From getting institutional data and cybersecurity in order to creating clearer AI policies, redesigning broken assessment systems, and developing a real theory about the future of work, this conversation offers a framework for colleges trying to move beyond reaction and toward leadership.And underneath it all is a bigger possibility: AI may give universities an opportunity to reclaim their original purpose of developing not only better workers, but better human beings.You'll Learn:→ Why Paul LeBlanc believes universities need clear fixed, flexible, and free policies for artificial intelligence, and why inconsistent AI rules are frustrating students.→ How generative AI is exposing weaknesses in traditional college assessment, including an overreliance on papers, tests, and measures that may not actually demonstrate learning.→ Why every academic department needs a theory about the future of work and must reconsider what graduates need to know and be able to do as AI changes professional careers.→ Why LeBlanc believes the biggest opportunity for higher education may be moving beyond workforce preparation and reclaiming a broader mission centered on human development, relationships, purpose, and society.Learn more about the UIA by visiting:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterYouTubeFacebookThis week's episode is sponsored by Mainstay, a student retention and engagement tool where you can increase student and staff engagement with the only platform consistently proven to boost engagement, retention, and wellbeing.

How do you lead when trust in business, government, and media is at a generational low? On this episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc welcomes Keith Wyche, Fortune 500 board director, keynote speaker, and author of the new book Uncommon Leadership: A Blueprint for Restoring Integrity, Trust, and People-Centred Leadership.Keith's retail story begins in the back room of one of Ohio's largest Sears stores, working the paint department as a college intern. From there, he built a career inside organizations in the middle of massive change: AT&T as the Bell monopoly broke apart, IBM as it shifted from hardware to solutions, then grocery at Cub Foods, where he spent his first months cutting meat, icing cakes, running a register, and stocking freight to understand the work before changing it.He shares the hard feedback that explained why he kept hitting quota at IBM but never got promoted: without followership, there is no leadership. That lesson underpins his trust formula, character times competency times consistency, where a zero in any one factor cancels the other two. Keith and Michael dig into why leadership drifted from service to self-interest, pointing to quarterly earnings pressure, a celebrity culture that rewards charisma over character, and CEO pay that has climbed from roughly 25 times the average employee to 200.The conversation turns to Walmart, which Keith joined in 2015, a year after Doug McMillon began pushing the company out of its brick-and-mortar comfort zone. He describes the unvarnished truth session, the burning platform, the jet.com talent infusion, and the storytelling that made the stakes real, including his reminder that Sears once had both the stores and the catalogue and is gone today.For executives who want somewhere to start Monday morning, Keith offers a practical framework. Listen to associates, using the two questions he asks on every store walk. Listen to customers and vendors. Then clarify and simplify the mission the way Walmart turned everyday low cost into everyday low price. A Chicago self-checkout rollout that consulted neither associates nor shoppers serves as a cautionary tale.They close on board composition in the AI era, the CEO, CFO, and operations seats plus the cybersecurity and AI expertise that may sit with a director in their thirties, and why customer-facing automation like shelf-scanning robots and AI greeters got piloted and pulled. As Keith says, AI can tell you a tomato is a fruit; wisdom tells you not to put it in the fruit salad.His parting advice for the next generation of retail leaders is simple: human capital is the most important asset on the balance sheet. "I'm in the people business," he says. "I just happen to sell groceries." Presented by Kokek, Canada's Way to Pay. Visit Konek.ca to learn more. Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E.

Sports are a microcosm of society, with the power to strengthen social bonds and galvanize communities. They reflect cultural values, reinforce social norms, and can represent (inter)national relations. This exhibition draws on representations of sport in a variety of artistic media. Many celebrate the fun of the game and physical achievement, or champion athletes as role models. Others question racial and gender-based stereotypes that are revealed through sport. Sports strike a delicate balance between playful, competitive fun and aggressive conflict. Many artists use this as an arena to examine where and how aggression and violence are permitted, encouraged and controlled. Competition can magnify both the virtues and faults of individuals, teams or societies. Whether in shared moments of jubilation or crushing defeat, there is no denying that sports can bring us together and show us who we are.

Paul LeBlanc is an innovative change maker in higher ed who led Southern New Hampshire University's transformation from a small regional institution with a couple thousand students to one of the largest nonprofit providers of online higher education in the country.  In his latest book Reclaiming Purpose: The University in an AI World he presents a vision of higher education that shifts from knowledge transfer to teaching students how to develop the human skills that will set them apart from artificial intelligence. In this conversation with Inside Higher Ed editor in chief Sara Custer, LeBlanc explains what his prediction could mean for faculty and institutional leaders and encourages higher ed to take a leading role in ethical AI design.

Depuis l'arrivée de ces robots informationnels, on s'interroge sur la manière de s'y prendre avec ce qui n'est pas un outil de plus mais un saut structurel qui va commander des changements de fond. Le principal mérite de l'IA est de passer de la massification de l'enseignement à un apprentissage sur mesure dans lequel le professeur ne transmet plus de cours mais accompagne chacun de manière différenciée. L'école ne souffre pas seulement de la pénurie d'enseignants et des faibles rémunérations.

Don't despair now that your summer vacation is over, because ABA Inside Track will dull the pain of the workday with the return of Supervision September! A whole month of supervision discussion and research to make you the greatest boss/mentor/leader in the world. First, we dig into the archives for a special episode released as a bonus to patrons to launch the new site in which Diana digs deep into Gamification methodology as a means to improve supervision data entry in the practicum experience. Next we turn the tables from our bosses to ourselves to see if peer feedback actually does anything. Dr. Amber Valentino joins us to share, nearly 10 years after the publication of one of the field's earliest supervision articles, her thoughts on the state of ABA supervision science. And, as is the custom, we round it all out by taking a look at the classic business book "Who Moved My Cheese?" by Dr. Spencer Johnson because nothing says "I'm the best at supervising others" than a mystery about vanished cheddar.

A year after the mysterious death of former NASA scientist Joshua LeBlanc, questions remain about the circumstances surrounding his final hours. In this episode, I recap the LeBlanc case from the beginning—and reveal a surprising new response to my public records request from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA). Does it identify the lead investigative agency? And what does its reference to “law enforcement investigative material” tell us about the status of the case? The Joshua LeBlanc mystery may be far from settled.

Entering an economic war isn't your typical Friday night activity. But according to PM Mark Carney, it was necessary after the last 18 months of US President Trump. Not only did Carney suspend all negotiations with the US, he also announced dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs on US goods in response to the latest round of tariffs Trump placed on $28 billion worth of Canadian goods.   Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Lori Turnbull, political science professor from Dalhousie University to break down the latest update in the Canada-US trade war, what kind of response from Trump Canadians should expect, and how Canadians are interpreting Carney's act of defiance.  We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

In this Encore episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc sits down with Liza Amlani, Chief Merchant and Principal of Retail Strategy Group, who returns to the podcast to share timely insights from her recently released book, "The Material Life: Process Innovation for Retailers and Brands" Recognized globally as a retail thought leader, Amlani brings her two decades of merchandising expertise to a provocative argument: the retail industry has been obsessed with what products it sells, while neglecting how those products are made—a blind spot costing brands both time and money. Amlani illustrates how process innovation begins long before a product hits the shelf. Traditional apparel development starts with a design concept, hunting for materials to match. Her materials-first model flips that dynamic, accelerating time to market, reducing over-development, and eliminating redundant fabric, trim, and colour decisions. She cites examples where retailers were creating thousands of unnecessary material variations—like zippers—without realizing the margin erosion and operational chaos this creates. Throughout the conversation, Amlani explains how silos between merchants, sourcing, materials, design, and marketing teams create a “butterfly effect” where one late-stage decision can unravel deadlines, sample production, and vendor negotiations. Breaking those silos strengthens governance, reduces waste, and aligns teams around measurable outcomes including her Material Adoption Rate (MAR) framework—an accountability tool that tracks how many material developments actually make it into assortments. The episode also explores the rising influence of AI in fabric research and digital product creation, the impact of sourcing regulations emerging in North America and Europe, and how leading brands like lululemon are quietly reshaping their operating models through materials-led go-to-market roles. Amlani argues that brands embracing transparency, vendor partnership, and digital material workflows will unlock significant margin upside at a time when inflation, tariffs, supply chain friction, and fast-fashion disruptors are redefining consumer expectations. Finally, the discussion turns to the road ahead. Amlani urges leaders to rethink the fabric of product creation itself, invest in consumer-centric assortments, and treat materials not as an afterthought but as a strategic asset. For retailers, merchants, product developers, and sourcing teams eager to future-proof their business, this episode is a masterclass in modern merchandising excellence.

Most humanoid robot companies are still running curated demos in replica environments. Foundation Future Industries is running 150 robots on real automotive production lines in Georgia, and heading to Ukraine this year to deploy on the battlefield. Mike LeBlanc, the co-founder of Foundation Future Industries - currently the only company supplying humanoid robots to the US Department of Defense, with contracts across the Army, Navy, and Air Force, joins Craig Smith to explain why the race is moving faster than almost anyone in the industry believes, and why the companies that are moving cautiously are about to be left behind. His frame is striking: he keeps a framed 1906 New York Times article on his office wall predicting that human flight would take between one million and ten million years. It was published three months before the Wright Brothers flew. He thinks humanoids are in exactly that moment right now. The conversation covers the full operational picture: how Foundation trains robots using video rather than simulation; why the fry-cook robot that couldn't open the bag of fries is a perfect metaphor for everything wrong with how most companies approach go-to-market in this space; why the human form factor isn't a philosophical preference but an empirical fact,  humans are still doing every job in every factory that other robots can't, and that's the proof of concept; and why Mike LeBlanc isn't particularly worried about competing against Boston Dynamics backed by Google DeepMind, because they're still demoing in replica sites while Foundation is deploying on production lines. The episode ends with a bet: LeBlanc tells Craig that in twelve months, he'll be back to report 10,000 robots deployed in the world. Craig says he remains cautious. One of them is going to be right.

Why do smart strategies fail so often? According to Kevin Ertell, the problem isn't a lack of ideas—it's execution. In this Encore episode of The Voice of Retail, Michael LeBlanc sits down live in person at the NRF Big Show in New York in The Remarkable Retail Narvar podcasting studio with Kevin Ertell, founder of Mistere Advisory, veteran retail operator, and former Vice President of Global Retail at Nike. Kevin is also the author of the new book The Strategy Trap: Why Companies Fail at Execution and How to Get It Right, which draws on more than two decades of hands-on leadership experience across iconic retail brands including Tower Records, Borders, Sur La Table, and Nike. Kevin explains how organizations fall into the “strategy trap”—a tendency to over-invest in ideas, decks, and executive alignment while underestimating the human and organizational work required to execute effectively. He argues that strategy should be treated as the first step of execution, not as a theoretical exercise completed before real work begins. Using well-known retail case studies, including the failed transformation of JCPenney, Kevin illustrates how untested assumptions, poor internal alignment, and misunderstanding customer behavior can derail even bold strategies. Leaders often assume that communication equals understanding, when in reality teams fill in the gaps with their own interpretations—creating misalignment that only becomes visible once execution is underway. The conversation introduces Kevin's practical “Six Cs of Execution” framework. The first phase—co-creation, clarity, and capacity—focuses on setting the stage by involving the right people, defining priorities, and making space for execution. The second phase—communication, coordination, and coaching—highlights the role of active leadership in sustaining momentum and course-correcting as conditions change. Kevin also shares actionable tools leaders can use immediately, including structured problem-definition sessions, force-ranking priorities, and creating safe environments where teams can challenge assumptions. He emphasizes that focus is a leadership discipline—and that trying to pursue too many initiatives at once almost guarantees failure. For retail leaders navigating AI disruption, economic volatility, and shifting consumer expectations, this episode offers a clear, operator-led blueprint for escaping the strategy trap and turning strategy into results.

Why do most new products fail — even when they solve a real problem? In this episode of The Voice of Retail, presented by Konek – Canada's way to pay. Visit Konek.ca to learn more., host Michael LeBlanc sits down with Rob Snyder, founder and author of the new book The Power of Pull, to unpack why understanding customer demand is fundamentally different from pitching supply — and what that means for retailers, vendors, and startups trying to win business today. Snyder's path here started at McKinsey & Company, where he grew frustrated with consulting from the outside and moved into the startup world to learn how companies actually work. After Harvard Business School, he built his first startup selling into retail and restaurants — and spent two brutal years hitting a wall before finally cracking the code and scaling to $4 million in annual recurring revenue in under two years. That hard-won experience became the foundation for his PULL framework, and for a career spent studying, through Harvard Innovation Labs, startup advising, and angel investing, why some new ideas take off while most don't. The conversation digs into the core distinction at the heart of Snyder's book: demand is not the same thing as wanting a product. Demand is a person trying to accomplish something in their life; supply is simply the tool they pull in to get it done. Snyder revisits the famous (and possibly apocryphal) Henry Ford "faster horses" quote to explain why asking customers what they want often produces the wrong answer — and why the real skill is identifying what people are stuck trying to do with the options already in front of them. For retailers fielding constant vendor pitches, Snyder offers a practical filter: can this startup speak your language, cite specific relevant case studies, and explain exactly how they've unstuck a comparable business — or are they hiding behind buzzwords like "agentic AI"? He also tackles how AI is reshaping the competitive landscape for B2B startups, arguing that as AI closes gaps in the "limitations" side of the PULL framework, vendors need to find pull in places AI hasn't reached yet. The episode closes with Snyder's advice for retail leaders trying to uncover genuine, unfiltered demand: skip the customer interviews, and instead watch shoppers struggle in real time — in-store and online — to find the moments where existing options fall short. Rob Snyder's new book, The Power of Pull, is available now wherever books are sold. Connect with him on LinkedIn or at robsnyder.org.  This episode presented by Konek – Canada's way to pay.
