Once hailed as a retail revolution, the direct-to-consumer (DTC) model is facing a sobering moment in 2025. Once-bold promises of cutting out the middleman and owning the customer experience are being reevaluated amid rising acquisition costs, increased competition, and a dramatic pullback in venture capital funding.In this episode, we unpack what went wrong—and what's next—for DTC brands, inspired by the article titled, Coming down to earth: DTC model gets a retail reality check. From household names like Casper and Glossier to up-and-comers launching directly into wholesale, the retail playbook is being rewritten with omnichannel strategies at the core.We explore how smart brands are combining digital and physical channels, why wholesale is resurging as the most profitable path for many, and how data-driven B2B commerce tools are reshaping the retailer-brand relationship. Whether you're a brand founder, a retail strategist, or just curious about the future of commerce, this episode delivers the insights that matter most.What You'll Learn in This Episode:

Amy Errett might be a natural leader, and an expert team-builder–but she wasn't always a founder. She spent her early career in banking and investment companies, before turning to venture capital. But once she was at the table with startup founders, making decisions on who deserved funding infusions…she realized she wanted to be not in her seat…but rather, the CEO's seat. She founded Madison Reed in 2013 out of San Francisco as a hair-color subscription brand. She's grown it–even as the pandemic shut down 12 beauty bars she'd opened across the country–to a company that has raised more than $220 million, in part from Jay-Z's Marcy Ventures. Now, she has her sights set on opening 20 more stores in 2022, and hiring up to 800 people. Amy spoke to host Christine Lagorio-Chafkin about her rich career and her thoughts on leading growing organizations through big changes–including navigating the unknown, seeing around corners, and helping large teams make dramatic shifts.
