It is love in the harshest, hardest form.” - Loren Ridinger “If I have a bad day personally—and a bad day could be I'm just sad, I don't want to get up, I feel heartbroken, I feel angry, I feel mad—I give myself grace for going through those emotions.” - Loren Ridinger “When you lose someone, you lose belief. You question God. You question all types of things. And then all of a sudden, it's God that helps you back out of it. It's Him who says, ‘We can get through anything.’” - Loren Ridinger “We're all going to have a death date. We all have that. But what we do with that line—that little dash—is what will make the difference. And that's what we do with our life. Let's make the biggest difference to help people. What are you going to do with the dash?” - Loren Ridinger, quoting her late husband JR Ridinger “We only get this lifetime that we know of, and the most important thing that you can do is enjoy the journey because life is short.” - Loren Ridinger “God used music in my life, not only as this instrument to encourage people and lift the hearts of people, but to help build bridges and communicate with people that maybe on any given day probably wouldn't even have me in their home.” - Lynda Randle “When you can't have a conversation with some people because they just don't want to talk or they are so angry, music has a way of melting the heart, calming the spirit.” - Lynda Randle “I know that the ministry that God's given me to build bridges is significant. It's necessary. And a lot of walls are coming down.” - Lynda Randle “I just want every woman to know no matter what the brokenness, no matter what the pain, no matter what the devastation—God sees you as a whole woman.” - Lynda Randle _______________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Today on the show we have the fantastic Loren Ridinger, author of the new bookScrambled or Sunny-Side Up?: Living Your Best Life After Losing Your Greatest Love,which is out today, February 11. On August 30, 2022, Loren lost her husband of nearly 26 years, JR Ridinger, while they were on vacation in Croatia. JR, who along with Loren is a successful entrepreneur behind Market America, died suddenly of a pulmonary embolism. He and Loren had been together a total of 36 years, and Loren was left to navigate her overwhelming grief while also maintaining the company they built together. This is a memoir, but it's also a relatable read to anyone going through grief — and I know that is so many of us. In addition to being a distinguished entrepreneur and cofounder of Market America, a leading global product brokerage and internet marketing company, Loren is also extremely well-connected and has a strong circle of celebrity friends; one friend, Serena Williams, even wrote the foreword for the book. The book's title is so rich in meaning that I don't want to spoil it — I want you all to get the power punch I did by reading the book's pages. At its heart,Scrambled or Sunny-Side Up? is a love story. In this episode, Loren tells us about JR and their deep love and how he still shows up for her two-and-a-half years after his passing; she shares advice for those grieving and the lessons she's learned; the worst things you can say to someone who is grieving; and how to live your dash. In addition to founding Market America with JR in 1992, Loren is CEO of Market America Worldwide | SHOP.COM and is also the creator of the cosmetic line Motives, is a dedicated philanthropist, and a sought-after speaker. She's got so much wisdom to share with us.Scrambled or Sunny-Side Up?: Living Your Best Life After Losing Your Greatest Loveby Loren Ridinger

Loren Ridinger is the Co-Founder of internet retailing giants, Shop.Com and Market America.Although Loren is now recognized as an internet mogul who has changed the face of the beauty and e-commerce industries over the past two decades, her life started with very humble beginnings. She moved to Greensboro, NC at a young age, worked in retail when she was sixteen, and at eighteen, Loren and her husband, JR, took a chance on their dream to make it easy for people to shop online at a time when most people didn't even have computers in their home. Twenty-nine years later, their companies Market America and Shop.com generate over a billion dollars in annual sales and serve more than 10 million customers. The company is still headquartered in Greensboro, NC, and is quite global with offices in nine other countries. Loren also founded the award-winning cosmetics line Motives and is recognized for her work in publications like Forbes, Elle, and Vogue, where she was included in their 100 Most Influential Women issue. In today's episode, we dig into the top five themes that will allow anyone to be successful with their dreams: 1) importance of belief & visualization, 2) being your true, authentic self, 3) having the right people around you, 4) goal setting the 'right' way, and 5) always doing the hard things first.In this episode, we'll talk to Loren about:* The importance of women sticking together and supporting each other.

Life and Death exist side-by-side every day in the ER. Veteran ER physician and life philosopher, David Talbott, has spent almost 30 years in those trenches.  In this episode, David shares what he's learned about how to live well, how to die well, and how to use Mortality to your advantage.  But it's not just his time in the ER that has taught David what he shares with us today. His personal life has had its fair share of heartache and tragedy, and David draws vulnerably from those experiences, too, as he exhorts us to make the most of our one-and-only lives.  MY exhortation to you? Tune in to the full episode, and don't let it go in one ear and out the other or simply entertain your curiosity about what it's like to do the work that David does. It's more than dramatic stories from the frontlines of medicine. It's a study in the human condition derived from one man's encounters with thousands of people staring Death in the face. Someday, maybe even some day soon, YOU will stare death in the face. Paint yourself into these stories. Imagine that it's YOU approaching your final breath. Pull Mortality CLOSE and accept its inevitability. Let David's hard-won wisdom sink deep into your soul and show up in the way you live so that when it's your time to die, you can die courageously, graciously, and free of regrets.    Remembering Dennis Franks, My Guest on Episode 034 I pushed pause on the interview to bring listeners some sad news.  Dennis Franks, my guest on episode 034, died suddenly on Saturday, October 16, at the age of 68. He leaves behind his wife, Nancy--who played a life-saving role in Dennis' life-changing encounter with Mortality many years ago--two grown daughters, and three grandkids.  I didn't know Dennis well, but the time I did spend with him for the podcast made it clear to me that he had a huge heart and a voracious appetite for life. He was laser-focused on making every day count and making his life matter. He loved his family deeply. And he served thousands in their pursuit of financial independence through his work at Market America--which he saw as more of a mission than a profession. And one thing's for certain: Dennis had a lot more living he wanted to do.  If you haven't tuned in to Dennis' episode, I hope you will. After you listen, take a minute to share what his Story meant to you on one of my social media posts created in his honor on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn. Life is short, folks.    Memorable Quotes from David Talbott I think that when you look at life, you can say why me, but the reality is, why not you? The reality is from the day we're born, we're all a statistic waiting to happen. We just haven't been introduced to the lethal details. Did you live, did you love, did you matter? Too many of us focus on longevity and we forget the quality of our lives. The quality of our life is predicated so much on what we focus on. I think the most important conversations are the ones you have with yourself in the mirror every day. There is no growth without friction. So many times we as humans put ourselves in our own prison, and we're the only one with the key, and we don't even realize it. That which is gained with little effort is esteemed of little value. You can come to the ER in a Lamborghini or a taxi, but we all eventually leave in a hearse.  In life it's not so much when and how you die; it's how you live. It's a courageous thing to allow somebody to die with dignity and grace. Discipline is weighed in ounces, but regret is weighed in pounds.   Making It Matter in Your Life Today What will it take for you to take the reality of your Mortality even more seriously and let it begin to change your life today?  Don't let it take an actual crisis.  Instead, create a life-saving crisis within yourself today by courageously embracing the Mortality Mindset. Commit to it as a discipline. With practice, we can approximate the impact of a real encounter with Mortality by continually reminding ourselves of its inevitability and making day-to-day real-world decisions in light of it. As David said, "discipline is weighed in ounces, but regret is weighed in pounds." Here's one simple exercise to get you started: Read at least 10 obituaries from various sources. Mix it up: read a few from the New York Times, a few from your local paper, and a few from small-town papers, too. What sticks out to you? How does it affect you to read about other people's deaths and the lives they lived? Next, write your own obituary as if you'd lived the best life you can imagine, a life you are immensely proud of. Then, begin to make adjustments in your life RIGHT NOW that will increase the likelihood that THAT obituary will become a reality.  This is your one and only life. Make it count.    Your Opinion Matters If this show has been meaningful to you, please rate it and leave a review on your favorite podcast app. Your feedback encourages others to tune in to this life-affirming, world-changing message.

Can Death bring you back to Life?  If former NFL pro Dennis Franks’ story is any indication, then the answer is 100% yes. And his story is packed full of hard-won wisdom for becoming the people we were made to be and living the lives we were made to live.    First, Rabbit Trail to a Big Idea I met Dennis Franks through a mutual friend--or even more accurately, a friend of my parents back when I was a little boy in Boone, NC. Serendipitously, Bonnie Church had gotten curious about what I was up to and looked me up online--where she found this podcast. And almost overnight, she became an unexpected, very welcome, and very generous source of encouragement and inspiration. She also happens to have co-written a book with Dennis and his good friend, former Philadelphia Eagle's teammate, Vince Papale. And Bonnie realized that Dennis' story was a good fit for Andrew Petty is Dying.  Which is how we ended up here today, with former pro football player-turned-network marketing success story, Dennis Franks, as the guest on this episode.  I share this backstory because it highlights a big idea that I think is useful for all of us to remember: When we commit to becoming the person we were made to be and living the life we were made to live, and we persevere in that work--as I've been trying to do through this podcast, for example--cool things happen--like getting reconnected with Bonnie and striking up a friendship with Dennis. That's the technical term, BTW--"cool things." Truth is, you never really know what will come of it all, but that's part of the adventure. And each new serendipitous moment creates the potential for more. It's the best kind of compounding interest.    Now, Back to the Program Already in Progress... Dennis Franks is a primo example of someone who has persevered in becoming the person he was made to be and living the life he was made to live. Along the way, he found success and fame in the NFL, and he's achieved remarkable success in business post-football. But it hasn't been all rainbows and unicorns. Far from it, in fact, and Dennis has fought tooth and nail for every bit of success he's attained and to learn the lessons available from his failures. And a close encounter with Mortality woke him up to what mattered most and kicked his butt in gear big-time after the fumes of football fame had dissipated.   We dig into all of that and more in this interview. The internet can give you a version of Dennis' story--and it's one that's available to anyone who cares to type in "Dennis Franks" in the Google search window. But I was especially interested in the REST of the story. What's Dennis Franks really all about? What makes him tick? How does an encounter with Mortality impact a man who, for a while at least, seemed to have it all?After all of his ups and downs, moments of fame and seasons of ridicule, what wisdom for life does he have to offer to all of us?  To set the stage, though, here's the cliff’s notes version of what can be learned online about Dennis.    Introducing Dennis Franks, Interwebs-style From humble beginnings in Pittsburgh--the son of a steelworker and a German figure skating champion--Dennis had a noteworthy college football career at Michigan and went on to 5 years in the NFL, first with the Philadelphia Eagles, then with the Detroit Lions. Along with Vince Papale, about whose story the film Invincible was made with Mark Wahlberg in the starring role, Dennis had a hand in setting the Eagles up for their first superbowl appearance in 1981. A rough patch after football was followed by Dennis' discovery of the world of network marketing, a business he has excelled at ever since. In fact, early on he became one of the few to earn over $1 Million in annual commissions through a home-based business. Today, Dennis is executive vice president of Market America Worldwide, a product brokerage and internet marketing company that specializes in one-to-one marketing and social shopping. Market America provides a system for entrepreneurs to supplement their income and gives customers a better way to shop.  Dennis' book, The Last Laugh: Vision to Victory outlines seven keys to making your dream a reality--Vision, Valor, Vehemence, Veracity, Vitality, Vigor, and Victory--and illustrates them at work through his and Vince's stories and firsthand accounts from the likes of Dick Vermeil, Jim Harbaugh, and others who have had extraordinary success in their fields. Like Dennis, The Last Laugh is direct, no BS, imminently practical, and full of wisdom. If you want to get from here to there, The Last Laugh will help you. It's helped me.  Dennis and his wife, Nancy, live near Charlotte, NC. They have two daughters and two grandchildren.    A Date with Death  The entry point into our conversation was an episode in Dennis’ story back in the 80s that changed the course of his life forever. Dennis’ “15 minutes of fame” as a 5-year NFL pro are over. He’s discovering that a resume of “moving people for a living” doesn’t automatically land you a good job, and he’s begun to move in some unhealthy circles where partying hard was a way of life, not just a for-fun kind of thing.  One day, after a 36-hour, cocaine-infused bender, Dennis found himself staring Death in the face. He literally felt like his heart was going to explode. A good friend--now his wife, Nancy--stayed with him until his body began to resume more normal functioning. But the impact of that experience was there to stay. Here’s Dennis in his own words: “It was a huge change in my life...resetting, almost, and trying to understand that I had something to live for, and not to be this waste. Don't be that one-and-done star, and now that you can't have that anymore, it's over. It couldn't be, because I was 29 years old, and I had a lot of years left to live. That was a critical time for me...Everything changed because of that near-death experience. There was a realization that there had to be more.”    Rebirth Amazingly, Dennis dropped his cocaine addiction cold-turkey and began to re-learn how to live. As a 300lb. single guy with no job, he had to fundamentally rewire his relationship with food and alcohol. Physical wellness became priority numero uno. Since then, Dennis has returned to and maintained his high school playing weight, and physical wellness is a top priority--and shows up in the Victor’s Code as Vigor and Vitality.  Gradually, Dennis’ life-saving encounter with Death and the wholesale life renovation that followed led him into the world of network marketing. But one more unexpected speed bump was just up ahead.    The Past Comes Back to Haunt Him After being clean for seven years, the FBI paid Dennis a visit out of the blue: “I was making it in life, and I was handcuffed and taken out of my office in Monterey, CA, only to go to court back in Philadelphia because my name was in the dealer's book when he got busted. And the DA in Philadelphia said "here's a Philadelphia Eagle that might be able to spill on other Philadelphia Eagles. Let's go after him." And the scariest part of this was, they wanted to give me 15 years; they were going after maximum sentence. And I'm going, are you kidding me, I've been clean for almost seven years and you're coming back to me with a conspiracy to distribute?” Dennis was fortunate to ultimately receive only a one-year sentence of community service and stays at a halfway house every weekend. And he learned sobering lessons about the importance of the choices we make, the environments we put ourselves in, and the people we surround ourselves with.    Wisdom from the Figure-Skating Son of a Steelworker We rewound the tape farther back in Dennis’ story to his childhood, where we explored how figure skating entered the picture and why it exited suddenly when he entered high school, the impact of his childhood--and especially his father--on the man he’s become today, and where his immense passion and drive for everything he undertakes came from.  Here are some of the nuggets of wisdom that emerged from the rest of the conversation: “In life, it's so important to always have people around you that care about YOU, who you are, people who are better than me. I'm not afraid to be the person who doesn't know everything. I prefer to be the person who can learn everything on a daily basis.”  “I want people to understand that you're not born a superstar. It's a choice to utilize your God-given talents. Are you willing to spend the time to become what you were meant to be? So many people don't have that vision. That's a big part of that vision to victory concept, because I want everyone to realize--you can if you believe you can, and if you're willing to do the things necessary to make that happen.” “Winners never lose, they just learn.”  “There is no balance in success.”  “I believe in taking calculated risks...I'm not asking you to be foolish, but I am asking you to take a calculated risk so you can be all-in once you make the decision. The reason people fail is because they don't go all-in because they're afraid of failing. A calculated risk to me is somebody who has weighed out the best-case / worst-case. And if you can deal with the worst-case, why not go full-on? And if you don't go full-on, then you really didn't want it anyway, and it's not gonna happen.” (This nugget emerged from our discussion of football as a metaphor for life--really fun and enlightening part of the conversation.)  And tune into the full episode to hear: Dennis’ advice for how to find your Path and Purpose in life… How he measures success now, at 67… And his response to the question, “If you knew you were going to die in exactly five years, what would you start doing differently today?”   Landing the Plane Fear gets a bad rap. We're always trying to overcome it or get rid of it. But if Dennis' story is any indicator, then the value of fear is hard to deny. The fear of Death--maybe even more specifically, the fear of not living the life he was capable of living--motivated Dennis to quit cocaine cold-turkey after a season of aimlessness post-football and turn his life around. That watershed moment set him on a very different path than the self-destructive one he'd been headed down. I'd call fear a literal lifesaver in Dennis' case, not an enemy to be overcome.  And as Dennis said in the full episode, if you're willing to face your fears, you can get through them. Lise Leroux rang the same bell in episode 006, The Nine Lives of Lise Leroux: One Woman's Mind-blowing Tale of Living With a Terminal Diagnosis. I think a key to tapping into fear's potential power in our lives is teaching ourselves to become its boss. I unpack that further in episoe 005, How to Become the Boss of Your Fear: Bravery-building to Live With More Guts and Gusto. And that's precisely what Dennis did--he summoned the courage to overhaul himself from the inside-out when an encounter with Mortality filled him with fear. He's been looking ahead and pushing ahead in life ever since.  What a gift that fear was to Dennis!    Making Dennis’ Story Relevant in YOUR Story Are you holding back in life--not going all-in, as Dennis said--because of some fear or another? Take a page from Dennis' playbook. Consider the best and worst-case scenarios. And if you can deal with the worst-case scenario, then why not go all-in? On their deathbeds, people regret not going for it far more than they regret mistakes made when they did go for it. And the world needs YOU bringing your very best into the game of life, full-tilt, all-in, charging ahead with guts, gusto, and purpose to become the person you were made to be and live the life you were made to live.  And remember, you are going to die. But you’re not dead yet. So get after it!   I Can Help I can help you charge ahead with guts, gusto, and purpose to become the person you were made to be and live the life you were made to live.

Loren Ridinger is the Co-Founder of internet retailing giants, Shop.Com and Market America.Although Loren is now recognized as an internet mogul who has changed the face of the beauty and e-commerce industries over the past two decades, her life started with very humble beginnings. She moved to Greensboro, NC at a young age, worked in retail when she was sixteen, and at eighteen, Loren and her husband, JR, took a chance on their dream to make it easy for people to shop online at a time when most people didn’t even have computers in their home. Twenty-nine years later, their companies Market America and Shop.com generate over a billion dollars in annual sales and serve more than 10 million customers. The company is still headquartered in Greensboro, NC, and is quite global with offices in nine other countries. Loren also founded the award-winning cosmetics line Motives and is recognized for her work in publications like Forbes, Elle, and Vogue, where she was included in their 100 Most Influential Women issue. In today’s episode, we dig into the top five themes that will allow anyone to be successful with their dreams: 1) importance of belief & visualization, 2) being your true, authentic self, 3) having the right people around you, 4) goal setting the 'right' way, and 5) always doing the hard things first. In this episode, we’ll talk to Loren about:* The importance of women sticking together and supporting each other. [2:40]* How Loren’s mother profoundly influenced her life.

[24:26]* How Loren manages her time and ensures that she is sticking to her goals. [26:30]* Loren’s drive to be constantly learning, and ways she does this. [30:21]* Assign dates to your goals, and why Loren thinks about her weeks in goals, not days. [31:23]* Stepping out of your comfort zone is essential to success; it’s actually more uncomfortable inside the box than outside of it. [35:58]* A major issue that Loren experienced with her health and how she dealt with it; faith over fear [42:19]* Ways that Loren balances her work life and her family life; although she is adamant about the fact that everyone is different and there is no magic formula.

The relationship between time, work, and freedom has always been a battleground in the American economy. Could our devotion to free-market fundamentalism in fact be making Americans less free? Author Mike Konczal joins the show to talk about positive versus negative freedom and the policies that would make us more free, in a real sense.  Mike Konczal is the Director of Progressive Thought at the Roosevelt Institute.

Nearly everyone agrees that the American system is, in some sense, rigged. If it is, then how did it get that way. Mike Konczal (@rortybomb), Director of Progressive Thought at the Roosevelt Institute, a left-leaning think tank, argues that America has come to rely too heavily on markets. In his new book, Freedom from the Market: America's Fight to Liberate Itself from the Grip of the Invisible Hand, Konczal pushes back against the idea that "neo-liberal" market dependency is natural, inevitable, or even especially American. Drawing on the history of American policy from the founding up to now, he argues that markets are inseparable from politics -- that they are, effectively, government programs. But markets don't necessarily give people what they need, can't provide essential goods to people who can't pay, and can leave us subject to domination from the economically powerful. In a wide-ranging conversation, we touch on the appeal and implications of the republican conception of freedom as non-domination, World War II-era government daycares, the function that Medicare played in desegregating hospitals, the nature of so-called neoliberalism, and a lot more. When Mike sent me his book, he included a note expressing his intention to turn me into a social democrat. I'm not sure that he succeeded, but one thing our chat made clear to me is that once you're willing to accept that markets are essentially political and that market structure is a policy choice, it’s possible to have a constructive conversation free of dogmatic ideological table-pounding.   ReadingsFreedom from the Market: America's Fight to Liberate Itself from the Grip of the Invisible Hand by Mike KonczalFrom Slavery to the Cooperative Commonwealth: Labor and Republican Liberty in the Nineteenth Century  by Alex GourevitchLand-grab universities by Robert Lee and Tristan Ahtone, High Country NewsSocial Insurance: With Special Reference to American Conditions by I.M.

For decades, the dominant economic philosophy of the United States has been that fiscal policy should be relatively inert, and that the Fed should be the primary driver of macroeconomic stabilization. But that may be changing. As evidenced by the stimulus deal, the political willingness to use fiscal stimulus in a responsive way appears to be growing. Moreover, the importance and power of fiscal firepower has been accepted by a range of actors, from Senator Bernie Sanders to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. So are we at the start of a trend break in the neoliberal consensus (whatever that means)? We debated this question with Skanda Amarnath, the head of research at Employ America and Mike Konczal, Director at the Roosevelt Institute and the author of the new book "Freedom from the Market America’s Fight to Liberate Itself from the Grip of the Invisible Hand."

She knew eventually their day of success would come. Loren goes on to state, “It wasn't about the products at first. It was about belief. Believing we could do it. Believing we could get the cream of the crop. Don't quit just because it's not happening on your clock.

"I don’t think conservatism can do its job in a free society in opposition to the institutions of that society,” Yuval Levin told me. “I think it can only function in defense of them.”Levin is the director of social, cultural and constitutional studies at the American Enterprise Institute, as well as the author of a number of great books, most recently, “A Time to Build.” I wanted to talk to him about a very specific question, though: What will the Republican Party become? Levin is one of its most thoughtful and sober analysts — a temperament that may, I realize, make him unsuited to interpreting its current incarnation, in which a majority of House Republicans voted to reject the results of the 2020 presidential election and one of them is, well, Marjorie Taylor Greene.But Levin’s diagnosis is interesting. Histories of the modern Republican Party often place Ronald Reagan at their center. That is, in Levin’s view, a mistake. “I think Reagan is better understood as a detour from a history that is otherwise a story of a constant struggle between populism and conservatism,” he said. Donald Trump was an inheritor of a tradition that stretches long before him — Pat Buchanan’s tradition, and Strom Thurmond’s tradition. He didn’t form a new Republican Party; he allowed a long-existing part to express itself.Behind that lie institutional changes both in the Republican Party and in the broader structure of American politics. That’s why I wanted to talk to Levin for this episode of “The Ezra Klein Show”: He, like me, thinks in terms of institutions. “The question for us in the coming years is whether we can move a little more in the direction of a politics of ‘what does government do,’ and less of a politics of ‘who rules,’” he says.That’s exactly the right question, in my view. But we have very different views of what kinds of institutional changes would get us there. I’d like to see a more democratized, majoritarian system. Levin would, among other things, add a filibuster to the House.So this is more than just a conversation about how to fix the Republican Party. It’s a conversation about how to fix American politics — how to recenter it on policy that changes people’s lives, rather than symbolic clashes that merely harden our hearts.References: “Big Tech, Big Government: The Challenges of Regulating Internet Platforms,” National Affairs, Winter 2021The Working Class Republican: Ronald Reagan and the Return of Blue-Collar Conservatism by Henry Olsen"Democrats, Here’s How to Lose in 2022.

FEATURING MIKE KONCZAL – The “free market” we are told by its proponents is the best path to prosperity for all. “Free enterprise” is a right that subsumes other rights. Freedom from regulations will unlock wealth. This is the myth that America is steeped in. Rarely if ever, do our politicians demand that we center...

Panel: Charles Max Wood Special Guest: Brady Gaster In this episode, Chuck talks with Brady Gaster about SignalR that is offered through Microsoft. Brady Gaster is a computer software engineer at Microsoft and past employers include Logical Advantage, and Market America, Inc. Check out today’s episode where the two dive deep into SignalR topics. Show Topics: 0:00 – Advertisement: AngularBootCamp.Com 0:56 – Chuck: Hello! We are going to talk about SignalR, which is an offering through Microsoft. 1:09 – Guest: It started in 2011 that’s when I got involved, but I wasn’t with Microsoft, yet, at that point. I was working on the technology, though. Effectively you can do real time HTMP but what they did (Damon and David) let’s create a series of abstractions but not we have for Java. They basically cam up this idea let’s do web sockets and then go back to pole / pole / pole. It’s to see what the server and the client can support. Guest talks about Socket.io, too. 6:45 – Chuck: What we are talking about real time coordination between apps. 6:56 – Guest: Web sockets, 1 million...and 2.6 million messages a second! 7:05 – Chuck: I can set that up like I usually set up web sockets? 7:17 – Guest: There is a client library for each. Effectively you have a concept called a connection. 9:48 – Chuck: How do you handle authentication on the frontend? 9:56 – Guest: We have server side things that we can attribute things. 10:09 – Chuck. 10:12 – Guest: If you authenticate to the site then the site passes the token and it basically sits on top of the same plumbing. 10:38 – Chuck. 10:42 – Guest. 10:54 – Chuck. 10:58 – Guest: We recently just had the DOT NET CONF. We had an all night, 24-hour thing. 11:48 – Chuck: Here you are, here you go. You hook it all up, JavaScript into your bundle. 12:05 – (The guest talks about how to install.) 13:12 – Chuck: I could come up with my own scheme. 13:25 – Guest: The traditional example is SEND A MESSAGE and then pass you string. Well tomorrow I do that and I just change the code – it’s great b/c I send up a ping and everybody knows what to do what that ping. It’s just a proxy. 14:17 – Chuck: I am trying to envision what you would use this for? If you are worried about it being stale then you refresh. But if you want the collaborative stuff at what point do you ask: Do I need SignalR? 15:00 – Guest: When I do my presentations on SignalR and being transparent I want to send you 1,000 messages but 1 or 2 messages will be dropped. You don’t want to transmit your order data or credit card information. Do you have a hammer and you need a screw?  If you need stock tickers and other applications SignalR would work. Keeping your UI fresh it is a great thing. 19:02 – Chuck: You do that at the Hub? You set up the Hub and it passes everything back and forth. What can you do at the Hub for filtering and/or certain types of events? 19:26 – Guest: I am looking at a slide. What’s the cool thing about SignalR and the API is it’s deceptively simple on purpose. If you want to call out to clients, you can get a message to all of your clients if you select that/those feature(s).  Some other features you have are OTHERS, and Clients.Group. 20:57 – Chuck: Can you set up your own? 20:58 – Guest: I don’t know. 21:12 – Chuck: Clients who belong to more than one group. 21:23 – Guest: Dynamics still give some people heartburn. (The guest talks about C#, Dev, Hub, and more!) 23:46 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job! 24:23 – Chuck: How do people get started with this? Do they need Azure? 24:30 – Guest: You don’t need Azure you can go to Microsoft and it’s apart of the .NET team, too. 26:39 – Guest talks about how to install SignalR – see links below! 27:03 – Chuck: You don’t have to KNOW .NET. 27:11 – Guest: It was created by that team (*fair enough*) but you don’t have to know .NET. 27:57 – Guest: You can I could do JavaScript all the way. 29:04 – Chuck: Yes, we keep moving forward. It will look different what people are using. 29:21 – Guest: That was an early thing and I was reading through the old bugs from 2011/2012 and that’s one thing that kept coming up. I didn’t want to use jQuery to use SignalR – now you don’t. It’s a happy thing. 30:45 – Guest: Someone suggested using PARCEL. I have a question do you have any recommendations to have NODE-SASS workflow to have it less stressful?  31:30 – Chuck: It’s out of Ruby that’s my experience with Node-Sass. 31:40 – Guest: I haven’t used Ruby, yet. 31:46 – Guest: I haven’t heard of Phoenix what is that? 31:50 – Chuck answers. Chuck: It’s functional and very fast. Once you’ve figured out those features they almost become power features for you. Elixir has a lot of great things going for it. 32:50 – Guest: I tried picking up GO recently. 33:08 – Chuck: Lots of things going on in the programming world. 33:18 – Guest: I have always had a mental block around Java. I was PMing the Java guys and I asked: will this stuff work on... Once I got it then I thought that I needed to explore this stuff more! I want to learn Ruby, though. 34:16 – Chuck: Anything else in respect to SignalR? 34:15 – Guest: I really think I have dumped everything I know about Signal R just now. I would draw people to the DOCS pages. A guide for anything that could happen on the JavaScript side – check them out!

What can you do at the Hub for filtering and/or certain types of events? 19:26 – Guest: I am looking at a slide. What’s the cool thing about SignalR and the API is it’s deceptively simple on purpose. If you want to call out to clients, you can get a message to all of your clients if you select that/those feature(s).  Some other features you have are OTHERS, and Clients.Group. 20:57 – Chuck: Can you set up your own? 20:58 – Guest: I don’t know. 21:12 – Chuck: Clients who belong to more than one group. 21:23 – Guest: Dynamics still give some people heartburn.

Do they need Azure? 24:30 – Guest: You don’t need Azure you can go to Microsoft and it’s apart of the .NET team, too. 26:39 – Guest talks about how to install SignalR – see links below! 27:03 – Chuck: You don’t have to KNOW .NET. 27:11 – Guest: It was created by that team (*fair enough*) but you don’t have to know .NET. 27:57 – Guest: You can I could do JavaScript all the way. 29:04 – Chuck: Yes, we keep moving forward. It will look different what people are using. 29:21 – Guest: That was an early thing and I was reading through the old bugs from 2011/2012 and that’s one thing that kept coming up. I didn’t want to use jQuery to use SignalR – now you don’t. It’s a happy thing. 30:45 – Guest: Someone suggested using PARCEL. I have a question do you have any recommendations to have NODE-SASS workflow to have it less stressful?  31:30 – Chuck: It’s out of Ruby that’s my experience with Node-Sass. 31:40 – Guest: I haven’t used Ruby, yet. 31:46 – Guest: I haven’t heard of Phoenix what is that? 31:50 – Chuck answers. Chuck: It’s functional and very fast. Once you’ve figured out those features they almost become power features for you. Elixir has a lot of great things going for it. 32:50 – Guest: I tried picking up GO recently. 33:08 – Chuck: Lots of things going on in the programming world. 33:18 – Guest: I have always had a mental block around Java. I was PMing the Java guys and I asked: will this stuff work on... Once I got it then I thought that I needed to explore this stuff more! I want to learn Ruby, though. 34:16 – Chuck: Anything else in respect to SignalR? 34:15 – Guest: I really think I have dumped everything I know about Signal R just now.

Panel: Charles Max Wood Special Guest: Brady Gaster In this episode, Chuck talks with Brady Gaster about SignalR that is offered through Microsoft. Brady Gaster is a computer software engineer at Microsoft and past employers include Logical Advantage, and Market America, Inc. Check out today’s episode where the two dive deep into SignalR topics. Show Topics: 0:00 – Advertisement: AngularBootCamp.Com 0:56 – Chuck: Hello! We are going to talk about SignalR, which is an offering through Microsoft. 1:09 – Guest: It started in 2011 that’s when I got involved, but I wasn’t with Microsoft, yet, at that point. I was working on the technology, though. Effectively you can do real time HTMP but what they did (Damon and David) let’s create a series of abstractions but not we have for Java. They basically cam up this idea let’s do web sockets and then go back to pole / pole / pole. It’s to see what the server and the client can support. Guest talks about Socket.io, too. 6:45 – Chuck: What we are talking about real time coordination between apps. 6:56 – Guest: Web sockets, 1 million...and 2.6 million messages a second! 7:05 – Chuck: I can set that up like I usually set up web sockets? 7:17 – Guest: There is a client library for each. Effectively you have a concept called a connection. 9:48 – Chuck: How do you handle authentication on the frontend? 9:56 – Guest: We have server side things that we can attribute things. 10:09 – Chuck. 10:12 – Guest: If you authenticate to the site then the site passes the token and it basically sits on top of the same plumbing. 10:38 – Chuck. 10:42 – Guest. 10:54 – Chuck. 10:58 – Guest: We recently just had the DOT NET CONF. We had an all night, 24-hour thing. 11:48 – Chuck: Here you are, here you go. You hook it all up, JavaScript into your bundle. 12:05 – (The guest talks about how to install.) 13:12 – Chuck: I could come up with my own scheme. 13:25 – Guest: The traditional example is SEND A MESSAGE and then pass you string. Well tomorrow I do that and I just change the code – it’s great b/c I send up a ping and everybody knows what to do what that ping. It’s just a proxy. 14:17 – Chuck: I am trying to envision what you would use this for? If you are worried about it being stale then you refresh. But if you want the collaborative stuff at what point do you ask: Do I need SignalR? 15:00 – Guest: When I do my presentations on SignalR and being transparent I want to send you 1,000 messages but 1 or 2 messages will be dropped. You don’t want to transmit your order data or credit card information. Do you have a hammer and you need a screw?  If you need stock tickers and other applications SignalR would work. Keeping your UI fresh it is a great thing. 19:02 – Chuck: You do that at the Hub? You set up the Hub and it passes everything back and forth.

Scot & Drew: [0:40] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason Scott show listeners this week's episode we have a really special treat for you, in a world where everyone's really scrambling to survive against Amazon we wanted to highlight a brand that is really thriving please welcome to the Jason Scott show Drew green CEO of indochino who is joining us live from Vancouver, thanks guys I appreciate you having have an assignment scratch. Jason: [1:09] It's entirely our pleasure let's get the really controversial questions out of the way early did Scott pronounce your name right. Scot & Drew: [1:16] Hey daddy daddy didn't say where to me but that's that's okay cuz I don't use the at the end of Green. Jason: [1:23] Awesome and you don't want the things we always like to start out with is get an idea of how you. [1:32] Came to your current role on so before we talk about your control can you tell us a little bit about your background and in what way does the origin story for indochino. Scot & Drew: [1:43] Yeah well I don't know what I do both because both her are bit different so you don't myself I've been in you know e-commerce. Retail for almost 20 years first company we we built up was really the time of time of my life I was told to double click in the late 90s and from there. I have this amazing journey by double-clicking New York I love being out of retail. And as you know double quick was was acquired a couple times by private equity in the Google and then went to have the privilege of. Going to a company by the name of shop.com and helping build that into a top 10 multi-category retail destination in the US and the UK and that eventually became part of. Market America which I think is that isn't IR 500. Iri R50 excuse me online Merchant sound of my own company and I really enjoyed that Journey House shop.ca here in Canada. Multi Merchant market place that has since been Amalgamated with. Several Brands under an umbrella company called emerge Commerce of which I'm sure. And you don't back in 2015 it feels like. Feels like quite a few years ago but but really only a few years ago I really got the opportunity to come into indochino. And help transform the way men dress and it's been you has been an incredible few years you know the business has tripled in size. [3:18] Are we done so probably attracted some world-class Partners investors and of course. You every success starts with a team would God just a fantastic team at the company. Your top to bottom so it's it's been a great experience indochino was founded in 2007. So you know we've been around for for just over 10 years. And have become you know the last few years have become really the market leader globally answer to what does that mean while it means that from a made-to-measure custom apparel standpoint I don't believe there's any other company in the world. I cells and produces as much as we do and so that's had somewhere very proud of but you know we treat with a lot of care and a lot of humility because you know we want to continue to build the Great business not only for the team here but. Obviously first shareholders. Jason: [4:13] Terrific some before we jump into indochino actually have a shop.ca question. [4:19] So I use them or I should say you all the time as an example of one of the the first e-commerce sites to turn their entire customer base into affiliates. [4:33] Am I being truthful there I feel like that. Scot & Drew: [4:36] Yeah that sucks yeah that's actually shop.com and and so you know that was post-acquisition that that occurred. And you know that is the that is sort of the bread-and-butter or models at that market America's built their business on and and you know they felt that that was the best application for. Shop.com I mean shop.com originated as a Marketplace not unlike. Amazon Marketplace but it was bifurcated we had both you know card transactions as well as affiliate transaction. Orly cost as it would be known but yeah Market America turned it into a almost a pure purely and consumer affiliate site after they acquired. Jason: [5:19] Don't you very cool and did you have you applied any of the the best practices from that in your current gig do you guys do like customer referrals and all that sort of stuff. Scot & Drew: [5:30] Absolutely I mean I think you know that the interesting thing about that is I think it's excessive. Going to take you out online only but it really any retail business is based on. Your consumer advocacy or or fandom as we can talk about sometimes it into Chino you're the more that you can have fans of the the product of the brand of the experience. In particular for us that in the channel the experience. Yeah really the more the more not only are you going to grow about the more efficiently you're going to grow you know when you have customers that are telling. Your friends and fam. [6:07] They had a wonderful experience and the noset friends and family coming and make breakfast it just creates a really efficient gross and so yes certainly I would say that refer-a-friend weather. Whether through paid or unpaid is probably a second biggest Channel at its cheetah and so certainly we feel like we have a ton of fans. You're talking about the Brandon and appreciate an experience we deliver, cool the server folks that may not have had the opportunity to to use the site Maybe, can I give my dog a quick picture of of indochino you you said kind of measured so does that mean someone comes to me and measure so and I know you guys have it you didn't take so long to hear what that is. [6:51] Yeah so if you think about you know bespoke or made-to-measure custom apparel. You know it's an industry that's been around for hundreds and hundreds of years you know man have gone and gotten measured and. You have been able to to create their own garment what we wanted to do was you know create a platform essentially to allow it to be mass-market to allow anybody to measure themselves. Girls online only first pick their Fabrics pick their customisations their personalization such as a monogram. You know I'm on the Garment and and really create a one-of-a-kind garment and so you know we were the first globally to ever sell made-to-measure online. [7:36] Really proud of that but we realized in 2015 and really what what I've been driving the most. [7:43] After years is you knows our success is based on an omni-channel experience and really giving customers the choice of. Did I buy online which I calls or the self-serve mode or getting a full serve experience and whatever that 70 show rooms across North America. [8:02] Yeah that's a good Segway cuz I kind of mentally put you guys in the bucket with but no bows and Stitch fix and kind of what what Andy done calls digitally native vertical Brands and then just like those guys you guys, open up the showrooms where they're kind of a smaller Outlet the no kind of a traditional retail experience and kind of different unique buying experience, so tell us a little bit more I think that's all been in your 10 year or did the company have some started. Yeah I mean we we we've essentially opened every one of our showrooms or relocated them you know 2015 to 2017. We really felt like to be. You know that the Undisputed leader and made to measure but also to compete with ready-to-wear that we needed to provide customers with an omni-channel experience and you know what it's really allowed us to do is to open an app. You know the made-to-measure experience to customers that just might not be comfortable. Making their first purchase online as it relates to a you know for the $500 purchase offer a garment and. Yes really become actually are number one acquisition Channel think about online only business is really scaling that business from a media perspective. And you know you are a retail environment not only benefits customer but it really benefits are model and creates you don't media efficiency from. [9:33] I'm back from a girl's perspective you know we'll have averaged just over 50% growth year-over-year lost. You're so 2015-2017 and we're seeing a declining across for acquisition and cost for crossbow order. From a media perspective in that you know almost entirely to do with with our our commitment to retail and channel. [9:57] I'm having not add up to you being a showroom may be described it as it's like I'm imagining 2000 square feet some some examples that kind of thing but then I've seen pictures of Foosball Tables kind of curious where that. Yeah you know every showroom that we have it as I mentioned we got 70 you going to us were in Boston we got to in New York to in the Philadelphia area. Now one in Washington one in Chicago San Francisco and Beverly Hills every showrooms a bit. Different and unique but they all have a very open Design Concepts and they all allow for you no appointment no I won't what we have isn't as appointment base model where the customer would come in. They would be masked with what we call a style guide for that hour and that's the guy that I said would help them create their at their garment they would walk them through and get the measured. They would have the customer you to pick out fabric since we got almost 300 fabrics for suits in almost 300 rabbits for shirts. So they would pick their fabric that they're stitching and pick other customisations and personalization said you know at the end really allows them to. You know create this one-of-a-kind garment that that nobody's going to be there not going to go to a party or dinner or an event and see somebody wearing the exact same everyone is is entirely unique a customer. Jason: [11:26] That's awesome. [11:29] Question about the sort of omni-channel experience so it makes perfect sense that their children's could be your top acquisition Channel you go in there you you get fitted you get that first suit and have a great experience, but I'm presuming that now you have their measurements on file and now that that customer has a lot more confidence in your brand, are you able to turn those kind of full service customers from their first experience into more cell service customers for subsequent orders is that. Scot & Drew: [12:00] Yeah that that that's exactly what happened so course you got some customers that just you don't prefer either the retail environment or our showroom environment but. You know the reason that we're investing in retail in such a big way is that the majority of our retail first customers actually come back on their second third and fourth purchase and buy online and so it Christmas really sort of official relationship with a customer. We get it right the first time. Bathroom showroom perspective but because we've gotten it right there the other entirely comfortable coming back and buy it online you know we don't have a subscription model but if you looked at. Yes they do that the repurchase rate in our business here is almost like we do you know customers are very loyal to the experience very loyal to the brand. And frankly you know what we found especially these last couple years is you're made to measure and custom apparel is becoming mainstream. And so you know a young man or or you know someone at that house that experience was made to measure is saying you know what. I no longer want to buy a suit their shirt and Blazer pair pants off the rock I want to I want to create my own, because it's not easy and it's a crime. Jason: [13:12] Cool yeah you know one thing I filled it to ask about is can you talk just a little bit about what the like sort of into end time line is for it for a customer that buys a product like you know. Scot & Drew: [13:24] Yeah absolutely so that you know what you're doing if you're doing me buying processor. You know what we are at from an internal perspective because the conversion final you know it does take some time so it's not a an instantaneous purchase your you're choosing all your selections on the Garmin. But once you've done that and you know the Garmin essentially arrives and. Right now under three weeks we've we publish for is the expectation but we've really improved that through your different Partnerships and optimization supply chain. And so if you think from start to finish your you're basically creating your own garment your own one-of-a-kind garment and receiving it and under in under 3 weeks. Jason: [14:10] Wow very cool. [14:13] In my my senses like sort of old-school made-to-measure garments when you go to a local tailor or certainly like you have some of the the International Suit house is like the. Like one of the big pain points traditionally with me to order is that there's a super long lead time. Scot & Drew: [14:33] Yeah yeah I need a Nazi that you're absolutely right I mean some. You're on some environments your weight 5 6 7 weeks for your for your garment and we've really. You got to really compete against made ready-to-wear to really be an alternative to off the rocks. You know we feel like we've got to get that that turnaround time you don't continue to optimize I continue to approve it and we don't have a timeline for it we don't have. Your specific launch date but our goal is to get at under a week. And you know once you get it under a week because think about your own experiences buying a suit even if you buy off the rock you're still going to have to get it alteration so. You know when we are at under a week in terms of production and and final delivery. You know we're entirely competitive with ready-to-wear and and just that much more appealing to two all types of consumers. Jason: [15:31] Yep that brings up another day question that so. One of the Banes of the apparel industry in general in e-commerce is the return rate is higher than we'd all like and I am curious if, the me to order it helps resolve that problem because you've got a chance to meet the customer and you you know that you have less fitment issues or you know. Part of me feels like even with a bespoke tailor and a made-to-order suit like they're often is more than one round of of adjustments if you will if I'm if I'm saying that right how do you handle that that's what it's about. Scot & Drew: [16:08] I mean neither of us are really question cuz if you know what I think back to you know the first time I took a look at this business and and the things that really jumped out to me was the fact that. You don't return rates were so low you know they were two three sometimes 4% depending on the time of the year and as you guys know and e-commerce in apparel Footwear. That's that's incredibly low number now we've actually been able to get a returns to well under 1%. I'd have been there for over a year now and again that's that's an incredible number now we do have. Alterations by a small percentage of the Guard. You know sometimes if it's not made to the customer's exact specifications will do it what we call a remake but again that's the the minority of of of the garments that we create. It's all Rino return rate as one of the most incredible things about this business because if you compare you know two other apparel or paralyze a category. You're most of the Power Rhonda you know in the twenties or even 30% from a return perspective. Jason: [17:19] Yeah I think I think most people would give us some significant body parts in exchange for getting down to a 2 - 4%. Scot & Drew: [17:25] Well I absolutely because it because it's the biggest impact online only. Apparel retailer it's it's it's very difficult and I from a model perspective it's very different. Difficult run p&l perspective then so you know where we're pretty proud of the fact that you don't return rates are so low. Jason: [17:48] And then when I scratch. [17:51] On on the general business I noticed on the website you also have weddings in your in your taxonomy and we recently had the Zola on the show so we we've done some talking about how lucrative the the overall wedding industry could be what, how are you guys playing in the wedding space. Scot & Drew: [18:11] Yeah me back that really goes to the customers that we serve an alien are number one and for the core demographic would be Millennials 65% of our transactions online. Or are serving you know that Millennial mail it's a little bit lower and in our showrooms closer to 50%. But really what we committed to a couple years ago and it's become our fastest-growing demographic is the is the wedding Market. And so you must send you message foosball tables earlier and call you know one of the things that we've done with each other room is set up a groom's lounge and that's really just serve that market. And to really become you have a place that that young man or any age men can get can get themselves in there and their groups party you know fitted for their wedding and so I would I would say that wedding is probably our fastest-growing segment. And certainly something that we're going to continue to focus on, it wouldn't be a Jason and Scott show if we didn't talk about Amazon a little bit so Jason I do a joint talk or we talk about you know, the obviously how big amazon is how much they're soaking up the growth out there but one of the big rabbits we give people on protecting yourself is to wrap a service around a product and seems like you guys, done that dude you have any fear of Amazon doing that or do you feel like this is a quadrant e-commerce are probably not going to get to, yeah I was watching you can never live live in fear you you got to. [19:46] You got to continue to innovate and continue to ideate you know whatever business you're running I think. I just have a tremendous amount of respect for Amazon and and within the apparel categories are obviously very very committed to it and doing some amazing things. You'll for us one of those things that we really. You're committed to not just to not this to differentiate ourselves from Amazon but really I would say the entire apparel category is really not. Not put forth that we're selling a product we've really focused on selling or even just providing an experience and so more and more. For our customers what we Aspire and what we try to inspire is the fact that we do provide an experience and it's it's a totally different experience than. You're going into a store going online and buying an item in that instance you really just buying a product right and and for us it's entirely different. It or whether it's you know the interactions that they have with our saw guys and how what they're trained or the you know the online experience of pretty on Garmin we've really focused on selling an experience versus a product. Call you guys have obviously caught the eye of you season an environment when it's really hard for me, she kind of companies to get funding I noticed madronas in there that's that's a really kind of real consumer Blue Chip how much, Capital if you guys raised yeah we're really we're really fortunate to have you no work last set of investors we got. [21:22] Madrona and Scott Jacobson at Madrona as my partner there. Yeah I'm deeply involved with the success of the company at Portside equity which was formerly Highland consumer is also very very involved. And our success and has been you know a big force and driving it we also out of strategic investors so we have no Diane group that's based in in China and one of the largest. And best suit manufacturers in the world owns a part of the company. We got a media company here in Canada that that took ownership in the company and will continue it to round out and look for what possible. And you lots of that say you don't really good position to be in, the best time to raise money is when you don't need it in my experience, to quick one so you kind of peaked my curiosity with the millennial kind of, concentration at any interesting observations as someone that's been in the industry for a while about in your all these kind of it's kind of funny meme that says joke around office money orders are killing this any other but they're they're obviously, not killing YouTube suits so any observations you can share about what you see in there. [22:42] Well I think there's a few different things I think number one you know it's a it's a the demographic that really takes a lot of pride in. And being their own brand and your for us I think that's why we resonates so well with Millennials you know they're able to create. You know one of a kind in the Chino which in a lot of ways becomes a representation of who they are and and their own brand and so. You know I think that that we are just the experience the product that we provide really fits into that. They're also they become and we see it in our. In our lifetime value studies and repurchase rate studies extremely loyal you know if they if they enjoy something if they like something. You know they're going to be loyal and they're going to tell their friends and so. But it is important to get it right I think that's true and in any demographic. Jason: [23:43] When it when the things it's interesting to me in the short of a custom product space which I I sort of put you in. [23:52] You know all customers but in particular Millennials in and Western CSN genze as well like the. [24:00] There seems to be a strong preference for more individualistic process products and in sort of you know Wes following the pack but. They also want people to know that it's individualistic so I I'm almost wondering like are you know that I think there's certain features in your product that, sort of reveal it's a made-to-order product as opposed to it you know looking like a ready-to-wear product like to do you find customers like. Intentionally select those pictures so that they're sort of broadcasting a little bit that they that they wearing a maid. Scot & Drew: [24:34] Yeah I mean that's not what I mean about being able to create their own brand right there not. You know they're when they're creating an indochino garment they're creating something that's truly one of a kind. And they're able to you don't put a monogram very very easily you know what that the jockey on the shirt or on other parts of the Garmin. You know they're able to pick their own lining from dozens of different choices are able to pick a fabric. And maybe mix. Fabrics you know applecross the suit and so you're really there's dozens of difference. Customisations in personalizations and if you know you kind of look at all the permutations that could be great just literally tens of millions of different types of suits. I could be created I think that's really feeling you don't know if you guys remember but I always hated you know in high school going to a party and. Bought a sweater at you know whatever retailer and then find out that there's three other guys about party with the same sweater or same jacket out of you and so yeah that doesn't happen within the Chino grated your own again one of a kind. Jason: [25:44] I totally get your point but I don't think Scott or I got invited to parties in high school very much. Scot & Drew: [25:50] I've I've seen Scott of the few parties I don't know then I don't know. Jason: [25:55] I am teasing you like to see your urine. That's one of the Leading Edge category in terms of made-to-order I do do you see that extending two more generally the other consumer products like the fact that that's a continuing Trend or do you think it will stick with you no particular vertical. Scot & Drew: [26:14] Are you know what's another great question that I do think that. A big part of the future retail is going to be more customize and personalize product and the more of that you know retailers or companies or any tractors can get away from. Commoditized product I think more success than the house and so I really do feel like at the highest level custom but I'll say is custom. Your product is is is really the future of retail in a lot of different verticals but certainly in a Peril for sure. Jason: [26:50] Yep and obviously that's that certainly helps you build a competitive moat. Scot & Drew: [26:55] You know what does I mean you'll think about competitive Moses you got to be you know aware of of what you need to do to to protect and grow the business and you know we constantly look for. What are call additional Motes if you will but you know where we're at work we're humbled by the response that we're getting from consumers right now. And we're very excited about what you know what the decades ahead are going to bring some. Jason: [27:25] Another area is our future looking that I'm always interested in and I talked a lot about fit man we talked about, in the ready-to-wear space the return rates are huge and typically the number one reason for returns are are fitment issues you obviously saw that for the subset of your customers that go to a show and they think they can get. Measured by a tailor but to enable more people to be self-service and reach more people I I imagine you're always interested in your how to best get measurements at home I know there's at least one company in the space that tries to use, the mobile phone camera for fitment and I I think you know I suspect that strongly a gimmick but I do know there's a lot of phones coming out with sort of, 3D scanning capability in that, you know I've always speculated that potentially is really useful for fitting in are you guys looking at all it does sound kind of Technologies. Scot & Drew: [28:20] Yeah we are I mean we're always looking at new ways to create and craft a perfectly fitted garment I think. You know if it's an extremely complex business right in terms of creating you no one to one product on app for Consumer bases and. Well those take that Technologies are full and you know seem to be enough to come in and out I I do think the back-end operations of how you create. You know I shouldn't Wonder one product her customer is is the most important the last thing you want to do. Is introduced the technology that you're going to end up with you know return rates that are closer to you know traditional apparel on so there's going to be a lot of Technology development around. You know how you get measurements or how we get measurements but you know how I kind of like what we're doing right now in terms of the technology that we used to. We got the garments right on a one-to-one basis. Jason: [29:21] Gotcha another Trend like in this are the Jason spaces that I've been a little interested in last quarter Adidas did this interesting pilot wear their weaving sweaters. On demand in a store and then I think it's Ministry of Supply in Boston literally have a. [29:40] A blaze or weaving machine in the store and I'm going to say Loosely they make a Blazer while you wait I think it's like a three or four hour process. [29:51] So obviously not not super convenient or scalable right at the moment but like is that a potential. [29:57] Opportunity for you or competitor for you in the future iqc the technology ever getting good enough that a lot of the stuff gets made in in real time in stores or ship same day to customers are those kinds of things. Scot & Drew: [30:09] Yeah I mean I think anything's possible as we you know as we go through the years and decades ahead of deep deep thought of being able to create. You know garment like we create but do it same day or in the store or have it delivered the same day I mean that's an incredibly. You know bold dream or delivery but you are hot for my from a super spective I do believe that were one of the fastest in terms of how we produce. Supply chain all the way through the consumer demand and like I mentioned earlier you no more costly off to my second tweaking. Because once you get it down to under a weeks you've got something very very unique and highly competitive. You know what is essentially about a 7 billion dollar Market North America on South. Yeah I've seen I'll call them campaigns or product launches that you mentioned but I think we're a little ways from being able to scale that I'm a space South. Jason: [31:12] For sure for sure it does certainly seem like that kind of you know early tip of the spear examples on which are always interesting but probably not economically viable for the last question. Anything else that has you excited or interesting about the the future of Commerce in general or or your space in particular and India. [31:31] Trans you are seeing on the horizon. Scot & Drew: [31:35] You know what man like I said as a technology e-commerce guy I'm just. I really really big fan and really interested on how retails of all day you know it's that's what's got me most excited and interested on how. Online-only Brands transition into either or not the channel environment or how do they leverage retail to drive their business I think there's going to be. Thriller credible Innovations and developments over the coming years and we hope to be part of that we think we are actually you have big part of it and Four Mile from a later shift perspective in and leaving the weather. Jason: [32:15] Terrific I think that's actually going to be a great place to, to wrap up because it is happen again we've used up all our a lot of time so Drew I really want to thank you for joining us in the sharing the indochino experience with the RR listeners and I'll remind listeners as always, you're welcome to continue the dialogue on our Facebook page if you like today show we would certainly appreciate a 5-star review on iTunes if you hated today. Scot & Drew: [32:44] Absolutely do not review cuz it was probably my fault if you hate it you guys are great I appreciate your time today. Thanks truly look forward to hearing more about the success of indochino. Jason: [32:59] Until next time happy conversing.
