In this week's episode of the Future Construct Podcast (32 min interview), we are excited to feature Cynthia Maller, Head of 3D Creative Technology at Walmart (@Walmart), and our host Amy Peck (@AmyPeckXR). Cynthia Maller is also the Head of 3D Creative Technology at three of Walmart's digitally-native brands: Hayneedle, Art.com and Allswell. She is a Certified Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Practitioner. Her focus is strengthening and scaling the three pillars of 3D in retail: inspiring aesthetics, visual integrity and operational excellence. She believes that every one of us has the talent and capability to add value to immersive commerce, and to be a builder, a citizen and a purveyor in the Metaverse. This drives her commitment to peer education, advocacy and invention. When she's not at work, she's on the ice, feeding her passion for figure skating. Her drive to try new things, to push herself, both in commerce technology and on the ice, is guided by the words of Erin Hanson, “What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, What if you fly?"Highlights of Cynthia's interview with host Amy Peck (@AmyPeckXR) include:- How Cynthia developed Walmart to be "plug-and-play" and not vertical-specific in the world of 3D and visualization.- The evolution of Cynthia's role becoming the go-to resource for Walmart about the metaverse- How consumers can utilize 3D on a daily basis, and how they can become more involved in the conversation about integration- The concept of gamification and developing more comfort about its adoptionIn 1999, Cynthia began working as a Creative Director for Yahoo, and for the next 15 years, she held that same roles for large companies including Gyro International, Johnson and Johnson, PayPal, Sam's Club and Adobe. In 2015, she started shifting her focus towards user experience at Touch of Modern, where she led the UX team across all platforms, led a team of 18 photographers, stylists, and editors, and led brand development, creative, and packaging for 4 private label brands She was able to sell through excellent design and strategic innovations to an approval council comprised of four founders, she created the first-ever 360 review process for HR. Cynthia, then took her talents and accomplishments to Munchery. She has acquired a wealth of knowledge in creative technology, and continues to expand her expertise in her role at Walmart. Walmart aims to build a better world — helping people live better and renew the planet while building thriving, resilient communities. For them, this means working to create opportunity, build a more sustainable future, advance diversity, equity and inclusion and bring communities closer together.SHOW NOTES0:12  - Amy Peck introduces Cynthia Maller, Head of 3D Creative Technology at Walmart.06:09  - You were a visionary when you saw this evolution of 3D coming, and now it's metaverse everything. We're moving from 2D screens to 3D. How has been becoming the go-to resource for the entire company [Walmart] about the metaverse?18:26  - Now hand in hand with the metaverse, another term we keep hearing about is this "creator economy," and it's similar to what you're doing at [Walmart]. How would people use 3D to do what do on a daily basis, and how do you engage consumers in that conversation of integrating that?23:42  - You mention gamification, and that can have a positive or negative connotation, depending on who you talk to. So, how do we become more comfortable with the concept of gamification? 27:30  - If you could project yourself 20 years into the future, and if you could have any product or service or gadget or thing, that for you, would make your life better or make you personally happy, what would it be and what would it do?

I remember my first time taking an Uber. Cool car. Smelled nice. I knew what the price would be the second I booked it and way cheaper than a taxi. Hooked. Rented an million-dollar mansion on Airbnb in Breckenridge to ski. 3 stories. Hot tubs. Close to the slopes. Split it cheap with some friends.  MoviePass! $10 a month to see all the movies you want! I mean, c'mon. We all knew deep down that couldn't last, but we hoped the rest would.  And now its over. Why? We were living that Gucci lifestyle at Nike prices. Those companies were subsidizing their services to get you hooked, but now that they're public, they HAVE to turn a profit and the only way to do that is raise fees and prices. Do you know how large the graveyard is of food delivery services? Maple. Sprig. Spoonrocket. Munchery. Those are just a few who have started and died after being unable to sustain growth by getting more funding from venture capitalist firms. Classpass was a $99 a month unlimited spin class plan.  We went into subscription and everything as a service hyperactive mode and it was all so cheap, why bother to start asking questions if it will last? Because deep down, just like that Illenium song, Good Things Fall Apart. The business model went like this. Build some code and an app. Make a service to-your-door or monthly accessible at a ridiculously low price. Get lots of users. Show that to venture capitalists who will give you tons of money. Make app better. Get more users. Get more money from VCs. All while, burning cash left and right and not making a profit. If lucky, get to IPO, cash out and become billionaires.  That's where most of the ones that have survived are now. The top members and early VCs made their money and now they have to make a profit. Turns out, raising prices is the only way to do it and they're praying to the Wall Street gods that you'll stick around for it the service you love so much.

David Hauser has built a number of successful companies in the startup space, both organically and inorganically. He is the founder of Grasshopper, which was acquired by Citrix after he bootstrapped the company to $30M+. David founded Chargify and made it profitable, securing a Mark Cuban investment. He founded ReturnPath and is a founding member of National Entrepreneurs’ Day (http://entrepreneursday.org). David is an angel investor in Intercom, Unbounce, Munchery, Groove and more. He is a public speaker at FOWA, Big Omaha, LessConf, SuperConf, Entrepreneurs Organization, and has received major media coverage by CNN, Fox, Inc. Magazine, Fortune, Entrepreneur, Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Inc. 30 Under 30. — As leaders and business owners, we prioritize other people’s needs. It is part of what makes us great leaders in the first place. You signed up for long days and late nights when you entered this world, but you can only operate at full capacity when you put your oxygen mask on first. Sometimes, to help others, you have to help yourself. David Hauser explores that notion and more in his new book, Unstoppable. We preach the importance of health and wellness, but we don’t always practice it ourselves. David Hauser struggled to prioritize self-care in the hustle-hard culture of modern entrepreneurship—a position that many of us are in right now. You have to recognize that there is no ‘right’ time to start practicing self-care and stop putting it off. When you achieve balance and become the best version of yourself, your business will reflect that. Health and wellness is a great place to start. In this episode of the Absolute Advantage podcast, David Hauser joins us to share his journey of personal development. He discusses the key principles in his book, “Unstoppable,” such as the optimization mindset, the myths surrounding diet and exercise, and the top things you should be paying attention to on your own journey.

On this episode, host Jenna Liut and associate producer Taylor Lanzet discuss the USDA’s proposed changes for retailers participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (or, SNAP). This program is the largest in the domestic hunger safety net and over 44 million Americans rely on it. According to the USDA, as of September 2015 over 250,000 firms were authorized to participate in SNAP. Recently, the USDA released its proposal to require retailers to supply a wider variety of healthy and whole foods for SNAP recipients, which has been met with a great deal of resistance. Joining us on the line today to dig into the details of the USDA’s proposal, what the response to it has been and what it means for the people relying on the program is Chuck Abbott, editor of Ag Insider published by the Food and Environment Reporting Network, who has covered food and agriculture policy in Washington for three decades.

While every department needs a strong leader within the company, it can be said that customer experience needs an exceptionally strong leader. The reason being it's not always intuitive for companies to invest in strong customer experience programs. Much of the budget goes to marketing or product or sales. That said, on the modern customer podcast this week we feature customer experience leader Leyla Seka. You might know the name Seka because she was a key influence on Marc Benioff's decision to make equal pay for women a priority at Salesforce, a Fortune 500 company. She was integral to the Women's Leadership Summit this year at Salesforce's annual Dreamforce conference. Whether it's conveying Dolly Parton's lessons about customer service or talking about empathy, Seka has a fresh and imaginative perspective on business that's infectious. In this podcast we hear leading ideas on modern customer experience, an exclusive look into Seka's views on career and much much more. Seka is a leader in the customer experience industry serving as SVP and General Manager of Desk.com, Salesforce's all-in-one customer service app for fast-growing companies such as Yelp, SnapChat, Munchery, Bonobos, Dot & Bo and Luxe Valet. Desk.com connects agents with email, phone calls and social channels. Salesforce had an immense impact on the way companies interact with customers, specifically how companies store and manage that customer data. Gone are the days where everyone in the company doesn't have the opportunity to touch that customer interaction, and collaborate around it. Desk.com plays a key role in the customer service side of customer experience. More about Leyla Seka Prior to her role as General Manager and Senior Vice President, Salesforce Desk.com Seka was responsible for building and growing the Salesforce AppExchange, the world's leading business apps marketplace. In her eight years at Salesforce, Seka has held a variety of positions across product management, product marketing and business operations helping to build a scalable infrastructure to support the company's business. Prior to Salesforce, Seka worked in product management and marketing organizations at Primavera Systems (acquired by Oracle), Evolve Software, Vivant and Eutron SPA. Seka also spent two years in West Africa as a Peace Corps officer in Mali. Seka holds a BA in International Relations and French from the University of California at Davis and a MBA from the Masagung School of Management at the University of San Francisco.
