Amazon introduces its new AI feature “Help Me Decide” – a shopping assistant that uses your browsing and search history to make suggestions for your next purchase. In addition to this news, Valerie and Ingrid also discuss why Bauhaus only launched its marketplace after two years of development and whether the DIY market is too late to the party. They talk about a real early starter in the refurbished goods market, namely refurbed and its planned expansion into the UK. They also take a look at Zalando's market entry in Portugal and what it means for the market there. And they talk about the highly astonishing figures that can be gleaned from the transparency reports of the Very Large Online Platforms (spoiler: Aliexpress is much bigger than most people think).Here is the link to all the VLOP figures: https://marketplace-universe.com/chinese-platforms-in-europe/ Note from the sponsor base:Central and Eastern Europe, global giants like Aliexpress and Temu are making waves, but it's local heroes that truly dominate the scene: Allegro leads the pack in Poland with over €12 billion in GMV, eMAG is a powerhouse in Romania, and Heureka has expanded from a price comparison site to a marketplace giant in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. And with platforms like Aliexpress, Temu, and Shein continuing to grow, CEE has become the perfect playground for e-commerce opportunities.

Our guest on this week's episode is Frank Kenney, director of industry strategy at Cleo. The Federal government shutdown is in its third week now with no end in sight. Beyond the politics of each party blaming the other for failing to fund the government, there are real repercussions that affect many aspects of American life – including our supply chains. Our guests shares how this latest disruption is adding even more uncertainty and how our supply chains should respond. Price and trust top shoppers' wish lists this holiday season, as U.S. consumers say accurate delivery promises are just as important as good deals this year, ramping up the pressure on retailers to meet shipping expectations.The trucking industry has been in a freight recession for more than three years now, which generally means there are too many trucks for not enough freight, so the rates that drivers can charge are super low. But there's more to the picture than that, and this week we saw a report that shed some light on it. It reveals that business conditions are very different depending if you're in the truckload sector, less than truckload, or parcel. Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A new series is now available on Top Threats to our Supply Chains.

Our guest on this week's episode is Scott Cornell, vice president, National Practice Lead—Transportation and Inland Marine at Travelers. Summer will soon be wrapping up, but the heat of summer will be around for a few more weeks yet, at least. Too much of that heat can destroy food and other products while they are in transit. How can we protect temperature-controlled cargo? We have some tips. As we approach peak season, a new survey shows that the supply chain sector is actually feeling more confident in their fulfillment systems for 2025 than they were in 2024. The research shows that 84% expressed confidence in their fulfillment systems for 2025, compared to the 70% of executives who entered peak season confident last year.Conditions in the truckload freight market have remained stable this year but coming peak-season shipping activity is likely to test that stability. This is according to some recent data from freight brokerage RXO, which released its latest quarterly Curve report earlier this month. We share the results of that research and what it may mean for pricing and truckload capacity. Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Gail Lukasik grew up in the suburb of Parma. Her mother, an avid moviegoer, took her Friday nights to the local movie theater. That's where she fell in love with stories of all kinds. Her dream was to be a movie star, a ballerina or a writer. As luck would have it, she realized two of her three dreams. She was a member of the Cleveland Civic Ballet Company. And she's the author of five mystery novels, a memoir, a book of poetry, and numerous poems, essays, and short stories. After earning a PhD and MA in English with a specialization in writing poetry, Gail decided to write a mystery novel at the urging of her son. Destroying Angels, the first book in her Leigh Girard mystery series, was described by Kirkus Reviews as “a riveting debut thriller.” She went on to write two more books in the series, Death's Door and Peak Season for Murder, which won a Lovey Award for Best Traditional Sleuth. The Lost Artist, her stand-alone mystery, reflected her love of the visual arts and 19th century history. In 2017 Gail's memoir, White Like Her: My Family's Story of Race and Racial Passing, captured national and international attention. The Washington Post named the book one of the most inspiring stories of the year. After she and her “lost” New Orleans family appeared on NBC's The Today Show, her memoir reached the top 100 book on Amazon and led to her appearing in the short documentary film, History of Memory. The film won a Tribeca Film Award (Amazon Prime). Her section of the film, “The Secret Album,” tells her mother's story of passing. Gail's many of years of teaching on the university level segued into a vibrant speaking career. She's given numerous presentations at libraries, books groups, genealogical and historical organizations, and was on BBC World News, WGN-TV Morning News Show, WTTW's Chicago Tonight and CBC Radio Canada, to name a few. She's also lectured on diversity and the writing process at the University of Illinois-Chicago, Kenyon College and Northwestern University. Her articles about coming to terms with her mixed-race identity were published in The Washington Post, Mic.com, Salon.com, Independent.co.uk, Upworthy, Mis. Magazine and The Daily Beast. Wanting to return to her mystery roots, Gail wrote her fifth mystery, The Darkness Surrounds Us, a Gothic, historical mystery. Two historical events inspired the book—the 1918 Spanish flu and the rise of utopian communities in the 19th century. Still an avid moviegoer, Gail lives in Libertyville, Illinois with her husband.

This is a jam packed episode with inspiring storytellers through food, film, and fiction. We start with a panel chat with Hugo Gamino and Claudia Restrepo. Hugo is a chef and writer dedicated to sharing the untold stories behind the recipes that have shaped his life and career. His writing is fostering understanding, and bringing to life an empathetic viewpoint of diversity while challenging toxic masculinity. Claudia is an LA-based writer, director, and actor who is passionate about minority and queer representation, both in front and behind the camera. She recently executive produced and starred in the film “Peak Season” a refreshing romantic comedy that's free from the typical tropes of its genre. See it now on Prime.  Next up, we have Paola Mendoza, who you may know as  the artist director and co-founder of the 2017 Women's March. She's directed many projects, including the beautiful film “Entre Nos”, the semi-autobiographical story based on Paola's mother's arrival to the US from Colombia. Paola joins us to speak about her latest book, SOLIS, which she co-wrote with Abby Sher and is a companion to their first book, Sanctuary. Especially in light of candidate Trump's vile depiction of immigration during the debate, we need works of art like SOLIS to remind us that the dystopian world in the story is not too far off where we can be headed if he is reelected.

What happens when you make two micro-budget films back-to-back? For filmmakers Henry Loevner and Stephen Cantor, it sparks what they've dubbed the “micro-budget chain reaction,” inspiring others in their community to pick up cameras and start shooting. As the industry consolidates and traditional distribution becomes harder to navigate, indie filmmakers are finding new ways to create and share their work, embracing folk filmmaking and using platforms like YouTube to bypass traditional barriers. Peak Season, the duo's second feature, serves as a perfect example of this movement.   In today's episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins speaks with filmmakers Henry Loevner and Stephen Cantor to discuss: What the "micro-budget chain reaction" means and how it inspired others to follow in their footsteps The challenges of making two micro-budget films back-to-back The impact of friends and community on the rise of indie filmmaking Their experience shooting Peak Season in Wyoming with a small crew How the landscape of indie film distribution is changing and why many filmmakers are turning to YouTube The importance of flexibility and improvisation in low-budget filmmaking How Peak Season found its audience and landed a theatrical release Why Henry and Stephen are ready to transition to a studio film after their micro-budget projects   Memorable Quotes: "It's contagious for better or worse... we're making something, and we're not waiting for permission." [5:40] “Despite all the doom and gloom about the industry in general and how hard it is to make a living, there's never been an easier time to go out and make your film.” [6:43] “If you just put your movie on YouTube, you can get it out there immediately, which is amazing.” [8:19] “If you've written a script and it's going to take $10 million to make this movie and you don't have $10 million, then write a new script.” [51:33] “The only way to do it is you have to just write something small that you can manage. Write something that's set in a single location.” [51:56]   Mentioned Peak Season on IMDb Follow Henry Loevner on IG Follow Stephen Cantor on Instagram   Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web https://nofilmschool.com/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/nofilmschool Twitter https://twitter.com/nofilmschool YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/nofilmschool Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nofilmschool Send us an email with questions or feedback: podcast@nofilmschool.com!

Dave jokes that it's Megan's big week on Spoilerpiece: She saw all three movies on the docket! First, she fills Evan and Dave in on DOCTOR JEKYLL (2:27), a contemporary update of Robert Louis Stephenson's classic novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with Eddie Izzard as Dr. Nina Jekyll (good) and Rachel Hyde (bad). Is it the gothic horror it's laid out to be in the press notes? Or something different? Then Megan talks about SING SING (14:14), a drama based on the real-life Rehabilitation Through the Arts program at Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison. Megan loved Colman Domingo's and Paul Raci's performances, and has heaps of praise for the movie. Finally, everyone saw PEAK SEASON (24:48), a comic drama about the bond a burned out New Yorker makes with her fishing guide on a trip to Montana. We all loved it. Over on Patreon, Evan and Dave talk about Robert Altman's 3 WOMEN, which stars Shelley Duvall, who left us in early July.
