We had to work a lot early on to better understand the needs of both buyers and sellers.” - Dan DeMeyere[00:12:15]: “It was a little bit like jumping out of an airplane and just having trust in ourselves that we're gonna build or find a parachute before we hit the ground.” - Dan DeMeyere[00:20:30]: “Trust is so important, especially in the used space. We have to become clever in helping customers feel confident with the potential fit and flattery of every item.” - Dan DeMeyere[00:39:30]: “If your core experience can be improved through AI, why do you need to put ‘AI' on the website? It's about the value you bring, the job they're hiring you for.” - Dan DeMeyereAbout the GuestDan DeMeyere is the Chief Product and Technology Officer at ThredUp, a leading online resale platform pioneering sustainable fashion through technology and operational innovation.

Thinking about remodeling your home? Before you grab a hammer, find out which projects actually boost your home's value and which ones could drain your budget. In this week's episode, we explore where to splurge, where to save, and how to plan a remodel that works for your lifestyle and your bottom line. You'll also hear how to preserve historic character while adding modern updates, tips for finding a reliable contractor, and whether two-toned kitchen cabinets are in or out.

In this episode of The Voice of Retail podcast, host Michael LeBlanc welcomes back retail strategist, educator, and thought leader David Ian Gray, Principal of DIG360 Consulting Ltd. and retail faculty at Capilano University's School of Business. Together, they explore the latest Angus Reid survey on Canadian shopping habits and the rapidly evolving pre-owned and circular retail economy.David begins by setting the stage with his dual role: guiding Canadian retailers through strategic challenges while also developing retail-focused academic programming in Vancouver. He shares his perspective on how the local retail scene is rebuilding post-pandemic, with indie retail and dining seeing a revival even as downtown Vancouver struggles with the loss of anchor stores like Nordstrom and Hudson's Bay.The heart of the conversation is David's latest consumer research, developed in partnership with Angus Reid. The study reveals that 77% of Canadian adults purchased pre-owned items in the past year, proving that second-hand shopping has gone fully mainstream. Canadians aren't just bargain hunting—they're motivated by sustainability, affordability, and the thrill of finding something unique.The conversation highlights surprising generational behaviors, such as Gen Z's enthusiasm for vinyl records and printed books, a countertrend to the assumption that digital-first generations avoid physical media. David suggests this reflects a desire for independence from digital platforms and a deeper need for tangible, cultural experiences.Michael and David also unpack the dominance of Facebook Marketplace, where 76% of respondents reported making a purchase in the past year, underscoring the hybrid online/offline nature of second-hand shopping. They contrast this with other channels—Kijiji, eBay, luxury resale platforms like Poshmark, charity thrift stores, and even brand-led resale initiatives from Canada Goose, IKEA, and Patagonia.For Canadian retailers, the research carries critical lessons. Second-hand is no longer a niche category but a major competitor for consumer dollars. David warns that traditional retailers may underestimate how much revenue is “leaking” into resale markets. While profitability challenges remain—logistics, inventory management, and product quality—brands that strategically embrace resale can enhance consumer loyalty, sustainability credentials, and differentiation.The episode closes with a rapid-fire round covering the future of AI in retail, Hudson's Bay's uncertain real estate footprint, Vancouver's Retail West conference, and the biggest Canadian retail story to watch in 2025: tariff uncertainty. David emphasizes that until trade clarity is achieved, Canadian retailers will remain cautious in decision-making. The Voice of Retail podcast is presented by Hale, a performance marketing partner trusted by brands like ASICS, Saje, and Orangetheory to scale with focus and impact. Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E. LeBlanc & Company Inc, a senior retail advisor, keynote speaker and now, media entrepreneur. He has been on the front lines of retail industry change for his entire career. Michael has delivered keynotes, hosted fire-side discussions and participated worldwide in thought leadership panels, most recently on the main stage in Toronto at Retail Council of Canada's Retail Marketing conference with leaders from Walmart & Google. He brings 25+ years of brand/retail/marketing & eCommerce leadership experience with Levi's, Black & Decker, Hudson's Bay, CanWest Media, Pandora Jewellery, The Shopping Channel and Retail Council of Canada to his advisory, speaking and media practice.Michael produces and hosts a network of leading retail trade podcasts, including the award-winning No.1 independent retail industry podcast in America, Remarkable Retail with his partner, Dallas-based best-selling author Steve Dennis; Canada's top retail industry podcast The Voice of Retail and Canada's top food industry and one of the top Canadian-produced management independent podcasts in the country, The Food Professor with Dr. Sylvain Charlebois from Dalhousie University in Halifax.Rethink Retail has recognized Michael as one of the top global retail experts for the fifth year in a row, the National Retail Federation has designated Michael as on their Top Retail Voices for 2025, Thinkers 360 has named him on of the Top 50 global thought leaders in retail, RTIH has named him a top 100 global though leader in retail technology and Coresight Research has named Michael a Retail AI Influencer.

What does it really take to build a successful textile recommerce model? Product lifetime extension and recommerce are widely seen as pillars of a circular economy, but moving beyond pilot projects requires more than ambition. Brands must confront operational, financial, and customer-facing challenges to scale recommerce in a way that delivers both impact and profit. In this episode, speakers from fashion, outdoor gear, and platform services share practical insights on what works, what stalls, and what it takes to grow textile recommerce models at scale. Recorded live at the CIRCULAR REPUBLIC FESTIVAL 2025, the panel brought together Christina Rosenberg from HUGO BOSS, Carl Warkentin from CIRCULAR REPUBLIC, Jens Oellrich from Bergzeit, Matt Peterson from Gore, and Max Grosse Lutermann from Trove to explore the barriers and enablers of circular resale strategies. This episode is part of our CIRCULAR REPUBLIC FESTIVAL 2025 series, created in partnership with CIRCULAR REPUBLIC to bring you the key debates and insights from this year's festival.

Times are tough for property owners as they see the lowest resale profits in over a decade. Cotality's latest Pain & Gain Report shows 89.4% of homes sold above their purchase price last quarter – the lowest since 2014. Christchurch was the most resilient of the main centres, with 4.9% of Q2 resales made at a loss, well below the national average of 10.6%, while Auckland recorded the highest proportion of loss-making sales at 15.9%. NZ Property Investors Federation's Matt Ball told Ryan Bridge this is only a problem for those who are being forced to sell. For property investors, he says, unless you bought at the peak and have to sell for some reason, this is just another cycle to ride out.

In this episode of Nuggets On The Go, Melvin Lim and George Peng from PropertyLimBrothers break down the property strategies available to buyers in their late 40s — from stretching tenure for better cash flow, to deciding between consolidating into a landed home or maintaining two condominiums.   They explore the “equity triangle” framework, where age, debt, and equity interact to shape long-term financial outcomes, and unpack how lease reset analysis can reveal hidden pitfalls in older resale projects. The discussion also covers the harmonised layout effect, the strategic use of 2M1B for multi-generational planning, and the concept of a “reverse BTO” — securing a new HDB flat later in life for retirement convenience.   For those weighing growth versus preservation, the episode offers grounded perspectives on timing, loan sustainability, and exit planning. If you're in your 40s or 50s and preparing for your final major property move, this is one to take notes on.   00:00 Intro 01:20 George's most stressful deal 07:44 What is "2M 1B"? 10:00 Why is age important? 12:30 Equity triangle 18:33 Real estate investment is also DCA 20:19 2 interest-rate cuts in September 23:50 Resale market movement in the future 27:03 Lease Reset Disparity 31:00 Dual-income, no children investment case study 35:30 Quantum disparity challenge 36:55 What should be the gap for quantum?

November is synonymous with Black Friday, great deals but what cost? Over consumption is endangering our already fragile planet. Is it time to change our ways? This week Do You Really Know is highlighting concepts and initiatives about reducing our consumption. You might have heard of ‘reduce, reuse, recycle' a motto with the aim of encouraging us to think about how we consume and consider the impact that buying lots of stuff has on the planet. But now the high end department store Selfridges has launched a new campaign, ‘Project Earth' to try and change the way we shop: resale, repair, rental and refill is their response to customers' growing demands for sustainable shopping and move away from fast fashion and disposable goods. What is the aim? How will it work? What other changes has Selfridges planned? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Jeremy Bilotti and David Rosenwasser met at Cornell's architecture school and bonded instantly over their shared love of modernist design. Over the past 10 years, they've built Rarify into a unique and multifaceted company, one that combines vintage resale, e-commerce, a contract furniture dealership, and a retail store in Philadelphia—not to mention a popular Instagram account that draws millions of views for its deep dives into the past, present and future of great furniture.On this episode of the podcast, Bilotti and Rosenwasser tell host Dennis Scully how a $120,000 sale to a collector in the Philippines gave them the seed money to get started, why they're looking to break up what they call the “commercial furniture mafia,” and why their ultimate ambition is to take what Knoll was in 1948 and remake it for the modern day. This episode is sponsored by LoloiLINKSRarifyDennis ScullyBusiness of Home

Planning to buy a condo in 2025? Don't just compare PSF and assume it's a good deal. In this episode of NOTG, Melvin Lim from PropertyLimBrothers defines 3 condo-buying frameworks that help condo-hunters make sense of why some new launch and resale prices.   Understand why some resale units are now asking north of $2,200 PSF—the same range as new launches—and what that really means when lease balance, renovation costs, and exit potential is factored in. With more OCR and RCR projects hitting the market, including first-mover launches like Springleaf Residence, it's becoming trickier to tell what's actually worth buying.   Sitting on the fence between resale and new launch? The difference lies in how each holds value over time—not what it costs today. Before making an offer, running it through these frameworks could reveal risks or upside that aren't immediately obvious—and potentially prevent costly mistakes.   00:00 Introduction 02:40 5 year cycle 05:30 TOP Effect 07:40 No COV 08:44 3rd Exit Audience 09:31 Popular with tenants 09:51 New Design & Low renovation cost 10:21 Progressive payment 11:11 SSD / Black out period 14:00 Brand new lease 16:00 1 year delayed installment 16:18 Defect Warranty 16:43 1st Mover Advantage 18:49 Caveat Emptor - What you see is what you get 19:10 Summary 19:36 2 Types of Disparity Effect Strategy 25:40 2025 | Abnormal inflation to future price expectations by resale sellers 27:00 2028 | Real estate market prediction 27:25 Closing words 28:00 Outtakes
