What if the biggest threat to your brand's profitability isn't the next tariff or supply chain disruption, but an outdated playbook that forces you to choose between raising prices on loyal customers or sacrificing your margins?Agility requires more than just reacting quickly to market changes; it requires the intelligence to anticipate them and automate the optimal response. Today, we're going to talk about how leading retail brands are navigating complex economic pressures like tariffs and inflation—not by resorting to the old tactics of deep discounts or across-the-board price hikes, but by deploying AI to create a more resilient and intelligent operation. We'll explore how AI is helping brands maintain pricing stability, turn insights from major shopping events into real-time strategy, and fundamentally shift teams from staring at dashboards to taking automated, margin-protecting actions. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Sai Koppala, CMO at CommerceIQ. About Sai Koppala Sai brings over 20 years of marketing and strategy experience.

Ranking Resilience and the Importance of Water: Colleague Eric Cline uses definitions from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—coping, adapting, and transforming—to rank ancient civilizations, attributing the survival of Egypt and Assyria partly to their access to major river systems, a resource the failed Hittite empire lacked; the Phoenicians and Cypriots are ranked highest for "transforming" and becoming antifragile, while Egypt is described as merely "coping," and the Cypriots eventually lost their independence to Assyrian expansion despite their initial post-collapse success. 1953 Retry

The Oster Conspiracy and the Resilience of the Fellowship: Colleague Charles Spicer discusses the 1938 crisis, focusing on the "Oster Conspiracy," a credible German plot to arrest Hitler that was undermined by Prime Minister Chamberlain's appeasement visits; despite the shock of Kristallnacht, the Anglo-German Fellowship remained a crucial channel for intelligence, with reports from Conwell-Evans regarding Ribbentrop discussed in the British Cabinet, proving that high-quality intelligence was reaching decision-makers, though the British government prioritized diplomatic engagement over supporting internal regime change, missing a significant opportunity to stop the dictator. 1938

Assyrian Resilience Through Leadership and War: Colleague Eric Cline focuses on the survivors of the Bronze Age collapse, identifying the Assyrians as a key example of resilience who maintained their monarchy, military, and writing systems through strong leadership, adapting to the loss of trading partners by engaging in constant warfare to secure resources, detailing the complex fluctuating relationship between the Neo-Assyrians and Neo-Babylonians who alternated between alliance and enmity until the Assyrians were eventually upended by the Babylonians centuries later. 1953

My highest weight was 233 lbs at 5'0”. That was in 2008. At that time, I went through with gastric bypass surgery. I had always been somewhat overweight, but through four pregnancies, I just kept gaining. I also dealt with postpartum depression and unresolved childhood trauma, which probably led to more overeating and a lack of motivation and energy. After the surgery, I lost weight quickly. I found myself in the 120-pound range. I was loving life. I soon began going out to bars and partying, leaving my husband and children behind. I eventually left my husband, split up our family, and continued down that very selfish path. I believe that I was self-medicating and replacing my food addiction with alcohol. I loved the attention I was getting from men. I somehow managed to raise my children for the next 17 years, but that road was really rough, especially for them. I ended up losing my career as a certified nursing assistant, dealt with legal ramifications after a couple of DWIs, and lost custody of two of my children for a time due to the drinking. I fought with my weight off and on during those years, never gaining all of it back, but certainly not taking care of myself consistently. I found myself in rehab and psychiatric hospitals as I tried to get the drinking under control.On May 12, 2025, I woke up. I have not looked back. I stopped drinking that day and have not touched it since. I am not sure to this day what finally shook me to my senses. It took a couple of weeks as I gently worked within myself to decide what was important to me and who I wanted to be. I knew that I wanted to live the most whole life possible and be the personmy children had been missing out on all of these years. I somehow came across the idea of intermittent fasting. I honestly can't remember where. I started listening to Gin Stephens' podcasts, then read her book ‘Fast, Feast, Repeat, and on June 13, I began Alternate Day Fasting. I fast for 36 hours and then eat primarily whole foods during a 12-hour window. I am very forgiving of myself and allow exceptions. I have taken a vacation, gone camping, and celebrated essential events with food, but as soon as the trip or event is over, I jump right back into my schedule. If I want a treat,I plan to have it during my 12-hourwindow. I also feel that a clean fast is crucial. I stick with water - adding sea salt to some every morning, black coffee, plain green or black tea, or plain seltzer water. Unfortunately, my job does require that I taste-test cream cheese some days, but I do what I have to do and then jump right back into my schedule. ADF has changed my life. I don't think I would have continued my sobriety had I not started intermittent fasting. It gives me a sense of control over my day. I have added pilates and yoga daily, and I'm trying to get in 10,000 steps. I have been able to stop taking all of my depression, anxiety and psychosis medications. Turns out when you aren't drinking, and you take care of your body, your mind is much healthier!(This isn't to say that everyone who follows intermittent fasting will be able to step away from the help that behavioural health medications provide - it just turns out that my issues were alcohol related and resolved after stopping drinking and through therapy.) When I began my journey toward a healthier me, I weighed 172 pounds. I have since lost 47 pounds as of October 26 and have reached mygoal weight of 125 pounds. I do have a new goal of 110pounds, but am completely fine with where I'm at.

Jim Cregan built Jimmy's Iced Coffee from a simple idea into a national brand. This episode captures how he pushed through debt, setbacks and doubt to create real momentum.Speaking with Jim Cregan reminded me how often founders underestimate the grind behind a brand that looks simple from the outside. Jim described the early days of Jimmy's Iced Coffee when he was £50,000 in debt, unsure of the next step and carrying the pressure of keeping the business alive. What shifted things was not luck. It was action. Handwritten letters, direct outreach, relentless product sampling and a refusal to step back when the numbers looked bleak.

Ep. 225 If you've been doubting your growth this year, this episode will open your eyes to just how far you've come and why you deserve to end 2025 proud, grounded, and unapologetically in your power. In this deeply reflective episode of HealingHer Within, host Maryann Rivera-Dannert walks you through 25 things she's truly grateful for in 2025 — and invites you to pause, reflect, and honor how you've evolved this year. From healing her past to holding firm boundaries, expanding her business, stepping into visibility, embracing divine timing, and nurturing herself with intention, Maryann breaks down the inner work, the breakthroughs, and the bold decisions that shaped her year. This episode is not just a gratitude list — it's a blueprint for how to close your year strong, aligned, and fully awake to who you are becoming. Whether you're celebrating wins or navigating hard truths, you'll walk away feeling inspired, grounded, and ready to greet 2026 with clarity and confidence. Key Takeaways Reflection is a power move: You can't grow what you don't track. Maryann emphasizes checking in with your yearly goals before December 31st. Healing is ongoing, not a finish line: Your past is part of your story — not the whole story. Your message is magnetic when it's aligned: The “liberated woman movement” is attracting the right women because Maryann is speaking boldly to her true audience. Boundaries are self-care in action: They're not about others — they're about honoring your peace. Visibility creates opportunity: Stepping into your voice leads to increased impact, income, and influence. Self-nourishment is non-negotiable: You can't pour into others when you're running on empty. Divine timing > forced timing: Peace comes from releasing control. Resilience is a superpower: You are not defined by what happened to you — only by how you rise.

Send us a textI had the honor of hosting a long-time mentor and friend, Robert Larson, CPC. Bob's journey is one I've followed since the start of my first business, and he even inspired my own early yoga practice by bringing his personal interests into the workplace.The episode is less about business growth and more about personal resilience and the powerful difference between working on your business versus in it; and ultimately, working on yourself.From Bicycle Messengers to Boutique PracticeBob's career spans decades, starting when résumés were shuttled by bicycle messengers and a portable fax machine cost $4,500. He built a large, successful staffing firm. However, as the conversation reveals, he deliberately chose to downsize a few years ago.He found that running a large operation meant working on the business. Downsizing allowed him to return to the craft, the hands-on work of interviewing and placement, and find fulfillment, proving that the work is more fulfilling.The Catastrophic Gift of LifeBob's most compelling story is about the massive health crisis he faced over 20 years ago that put him on life support, reshaping his outlook on life, work, and gratitude.He discusses how his decades-long practices in silent meditation and Bikram (hot) yoga became his lifeline. When he woke up on a respirator, he used the machine's rhythm to perform Ujjayi breathing meditation. As his sister-in-law wisely noted, he "trained his entire life for these illnesses." Now, at 75, he embodies reinvention and acceptance, trading marathons for chair yoga, and viewing every physical challenge as a teaching moment.The Core Takeaway: Find Your DNALife comes with no warranties or guarantees. Bob's advice on career and contentment is simple yet revolutionary: find what is in your DNA and what you love to do, and the money will follow. His perspective on career fulfillment, the necessity of personal practice, and the struggle to stay in the present moment is a powerful reminder that awareness is the practice, and coming back to stillness is the key to clarity."If a person does what they love, the money follows because they rise to the top of what they're doing." — Robert Larson, CPCListen to the Full ConversationDon't miss Bob's incredible story of resilience and his profound advice on living an aware and grateful life.Books, Websites, and Resources MentionedWe always highlight the resources mentioned by our guests so you can follow their lead.Substack: You can follow Bob Larson's active daily blog and get a peek into his daily practice of gratitude and awarenessA Book for Letting Go: Let Them by Mel RobbinsThe Business Essential: The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E.

Welcome to a transformative practice that gently guides you toward unshakeable joy. This session beautifully weaves together the enduring strength of Stoic wisdom—the liberating truth that your inner peace is completely within your control—with the profound power of connection. We begin by setting an intention using a beautiful, grounding mudra , a silent commitment held in your hands. From this centered space, we turn our awareness toward a deeply cherished loved one. We're not seeking attachment; we're practicing the pure, vivid appreciation of their unique beauty. This focused gaze transforms simple love into a powerful, internal source of happiness and gratitude that the external world can never diminish. Step into this moment and discover how virtue, presence, and love create the most resilient happiness of all. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to "The Path to Happiness with the Stoics." Welcome to a new journey on the Daily Meditation Podcast. This week, we are walking The Path to Happiness with the Stoics. When we think of "Stoicism," we often imagine a stiff upper lip or the suppression of emotion. But the ancient Stoics—thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus—were actually in pursuit of profound joy. They didn't seek the fleeting happiness of a sugar rush or a new purchase; they sought Eudaimonia (flourishing) and Ataraxia (unshakable tranquility). This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "The Path to Happiness with the Stoics," episodes 1164-1170. Prepare to shift your perspective. Happiness is not something you chase; it is something you practice. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: "The Control Test" This week, your challenge is to apply the "Control Test" to every moment of friction or anxiety you encounter. Whenever you feel stress rising, pause immediately and ask yourself: "Is this 100% within my control?" If the answer is no, practice visualizing yourself physically dropping the weight of that outcome, redirecting your energy solely toward your own attitude and response. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Inner Joy Visualization  Day 2:  Affirmation: "I am free." Day 3:  Happiness Breath Day 4:  Lotus mudra to open your heart Day 5:  Fourth Chakra for love and compassion Day 6:  Happiness Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!
