So many women's clothing companies are all about fast fashion: trendy products that are made to sell, but not to last. Today, we're talking to the founder of an apparel company that's focused on making quality clothes that feel good to wear, and live in your closet long-term. Ramy Brook Sharp is the Founder, Co-CEO and Creative Director of the women's clothing brand, Ramy Brook. In 2010, Ramy set out to create the perfect timeless top to complement her jeans and jewelry. Unable to find what she wanted, she designed it herself, and within six months, her pieces were picked up by Bergdorf Goodman. Ramy Brook is now available in over 250 boutiques, at major retailers like Saks, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale's, and the company has a flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York City. Today, Ramy walks us through the incredible origins of the brand, how she's had to adapt the business to meet the demands of major retailers and social media platforms, and what we can expect to see from Ramy Brook in the coming years. Highlights:From Advertising to Fashion (2:25)The $1,000 Top That Started It All (4:00)Getting Into Bergdorf and Learning Fast (6:50)Sexy, Sophisticated, Timeless (11:00)Building a Multi-Generational Brand (12:55)From Tops to Head-to-Toe (14:10)Marketing in a Crowded Space (16:10)E-Commerce and the Omnichannel Mix (18:00)Leading People Through Change (21:10)What's Next for Ramy Brook (25:25)Links:Ramy Brook Sharp LinkedInRamy Brook LinkedInRamy Brook WebsiteICR LinkedInICR TwitterICR Website Feedback:If you have questions about the show, or have a topic in mind you'd like discussed in future episodes, email our producer, joe@lowerstreet.co

I sat down with Thomas Smith, founder of skinatwork.com. Here are 3 takeaways. 1. Simple is a strategy. Nearly 70% of Thomas's customers buy a full kit on the first visit. Simplicity is doing the hard work so your customer doesn't have to. 2. Know your numbers. Acquisition cost. Lifetime value. Repeat rate. Chase one metric and wonder why you're losing. 3. Build for a need, not a moment. Thomas launched during the pandemic , when everyone said don't. He did it anyway because the customer pain was real. That's the only reason that matters.   --- In Thomas Smith's words: I've been in skincare for 30 amazing years working for some of the most exciting brands and retailers in beauty: on the sales floor, in the spa, as a buyer, developer, marketer, entrepreneur and lover of all things skin. I spent a decade in NYC at Saks and Sephora, a decade in Colorado creating formulas for dry, sensitive skin at my own stores called MELT and a decade in LA marketing or developing products for Murad, Meaningful Beauty and Anastasia Beverly Hills, to name a few. My mom loves to tell people that I started as a cosmetics stock boy in Saks Denver, I prefer to say that I didn't choose skincare, it chose me. Over the years, I have watched as skincare has gotten increasingly complicated. So many steps, so many new products and so much time, money, brain space and energy spent trying to decode it all. Trust me, the amount of choice overwhelms me, too! Whenever I visit family or friends, they always ask for my advice on what to buy, when to use, how to use and in what combinations and it got me to thinking… how could I create the simplest, and I mean THE SIMPLEST, most efficacious skincare system possible for my mom, my sister, all of my peeps (including myself!) for skin of all ages, stages and concerns? That's how SKIN AT WORK was born. SKIN AT WORK is an obsessively streamlined, ultra concentrated, ALL-IN-ONE-STEP skincare system of clinically tested, gently powerful, hyper-tasking hero formulas that give your skin everything it needs (over 14 ingredients at efficacious levels) to thrive at its healthiest, deliver head-turning wow and the freedom to spend less time doing steps in the mirror and more time squeezing the juice out of life."

In this episode, I sat down with Busayo Olupona, founder and creative director of Busayo, the Brooklyn- and Lagos-based fashion brand known for its bold prints and textiles created with artisans in Nigeria. Busayo shares how she went from corporate finance law to bringing handmade pieces home in suitcases, selling them at scrappy pop-ups, and eventually landing in major retailers including Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, Shopbop, and Moda Operandi.But this conversation goes much deeper than fashion. Busayo opens up about returning to a 9-to-5 after years of entrepreneurship, the shame and fear she had to unlearn, and the two serious cardiac events that forced her to confront the cost of constant striving. We talk about what it takes to build a business without losing yourself, why preparation matters before opportunity arrives, and how faith, meditation, and surrender changed the way she leads.In This Episode, You Will LearnWhy learning a new industry while you still have a paycheck can protect both your savings and your confidenceHow to view returning to a job as reinvesting in your business, not failing at entrepreneurshipWhy Busayo had to separate her worth from her corporate title and other people's opinionsHow years of creating collections before buyers said yes prepared her for the Saks opportunityWhat two serious cardiac events taught her about sleep, stress, self-care, and sustainable ambitionHow wholesale relationships can drive recurring revenue, brand discovery, and direct-to-consumer salesWhy Busayo believes faith, meditation, and surrender are practical tools for entrepreneurshipHighlights Include03:04 - Moving from Nigeria to the United States at age 11 and learning to reject parts of herself to fit in16:44 - How annual trips to Nigeria planted the seed for the Busayo brand19:37 - The first pop-up that pushed her to stop hiding her designs24:05 - Leaving Cleary Gottlieb and unlearning the belief that she was not enough29:16 - Attending her first trade show and returning with only two orders31:36 - Meeting mentor Mercedes Gonzalez and learning how wholesale really works32:36 - Going back to a legal job after burning through her savings34:49 - Returning to the same office building and confronting the shame tied to her old title36:19 - The first cardiac emergency that showed her she was pushing too hard39:49 - Experiencing a second cardiac event and making sleep and self-care non-negotiable47:59 - Why she now sees building a business as a spiritual endeavor55:49 - How years of preparation helped her seize the opportunity that led to Saks1:00:08 - Navigating strong years, lean years, and the impact of the Saks bankruptcy1:06:17 - Why wholesale remains an important revenue and discovery channel1:14:48 - Identifying your fear pockets before leaving a steady paycheckLinks and Resources MentionedShop BusayoThe Fashion Designer Survival Guide by Mary GehlharRAISEfashionThe Untethered Soul by Michael A.

Ukrainale on eluliselt tähtis suurendada oma õhutõrjevõimekust, aga USA on teatanud, et tõenäoliselt enne talve lepingut Patriot süsteemide rakettide tootmiseks ei sõlmita. Kas sellise lepingu saamine on üldse tõenäoline, sellest räägime Postimehe «Sõjastuudios» julgeolekuekspert Rainer Saksaga. Saatejuht on Ulla Länts.

There's a common assumption in retail right now that the top of the market is the only thing growing. Neil Saunders, Managing Director of GlobalData Retail and one of the industry's most-followed analysts, doesn't buy it. "Every broad income group has contributed to the increase in retail sales," Saunders tells Ken. The K-shaped economy is real, he argues, but it's hiding in the volume numbers, not the dollars. It's one of many contrarian reads he brings to this wide-ranging conversation on the state of retail in 2026, from tariffs and consumer resilience, to why Lululemon's stores now feel "sterile," and which retail names he'd put his own money behind today.In this episode of The Retail Pilot, Ken sits down with Neil Saunders, Managing Director and Retail Analyst at GlobalData, to unpack the biggest stories shaping retail in the back half of 2026: the tariff pass-through math (roughly 40–45% to consumers), the K-shaped consumer decoded, the denim wars between Levi's, Gap, and Abercrombie, the athleisure shift away from Lululemon toward Vuori and Alo, the department store resurgence under merchant-led leaders at Macy's and Saks, Walmart's move on the $100K+ household, and where AI is actually delivering results.In this episode you'll learn:The tariff pass-through math: ~40–45% of costs pushed to consumers, the rest absorbed through sourcing shifts and marginThe K-shaped consumer, decoded: why the real divergence is hiding in volume, not valueWhy the first half of 2026 was propped up by tax refunds and what that means for the back halfHow Gap's "cultural currency" strategy under Richard Dickson is pulling younger customers backThe athleisure shift: why Lululemon is losing ground to Vuori, Alo, and Abercrombie's YPBWhy department stores aren't going extinct and why Tony Spring at Macy's is Neil's pick for best retail CEOWalmart's move on the $100K+ household and why they still behave like a small entrepreneurial retailerThe global fast fashion breakdown: why Uniqlo is winning, Zara is mature, and H&M feels like "yesterday's retailer"This episode is for you if: you're a retail operator trying to read the macro signal from the noise, a brand leader benchmarking your category's competitive landscape, an investor tracking public retail names into the back half of 2026, a marketer thinking about cultural currency and celebrity partnerships, or anyone who wants a candid analyst read on who's actually winning in retail right now.Don't forget to subscribe to The Retail Pilot podcast for more conversations with retail industry leaders and visionaries shaping the future of commerce.If you missed our last episode, where CEO of Vuori, Joe Kudla unpacks how a former CPA and fashion model turned a men's yoga apparel gap into one of the most admired brands in performance wear, be sure to tune in.Connect with Ken:-Follow Ken Pilot Ventures on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. Hosted on Ausha.

Eric Buterbaugh has the best stories of anyone I know. This week on Everything Is The Best, we sit down with the man they call the King of Roses, LA's florist to the stars turned founder of EB Florals, and honestly I could have listened to him for five more hours.He's worked for Gianni Versace, he's done the flowers for Madonna's Oscar parties and Demi Moore's dinners, and at one point in this conversation he tells the story of eating fried chicken on the floor with Elizabeth Taylor, which is exactly the kind of unhinged glamour I live for. We get into what it actually takes to build a life around beauty, the emotional labor of working the most intimate days in people's lives (he's basically a therapist with shears), and how decades of floral obsession turned into a perfume line that made Saks and Bergdorf Goodman pay attention.Eric is fucking fabulous. Funny, unfiltered, zero interest in being precious about any of it. I love him, and I think you will too.Produced by Dear Media.

We had the honor and fun of talking with Alexis Gabler '24, whose connection to Cornell began long before she ever arrived in Ithaca. After her father, Cornell alumnus Fred Gabler, was killed on September 11th, his closest friends—including our Vino—made an extraordinary commitment to be a loving part of her life and to help secure her future.Years later, Alexis graduated from Cornell Human Ecology and built a career in fashion, transforming a remarkable gift into something entirely her own.Alexis shares her unique relationship with the friends who helped keep her father's memory alive, an incredible mom, her journey from New York City artist to fashion professional, her experiences navigating Cornell during the COVID years, and the internships and opportunities that led her from Sense-ational You and Saks to her current role at Theory.This is a conversation about resilience, community, gratitude, and what can happen when people invest in someone's future—and she builds something extraordinary with it.Connect with Alexis:LinkedIn: Alexis GablerVino's episode: 242Julia Deney of Sense-ational You's episode: 142Not sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University

Elyce shares the untold story of building Kate Spade from the ground up with her best friend, Kate Spade—from sketching handbags out of construction paper and maxing out credit cards to landing Barneys, Saks, and becoming a cultural phenomenon. We also discuss her upbringing on a Kansas farm, the lessons she learned from her entrepreneurial mother, and how she and her team built Frances Valentine after selling Kate Spade.

TikTok Shop moved $4.4 billion in beauty and wellness. Saks wants $9 billion by 2030. Castle claimed $1.4 billion and was worth $16 million. This week is about which numbers actually hold up.Three companies put big figures on the table. Only one of them earned it, and even that one comes with an asterisk. Rick Watson and Nick Kaplan have a thought provoking conversation on these 3 stories. TikTok Shop: reach without trustRoughly $4.4 billion in wellness and beauty sold since the 2023 launchBrand executives call it a "mafia" because of the traffic it forces through them. The honest scorecard is the halo it throws onto Amazon and Ulta, not the checkouts happening inside the appAwareness is the strength. The weakness is trust: missing shipping confirmations, sellers you can't place, a buying experience that still feels provisionalThe Watson Weekly Weekend edition is sponsored by Avalara.

Learn more at avalara.watsonweekly.comSaks Global: out of bankruptcy, into a targetA Texas court approved the Chapter 11 exit plan. Debt cut 75% to about $1.2 billion$500 million in fresh financing, paired with a mandate to reach $9 billion in GMV by 2030The model that got Saks here is still intact: leveraged, low-margin, carrying expensive real estate. And the vendors who went unpaid earlier this year are not feeling generousCaaStle (Gwynnie Bee): a $1.4 billion fictionThe rental subscription business once known as Gwynnie Bee was sold as a $1.4 billion company. The real number was around $16 millionFounder Christine Hunsicker admitted to securities fraud in MarchThe part that should worry everyone: professional investors and auditors missed invented financials. One investor was reportedly paid off to stay quiet, and audit documents from a recognizable firm were falsifiedWhat ties these together is how cheap a number is to produce and how hard the thing underneath it is to fake. TikTok has the reach but hasn't built the trust. Saks has the target but not yet the model to hit it. CaaStle had neither and sold the story anyway. The question worth sitting with: how many of the valuations you read this week are closer to Saks, and how many are closer to CaaStle?

Sneakers used to be one of two things: performance or fashion. Somewhere in the last decade, that line collapsed — and the shoes most of us are reaching for now sit firmly in the middle.I'm joined by Adam and Ryan Goldston, founders of APL and the first members of an athletic company ever inducted into the CFDA, for a conversation on how they ushered in the era of the fashion sneaker. From getting banned by the NBA for their first shoe to landing in Selfridges, Net-a-Porter, and Saks before anyone else was selling performance product in those rooms, Adam and Ryan share how a clear point of view — and a refusal to use logos — built one of the most distinctive sneaker brands in the world.We get into world-building beyond product, why they believe taste is their real superpower and the consumer shift toward quieter, design-led pieces.Shop APL https://www.athleticpropulsionlabs.com/In this episode, we get into:What actually set the stage for the era of the fashion sneakerWhy being inducted into the CFDA in 2016 was a turning point for the entire sneaker industryThe decision to launch in Selfridges, Net-a-Porter, and Saks before anyone else was selling performance in luxury roomsWhy APL refuses to use big, emblazoned logos — and how that built a stronger brandThe rise of the personal brand and why consumers don't want to be walking advertisements anymoreWhat "simple, yet severe" actually means as a design philosophyInside the APL flagship at The Grove and why it feels more like a gallery than a storeWhy building a brand world still requires a physical experience in an increasingly digital ageRalph Lauren as the singular blueprint for world-building — and the moment they found out Ralph himself is an APL fanWhy Adam and Ryan consider taste their real superpower (and how to cultivate it)The relationship between taste, bravery, and confidenceThe Tokyo trip and the souffle pancakes that inspired the ZipLine midsoleWhy texture — both tactile and visual — is the most important element of a perfect sneakerThe rise of the luxury basic and why consumers are investing in staples right nowHow the F1 partnership in 2016 shaped APL's global luxury performance positioningThank you to my partners at Macy's for my newest wardrobe essentials.

Rick Watson runs through a busy week in retail. Walmart posted a $177.8 billion quarter, with revenue up 7.3%, U.S. comps up 4.1%, and global e-commerce up 26%, yet free cash flow landed at negative $1.9B as automation capex climbed. Advertising grew 37%, marketplace sales jumped close to 50%, and new shoppers skewed upper-income. At Sam's Club, more trips but smaller baskets.Authentic Brands Group named a new CEO: founder Jamie Salter moved to executive chairman, and former MGM Resorts chief Matt Maddox took over. ABG holds 50-plus brands, $38B in system-wide sales, and 77% of the company behind Saks, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman. Salter floated an IPO within the year.At Google I/O 2026, the Universal Cart follows shoppers across Search, Gemini, YouTube, and Gmail, AI Mode crossed a billion monthly users, and native checkout opened to UCP merchants. Kroger hit $16B in e-commerce with a first profit in sight, wages past $20, two senior exits, and 70 to 80 stores planned. Plus an Investor Minute on Global-e, Insider, and Brown-Forman.This week's episode is sponsored by Avalara.

The recent annual convention of TRADITON's publisher, the Rabbinical Council of America, was a wonderful opportunity to showcase the work of our journal of Orthodox Jewish Thought. Our editor Jeffrey Saks had a chance to conduct a session with Itamar Rosensweig, whose “Reconceiving Conceptualism” opens our recently released Spring 2026 issue. The essay is an argument for method in Torah study as part of the pursuit of knowledge. Rosensweig asks if and why the so-called conceptual method (a.k.a. Lomdus) is typically favored in our own learning and teaching because it's somehow more “authentic” and “true”? Saks inquired what Rosensweig set out to do in the essay and touched on pedagogical and practical suggestions for ways to more effectively implement Lomdus and utilize its tools in our shuls and schools. This was of particular relevance to the rabbis and educators in attendance, many of whom raised questions and offered gentle pushback throughout the discussion. In fact, the essay has already generated a healthy amount of response and we hope to be publishing some of that in the near future. Watch a video of this discussion on YouTube. Rabbi Dr. Itamar Rosensweig is a Rosh Yeshiva and associate professor of philosophy at Yeshiva University, a dayyan at the Beth Din of America, and rabbi of the Merion Shtiebel. The conversation was recorded by TorahAnytime at the RCA Convention in Suffern, NY, on May 11, 2026. The post Reconceiving Conceptualism appeared first on Tradition Online.

Michelle Morgan Harrison's creative trajectory began not in design studios, but in the fast-paced world of 1990s print fashion journalism. An intersectional internship between her junior and senior years of college at Elle magazine introduced her to legendary industry giants like Marion McEvoy and Rona Berg. After completing her degree in magazine journalism at Syracuse University, she transitioned into a full-time career in the fashion capitol ecosystem.Her early professional years were defined by old-school curation, starting as the wardrobe manager for Mirabella magazine under the iconic Grace Mirabella. Working in the fashion closets handling couture dresses and traveling across Europe to cover runway shows alongside visionary creative directors, Michelle developed a keen instinct for predicting cultural shifts. During the height of the mid-90s "British Invasion," she was running up five flights of stairs in London to help spot and support emerging talents like Alexander McQueen.The transition into interior architecture happened organically as Michelle rose to become the fashion director at Mirabella, where she began managing holistic home and lifestyle photo shoots. After a brief stint directing corporate editorial work for Saks, her passion for historical home restoration took center stage. Shortly after relocating to Connecticut and giving birth to her second child, neighbors began knocking on her door to ask about her exterior paint colors and light fixtures—a sign that inspired her to officially launch her own design firm Morgan Harrison Home in 2006.

hearing on approval of sealed proposed settlement agreement between Saks and its largest landlord Simon Property Group to resolve litigation

emergency motion

Three stories on the table this week, and none of them small.Saks Global plans to exit Chapter 11 on June 22nd carrying $1.2 billion in debt, with a reorganization plan targeting $9 billion in GMV by fiscal 2030. That's nearly double where they sit today. Rick Watson and Jessica Lesesky walk through the vendor mess (720 brands stopped shipping at the worst of it), the repair work underway, and why exiting bankruptcy this leveraged sets up another round of trouble down the road.The Watson Weekly Weekend edition is sponsored by Avalara - the agentic AI platform automating global tax and compliance for leading eCommerce brands. For more details: https://avalaratax.watsonweekly.comOver at Victoria's Secret, Australian investor Brett Blundy's BBRC Worldwide has built a roughly 13% stake and is pushing to remove two directors: chair Donna James and Miriam Naficy. The complaint is acquisitions like Adore Me. CEO Hillary Super is running a "path to potential" plan built around body positivity and a return to the Angels heritage. Fiscal 2025 sales are up 5%. The question is whether that's enough to keep the activist quiet.Then earnings. Alphabet did $109B in Q1, with Google Cloud growing 63% YoY to a $20B run rate and a $462B backlog. Amazon hit $181B, AWS grew 28% to $37.5B, and the chip business crossed a $20B run rate of its own. Shopify cleared $100B in quarterly GMV for the first time, with operating income up 88% on the back of all the layoffs and restructuring.The thread underneath all of it: AI compute is getting more expensive, not less. The pricing power is sitting with the infrastructure layer. Amazon, Nvidia, and the LLM owners are collecting the rent. The businesses adopting AI are paying it.

This is a peculiar hearing. Based on the explanation to the court on the record, this brief hearing was on approval of the revised disclosure statement submitted to the court for review within hours of the court hearing, with further party input and more changes anticipated. This is towards approval of the disclosure statement so Saks et al can solicit votes in support of a bankruptcy plan. I'm in the corporate restructuring space and found the presentation incomprehensible for the most part. I don't understand why people who didn't receive notice can be considered to have had a chance to review this disclosure statement and react to it in time to come forward to the bankruptcy court.

What does it actually take to lead 70,000 people through one of the biggest cultural resets in beauty history?Michael Bowes, Chief People Officer of The Estée Lauder Companies, joins Jessica Neal on Truth Works for a candid conversation about stepping into the top HR seat at an iconic 80-year-old company in the middle of a billion-dollar restructure, the courage it takes to disagree with your CEO without breaking the partnership, and why the loneliness of the role is real but the work is worth it.Michael walks through his path from Saks Fifth Avenue in the early 90s, to Nike, to Tommy Hilfiger, to Coach and Tapestry, and a brief detour into executive search before joining Estée Lauder in 2015. He spent almost ten years in talent before being promoted into the Chief People Officer role. He is honest about the fact he was not chasing the title. He took it because he believed in the new CEO Stefan's vision for the next 80 years of the company.Then the conversation gets into what is actually changing inside Estée Lauder under the new Beauty Reimagined strategy. A culture that used to default to no is now committing to say yes. Over 1,000 different bonus calculations across business units have been consolidated into nine. Brands that used to operate in silos are now rowing in the same direction with one shared set of goals.Michael also opens up about the realities of the CPO seat that no one prepares you for. The loneliness. The board dynamics. The added complexity of working inside a family-majority-shareholder company. The fact that everyone thinks they can do your HR job until you actually have to do something hard. And the running joke that the only people who tell you they would never want your job are the ones who just watched you do it.The episode closes with how Estée Lauder is approaching AI as a tool rather than a threat, including how the company is mining 80 years of prestige beauty consumer data in ways no competitor can match. Plus the rise of K-beauty, why Dr. Jart sits inside the portfolio, the China R&D centre that is reversing the old east-to-west flow of trends, and the philosophy that has guided how Michael hires for the last decade: hire the player, not the playbook.Topics Covered:How The Estée Lauder Companies scaled from a kitchen in Queens to a global prestige beauty portfolioWhy 87% of the workforce is women and how that shapes consumer decisionsTravel retail as a multi-billion dollar growth channelMichael's career path from Saks to Nike to Tommy Hilfiger to Coach to Estée LauderBeing part of the CEO succession conversation before being promoted himselfTaking the Chief People Officer role in the middle of a global billion-dollar restructureThe Beauty Reimagined strategy and its five pillarsShifting the culture from "protect by saying no" to "we say yes"Consolidating 1,000+ bonus calculations into nine business unitsThe loneliness of the CPO seat and why CEO chemistry is non-negotiableHow to disagree with your CEO and still own the decision publiclyNavigating board dynamics and family-majority shareholdersAI as a tool, not a threat, and how Estée Lauder is embedding it across R&D and consumer insight80 years of prestige beauty data and what AI can unlock from itThe K-beauty wave, Dr. Jart, The Ordinary, and the China R&D centreThe biggest hiring mistake organisations make by defaultWhy the right hire is the player, not the playbookThe piece of advice from Michael's grandmother that he still lives byTruth Works is hosted by Jessica Neal, former Chief Talent Officer at Netflix.

The podcast skips a couple of hearings held in the Saks bankruptcy proceedings earlier in April. The 4/24/2026 hearing is a helpful one to review because it includes an update on the restructuring support agreement and also an update on the anticipated timing of the chapter 11 disclosure statement. Additionally the hearing includes a summary of the proposed chapter 11 exit financing, with the business justification for the terms. At the conclusion of the hearing, the bankruptcy court approved the proposed exit financing, and the court noted another hearing is on for next Friday.

This week Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc bring listeners a high-energy live episode from Shoptalk Las Vegas — Part 1 of the inaugural Retail Rumble. The episode opens with the week's most important retail news. Levi Strauss delivers strong revenue growth driven by its expanding direct-to-consumer business, underscoring how its pivot away from wholesale dependency is unlocking margin and brand control — an increasingly critical playbook in modern retail. The department store sector remains under pressure. Saks Global's bankruptcy exit signals stabilization, but also highlights the structural challenges facing legacy luxury retail. With store closures, ownership restructuring, and vendor confidence still rebuilding, the hosts examine whether Saks can regain lost ground as Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom move to capitalize on the disruption. Additional analysis covers early warning signs in mall traffic, with Placer.ai data pointing to a potential slowdown, and Wayfair's continued push into physical retail despite broader category softness — raising pointed questions about the evolving role of stores in an omnichannel world. The second half shifts to the Retail Rumble stage, where industry heavyweights debate two of retail's most pressing questions. Michael LeBlanc and Anne Mezzinga, founding CEO of Retail Field Report, referee the action. Round one: Is eCommerce entering a new phase of accelerated growth? Neil Saunders argues that demographic shifts, infrastructure investment, and AI-driven discovery will fuel acceleration. R.J. Hottovy counters with the realities of market saturation, the enduring importance of physical retail, and the law of large numbers limiting growth upside. Round two: Does retail media improve the shopper journey? Kiri Masters argues that retail media enhances relevance and subsidizes pricing through high-margin revenue streams. Rachel Tipograph challenges the model as increasingly pay-to-play — one that risks distorting product discovery and eroding the customer experience it claims to enhance.

Then they discuss Saks filing for bankruptcy, Bahama Breeze closing stores, Wendy’s closing restaurants, a woman arrested for calling 911 to get a ride home, a woman threatens to blow up the school over daughter’s boyfriend’s lunch, and a son threatens mom with a rifle and a sword ratchetness.
