Shoot us a Text.Episode #1113: Today we cover Amazon's push into used car sales, Rivian's legal battle to sell direct in Ohio, and Ikea's first-ever retail partnership with Best Buy. Show Notes with links:Amazon Autos now includes used and certified pre-owned vehicles. Starting in Los Angeles with Hyundai dealers, the program will soon roll out to more cities nationwide.Hyundai dealers can now list used and CPO cars, including non-Hyundai models.Vehicles come with a 3-day/300-mile return policy and a 30-day/1,000-mile warranty.Amazon promises transparent pricing, history reports, and no hidden fees.Customers can browse inventory within 75 miles and schedule test drives online.Amazon's Fan Jin: “This move continues our commitment to support local dealerships, now connecting dealers with more prospective customers online across new, certified pre-owned, and used vehicle categories.”Todd Caputo on LinkedIn: “Amazon sells purchases — not just eyeballs, phone calls, and form fills. Most dealers still make car buying way harder than it has to be. Amazon won't.”Rivian is taking Ohio to court, arguing the state's 2014 ban on direct-to-consumer sales is unconstitutional — especially since Tesla was granted a carve-out to sell under the very same law.Tesla was allowed to operate three Ohio stores under a special exemption.Rivian already runs service centers in the state but must sell cars elsewhere and deliver them in.Rivian says the law shields franchised dealers and seeks an injunction to stop enforcement of the banRivian's filing states: “It reduces competition, decreases consumer choice and drives up consumer costs and inconvenience — all of which harm consumers — with literally no countervailing benefit.”For the first time ever, Ikea is teaming up with another retailer — and the partner is Best Buy. The collaboration will bring mini Ikea showrooms into electronics stores, starting with kitchens and laundry setups.The first 10 hubs launch this fall in Florida and Texas, averaging 1,000 square feet each.Customers can shop Ikea furnishings paired with Best Buy appliances and get design consultations.Two locations will serve as Ikea order pickup centers, expanding fulfillment options.The partnership mirrors Target's Ulta and Kohl's Sephora mini-stores — aiming for “one-stop home solutions.”Ikea COO Rob Olson: “This new partnership is really allowing us to bring the Ikea experience closer to where people live.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

What happens when you follow your creativity, DM boldly, and let your anxiety fuel your innovation? Meet Krysten Kauder, founder of Candier—the empowering candle brand now sold at Ulta, Urban Outfitters, Barnes & Noble, and Target.com. In her first-ever podcast interview, Krysten shares how panic attacks led her home, alphabet bead bracelets opened unexpected doors, and how one wildly popular candle turned her business into a brand with national reach. From quiet leadership to joyful hustle, Krysten's journey proves that success doesn't need to be loud, it just needs to be real.

Lance reviews the Big News from the weekend, the trade accord between the US and the European Union, and previews the data that will drive markets this week: PCE report and a Fed meeting on tap. What will move markets? Commentary on the non-impact of Tariffs: Markets have already priced-in any change, as markets adapt. What the Fed says about QT/QE will matter. Lance shares another family drama episode, with retail therapy and a "people-cott" on Ulta make up. There is no reason to be overly bearish on markets for now; more people are calling for correction now (which means it will only be delayed further) as markets grind higher.

Mish Schneider is looking for small caps to catch up to the rest of the market, otherwise she expects SPX investors to start taking profits. She “loves the IBM story” this year and says, “it's AI's world, we're just living in it.” She's looking at the “vanity trade”, citing a “megatrend” stemming from weight loss drugs made by the likes of Eli Lilly (LLY) and benefitting Ulta Beauty (ULTA), Bumble (BMBL) and more. “You're going to see a tremendous change in what the consumer market looks like.”======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley dive into PayPal's post-pandemic reset, tracing the fintech pioneer's slide from market darling to value-story candidate. Once lifted by lockdown spending and eBay tailwinds, PayPal has seen its growth stall, its take-rate decline, and investors seem to have given up on it. In this episode, Shawn and Daniel unpack whether new CEO Alex Chriss's “profitable growth” playbook, Fastlane one-click checkout, a margin-focused Braintree overhaul, and fresh bets on Ads and the PYUSD stablecoin, can restore momentum. They also debate how realistic PayPal's ambitious goals for the future are, what a sustained 6% share shrink via buybacks does for long-term EPS, how the new management team is incentivized, and whether PayPal's consumer moat still matters in an Apple-Pay world. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN 00:00 - Intro 04:38 - How PayPal became the No.1 payment provider and what the PayPal Mafia is. 09:47 - Why investors fell out of love with PayPal's stock. 14:03 - What the next chapter under the new CEO will look like. 26:42 - Which new businesses could make PayPal dramatically more profitable? 33:31 - How the new strategy shows up in the numbers. 50:06 - Why the management incentive structure is a big benefit for shareholders. 51:36 - Whether stablecoins are bearish or bullish for PayPal. 01:01:11 - Whether PayPal is attractively valued at its current levels. 01:10:05 - Whether Shawn & Daniel add PYPL to The Intrinsic Value Portfolio.

Ozzy Osbourne has passed away, and instead of honoring the rock legend, some pro-Palestine activists used the moment to smear him. Meanwhile, liberal media is melting down over Stephen Colbert's show possibly ending — with commentators like Sunny Hostin seriously claiming it's a “threat to democracy.” Dave Portnoy is also making waves after absolutely unloading on New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, a socialist who makes TikToks with celebrities instead of meeting with serious business leaders like Kevin O'Leary. We also dive into major immigration news as ICE ramps up arrests of violent criminals, while 20 states are suing to block taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal immigrants. And yes, the trans madness continues. Ulta unveils its latest trans spokesperson, and Lily Tino's viral moments keep fueling the fire. There are rumors swirling about who Candace Owens might bring on next — and let's just say, it could be explosive. SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS TO SUPPORT OUR SHOW!

On this week's Modern Retail Podcast, senior reporters Melissa Daniels and Gabriela Barkho are joined by Lexy Lebsack, the West Coast correspondent for sister publication Glossy, and co-host of The Glossy Beauty Podcast. The team kicks things off with a look at the latest news in beauty M&A, with Ulta buying out British beauty retailer Space NK. On the topic of beauty, this week's rundown also breaks down the rise in beauty dupe lawsuits, thanks to high-profile filings by Benefit and Supergoop. Later on, Daniels continues the conversation around intellectual property with Cassey Ho, founder and designer of athleisure line Popflex Active. She's been vocal about her concerns with other companies making imitations of her designs, including a patented skort worn by Taylor Swift. They discuss how AI is making it easier for companies to mimic and sell fashion items, the pros and cons of expensive intellectual property services, why her team has an "infringement" Slack channel and the emotional roller coaster of a viral product getting duped. Listen to Lexy's episode on dupes on the Glossy Beauty Podcast

“Tariffs are still driving a fair amount of the market,” posits Benjamin Connard, but AI remains the biggest investing theme.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.The past week has been a significant one for Shakira, marked by both setbacks and milestones, underscoring her resilience and ongoing global influence. The biggest headline, reported by AOL and USA TODAY, is the cancellation of two key North American shows back in May—the Boston and Washington, D.C., dates of her highly anticipated Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour—due to logistical and production complications, notably structural issues at Fenway Park. As a result, the D.C. show, part of WorldPride DC 2025's Welcome Concert, was axed at the last minute, with Shakira expressing heartbreak on social media and promising to return as soon as possible. Despite this, the tour's North American leg continued, with a major upcoming stadium show now slated for August 4 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, a venue change and date shift from the original June scheduling, according to JamBase. The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour is notable for being her first world tour since 2018, featuring a massive production with 145 crew members, 13 costume changes, and new music created specifically for the show, reflecting her ambition to deliver a career-defining experience for fans.Beyond music, Shakira is making business moves. On Instagram, she celebrated the expansion of her hair care brand, Isima, now available at Ulta Beauty stores across America. She personally thanked Ulta and fans in a dedicated post, highlighting the brand's growth as a significant step in her entrepreneurial portfolio. This kind of direct engagement with both fans and business news is a hallmark of her personal brand, as is her continued openness about her personal life; she recently spoke to GQ about how music became a healing process for her following her high-profile split from Gerard Piqué, sharing that her perspective on love has changed but she's now focused on her children and creative endeavors.Socially, Shakira is not in the news for dramatic relationships, but for more positive, everyday moments—like being photographed drawing along New York's High Line after a tattoo session and sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of her birthday rehearsals for the Grammy's, where she's nominated for Best Latin Pop Album. Her willingness to show both polished and candid sides continues to endear her to millions.As for future touring, while there is much speculation and excitement among fans—the UK's Hospitality Centre reports rumors of a possible 2025 UK leg—there are no official announcements yet. Shakira herself posted on Instagram that after returning to South America at year's end, European and Asian dates may follow, so fans should keep an eye out for official news. In the meantime, the star's ability to juggle global tours, brand growth, and authentic fan engagement keeps her in the spotlight, even on weeks without a single scandal—just Shakira being Shakira.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a closer look at Estée Lauder's turbulent turnaround, tracing the beauty giant's fall from pandemic favorite to contrarian play. After years of strong growth, the company was hit by an inventory pileup, the collapse of China's daigou shopping channel, and a broader slowdown in its most important market. In this episode, they explore whether the “Beauty Reimagined” strategy and the arrival of new CEO Stéphane de La Faverie can reignite growth through cost savings, better channel mix, and stronger appeal to younger consumers. Daniel and Shawn debate how realistic a turnaround is, whether the risk/reward resembles Nike's recent playbook, and what needs to go right for Estée Lauder to reclaim its former strength. They also touch on wider beauty industry trends, the role of R&D as a competitive moat, internal tensions within the Lauder family, and the growing strategic weight of China for global fashion and cosmetics brands.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has commanded headlines over the past few days with a blend of compassion, business savvy, and continued global superstardom. Following the devastating floods in Kerr County, Texas, she landed in San Antonio for a sold-out concert as part of her blockbuster Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which is already lauded as the most successful of her career. Shakira took to Instagram and X to express heartfelt condolences to affected families, saying she was “devastated to hear the news of the flooding, the deaths, and the girls still missing,” and offering her prayers. What set her actions apart was her decision to donate a portion of her San Antonio concert proceeds to disaster relief funds through Catholic Charities, making headlines in Fox San Antonio and Fierce by Mitú for turning the show into “a moment of healing.”Fan accounts and music magazines, including The Heart Sounds, captured the energy outside the Alamodome as fans raved about her performance and her commitment to the community. According to Wikipedia, fundraising was not a one-off gesture—her pledge and outreach were widely praised as an example of a megastar leveraging her platform for urgent humanitarian causes.Business-wise, Shakira has been busy expanding her brand footprint. She made waves on Instagram and in entertainment news by highlighting her new haircare line, Isima, now available nationwide at Ulta Beauty locations. She personally thanked Ulta on Instagram and gushed about the product's look and scent, fueling buzz among her fanbase and beauty followers. According to Geo TV, her recent posts also reflect a spirit of gratitude and personal growth, with Shakira openly sharing reflections on healing after her widely publicized split from Gerard Piqué. She told GQ and Us Weekly that writing music has been her lifeline and that “the healing process is long,” though she's now embracing new beginnings with her sons.Tour-wise, demand continues to surge. Shakira recently announced additional dates in Mexico and the US—including new shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and in Fresno, fueled by overwhelming ticket sales—according to her official Instagram and press outlets. Anticipation is also building over speculation about a UK tour, with industry sources suggesting negotiations are underway for Shakira's first major UK return since 2018.As July unfolds, Shakira stands at the intersection of music, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship, generating headlines for both her onstage triumphs and her offstage empathy.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

They begin by exploring the ripple effects of renewed Middle East conflict and its impact on oil prices, inflation, and economic sentiment. From there, the duo tackle the Trump administration's intensifying immigration enforcement and its chilling effect on the U.S. labor force—particularly in agriculture, hospitality, and retail. Shoppers are anxious, workers are disappearing, and companies are bracing for cost spikes.The episode then zooms into earnings season, with fresh data from RH (Restoration Hardware), Inditex (Zara), and Victoria's Secret.

Steve and Michael also sound the alarm on a string of cyberattacks, including the Victoria's Secret hack and a Whole Foods supplier breach, painting a stark picture of retail's digital vulnerabilities.Then it's time for “The Analysts” segment. Sucharita Kodali explains the hype—and the misunderstanding—around Agentic AI, warning retailers of its disintermediating potential if shopping bots take hold. The panel weigh in on the future of department stores, urging traditional retailers to rethink their value proposition, especially as beauty shifts to standalone players like Sephora, Blue Mercury, and Ulta.From TikTok's uncertain future to retail media network fatigue, the lightning round keeps the insights flowing with wit and depth.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley turn their focus to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ticker: TSM) — the quiet engine powering nearly every device we touch and the global AI boom. Pioneering the pure-play foundry model, TSMC went from a government-backed experiment in the late 1980s to controlling more than 90 % of the world's leading-edge chip production, fabricating Apple's A- and M-series processors, Nvidia's AI GPUs, and virtually every 3nm part on the planet. In this episode, you'll learn how Morris Chang's radical bet rewired the semiconductor industry, why extreme scale and EUV mastery give TSMC a moat rival chipmakers can't cross, how its Arizona and Japan fabs fit into a strategy shaped by China-Taiwan tension, and how wafer volumes, node mix, and multi-billion-dollar capex translate into free-cash-flow and ROIIC. Daniel and Shawn also debate the right way to price the ever-present geopolitical “wipe-out” tail risk, and ask whether today's market price offers a margin of safety on what could be the most important company in the world.
