In the latest episode of the Remarkable Retail podcast, co-hosts Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc return with Part Two of “The Analysts," which featues three of the retail industry's most respected thought leaders—Sucharita Kodali (VP & Principal Analyst, Forrester Research), Neil Saunders (Managing Director, GlobalData Retail), and Simeon Siegel (Managing Director, BMO Capital Markets).But first, Michael and Steve unpack a news cycle packed with volatility. 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. RH defies expectations with revenue gains despite a sluggish home goods sector, while Zara and Victoria's Secret warn of tariff-related turbulence ahead. 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. The panel also lifts up up-and-coming remarkable brands like Vuori, Alo Yoga, and Eleventy as ones to watch.

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.

Think about everything that's changed in social since 2015. If you make a list, influencer marketing would be pretty high on it.  This episode's guest, Robyn Nissim, has seen the influencer marketing space grow since then. From building Ulta's first influencer program to working as the Head of Social Media at brands like Alo and Anastasia Beverly Hills, it's all about connection. Who is your influencer connecting with? Where would you like to drive them to? Who is the IT girl of the moment, and could we possibly work together? It's all about working with what you have, your budget, and optimizing from there.  And, a large part of influencer marketing is alignment. It's more than just showing a fitness influencer wearing a matching set: you have to look at the content they've already posted and if it aligns with your mission. If not, you could set yourself up for disaster.  Plus, what's the best way to build an influencer campaign? There is no right way, according to Robyn. What role does paid media have? Turns out, it can be a gamble. While it's a pay-to-play entity, it can't guarantee lifetime value or even purchases from your ICP.  If you're a marketer who wants to learn more about the inner workings of influencer marketing, this is the episode for you.  Let's face it—consumers don't trust ads, but they do trust their favorite creator, that go-to review site, or a friend's recommendation. That's where impact.com comes in. As the leading partnership management platform, impact.com helps brands turn creators, affiliates, and even loyal customers into powerful growth channels. Because in today's world, the real buyer's journey isn't a funnel—it's a group chat. Visit impact.com/millennial and take your marketing to the next level!

The details from those quarters, and what one outlet mall CEO has to say about the consumer and the broader retail space.Fast Money Disclaimer

S&P Futures are displaying strong gains this morning after a federal court struck down President Trump's tariff agenda. The Court of International Trade ruled that Trump had overstepped his authority by imposing broad, across-the-board duties and issued a permanent injunction blocking enforcement of the contested tariffs.  Trump retains legal options to try to reimpose tariffs, though these alternatives may face their own legal and political hurdles.  The Trump administration has ordered chip-design software makers to stop selling to China. On the economic front today are reports on GDP & Jobless Claims. Earnings will be a key focus today. NVDA, CRM, A, ELF, BURL & FUTU are higher after their reports. This afternoon, COST, DELL, MRVL, XS, ULTA and GAP will be reporting.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley break down Visa (ticker: V), the global payments powerhouse that acts as the invisible engine behind billions of transactions every day. Visa doesn't issue cards, lend money, or handle customer accounts — instead, it operates the network that connects banks, merchants, and consumers in over 200 countries. Whether you're tapping your card for a coffee, shopping online, or sending money abroad, there's a good chance Visa is taking a small slice behind the scenes. Visa is to the global economy what highways are to cars — an essential infrastructure layer that makes modern commerce move.

About four years ago, Glossy profiled Muneeb Shah. At the time, he was a resident who had accumulated an impressive 6 million TikTok followers. He had started posting during quarantine. Now, that number has skyrocketed to 17.9 million — plus an additional 1.1 million followers on Instagram. Recent content reveals partnerships with brands including Timeless Skin Care, No. 7 Skin Care and TirTir, to name a few. Last March, Dr. Shah debuted Remedy, his own brand, which currently offers three serums, a lip balm, a moisturizer, a dandruff shampoo, a body cream for keratosis pilaris and pimple patches. In addition, Dr. Shah serves — along with Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali — as one of Neutrogena's two Global Innovation Partners. The multi-year contract saw him co-star alongside Tate McRae in Neutrogena's recent TV commercial, which aired during the Super Bowl. In this week's Glossy Beauty Podcast episode, Sara Spruch-Feiner speaks with Dr. Shah (20:12) about his TikTok growth and the content that resonates with his following, the trials and tribulations of his first year running a brand, and the work he's doing with Neutrogena. But first, co-hosts Sara Spruch-Feiner and Lexy Lebsack chat about Ulta's consumer-facing Ulta Beauty World event in San Antonio, the retailer's partnership with Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour, and the recent layoffs at Coty and UPS.
