Podcasts about Walmart

This funny podcast episode kicks off with what should have been a simple, respectable conversation: the World Cup trophy is coming to St. Louis. Big deal, right? A global icon, millions of fans, prestige, history… and within minutes, the show derails into a full-blown argument about what the most famous trophy in the world actually is.Is it the Stanley Cup? The Lombardi Trophy? The Oscars? Or—somehow—a decorative plate from Wimbledon? The crew breaks it all down with the confidence of people who absolutely did not prepare for this conversation. There's debate, there's confusion, and there's a surprising amount of passion about dishware.But just when you think things can't get more ridiculous, we introduce a game that turns this funny podcast into full chaos: “Gay Bar or Steakhouse.” Real places. Real names. Zero context. Contestants call in and try to guess whether they're about to walk into a ribeye dinner… or something a little more fabulous.And here's the problem—these names are wildly misleading. The guesses get worse, the confidence gets higher, and Moon somehow becomes the most trusted (and most concerning) expert in the room. By the end, you'll be questioning everything you thought you knew about restaurant naming conventions.This funny podcast episode is peak Rizz Show: unpredictable, sarcastic, slightly unhinged, and packed with moments that make you laugh and immediately wonder why you're laughing. It's a daily comedy show that turns a global sports moment into a debate about plates… and then into a game that no one is truly prepared for.If you're here for a funny podcast that doesn't take itself seriously (and occasionally questions reality), you're in the right place.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.CDC Warns Drug-Resistant Shigella Infections Are Rising in the U.S.Popular anxiety Xanax drug recalled nationwide: How to check if your prescription is includedOVERLAND QUIKTRIP TURNS LOCAL LOTTO PLAYER INTO INSTANT MILLIONAIREAkron man wins lottery twice in one day for $300,250It's Tax Day.

“Stand back,” shout Silicon Valley's tech billionaires, “geniuses at work!”They refer to themselves, of course, demanding that public officials, farmers, towns, environmentalists, and all others get out of their way as they impose their massive AI data centers over rural America. “Our Big Money and Big Brains,” they exclaim, “will remake nature and produce phenomenal wealth.”Haven't we heard this before? Yes… and from these same über-rich zealots. Just a decade ago, they declared they intended to replace farmland agriculture with a techno-marvel they called “vertical farms.” Yes, instead of relying on messy, natural stuff like soil, food would henceforth be produced on sanitary plastic strays stacked to the ceilings of windowless factory warehouses controlled by computer networks. Big Tech investors like Jeff Bezos, Walmart, and Japan's SoftBank plowed hundreds of billions of dollars into their “reinvention” of agriculture.But what the geniuses actually produced was a bumper crop of bankruptcies, for the tech bros knew nothing about farming. Sure, displacing nature meant saving money to till the soil and feed the hogs, but those costs are nothing compared to the piles of capital required to pay for the ever-rising costs of corporate infrastructure, computers, utilities, executive salaries, administrative overhead… and capital itself.Worse, the clueless corporatizers were surprised to discover that consumers are not actually motivated to buy a head of lettuce just because it was “vertically farmed.” So, with exorbitant costs and zero market appeal, the tech geniuses' ag revolution fizzled.Let us all recall this as Bezos and his billionaire coterie now insist we must follow them into their Brave New World of artificial intelligence.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

//The Wire//2300Z April 15, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: ANOTHER SCHOOL SHOOTING REPORTED IN TURKEY. ATTEMPTED CHILD ABDUCTION HALTED IN NEBRASKA. MAJOR FIRE REPORTED AT AUSTRALIAN REFINERY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Turkey: Following yesterday's mass shooting at a school, another school shooting was reported in the town of Kahramanmaraş. One gunman conducted a small arms attack at Ayser Çalik Middle School this morning, which resulted in an estimated 4x fatalities and 20x others wounded.Australia: This evening a major fire was reported at the Viva Energy refinery in Geelong, Victoria. Shelter in place orders have been issued for a large portion of the city due to the smoke from the fire, and the facility burned throughout most of the day.Analyst Comment: The cause of the blaze has not yet been disclosed, however this is one of two refineries in Australia, which is now out of commission at a time when the fuel crisis is becoming a much more substantial problem.-HomeFront-Nebraska: An attempted child abduction was reported yesterday afternoon in Omaha. Local authorities responded to reports of a woman with a large kitchen knife at the Walmart on 72st Street, who had taken hostage a 3-year-old child and his guardian inside the store. Upon arriving on scene the suspect had maneuvered with the child to the parking lot, and was engaged by police, halting the attack. The suspect was killed at the scene, and the child was wounded by the attacker during the incident, but is expected to make a full recovery.Analyst Comment: The assailant has been identified as Noemi Guzman, who has a long history of similar attacks. In 2024, Guzman stabbed her own father and attempted to set him on fire, before departing the scene and breaking into a church armed with a large kitchen knife. During that incident, the Priest had to barricade himself in the Rectory while Guzman attempted to kill him. Guzman was released without bail immediately after that initial incident by Judge Russell Derr before eventually being found not guilty by reason of insanity, and subsequently released.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the Strait of Hormuz, the overall situation is confusing at best, which is largely due to the metrics and vocabulary choices used to describe what is going on. As time has gone on, this has become a major problem for understanding what is happening with global trade. For instance, the status of whether or not the Strait is open, is now a grand debate. On the one hand the White House states that the US is working to open the Strait, but on the other hand they are turning ships around who try to transit the waterway.At lower levels of governance, many American officials are stating that a few dozen ships have 'transited the Strait' since the Iranians created the new Larak Island tollbooth arrangement. However, this phrasing is misleading even though it is technically true. On any given day local traffic does transit the Strait, as it always has. Small fishing boats, dhows moving cargo from one Iranian port to another, or other smaller ships carrying cargo within the Middle East have always been allowed by the Iranians even before the ceasefire came into effect.This is how numbers get inflated (or deflated) regarding this conflict...nobody is using the same terminology and many decision-makers are talking past each other without using the same metrics. Now that the US Navy is enforcing their own blockade, another metric arrives for everyone to track, namely how many non-Iranian vessels are transiting the region, and whether or not they have cargo on board. Some empty vessels have been allowed in by the Americans, other empty vessels have been halted by either the Americans or Iranians, and some have been approved by the Iranians, only to get turned around by the Americans. A

  You know what you're supposed to do. You've known for a while. And yet here you are, on the other side of another day that didn't deliver what you intended, wondering why you keep choosing the version of yourself that never has to be tested. The uncomfortable truth is that you're not failing because you're lazy. You're failing because procrastination is solving a problem for you—the problem of having to find out who you actually are when the pressure is on. Jon Acuff joins me for a conversation that is equal parts diagnostic and liberating. Jon is one of the sharpest thinkers working in this space—a New York Times bestselling author whose new book, Procrastination Proof, makes the case that your delay is not a discipline problem. It's a fear problem. And until you understand what procrastination is actually protecting you from, no system, no strategy, and no surge of motivation will hold. We cover the lie that one breakthrough will change everything, why you keep giving advice to your past self while ignoring your future one, the pre-decision framework that removes the daily negotiation with yourself, and what it actually means to build a motivation portfolio instead of chasing a feeling. What Jon names in this conversation is something most productivity content never gets close to: the invisible cost. Every day you delay is not a neutral act. It is a vote for the version of you that never has to be exposed, refined, or tested. And that version of you has been winning long enough. This conversation will not let you stay comfortable. It will invite you to take an honest look at what you are actually protecting, who you are actually becoming, and what it would cost you to finally give yourself permission to start. Guest Bio Jon Acuff is a New York Times bestselling author of twelve books, including Soundtracks, Finish, and Procrastination Proof, which together have sold more than one million copies. Named one of Inc.'s Top 100 Leadership Speakers, he delivers keynotes to companies including Microsoft, Walmart, Comedy Central, and Chick-fil-A. He hosts the podcast All It Takes Is a Goal and lives outside Nashville with his wife and two daughters. In this conversation, Jon brings his signature combination of humor, forensic self-awareness, and hard-won practical frameworks to the question most productivity culture refuses to ask honestly: what is your procrastination actually protecting?

In this episode, Bradley Sutton sits down with Samuel Loo and Singchuen Chiam, the co-founders of Naoki Matcha, to unpack how they went from selling generic glass teapots to building one of the most recognizable matcha brands on Amazon. Their story starts in Singapore, stretches into Japan's tea-producing regions, and becomes a masterclass in patience, product-market fit, and long-term brand building. Sam and Sing did not stumble into success overnight. Their first products were fragile, generic, and easy to copy, forcing them to rethink the kind of business they really wanted to build. That search led them to matcha, a category with higher barriers to entry and far greater complexity than a typical private-label product. Instead of sourcing from a marketplace and calling it a day, they had to knock on digital doors, travel to Japan, build supplier relationships, refine taste profiles, and learn how to create a product customers would come back for again and again. Their growth was slow at first, but their commitment to quality and feedback gave them a durable edge. As the brand grew, so did its sophistication. They expanded from Amazon into other marketplaces, built teams across Singapore and Japan, invested heavily in in-house creative, and began thinking beyond Amazon PPC into upper-funnel channels like Meta, DSPs, and TikTok. They also shared how Naoki Matcha navigated the recent matcha shortage without major price hikes, using strong supplier relationships and careful supply chain planning to stay in stock while competitors struggled. It is a reminder that real brand power is not just built through ads and listings, but through trust, consistency, and operational depth. This episode is a powerful example of what can happen when founders play the long game. Sam and Sing did not chase shortcuts. They built slowly, learned deeply, and stayed obsessed with product quality as they scaled into an eight-figure business. For sellers who want to move beyond quick wins and build something that lasts, this conversation shows that the biggest advantage is not speed. It is discipline, vision, and the willingness to keep improving long after the first sale.

Summary Retirement is often framed as a personal milestone—a moment when we step away from work and into freedom. But what if retirement isn't just about leaving a job? What if it's about navigating the deep relationships, identity shifts, and responsibilities we carry with us into what comes next? In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, Andi speaks with Katherine Crewe, a Tech/Vistage chair in Canada, whose thoughtful approach to retirement reveals a powerful truth: transitions are not events—they are processes. The Myth of the Clean Exit: Leaving Work Isn't Leaving Relationships  Katherine's story challenges the idea that retirement is a simple, clean break. After decades in biomedical engineering and leadership, she moved into a role guiding CEOs and executives. Now, in her late sixties, she is not "done"—she is reflecting, recalibrating, and carefully designing her transition. What makes her journey so compelling is this: she is not just leaving a role—she is stepping away from a community. As a chair, Katherine has built deep, trusted relationships with the leaders she supports. When she began discussing retirement with them, the reactions were emotional and varied. Some encouraged her to stay. Others supported her decision. Many wanted one thing above all—a thoughtful, gradual transition. This wasn't about replacing a position. It was about preserving relationships, continuity, and trust. Retirement Is a Social Transition, Not Just a Personal One One of the most important insights from this conversation is that retirement impacts more than the individual. Katherine realized that stepping away from her role felt less like leaving a job—and more like leaving a network of meaningful human connections. The responsibility she feels is not just to herself, but to those who depend on her leadership. This is a critical lesson for organizations as well. As Andi notes, companies are facing a "senior tsunami"—a wave of experienced employees approaching retirement. Yet many organizations still treat retirement as an administrative process rather than a cultural transition. What Katherine is modeling is something different: Thoughtful succession planning Gradual transitions Honoring relationships and institutional knowledge This is where anthropology becomes powerful. It helps us see what is really happening beneath the surface. The Paradox of Choice in Retirement Unlike traditional roles, Katherine's position has no fixed retirement age. She could continue indefinitely. And that creates a new kind of challenge—the paradox of choice. If you can keep working… should you? Rather than choosing between "all or nothing," Katherine is exploring a more nuanced path: Reducing from three groups to one Staying engaged in meaningful work Creating more space for personal life and exploration This is a powerful reframe. Retirement doesn't have to be binary. It can be designed. Preparing Before You Retire Perhaps the most valuable insight Katherine offers is that she has already been preparing for retirement—without calling it that. She has: Structured her own time for years Built her identity around relationships, not titles Prioritized wellness as a daily practice Maintained independence in how she works and lives As a result, she does not fear the four common retirement pain points: Loss of identity Lack of daily structure Unclear purpose Disconnection from community Why? Because she has already built a life that isn't dependent on a job to provide those things. This is the real lesson: Retirement is not something you enter. It is something you prepare for—while you are still working. Couples, Conversations, and "Confetti Moments" Another powerful theme in this episode is how retirement impacts relationships at home. Katherine and her husband are both still active, both thinking about the future—but not always in structured ways. Instead, they have what she calls "confetti moments"—brief, scattered conversations about what retirement might look like. This is deeply relatable. Many couples don't sit down and design their future together. They talk in fragments. And yet, retirement will require alignment: How will we spend our time? Will we keep working? What does "being together" actually look like? Without intentional conversations, these differences can become points of tension. What This Means for You Katherine's journey reminds us that retirement is not an ending—it is a transition into a new stage of life that deserves as much thought and care as any career move. It is not about stopping. It is about redesigning. Key Takeaways Retirement is not a single event—it is a gradual, human transition. Leaving work often means leaving relationships, not just responsibilities. Organizations must treat retirement as a cultural and strategic issue, not just HR process. The best retirement transitions are designed, not abrupt. Preparing early—by building identity, structure, purpose, and community—makes all the difference. Couples need intentional conversations about what retirement will look like together. You don't have to stop working—you can redefine how you work.

Most institutions offer experiential learning. Few deliver it. The gap between the claim and the outcome is structural, and closing it requires more than a better course design. In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Chris Crittenden, founder of Sandbox, a for-credit startup incubator operating at eight universities, about what it actually takes to produce the depth of learning that institutions advertise but rarely achieve. Drawing on his experience founding and selling a technology company to Walmart, leading the entrepreneur center at Brigham Young University, and building Sandbox across multiple institutions, Crittenden explains how credit consolidation, real stakes, and interdisciplinary structure create the conditions for genuine learning. He also addresses how an AI-powered oral examination system solves the assessment problem that has long undermined open-ended experiential programs, and how institutions can build a program like Sandbox without triggering a substantive accreditation review. This conversation is especially relevant for presidents, provosts, and academic leaders looking to close the gap between what their experiential learning programs claim to deliver and what they actually produce. Topics Covered: •       Why most experiential learning is too shallow to produce genuine workforce capability •       How credit consolidation creates the structural conditions for deep learning •       The role of real stakes in developing professional skills that assignment deadlines cannot •       How to build an interdisciplinary program from existing approved coursework without a curriculum overhaul •       Why conventional milestone-based assessment undermines open-ended experiential learning, and what Sandbox does instead •       How to design a program that stays below the threshold for a substantive accreditation review Real-World Examples Discussed: •       18 Sandbox companies have received venture backing with a combined valuation exceeding $205 million •       Sandbox graduates who do not start companies consistently rank among the most competitive entry-level technology hires in their regional ecosystems •       The program has been replicated at eight universities by mapping to existing approved coursework, without triggering a substantive accreditation review at any institution Key Takeaway for Leadership: Universities already have the resources to build deep experiential learning programs. What is consistently absent is the leadership willing to pull them together: identifying faculty who want to work at the cutting edge, building the cross-departmental coalitions those faculty cannot form on their own, and absorbing the coordination costs personally. No new budget line required. What it takes is a leader willing to make the case, department by department, and follow through. This episode gives institutional leaders a practical model for building deep experiential learning programs within the structural and accreditation constraints most institutions already face.

Eric Sheinkop is a Chicago-based entrepreneur, author, and tech innovator known for disrupting legacy industries through expert-driven content and music technology. He is currently the Co-Founder and CEO of The Desire Company.Launched in 2018 (originally as DesireList), The Desire Company is a content-as-a-service platform that replaces traditional "influencer marketing" with "expert marketing."Mission: The company builds trust in e-commerce by providing video reviews, how-tos, and classes from vetted professionals—such as NFL trainers, celebrity stylists, and master mechanics—rather than paid social media influencers.Scale: Under his leadership, the company has raised over $25 million and provides expert content for major retailers like Target, Walmart, and Best Buy.AI Focus: In 2026, Sheinkop has been a vocal advocate for the "humanity" of expertise, arguing that while AI can generate content, real human experience is the only way to maintain consumer trust in an increasingly automated world.Before his pivot to retail tech, Sheinkop revolutionized how brands use music.Music Licensing: He co-founded Music Dealers, which became the world's largest independent music licensing platform.Coca-Cola Partnership: He famously sold a stake in the company to The Coca-Cola Company, becoming their exclusive global music partner and generating millions in royalties for independent artists.Bestselling Author: He has written two books on the intersection of music and marketing: Building Brands with Music and the Amazon #1 bestseller Return of the Hustle.

Chris Walton and Laura Kennedy break down whether these two bankrupt-adjacent brands can find a new future together by leveraging premium physical real estate.

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley shares his blueprint for scaling an e-commerce brand beyond Amazon through a strategic omnichannel approach. Drawing from over a decade of experience, Josh debunks the myth that simply adding sales channels drives growth. Instead, he outlines a phased expansion strategy: master Amazon first, then expand to marketplaces, TikTok Shop, Shopify, and retail. He emphasizes building documented systems, hiring capable teams, and approaching each platform as a unique business to avoid operational chaos and achieve sustainable, long-term growth.Links and Mentions:Tools and Websites  "Amazon": "00:01:50"  "Shopify": "00:01:50"  "TikTok Shop": "00:01:50"  "Walmart": "00:01:50"  "Etsy": "00:26:43"  "Temu": "00:26:43"  "Shein": "00:26:43"  "Meta Ad Library": "00:46:35"  "Faire": "00:49:22"  Videos and Masterclasses  "Seven Step Hiring Process": "00:23:36"  "CEO Dashboard": "00:25:44"  "How We Generated Over 50 Viral Videos with Our Affiliates": "00:34:32"  "How to Double Down on the Creators that are Actually Driving Sales for Your Brand": "00:34:32"  Recommendations  "Loom": "00:19:01"  "ChatGPT": "00:20:01"  Key Concepts  "Omnichannel Strategy": "00:07:22"  "CAC to LTV Ratio": "00:09:20"  "Product Launch Checklist": "00:19:01"  "Weekly Ad Optimization Processes": "00:19:01"  "Inventory Forecasting Models": "00:19:01"Timestamps:00:00:00 Introduction & The Omnichannel MythJosh introduces himself, the podcast, and debunks the myth that simply adding channels guarantees growth.00:01:50 Stages of E-commerce Brand GrowthOutlines the four stages: launch on Amazon, expansion optimism, hidden complexity, and the breaking point.00:06:30 The Real Problem: Sequence, Not ProductExplains that chaos comes from scaling too soon without systems, not from product quality.00:07:22 Channel-Specific ComplexitiesBreaks down the unique operational demands ...

Is the “medical tourism” hype real? This week, we're chatting with Los Angeles-based aesthetic expert and host of “Mirror, Mirror” podcast, Amy Chang. Amy is pulling back the curtain on the 2026 K-beauty boom, from Seoul's high-tech clinics to the “Botox disaster” that changed her face — and her philosophy on injectables today.Listen in as we dive into the science of exosome serums, the reality of Rejuran (the “salmon sperm facial” treatment everyone is talking about), and why everyone is obsessed with “liquid” microneedling. Plus, Amy shares the internal health shift that finally cleared her brain fog, and restored Carlene's skin's glow, too.In this episode, we cover:As published in the Los Angeles Times, Amy's take on why more than one million travellers headed to Korea last year for Rejuran, silk peptide threads and non-surgical facelifts.The top top 3 K-Beauty-informed treatments, products and habits contributing to Amy's glass skin of late.The one thing that Amy's mental clarity and Carlene's glowing skin have in common.Everything you need to know about the TikTok-viral VT Reedle Shot: the “spicule” technology driving the Korean glass skin trend.A cautionary tale: Why the self-proclaimed “treatment guinea pig” blames neuromodulators for causing her “collapsed” lower face, and how she approaches injectables now.

If the role of a CMO is to make a brand interesting, why does so much marketing today feel anything but?This week Jim sits down with Nick Law, Creative Strategy & Experience Lead of Accenture Song, the $20 billion creative services division of Accenture, to explore what's gone wrong in modern marketing, and what leaders need to do to fix it. In 2019, Accenture Song (then called Accenture Interactive) purchased the highly awarded and fast-growing creative agency droga 5.

Welcome back to another Wednesday drop of Damn We Grown! Grab a drink and settle in, because Mike and Tiff are bringing that pure 90s nostalgia, old-school R&B vibes, and some real grown-folks conversation.This week, we're recapping an Easter weekend that went from peaceful Sunday brunches to a full-on Lord of the Rings battlefield during the family egg hunt. Note to self: when the kids get older, putting cold hard cash in plastic eggs turns them into absolute savages. We're officially petitioning for an adults-only, high-stakes egg hunt with some top-shelf liquor and real money on the line for next year.Then, we get into the heavy hitters. Walmart just announced they're automating 65% of their stores by 2026. What happens to the jobs? Are we all just going to be fighting robots for the last bag of Doritos? We talk about the reality of the automation takeover and why we need to be pushing the next generation into coding and robotics if we want them to stay ahead of the curve.We also tackle Utah's bold new law banning kids under 18 from using social media without parental consent. It sparks a real talk about mental health, the dopamine chase, and the wild wild west of the internet. But you know we couldn't stay serious for too long—that conversation takes a sharp, spicy left into the shady world of age-gap dating. Why are these grown men out here waiting around like vultures for girls to turn 18? We're calling it out.We cap the episode off with our Vibe of the Week: "Garage Rooftop" by Q.Connect with us:Got a story, a question, or just want to tell Mike his basketball game needs some serious work?Email: damnwegrown@gmail.comWeb: https://www.google.com/search?q=damnwegrown.comTikTok & IG: @teatodd2 (Tiff) & @Maybenicemike (Mike)Don't forget to leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

This week on The Remarkable Retail Podcast, Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc break down the forces reshaping retail before sitting down live at Shoptalk in Las Vegas with Matt Baer, CEO of Stitch Fix. The episode opens with a wide-ranging look at the macro pressures bearing down on the industry—geopolitical conflict, rising tariffs, and supply chain strain. Earnings from Nike and RH reveal a consistent theme: even iconic brands can stumble when positioning and innovation lag behind a volatile consumer environment. In grocery, the "collapse of the unremarkable middle" continues as Walmart, Amazon, Aldi, and premium players squeeze traditional operators like Albertsons. A wave of M&A activity—including Allbirds' dramatic valuation collapse, Bed Bath & Beyond's improbable resurrection, and its acquisition of The Container Store—underscores just how much disruption is still unfolding. The hosts also push back on the hype around AI tools like Macy's shopping assistant, cautioning against confusing correlation with causation. At the center of the episode is a compelling conversation with Matt Baer, who outlines how Stitch Fix is executing a disciplined turnaround built on three phases: establishing a strong operational foundation, reimagining the customer experience, and returning to sustainable growth. Four consecutive quarters of improving revenue trends suggest the strategy is working. Baer's core argument is that true personalization isn't about volume or targeting—it's about relevance, timing, and understanding customers at a granular level. Stitch Fix achieves this by pairing deep data and AI-driven recommendations with human stylists who bring judgment, empathy, and relationship-building to a category that remains inherently emotional. New tools like AI styling assistants and digital visualization are enhancing that human element, not replacing it. The episode closes with forward-looking perspective on retail crime, supply chain vulnerability, and macroeconomic uncertainty—and a clear throughline: in an increasingly chaotic landscape, agility and strategic clarity aren't optional.
