Podcasts about Walmart

It's that time of year again: Brand Federation's Naughty & Nice list is out, and Matt Williams is here to break it down. Matt is President of Brand Federation and former CEO of The Martin Agency, where he led campaigns for GEICO, OREO, UPS, and Walmart. He's also a visiting professor at William & Mary, sharing decades of brand strategy know-how. On this episode, Matt reveals which brands earned “Nice,” which landed on “Naughty,” and what leaders can learn from both. What You'll Learn How brands end up on the Naughty list by ignoring customer context and cultural signals. How Delta, Starbucks, and others earned their spot on the Nice list through clarity, consistency, and smart leadership. Why edgy brand moves succeed or fail depending on strategy and self-awareness. How crisis response can turn a disaster into a win with creativity and cultural savvy. What Apple's place on the watch list says about innovation, risk, and the future of tech brands. Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (00:52) Matt returns to the show (01:21) Why American Eagle's “Great Jeans” campaign backfired (03:52) Cracker Barrel's tone-deaf rebrand misstep (06:48) Target's DEI reversal and the cost of misunderstanding your customer (09:20) Southwest walks away from its differentiators (11:52) Meta's AI avatars go sideways (12:44) Delta earns a place on the Nice list (13:55) Starbucks returns to the core (16:55) How Astronomer turned crisis into comedy (21:15) Duolingo kills the owl (and nails it) (24:40) Navigating edgy vs. effective brand moves (24:51) Apple lands on the watch list (27:40) The brand that made Matt smile (29:17) Where to learn more about Brand Federation (30:08) Closing Matt Williams is the President of Brand Federation, a brand and marketing consultancy that helps organizations like Harvard, MIT, and Mercy Corps transform their brand strategy for growth and impact. Before that, he spent 26 years at The Martin Agency, rising through strategic planning roles to become CEO. During his tenure, he led strategy and campaigns for GEICO, OREO, UPS, Discover Financial, Benjamin Moore, and Walmart, while guiding the agency to national creative and effectiveness recognition. Matt also teaches as a Visiting Clinical Professor at William & Mary, where he brings decades of brand strategy expertise to future marketers. Matt lights up when talking about Duolingo, specifically the irreverent, persistent, slightly unhinged owl. The way Duolingo leans hard into its mascot's attitude — using humor, edge, and cultural relevance — reflects a brand that truly understands both itself and its audience. The owl's personality, storytelling, and strategic mischief never fail to make Matt smile. Connect with Matt on LinkedIn.

Travis brings producer Eric into the virtual studio for a late‑night, high‑energy reaction episode on how money, status, and expectations collide in modern relationships. Using viral clips about insane car payments, a rejected Walmart engagement ring, and a boyfriend insisting on separate finances and a prenup, they break down what these decisions reveal about values, red flags, and long‑term wealth building. On this episode we talk about: Why multi‑thousand‑dollar car payments are almost always a wealth killer, not a “flex” The viral story of a woman rejecting an $898 Walmart engagement ring and what it says about priorities How the wedding industry exploits “once in a lifetime” emotions and traps couples in years of debt When prenups make sense, what they actually do (vs. the myths), and why they're different from keeping money separate Why shared financial values and a common mission matter more than ring size, wedding cost, or follower count Top 3 Takeaways Massive payments on depreciating assets like cars are usually a sign of poor financial priorities; if you want to build wealth, avoid over‑leveraging on status items. Engagement rings and weddings are symbols, not investments—if they're forcing you into debt or exposing deep value misalignment, that's a relationship red flag, not “romance.” A prenup can be smart planning, but separate finances inside a marriage often signal that you're not truly on the same team; long‑term success requires a shared mission and transparent money conversations. Notable Quotes “If you want to build wealth, don't get a $3,700 car payment—that's not a flex, that's financial self‑sabotage.” “You're not owed a $10,000 ring or a six‑figure wedding—love doesn't magically make more money appear.” “Marriage is a partnership and a shared mission; if you're sharing a bed and kids but not money, something's off.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️

The CPG Guys are joined in this episode by Bryan Leach, the Founder & CEO of Ibotta, a performance marketing platform allowing brands to deliver digital promotions to over 200 million consumers through a network of publishers called the Ibotta Performance Network (IPN). Follow Bryan on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bwleachFollow Ibotta on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ibotta-inc-/Follow Ibotta online at: https://ipn.ibotta.com/Bryan answers these questions:Ibotta started as a wildly successful cashback app. When did you first realize the company needed to evolve into a performance-marketing platform that could power promotions for national brands and retailers—not just consumers?Take us to the moment when the vision for the Ibotta Performance Network crystallized. What was the “aha” moment that told you the future wasn't DTC incentives, but a full-funnel, retailer-connected promotions ecosystem?When you think back to the earliest days of the IPN, how did the partnership with Walmart come together, and what did that milestone unlock for Ibotta's trajectory?The IPN is now a fundamentally different engine than it was two years ago. How have new partners like Instacart and DoorDash, plus an elevated focus on measurement, reshaped the network?You're now reaching more than 200 million consumers. What does true personalization look like at this scale, and what have you learned about delivering the right promotion to the right shopper at the right moment?When you talk to brand partners today, what are the top priorities they're solving for—and why is the traditional ROAS framework failing them?You've compared LiveLift to the launch of the IPN in terms of strategic importance. What gap does LiveLift fill, and why is this such a pivotal moment in Ibotta's evolution?How does LiveLift help quantify the true incremental impact of promotions—whether that's velocity, basket expansion, or shortening the repurchase cycle?CPGs keep saying they struggle to tie promotions directly to outcomes. How is Ibotta helping close that measurement gap, and what does the Liquid Death case study reveal about what's possible?If you had to project 1–3 years out, how do you see the promotions landscape transforming—and what will separate the brands that win from those that fall behind?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.

In February 2015, 22-year-old Asia LaRose Brown, a dedicated single mother and security guard from Greensboro, North Carolina, and her 2-year-old son Ashton were brutally murdered in a case that remains unsolved more than a decade later. On February 20, Asia bought a used 2005 Buick LaCrosse in High Point, registered it at the DMV alone, and later stopped at an AutoZone in Greensboro around 3:20 p.m. to buy car accessories; this was the last time she was seen alive on surveillance footage, appearing calm and unhurried. She and Ashton vanished that afternoon, and when she missed work shifts over the weekend, a welfare check was requested. Exactly 72 hours later, on February 23, her burned-out car was discovered in a wooded area near Thurston Avenue, less than two miles from her home. Inside the trunk, covered by a blue plastic tarp, police found the charred bodies of Asia and Ashton; the fire had been deliberately set with gasoline after they were killed. Autopsies revealed both died from multiple gunshot wounds from a .40-caliber handgun—Asia in the head and torso, and Ashton at close range—with the murders likely occurring within hours of Asia leaving the AutoZone. The car's seller, Ashton's father, and other persons of interest were cleared, and no evidence linked Asia to drugs or crime despite Greensboro's opioid crisis at the time. The blue tarp, purchased at a nearby Walmart, and the removal of the license plates suggest premeditation, yet the case has yielded few solid leads despite extensive investigation involving dozens of officers, FBI profilers, and forensic experts. As of December 2025, the double homicide remains active but cold, with Asia's family continuing to hold vigils and advocate for justice, especially for Black mothers affected by violence. A $15,000 reward is still offered for information leading to an arrest, and anyone with tips is urged to contact Greensboro Police or Crime Stoppers at 336-373-1000.     Sources: Chris Venzon (WFMY News2).

This week, the gang kicks things off with LinkedIn's shiny new 100-million-strong verification army, because nothing says “I'm a real human” like flashing a blue badge that apparently gets you 60% more profile views and 50% more love on posts (fake LinkedIn influencers are sweating bullets right now). Then the trio dissects Findem's mysterious acquisition, wondering if it's a path to riches for job boards or a one-way ticket to obselescence for the agent phenomenon. Walmart sneaks in as the dark-horse employment hero, proving even the retail behemoth can out-innovate and outsmart the market while competitors are still trying to get their own employee engagement strategies from hallucinating. Additional fireworks come when Chad, J.T. and Joel tackle AI-generated content—specifically OpenAI's Sora. Joel wonders if we're about to drown in perfectly polished, soulless videos, JT argues creators can finally clone themselves (hello, 48-hour workdays!), and Chad just wants to know who's actually going to pay for all this sci-fi wizardry instead of, you know, real revenue. And, naturally, it wouldn't be Chad and Cheese without Chad recounting his house-selling saga like it's a Greek tragedy and Joel dropping holiday nostalgia bombs that somehow make like worth living again.

Journalist and author William J. Kole joins me to unpack the deep and often hidden ties between white evangelicalism, politics, fear, and America's gun culture. Drawing from his new book In Guns We Trust, Bill shares how his own ministry collided with concealed weapons, why fear has shaped so much of the church's response to gun violence, and how Christian nationalism and the idolizing of the Second Amendment have influenced our national crisis. We talk about the shift from historic Christian nonviolence to the embrace of firearms, the political power that keeps common-sense reforms stalled, and what other countries have done to reduce mass shootings. We also explore why “thoughts and prayers” aren't enough and what a truly pro-life ethic demands of us today. If you long to break cycles of violence and return to the nonviolent way of Jesus, this is an essential and challenging conversation.William J. Kole is a veteran journalist and a former foreign correspondent who has reported from North America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. As Vienna bureau chief for The Associated Press, he wrote extensively on the nexus of crime, the weapons trade, arms trafficking and terrorism across Eastern Europe.His evangelical credentials are as extensive as his journalistic ones: He's a former lay missionary for the Assemblies of God, a worship leader at evangelical churches in Europe and around his native New England, and served as board president of Dorcas USA, an international Christian relief and development agency.Kole was AP's New England bureau chief when a gunman armed with a military-style assault rifle massacred 20 first-graders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Earlier in his career, he was a lead writer on the car crash that killed Britain's Princess Diana, and he also covered the arrest of former Yugoslav strongman Slobodan Milosevic, the death of Pope John Paul II, and Kosovo's independence. His many awards include one from the Society of American Business Editors & Writers for an investigation into the exploitation of undocumented immigrants by the Walmart retail chain.Kole, who speaks French, Dutch and German, studied journalism at Boston University and was a journalism fellow at Columbia University in New York and the National Press Foundation in Washington, D.C. Now an editor for Axios, he lives in Providence, R.I., and Paris.Bill's Book:In Guns We TrustBill's Recommendation:Jesus and John WayneConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Instacart is under fire for changing prices on their groceries at random as part of an "ongoing experiment." The experiment is, of course, whether or not you will pay the maximum price for food. Is Dynamic Pricing the new normal, or will consumers revolt? And are chains like Walmart next?

Jim and Lauren ring in the holidays with a very merchy episode of I Want That Too, recorded just after Lauren's family Polar Express adventure. From Disney Visa mailers and annual passholder calendars to Stitch-heavy gift guides, they dig into how Disney is trying to steer your holiday shopping. • Disney's “Home for the Holidays” Disney Rewards Insider issue and the surprise AP calendar reveal a full-court press of plush, Stitch, cruises, and watch-list marketing aimed at shaping your seasonal shopping. • Stitchmas dominates both online and in-park displays, with plush, pajamas, and matching family sets claiming a massive share of holiday floor space. • Disney Parks Blog releases multiple holiday gift guides spotlighting games, books, Frozen favorites, Zootopia tie-ins, and Lorcana must-haves for fans of all stripes. • While Disney pushes big-ticket items like the $399 LEGO castle, Jim and Lauren highlight personal picks including Dick Van Dyke's new book, Disney-branded Crocs, the Tokyo Disney Mickey gnome, and the classic monorail set. • Despite limited Cars Land holiday merch in the parks, Jim notes stronger Cars Christmas selections at Kohl's, Walmart, and BoxLunch, plus his near-purchase of Target's leftover 2021 Winter Series die-casts. • A listener tip confirms the red truck Mickey popcorn bucket sells out nightly at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, creating steep eBay markups. • Looking ahead, Zootopia 2's box office success is backed by a large retail program, while Pixar's Hoppers gets a lighter rollout as Disney gears up for major Toy Story 5 merchandising. • 2025's Toy Story and Tangled anniversary lines show mixed traction, as Jim previews everything from collector dolls to Woody's Clint Eastwood-inspired poncho look and recommends watching for Twice Upon a Year markdowns.

On this episode the boys talk about Diddy doc, rats, the county, Walmart and much more.

This week, our hosts ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dave Bittner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joe Carrigan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Maria Varmazis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (also host of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠T-Minus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Space Daily show) are sharing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. We start with another chicken update for everyone. Dave's got the story of a Monotype font-licensing shakedown that totally backfired — automated claims, mass messages, and scary warnings that all unraveled when a typography-savvy employee proved every allegation was wrong, leaving Monotype empty-handed. Joe's story is on a massive Walmart robocall scam targeting millions of customers. Fake calls, using AI voices claiming a pricey PlayStation 5 order, tricked people into giving personal info. The FCC is cracking down on SK Teleco, the U.S. voice provider behind the calls, threatening to cut them off from U.S. networks if they don't act fast to stop the scam. Maria has the story on TSA warnings for travelers: avoid plugging phones into public USB ports and skip unsecured airport Wi-Fi. Hackers can sneak malware through USBs or intercept data over open networks, so TSA and the FCC recommend using portable chargers, charging-only cables, or a VPN to stay safe while traveling. Our catch of the day comes from a Microsoft looking email which says the user has been flagged.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1216: Today we dig into the tightening-but-shifting new-car inventory landscape, explore Nissan's bold attempt to rediscover its “North Star”, and watch Target leapfrog competitors by baking full-on AI shopping directly into ChatGPT.Show Notes with links:November brought a slight dip in overall new-vehicle inventory, but the real headline for dealers is how quickly anything under $25K is evaporating from lots—and how quickly EV days' supply is rising. Here's the breakdown:U.S. new-vehicle inventory fell 1.6% to 3.09M units, but days' supply ticked up from 70 to 73.Sub-$25K vehicles are practically mythical—spending 1.5 days on lots.EV supply ballooned from 107 to 126 daysHybrids sit at a 60-day supply, ICE vehicles at 75 days; minivans remain leanest at 58 days.Toyota continues to run the tightest ship in the industry with 31 days of supply.Christian Meunier isn't pulling punches—Nissan has been drifting for years, and he says the U.S. turnaround now depends on sharper execution, stronger product, and yes…better dealer performance.Meunier says Nissan had “no North star, no vision and no direction,” prompting him to bring headquarters staff back in-office four days a week to accelerate decisions and rebuild momentum.U.S. sales have fallen 40% in a decade, market share is down to 6.4%, and heavy discounting has trained shoppers to view Nissan as “the cheap one.”Nissan needs at least 7–8% retail share to support its 1,067 U.S. stores, and if the brand can't lift demand, fewer dealers may be necessary.“Christian is the right man for the job. It's just a hard job,” said dealer council lead Mike Rezi.Target is jumping headfirst into AI commerce by embedding its shopping experience directly into ChatGPT, building on OpenAI's growing presence in e-commerce with Shopify and Etsy integrations.Users can search, add to cart, and check out via ChatGPT using their Target account.The integration supports drive-thru and pickup orders within the chat interface.This move mirrors Walmart's AI ambitions, but Target is first to market with a confirmed rollout.“Target is a great example of what that shift looks like when it's done with ambition and speed,” said Fidji Simo, OpenAI CEO of Applications.Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

Before OPI, nail color was just another product on the shelf. Suzi Weiss-Fischmann gave it personality and built a global brand in the process.Suzi believed nail color could be personal, playful, and expressive. She pushed the entire industry forward with smarter formulas, bold branding, and shade names that became pop culture, from “I'm Not Really a Waitress” to “Lincoln Park After Dark.” In just six years after its founding, OPI became the number one professional nail brand in America.In this episode of Big Shot, Harley and David sit down with Suzi to explore the instincts that fueled that rise. She talks about welcoming competition, using storytelling to make an emotional connection with customers, and expanding from salons into Walmart without losing trust or quality. Suzi also shares how her Jewish upbringing influenced her approach to business, from the drive that comes from starting with very little to the values of community and responsibility that guided every big decision.—In This Episode We Cover:(00:00) Intro(03:23) Growing up in communist Hungary with two Holocaust-survivor parents(05:54) How honoring faith brought Suzi's mom back to Auschwitz(07:32) Why Suzi's family fled Hungary (12:40) Suzi's family's transitional time in Israel (15:50) Where Suzi's work ethic came from (18:53) Suzi's adolescence in New York(23:27) Suzi's move to Los Angeles (24:52) How a dental-supply store ended up experimenting with acrylic nails(29:37) OPI's first trade show (32:36) Why competition is good(33:58) How Starbucks inspired Suzi to personalize nail polish (36:44) Why OPI named polishes after food and places and how the naming process worked(42:46) The time Suzi presented to Barbara Broccoli (45:27) The perks and bonuses OPI gave to their employees(48:19) How OPI fixed its lipstick mistake(52:43) How success affected Suzi(55:04) Entering Walmart and growing beyond the professional market(58:15) How Suzi's divorce impacted the family business (1:01:33) The emotional impact of selling OPI(1:10:47) The Jewish work ethic(1:14:25) How to raise resilient, hardworking children—Where to find Suzi Weiss-Fischmann: • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1stladyofcolors• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1stladyofcolors• Website: https://1stladyofcolors.comWhere To Find Big Shot: • Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bigshot.show/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@bigshotpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  • TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@bigshotshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/bigshotshow/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  • Harley Finkelstein: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/harleyf⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • David Segal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/tea_maverick⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• Production and Marketing: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://penname.co⁠

Buckle up: The 100th episode of The Huddle rolls into territory many never get to see —the cab of a Walmart truck. John reunites with longtime private fleet driver Janis Frazier. They first crossed paths in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, where Janis was delivering emergency supplies into devastated communities.   What follows is an inside look at the road life most of us never see: holiday highways buzzing with hurried drivers, the calm confidence it takes to steer an 80,000-pound rig, and the heart behind a job that keeps the company moving. If you want to know what really powers Walmart's supply chain, start here.

Kevin Davitt looks at historical market data to check the likelihood of a market rally in the second half of December, with the potential for new all-time highs. Kevin also examines the implications of Walmart (WMT) moving its listing to the Nasdaq from the NYSE. “This is a key point in the calendar for all indexing businesses,” he notes, as they rebalance before the end of the year. While the Walmart move came after the cutoff for the Nasdaq-100 rebalance, he thinks it might move into that index next year.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Amazon truckload hijacked, TikTok Shop creator tactics, new AI tools & strategies, Amazon PPC recovery, and a full revamp of the AM/PM & Serious Sellers Podcasts.   In this episode, Bradley Sutton kicks off a brand-new era for both the AM/PM Podcast and the Serious Sellers Podcast with co-hosts Carrie Miller and Shivali Patel. This simulcast episode sets the tone for what's coming next: more Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and AI-driven strategies designed to help you make money in the AM and the PM. Bradley also shares the new format for both shows, including Weekly Buzz moving to AM/PM Podcast, expert-led trainings, and a renewed focus on real seller stories on Serious Sellers Podcast every Monday.   From there, things get wild. Carrie tells the story of a truckload of her Amazon inventory being hijacked on the freeway like a scene straight out of Fast & Furious, complete with a fake carrier, turned-off tracking, ransom demands, and a loss that ballooned to around $70K after tariffs. She breaks down what she learned about freight, tariffs, switching manufacturing from China to Turkey, and why sellers need to be more hands-on with carriers and agencies alike. Shivali then shares her own hard lesson: a high-margin product that kept failing customers, forcing her to pull the listing and rebuild the brand off-Amazon using a digital-first strategy that pairs a makeup mastery course with a physical product bonus and a new funnel powered by Google Ads.   To round out the episode, Shivali walks through exactly how she became a TikTok creator in just 12 days, qualified for the Creator Pilot Program, and started monetizing with TikTok Shop using existing camera-roll content, smart reposting, and product tagging. She also reveals some under-the-radar AI tools like Higgsfield and Arcads that can help sellers generate before-and-after content, influencer-style videos, and scalable creatives without always needing the physical product on hand. Carrie closes with one more key reminder for Amazon sellers: start paying attention to Rufus and optimize your listings around the real questions shoppers are asking, because AI-driven search is already changing how people discover products on Amazon.   In episode 477 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley, Carrie, and Shivali discuss: 00:00 – Bradley kicks off the new era of the AM/PM & Serious Sellers Podcasts 02:03 – Fast & Furious moment: an Amazon shipment gets hijacked 03:20 – How the thieves impersonated the carrier and held the load for ransom 05:14 – $70K in losses and what sellers MUST know about subcontracted carriers 07:48 – Turning a product failure into a digital-product-first business model 15:50 – Carrie moves manufacturing from China to Turkey - costs vs. tariffs 16:55 – Major announcement: Weekly Buzz moves to the AM/PM Podcast 22:10 – How Shivali became a TikTok Creator in 12 days &  27:45 – Carrie's Amazon PPC agency disaster & how she rebuilt with Helium 10 34:05 – AI tools sellers haven't heard of 36:45 – Optimizing Amazon listings for Rufus AI 37:55 – The future format of both podcasts moving forward

We're digging into situationships, why single moms have nothing to fear in the dating world, and what it actually looks like for women to take their power back and date from a place of confidence instead of scarcity.
