If you think the last few years of the COVID era was a wild ride, buckle up buttercup, things are only going to get tougher as retailers face escalating competition and increasing macroeconomic headwinds. In an era where even very good is no longer good enough, to rise above the rest our only choice is to choose to be remarkable. And making this remarkable mind shift requires that we aim higher, act more boldly and move much faster. As a C-level executive at two Fortune 500 companies, keynote speaker and strategic advisor to dozens of retail, consumer and technology brands, I help organizations accelerate their growth. I'm also the author of the recent best-selling book "Remarkable Retail: How to Win & Keep Customers in the Age of Disruption." Join me and my co-host Michael LeBlanc, Producer & Host of The Voice of Retail podcast, The Food Professor podcast and the Conversation with CommerceNext podcast as we explore the evolution of modern retail. Along with special guests, including top retailers and industry thought leaders, we'll explore the latest events within the retail industry and beyond for a lively and interactive journey to Remarkable Retail.
