Buckle Up Buttercup, Get Ready for Season 5 of Remarkable Retail!

This is Steve Dennis, innovation & strategy consultant, keynote speaker and best-selling author of Remarkable Retail: How to Win & Keep Customers in the Age of Disruption.

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.

So join me and my co-host Michael LeBlanc each and every week as we challenge the status quo, dissect the latest trends, put the top retail news of the week in context, and make sense of the next era of modern retail.

We've worked hard over the past four seasons to share our pragmatic insights, showcase those retail leaders and brands that are making a real difference and earn our place as one of the top ranked retail industry podcasts in the world.

So be sure to subscribe on Apple, Spotify or wherever you enjoy your podcasts today and brace yourself for a steady stream of wisdom, straight talk and lively conversation.

Season 5, presented by MarketDial, launches July 12, and we can’t wait to have you join us!
