As business legend Warren Buffett might say: The Tide is Going Out - we're about to see who's swimming naked. With a worldwide recession threatening, the pace of change continuing to accelerate, and an increasingly volatile operating environment, retailers that deliver anything less than a remarkable customer experience are about to see their weaknesses exposed. I'm Steve Dennis, strategy & innovation consultant, keynote speaker and best-selling author of Remarkable Retail: How to Win & Keep Customers in the Age of Disruption. Join me and my co-host Michael LeBlanc every week for Season 6 of the Remarkable Retail podcast as we challenge the status quo, dissect the latest trends, put the top retail news of the week in context, and talk with the remarkable leaders who push their organizations to aim higher, act more boldly, and transform at the speed of disruption.

Customer Reviews
Best resource for retail marketers
This is the most succinct yet well informed podcast on all things retail. The hosts are industry veterans who are able to zoom in and out of macroeconomics and more retail specific insights with absolute ease. Must listen.
Learned so much about the business/culture
I am 14 pandemic months into a marketing role for a retail technology mounting provider - with a very different pre-covid marketing life. It’s been tough to learn the nuances of the industry without the water cooler or face to face conversations or the trade shows - making it tricky to ‘get it’.
I got the missing links in a week of daily gym sessions accompanied by an episode.
The conversation is insightful which has catapulted my knowledge and understanding... and using it to write. The data is showing 150% up on engagement. I’m up on my fitness too as the weights sesh flies by!
Technology futurists are my new crush.
