If we're learned anything in the past few years, it's that the pace of change is only accelerating and the difference between the winners and losers often centers on those that understand the fierce urgency of now and choose to aim much, much higher and move, much much faster. Remarkable brands know that speed is essential. But what exactly separates those that successfully transform for a new era, that consistently move to where consumers and technology is headed, that leap ahead of the competition, and those that remain hopefully stuck? This is Steve Dennis, strategic advisor, keynote speaker, and best-selling author of Leaders Leap and Remarkable Retail inviting you to join me and fellow retail insider Michael LeBlanc each week as we share the keys to rising above the rest in an increasingly uncertain and rapidly evolving world. Listeners worldwide have made us one of the retail industry's top-rated and most listened-to independent podcasts. This season, we'll continue with our unique take on retail's most important news and feature guests who are shaping the future of modern retail. So be sure to follow us on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you enjoy your podcast today and get ready yourself for a steady stream of wisdom, no BS points of view, and lively conversation. Season Nine of the award-winning Remarkable Retail podcast launches on Tuesday September 10th. We can't wait for you to join us. © 2020-2024 M.E. LeBlanc & Company Inc. All Rights Reserved.
