Podcast host @ricardobelmar.bsky.social turned off his car's lane-keeping assist. It kept nudging him out of the lane it was built to keep him in.

NYT editor Eric Athas has a test for that: does this help a wide spectrum of people?

Great conversation with Eric Athas, author, Saying No to New .

Why are w so obsessed with new things? And do we really need them? Those are the questions we tackle.

Plus - is the #retail industry responsible for this behavior?

New episode of The #RetailRazor Show is available now!

Walmart's in-store screens once out-earned Walmart.com. Then Walmart deleted the network.

Mike Hiatt built it. Today's newsletter is why it died.

There’s an #AI strategy gap in #supplychain at retailers. This episode breaks it down. Part 1 of our 3 part series with
Arizona State University W.P.Carey School of Business Prof Brett Duarte.

Part 1 is procurement & #agenticAI.

Plus discount code for ASU's supply chain exec program in Oct!

This one is for #retailmedia leaders. In-store retail media is the big trend right now, and it's where every #RMN wants to grow.

But Walmart has done this before. Twice. Before their current generation. This episode we talked with Mike Hiatt who built those early versions.

Lessons for all!

@ricardobelmar.bsky.socialAug 29, 2026, 5:57 PM

Great lessons for both retail leaders and #retail tech founders in this episode with Steve Worthy!
