Remarkable Retail Podcast podcast

Remarkable Retail Podcast

With the pace of disruption continuing to accelerate, with more and more power being concentrated in the hands of only a few mega-retailers, with consumer needs and wants being constantly reshaped, and with the global impact of tariffs still far from certain, how do you make sense of what to do and, most importantly, gain the confidence to aim higher, move faster and act more boldly. That's where the industry leading, award-winning Remarkable Retail Podcast comes in. I'm Steve Dennis, strategic advisor, keynote speaker, and bestselling author. I invite you to join me and fellow retail insider Michael LeBlanc each week as we separate the signal from the noise and give you the tools and ideas to make the bold leap to remarkable. The Remarkable Retail podcast is the only retail show hosted by two of the NRF’s 2025 Top Retail Voices. And in this, our eleventh season, we’ll continue our award-winning formula: [pause] no BS perspectives crafted from our decades of experience on the front lines, hot takes on the week’s biggest retail news, conversations with the most remarkable retail leaders, and, new this season, occasional guest co-hosts who will help us open the aperture on an industry in flux. So be sure to follow us wherever you enjoy your podcasts or on the newly expanded Remarkable Retail YouTube channel. We hope you’ll join us. © 2020-2025 M.E. LeBlanc & Company Inc.
