One of us shows up with a color-coded outline. The other? Just vibes. (We’ll let you guess who’s who.) In this episode, we break down our very different prep styles—Matthew with the meticulous notes, Christina flying by the seat of her skinny jeans—and how that dynamic plays out both on the mic and behind the scenes in retail.
Then we tumble into a retail rabbit hole: credit card and gift card strategy. From loyalty traps to margin magic, this side of the business is sneakily powerful. If you’ve ever swiped, scanned, or panic-purchased a gift card at checkout, congrats—you’ve played the game.
Oh, and Matthew’s also on a shredding mission—because apparently the government might piece together his discarded junk mail. It’s a journey.
