And Ian's pissed off! We're joined once more by our friend, writer and critic Rob Rubsam, to talk 1996's GRAY'S ANATOMY, a sort of longform music video for Gray's "monolog" of the same name, and Soderbergh's 2010 posthumous "autobiography" of Gray, AND EVERYTHING IS GOING FINE.

2022-03-311h 29The Business of RetailRetail Careers in Flux in 2022Arguably the top buzzword of 2021 is “The Great Resignation”. Catchy as it sounds, it's an incomplete story. Many are leaving, but others are staying and new will come - for the right opportunities. A recent Fast Company piece suggests it is actually “The Great Reprioritization”. It focused on the worker perspective, but reprioritizing and redesigning the way retail works should be a high priority for CEOs. We turn to the changes in play around head office retail employment, professional careers, and how we organize talent in this exceptionally human industry.
2021-12-0728 minThe Business of Retail"Shop Local" - What Does It Really Mean?This time of year in particular brings urgent calls to "Shop Local". Individually and collectively, the TBOR Crew has been a vocal supporter of independent retail and foodservice from the earliest days of the pandemic. Yet, as we dove into Ep. 30, we soon realized these two words can mean different things to different people. Is it about buying 'locally made' product? Or are we to focus on buying product from a nearby owner-operator (that might be sourced overseas)? And more...We recap the reasons to support indie while noting the challenges discouraging a shift. We confirm...
2021-11-2324 minThe Business of RetailHard Truths in a Retail Staffing CrisisSome fire showed in this 24 min episode. All agree that the retail front of house staffing model for stores is broken. There are quick patches for Holiday 2021, but the underlying issues are not going away. The question is whether the industry can disrupt itself to find the answer. The ongoing campaign against a higher minimum wage suggests it won't. We speculate on a slow demise of stores, to the detriment of consumers and brands, if staff are not invested beyond 'minimum'.

If corona-virus protocols wax and wane through 2023 or beyond, supply chain vulnerability will continue to be the biggest wild card for retailers and shoppers alike. This is the subject of Episode 26, fortuitously timed with the announced shocker that Canadian Tire purchased a stake in an inland 'port'. As with so many things, this is at heart a people issue despite the obvious need for systems and...

However, the experiential foundations of the past 100 years are still these: sales and service. Have we forgotten what exceptional sales and service entails? Have productivity efforts gone too far? This is different than having shiny interactive displays in store... this shows up when we shoppers have our specific problems solved, when we gratefully buy something more expensive because an associate helps us better understand the value it brings. We don't feel 'sold'. Why is it eroding? What are the underlying causes that a...
