In today's Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by Takeoff and the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, A&M's David Ritter and Kristin Kohler Burrows join Chris and Anne to debate:
- What Amazon's latest moves to increase wages and offer free college tuition for its employees signal for the rest of the retail industry.
- The recent layoffs at Casper and whether they are a canary in the coal mine for other DTC brands or simply an isolated event.
- Amazon mega-roller-upper Thrasio's recent $100 million spending spree and what it could mean for the CPG industry.
- Peloton's overt move into private label apparel.
- And, close with a discussion on buyers' clubs through the examination lens of Beauty Pie, a buyers' club in the health and wellness space that just raised $100 million.
There's all that plus taco subscription runs to the border and what we think is also likely fake news from Deutsche bank on the size of the Walmart+ subscription base.
