In this week’s Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by Takeoff, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, and Attentive, Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga:

- Explore what Amazon taking Venmo means for the future.
- Praise Sobeys for its new "flex store" concept.
- Debate YouTube's right to win in livestream commerce.
- Have a blast talking Burberry's interactive deer NFTs (yes, you read that right) for Singles' Day.
- And, close with a look at why Nike teaming up on loyalty with Dick's Sporting Goods shows why Nike is still one of the best omnichannel retailers around.

There's all that, plus how we like our pretzels, Adele's new single, and both of us calling Jeff Bezos's alpha male flex pose to keep Leonardo DiCaprio away from his girlfriend what it is -- an HGH induced mid-life crisis. 

Be careful out there,

– Chris, Anne, and the Omni Talk team
