As business legend Warren Buffett might say: The Tide is Going Out - we're about to see who's swimming naked. With a worldwide recession threatening, the pace of change continuing to accelerate, and an increasingly volatile operating environment, retailers that deliver anything less than a remarkable customer experience are about to see their weaknesses exposed.

This is Steve Dennis, strategy & innovation consultant, keynote speaker and best-selling author of Remarkable Retail: How to Win & Keep Customers in the Age of Disruption.

Join me and my co-host Michael LeBlanc every week for Season 6 of the Remarkable Retail podcast as we challenge the status quo, dissect the latest trends, put the top retail news of the week in context, and talk with the remarkable leaders who push their organizations to aim higher, act more boldly, and transform at the speed of disruption.

Listeners worldwide have made us one of the top-rated and top-listened retail industry podcasts. This season, Steve and I will meet industry insiders from New York to Las Vegas, to Barcelona and beyond to showcase those retail brands making a real difference and discover their remarkable journeys and lessons learned.

So be sure to follow us on Apple, Spotify or wherever you enjoy your podcasts today and brace yourself for a steady stream of wisdom, straight talk and lively conversation.

Season 6, presented by MarketDial, launches on January 17, and we can't wait to have you join us!
