You know you’re getting old when you’re going through old physical photos and you try to zoom in to see details more clearly 🤣 #oldage

@tobi There’s no perfect place but Toronto is the best place to make connections and eat diverse food in Canada. Makes total sense 😌

[Karen Wong 🛒 @builtforretail]

This is a RIGHT TURN signal 😆

What a great way to recruit captive brand believers at minimal cost 🙌

100% agree that the in-store treasure hunt makes it less brand dilutive. It’s similar to the dynamic in retail categories with actively enforced MSRP too #retailindustry #brickandmortar https://t.co/9wmtZgtzr8

[Karen Wong 🛒 @builtforretail]

That is some serious branding. https://t.co/s4M4QOHwuk 🐐 #messi #mbappe #psg #parissaintgermain Happy big birthday Don Kang 🎂🎉🥳 https://t.co/5CJCRAXrwr

I was doing work in my lounge & noticed something very strange.

Across the room, a guy was playing chess & talking to someone across the board.

I couldn't see them & I couldn't hear them.

My confusion turned to intrigue, so I stood up & walked up to the man.

Sitting across from man was not 1, but 2 children.

A young boy aged 5.
And a young girl aged 6.

The kids were chess players & the man was their coach.

He told me that they had been memorizing game strategy & patterns for over a year(!)

This experience left me with 2 thoughts:

1) They would 100% beat me in chess if we played head to head right now.

2) When I was 5 I was pumped when I didn't drool on myself or poop my pants.

Kids are built differently these days.

Many retailers carrying competitive products will be relieved that this will be an extended liquidation.

Nordstrom's liquidation sale began today. Most items in the store are only 5% off - 📹 @kimiaafshar98 #Toronto #Nordstrom

A business does $800,000,000 in sales per year.

- It’s 111 years old
- It only sells product 6-8 weeks per year
- It sells 200 million units per year
- It has 1 million “sales reps”

What’s the business?

Lovely Vuori store - first three pictures. Compare this to a recent shot of Vuori in Nordstrom - final picture. Where would you rather buy product from? Department stores are their own worst enemy!
