Retail's Great Acceleration with guest Carl Boutet

This week the "3 Amigos of Retail" re-unite, as we welcome our special guest Carl Boutet for a discussion of "The Great Acceleration." When Carl first coined the term during Steve's virtual book launch event in April of 2020, little did we know how much it would catch on--and how prophetic it would turn out to be. Now we get a chance to discuss Carl's original thinking, how it's evolved and then dive into the highlights from his provocative new book. We dissect the "race to resilience,"  the key forces of the acceleration, retail's increasingly digitally-enabled future and what it might mean to live in a 50/50 physical/digital world (just don't call it "phygital"!). There's plenty of great insight and lots of lively banter.
