| 5/8/26 | Ready Is Not Enough in Retail Right Now | Send us Fan Mail Being ready for the next opportunity does not guarantee you get it. Steve learned that the hard way - outperformed for a role he thought was already his, by someone who simply showed up to win that day. That is the first of three things retail leaders need to hear right now. The second: 30,000 people at Oracle got a 6am email that changed everything. AI is not just a tech story. It is a retail story. And the leaders who survive it are not the ones who fear it — they are the... | 43m 14s | ||||||
| 4/16/26 | Unscripted: Outlasting Doubt, Defining Your Problem, and Being Seen | Send us Fan Mail I wasn't planning on recording this morning. Good thing he did. This unscripted episode covers three things retail leaders are sitting with right now: how to outlast the doubt when you're building something others have already tried to talk you out of what specific problem your leadership solves and so you actually know the answerthe difference between being known and being seenNo agenda. Just straight thinking. Learn more at worthyretail.com Chapters: 00:00 This w... | 43m 21s | ||||||
| 1/24/26 |  Do You Have the Discipline to Say No? Part 4 of 4 | Send us Fan Mail The Discipline to Say No (The Decision That Determines Everything) This is the decision most leaders avoid. After the conferences. After the ideas. After the pressure to “look at everything.” Part IV is about the one move that determines whether all of this turns into leverage or just more noise. In this episode, I break down why conferences expand possibility, but leadership requires subtraction. Why saying “we’re looking at everything” is the safest answer and the mos... | 20m 10s | ||||||
| 1/24/26 |  Translate Inspiration Into Ownership (Not Initiatives) Part 3 of 4 | Send us Fan Mail Part III is about the mistake that kills most conference ideas. Leaders come back with insights, slides, notes, and energy. They share the information. They post about it. They talk about it. And then nothing changes. In this episode, I break down why ideas don’t fail because they’re bad, they fail because no one owns them. Conferences create inspiration. Organizations require ownership. We talk about why initiatives create motion but ownership creates outcomes, why lea... | 18m 18s | ||||||
| 1/24/26 |  Why Innovation Dies After the Conference - Part 2 of 4 | Send us Fan Mail Part II is about the moment most leaders mishandle. After a conference, leaders return energized. New ideas. New language. New urgency. And almost immediately, they start pushing initiatives into an organization that hasn’t changed its capacity, priorities, or decision rules. In this episode, I break down why post-conference optimism hides execution friction, and why execution is always the first thing to break when leaders confuse excitement with readiness. You’ll hear... | 12m 11s | ||||||
| 1/17/26 |  After NRF: Decide the Real Problem (Part 1 of 4) | Send us Fan Mail After NRF: Decide the Real Problem (Part 1 of 4) Most conferences don’t fail because the ideas are bad. They fail because leaders come back with volume instead of judgment. NRF expands what feels possible. Leadership is deciding what actually matters. In Part 1 of this four-part series, Steve Worthy focuses on the first and most important post-conference decision: deciding the real problem you’re solving this year. NRF pushes solutions. Vendors do their job well. The risk for... | 22m 45s | ||||||
| 1/15/26 |  What’s your (one) word for 2026? | Send us Fan Mail There were years when things looked fine from the outside, but they weren’t fine. Professionally, I was doing the work. Personally, I was carrying more than I should have. I had a coach, a tighter inner circle, and the right intentions, but I still found myself drifting. New ideas kept pulling at me. New opportunities kept showing up. And I didn’t have a reliable way to decide what deserved my energy and what didn’t. That’s when I started using a Word of the Year. Not because... | 45m 43s | ||||||

| 12/5/25 |  What Happens When You’ve Outgrown Your Role? | Send us Fan Mail What Happens When You’ve Outgrown Your Role?

Ryan’s journey from Dunkin’ Donuts to leading innovation in a Berkshire Hathaway company is filled with the kind of insights leaders need right now. In this conversation we cover: How to know w... | 47m 31s | ||||||
| 11/20/25 |  Every Product Pays Rent! | Send us Fan Mail Retail is not complicated. It is hard work. This episode gets us back to the basics that keep a store alive: profit, time, and turns. I sit down with Maximilian Anderson, founder of SKUMAX, to talk about seeing your true cost of goods, why every item should pay rent, and how to make better decisions with the data you already own.

| 6/26/25 |  Most Retailers Are Not AI-Ready! | Send us Fan Mail Everyone’s talking about AI, but few retail leaders are asking the deeper question: Is your company truly AI-ready—or just overwhelmed with data? In this episode, I sit down with, Abhijit Patharkar, the co-founder of Nexlytix to unpack the unspoken barriers to effective AI in retail: siloed systems, misaligned storytelling, broken decision-making, and the myth that more dashboards mean more clarity.

| 5/22/25 |  Great Stores Still Stop Us in Our Tracks! | Send us Fan Mail Some stores just stop you. You walk in, and for a moment—maybe longer—you forget you're in a place built to sell. You're in something more. A feeling. A point of view. A brand that knows who it is. This episode is a love letter to those stores—and the people who know how to spot them. Steve sits down with two of his favorite retail minds (and friends), Jack Stratton and Ian Scott, for a fast-moving conversation that feels more like a pub chat than a panel. Together, they unpa... | 1h 17m 06s | ||||||
| 5/1/25 |  What Brazil Taught Me About Leadership with Paula Macaggi | Send us Fan Mail Many retail leaders operate with a limited perspective, often assuming that their market’s approach is the gold standard.

| 3/20/25 |  What Got You Here - Won’t Get You There! | Send us Fan Mail When Retail Stops Growing You, What’s Next? No one tells you what happens when you outgrow your company. You hit every metric, you do everything right, and yet the growth stops. Your company still expects results, but they’re not developing you. They’re not stretching you. And if you’re being honest, you’re starting to feel it. The hard truth? Most senior leaders won’t admit when they’ve hit this wall. They keep showing up, running the same play, hoping something shifts. But ... | 55m 53s | ||||||
