Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

American Eagle’s Logistics Gamble | Fast Five Shorts
Q: What does this headline say to you about retailers trying to build out and sell their own technological solutions?
The suggestion is to possibly invest dollars elsewhere instead of trying to create a technology platform that might not align with the core mission.
Inside Amazon’s Layoffs and What Culture Has to Do With It | Fast Five Shorts
Q: How should the broader industry examine this plan and what action should they be thinking about taking?
I think most organizations could cut 10% of their corporate teams and be more effective, more efficient, as long as it's done really well.
Inside Amazon’s Layoffs and What Culture Has to Do With It | Fast Five Shorts
Q: Andy Jassy says this is all about culture and bureaucracy and not AI or finances. Do you buy that explanation?
I can only hope that Andy honestly sees bureaucracy and these quote unquote layers that have been created as a real issue, because I do.
ChatGPT Enters the Ad Game | Fast Five Shorts
Q: Do you think this scares Google at all to any greater degree or are you still pretty bullish on Google?
Chris believes Google is in a good position and that ChatGPT's advertising may not significantly challenge Google's dominance in the long run.
ChatGPT Enters the Ad Game | Fast Five Shorts
Q: What are you most focused on in terms of seeing how things play out with ad testing on ChatGPT?
Chris expresses curiosity about customer engagement and whether users find value in the advertisements, comparing it to physical retail experiences with in-store promotions.
