  • Love podcast sammi

    In this last episode there was a ton of discussion of going from short form socials to long form podcasts and I just want to say I LOVE the podcast. It gets so much more in depth, I can listen in the car, and I think you conduct great interviews. I know it takes a lot more work for less return, but I really appreciate it!

  • Thorough and Articulate

    When I listen to Sammi break down a story I feel like I am listening to a thoughtful, thorough, and entertaining academic. She is so sharp and careful not to overstate things. She has a knack for picking the best things to discuss and keeps her content both interesting and informative. I am an attorney and she makes me wish I studied business! Luckily for me, I can learn a lot from her content. Keep up the incredible work, Sammi!

  • Relevant, succinct, and timely!

    Sami, thanks for your show. I love that there is a mix of long and short shows and your topics are always on point and interesting! You get to the point quickly, always have a clear throughline, and I’m always left thinking about new angles.

    Also… from one ex-Amazonian to another - you took all the best from the company, “raised the bar”, and are bringing your audience the brilliance of your instinct and know-how! :)

Harley Finkelstein (Shopify) on AI Shopping Agents, Merit-Based Commerce, and the “Give a Sh*t Factor” That Makes Founder-Led Companies Win

Agentic commerce uses chat-based agents to understand consumer preferences, curate merchandised options with high merit, and allow purchases directly within chat interfaces, offering a seamless, personalized shopping flow without leaving the chat.
Harley Finkelstein (Shopify) on AI Shopping Agents, Merit-Based Commerce, and the “Give a Sh*t Factor” That Makes Founder-Led Companies Win
Q: What was the moment that defined Shopify's trajectory for Harley?
Ringing the bell at the New York Stock Exchange when Shopify went public was a pivotal moment that symbolized a generation-long journey, signaling that Shopify could become a generational company and scale beyond expectations.
Todd Kahn (Coach) on Winning Gen Z, Shrinking to Grow, and the Brand Turnaround That Changed Everything
Q: Walk me through the pivotal moment when Coach realized the existing strategy wasn't working and needed a complete reset.
Todd explains that the realization came gradually as results stalled and the market evolved; the company stopped defaulting to discounting, cut underperforming SKUs, shifted marketing from a 3% spend to 11%, and then embraced a long, deliberate reset focused on Gen Z, creative leadership, and a tighter product and store strategy.
Jay Luchs (Newmark) on Building a Real Estate Empire, Strategy for Brick and Mortar, and Newbie Lease Mistakes
Q: What is a common blind spot founders have when first signing a retail lease?
Founders often underestimate the importance of the landlord relationship, market rent realities, and the need for a space that supports not just shopping but foot traffic, community energy, and the broader tenant mix that sustains a street.
Suzy Welch (NYU) on the Joy of Getting Fired, Decoding the 10/10/10 Method, and Why Most People Settle for a B+ Life
Q: What changes have you seen in students taking Becoming You, especially with AI and geopolitical shifts affecting career paths?
There is growing urgency and fear among students about AI and instability, so the course now offers three integrated pathways rather than a single purpose, giving people flexible options that align with their values, aptitudes, and interests.
