Hey, if you don't have a notebook for this week's podcast, you are definitely going to want to grab one because joining me today is, I don't even know what his official title is anymore. I'm just going to call him the godfather of retail.

Joining me is Paul Erikson with Management One. Many of you have heard him speak at the summit or in our membership group at the boutique hub, but he literally

is an industry icon when it comes to understanding and managing your inventory. He's a great

storyteller. You will not be bored with numbers, I promise, but you will learn a ton. Not only is Paul

a great guy, super smart, but incredibly funny. One thing I appreciate in all of my conversations with Paul is the actual real-time data that

I learn about what's happening in retail right now.

Because one of the coolest features about Management 1, and I'm so thankful for our partnership

with them so that we can learn this, is they gather real-time data from the point of sales of all the

retailers they work with around the world. So they have instant access to what's working

right now, what's selling right now, whether it's brand, size, price point, trend, you name it.

They have such a great bird's eye view at actual sales in retail. So Paul brings all of that

and then some to the table today and also talking about post-pandemic life and what's happening to

retail in our world today. And newsflash, what an opportunity we have in front of us today.

Get ready to meet my friend Paul Erikson.

I know you're going to love this and it's just the beginning, you guys,

because he'll also be joining us this year at the boutique summit.

I can't wait for you to meet him.

You're going to love it.
