Hello Omni Talk Fans! This week showed me exactly why I love my job.

Preparing my notes for this week’s Fast Five, I thought to myself, “Damn, I love the creative process Anne and I have established with each other.”

No matter what noise is going on around us, our weekly Fast Five podcast is our collective happy place. It energizes us, it revitalizes us, and, when done right, puts a darn big smile on our faces.

As we say every week, we hope this week's episode makes you feel a little smarter but, most importantly, a little happier, too.

In this week’s Fast Five Podcast, Anne and I had a blast:

- Taking a victory lap on Amazon’s price positioning in Amazon Fresh stores.

- Opening our minds to GNC's new food delivery service.

- Lauding Simon, after slagging it last week, for something it is calling “Simon Search.”

- Sounding alarm bells (that likely only our loyal Omni Talk fans will hear) on Amazon’s second Style store that is coming soon to Columbus, OH.

- And closed with a right proper debate on how cool Walmart's partnership with Roku really is.

There’s all that, plus my favorite vacation drink, the last time Anne took down a full box of Kraft Mac & Cheese, and the over/under on how many angry gun toting residents will actually shoot down Amazon's drones.

P.S. I have always dreamed of going to Cannes, hobnobbing with celebrities, going to parties, and generally pretending to be way cooler than I am.

But, alas, it wasn’t in the cards again this year, so I will just have to live vicariously through two Firework execs who will tell us all about it live on LinkedIn next week.

P.P.S. Keep leaving us those reviews on Apple Podcasts! We love reading them aloud each week on our show.

And chances are 100% that you will hear yours read one day, as we read them in chronological order as they come in.
