Fast Five
Brought to you by :

Hello Omni Talk Fans! Groceryshop may have come and gone last week, but that doesn't mean that the Omni Talk content train plans to pull into the station anytime soon!

Because today we have for you the next installment in our special OmniStars Spotlight Podcast series, presented in partnership with Quorso, that features 7-Eleven's Chief Digital Officer Raghu Mahadevan.

7-Eleven has been raising the bar on convenience innovation at a pretty rapid pace and strengthening its position against the likes of Gopuff and Amazon quite well in the process, and we ask Raghu about all this and more in today's podcast.

You can listen to our podcast with Raghu by clicking here or on the big image at the top of this email.
