Hello Omni Talks Fans! Hot dogs, cotton candy, and sore shoulders sum up my Memorial Day Weekend. Not necessarily in that order.

While Anne spent the weekend shopping and spa-ing with her girlfriends, I spent the weekend cleaning out old crap that hasn't seen the light of day since Eagle Eye Cherry was topping charts.

And, speaking of topping the charts, our latest Spotlight Series podcast is an all-timer!

We interviewed Openforce CEO Wendy Greenland about all the untold truths surrounding last-mile delivery that no one talks about at retail executive cocktail parties (and with good reason). It is a podcast full of so many "uh-oh's" and "watch outs" that it will leave your head spinning and make you think twice about ever delivering goods without the best of the best technology by your side.

You can listen to our absolutely fascinating discussion with Wendy by clicking here or on the big image at the top of this email.
