Hello Omni Talk Fans! It was a short week here at Omni Talk HQ, which means Anne and I were equal parts crazy and zany in today’s podcast as we discussed everything from pawn shops to cooler doors.

In Today’s Fast Five Podcast, Anne and I:

- Kicked the tires on Kroger’s 500 store Cooler Screens rollout

- Got jazzed up about Instagram’s new search marketing API

- Hoped like hell that Ulta’s decision to place product behind locked doors ends up heralding a new wave of retail innovation

- Wholeheartedly endorsed the summer as the “Summer of DashPass”

- And quizzically examined what would motivate a Stanford grad to, one, reimagine the pawn shop and, two, to name his startup, “Pesto.”

There’s all that, plus Sloane Peterson’s white leather jacket, dudes named “Lucien,” and the Judy Garland heist of the century.

Be careful out there,

P.S. Murder? Intrigue?

Our most recent podcast with Openforce CEO Wendy Greenland has all that and more.

After all, we didn't call the episode "Revealing The Untold Truths Of Last-Mile Delivery" for nothing.
