Hello Omni Talk Fans! T-minus 24 hours and counting before Anne and I board a plane to head to our first in-person event since February 2020.

And, of course, I am talking about the one and only -- Groceryshop.

Thanks to our sponsors, Cleveron and UntieNots, we plan to bring you a veritable sh*tload of awesome content all week long. You can expect great podcasts from us each and every day of the show, so keep a look out for Omni Talk in your inboxes all next week.

Now, to the moment you all have been waiting for . . . this week's Fast Five podcast is here!

In this week's Fast Five Podcast, A&M's David Ritter and Kristin Kohler Burrows stop by to debate:

- What Amazon's latest moves to increase wages and offer free college tuition for its employees signal for the rest of the retail industry.

- The recent layoffs at Casper and whether they are a canary in the coal mine for other DTC brands or simply an isolated event.

- Amazon mega-roller-upper Thrasio's recent $100 million spending spree and what it could mean for the CPG industry.

- Peloton's overt move into private label apparel.

- And, close with a discussion on buyers' clubs through the examination lens of Beauty Pie, a buyers' club in the health and wellness space that just raised $100 million.

There's all that plus taco subscription runs to the border and what we think is also likely fake news from Deutsche bank on the size of the Walmart+ subscription base.
