Season one delivered more insight, practical advice, and behind-the-scenes truth than we could possibly contain in individual episodes. So in this special mash-up episode, we pulled together the most valuable, most actionable, and most candid moments from four standout leaders across the retail, CPG, supply chain, and marketing sectors.

These are the insights leaders rarely get to say out loud in a formal interview setting—but absolutely wish candidates knew.

This episode features advice from:

  • Julian Semer, Director of In-Store Retail Media at Albertsons
  • Parag Shah, Co-Founder of Think Blue and former merchant-side executive at Wakefern and Giant
  • Jackie Doyle, VP of Supply Chain Transformation at fairlife
  • Candace Pappas, SVP of Marketing at Blake’s Beverage Co.
