Welcome Back to Season 2!

I'm kicking off Season 2 with a personal update and a few exciting announcements about what’s ahead for the Retail Media Breakfast Club. After an unexpected twist involving a Green Card win, a year of digital nomad life, and a less-than-glamorous welcome back to the States, I’m finally settled and ready to dive back into the world of retail media. But before we return to regularly scheduled programming, I’m reflecting on the lessons learned, the realities of remote life, and why community has never mattered more.

In this episode, I’m sharing our wild reentry story—from rat-infested storage units to the joys (and chaos) of rebuilding home life from scratch. Plus, I’ve got some exciting updates to share: a new sponsor, local meetups in Atlanta, and a call for brand-side panelists for upcoming shows. If you’re part of the retail media world, you won’t want to miss what’s coming next.
