Potential Acquisitions and the Evolution of Retail

Scott shares his thoughts on the possibility of Twitter acquiring TikTok and proposes a company that he thinks would be a better acquirer. Scott also addresses Amazon wanting to turn abandoned JCPenney and Sears stores into fulfillment centers. His main takeaway — warehouse space is the new black. 

Then, Joel Stein, an American journalist and author, joins Scott to discuss his latest book, “In Defense of Elitism.” Joel gives us the definition of elitism and explains how it’s playing out in our political environment. 

Office Hours: SPACs, how a company like Kohl’s can compete with the retail giants, and what skills make an employee stand out.          

Joel's podcast recommendation: "The Good Fight" hosted by Yascha Mounk.
