Join Jason and Scot as they celebrate recording their first live episode in three years for the Jason & Scot Show! Recorded on Tuesday, September 30th, 2025, this episode captures the excitement of being back together in person and highlights their dynamic discussions on the current state of retail and upcoming trends.

From reminiscing about their podcasting journey since its launch in November 2015, Jason and Scot dive into the latest happenings in the retail space, especially from the two shows they recently attended: NRF Europe and Retail Club. Jason shares insights from his time at NRF Europe in Paris, where he participated in engaging discussions about retail innovations and the necessity of multi-lingual capabilities in a diverse market. With impressive attendance and notable exhibitors, he reflects on the event's success and the importance of adapting to multiple regional markets within Europe.

Meanwhile, Scot delves into the Retail Club event held at Huntington Beach, California, highlighting its unique vibes with a beachside setup and a focus on AI-driven retail discussions. The event offered a refreshing departure from traditional conferences, focusing on interactive workshops and relationships rather than panels. Together, they explore the implications of AI in retail, including its transformative power over various operational aspects, and the importance of adapting to the evolving marketplace landscape.

Jason and Scot also engage in a lively discussion about AI's role in shaping customer experiences, their predictions for the future, and how retailers can effectively harness these technologies while remaining competitive. They examine innovations such as electronic shelf labels, which are becoming increasingly prevalent in stores. Scot can't help but reference his ongoing obsession with the concept of “Agentic Native Vertical Brands,” hinting at the evolving terminology in the retail sphere.

In the latter part of the episode, they discuss their experiences at GroceryShop, where significant trends are emerging in grocery retail—especially regarding macroeconomic conditions, emerging AI technologies, and the vital role of retail media networks. The conversations shed light on how AI can enhance not only the customer experience but also the operational efficiencies of retailers. The broad-impact implications of GLP-1 medications on consumer habits are discussed as well, marking a notable trend in grocery shopping behaviors.

Towards the end of the episode, Jason raises his anticipation for the upcoming trends in commerce, making it clear that the integration of AI into the shopping experience will continue to redefine how retailers operate. From discussions around inventory management, product recommendations, and dynamic pricing to the emergence of social commerce, this episode encapsulates the cutting-edge of the retail landscape.
