- 27:29very
- 27:30difficult
- 27:30business

- 27:37times,
- 27:37they've
- 27:37had

- 27:38times.
- 27:39But
- 27:39it
- 27:39is
- 27:39a
- 27:39very,
- 27:40very
- 27:41specific
- 27:42type

- 27:45you
- 27:46have
- 27:46these
- 27:46third
- 27:47parties
- 27:48that
- 27:48it's
- 27:49basically
- 27:49out
- 27:49of
- 27:50your
- 27:50control.
- 27:51Your
- 27:51destiny
- 27:52may
- 27:52be
- 27:52out
- 27:52of
- 27:53your
- 27:53control.
- 27:53It's
- 27:54been
- 27:54highly
- 27:54publicized
- 27:55when
- 27:56Nike
- 27:56wanted
- 27:56to
- 27:56pull
- 27:57out
- 27:57of
- 27:57the
- 27:57market,
- 27:57Foot
- 27:58Locker's
- 27:58business
- 27:59had
- 27:59a
- 27:59precipitous
- 28:00drop
- 28:00almost
- 28:01immediately.
- 28:02When
- 28:02Nike
- 28:02wanted
- 28:03to
- 28:03expand
- 28:03the
- 28:04marketplace,
- 28:05and
- 28:05I'll
- 28:05call
- 28:06it
- 28:06use
- 28:06Foot
- 28:07Locker
- 28:07to
- 28:08gain
- 28:08market
- 28:08share,
- 28:09it
- 28:09was
- 28:09great.
- 28:10But
- 28:10the
- 28:10minute
- 28:10that
- 28:10wasn't
- 28:11great,
- 28:11it
- 28:12was
- 28:12a
- 28:12problem
- 28:12for
- 28:13Foot
- 28:13Lockers.
- 28:13So
- 28:13I
- 28:13think
- 28:14there's
- 28:14some
- 28:14huge
- 28:15inherent
- 28:16risks
- 28:16for
- 28:17Dicks.
- 28:17So
- 28:18that's
- 28:18number
- 28:18one.
- 28:18That's
- 28:19why
- 28:19I
- 28:19hated
- 28:19it.
- 28:20Then
- 28:20I
- 28:21started
- 28:21doing
- 28:21a
- 28:21little
- 28:21bit
- 28:22more,
- 28:22and
- 28:23I
- 28:23flipped.
- 28:24So
- 28:24I
- 28:24started
- 28:24doing
- 28:25a
- 28:25little
- 28:25bit
- 28:25more
- 28:25research
- 28:26on
- 28:27the
- 28:27size
- 28:28and
- 28:28scale
- 28:28of
- 28:29Dicks.
- 28:30And
- 28:30I
- 28:30was
- 28:30a
- 28:30little
- 28:31mistaken
- 28:31in
- 28:32understanding
- 28:32how
- 28:33large
- 28:33they
- 28:33are.
- 28:34But
- 28:34a
- 28:34pretty
- 28:35big
- 28:35entity.
- 28:36I
- 28:36think
- 28:36they're
- 28:37approaching
- 28:37$20
- 28:38billion.
- 28:38Right.
- 28:39So
- 28:39at
- 28:39that
- 28:40size,
- 28:42organic
- 28:43growth
- 28:43is
- 28:44difficult.
- 28:44Right.
- 28:45One
- 28:45up,
- 28:461%
- 28:46comp.
- 28:47Down
- 28:471%
- 28:47comp.
- 28:48You're
- 28:49kind
- 28:49of
- 28:49happy
- 28:50but
- 28:50if
- 28:51you're
- 28:51down
- 28:515%
- 28:52comp
- 28:52in
- 28:53a
- 28:53tough
- 28:53year,
- 28:54that
- 28:54is
- 28:54a
- 28:54massive
- 28:55hit
- 28:55to
- 28:55your
- 28:55revenue.
- 28:56So
- 28:57I
- 28:57like
- 28:58the
- 28:58fact
- 28:58that
- 28:58they
- 28:59actually
- 28:59acquired
- 29:00an
- 29:00adjacent
- 29:01business
- 29:02that's

- 29:03in
- 29:03a
- 29:03multibillion
- 29:04dollar
- 29:05revenue
- 29:05stream.
- 29:06I
- 29:06thought
- 29:07that
- 29:07was
- 29:07a
- 29:07very
- 29:07easy
- 29:08pickup.
- 29:08And
- 29:09in
- 29:10rereading
- 29:10the
- 29:10releases,
- 29:11either
- 29:11the
- 29:11CFO
- 29:12or
- 29:12the
- 29:12CEO
- 29:13said,
- 29:13we
- 29:14are
- 29:14going
- 29:14to
- 29:14add
- 29:14in,
- 29:15I
- 29:15think,
- 29:154.5%
- 29:16comp
- 29:17sales
- 29:18in
- 29:18the
- 29:18first
- 29:18year,
- 29:19which
- 29:19I
- 29:19liked
- 29:20a
- 29:20lot.
- 29:21So
- 29:21it's
- 29:22so
- 29:23number
- 29:23three.
- 29:23My
- 29:24conclusion
- 29:24is
- 29:26the
- 29:26only
- 29:26way
- 29:27they
- 29:27will
- 29:27be

- 34:50One
- 34:51is

- 39:45to
- 39:45meet
- 39:45for
- 39:45it.
- 39:45So
- 39:45it's
- 39:46like
- 39:46your
- 39:46location
- 39:46actually
- 39:47has
- 39:47to
- 39:47be
- 39:47better.
- 39:47Your
- 39:47latency
- 39:48and
- 39:48speed
- 39:48updates
- 39:48have
- 39:49to
- 39:49be
- 39:49much
- 39:49faster.
- 39:50Your
- 39:50detect
- 39:51rate
- 39:51has
- 39:51to
- 39:51be
- 39:51super
- 39:51high.
- 39:53So
- 39:53we've
- 39:54architected
- 39:54our
- 39:54system
- 39:55to
- 39:55have
- 39:55the
- 39:55capability
- 39:56to
- 39:56enable
- 39:56autonomous
- 39:56checkup
- 39:57from
- 39:57the
- 39:57existing
- 39:57infrastructure
- 39:58that
- 39:58we
- 39:58deploy
- 39:58to
- 39:58retailers
- 39:59from
- 39:59today.
- 40:01And
- 40:02that
- 40:02has
- 40:03really
- 40:03driven
- 40:04core
- 40:04technological
- 40:04improvement.
- 40:05And
- 40:05one
- 40:06of
- 40:06the
- 40:06things
- 40:06that
- 40:06we've
- 40:07done
- 40:07differently
- 40:07is
- 40:08there
- 40:08were
- 40:08some
- 40:09companies
- 40:09that
- 40:09did
- 40:09this
- 40:09back
- 40:09in
- 40:09the
- 40:10day.
- 40:10Thingmagic
- 40:11had
- 40:11a
- 40:12software
- 40:12defined
- 40:12radio
- 40:13approach
- 40:13where
- 40:13they
- 40:14could
- 40:14basically
- 40:14deploy
- 40:14hardware,
- 40:15they
- 40:15could
- 40:15update
- 40:15the
- 40:15signal
- 40:16processing
- 40:16remotely.
- 40:17You
- 40:17weren't
- 40:17stuck
- 40:17with
- 40:18someone's
- 40:18reader
- 40:18chip.
- 40:19That's
- 40:20more
- 40:20the
- 40:20approach
- 40:20that
- 40:21we've
- 40:21taken.
- 40:21So
- 40:22we
- 40:22control
- 40:23everything
- 40:23from
- 40:23the
- 40:23ground
- 40:24up,
- 40:24not
- 40:24just
- 40:25the
- 40:25hardware
- 40:26and
- 40:26the
- 40:26signal
- 40:26processing,
- 40:26but
- 40:27also
- 40:27the
- 40:27software
- 40:27layer.
- 40:28So
- 40:28we
- 40:28really
- 40:29become,
- 40:29you
- 40:29know,
- 40:30superior
- 40:30core
- 40:30technology.
- 40:31That's
- 40:32really
- 40:32just
- 40:32like

- 40:35don't
- 40:35need
- 40:35to
- 40:35worry
- 40:35about
- 40:36integrating
- 40:36and
- 40:36cobbling

- 51:15Completely
- 51:15dark.
- 51:16So
- 51:16if

- 55:06Hamptons,
- 55:06but
- 55:06clearly
- 55:07that's

- 55:14Dollar
- 55:15Tree.
- 55:15Right?
- 55:15I
- 55:16mean
- 55:16the,
- 55:16the,
- 55:17that
- 55:18story

- 55:20it's
- 55:20not
- 55:21successful.
- 55:22I
- 55:22also
- 55:22think
- 55:23Target
- 55:24is
- 55:24best
- 55:25when
- 55:26they
- 55:26are
- 55:26sort
- 55:27of
- 55:27the
- 55:27antidote
- 55:28to
- 55:28Walmart.
- 55:29Like
- 55:29when
- 55:29Target
- 55:30is
- 55:30Walmart,
- 55:31you
- 55:31don't
- 55:31need
- 55:32Target,
- 55:32you
- 55:32have
- 55:33Walmart.
- 55:33And
- 55:33Walmart
- 55:34is
- 55:34fantastic
- 55:34at
- 55:34it.
- 55:35Target
- 55:35is,
- 55:35has
- 55:35always
- 55:35been
- 55:36a
- 55:36step,
- 55:37maybe
- 55:37two,
- 55:38maybe
- 55:38three
- 55:38above
- 55:39Walmart.
- 55:40It's
- 55:40still
- 55:41sort
- 55:41of
- 55:41similar
- 55:41but
- 55:42it's
- 55:42always
- 55:42been
- 55:43going
- 55:43back
- 55:44to
- 55:44the
- 55:44ads
- 55:44in
- 55:45the,
- 55:45the
- 55:45early
- 55:452000s.
- 55:46Target,
- 55:47not
- 55:47target.
- 55:48So
- 55:49it
- 55:49was
- 55:49a
- 55:49great
- 55:49access
- 55:50point
- 55:50but
- 55:51it
- 55:51provided
- 55:51a
- 55:51different
- 55:52experience
- 55:52in
- 55:52my
- 55:53opinion
- 55:53than
- 55:53Walmart.
- 55:54So
- 55:54if
- 55:54they're
- 55:54looking
- 55:55to
- 55:55expand
- 55:55and
- 55:56if
- 55:56you
- 55:56read
- 55:56between
- 55:56the
- 55:57lines,
- 55:57that's
- 55:57basically
- 55:58what
- 55:58they're

- 55:59to
- 55:59head
- 56:00with
- 56:00Walmart.
- 56:00I
- 56:00think
- 56:01think
- 56:01that's
- 56:01a
- 56:01strategic
- 56:02error.
- 56:02They
- 56:03need
- 56:03to
- 56:03really
- 56:03separate
- 56:04themselves,
- 56:05do
- 56:05what
- 56:05they
- 56:05do
- 56:06best
- 56:06and
- 56:07is
- 56:07putting
- 56:07a
- 56:08Target
- 56:09in
- 56:09a
- 56:09rural
- 56:10market
- 56:10and
- 56:10I
- 56:10think
- 56:11of
- 56:11a
- 56:11place
- 56:11where
- 56:12we
- 56:12go
- 56:12on
- 56:12vacation
- 56:13sometimes
- 56:13in
- 56:13the
- 56:14summer
- 56:14up
- 56:14in
- 56:14rural
- 56:15Maine.
- 56:15There's
- 56:16a
- 56:16dollar
- 56:16General.
- 56:17Are
- 56:17they

- 56:18That's
- 56:19never
- 56:19going
- 56:19to
- 56:19work.
- 56:20So
- 56:20I
- 56:20think
- 56:21it's
- 56:21really,
- 56:22it's
- 56:23interesting
- 56:24but
- 56:24without
