275. Is Brick and Mortar Retail Dying? What the Data Actually Says

Is brick-and-mortar retail really dying? After months analyzing 13 years of U.S. Census retail data, this episode uncovers Kathy's new report available for download, "Brick and Mortar Independent Retail Isn't Dying. It's Misdiagnosed." that covers what's actually happening behind the headlines.

If you own, work in, or care about indie retail, this conversation will challenge the narrative you've been told.
