📝 Description
What if the supply chain wasn’t a cost center — but a growth engine?
Brittain Ladd — one of the most outspoken and visionary voices in retail, logistics, and supply-chain strategy — joins host John Ayers to break down how AI, automation, and autonomous systems are rewriting the rules of business. From Amazon’s logistics dominance to Walmart’s AI transformation and the coming disruption of DoorDash and Kroger, Ladd pulls no punches.
You’ll learn:
• Why “the purpose of a supply chain is to do one thing: enable growth.”
• How automation, robotics, and AI will collapse costs — and create billions.
• Why autonomous vans, humanoid robots, and “hailing a store” may soon replace last-mile delivery.
• What retail giants like Walmart, Target, and Kroger are still getting wrong.
• How AI taxation could fund universal basic income and redefine work.
This is a masterclass in disruption — from a Marine-turned-strategist who helped shape the future of retail and supply chain.
