Episode notes

This week on the retailgentic podcast, we have an experiment for you. NRF concluded Tuesday Jan 13th and Scot's good friend and podcast partner over at the Jason and Scot show, Jason Goldberg (Chief Digital Commerce Officer at Publicis) was invited to ‘tie the bow’ on the conference in the last keynote: Commerce Disrupted: Rise of the AI Native Consumer. This episode is the audio from that presentation on 1/13/26. Jason covers: Agentic commerce, defined clearly: not “AI efficiencies,” but new consumer behaviors (and the full “iceberg” of influence, not just robot-takes-card transactions). Is it hype or historic? Jason frames the debate (skeptics vs believers) and uses live audience polling to set the stakes. A disruption of discovery: the decline of “saw in store,” then “search,” then “social”, and now the robot becomes the front door. The cautionary tale (Tudor Ice): why incumbents often miss the next business model, even when they dominated the last one. Retail growth is concentrated: a few giants capture a huge share of growth, while challengers (Shein/Temu/TikTok Shop) rewrite the playbook.
