“I have had the pleasure of working closely with Doug since 2005 as a licensee of the La-Z-Boy brand for the outdoor living category. I have learned a great deal from Doug both personally and professionally and our relationship is a key milestone in my career. Doug's ability to show aggressiveness when opportunities arise are uniquely coupled with his patience during uncertain times - a powerful and uncommon combination. His initiatives in retail, online, international and the recent partnership with Brooke Shields have proven to be very favorable for our continued success with the brand as a licensee. I am blessed to have such a long relationship with Doug and I look forward to continuing to build the future together.”

The retail landscape is constantly changing as retailers prepare for the second half of the year while others file for bankruptcy. Early forecasts remain conservative as it appears that retailers will need to tighten their belts even more to increase profitability. #retailers #profitability

A Year from Now You May Wish You Had Started Today Macy's (M) Stock: Falling Today Amidst Industry Challenges and Shifting Consumer Preferences In this fast-paced retail landscape, Macy's (M) stock has experienced a decline in recent trading sessions. It is essential for investors to understand the underlying factors contributing to this downward trend and consider potential investment implications. Retail Industry Challenges The retail industry has been facing numerous challenges in recent years, driven by evolving consumer behavior and increasing competition from e-commerce platforms. Macy's, being one of the largest department store chains in the United States, is not immune to these challenges. Shifting Consumer Preferences Consumers' shopping preferences have been shifting towards online platforms, seeking convenience and competitive prices. This change in behavior has forced traditional brick-and-mortar retailers like Macy's to adapt and invest in their online presence to remain competitive. Impact of COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the struggles faced by the retail industry, including Macy's. Temporary closures, social distancing measures, and economic uncertainty have significantly impacted sales and profitability. Future Prospects and Investor Considerations While the current outlook may seem challenging for Macy's, it is important to note that the company has been actively implementing strategies to adapt and recover. However, investors should carefully evaluate the long-term growth potential, competitive positioning, and financial health of the company before making any investment decisions. As an investor, it is crucial to stay informed about market trends, company developments, and industry dynamics. Consulting with a knowledgeable investment advisor can help you make informed decisions aligned with your financial goals, both in terms of your HSA account and overall portfolio diversification. Act now! Don't let the Fear of Missing Out hold you back from taking advantage of potential investment opportunities. Remember, your Health Savings Account (HSA) can be a valuable tool for growing your wealth while simultaneously addressing healthcare expenses. #HSA #Investing #Healthcare #Health #Family #Wellness 💪📈💰

I had an incredible conversation with Eugene Alletto, CEO of BEDGEAR, about how he is additive versus disruptive to the bedding industry! Eugene's journey from a million-dollar salesperson to an industry innovator is nothing short of inspiring. He shares valuable insights on the importance of education, innovation, and being additive rather than disruptive. Tune in, and leave your favorite quote in the comments.
