Bankruptcies, VC tumult & TikTok: The Modern Retail Podcast year in review

The retail world changed a lot in the last twelve months.

Some companies launched, others went bankrupt. Several brands expanded while more than a few contracted. This week on the Modern Retail Podcast, we decided to look back at the biggest themes we observed this year.

Host Cale Guthrie Weissman is joined by senior reporters Melissa Daniels and Gabriela Barkho. The three discuss major trends they saw in 2023 and what it means for the year to come. These include the rise in retail bankruptcies, the current state of venture capital and payment trends on the horizon.

While we don't have a crystal ball, we do have data from the past year to inform insights about the next twelve months.
