Retail Therapy 054: Canoe Club
Canoe Club's Timothy and Chase join us for some mogging and In/Out lists.
Listen to Retail Therapy on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube (see above), and anywhere else podcasts are found.
This week, we were blessed with a rare guest appearance on Retail Therapy. Timothy and Chase from Canoe Club (and the accompanying Customer Service podcast) dropped in for a little home-and-home.
While this week’s listener digest will be short and sweet due to the conversational nature of the show, here are some highlights you don’t want to miss:
Buying for a store like Canoe Club: What goes into selecting and recruiting lines to be sold in their Boulder store and online, and why Barrett’s wishes for Canoe Club to carry Purple Label probably won’t happen.
How we all got into #fashion in the first place. From working in retail, skating, punk/hardcore music, and more.
Timothy and Chase’s In/Out Lists: It’s not a good time to have an open floor plan, send texts that aren’t group texts, or have noise-cancelling AirPod Max headies.
This ridiculous article on young men diving into ‘looksmaxxing’ and ‘how to be hot.’ Just The New York Times doing New York Times things.
But again, this week was such a nice, casual, and free-flowing conversation that it’s probably best to simply dive in and enjoy.
As a special thank you to the Retail Therapy community, they’ve given us an early access code for their Black Friday sale that’ll get you 30% off with code CCEARLYBF.
Of course, we closed things out with our wishlists and imminent cops.
For 2023, we’ve hit the reset button on our wishlists and made them a bit more digestible for the year ahead. To access the complete version of our 2022 wishlists, look no further than our final Listener Digest of 2022. New items in bold.
