Tim Zawislack with Dominick Miserandino: Is AI Making You Smarter or Replacing You?

Dominick Miserandino is a 7x CEO, internet pioneer, and one of the sharpest operator minds in retail and media. He founded one of the web’s earliest publications in 1995, ran RetailWire, one of the most respected forums in retail, and now leads RTM Nexus, a platform at the intersection of retail, technology and media. He has coached over 200 CEOs, advised hundreds of startups, and built and sold multiple companies across a 30 year career that started at NASA, Morgan Stanley and the Wall Street Journal.

In this episode we go deep on what it actually takes to build and run a business in today’s environment, where Amazon, AI and the experiential economy are colliding in ways most brands are completely unprepared for.

Here is some of what we cover:

🛒 The Amazon paradox every brand is living right now and why most are losing

☕ What a coffee shop selling drinks in pumpkins teaches us about competing with giants

📱 Why AI accelerates great operators and exposes weak ones

📞 The dead simple customer outreach move that drove record sales at AdoramaPix

🤝 Why the 30-minute meeting is one of the biggest productivity killers in business today

⚡ How society, not technology, is actually dictating where retail goes next

This is the kind of conversation that reminds you why operator experience and pattern recognition still matter more than any tool, platform or trend.
