The raw truth about building a $1.7 Billion Retail Empire.

Scaling a business isn’t just about the wins. In our latest episode, Linda Johanson James (CEO of International Retail Group) shares the raw truth behind her journey from working the floor at Dillard’s out of necessity, to operating 600 global store locations and 1,500 automated retail spots.

We dive into: 
👉 The massive failure of trying to launch 120 stores in 60 days. 
👉 The “Brand Trap” and the biggest mistakes CEOs make with customer loyalty. 
👉 Why true retail success relies on human connection, not just AI.

Whether you operate online, in a kiosk, or want to expand your brand to the US, Linda’s insights are pure gold.
