In this episode, I speak with David Lemley, president and chief strategist of Retail Vodoo, about the main external challenges brands face in their pursuit to stand out in overcrowded markets and how to overcome these challenges.

Learning to navigate external challenges is critical to success. Just as important, but often not addressed, is the ability to identify internal blocks or blind spots, that may be stopping brands to evolve or do what is needed to remain relevant and outlast competitors.
