À propos de cet audio

 The House Industry Podcast is where the industry pulls up a chair — and gets real about what actually drives growth.

I’m Doug Murless, and this is the insider’s playbook for brand leaders, category managers, retail strategists, data pros, and executives who want the pulse of what's happening in Housewares.

We dig into Amazon algorithms, Walmart trends, Target strategy, margin pressure, private label, tariffs, freight shifts — the forces that truly move product and make or break your next line review.

No fluff.
No recycled trade show soundbites.
Just candid, practical conversations with people who understand both sides of the retailer table — and are ready to share what’s actually happening. And we don’t stay in one aisle.

Some of the best houseware ideas are hiding in pet, sporting goods, and other high-performance categories — so we bring those perspectives in and translate them for housewares.

Whether you’re prepping for a trade show, launching a new item, or walking into your next buyer meeting, our goal is to give you insights you can use in your business and have some fun along the way.

If you’re ready to outthink the competition, hit SUBSCRIBE.

  • Move at the New Pace of Retail - Walmart Data Ventures Interview with Thomas Reali

    Move at the New Pace of Retail - Walmart Data Ventures Interview with Thomas Reali
    Feb 26 2026
    Retail isn’t slowing down—and neither is the data behind it. In this episode, I’m joined by Thomas Reali from Walmart Data Ventures to talk about the new pace of retail and what it means for brands selling into large retailers.

    We explore how data has shifted from backward-looking reporting to forward-looking decision intelligence—and why that shift is separating high-performing suppliers from the rest of the pack. Thomas explains how brands can:
    • Gain clearer visibility into performance drivers
    • Make faster, more confident decisions
    • Strengthen collaboration with retail partners
    • Identify growth opportunities hidden in their own data
    This is a practical, forward-looking conversation for brand leaders, sales teams, and data professionals who want to stop guessing and start executing with precision. If you're in the business of retail sales growth, this one’s worth a careful listen.
