Episode 1219: In a market dominated by glamorous mega-caps and AI hyperscalers, small-caps just had their best first half in 35 years.  So today we revisit Ann’s January conversation with Manny Weintraub, Principal of Cannell & Spears.  Manny explains how he defines the category, why we may be at “peak tech” and how simply buying a basket of small caps through an ETF may not be the best approach.  It’s excellent context for the “revenge of the non-nerds” gains that we’ve seen so far this year. www.brewmarkets.com  Subscribe to the Brew Markets newsletter: https://www.morningbrew.com/brew-mark...

Episode 215: Today, we step back from the headlines to explore one of the biggest questions in business: How does an industry leader stay on top when the world changes around it? With retailers like Macy's, Victoria's Secret and Lululemon all working to reinvent themselves… or rekindle what worked previously… we look back at the company that once defined American retail: Sears.

John sits down with Jacob Goldstein – former Planet Money co-host and host of Business History and What's Your Problem – to unpack Sears' rise and fall, why Walmart was better positioned for the next wave of disruption and what that history reveals about today's battle between Amazon, Walmart and Costco.  Visit: Aflac.com/BrewMarkets Check Out: Business History YouTube www.brewmarkets.com  Subscribe to the Brew Markets newsletter: https://www.morningbrew.com/brew-mark...
