Listen Later

David and Jodi Harouche, co-founders of Multimedia Plus, have spent 29 years building technology for one of retail's most underinvested assets: the sales associate.

On this episode of Street Talk, they explain how their platform Insight turns in-between-customer time into competitive advantage — and why storytelling, not product specs, is whatseparates a great associate from a forgettable one. They also preview MMP AI Studio, a tool that generates branded product video in under 20 minutes from a single URL.

Plus: the story of JZIPs, the nonprofit they launched after their son Jordan's cancer diagnosis — 20,000 units and 52 hospitals in, and still going.
