Hello, and welcome back to The Future STIR!

This week, we present Part Deux of our interview with co-founder and CEO of Mappedin, Hongwei Liu. While MappedIn has made the indoors navigable, they've also created the capability for retailers to unleash powerful new insights about shoppers and they choices they make. Hongwei also chats with Greg and Ben about where he sees the retail experience going in the future. SPOILER ALERT: The future of brick and mortar shopping is going to be pretty amazing.

As part of their typical discussion of Buzzworthy Hot Topics, you'll find Ben and Greg talking about the rebirth of a somewhat-creepy toy from the 80's and the latest attempt by the State of California to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a rather unique---and funny--way.

So, tune in to episode 15 and enjoy your weekly dose of The Future STIR!!
