This week’s guest is Matt Waller from New Roads Capital Partners and the University of Arkansas.  He has held various positions, including Dean, and taught for 30 years at the University of Arkansas, where he currently holds the William Dillard II Leadership Chair at the Sam M. Walton College of Business.  He is also a Strategic Advisor at NewRoad Capital Partners.  In our conversation, we talk mainly about the always evolving Retail Value Chain - how it has changed over the last 30 years and where we might expect it to go.  Matt also gives some examples of new start-ups in this space that bear watching.
