Is Your Brand Built to Last or Just Built to Sell?

Most brands treat retail as a "shiny" trophy, but the reality is that expansion often breaks your margins before it builds your brand. In this RETHINK Retail sit-down, host Gail Rodwell-Simon talks with Brett Gallagher, COO at Nulastin, about the disciplined path from a 2010s DTC startup to a true omnichannel player.

They dig into the "ugly" side of growth: why your house must be in order before you expand and how to prove your brand actually matters when you aren't "screaming into Meta".

The Reality Check:

- The distractions of retail: Why opening new channels can drain your core team if you aren't ready.

- The Brand Passport: How to make your customer reviews and social proof travel across every platform.

- Testing your reach: Using marketplaces to prove your marketing has omnichannel "pull".

- The 2-week rule: Why waiting for quarterly board meetings to check your metrics is a mistake in today's market.

Stop the "growth at all costs" cycle. Listen to the conversation to see how to scale without losing your soul or your profit.
