Welcome to the second episode of CX Update, my new monthly overview of interesting, inspiring and extraordinary CX stories. In this month’s show I talk about how companies like Enjoy are exploring a new frontier in retail: the consumer’s home. I also share some great examples of organisations that use their CX to create a positive change in the world, and I take a look at some of the cool things that major brands are doing in the Metaverse. Enjoy!

What a pleasure to talk to Ron Johnson, Enjoy's CEO and co-founder whom I greatly admire. I've mentioned his extremely interesting retail concept - a mobile retail story - already in many of my keynotes. In this podcast, Ron and I discuss the ‘Commerce at Home’ trend and what makes the CX of Enjoy so unique. Instead of wanting you to visit their stores, brands bring the store to your doorstep. As Ron says, our home will become the center of shopping: “A decade from now, every premium brand will have some type of ‘Commerce at Home’ experience.”

Welcome to the first episode of my new monthly video: CX Update! In this new format, I’ll be sharing CX stories that strike or inspire me. I'm starting off with how removing barriers is essential to offer real innovation, why a mix of convenience and entertainment is the future of CX, the impact of employee shortages on the delivery model and the crucial difference between customer empathy and customer compassion. Hope you like it!
