They also examine Wayfair's unique inventory model, its measured expansion strategy, and what this means for the future of omnichannel retail. ▶️ Watch the full Fast Five episode here: https://youtu.be/-F7f2EFXG9k This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
