## Resource

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down with the leaders of Ulta Beauty to discuss the massive shift happening in retail and leadership. I encourage you to stop weaponizing fear and start focusing on "Kind Candor" to build long-term trust with your teams. I also discuss the "Barbell Effect" of retail—where high-tech AI meets high-touch analog—and why physical stores must evolve into experiential content studios to survive. You’ll learn about: The Concept of Kind Candor Why I'm Bullish on Analog Experiences How to Eliminate Fear in the Workplace The Future of Live Shopping and Content Studios Why You Need to Give Yourself More Grace
