Hello Omni Talk Fans!?As this email hits your inboxes, Anne and I will be 30,000 feet above the Rocky Mountains on our way to the Manifest Conference in Las Vegas.

We have a great slate of interviews set to come your way?with the help and support of Harbor Lockers by Luxer One, who have signed up to be our livestream partner all week long.

Check out who is already on the schedule with us:

• Anna Farberov, General Manager, PepsiCo Labs
• Justin Brown, Chief Supply Chain Officer, Dollar Shave Club

Along with the architect of American Eagle's much discussed frenemy network himself:

Knowing Anne and me, don't be surprised if we have a few more surprises up our sleeves, too :)
