For those who didn’t attend Shoptalk in Las Vegas or missed my session, I gave a talk on 8:30 Monday morning about Implementing Headless eCommerce with my friend Dimple Rao, VP of Product Management and User Experience Design at Chico’s FAS. Read my top three takeaways from the talk!

In this article, we talk about:

1. Nike and FootLocker have revitalized their partnership and Nike merchandise should start appearing again in Footlocker stores around Christmas.

2. Footlocker is closing the Lady Footlocker, Foot Action and Eastbay brands in North America.

3. Foot Locker is closing 400 stores in class C and D malls.

4. The company is focused on developing a store of the future concept which will launch in New York City in 2024.

This post provides guidelines for evaluating job opportunities, such as trusting one's gut, considering the expertise of bosses and investors, looking at the capital raised relative to revenue, understanding quarterly cash balances, knowing the company's bets, understanding the ideal customer profile, and considering personal downside risk.
