The hosts and Mike explore the importance of synchronizing deliveries to minimize the number of trucks on the road, illustrating how this approach not only benefits retailers but significantly contributes to environmental sustainability.


As the conversation unfolds, Norm and Kevin delve into the psychological aspects of marketing, emphasizing how retailers can foster a sense of responsibility and pride among consumers regarding their purchasing decisions.

This shift presents a unique opportunity for brands to align their marketing strategies with the values of their customers.


The episode also tackles the pressing question of how marketing can evolve to effectively communicate these values to consumers. Norm and Kevin highlight the need for brands to make sustainability a core aspect of their messaging, ensuring that consumers feel a connection not only to the products they purchase but also to the positive impact those products can have on the environment. By integrating sustainability into their marketing strategies, retailers can cultivate loyalty and trust among consumers who are eager to support brands that prioritize the planet.

Michael Lovitch, MA is a former special education professional, over-educated grad student, and floundering tech sales guy who decided at the age of 34 to take the entrepreneurial path because nothing else was working. He started a publishing company in the psychology space that ended up being a 7-figure endeavor, then parlayed that into a physician-based nutritional supplement company (RealDose Nutrition) that ended up with annual revenues of $50 million dollars before he sold out his stake. Now, he is the co-founder of the Baby Bathwater Institute, a community that helps bootstrapped entrepreneurs navigate the crazy world of business ownership while having good times and making lifelong friendships.
