Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

Retail leadership isn’t what it used to be — and neither are you.
After 30+ years of navigating the realities of store floors, boardrooms, restructures, and reinventions, I’ve learned this: the gap between what retail leaders need to grow and what companies actually provide is wider than ever. Promotions don’t come with clarity. Expectations rise, but context disappears. And while the metrics may shift, the pressure never does.
This podcast is for the retail leader who's already proven themselves — and still wants more.
This podcast is for the experienced retail leader who wants more — not more work, but more direction, more insight, and more impact.
I'm Steve Worthy — retail executive coach and founder of Worthy Retail Global. I’ve coached and developed thousands of leaders over three decades, and I created this podcast to give you the straight, strategic guidance I wish I had earlier in my career.
You’ve earned your position. Now let’s make sure you lead like it.

You're in something more. A feeling. A point of view. A brand that knows who it is. This episode is a love letter to those stores—and the people who know how to spot them. Steve sits down with two of his favorite retail minds (and friends), Jack Stratton and Ian Scott, for a fast-moving conversation that feels more like a pub chat than a panel. Together, they unpack what they’ve seen, what leaders keep missing, and why a well-done retail safari might be one of the most underused leadership tools in the industry. A deeper look at: Why the best stores aren't just places to shop—they're spaces that show you what matters now How curiosity is still one of the best skills a retail leader can have What most companies get wrong when rolling out tech, and how store teams quietly absorb the fallout The subtle power of retail culture—and what happens when you stop paying attention to it What Lush, IKEA, and Gentle Monster understand that many legacy brands still don’t You'll hear real stories, playful jabs, and honest truths about what it takes to build—and notice—a store that makes people feel something. For retail leaders wondering how to stay inspired, how to lead store teams with more empathy, or how to reconnect with the part of retail that still excites them—this episode is a reminder: stores are still cool. You just have to know where to look.

Send us a text When Retail Stops Growing You, What’s Next? No one tells you what happens when you outgrow your company. You hit every metric, you do everything right, and yet the growth stops. Your company still expects results, but they’re not developing you. They’re not stretching you. And if you’re being honest, you’re starting to feel it. The hard truth? Most senior leaders won’t admit when they’ve hit this wall. They keep showing up, running the same play, hoping something shifts. But real leadership isn’t just about surviving in a system that stopped investing in you, it’s about taking control of your next move. In this episode, I break down: The moment you realize your company isn’t developing you anymore Why top leaders don’t wait for permission to grow How to build your own “third place” for real strategic development This one’s for the leaders who know they need something different— but aren’t waiting around for someone else to create it.

Send us a text In today's episode, titled "HQ vs. Store: Bridging the Divide," we finish our two-part series - Everything Works at HQ! What can HQ learn from stores? Why is developing a common language between HQ and stores crucial for successful communication and relationship-building? What strategies can stores implement to better listen and execute the corporate strategy delivered by HQ? We're going to explore the critical need for building a shared vision between your retail stores and corporate headquarters. The secret lies with effective communication and alignment. Central to our discussion will be how stores and headquarters can develop a common language to enhance understanding, build relationships, and ensure that execution of corporate strategies at the store level is effective and seamless. I outline a practical 'speed dating' approach to connect the store level with various roles at HQ, emphasizing the value of rapport and communication to overcome the execution disconnect. I share vital insights that HQ wishes to convey to stores, and vice versa, shedding light on the assumptions that may hinder the rollout of new programs. The episode doesn't shy away from the complexities of inventory management or the pitfalls of poor communication techniques. Rather, I provide a framework to articulate the "why" behind KPIs and metrics, turning data literacy into a powerful tool for retail leaders. And finally, I examine the North Star concept. This is what it looks and feels like when HQ and Stores have are in alignment, collaborative, and both provide solutions-oriented leadership for mutual success. So grab your notepads and prepare to change the way you think about the relationship between HQ and Stores. This episode charts a new course to a more resilient, adaptable, and united future.

Send us a text US vs THEM! This battle in retail has been in existence since Retail began. US - Stores vs THEM - Home Office. Why can’t they see eye to eye? What has hindered these two teams from establishing a mutually beneficial and successful relationship? This two-part series - Everything Works at HQ. Part one titled “What HQ can learn from Stores”, is a candid exploration of the oft-overlooked wisdom that our stores hold for corporate headquarters. The goal is to bridge the gap between corporate strategies and the challenges our store teams face daily. I’ll unpack a crucial dialogue on the disconnect between HQ's drive for business growth and the on-the-ground reality of our stores. In this episode, I discuss the significance of effective communication, the urgent call for a human-centric approach to training and leadership, and the revelation of a leadership gap where store leaders yearn for real growth and development opportunities. I also help HQ and stores understand the need for "safe people" over just "safe spaces," pushing for transparency in feedback and a genuine connection between employees and management. Lastly, l explore the "North Star" concept, aiming for that unified vision that propels Home Office and Stores towards cohesive success. Are you a retail leader grappling with disconnection? Do you feel the stark contrast between your retail playbook and the actual game on the floor? Stay tuned as we dissect these challenges and offer actionable insights, including why external coaching may be the lifeline your team needs.

Listen in as we discuss the challenges and tips for new leaders in a new market, emphasizing the importance of assessing the market, understanding competition, building relationships, simplifying communication, and creating a positive culture! Key Highlights: [01:45] It’s a big deal when you get promoted into another market. [03:01] Dealing with fear and imposter syndrome as a new leader in a new market [05:35] The assessment process starts well before you take over the market [07:27] Assess yourself from a market standpoint as it relates to your competition [12:12] Even though you are promoted, you are not the new leader in influence [14:54] Keep your messaging & communication simple [21:36] You have to assess your team quickly! [31:23] Create a plan before you enter the market & adjust if necessary [36:51] Be adaptable as a retail leader [41:50] What does it look like when I'm being successful? Notable Quotes: In retail, your competition is probably one or two blocks down. Sometimes they're in the adjacent shopping center! Influence is gained. It is earned. It is not given. Listen more than you talk. Ask a question, wait for the response. You're not going to change the world in your very first 30 days. The worst thing that you can do is to have a number of people on your team that are just like you. If you stay plateaued and your team plateaus, you're doing your team a disservice. Be water, my friend. Change before it's necessary.
