Retail Leadership with Steve Worthy
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.
Retail Leadership with Steve Worthy
Most Retailers Are Not AI-Ready!
Everyone’s talking about AI, but few retail leaders are asking the deeper question:
Is your company truly AI-ready—or just overwhelmed with data?
In this episode, I sit down with, Abhijit Patharkar, the co-founder of Nexlytix to unpack the unspoken barriers to effective AI in retail: siloed systems, misaligned storytelling, broken decision-making, and the myth that more dashboards mean more clarity.
We cover:
- What AI readiness really looks like
- Why storytelling must change based on who's reading the data
- The danger of building AI on broken foundations
- How leaders can shift from chasing tech to shaping strategy
If you're leading in retail and trying to make sense of AI’s role in your future—you need this conversation.
Listen now and rethink how your business makes decisions.
