Scot: [0:39] Jason and welcome back Jason Scott show listeners, Jason has been a while since we were able to get together with given the holiday season 2 vacations going on and then we had some guests in there that that's important topics you on the cover so we thought it would be a good time to go and catch up on some news there's been a fair amount going on in the world Lee Commerce as you haven't been at this for feels like forever kind of Summer's kind of quiet and then here in this kind of Q3. Is where it gets really newsie as we head into the house so we thought we'd go over some of that before we do Jason you have been a busy traveler I'll tell us about some of the tricks you been on. Jason: [1:26] Yeah yeah I have been on a couple trips full disclosure a number of them have been vacation and so I'm I'm a little proud I feel like you probably beat me on quality of summer vacation but I feel like I at least meet you on quantity of summer vacation. Scot: [1:41] Yeah yeah you were able to get a couple weeks in there and I'm I can go further because I don't have to carry a 8 lb 80 lb espresso machine with me I think that that kind of limits our options but so fly over to Europe and stuff so we're going to free you from the shackles of the espresso machine. Jason: [2:00] Exactly I don't know if you think you're joking or not but I did I took two vacations I visited my family in in San Diego for the 4th of July and I went to Upper Lake Michigan with my wife's family and the Upper Lake Michigan lake house is remote enough that I did have to bring my own espresso machine. Scot: [2:20] Oh I know I know I'm familiar. Jason: [2:22] But I'm calling it a big win I actually consumer protip. Years passed I bought the new Nespresso which is called the virtuoso which is this fancy or system and I was never actually that happy with the shots. Into this year I retired it and bought the older Nespresso original system. And much happier with the shots there's a much greater diversity of coffee available for its was actually able to buy. My Starbucks pods to go in that coffee shop by my lattes were both much better and this little town we we stay in North Point Court last year head Giro expresso machines in the town and they sure they had to poop so I feel like. Like it was all green light. Scot: [3:07] Nice nice you're you're making America better. Jason: [3:11] But so in between all of that Leisure activity I took the opportunity during the Heatwave to go to Las Vegas. For a new show that interact has launched this year called in RF next and they cleverly spell it like the Hipster kids NXT. Scot: [3:31] It's very cool to drop any kind of owls so kudos. Jason: [3:35] Exactly it sweet speak. And they the. Important to me because it's somewhat of the spiritual successor to the shop. Org annual Summits when shop.org used to be a separate entity from NRF. Into this was the first year of this new format it's in Las Vegas in the summer it's at the Four Seasons hotel which is like a kind of cool luxury hotel inside of Mandalay Bay. And it's less of a trade show there's no exhibit hall and more of a a conference with. Certain interesting approach to content curation what they do is they they have. Key notes that everyone attends on a topic and then they have breakout sessions which are deeper Dives on the topics from the keynote and you sort of pic
