Retail Therapy is where our time & money go
Join John Brewton of Operating by John Brewton and me for The Return Window.

The Return Window is what happens next
Here’s what I don’t know: what John is bringing. I never do — that’s the fun part. On this special holiday episode, we’ll talk about gifts buying rejects and regrets. All in the spirit of finding something they won’t want to return.
That’s The Return Window: how we deal with everything Substack told us we needed.
Three segments

Return Window: the rejects we wasted time and money on and now have to get rid of. Consider this a public service announcement to our future selves.
Final Sale: the shit we’re stuck with. No returns, no exchanges. Not even the annoying store credit that forces you to buy something else you don’t want. No matter how it came to be, we’re all paying for it. Lately, it’s mostly politics. You were warned.
Keepers: anything bringing us delight. And what we hope someone is buying for us!
Join Radio, the receipts, John and me to work our way through the gifts you can buy that won’t bring on the regrets. You bring your commentary and cocktails.
When life stops making sense, we shop go live on Substack with someone who will make us laugh. More soon.
Holiday Budgets Stick to $20. So the Gift Shrinks.
Retailers are betting the season on $20. A $35 candle showed me what that doesn't buy.
What does this mean for our obligation gifts?
Holiday Flights Are a Fright. We’re Taking the Subaru.
