Mark Landini and guest Barbara Thau, Senior Features Editor for CO—, a New York City-based publications from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, consider the rebirth of community in commerce — is it simply common sense?

The pair discuss why local products, local retailers, and other localization trends are so prominent in the retail world today. They get under the skin of what it’ll take to make “local” special again and how this can be monetised for commerce and community alike.

Barbara is a longtime business reporter and editor whose reporting has been featured in consumer publications including Forbes, CNBC and AOL. She specialises in the retail and consumer sectors across fashion, food, beauty, technology and more.
