About this listen

 The House Industry Podcast is where the industry pulls up a chair — and gets real about what actually drives growth.

I’m Doug Murless, and this is the insider’s playbook for brand leaders, category managers, retail strategists, data pros, and executives who want the pulse of what's happening in Housewares.

We dig into Amazon algorithms, Walmart trends, Target strategy, margin pressure, private label, tariffs, freight shifts — the forces that truly move product and make or break your next line review.

No fluff.
No recycled trade show soundbites.
Just candid, practical conversations with people who understand both sides of the retailer table — and are ready to share what’s actually happening. And we don’t stay in one aisle.

Some of the best houseware ideas are hiding in pet, sporting goods, and other high-performance categories — so we bring those perspectives in and translate them for housewares.

Whether you’re prepping for a trade show, launching a new item, or walking into your next buyer meeting, our goal is to give you insights you can use in your business and have some fun along the way.

If you’re ready to outthink the competition, hit SUBSCRIBE.
