Steve Jobs called Ron Johnson every night at 8 p.m. for a year while they developed the Apple Store. What were they figuring out? How to make people feel comfortable with technology—and create an experience they wanted to return to. In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, Chase Chewning sits down with Ron Johnson, best known for creating the Apple Stores alongside Steve Jobs, to explore the human psychology behind customer experience, brand loyalty, and building places where people belong. Ron shares why Apple put computers in shopping malls, why employees weren't paid commissions, and how hands-on experiences helped turn hesitant shoppers into confident customers. He also explains why he believes physical retail still matters, how AI could improve shopping, and what businesses lose when they remove the moments that bring people together. ----- 00:00 Meet Ron Johnson, Creator of the Apple Stores 00:09 Why Apple Stores Were Built Around Fear 01:06 Why Physical Retail Still Matters 04:52 How AI Could Change Shopping 07:44 Creating a Place Where Customers Belong 10:37 Helping People Discover the iPod and iPhone 13:55 The Ingredients of a Great Customer Experience 14:42 Steve Jobs Called Every Night at 8 PM 16:01 Why Apple Put Computers in Shopping Malls 19:16 How Apple Products Built Customer Loyalty 21:20 Are Pop-Up Stores Worth It? 23:51 Turning Moments Into Memories 27:14 Scent, Design, and the Heartbeat of a Store 29:38 What Apple Lost by Removing Launch-Day Lines 32:35 Developing Your Instinct for Business 34:47 How to Design a Physical Business 37:43 How Often Should a Store Refresh? 38:27 Ron Reimagines a Podcast Studio 41:33 Writing the Book and Building the First Apple Store 44:35 How Ron's Mother Influenced Apple Stores 46:09 Your Personal Experience Is Your Advantage 49:06 Finding Work You Love 52:00 Rapid Fire: Business Advice and Hiring Mistakes 53:49 Apple's Best Decision During Ron's Time 55:19 What "Ever Forward" Means to Ron ----- Episode resources: 15% off red light therapy devices with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.BonCharge.com 15% off Godspeed ketones and electrolytes with code CHASE at https://www.DrinkGodspeed.com/chase

What does it take to think differently, lead boldly, and keep moving forward when even your biggest ideas don't go as planned? In this episode of the ContenderCast, Justin sits down with legendary retail executive Ron Johnson, former CEO of JCPenney, the leader who helped transform Target, and the architect behind Apple's groundbreaking retail stores and Genius Bar. Ron shares lessons from working alongside Steve Jobs, the thinking behind his new book Shop Different, what extraordinary success, and failure, taught him about leadership, and why bringing people along may matter just as much as having a bold vision. They also explore the future of retail in an AI and agentic commerce world, why human connection still matters, and how Ron's definition of leadership has evolved through decades of innovation, reinvention, and resilience.

John Solomon examines documents released by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, including a November 2016 email in which diplomat George Kent warned that Hunter Biden's position on Burisma's board undermined America's anti-corruption message in Ukraine.

#757: Ron Johnson is the creator of the Apple Stores and former CEO of JCPenney. At age 24 Ron Johnson turned down a $120,000 Goldman Sachs offer to unload trucks for $40,000, and that detour led Steve Jobs to hire him to build the Apple Store. Years later, he took over JCPenney and watched it fail for a reason that had nothing to do with his vision. Ron Johnson created the Apple Store and worked directly for Steve Jobs for 12 years, after bringing designer products to Target. He later served as CEO of JCPenney and is the author of Shop Different.

Philip welcomes retail executive/creative and author Ron Johnson to the show. In their conversation, they discuss Ron’s book Shop Different: How Retail Revealed Apple’s Genius. They look at Ron’s storied career across retail sectors, dive into the creation of the Apple store concept and explore the current retail environment. The Drop – The segment of the show where Philip and his guest share tasty morsels of intellectual goodness and creative musings. Philip’s Drop: En Cavale – Isabelle Antena Ron’s Drop: War & Peace//Anna Karenina – Leo Tolstoy Les Miserables – Victor Hugo Special Guest: Ron Johnson.

How do you know when to trust your previous experience in a transformation environment, and how do you know when to listen, observe, and adapt? Ron Johnson helped create the Apple Store and transform Target into a design-forward retailer. But when he brought his approach to JCPenney, his transformation failed. He explains why leaders shouldn't rely too heavily on data when they're trying to create something that hasn't been done before, how Steve Jobs used patience and diverse perspectives to drive innovation, and why great customer experiences depend on empowering employees to solve problems one customer at a time. Johnson also reflects on his experience at JCPenney, where he moved too quickly and underestimated how deeply employees and other stakeholders were invested in the company's existing way of doing business. He shares what he would do differently today—and why listening may be one of the most important skills a leader can develop. Johnson is the author of Shop Different: How Retail Revealed Apple's Genius.

What does it take to create something that changes the way people experience the world? Ron Johnson helped transform Target, created the Apple Store alongside Steve Jobs, and later learned some difficult lessons from his attempt to reinvent JCPenney. In this conversation, we explore where breakthrough ideas come from, how taste and collaboration shape great creative work, why the best idea has to win regardless of who came up with it, and why creativity sometimes requires having the patience to slow down until you get it right.

Light It Up Live: 3-Day Profitable Content Clinic > ***Tickets on Sale NOW***     What if getting more people to buy isn't about convincing them harder, posting more content, or perfecting your sales pitch?  What if it's about making people feel like they matter?    That idea helped create one of the most iconic retail experiences in the world—and it's something every entrepreneur needs to understand as AI and technology change how we communicate, market, and sell.    My guest, Ron Johnson, is the creator of the Apple Store and Genius Bar, former CEO of J.C. Penney, and author of the new book Shop Different: How Retail Revealed Apple's Genius. Ron worked directly with Steve Jobs as a member of Apple's executive team, helping reimagine what a retail store could be and fundamentally changing how customers experienced a brand.    And what they built wasn't centered around one question: How do we sell more products?  It was centered around something much more powerful: How do we help people?    Ron and I talk about what Steve Jobs understood about human behavior, innovation, selling, and creating experiences people actually want to be part of. We get into why service itself can be a sales strategy, what the Genius Bar got right about earning customer trust, and why strong relationships can become a competitive advantage that technology can't replicate.    We also talk about having a BIG idea when everyone around you is telling you to be more realistic. Ron shares what Steve Jobs taught him about challenging conventional thinking, why bold ideas can actually be easier to sell than incremental ones, and what it takes to get people behind a vision they can't fully see yet.    RESOURCES MENTIONED:  🔥 LIGHT IT UP Live (October 6th-8th) In one-time-only live online event, I will show you how to get 1000s of the right eyes on your business, become unforgettable in your industry, and communicate what you do in a way that makes the right people want to buy from you on repeat.

Penney  >How to embrace AI and technology without losing the human connection people crave  >Why curiosity can change the trajectory of your career and business    One of my biggest takeaways from this conversation is incredibly simple:  The person in front of you matters.    Whether you have 100 followers or 10 million, whether you're building a personal brand or running one of the biggest companies in the world, business is ultimately about relationships between human beings.  And in a world becoming increasingly automated, that may become one of your greatest competitive advantages.    Learn the high-income-generating skill of sharing your offers and knowledge in a way that makes people want to buy, in a genuine way.    🎟️ LIGHT IT UP LIVE |

Ron Johnson built the Apple Store as Apple's SVP of Retail, and is the author of Shop Different: How Retail Revealed Apple's Genius . A Note from James: I love the Apple Store. I can walk into one without needing anything and still want to stay. I like looking at the products. I like touching everything. I like the space. I like the feeling. I remember buying one of my first iPods at the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue in New York. I walked out smiling, listening to music from my childhood that I hadn’t heard in years. And that feeling was designed. My guest today, Ron Johnson, is the person who created the Apple Store. Before Apple, Ron was at Target, where he helped prove that design could matter even in mass-market retail. He worked with Michael Graves and helped establish this idea that something affordable could also be beautiful. Steve Jobs noticed. Steve had come back to Apple. The Mac was competing in a world dominated by Windows. And he realized there was something advertising could not do: it could not let someone actually experience the product. You had to touch a Mac. You had to use it. You had to see why it was different. So Steve hired Ron. And together they created something that went against almost every trend in retail at the time. No giant stacks of boxes. No salespeople hiding behind registers. No pressure to buy. Products sitting openly on simple tables. Lots of light. Lots of employees. A Genius Bar. A place where you could come in, play with the computers, ask questions, learn something, leave without buying anything, and then come back again. Retail experts said it would fail. And for a moment, they looked right. When Apple opened its third store in Texas, Ron walked into the Monday morning executive meeting and Steve Jobs looked at him and basically said, “What are you doing here? You haven’t sold a computer in the state of Texas.” Ron fixed it. Eventually, Apple Stores became some of the most productive retail spaces in the world. Ron’s new book is Shop Different: How Retail Revealed Apple’s Genius . And what I loved about the book is that you get to see how someone who has spent decades thinking about stores actually sees one. Ron can walk into a store and notice the floor, the lighting, the width of the aisle, the employees, the products, where people park, how customers move, what they see first, and whether the place has what he calls a heartbeat. He sees retail almost like an artist sees a canvas. And the lessons are much bigger than stores. They’re about design. Leadership. Kindness. Steve Jobs. Knowing what your customer values. Knowing what parts of your identity are sacred. And maybe most importantly, knowing when not to rush. What You’ll Learn: Why Steve Jobs believed Apple

What did Dr. Anthony Fauci know privately about COVID vaccines—and what was the American public being told at the same time? On this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Senator Ron Johnson joins Lisa for an explosive conversation about his ongoing investigation into the government's COVID-19 response and newly obtained communications from Fauci’s government-issued devices. Johnson discusses a private Fauci message that he says raised concerns about vaccination and pregnancy, why he believes the issue goes far beyond the debate over miscarriage statistics, and his argument that Americans were denied information necessary to make fully informed medical decisions. The Wisconsin senator also reveals what investigators are finding as they work through tens of thousands of Fauci text messages, hundreds of voice messages and other government records. Johnson explains why identifying the people behind hundreds of phone numbers has become a critical part of the investigation—and why he says his team is being careful not to release private information unrelated to public policy. Lisa and Sen. Johnson also discuss Fauci’s handling of the COVID pandemic, gain-of-function research, vaccine safety surveillance, the relationship between government health agencies and pharmaceutical companies, and Johnson’s allegations that career bureaucrats are resisting efforts to uncover additional records. Johnson says investigators are now seeking devices and communications associated with other former government health officials as his probe expands—and declares that despite years of pursuing answers about the pandemic, the investigation has “only just begun.” Plus, Johnson explains why he believes America still needs a full COVID reckoning before the next public health crisis.

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton discuss former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring themselves eligible for the WNBA Draft, arguing that the move exposes what they view as contradictions in gender identity policies. The hosts debate the legal, cultural, and financial implications for the WNBA, including questions surrounding eligibility standards, women’s athletics, gender identity, discrimination claims, and potential antitrust concerns. They also examine the league’s reported efforts to address the issue and discuss how increasing player salaries in women’s professional basketball could create new incentives and challenges. An extended interview featuring Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, who reveals that he and Senator Rand Paul have obtained and begun reviewing Dr. Anthony Fauci’s government cellphone records, including tens of thousands of text messages and hundreds of voicemail messages. Johnson discusses what he describes as newly uncovered information related to COVID-era public health decisions, vaccine policy, pregnancy guidance, and communications among senior federal health officials. He exposes how Fauci lied to pregnant women citing an 82% miscarriage rate among women who got the shot.  Clay and Buck discuss the media attention surrounding AOC and what the hosts view as her attempt to reposition herself politically. Clay and Buck discuss her recent comments dismissing earlier progressive activism as “Woke 1.0,” arguing that Democrats are trying to distance themselves from unpopular positions associated with the height of the woke movement, including defunding police, abolishing prisons, and other controversial progressive policies. The hosts debate whether AOC’s efforts to move toward the political center are strategic and effective, with Buck arguing that she has become a much more polished and formidable national political figure than many Republicans realize. They suggest that economic issues such as housing affordability, healthcare costs, grocery prices, and working-class concerns will likely become central to future Democratic messaging. An extended interview with Congressman Byron Donalds, who is campaigning to become Florida’s next governor. Donalds outlines his vision for Florida’s future, focusing heavily on property insurance reform, housing affordability, economic growth, regulatory reform, government efficiency, tax policy, and protecting what he calls the “Florida Dream.” He argues that reducing regulatory burdens, improving the insurance market, streamlining construction processes, and maintaining conservative governance principles will help address affordability challenges facing Florida families.
