"My goal is to figure out how to integrate the message of health into the omnichannel shopping experience. And so it's been quite a ride," Massi said on the podcast.

Also, Massi is PMG's new third judge, joining Joe Watson and Armand Lobato, for PMG's Produce Artist Award Series, the quarterly contest on store merchandising displays. She has some valuable insight through her health lens.
