Recorded in front of a live audience in February 2025, Costco CEO Ron Vachris talks at length about how the organization's culture is the bedrock for the retailer's success. "We always do what's right" is not an arrogant statement, he says, but a commitment to their stakeholders, whether they are customers, shareholders or the communities where they operate. Vachris, the third CEO to helm Costco, demonstrates the firm's commitment to growing talent from within. Starting as a forklift driver in 1982 at Price Club, which merged with Costco in 1993, he worked his way up through the company over the years, becoming CEO in January 2024.   Hosted by Joseph M.

PCC Community Markets CEO Krish Srinivasan closed out the 2023-24 season of the Albers Executive Speaker Series talking about the co-op's history; the challenges they overcame during the pandemic; their mission, vision, and values, and why a statement of equity and inclusion—which may seem rote in today's business world—is particularly meaningful to their business.

Management professor Bill Weis sat down with Albers dean Joe Phillips to talk about how he became the school's longest serving faculty member with 50 years of teaching under his belt. In this half-century, Weis became the standard bearer of banning smoking in the workplace; brought worldwide attention to an obscure 15th century Italian friar; and started an adventure-based leadership course that built strong bonds among generations of MBA students.

The FIFA World Cup is the world's largest sporting event, 14% bigger than the Olympics in audience size and six times the size of the Super Bowl's 175 million viewers. And it's coming to Seattle in 2026 as the city becomes one of 16 North American locations chosen to host several games. How do cities pitch for sporting events of this size? What is the economic impact of occasions like this? Peter Tomozawa, CEO of SEAFWC26, the organization tasked with preparing Seattle for the 2026 World Cup, talks about this and more at a recent Albers Executive Speaker Series.

For Albers' 75th year, Dean Joe Phillips sat down with the iconic Harriet Stephenson, a business professor who taught at Albers from 1967 to 2014. Stephenson, one of the few female business PhDs in her time, founded what is now the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center (IEC) and won many awards for her teaching and her work in social entrepreneurship and small business management. Phillips asked her how she first got interested in business (leasing her grandfather's swimming pool in Walla Walla), what it was like to be a woman in business in the 60s ("business was pretty much men"), and the origins of Albers' triple bottom line, among others. When asked how she felt about the IEC naming their business competition after her, Stephenson said with much satisfaction, "I gotta say I like it."

Threats of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and Cease and Desist letters from attorneys are designed to bully and silence would-be whistler blowers. Could that be why so many people are speaking underground about Baptiste Yoga and so many women have stories to share about Baron but are afraid to go public? Attorney and former Baptiste Yoga teacher Eva Sedgwick explains why these tactics are lame attempts to scare us into silence and why they cannot hold up in a court of law. Also, Eva tells her own story and experience with Baptiste Yoga, why she got out after being publicly defamed by Baron in front of hundreds of people and never looked back. Eva then breaks down the difference between defamation and speaking the truth or giving your opinion about a "Public figure" which falls under freedom of speech and is what we do here in this podcast.

In this recording of a November 2021 live panel, Puget Sound Energy CEO Mary E. Kipp talked about the dual utility's journey toward its goal of net zero carbon emissions, including natural gas sold to customers, by 2045.

Leveraging the Genetics of Leadership looks at how organizations that consistently perform at elite levels approach the practice of leadership and from his research argues that organizational leadership is a system and not a person. Recent data by the Gallup Organization documents that 66% of the workforce is either non-engaged or actively sabotaging their workplace. However, in the highest performing organizations, these numbers are nearly reversed. 70% Of the workforce is engaged and fully contributing to the growth and success of their organization. Four years ago, and after 20+ years in management consulting, I began to ask the questions, how do these few by high performing organizations, approach the practice of leadership? What I discovered is that their approach to leadership is radically different. In short, they approach it systemically to create a consistent experience for their workforce.

So many agents live by the idea that ‘buyers are liars,’ so instead of servicing them, they focus all their energies on listings instead. But for those of us who don’t follow that logic, there are massive opportunities.    Where can we find buyers, and how can we offer them value without spending weeks on end showing them house after house? The truth is, we shouldn’t be showing buyers that many properties in the first place; by asking the right questions, we can narrow down the search from the start.   The key to being a successful buyer’s agent lies in growing our knowledge and expanding our network to build relationships with everyone from clients to competitors.   On this episode, Founder at PorchLight, Mark Pattison shares how to build a successful business by focusing on buyers. Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   Find a niche To have success as a buyers agent, we have to niche down. Focus on a small, tight-knit community. By serving one group, we can get more referrals.   Ask the right questions Ask buyers open-ended questions, focused on uncovering the client’s ‘why,’ and be sure to write down what they say. This ensures we find exactly what the client wants and needs, without spending weeks or even months showing them an endless list of unsuitable properties.    Keep learning We can only bring our clients value if we’re well-informed of industry trends. Keep building onto existing knowledge and take notes wherever possible. Remember, information is money.      Guest Bio   Mark Pattison is the Founder of PorchLight. After graduating with honors from Albers School of Business and Economics at Seattle University, Mark went on to work for  a number of prestigious brands before deciding to enter the world of real estate. Marks has an extensive real estate background and insider’s knowledge of San Diego.   To find out more about Mark, visit: https://www.exploredshomes.com/about https://www.linkedin.com/in/markapattison   You can also find him on instagram at @MarkSellsSanDiego   Links mentioned on this episode: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVALMF99nztSJEJ7lehzEOQ

While the world is consumed with the current crisis, consumers are still selecting brands into their homes. What brands clear the test and why? A growing buyer value lies the answer to: “is this product produced in a sustainable and ethical fashion?” Sustainable operations are moving from marketing and public relations positioning to being embedded in the product experience. Join this discussion on how new technologies are providing transparency and assurance to consumers regarding fair labor, lower use of natural resources, eco-friendly packaging, and positive carbon footprints. Today's companies are looking beyond showing what they do with the products in a sustainable and ethical manner to looking downstream and upstream from the materials to the transportation and disposition of their products. This shift needs a new way to share trusted, auditable information that is openly shared and free from manipulation. Companies are now adopting blockchain as the assured way to share the information. The discussion will share use cases on how the technology is being used and where it is headed in helping provide the keys to a better planet.

Well before the current frenzy over “tweets gone wild,” Joe Barnes walked into businesses, for profits and non-profits, and would ask: “What’s your social media policy?” The usual response was: We don’t have one, or “Go talk to marketing about that.” In his travels he realized that nearly every business and organization he walked into, no matter what size, did not have a written social media policy, nor did they clearly understand or even know what the Federal Trade Commission requires in the way of disclosure. That’s why he wrote his book: “Social Media Ethics Made Easy: How to Comply with FTC Disclosure Requirements.” The book is available from Business Expert Press or on Amazon. Our host today is Matthew Cummings. ----more---- About our guest: Joe Barnes Joe is a full-time faculty lecturer in marketing, business communications, and social/digital/mobile marketing at the Albers School of Business & Economics at Seattle University.
