In my experience, there are three major influences on culture:Individual team members – Do they work together? Do they feel their voice is heard? Do they enjoy going to work every day?Supervision / management – Do they have an open door policy? Do they listen to employees? Are they willing to take acceptable risks with new ideas?Corporate – Are they driven by only the bottom line? Do they provide too much oversight?Easy efforts to improve the culture positively include ensuring that corporate, plant, department goals are clear, posted and understood, that communication occurs frequently at all levels, and that appropriate personnel are involved at the right level for decision making.Speaker:Lee McClish – Director, Maintenance and Reliability for NTT GDC AmericasLee is currently the Director, Maintenance and Reliability for NTT GDC Americas, a global telecommunications and data center company.

Jim not only forged that path but then had to deal with contracting the virus himself and living through a nightmare of being on a ventilator for 10 days and coming very close to dying.

In the process of doing so, they prove categorically why they didn't win, and in the process discuss the greatest movie pilots (who aren't Maverick), talk about the best way to beat Roger Deakins in a fight, chat about the week's movie news, prepare to bid farewell to the grey, depressing podbooth, review Nitram, Minions: The Rise Of Gru, and The Man From Toronto, and declare war on The Radio Times Podcast. This week's guest is the fantastic Australian director Justin Kurzel, who chats to Chris about his hard-hitting new drama, Nitram. Enjoy. NB: there is a brief discussion of the future of Bond, which includes some MAJOR spoilers for No Time To Die. So if you've somehow still not seen that film and wish to avoid any revelations, that starts around 29:48.00 and carries on for three minutes or so, until around 32:43:00 (timestamps are approximate).
Discussing British curriculum schools in the Middle East and what it takes to lead a school, Rebekah is joined by Debra Forsyth, newly appointed CEO of BSME.

Matt Rudd is Deputy Editor at The Sunday Times Magazine which he joined in 2002. Matt's column, Man Trouble, for which he was awarded columnist of the year at the 2019 BSME awards, His book is called Man Down, and here's a brief intro to what it's all about, and what we talk about today. On the surface, men today don't have much to complain about. At work, they still get paid more than women for doing the same jobs. At home, they still shirk most of the unpaid labour. Putting the bins out does not count. Beneath the surface, it's a different story. An alarming number of men end up anxious, exhausted, depressed - and very reluctant to admit they are. Even if they do everything that's expected of them in work, life and fatherhood, genuine happiness is still elusive. By midlife, their levels of stress are higher and their levels of wellbeing are lower - and work-life balance turns out to be just a cruel illusion. In Man Down, Matt Rudd takes the long view on this perplexing paradox. Drawing on stories from his own life, and the varied lives of the other men he has interviewed, he goes back to the beginning to consider what makes the modern man - how the seeds of midlife misery are sown in the school playground and cultivated through adolescence and into adulthood. By turns compassionate and provocative, Man Down asks the important question: is midlife unhappiness inevitable? Spoiler alert: it isn't.

In this episode highlighting the School of Mechanical Engineering (ME), we meet Greg Shaver, a professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University. We'll learn more about his work with connected Class 8 trucks and autonomous truck platooning. Professor Greg Shaver shares about his work with autonomous commercial vehicles, specifically with class 8 tractor trailers. These big rigs haul about 70% of the freight in the US, and consume 25% of the nation's fuel. If these trucks could be made more efficient -- even just a little bit -- there would be huge cost savings, and at the same time, significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Professor Shaver is working on platooning, in which one truck autonomously follows another at close range. Once in a platoon, the air resistance lowers, and this alone can increase fuel economy up to 15%. And, counterintuitively, it's actually much safer, because connected trucks react much more quickly than human drivers do. We talked to Professor Shaver about how important it is for academics to work with industry and government to tackle these big challenges. Shaver joined Purdue University's School of Mechanical Engineering faculty in 2006. His PhD and MSME are from Stanford University, and his BSME is from Purdue University. His research interests include: Model-based system and control design of commercial vehicle power trains, connected and automated commercial vehicles, internal combustion engine and after-treatment system design and controls, and flexible valve actuation in diesel and natural gas engines. Shaver is also currently involved in the Purdue Engineering Initiative in Autonomous and Connected Systems and recently participated in a webinar on "Advancing Driver-Centric Automation to Enhance Safety and Efficiency in Freight Trucking" This is one of three episodes featuring Purdue University's School of Mechanical Engineering. Listen to more about ME and other engineering topics at the Purdue Engineering podcast website.

Jim Landsman, BSME, MBA. Every business leader in 2020 is challenged to figure out how to run a successful business during a pandemic. Jim not only forged that path but then had to deal with contracting the virus himself and living through a nightmare of being on a ventilator for 10 days and coming very close to dying. He credits being a good physical shape at 57 for saving his life. Listen to the fear he and his family had to go through to come out on the other end. The support of friends, family and even complete strangers has been overwhelming. He still is trying to get back physically what was taken during his fight to survive.Jim is a co-founder and the President and CEO for Atlas Injury Prevention Solutions. Atlas IPS is a leading nationwide injury (MSD) prevention service and technology provider. Jim has a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and a masters degree in business administration, both from the University of Notre Dame. Jim’s 30+ years of leadership experience is equally split between operations and sales/marketing. Jim is originally from Grand Haven, MI but now resides in New Smyrna Beach, FL. He is happily married to his wife and soulmate (Gayle) for almost 30 years, and has three children and two grandchildren. Jim loves most to spend time with his family, but when he is not doing that he likes to run on the beach, fish, boogie board, kayak, and (pre-COVID) travel to and explore new and fun destinations. 10 Lessons Learned by a COVID SurvivorI am the President of Atlas IPS. Sometime between July 31 and August 9 I should have died.The BackgroundWhen the COVID pandemic started in March, my family were considered the “nuts.” We immediately wore masks, used hand sanitizer, went grocery shopping every 2 – 3 weeks, and didn’t get take-out food for over three months. We did this to protect my wife who has had pneumonia twice and a thyroid condition that impacts her immune system.I am 57 years old. I have no preexisting conditions and do not take any prescriptions. I don’t smoke. I run 3 miles and swim laps 5 – 6 days a week. Our belief was that if either my extremely healthy 22-year-old son or I became infected, we might get a fever for 3 days. If my wife was infected, all bets were off.On July 22 I began to exhibit mild COVID symptoms. On July 24 the three of us went to the Florida Department of Health and were tested for COVID with a throat swab. Because we were unsure about the accuracy of a throat swab, on July 27th we went to an urgent care facility and were tested with a nasal swab.My symptoms continued to worsen including having a 102o fever and developing a mild cough. Fortunately, my wife bought a pulse oximeter and found my oxygen level at 88%, when it should be at 95% or higher. She called the hospital with that information and the nurse said I needed to get to the emergency room immediately.On July 28 I was admitted to a nearby large top-rated hospital. My X-rays showed one of my lungs was completed infected and the other was 1/3rd infected with pneumonia. My breathing continued to worsen and on July 31 I was moved to the ICU and placed on a ventilator for 10 days. Miraculously I was moved out of the ICU on August 17, and on August 21 I was discharged to my home. We were told in confidence by one of my nurses that I was the only patient to survive with COVID, who was also admitted to the ICU and placed on a ventilator, since March. Whether or not that statement is 100% accurate, it seems not many people survive, and the ability for my family and me to tell our story is unique.10 Lessons Learned1. The risk of getting COVID is real and can hit anyone. In the eyes of my family and friends, I was the picture of health and no one expected COVID to infect me, and more important almost kill me. Since I got sick, we have heard of a college freshman who got COVID and now needs dialysis, and two mothers who went to the hospital for C-sections, contracted COVID, and are now in the ICU. Young or old, healthy or not, COVID does not discriminate who it hits.2. The testing process is broken. Ten days after our Florida Department of Health swab, my wife was called to inform her that she had been exposed to someone positive with COVID. She responded, “No kidding, my husband is in the hospital on a vent.” A day later the urgent care facility called and said all three of us tested negative for COVID.3. If you get symptoms, get medical attention early. We listened to current CDC guidance, stayed home, and treated my symptoms. We believe if we had waited much longer to contact the hospital, I would have died. If we had contacted the hospital sooner, there is a chance I could have avoided being placed on a ventilator. In short, don’t wait too long to seek medical care.4. Hospitals do not know how to consistently and effectively treat COVID. The average US survival rate for COVID patients who are vented is 25%. We were told by medical staff that my hospital and another large one in the area struggle to produce any survivors. We were also told by another source that a Northwestern (Chicago area) hospital has an 86% survival rate. It does not appear to us that hospitals are sharing best practices, and the top ratings we initially saw for my hospital is for conditions other than COVID.5. You must have a medical advocate. Given that hospital care is not consistent, it is imperative that a patient have a fully engaged and assertive friend or family member who is their medical advocate. My wife kept detailed notes of every discussion, my vitals, my medications, and reached out to different medical friends and family to make sure what was being recommended by the doctors made sense. She was not afraid to push for different solutions and to say no. Do not simply assume what a doctor recommends is right.6. Don’t assume a vented patient is unconscious. Although I was placed in a medical coma through the use of Fentanyl (at the maximum level allowed, which should level a horse), my mind and senses were conscious, causing the most frightening time of my life. I did not know I was in the hospital for COVID, and instead thought my organs were being harvested and the people around me were trying to kill me. I believed this for almost 2 weeks. If one nurse or doctor had taken the time to talk to me like I was awake and reassure me I was safe and being cared for, it would have made a huge difference on my mental outlook and will to live. We believe this becomes even more important because COVID patients are isolated from their families, leaving them confused and scared.7. COVID is the gift that keeps on giving. COVID often doesn’t end after the fever and cough are gone. I discussed the freshman who is now on dialysis, but other post-COVID conditions that medical staff discussed with us include blood clots, strokes, heart issues, organ failures, and even amputations. To date I have been lucky to have not been given any additional COVID “gifts,” but my story is far from over. I lost 30 pounds. The day I came out of the ICU I barely had enough energy to brush my teeth. It was quickly clear that simply sitting up was going to be a challenge and I needed to learn how to walk again.8. You need to be as healthy as possible to fight COVID. If what we were told about my hospital’s survival rate is even remotely accurate, I must ask myself, “Why did I survive?” As I said above, having a medical advocate is a factor. We also believe the many prayers, thoughts, and human concern shown for me and my family helped save my life (more on this below). However, we also believe my general health was a major factor and should be something everyone considers.9. We need to be concerned about our COVID healthcare workers. We call them heroes, and they are. Every day they risk self-exposure and taking the virus back to their families. However, what we fail to understand is the mental and emotional damage being done to these wonderful people because they are constantly surrounded by death. One nurse talked about a PTSD-like impact, and I believe the risk is real.10. We should have more faith in the human race. In a time where hate and anger seem to be the norm, I have often wondered when it became more important to be right than respecting and simply caring for another human being. From day 1 of my sickness, my wife and children exposed our journey “naked and afraid” through Facebook and other social media channels to all that would listen, with the simple goal of providing awareness of the risk. The response was overwhelming from friends, family, communities, but most surprising was the support provided from countless people we did not know. My family got messages from all over the world simply providing prayers, thoughts, well wishes, and asking how I was doing that day. We believe that deep down, most people still want to care for each other, which gives my family and I hope for the future.After looking this over with my wife (the love of my life, my warrior and soulmate) she asked that I add a note describing the mental and emotional toll physical isolation takes on the family—waiting anxiously for medical update calls that come late or not at all; not being able to sit next to your loved one to protect them, hold their hand, tell them they are safe, and let them know you love them; and wondering if the last words you said to them will be the last words you get to say.The goal of this message is not to get into a debate about politics, reporting, masks, personal freedoms, or fall into any of those rabbit holes. Our goal is to help provide a personal, open, and honest perspective about the risks of this horrific virus. What you do from here is your choice.If you want to see the full and detailed story on Facebook, please look at my wife’s page at Gayle Hanyzewski Landsman. (If you are a Dave Mathews music fan, I would recommend it since there is a nice surprise within.)Please stay vigilant and safe.

Tom can trace the highlights in his life back to his time in the military. It taught him that just about anything can be systematized, taught and refined. “I always tell people, I've done two major things in my life. One was run a nuclear power plant and the other one's running a small business. And one of those was easier because it came with an instruction manual.” – Tom Schwab Transitioning from the Navy to Corporate America Tom transitioned from the Navy to a fortune 500 company in 1992. He loved working there but found that his work community was quite small and he wanted something larger.

download the audio file [0:43] Please tell us about your background. Andrew Kelley is a global technology executive focused on logistics and supply chain software. He is CEO of Bell Creek Partners consulting to lower middle market private equity firms and with the objective of buying a single platform business to run as CEO. Previously he was with Vista Equity-backed Omnitracs as President of Haulme and VP Corporate Development. Prior to that, he worked at Dell focused mostly on venture investing including Nutanix, a successful $2B IPO. Overall, he has executed $30B of combined M&A and investments mostly with UBS Investment Bank's Technology, Media & Telecom group. He began his professional career co-founding Virtual Ink at MIT in 1997 and that product, Mimio, is now part of Boxlight Corporation. Andrew has an MBA from Harvard Business School, an MSME from MIT, and a BSME from North Carolina State University [1:15] How'd you get into the freight business? I grew up on a produce farm in Maryland and that's how I started truck driving. I've also driven for the North Carolina Department of Transportation. [2:17] What are you doing today? I spend all my time in supply chain and logistics because I think it's fascinating and that there are big opportunities. [3:07] Tell us about Powerloop and its implications on the freight business. Uber launched Uber Freight a few years ago. Now, Powerloop is the latest offering from Uber Freight. Effectively, it's a trailer leasing business. Powerloop allows for power-only units to drop and hook trailers that are pre-filled and ready to go. The advantage is that you don't have to wait for the loading and unloading. [5:02] Is it good for shippers too? It should be. There's a supply/demand imbalance now which causes shippers to pay more, and the costs trickle down to the end consumer. [6:25] What is the overall landscape for assets like tractors and trailers? There are about three times more trailers than tractors in the US. It's hard for Company A to figure out how to lease or allow Carrier B to tap into some of their empty trailer capacity. Having a third party oversee the process is favorable for both companies. I think, overall, it's beneficial to have more capacity in the marketplace. What is the nature of that capacity? I'm not sure we can figure that out right now. [9:53] What does this mean for the average broker or 3PL? I think it's positive, based on the brokers I've talked to. The closer they are to being able to guarantee capacity, the easier it is for them to work directly with shippers and increasingly larger shippers. [11:36] Do you think the ELD mandate influenced the creation of Powerloop? ELD constrained some driveable hours. The more driveable hours that there are in a day, the better it is for everyone. People say that the ELD mandate is the reason that the cost of freight has been surging. I think that's part of it, but not all of it. It's crazy that some drivers can do 2500 miles a week and struggle to make ends meet. Like all innovations, I think having a “customer first” mentality is essential. I'm hopeful that this will benefit drivers the most, but also will have a positive impact for shippers and consumers. [17:28] Do you imagine other freight brokerage companies investing through buying trailers like Uber is? I think it's possible. One of the challenges right now is that the ability to buy a trailer is really tough. There's an increasing backlog and the manufacturers are struggling to keep up with the demand. A fair number of asset-heavy carriers out there now also have substantial brokerage businesses. If they don't have an asset in the right place at the right time, being able to call a friend in the moment is very important. [21:07] What are the benefits of this to the industry? The number one benefit, I'm hoping, is that the number of driveable hours increases. That's positive for drivers because they will spend a lot less time detained, and for shippers because they are able to get more goods out to their end market. Customers usually look at ROI, and they will have to weigh the cost and the benefit to figure out if it's really going to work for them. [22:27] How can people reach you?

For me 2014 has been a wild ride and I am only now getting to the point where I can post more episodes. In this episode I dive into how "What I learned in College" applies to our field. I will let you gleen the "gems" for yourself, but really what I take from it is a conceptual understanding of the science behind what we do. At the end of the day we are not dealing with rocket science in this field (for the most part) and most of what college teaches you can be picked up through independent learning. If you have any feedback please feel free to send it my way otherwise until next time, enjoy. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
