In this episode of The CEO Podcast, Scott De Long, Ph.D., and Vince Moiso return after a long hiatus to discuss the challenges leaders face in making tough calls during uncertain times in this limited-run series, Leadership at the Crossroads. They open with reflections on the current economic and political landscape, including inflation, tariffs, AI disruption, and fluctuating interest rates of which test a leader's ability to remain calm, focused, and strategic. Scott emphasizes the importance of staying calm and making data-driven decisions rather than fear-based reactions. He encourages leaders to balance instinct with analysis, ensuring decisions are informed by both experience and data. Vince adds that focus is more critical than ever, urging leaders to eliminate distractions from constant news cycles to phone notifications so they can maintain clarity and productivity. Together, they explore how external noise and media bias can influence leadership decisions and why critical thinking and perspective are essential traits for modern executives. The conversation shifts to organizational growth, where Scott and Vince share insights on balancing entrepreneurial drive with operational discipline. They discuss a case study of a fast-growing company learning to integrate structure without stifling innovation. The duo agrees that while bold moves are sometimes necessary, leaders must know when to slow down, assess internal processes, and ensure alignment with long-term vision. They conclude by encouraging CEOs to revisit their organizational purpose, assess market realities, and recalibrate their three-year vision to align with today's changing business climate. Key Takeaways Leaders must stay calm, grounded, and data-driven when navigating uncertainty. Eliminating distractions and focusing on what truly matters is essential for effective leadership. Sometimes slowing down to analyze and align can lead to faster, more sustainable growth. Key Insights Economic uncertainty, including inflation and tariffs, demands clear-headed leadership. Data-driven decision-making reduces fear-based reactions and helps maintain stability. Balancing entrepreneurial instinct with structure is key to sustainable scaling. Avoiding constant exposure to news and social media can improve focus and mental clarity. Leaders should question media biases and seek diverse perspectives before forming opinions. Slowing down at key decision points can prevent costly mistakes and promote strategic clarity. Collaborative decision-making fosters buy-in and stronger organizational alignment. Understanding team personalities and communication styles enhances leadership effectiveness. Organizations should routinely reassess vision, processes, and resource allocation.

The Dangers of Single-Use Plastic BagsSingle-use plastics are extremely harmful to the environment, both in terms of their production and disposal. All plastic creates issues regarding fossil fuel emissions and waste, but single-use plastics are specifically detrimental because they contribute to the immense amounts of waste piling up on our planet. Because these plastics are not biodegradable, according to EarthDay, “79% of plastic that has ever been made still sits in landfills or the natural environment.” While numerous efforts have been made to reduce the amount of single use plastics available, the amount of plastic entering our landfills has yet to substantially decrease. For example, in 2014, California enacted a ban on thin plastic shopping bags at supermarkets and other stores, but allowed customers to purchase bags made with thicker plastics, which retailers argued would make them recyclable and reusable. In reality, consumers were not reusing or recycling the thicker plastic, ultimately leading to an increase in the poundage of plastic trashed per person. Reusable Bags as a Climate SolutionLotus Sustainables aims to eliminate single-use plastic by providing eco-friendly alternatives, with reusable grocery bags and food storage pouches. Founded by Jennifer and Farzan Dehmoubed in 2017, the company aims to eliminate the need for single use plastic. Since its founding, they have been able to divert 5 billion bags from landfills. Lotus also prioritizes ethical and sustainable manufacturing efforts by closely monitoring the production and studying the life cycle of their products. The bags are made with eco-friendly materials such as recycled plastic bottles for fabric and renewable resource products like jute, a plant based fiber. Using these materials ensures that the product is durable and reusable. The process reduces the amount of waste that enters landfills both by using recycled products, and creating a long-term, reusable alternative.Lotus' mission also contains environmental justice initiatives. In pursuit of these goals, Lotus donates 10% of their profits to likeminded companies, including The Plastic Pollution Coalition, the Surfrider Foundation, and Project New Village. Further, according to co-founder Jennifer Dehmoubed, the company donates to “Black-created organizations that focus on food justice, the preservation of land, and enriching agriculture,” with hopes to “repair horrific injustices imprinted in the Earth and bring ownership of the land and agriculture education into the hands and lives of Black people.”Challenges of ImplementationIn order to realize Lotus' goals, consumer demand and legislation must respond to the planet's growing need to eliminate single-use plastic. Without the support of consumers, no amount of legislation or innovation can have an impact. According to Jesse Langley, CEO of Lotus Sustainables, “ Legislation doesn't happen unless there's people behind it…And same thing with businesses, these businesses are not gonna get behind an initiative if Consumers are not looking for it.” About Our GuestJesse Langley is the CEO of Lotus Sustainables and a seasoned entrepreneur in the environmental space, helping to develop climate action plans and greenhouse gas reductions for local governments in California. Lotus Sustainables is a certified B-corp on a mission to eliminate single-use plastic bags.ResourcesNational Resource Defense Council: Single-Use Plastics 101EarthDay: Fact Sheet: Single-Use PlasticsUConn: Lifecycle of Single Use PlasticsABC7: California passed a ban on plastic bags in 2014.

We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!Big brands in the food industry face a double-edged challenge: Make snacks healthy and deliver duller colors and unfamiliar tastes. Eliminating dyes and reducing preservatives and sugar are consumer demands that are forcing food manufacturers to reformulate decades-old products that those consumers have developed taste preferences for. Join Shelley and Misty Skolnick, Co-owner of Uncle Jerry's Pretzels as they discuss how this company in rural Pennsylvania has been producing handmade, 100% natural pretzels as healthy snack options for decades. The conversation covers more than commercial food trends; it explores the challenge from consumers who demand product transparency certification that is resulting in reformulating products that transform familiar food tastes in deference to healthy ingredients. Will this movement collapse when visual appeal and familiar flavors disappear from well-loved products? The food industry is facing an existential crisis balancing wellbeing with familiarity. Unlike food giants scrambling to re-engineer their formulations at scale, smaller producer Uncle Jerry's Pretzels figured this out 40 years ago.Special Guest: Misty Skolnick, Co-Owner of Uncle Jerry's PretzelsFor more strategic insights and compelling content, visit TheRobinReport.com, where you can read, watch, and listen to content from Robin Lewis and other retail industry experts, and be sure to follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.

Wil welcomes guest Ken Stemke, owner of Main Street Social in Libertyville, IL, an upscale Italian-American restaurant with its own wine label. Ken traces his hospitality spark to bussing tables in high school, then a 35-year career in banking that armed him with the financial discipline many restaurants lack. He shares how a seasoned team, empowerment, and a recent, internally driven menu refresh (60+ dishes tested) improved culture and guest experience. The convo dives into COVID cash-flow planning, POS frustrations, the importance of listening to staff and guests, policy headwinds like tip-credit changes, rising costs/tariffs, tech overreach, and why independent restaurants—and local coalitions—are essential to community life. Key Takeaways Banking → hospitality advantage: Ken's finance/accounting background gave him crucial cash-flow and planning skills most operators need but often lack. Seasoned staff pays off: With servers averaging ~40 in age and long tenures, May Street Social avoids much of the turnover drama. Empowerment drives innovation: Shifting decision-making to loyal team members led to a broad menu refresh without outside consultants. Manufacturing mindset: Treat each dish like a mini job—know costs, margins, and process control just as in production. Plan for storms: During COVID, Ken worked off daily cash-flows and prebuilt “Plan A/B/C” responses to policy changes. Policy ripple effects: Eliminating the tip credit (e.g., in Chicago) raises labor costs significantly and can hurt independents more than chains. Tariffs & uncertainty pinch demand: Cost shocks (produce, glass, wine) and scary headlines can temporarily depress traffic. Right-sized tech: Restaurants should resist feature bloat; deploy only tools that simplify ops (Ken is doubling down on using Schedulefly fully). POS matters: Weak reporting and lack of integrations create friction; handhelds and better data can smooth service pacing. Community is the moat: Independent restaurants anchor local identity; forming downtown/indie coalitions amplifies marketing and advocacy.

In this episode, I'm breaking down decision fatigue and why it should never even happen. Most people get tired of making too many choices, but that's only because they don't have the right structure in place. Your brain gets tired just like your body does, but the solution is to set things up so you don't have to keep deciding over and over. I'll share how to reframe this whole idea and give you preemptive solutions so you never hit that wall of decision fatigue again. Show Notes: [02:09]#1 Decision fatigue is a symptom of poor decision systems. [15:50]#2 High performers don't have to make a ton of decisions. [21:12]#3 Fatigue is a byproduct of friction, not a byproduct of effort. [26:17]Recap Next Steps: ---
Newt talks with Patrick McLaughlin, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, where he leads the QuantGov analytics project focusing on regulations. McLaughlin discusses the growth of regulatory requirements from 400,000 restrictive terms in 1970 to 1.1 million today, highlighting the economic friction and opportunity costs associated with regulatory accumulation. He estimates that if regulations had been held constant since 1980, the U.S. economy could be 25% larger by 2012, equating to a $4 trillion increase. They also discuss the impact of the Supreme Court's decision to end Chevron deference, which previously allowed agencies to interpret statutes with significant discretion. Their conversation concludes with an examination of Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin's successful regulatory reforms, which include a 25% reduction in regulatory inventory and the use of AI for cost-benefit analysis, setting a new standard for regulatory management.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
