Today's episode with John Pemberton from Pemberton Truck Lines is all about creating staying power in the trucking industry through strong company culture, uncompromising standards, and leadership accountability! Stay tuned as we dive into why building long-term customer relationships beats short-term rate chasing, how fleet standardization and preventive maintenance control costs and reduce breakdowns, and why fuel management, driver training, and outward-facing cameras are no longer optional for safety, liability reduction, and insurance control. John also shares how staying focused on what you can control - culture, maintenance, safety, and service - helps carriers navigate market volatility, regulatory pressure, and industry noise, turning challenges into growth opportunities through clarity, discipline, and long-term thinking! About John Pemberton John Pemberton is a second-generation leader at Pemberton Truck Lines, a family-owned trucking company that's been around since 1982. He's focused on building a strong, people-first operation while staying disciplined in a tough industry. Outside of trucking, John is big into endurance sports, which fits his belief that consistency, grit, and long-term thinking matter just as much in business as they do in training.

Have you been to every one of California's 58 counties? Reporter Lisa Morehouse has. For more than ten years, she's travelled around the state, profiling people at the heart of food and agriculture for her series California Foodways. On this week's show, for Lisa's 58th and final story, she takes us to her home county, Santa Clara, to visit a local Chinese restaurant. Over its 55-year history, Chef Chu's has witnessed fast-paced change in Silicon Valley, and has been visited by luminaries in entertainment, politics and business. Both the family behind it, and the community it feeds, can't imagine life without this beloved institution. And it's crunch time for the crews building floats for Pasadena's annual Tournament of Roses Parade. But out of the dozens of massive, ornate, flower-covered floats, only five are built by volunteers from the communities sponsoring them. One of those communities is the foothill town of Sierra Madre, just north of Pasadena. It's been building floats for 108 years, and 2026's theme is special: it celebrates the first responders that helped protect Sierra Madre from the deadly Eaton Fire. Reporter Steven Cuevas gives us a sneak peek as the group races to meet their New Year's Day deadline. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For years, Mackeys Ferry Sawmill in North Carolina relied on exporting its goods to China and Vietnam after a dip in domestic demand for high-quality hardwood. But President Donald Trump’s trade war with China dealt a blow that the mill’s owners say they couldn’t come back from. In July, just months after the president announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs, they decided to shut it down. On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg economics reporter Shawn Donnan goes to the “Old North State” to understand the ripple effect of tariffs on one of the oldest industries in America and how the mill’s owner feels about Trump and his policies, one year after voting for him in the ballot booth.

Dr. Staci Frankowitz Welcome to The Brian Wright Show. A podcast dedicated to entrepreneurs, their team members and their families but for anyone wanting to transform their life, career and/or business in the new economy. After eight seasons as the host of The New Patient Group Podcast, the show has been rebranded to The Brian Wright Show. The Brian Wright Show Audio Experience is hosted by globally renown motivational speaker, business consultant and life coach, Brian Wright. He is a trusted consultant and speaker for some of the biggest name entrepreneurs and corporations in the world, including AlignTechnology, the makers of Invisalign. He has been featured in Forbes, CNBC and The National Journal. He is currently the Founder & CEO of New Patient Group and also WrightChat. He is married and has two children. "Brian Wright is the Tony Robbins of the new economy." Stephanie Solomon - Author What if I told you the most powerful marketing you already own costs nothing, sits inside your front door, and can be deployed the moment you finish this episode? In this episode Brian Wright pulls back the curtain on a simple, overlooked advantage—being family-owned—and shows how that single truth can turn casual customers into lifelong fans who will happily pay more and spread your name through the community. Brian opens by painting a scene from the road: standing after a headline event, hearing the same worries—corporations buying practices, rising competition, the panic to slash prices. Then he points to the counterintuitive truth: when you can't control the economy, you can control your message and the experience inside your doors. He uses sharp, real-world examples—restaurants that never ask for five-star reviews, waiting lists of patients who were told “let me think about it”—to show how millions in revenue are left unclaimed because businesses don't know how to ask or tell their own story. Drawing on surprising studies and crisp anecdotes, Brian layers in data that brings the strategy to life: consumers perceive family businesses as more authentic, trustworthy, and worth paying for, with younger generations especially motivated by shared values and purpose. He cites research that shows willingness to spend more to keep local shops thriving and reminds listeners that 91% of people remain loyal because of experience—proof that how you communicate matters far more than how much you spend on ads. But this is not theorizing. The episode drills into exact ways to use the family-owned message: put it on your website, your social videos, your first phone call, your welcome tour, even a QR code on a postcard that pops up a short owner-led message. Train your team to articulate benefits—consistent care, investments in top-quality materials and technology, transparency about sourcing—and turn those statements into emotional reasons to choose you over a corporate alternative. Brian reframes leadership as the ability to change behavior: it's not enough to have the idea—great leaders implement, repeat, hold people accountable and obsess over hospitality verbiage. He shares tactical prompts you can use today—scripts for phone calls and welcome tours, hospitality-driven statements about investment and community impact, and simple giveback ideas that connect purchases to local outcomes—so you can start converting loyalty immediately. As the episode closes, the message is urgent but empowering: you can reduce ad spend, raise prices, and build a referral machine simply by telling the right story—passionately, transparently, and consistently. If you're a family business, a restaurant, a clinic, or any people-first business, this episode hands you a free marketing blueprint you can implement now to dominate your market without competing on price. Press play, take notes, and then go change the way your people speak to customers—because inside your doors is where reputation is made, prices are justified, and lifelong fans are born.

Lisa is marketing and menu development director of the 185-year-old eatery, as well as the wife of fifth-generation proprietor, Rick Blount. She tells us about the women and men who kept the business in operation through several generations and what she is doing now to preserve their legacy. Also part of the discussion was Ralph Brennan, third-generation owner of the French Quarter institution, Brennan's, as well as four other restaurants. Ralph explains what inspired him to keep Brennan's in business when it was on the verge of closing. He also describes the circumstances that led him to take over The Napoleon House, an even older restaurant institution in the Vieux Carré. While he made some necessary updates to the building, they were designed not to be seen by a customer base who would have balked at the idea of the restaurant changing in the slightest. Rounding out the panel was Executive Chef Edgar "Dook" Chase, IV, who carries on the legacy of his grandmother Chef Leah Chase, as the fourth-generation proprietor of the over 80-year-old Dooky Chase Restaurant. He tells us about how he's keeping his family's legacy alive while giving newer generations an opportunity to move forward.
