In this Legacy Series episode of NucleCast, Adam speaks with General Paul Tibbets IV, the grandson of the pilot who dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. They discuss the historical significance of the event, the life and legacy of General Tibbets, the preparation and execution of the mission, and the impact of nuclear weapons on warfare. The conversation also touches on the importance of educating future generations about World War II and the necessity of a strong nuclear deterrent. Paul W. Tibbets IV received his commission through the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1989. Following graduation, he served in a variety of operational assignments as a B-1 and B-2 pilot. The general commanded the 393rd Bomb Squadron and 509th Bomb Wing, both commanded by his grandfather during World War II. He flew combat missions in support of operations in Southwest Asia, the Balkans and Afghanistan and was awarded the Bronze Star and Distinguished Flying Cross. Paul retired from the U.S. Air Force as a Brigadier General with more than 4,000 flying hours after nearly 30 years of service. Paul is currently the President and Owner of Strike Advanced Solutions, LLC, as an Independent Consultant. He also works for KBR Corporation as a Senior Manager and Portfolio Lead for Global Strike, based at Barksdale AFB in Bossier City, LA. Additionally, Paul is a First Officer for FedEx Express, flying the B-777.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Legacy of Hiroshima02:34 The Life and Legacy of General Paul Tibbets05:37 The Preparation for the Mission08:15 Challenges and Innovations in Training11:14 The Day of the Mission13:51 The Execution of the Bombing16:36 Reflections on the Aftermath19:40 The Second Bombing Mission22:16 The Impact of Nuclear Weapons on Warfare24:56 Final Thoughts and Wishes for the FutureSocials:Follow on Twitter at @NucleCastFollow on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/nuclecastpodcastSubscribe RSS Feed: https://rss.com/podcasts/nuclecast-podcast/Rate: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nuclecast/id1644921278Email comments and topic/guest suggestions to NucleCast@anwadeter.org

On June 26th, The Wall Street Journal reported that FedEx plans to spin off their freight division - and the most interesting part is why. FedEx Freight is the less-than-truckload (LTL) division of the company. It is the most profitable division, with a recent operating margin over 20 percent, compared to 11.8 percent for FedEx Ground and 2 percent for FedEx Express. The company has realized that the division is so successful it will generate more shareholder value on its own. With estimated valuations between $30 and 50 Billion, it is too big to be bought, but too small of a division of FedEx to stay. Pending an internal review scheduled to be complete later this year, FedEx Freight is likely to have a future as a standalone company. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner covers this story in the larger context of supply chain operations, investment, and profitability: Providing an overview of the current LTL landscape Comparing FedEx Freight's performance with UPS Freight, which the company spun off in 2021 Considering what this move may mean for the supply chain as a whole and for procurement professionals tasked with managing LTL spend Links: FedEx Ground's Contractor Woes Case Dismissed: Spencer Patton Prevails Over FedEx Reading FedEx Ground the RICO Act Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter  Art of Supply on AOP Subscribe to This Week in Procurement

Leslie is first joined by the Chairman of Sonecon, and former U.S. Under Secretary of Commerce for Economic Affairs, Dr. Rob Shapiro. The two delve into his latest piece for Washington Monthly, titled, "Data Don't Lie: Biden's Economic Record is Much Better than Trump's." (Link here: https://washingtonmonthly.com/2024/01/26/data-dont-lie-bidens-economic-record-is-much-better-than-trumps/) Then, Leslie interviews Deputy Director of the Teamsters' Airline Division, Bob Fisher. They discuss why and how workers at FedEx Express and Delta are organizing in an effort to unionize, and why that's so significant nationally.

Leslie is joined by Deputy Director of the Teamsters' Airline Division, Bob Fisher. First, Bob breaks down how Mechanics and related classifications at FedEx Express, the largest cargo airline in the United States, have launched an organizing drive to join the Teamsters. The workers' campaign to form their union grew organically, with the mechanics reaching out to the union, signing thousands of authorization cards, and taking other actions to move along the organizing process all on their own. Second, Leslie and Bob discuss the unprecedented news that the Teamsters, the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers (IAM), and the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA) have united to organize roughly 45,000 Delta Air Lines workers. The Teamsters represent tens of thousands of aviation technicians. Those at companies like United Airlines and UPS Air Cargo are among the highest paid in the craft. Their collective bargaining agreements have raised the bar across the entire industry. However, Delta has been difficult to unionize in the past and has the fewest union members of the four largest passenger carriers (only the pilots and controllers are unionized). A big part of the reason that Delta's techs are organizing is because they have serious concerns about job security. Without a union, they can be terminated for any reason or no reason at all. They also have no protection against outsourcing to foreign repair stations. Outsourcing is a big problem in aircraft maintenance. Not only does it lead to less good-paying union jobs in America. It also threatens passenger safety. Delta outsources a great deal of its fleet maintenance. Atlanta is Delta Air Lines' headquarters and reportedly the largest employer in the city. An organizing victory at the company would be a monumental achievement – not just for the aviation craft, but for the entire labor movement in the South. The Teamsters represent members in the airline industry, including mechanics, customer service agents, reservationists, simulator technicians, ramp agents, stock clerks, dispatch personnel, flight attendants and pilots. The Teamsters Airline Division continues to negotiate some of the best contracts in the industry, making Teamster contracts and membership the best choice for airline-industry employees. Over the past few years, the Teamsters Airline Division has focused its efforts not only on giving their members a voice in the workplace and in Washington, but also on being a voice for the American traveling public.

FedEx will combine nearly all of its ground, air and other operations by June 2024 as part of a $4 billion cost-cutting initiative, the company announced April 5. The planned 14-month, phased-in transition ultimately will consolidate FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Service and other operating companies into Federal Express Corp.

In today's episode, we talk with Kirk Lawrence, the bestselling author of Zero's Heroes, the 1981 true story of when personal trainer Kirk Lawrence was hired by San Francisco 49ers tight end, Charle Young. Their backgrounds were like night and day, but for six months their training became legendary in the Niners organization. Charle's results included leading a Niners team that went from “Laughable Losers to Super Bowl XVI Champions.” Fresno, CA, then gave him The Key to the City.  Kirk's own transformation fueled his fitness career success. His story takes you from when he ran away as a teenager in the dead of night to where he meets Joanie Greggains and makes an impact on morning television. Kirk continued as a consultant to San Quentin prison, coaching fitness students around the world with IDEA, leading the 10,000 person Dole Cup tournament in Japan, being hired by UCSF Medical School to lead a 2 year study on women, exercise and preventing osteoporosis, and training America's public school students with Raisin Youth Fitness, endorsed by Arnold Schwarzenegger and the then 1991 President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.  Everyone wants to feel like a hero. But grit, persistence and determination alone make the difference. No matter what the situation, Kirk went on a coaching quest to be his best. His enduring message is to stick to the fight when you're the hardest hit, it's when things seem the worst-  Rest, but Don't Quit!   ------------------ Kirk grew up, like many children today, in a family that started out like a dream and ended in a divorce. His parent's divorce took place in January of 1965. He was stuck in a toxic environment, and as he got older, the question he needed to answer was how anyone could rise above the constant, toxic, negative divorce stress. He learned from tremendous instructors in Kenpo, Yoga, Wing Chun, weight training with Vince Gironda and Frank Zane, as well from the dance, ballet, and movement instructors at the American Conservatory Theater. He was a graduate of the famous bodybuilding camp, Zane Haven, in Palm Springs, California. These coaches helped Kirk make an impact on physical education and fitness training for men, women, and children.    1975              Black Belt, Chinese Kenpo         1979              1st Personal Training Client 1980              Marine World Conditioning 1981                NFL Personal                           Trainer/Flexibility Coach 1983                Morning Stretch TV                          Show, Music Coordinator 1984                Personal Fitness                          Specialist, Cooper Institute 1984                Men's National                           Aerobics Champion (FitAerobics) 1984                Group Exercise                           Leadership, Cooper Institute 1985                California Department of Corrections                         San Quentin Prison 1986-1990      Continuing Education                           Provider, ACE 1989                Osteoporosis Exercise                           Research, Fitness Director University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)     Co-developed with     Nancy Lawrence,     Fitness Coordinator 1990-1993      Physical Education                         San Mateo/Foster City                           School District 1991-1992      “Raisin Youth Fitness”                         Endorsed by Arnold Schwarzenegger,                                          Chairman                           PCPFS, Co-developed with Nancy Lawrence   Today Kirk lives happily in Indianapolis, Indiana with Dianna, their three kids, and dog, Roscoe.
