Real Genius was Val Kilmer's second big screen appearance. His first, Top Secret!, we also covered on this podcast. Like that one, Real Genius is a tremendous showcase for his immense acting talents. This is a truly great 80s comedy, propelled by the infinite charisma of Kilmer as brilliant slacker Chris Knight. It doesn't hurt that William Atherton plays his despicable foil Professor Jerry Hathaway. Atherton just excels at playing an asshole. Thus, as Knight relishes in making a fool of him, the audience can't help but laugh. Alas, Real Genius is on this pod for a reason. Despite being a cult classic now, it fared poorly upon its release, grossing $13 million on a budget of $8 million. Thankfully, people smartened up, cementing its rewatchable status over the years.  Now, sit back, get inspired with a Space Food from Warped Wing Brewing Co., and fill out those entries for the Frito-Lay sweepstakes! The Thunderous Wizard, Chumpzilla, and Bling Blake are unwittingly building murder lasers for the government!

Noel Massie worked for UPS for 42 years, starting at the bottom advancing to VP of US Delivery Operations, overseeing 200,000, led by 12,000 supervisors. Written straight out of his real experience from UPS, his book, Congrats! You've Been Promoted is a practical guide for supervising that is pragmatic, common sensical, engineered around core values and the idea that all employees have their own "terms and conditions." We consider it a must read for PepsiCo, Coke, Frito-Lay and any other direct store delivery operation. Noel is the proud father of two sons, mentor, teacher, and an advocate for first and second graders learning how to read. He and wife devote time campaigning against domestic abuse.  He is on the board for many organizations including Tutormate, Annenberg Foundation. and others. At the heart of Noel Massie is a man that treats others fairly knowing that you can't hope to get more than you give. After all, leadership is the ability to influence behavior.

For two decades, Flamin' Hot Cheetos has been one of the most popular snacks in America. In recent years its legend has grown, as word spread that they were invented by Richard Montañez, a Mexican-American janitor at Frito-Lay who went on to become a company executive. The story made Montañez something of a Latino icon, with two memoirs and a biopic based on his life. But when a journalist at the L.A. Times started looking into this feel-good story, he found a very different tale. This episode originally aired on September 20, 2021, and was produced by Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, and edited by Tracey Samuelson.

He operated seven employee stores at major companies like Texas Instruments, Lockheed Martin, and Frito-Lay and sponsored sales at Fortune 500 companies nationwide.

Shoot us a Text.Welcome to the first week of February, and welcome to guest host Steve Greenfield of Automotive Ventures. Today, we're discussing all the ramifications that President Trump's latest round of tariffs will have on the automotive industry. Plus, we cover Tesla's plans to move more Cybertrucks and why the cost of Super Bowl ads is rising.A fresh round of tariffs signed by President Trump is sending shockwaves through the North American auto industry. With 25% duties on vehicles and parts from Canada and Mexico, and a 10% levy on Chinese imports, automakers and suppliers are bracing for rising costs, potential production shutdowns, and fierce retaliation from trade partners.The tariffs are set to go into effect on February 4, and Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum have pledged retaliation, which could further escalate trade tensions.Prices of vehicles could increase by thousands, like the Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, and Ram 1500 (built in Mexico), the Toyota RAV4 and Tacoma (built in Canada/Mexico) and the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Bronco Sport, and Maverick (built in Mexico)John Bozzella, President for the Alliance for Automotive Innovation: “We support efforts to strengthen the U.S. auto industry, but across-the-board tariffs on Canada and Mexico will only increase costs, disrupt supply chains, and put jobs at risk. We want to work on solutions that achieve the president's goals and preserve a healthy, competitive auto industry in America.”Tesla's Cybertruck sales are falling flat, forcing the company to roll out heavy incentives—including free $6,000 wraps and new leasing options. With demand far below expectations, questions are mounting about whether the Cybertruck is turning into Tesla's first major flop.Tesla launched Cybertruck leases in the U.S., starting at $750/month, a move typically reserved for vehicles with slowing demand.Buyers of Foundation Series Cybertrucks now get a free wrap worth $6,000 as Tesla struggles to clear inventory.Sales have been underwhelming—despite 1M+ reservations, Tesla has sold fewer than 40,000 units, with some analysts estimating that number may drop to 30K in 2025, far below its planned 250K annual capacity.With Super Bowl LIX just around the corner, advertisers are shelling out a record $8 million per 30-second spot. Some big names are sitting this one out—including most automakers—while AI, snacks, and tech brands dominate the lineup.At least 10 commercials have sold for $8M each, up $500K from last year—the biggest price hike in recent Super Bowl history.120M+ viewers expected on Fox and Tubi, making it the biggest stage for advertisers.Traditional big players like Anheuser-Busch, PepsiCo, Frito-Lay, Taco Bell, and Uber Eats are all in, but the only OEMs to appear will be Stellantis' Jeep and RamAI-focused ads and pharmaceutical brands are on the rise, while movie trailers and streaming services areHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Steve Healis graduated from Cal Poly Pomona with an engineering degree but quickly realized he did not want to be an engineer. Procter & Gamble only hired engineers for their entry-level supervisory positions because engineers would have a better understanding of the technology – BUT they had to find engineers who also had people skills. Steve started as a supervisor in the laundry detergent (Tide, Bold, etc.) packaging department and, after two years, was promoted to warehouse manager. During this time, he learned how to hire, fire, discipline, motivate, and manage professionally. Later, he was recruited by Frito-Lay as the Sales Operations Manager, overseeing distribution facilities and the truck fleet in the Pacific Northwest. His last corporate job was as Sales and Customer Service Manager for Technicolor Videocassette in Newbury Park, CA. They duplicated videocassettes for all the major studios (Disney, Warner Brothers, MGM, etc.), and it was here that Steve learned about corporate sales and customer service. Six years of corporate jobs, combined with his engineering background, prepared him perfectly for business ownership. In 1988, a friend from Procter & Gamble asked Steve to join him in growing his part-time janitorial business. Steve said yes, and in six years, they grew the company from one employee to 50. Seeking more, they split in 1994, and Steve started Avalon Building Maintenance, Inc. with 20 employees. Over the next five years, he grew it to 450 employees, making the Inc. 500 list. Engineers with Steve's degree were known as “efficiency experts,” and he incorporated a limousine as a mobile office, equipped for work on the go. In 2002, Steve was approached to sell his company but declined because key employees would be let go. Instead, in 2003, he sold the company to his top employees with a 50-year royalty agreement. This allowed Steve to create a unique way to sell businesses that gives the seller a lifetime of residual income while enabling employees to buy the business with no money down. He has since helped many other businesses sell their companies this way (PassTheBaton.com). This reduced schedule over the last 21 years has allowed Steve the time and resources to launch various businesses, including an employment agency, a computer company, and a home cleaning company. He has started 25 total businesses with 28 partners, employing over 1,500 people, and recently launched a logistics company that helps people receive, inspect, store, deliver, and install high-end furniture in their new home or office. Steve lost his only daughter to mental illness and got divorced in 2018. In 2021, Steve met Andressa in Brazil, and they got married in 2023. -- Critical Mass Business Talk Show is Orange County, CA's longest-running business talk show, focused on offering value and insight to middle-market business leaders in the OC and beyond.

In this episode of the Supply Chain Careers Podcast, we speak with Rick McDonald, most recently CSCO for The Clorox Company, as part of his 32 years with the company, plus multiple previous positions over nine years at Frito-Lay. It all started with a summer job at a metal fabrication factory, growing an interest in developing his efficiency gene. Rick took on the tasks at Clorox that nobody else wanted, enabling his ability to be called on as a fixer, stepping into difficult situations where things were broken. An important lesson he discusses is how to develop teams and lead as you develop trust. Listen as Rick talks about how to approach problems, learn what matters, and develop accountability. He talks about avoiding the straight-up climb of the ladder in favor of lateral moves that can help you connect the dots. Rick tells you to find your passion, develop agility, beef up your emotional intelligence, and increase your digital fluency. He provides a detailed analysis of developing resiliency, then closes with some of the best advice he has heard and likes to provide to others.Need help hiring top talent?

Richard Montañez: Flamin' Hot Fraud or Flavor God? So, let me set the scene. You've got this guy, Richard Montañez, who started out as a humble janitor at Frito-Lay and skyrocketed to fame by claiming he was the culinary genius behind Flamin' Hot Cheetos—the spicy snack that has burned the mouths (and stomach linings) of millions. But, much like biting into one too many of these fiery corn puffs, his rags-to-riches tale left us feeling a little… queasy. Montañez's story was the stuff of legend: a Cinderella tale where instead of a glass slipper, we've got a bag of spicy Cheetos, and instead of a prince, we've got PepsiCo's executives listening to a janitor's revolutionary pitch. According to him, he took inspiration from Mexican street food and his cultural heritage. Cue Hollywood, right? Literally. Eva Longoria directed the biopic, so this narrative was red-hot. But, oh boy, hold your fire extinguisher. Enter the Los Angeles Times like a bucket of cold water to throw over this spicy fairy tale. Turns out, Montañez didn't invent Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Nope. The whole thing was more fiction than fact, like if Hans Christian Andersen had a weird snack obsession. Frito-Lay itself stepped in, like, “Yeah… about that,” and told the Times that “None of our records show Richard was involved in any capacity in the Flamin' Hot test market.” Ouch. That's the snack world equivalent of pulling the rug out from under a Dorito's triangle. It gets worse—Lynne Greenfeld, a Frito-Lay employee, was actually the one who did lead the creation of the spicy snack in 1989. It's like someone claiming to be the inventor of electricity while Ben Franklin's there, kite and key in hand, saying, “Excuse me?” But here's the twist—this man's boldness is hotter than the Cheetos themselves. Montañez kept running with his story, earning up to $50,000 for speaking engagements, writing memoirs, and being immortalized in the aforementioned Longoria-directed film. He might not have invented Flamin' Hot Cheetos, but he sure knew how to sell a good origin story. In a way, you can't help but admire it. The guy took the snack aisle equivalent of Bigfoot and sold it as gospel. He wasn't just eating Flamin' Hot Cheetos, he became one: polarizing, fiery, and unforgettable. So next time you pop open a bag of these nuclear-red, crunchy napalm nuggets, remember: the true story behind them might not be as spicy as the myth, but it's just as wild.

For this episode of Making the switch, we visited the Cummins Jamestown, New York engine plant where the X15N natural gas engine is built. Plant manager Shawn Hricko talks about the diesel-like performance of the industry's first 15-liter natural gas engine which is lighter than the current 12-liter and features up to 10% better fuel economy. Industry analysts estimate that renewable natural gas (RNG) could grow to power one in five heavy-duty trucks in the U.S. over the next decade. UPS, Frito-Lay, Wegmans and other fleets count on RNG to reduce emissions and cut fuel costs. With looming regulations that dramatically restrict nitrogen oxide emissions, trucking fleet managers and executives need to understand the role RNG can play in meeting the new rules. To help unpack the RNG story and assist fleets in making informed decisions about switching from diesel to RNG, we talked with stakeholders throughout the natural gas ecosystem. Following this episode on Cummins, future episodes will feature Kenworth, Hexagon Agility, Clean Energy, Opal Fuels and Paper Transport covering the business case, viability and advantages of RNG for heavy-duty trucks.

In today's episode, we dive deep into the world of Jewish marketing with our esteemed guest, Menachem Lubinsky, a trailblazer and founder of the leading marketing firm, LUBICOM. Join us as we explore various facets of marketing, branding, and the burgeoning kosher food industry through insightful conversations and expert analysis. Menachem Lubinsky shares his inspiring journey from writing newsletters in a bungalow colony to founding LUBICOM, a prominent marketing firm. He emphasizes the significance of professionalism, precision and offers valuable insights into the evolution of the marketing industry and the enduring principles of strong leadership and high standards. Delving into the fundamental role of messaging in advertising, this segment explores the differences and connections between branding and marketing. Using Coca-Cola as an iconic example, Lubinsky discusses the importance of having a robust product before investing in branding efforts. He also highlights the commitment required to maintain consistent brand positioning, particularly for startups, to avoid market confusion. This segment focuses on the process of developing and evaluating business ideas, emphasizing the importance of preliminary research and cautious investment. Lubinsky discusses the pitfalls of presenting undeveloped ideas and the necessity of ensuring an idea is novel and marketable before seeking professional consultation. The conversation also introduces his new podcast, "Kosher Today," which provides updates and trends in the kosher industry. Join us for a fascinating journey through the intricate world of Jewish marketing, branding, and the dynamic kosher food industry, guided by the expertise and experiences of Menachem Lubinsky. Menachem Lubinsky is president & CEO of LUBICOM Business Consulting, which includes a full-service public relations, advertising and marketing firm he that founded in 1984. Mr. Lubinsky is a seasoned business executive whose successes have spanned many industries and is particularly known for his role in the growth and development of the kosher food industry. He is first and foremost a strategic business professional who is frequently consulted by businesses of all sizes. For more than 30 years, LUBICOM Marketing has provided services to a broad cadre of clients in diverse areas, including MCI, Sprint, Coca Cola, Dannon Yogurt, Lea & Perrins, Welch's, Frito-Lay, Hospital for Joint Diseases, Maimonides Hospital, Brookdale Hospital, Metropolitan Jewish Health System, the Luggage and Leather Goods and Shoe Industries, and more than 500 other businesses and not-for-profit organizations.  Mr. Lubinsky is the recognized authority on the kosher food market.  Mr. Lubinsky writes a weekly “The Business Monitor” column for Hamodia and lectures extensively on business topics.

No matter how visually appealing, advertising efforts will fall flat without strong content and a focused message. Marketing's core goal is to get products on and off the shelves. While the mediums may evolve, such as the rise of social media, the essence of marketing remains the same. Major brands often overlook opportunities by not fully engaging with the Jewish market. Expanding beyond just kosher certification can unlock growth by better reaching this community. There is a growing trend towards healthy eating in the kosher market, with increasing demand for organic, gluten-free, and sugar-free products.

#534: We sit down with David Novak, the co-founder and former CEO of Yum! Brands, the giant parent company behind KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and the Habit Burger Grill. David shares stories from his remarkable career, offering insights into leadership, decision-making, and personal growth. We dive into one of David's most memorable projects: the creation of Crystal Pepsi. David talks about how the idea was born out of a gut instinct when he noticed a trend toward clear beverages. The media buzz was massive, and he was convinced it was a winner. But the Pepsi bottlers pushed back, saying it didn't taste enough like traditional Pepsi. David pressed on anyway. The product launched to a lot of fanfare but ultimately flopped.  David reflects on this experience as a lesson in the importance of listening to feedback, even when you're sure you're right. The conversation then shifts to David's unique upbringing. He lived in 23 different states before high school. This taught David to adapt quickly, make friends fast, and assess people and situations—a skill set that became invaluable in his leadership roles. David then takes you through his early career, from being a mediocre student who found his passion in advertising, to making a pivotal move from marketing to operations at PepsiCo. This shift was crucial, setting him up to eventually lead Yum! Brands.  David's journey is filled with stories of hard decisions, like turning down a bigger job at Frito-Lay because it didn't align with what truly made him happy. He shares his philosophy on prioritizing joy and finding fulfillment in your work, a principle that guided his entire career. Leadership is a major theme in the discussion. David talks about the balance between confidence and humility, using Warren Buffett as an example of someone who embodies both. He also shares his thoughts on how to handle criticism and feedback.  According to David, the key is to listen carefully, avoid being defensive, and understand whether the feedback is valid before making decisions. David also offers practical advice on personal development. He talks about his “Three by Five” exercise, where he regularly assesses who he is today and what he needs to work on to become more effective. This habit of self-reflection has helped him stay grounded and continually improve as a leader. The episode wraps up with a discussion on company culture. David believes that creating an environment where everyone feels valued is essential for success. He emphasizes the importance of leaders modeling the behavior they want to see in their teams and being the first to extend trust and positivity. David's stories and insights provide a deep dive into what it takes to lead a major company, make tough decisions, and continually grow both personally and professionally.
