I didn't expect the day's biggest story to land before the show even got rolling, but the first major cabinet domino of the Trump administration has finally fallen. Kristi Noem is out as Secretary of Homeland Security.The immediate cause appears to be a congressional hearing exchange that went sideways. During testimony before Sen. John Kennedy, Noem said that a $200 million ad campaign — one that prominently featured her — had been approved by the president. The White House later said it had not, and it's that contradiction that seems to have been the final straw for Trump.It's no secret that the ground had been shifting under Noem for a while. Critical press coverage had been building, particularly around operational issues inside DHS. Some of it focused on headline controversies, but much of it involved the less glamorous details of running a department: delayed contracts, paperwork sitting unsigned, and basic administrative work that insiders say was slipping through the cracks.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Complicating matters was the presence of Corey Lewandowski, who had developed a reputation inside the department as a, let's say, aggressive and polarizing figure. According to people around Washington, he made enemies across the bureaucracy, and those tensions ultimately became inseparable from Noem's own standing within the administration.Trump's apparent choice to replace her is Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, a former MMA fighter who has built a reputation in Washington as a loyal Trump ally and a frequent presence on television.In some ways, Mullin is a pragmatic pick. Replacing a cabinet secretary this late in a term can be politically tricky because any nominee must survive Senate confirmation. A sitting senator already has relationships and credibility inside the chamber, making it easier for colleagues to vote yes even if the appointment is politically uncomfortable.That dynamic worked to the administration's advantage when Marco Rubio moved into a cabinet role earlier in the term, and it could play out similarly here. Senators are often more willing to confirm someone they know than an unfamiliar nominee from outside Washington.Noem's departure also lands in the middle of a broader policy fight. DHS remains partially shut down due to a standoff between Democrats and the administration over immigration enforcement policies.From my perspective, this moment could provide Democrats with a face-saving off-ramp. With Noem gone, they could claim a political victory and move toward reopening the department without appearing to capitulate entirely on their policy demands. The alternative — maintaining a shutdown while security risks mount — carries its own political dangers.When federal security agencies operate without full funding, the political blame game gets complicated very quickly if something goes wrong.Fallout from the Texas PrimariesMeanwhile, the ripple effects from the Texas primary elections are already shaping the next phase of the campaign cycle. Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton are heading toward a runoff, and President Trump has signaled he may intervene with an endorsement.Paxton has already indicated he won't automatically step aside even if Trump backs Cornyn, raising the possibility that the party's internal fight could stretch out for weeks. Democrats, for their part, clearly prefer facing Paxton in the general election given his long history of scandals and investigations.Another runoff will take place in Texas's 23rd congressional district, where Tony Gonzalez is facing intense pressure after admitting he had an affair with a staffer.The admission carries serious implications. Relationships between members of Congress and staff can trigger ethics violations, and Gonzalez now faces an ongoing investigation. Leadership within the Republican caucus is reportedly signaling that even if he wins the runoff, he could still face consequences in Washington.In other words, his political future may already be decided regardless of how the voters rule.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:01 - Kristi Noem00:08:07 - Markwayne Mullin00:11:19 - Interview with Jennifer Doleac00:33:22 - Update00:33:54 - Cornyn/Paxton00:36:47 - Tony Gonzales00:39:36 - Mullin's Senate Replacement00:41:36 - Interview with Jennifer Doleac, con't01:00:14 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Become a partner or contact us On this special series of the Lehigh Valley with Love Podcast, we sat down with candidates running for U.S. House in Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District ahead of the May 19, 2026 primary. To keep this fair and useful, every candidate was asked the same core questions. We also reached out multiple times to Congressman Ryan McKenzie's office and did not receive a response. In this episode, we speak with Aiden Gonzalez, a Bethlehem resident running in the Democratic primary for PA-07. Campaign: https://www.aidenforpa7.com/ Day to day financial stressGonzalez says healthcare is the biggest day to day financial stress he hears about. He also connects affordability to housing, saying his generation is far more likely to rent long term than to own a home. He adds that energy is a leading cause of inflation and ties that to investing in future technology. Healthcare and ACA premium tax creditsGonzalez calls the ACA a great program but a half step, and says the country should move to single payer healthcare. He says more than a million people who were on the ACA last year are not on it this year because subsidies expired, and he connects that to rising premiums and costs. Immigration enforcement, legal pathways, and work authorizationGonzalez emphasizes due process and constitutional protections. He argues that the First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments apply to everyone in the country, not only citizens. He also says the U.S. should encourage talented people to come here to work and contribute, and argues current approaches are driving people away. Warehouses and data centersGonzalez says data centers are not the kind of future focused investment he wants for the region. He argues they raise electricity and water costs and do not create many permanent jobs. He also says the region has enough warehouses and data centers and describes his preference for projects that create lasting jobs and contribute back to the community. HomelessnessGonzalez says immediate relief requires federal funding through Housing and Urban Development to build homes to house people experiencing homelessness. He says the longer term goal should be making home ownership achievable, and he mentions increasing first time home owner loans. He also argues for discouraging large scale corporate landlord practices, including a progressive tax on corporate landlords based on how many residences they buy. Third place in the Lehigh ValleyAsked where he likes to spend time outside of work and home, Gonzalez says he is a big gym person and names Powerhouse Gym in Bethlehem. Sign up for our Newsletter!

Tony Gonzalez is the Chairman, Founder, and CEO of Tire Group International (TGI), a global tire distribution and manufacturing company behind Cosmo Tires. His career traces back to a multigenerational tire business rooted in the 1940s, giving him decades of hands-on experience in product development, brand positioning, distribution, and dealer partnerships across the automotive aftermarket.Known for challenging conventional pricing battles, Gonzalez speaks directly about how value tire brands compete, focusing on product confidence, warranties, marketing consistency, and long-term dealer relationships rather than chasing the lowest price.In this episode…Price wars dominate the tire industry conversation, yet constant discounting erodes margins, weakens brand equity, and trains customers to expect cheaper options. Tire dealers face pressure from online competitors, national chains, and aggressive private-label programs that reshape buying behavior.Tony Gonzalez breaks down how value positioning changes the game. Brand trust, warranty support, product innovation, and consistent messaging define how value tire brands compete today. Shops that understand this shift protect profitability, strengthen customer loyalty, and build more resilient multi-location operations.Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: [01:00] Introduction of Tony Gonzalez and his role at Tire Group International[02:37] Family tire business origins and early industry exposure[06:03] Cultural background shaping business mindset and values[10:07] Launch of Tire Group International and development of Cosmo Tires[13:34] How dealers connect with the brand and distribution channels[15:49] Building a value tire brand without competing solely on price[18:03] Warranty strategy and its impact on customer loyalty[20:13] Early warehouse work shaping leadership perspective[24:46] Importance of storytelling, branding, and cultural influence[33:26] Creation of the Kool Kat mascot and brand identity evolutionResources mentioned in this episode:Tony Gonzalez LinkedInTire Group International WebsiteGet in touch with Cosmo TiresTread PartnersGain Traction Podcast on YouTubeGain Traction Podcast WebsiteMike Edge on LinkedInQuotable Moments:“We're a value-driven brand, but we're not in the market of competing solely based on price.”“We give road hazard on all of the products we sell, and we stand behind them immediately.”“The goodwill you get by giving that kind of warranty and guarantee is next to none.”“Know what you're worth and make sure you're not wrong.”“We really take pride in our marketing and how we represent our brand.”Action Steps:Audit tire lines carried in every location and identify where stronger warranty-backed brands improve margins and customer trust.Train service advisors to explain product value clearly; customer confidence rises when the conversation moves beyond price alone.Study how value tire brands compete and apply similar positioning to shop branding, service packages, and customer messaging.Strengthen supplier relationships that provide marketing support, training, and consistent product quality to stabilize long-term growth.Review warranty communication at the counter; transparent guarantees drive repeat business and referral momentum.

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send a textThis week's enterprise software announcements reflect a broad, coordinated push toward AI-native experiences layered across collaboration, operations, finance, and core business platforms. Salesforce's latest version of Slack, Oracle's role-based AI agents for Fusion Cloud, and SAP's extension of its business suite all signal that hyperscalers are embedding AI directly into day-to-day workflows rather than positioning it as a standalone add-on. In parallel, Sprinklr's new AI capabilities and Upstream Works' enhanced agent desktop extend this trend into customer experience and contact center operations, while Kantata's new AI platform targets the specialized needs of professional services firms. NetSuite's “Next” roadmap reinforces Oracle's mid-market modernization strategy, and ScienceLogic's reimagined applications highlight how observability and IT operations are also being reshaped by AI-first design principles. Rounding out the picture, Cleo's invoice payment and financing solution underscores growing pressure to modernize B2B financial operations, while Sage's acquisition of Criterion signals continued consolidation in the HCM space—together illustrating a market that is rapidly standardizing on AI-driven interaction layers even as vendors compete to redefine their category boundaries.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendors. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-5FOS9QamYQuestions for Panelists?

Tony Gonzalez and his reported relationship with a former district staffer, whose tragic death last year has sent shockwaves through Texas politics and beyond.

Beyond the personal tragedy, we also examine the political fallout, from calls for Gonzalez's resignation and the potential for an expulsion vote to the razor-thin House majority and what this scandal could mean for the upcoming Texas primary.Disclaimer: This episode contains graphic descriptions of sexual misconduct and self-harm.Follow Juliegrace Brufke on X/Twitter.Chapters00:00 - Intro and Disclaimer03:25 - The Tony Gonzales Case with Juliegrace Brufke07:16 - What We Know and Background14:51 - New Details of the Case and Gonzales', Local, and Congressional Responses28:59 - Sealed Files, Endorsements, and Other Fallout37:26 - Gonzales' Relationships in Congress and Blackmail Allegation Details41:53 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.Are you aware that the legal protections for surrogate pregnancy mothers in the workplace remain shrouded in ambiguity? Join Mark Carey in this enlightening episode of the Employee Survival Guide®, where he navigates the intricate landscape of surrogacy pregnancy protections and pregnancy discrimination laws. As an employee, understanding your rights is crucial, especially in a world where discrimination can manifest in various forms—be it pregnancy discrimination, gender discrimination, or even retaliation. Mark dives deep into foundational laws like the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), revealing how they intertwine to protect working women. However, the conversation doesn't stop there; he sheds light on the less-defined legal realm surrounding surrogacy pregnancy, a topic that often gets overshadowed in discussions about employee rights. Mark discusses landmark court cases such as Young v. United Parcel Service, which clarified protections for pregnant employees, and Gonzalez v. Maria International, which recognized the rights of surrogate mothers to request reasonable accommodations in the workplace. These cases highlight the ongoing legal challenges and ambiguities that surrogate mothers face, especially when it comes to workplace accommodations and potential discrimination. As the landscape of employment law evolves, it's vital for employees to stay informed about their rights, particularly in the context of surrogacy pregnancy and caregiving. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the complex world of employment law issues.

Galen Clavio sits down with Griffin Gonzalez for an “exit interview” that turns into a perfect snapshot of what the last few years of Indiana football have felt like from inside Memorial Stadium.Griffin shares what it was like serving as IU football's on-field mic personality through the program's lowest moments — and then watching the place transform into a full-blown destination as the wins (and the crowds) exploded. They talk about the unseen work that goes into fan experience, the pressure of “being the ambassador of fun” even on brutal Saturdays, and the upgrades that changed the in-stadium production along the way.Plus: Griffin explains why he's leaving Indiana for a new on-air opportunity in Boston, tells the behind-the-scenes story of Hoosier the Bison's return (and the stress of introducing him), and reflects on the playoff run as a lifelong IU fan who never really let himself believe something like this could happen.
Sit... Stay... Talk about it! This incredible episode is all about our very best friends, and the most adorable heroes of the epilepsy community, dogs! Greg chats with Katie Gonzalez, founder of Little Angels Service Dogs. LASD is a nonprofit that trains incredible canine candidates and passes the graduates on to families in need of a service dog for so many medical conditions, from seizure alert to autism help, mobility assistance, diabetes, stress and anxiety disorders, and so many more. In this part 1 (part 2 is coming soon where Greg will go to the center and see the training in action), they talk about the dogs' incredible ability to detect an oncoming seizure by smelling chemical changes in a person's body. Katie has not only dedicated her life to training these incredible animals, but also to the science behind these chemical changes and how dogs can detect it. She even wrote the book - literally - on training your service dog based on this research! Plus, Greg asks general questions about best practices when it comes to our good boys and good girls, and Greg and Nick battle over who has the cuter dog. Do not miss this episode, otherwise you won't get your treat! Talk About It with Greg Grunberg is excited to be sponsored by Neurelis and by Jazz Pharmaceuticals.
Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez is the co-founder of the seaweed-based packaging company, Notpla. He and Pierre Paslier started working together in a kitchen while students at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College in 2013 and have since gone on to create a genuinely global brand. Essentially, Notpla aims to replace single-use plastic products – a huge issue with the world producing somewhere in the region of 400 million tonnes of plastic waste annually, and packaging estimated to account for 33 per cent of that. Like many people, Material Matters first came across the company a little under a decade ago when it launched Ooho, an edible bubble made from a seaweed membrane that contained water – or in some instances a rather strong cocktail – and, since then, the company has gone on to win numerous awards, including the inaugural Earthshot Prize in 2022.In this episode we talk about: the mis-use of plastic; Ooho's curious name; using seaweed at the London Marathon; why the material is the perfect replacement for plastic; the historic uses of seaweed – in glass, medicine and even beer; making paper and spoons from the material; flying water balloons over Hyde Park; how Notpla started as a side project; the importance of crowd funding to its beginnings; working from a kitchen table and being ‘parasites' of Imperial College; scaling up; meeting resistance from the plastic industry; concerns over bio-plastics; the effect Covid had on the company; and not wanting to be an architect.Support the show
Arch West had the heart of an entrepreneur and liked to take risks. Unfortunately he worked for Frito-Lay and had bosses to convince. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [AirVantage Heating & Cooling Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. I’m Dave Young and Stephen Semple is here with another Empire Builders story. And today, whispered in my ear as the countdown started that we’re going to talk about Doritos and Tostitos. And my brain instantly had electric shot go through it because are they the same? Are Tostitos and Doritos, is it the same company? Is Frito-Lay- Stephen Semple: Same company. Yeah, yep. Frito-Lay. Dave Young: Yeah. How about Takis? Stephen Semple: Oh, I don’t know. Dave Young: They get bought up yet? Stephen Semple: I don’t know. But [inaudible 00:02:04] did, they were actually created by Frito-Lay. Dave Young: By Frito-Lay. Again, back to my childhood, we’d go to the lake in the summer and always had bags and bags of nacho cheese flavored Doritos. Stephen Semple: There you go. Dave Young: And my mom used to say, “We’re going to eat so many of these. There’s just going to be corners poking out of us.” Oh my gosh. They’ve been around a while. Stephen Semple: They have been around a while. Yeah, they were launched in 1966. Dave Young: Doritos or … Stephen Semple: Doritos was done first and it was launched by Frito-Lay in 1966. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Today, Doritos is part of Pepsi. And the estimated sales coming from Doritos is like 2 to $3 billion a year in sales. That’s a lot of cheese nachos. Dave Young: It is. Stephen Semple: It’s one of the top snack brands in the world sold in over 100 countries. So now while it’s a product inside of a big company, there’s a reason why I feel like it’s a bit of an empire building story because it’s an interesting little story of risk taking an entrepreneurship inside of this big corporation. That’s why I felt like it still kind of fits. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: And it’s all because of the actions of a guy by the name of Arch West, who’s a Frito-Lay executive. And when you hear this story, you realize he’s got a heart of an entrepreneur and is a bit of a risk-taker. Dave Young: Arch West. Stephen Semple: Arch West. So Arch came from nothing. He was raised in a youth home. He went to the military. And after the military, he gets into food marketing and he becomes a VP at Frito-Lay. Now, our story starts in the late 1950s. And like all good stories, it starts with a visit to Disneyland at Anaheim because that’s where all great stories start. Dave Young: So Arch goes to Disneyland. Stephen Semple: So Arch goes to Disneyland. And in Disneyland, there’s a restaurant called Casa de Fritos, which of course has been created. I don’t know if it’s still there, but at the time Casa de Fritos, which was basically created for distributing Frito’s products. It’s like this made up Mexican restaurant in the international food area of Disneyland. And remember, this is the ’50s. Dave Young: So Frito’s was in existence. Stephen Semple: Yes. Fritos was in existence. Dave Young: The little curly corn chip thingies. Stephen Semple: Correct. That was in existence. Dave Young: So I keep thinking like Lay’s Corporation- Stephen Semple: Frito-Lay had already merged at this point. Dave Young: So Frito became Frito-Lay? Stephen Semple: Yep. So it was Frito-Lay, wasn’t part of Pepsi yet, but it was Frito-Lay. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: And they had this restaurant in Disneyland called Casa De Fritos for distributing Frito products. And as I said, it’s this made up Mexican restaurant, because remember this is the 50s in Disneyland. So how authentic is it? Probably not at all. Dave Young: Probably had Speedy Gonzalez and his friends. Stephen Semple: Right- Dave Young: … Taking orders. Sure. Stephen Semple: As you can imagine. But as the story goes, what was happening was they were throwing out … At the end of the day, if tortillas were left over, they were throwing them out. And a Mexican delivery guy said, “You shouldn’t be throwing these things out. You should cut them up and deep-fry them and serve them as tortilla chips.” Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So Arch tastes these tortilla chips and he was like, “Wow, these have a really interesting flavor.” And he thinks to himself, I think there’s an untapped opportunity here and we can make something of this. So first he’s got to sell the ideas to his bosses. So Arch West makes a presentation to the executives and they’ll look at him and say, “Yeah, leave development to R&D. They create the stuff you sell it.” Dave Young: Stay in your lane, buddy. Stephen Semple: Stay in your lane, buddy. Now remember I said at the beginning, Arch is a risk-taker and has the heart of an entrepreneur? So what does Arch do with this no? Dave Young: I mean, he’s going to take them home and fry them. I don’t know. Stephen Semple: Yeah, he ignores it. He takes some discretionary funds that he has and he applies them to developing the chip. Dave Young: Okay. Good for Arch. Stephen Semple: He does this for three years. Dave Young: Three years- Stephen Semple: … Inside of Frito-Lay, he’s developing these chips with these discretionary funds for three years because he can’t make them the way they made them in the restaurant because it’s got to be shelf stable. So there’s kind of a bit of a challenge to making them. So after three years, he creates this secret shelf staple tortilla that he now has to get approved by the bosses, the very same bosses who three years ago told him, stick in his lane that he’s used company funds to develop. Dave Young: Oh, Arch, I love you. Stephen Semple: Right. Do you see why I believe this story deserved to be here? So he has this plan to convince bosses. He arranges to have the chips secretly supplied to the bosses before the meeting and he arrives late on purpose because he figures they’ll all try them. And his hope is, well, they better like them. Dave Young: They better like them. Yeah. Stephen Semple: So it turns out the board likes them. And at this point, he already has a name for them because he wanted it to sound like something easy and he wanted to have this foreign feeling. And he also liked this idea of combining Fritos and Cheetos because Cheetos had already been out there. So Fritos, Cheetos, Doritos. Dave Young: Doritos. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And they decide to launch it. So they launch it in 1966. Doritos is launched and it’s the only tortilla chip around. And the Baby Boomers are coming of age. They want to market this chip to the Baby Boomers. So if you’re going to market to it, what do you call it? You call it the With It Chip. This is the With It Chip because that’s the with it generation. Dave Young: Because it’s with it. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So just tell people it’s with it and it’ll all work out because they’ll all think it’s hip and cool. Dave Young: Yeah. I can see that happen. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Bombed- Dave Young: … Calling it riz. Stephen Semple: Yeah, it bombed because here’s the problem. The chips were plain and chips at the time are used for dipping and dips were popular at parties, but that was with the Boomers’ parents, not the kids. So it was not so with it actually. Turns out to be not with it at all. So there was this great disconnect because the kids are like, “We don’t do dip.” The parents were the ones doing dip and the parents didn’t want to do … It was this complete failure in terms of positioning. So around this time, Wayne Calloway joins the company. Wayne doesn’t see that product as a failure because he looks at it and he says, “Look, here’s the problem. Boomers don’t want to use it as a dip, but they still want the flavor, so we need to add flavor.” And around this time- Dave Young: “We need to make the dip into a powder and apply it to the chips.” Stephen Semple: Right. And around this time, Frito-Lay had been investing tons of money into food science. And there was this new emerging technology called gas chromatography, which basically breaks down the elements so you can figure out how to make an artificial powdered form of things. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So after months of experiments, the team presents a range of options. So they now have to choose a flavor. And here’s how they looked at things. And this is the other reason why I think there’s great lessons here, because we always talk about looking around the world for ideas. Taco Bell had come on the scene around this time and was growing really, really quickly and was super popular. When Taco Bell first came out, it exploded. So the first flavor they looked at was … Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: Taco Bell had come on the scene around this time and was growing really, really quickly and was super popular. When Taco Bell first came out, it exploded. So the first flavor they looked at was taco flavor. Dave Young: Okay. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Because they’re like, “Well, look, there’s this thing going on over here.” Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: And it sells well, but they’re still not completely satisfied. So what they noticed was as Mexican food is growing, they noticed that nachos are starting to become a common restaurant idea. Dave Young: Yeah. And that’s just cheese. There’s no such thing as nacho cheese. It’s just cheese. Stephen Semple: It’s just cheese. So in 1972, they launch nacho flavored Doritos and in the first year, sales rise $60 million on the back of that. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So West gets promoted, Calloway’s now President. Dave Young: What year? Stephen Semple: That was 1972. Dave Young: ’72. Yeah. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So West gets promoted. Calloway’s now President. And the other thing, trend that’s going on U.S. is in the 1970s, vacationing in Mexico becomes really popular. It’s happening in record numbers and Mexican restaurant chains are popping up all over the place because people experience Mexican food, want to have it at home. And what’s really popping up? Guacamole. Big trend is guacamole. So they decide they need to create a restaurant style chip for dipping. Isn’t it interesting now we’re going back to dipping? Dave Young: Now we’re going back to the dips because people love this guacamole. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So dipping is back. And so what they do is they create Tostitos, a restaurant style chip for dipping and guacamole. And in less than a year, they do $140 million in sales and it’s the most successful product in Frito-Lay history. Dave Young: Wow. Stephen Semple: The other fun thing they do is in 1986, they create a flavor for Doritos called Cool Ranch flavor. And the only reason why I love sharing this is this has a really funny circular story because they came across this ranch dressing from this little tiny company called Hidden Valley. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: And they looked at that flavor and they went, “That’d be a great flavor for the Doritos.” And they just called it Cool Ranch Rather than Ranch. And it was another home run, $120 million in the first year, but it worked out so well that it actually inspired Hidden Valley to take their product national. Dave Young: Oh, wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: So it was like Doritos discovered from Hidden Valley, sold all this stuff. Cool Ranch became so popular that Hidden Valley went, “Wait a minute, we could do this salad dressing now nationwide.” And in 1990, Doritos becomes the most popular chip in the world with a billion dollars in sales. Dave Young: Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So while it was already a big company well established, I still kind of felt like there was a cool little story in there because again, it was about … They’d be looking out and looking at these trends and going, “Well, let’s tap into this trend. Let’s tap into this trend. Let’s tap into this trend,” while it was in the food space, it wasn’t in the snack space. So it was still an industry beside them. I have to admire his chutzpah of being told no and then taking company discretionary funds and basically spending three years developing the product right under their noses. Dave Young: Yeah, definitely an entrepreneurial streak in there. Stephen Semple: Yeah, no [inaudible 00:13:56]. Dave Young: Well, cool. I’m glad I know all this now. Back in the day, I started eating those chips right when they first came out, Stephen, I’m pretty sure. Stephen Semple: Yeah. The other part I found interesting on it was that, again, this whole idea of, let’s call it the With It chip and thinking just by saying that, that that’s enough. And then on top of that, having a product that was also completely out of sync with the market that you were trying to go to because it had to be dipped and their target market was not dipping. It was their parents that was dipping. I just found that so interesting that there was that much of a disconnect in terms of, “Well, let’s just call it, let’s just call … Our socioeconomic studies say this, so let’s just call it that and we’ll make it so.” And we see that so often as a mistake in marketing where it’s like, no, you actually have to freaking understand your customer and not just from, “Oh, they’re 26 years old and they drop …” How do they think? How do they behave? How do they act? Where are they consuming? Oh, they consume. Oh, they consume the product while at the beach. Okay. Well, they’re not freaking taking dip. Dave Young: Right, right. Stephen Semple: Right. It was such a miss and so typical of how a lot of companies look at things when they put together their marketing plan. Dave Young: Here’s the thing. People were starting long distance cross country road trips too. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Man, it’s hard to eat. It’s hard to eat chips and dips while you’re driving. Stephen Semple: Not happening. Dave Young: You can eat a bag of Doritos all day long behind the wheel of a car and stop and get another [inaudible 00:15:28]. Stephen Semple: So I also have to give credit to Wayne Calloway that he came along and saw that disconnect. He said, “No, this is a great product, but here’s the disconnect. The disconnect is not that the product isn’t great. The disconnect is people aren’t going to dip it. That’s the disconnect.” But then to later notice that dip is coming back, because it’ll be easy to go with dip is out, later noticing dip coming back in the form of guacamole and saying, “Hey, in fact, let’s go back to really what the original Dorito was, which was this unflavored tortilla that you could use for dipping.” It’s kind of funny that it went full circle. Dave Young: But even so, like my parents, because they were of the dipper generation, had a recipe for chili cheese dip that you would use with the nacho cheese Doritos. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Okay. Dave Young: It was really good. Stephen Semple: All right. All right. Dave Young: Not so much if you’re driving. Stephen Semple: But you were a very sophisticated family having something like that. Dave Young: Well, yeah. Absolutely. Stephen Semple: So again, I just thought it was an interesting story. And again, one of those ones, keeping your eye out, looking a little bit outside of your industry, because all of these ideas came from trends they saw in the restaurant industry, not the snack food industry. Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. Good observations. Well, thank you. Now I know a lot more about Doritos and Tostitos and why I don’t dip anymore. Stephen Semple: And it’s funny when you think about the recent Doritos advertising, when you talk about your mom making the comment, Doritos now runs a lot of ads where they don’t even use the word Doritos in the ad. They just show the triangle. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: And as soon as you show that triangle, what do we all think? Dave Young: That’s classic brand code. Stephen Semple: Right. Yes. Dave Young: McDonald’s is doing that. They’re just either using- Stephen Semple: The arches. Dave Young: Yeah. Just the arch or- Stephen Semple: Or even a piece of the arch. Dave Young: And then just the sound, just ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. That’s it. Once you get into empire territory, you can start doing fun things like that. Stephen Semple: Yep. And really own the mind and really own the space. Hats off to the host of Frito-Lay in terms of the stuff that happened over there. And I just, again, didn’t exactly fit our stuff, but I thought it did enough just because of the craziness. So that happened inside the company. Dave Young: I’m down for a fun story about business and food. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Rebels inside the four walls. Dave Young: That’s right. Thanks, Stephen. Stephen Semple: All right. Thanks, David.

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send a textThis week's enterprise software headlines highlight a market simultaneously accelerating into agentic AI while still wrestling with the structural and legal fallout of past transformation failures. On the innovation front, Genstore's $10M seed round, Tray.ai's launch of the Tray Agent Hub, and new agentic releases from Mendix and OutSystems underscore how aggressively vendors are repositioning around autonomous workflows and AI-first orchestration layers. ServiceNow's unveiling of its AI Experience and Plex's connected worker integration push the same narrative into IT service management and manufacturing operations, signaling that agentic concepts are no longer confined to experimental edges of the stack. At the same time, a parallel storyline of governance and execution risk is playing out, with Zimmer Biomet's $172M ERP lawsuit against Deloitte, Europe's continued delays fixing a troubled Oracle system, Daedong USA's faltering ERP injunction, and the EU Commission's investigation into SAP's practices reinforcing how fragile large-scale enterprise transformations remain. Together, these developments paint a bifurcated 2026 landscape: rapid platform innovation driven by AI ambition on one side, and unresolved accountability, regulatory scrutiny, and implementation risk on the other.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendors. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3VmbEsy5uQQuestions for Panelists?
