In this episode, Hallie Bulkin dives into a topic we all need to hear as we navigate Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the rest of the holiday season: how our festive food and drink habits directly impact our sleep and breathing.It's about more than just your waistline, what you eat and drink this time of year directly affects your airway health and daily function. Hallie connects the dots between common holiday culprits like sugar and alcohol, and poor sleep quality, snoring, and overall well-being. She emphasizes the importance of moderation, modeling good habits for your kids, and creating simple strategies to thrive through the season.In this episode, you'll learn: ✔️Why sugar contributes to inflammation throughout the body, which can cause swelling and restrict an already tight airway. ✔️How consuming too much sugar can lead to sleep-disordered breathing, disrupted sleep, and snoring. ✔️The signs of sugar impact in children (hyperness followed by a hard crash, restless sleep) and adults (frequent nighttime waking, morning exhaustion, or a "low-level cloud" feeling). ✔️Why alcohol acts as a muscle relaxer, which can cause airway muscles to be more easily collapsible, leading to more snoring and potentially more apnic events. ✔️The benefit of balancing carbohydrates (sugar) with protein, fiber, and fat to help your body process food with greater ease. ✔️Simple strategies for both adults and families to focus on airway health during the holidays.RELATED EPISODES YOU MIGHT LOVEEp 332: The Interconnectedness of Oral and Systemic Health with Amber White RDH, HHPEp 333: Transforming airway health & smiles with MARPE featuring Dr. Svitlana Koval, DMD, MSc, BDSOTHER WAYS TO CONNECT & LEARN

From IBM and Microsoft to serving as Chief Business Officer at Google X, Mo Gawdat has spent over three decades at the forefront of technology and innovation. Today, the bestselling author turns his engineer's mind toward life's biggest question: how can we live well and meaningfully in an age defined by artificial intelligence? This monumental 2.5 hour episode, which Mo Islam called “the best I've ever shot”, is a journey through life, loss, and the future of humanity.Mo Gawdat opens up about his late son Ali and the lessons that inspired ‘Solve for Happy', before diving into the decade of disruption ahead: from the rise of AI and autonomous weapons to universal basic income and the impending economic reset. Together, the two Mo's explore why Arabs are so misunderstood in the West, how ethical AI must be grounded in love and empathy, and how the Middle East can lead the next wave of innovation.  They challenge the failures of modern education, the grip of the military-industrial complex, and even the mysteries of the space-time continuum, all while searching for meaning in what Mo calls the “legendary level” of modern life. A very big thanks to Merwas Studios in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for inviting us to shoot in their WORLD CLASS Studios! 00:00 Intro03:18 IBM, Microsoft & Google X05:07 Losing Ali: The Moment Everything Changed09:27 Writing Solve for Happy11:41 Leaving Google & Launching “1 Billion Happy”13:35 Living with Loss17:05 Fate, Life & the Interconnectedness of Everything23:04 Death as the Opposite of Birth26:02 The Video Game of Life31:23 Ali's Death & Mo's Purpose34:53 Redefining Success: Impact over Ego38:54 Learning, Curiosity & Creation44:08 Solitude & Silent Retreats49:01 Meditation Practices55:13 Mindfulness in Daily Life57:06 The Loneliness Epidemic1:01:02 East vs. West: Community vs. Individualism1:05:10 Surveillance, Privacy & the Illusion of Security1:08:11 Raising Children in a Broken World1:11:03 The Collapse of Capitalism & the Rise of AI1:21:16 China vs. The West1:24:06 The Illusion of Stock Markets & Institutional Control1:30:03 War Economics: How Weapons Drive Profit1:35:19 Humanity's Awakening & Questioning the System1:41:08 Reclaiming the Arab Narrative1:47:27 Building Ethical AI1:52:18 Entrepreneurship, Self-Reliance & Believing in the Region2:00:03 Education is Broken2:07:03 Business vs. Capitalism: Purpose Over Profit2:10:00 Reclaiming Global Perception2:17:13 Governance, Fairness & Leadership in the Arab World2:22:06 Living in Uncertain Times2:25:17 The Ultimate Video Game of Life2:26:57 Closing Reflections

Discussing how Empathy is not a call to action, but Instead, is a sense, like hearing, which we can learn to use to our benefit and as a means of enhancing our life and relationships. 

Michael Jaco and Leo Zagami join forces to expose the dark truths behind Jeffrey Epstein's empire and the hidden sects that empowered him. From his connections to elite figures like Les Wexner and Steven Spielberg to the deeper links with the Illuminati, Mega Group, and Sabbatean Frankists, this discussion unpacks the hidden power networks that shaped one of the world's most sinister scandals. Leo draws from his extensive research and latest work to uncover the occult, political, and financial mechanisms that kept Epstein untouchable for years. Together, they trace these threads back to ancient secret societies, global corruption, and the ongoing manipulation of humanity through deception and control.

This episode dives deep with Benny Fergusson, a foundational member of the show, about his journey from marketing to a career focused on connection, particularly with the body. Benny recounts how his early experiences with marketing highlighted a disconnect from himself, leading him to explore inner connection. He emphasizes that true wants come from within, citing the example of herbs like ashwagandha that foster inner connection.   Benny's current work, the Neurosomatic School, is all about understanding the body and its relationship to life. He shares his personal struggles with spinal issues in his 20s, which forced him to slow down and reconnect. He critiques externalized views of the body, like those in sports, where the body is seen as a tool for tasks rather than a source of inner wisdom.   The conversation touches on the modern world's approach to bodywork, with Mason noting the proliferation of practices like weights, yoga, and meditation to keep society from "breaking." Benny introduces his "SAFE" acronym for cultivating awareness: See, Allow, Feel, Embody. He explains that true healing isn't about fixing something broken, but about allowing what is, and creating the environmental circumstances to support the body's natural healing process. He challenges the idea of "letting go" as an act of doing, emphasizing the need to develop internal reference points for states like relaxation.   Benny also discusses the importance of integrating practice into daily life, rather than separating it as a form of escapism or spiritual ego. He advocates for exploring the full spectrum of human experience, from love to hate, to truly embody qualities. He highlights the interrelationship of things in the body, using knee pain as an example where the focus should be on supporting structures like the ankle and hip, rather than just the knee itself.   The discussion then shifts to the Neurosomatic School's approach for practitioners, focusing on bringing humanity back to health and addressing the "wounded healer" dynamic. Benny stresses the importance of personal embodiment for practitioners, as you can only guide others where you've been yourself. He outlines the school's four pillars: connection, breathing, mobility, and cultivation, emphasizing a pragmatic, individualized approach rather than a "one-size-fits-all" methodology. He aims to develop "all-terrain vehicle practitioners" who can adapt their tools to different contexts and individual needs.   Key takeaways from Benny and Mason: [00:00:37] Internal Connection as a Foundation   [00:04:43] Holistic Body Understanding   [00:17:57] Interconnectedness of the Body   [00:17:57] Pragmatic and Individualized Methodology   [00:23:47] The "SAFE" Framework for Awareness   [00:38:02] Integrating Practice into Daily Life   [00:41:48] Practitioner Embodiment and Humanity  Call to Action Alright, so we've just ripped into a deep chat with Benny Fergusson, one of the OG members of the show, about ditching the external hustle and getting real about internal connection. If you're being honest with yourself and you're tired of just throwing bodywork at a problem to keep from 'breaking,' this is your next, essential step.   The Neurosomatic School isn't just theory; it's the pragmatic, individualized approach that moves beyond the spiritual ego and 'unembodied advice.' It's time to truly apply the SAFE Framework and embrace the messy spectrum of human experience. Remember, as Benny says, you can only guide others where you've been yourself.   Dive into the four core pillars: Connection, Breathing, Mobility, and Cultivation. This work is about building real, internal reference points and developing those "all-terrain vehicle" skills.   Ready to get out of the superficial and start living the work? Don't just listen to the wisdom—go embody it.

In this deeply personal and inspiring episode, we sit down with Dr. Michael W. Fox, a pioneering veterinarian, ethologist, and longtime advocate for the welfare and dignity of animals. With a career spanning more than six decades, Dr. Fox's work has profoundly influenced how we understand and relate to animals - ethically, emotionally, and spiritually.Dr. Fox shares what inspired him to become a veterinarian, reflecting on his lifelong commitment to healing the fractured relationship between humans and the natural world. Together, we explore what humanity must do to restore balance, compassion, and kinship with the beings we share this planet with - and how doing so will also help us heal ourselves.Drawing on his friendships with visionaries like Thomas Berry and Paul Winter, and his experiences learning from Indigenous elders, Dr. Fox brings a rare depth of wisdom to this conversation. His insights remind us that caring for animals is not only an act of service but also a path to spiritual renewal and reconnection with the Earth.

We explore Día de los Muertos as a ritual that nurtures community, imbues loss with meaning, and helps us process grief while also connecting through shared joy.Summary: We investigate how Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead,  rituals strengthen family ties and cultural identity, and learn about its evolution from a 3,000 year old practice to a global celebration. We look at key elements like the ofrenda and explore how commercialization—like Mattel's Day of the Dead Barbie—raises questions about balancing tradition with modern influences.This episode is made possible through the generous support of the John Templeton Foundation.How To Do This Practice: Set an intention: Begin by reflecting on who or what you want to honor, focusing on connection and gratitude rather than loss. Let this intention guide the energy of your ritual. Create a space of offering: Choose a spot in your home and make it a place of remembrance. Gather meaningful items like photos, flowers, candles, or anything that holds personal or ancestral significance. Invite the elements: Bring in water, fire, wind, and earth in simple ways—perhaps a candle, a glass of water, a plant, or a piece of fabric that moves gently in the air—to represent balance and harmony. Add a personal touch: Offer something that carries memory, like a favorite food, scent, or song of someone you love. These gestures transform remembrance into a living connection. Gather in community: Invite others to join you in building the altar or sharing stories and food. Coming together in this way turns memory into collective celebration and strengthens belonging. Reflect and release: When the ritual feels complete, take a few quiet moments to notice what you feel. Offer gratitude for the connections that remain and carry their presence forward into daily life.

What if the key to solving the mysteries of modern physics lies not in new mathematics, but in a physical interpretation of the mathematics we already have?This week, we begin a deep, two-part conversation with Dr. Chantal Roth about the Elastic Aether Theory—one of the first serious contenders we've found for a material interpretation of fundamental physics. Dr. Roth's quest for a deeper understanding of the universe begins by taking the mathematics of General Relativity, applying a set of material science axioms, and deriving what the mathematics of light and gravity tell us about the physical properties of the universe. Check out part 2, where we dive into the ether-based mechanisms for mass, light, charge, electricity, and gravity.

We make the world, and unmake that which doesn't serve, by our everyday actions and inactions, our intentional taking care and our turning away. What does it take to have the courage, humility and compassion to attend as fully as we can to the world, to step towards a world we want to live in? This week's conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace. Episode Overview 00:00 Welcome to Turning Towards Life 02:49 The Joy of Coaching and Community 07:08 Understanding the Shambhala Warrior 12:17 Interconnectedness and Community Resilience 17:08 Humility in Compassionate Action 23:12 The Complexity of Truth and Instant Gratification 28:46 The Call to Action and Hope Here's our source for this week: Joanna Macy: The Shambhala Warrior Now the time comes when great courage is required of the Shambhala warriors, moral courage and physical courage. That is because they're going right into the heart of the barbarian's power to dismantle their power and dismantle their weapons, weapons in every sense of the word. As they make their way into the pits and citadels where the armaments are made, so are they also entering the corridors of power where decisions are made. Now, heed this. The Shambhala warriors know these weapons can be dismantled. That is because they are manomaya, an old word that means “mind-made.” Made by the human mind, they can be unmade by the human mind. The dangers facing us are not fashioned by some satanic deity or by an evil extraterrestrial force or by some immutable preordained fate. These dangers are created by our relationships, our habits, our choices. “So now is the time,” said Chogyal Rinpoche, “for the Shambhala warriors to go into training.” “How do they train?” I asked. “They train in the use of two implements or tools.” “What are they?” I asked, and he held up his hands the way the lamas hold the ritual objects, the dorje and bell, in the great monastic dances of his people. “One,” he said, “is compassion. The other is insight into the radical interdependence of all phenomena. You need both,” he said. “You need compassion because it provides the fuel to move you out where you need to be in order to do what you need to do. It means not being afraid of the suffering of your world. That tool is very hot. By itself it is so hot it can burn you out. So you need the other tool, the insight that reveals the interbeing of all that is. When that dawns in you then you know that this is not a battle between good people and bad people but that the line between good and evil runs through the landscape of every human heart. And you know that we are so interwoven that even our smallest acts have repercussions that ripple through the web of life, beyond our capacity to discern. But that knowing is kind of cool. It can seem at times a bit abstract. That's why you need the heat of real passion.” From One Earth Sangha Photo by Daniele Levis Pelusi on Unsplash --- Join Us Live in 2026 Foundations of Coaching, Feb 9-10 2026, Online Our two day introduction to the deep and wonderful way of working with people that we call 'Integral Development Coaching'. www.wearethirdspace.org/foundations-of-coaching Turning Towards Life Live Season 2, from March 2026 Our Turning Towards Life live programme of community, learning and reflection runs in six month seasons, in person on Zoom once a month.

Zen and mindfulness teacher Henry Shukman guides us in a meditation that invites us to listen deeply and find clarity in quiet.How To Do This Practice: Find Stillness: Sit comfortably in a quiet space. Close your eyes if you'd like, and allow your body to settle. Bring Your Attention to the Present: Take a few deep breaths. Let go of to-do lists or distractions, gently arriving in this moment. Tune In to the Sounds Around You: Begin to notice the soundscape of your environment. Near or far, loud or soft. Don't judge or label the sounds, just hear them. Notice Background Silence: Beyond individual sounds, sense the quiet in which all sounds arise. This isn't just an absence of noise, it's a felt sense of stillness. Soak in the Quiet: Rest your awareness in this space of quiet. Let it wash over you, soften you, and bring you back to yourself. Gently Return: When you're ready, bring small movements back to your body. Wiggle your fingers or stretch. Open your eyes and carry this quiet awareness into the rest of your day.

What if telepathy isn't fantasy, but an undiscovered frontier of biophysics? In this conversation, Helené Wahbeh of the Institute of Noetic Sciences joins us to explore how mind-to-mind communication could be studied through neuroscience, quantum theory, and consciousness research.

Would you like to know more about the ways we are all interconnected? How can we remain connected to our loved ones on the Other Side? Lisa continues the conversation today with renowned spiritual teacher, medium, and best-selling author Suzanne Giesemann. A former U.S. Navy Commander and aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, today she shares “21st Century Spirituality®”, merging the latest scientific understanding about Consciousness with ancient spiritual wisdom. Suzanne discusses her latest book, “Making the Afterlife Connection: The Journey from Doubt to Knowing that Death is Not the End.” Suzanne talks about various practices to greater connect including “SIP with the Divine.” This is just a 3-minute practice where you sit in silence and see if an insight happens. Any answer you seek is accessible. It's called “SIP” as it stands for “Sit In Peace.” You are training yourself to notice your thoughts and feelings. This becomes a habit to really be present. In this way, you are also creating more space, which allows for better connection to your Higher Self, loved ones, and the Divine. When we are in a state of meditation and quietness, we can also ask our loved ones for a sign or for a message. This requires a level of discernment, but it's possible for them to share. You can ask for advice, a healing, or an answer. Suzanne explains how there's a reason that certain things may be veiled to us. She also talks about using your body to help you make decisions. Any tension in your heart or your gut means it may not be the best direction. The knowing is already in you. The answers are within us. Your soul already has a plan. Suzanne has written 15 books including “The Awakened Way - Making the Shift to a Divinely Guided Life.” Her latest documentary is “Wolf's Message,” based on the true story of a man named Wolf who was also struck and killed by lightening. He contacted Suzanne through the spirit world. This is Part 2 of the interview.  Info: SuzanneGiesemann.com and TheAwakenedWay.org.

In this episode we sit down with Jaymie Thurler of Rutabaga Ranch, whose colorful “punk rock” style meets old-school farming roots and new motherhood. Jaymie shares her journey of taking over a “left for dead” property and turning it into a beautiful thriving market garden, right in the community where she and her husband grew up. She details how her farm's success is tied to key initiatives, including a self-serve farm stand that is open seven days a week and a woodchip boiler system that heats their greenhouses for early tomato production. Jaymie reflects on raising a baby on the farm, both the joys and challenges, and how it has reshaped both her life and her leadership. Throughout, themes of community, culture, heritage, and family are highlighted in this wide-ranging and delightful conversation.Timestamps[4:11] “New rurals” vs “old school” conventional farmers[10:04] Story of Rutabaga Ranch and acquiring the farmhouse[12:12] Interconnectedness of rural life and relying on neighbors[17:25] Farm overview[20:10] The joy of working with family and building a lasting legacy[24:25] Unexpected community support for the farm stand [28:51] Self-serve farm stand breakdown [33:41] Innovative waste-wood heating system[55:08] Using “waste material” and the ecological benefits of wood chips[1:04:31] The importance of showing that farming can be fun and not “miserable”[1:10:15] Balancing a profitable farm with motherhood and quality of life[1:22:35] Profitability of early tomatoes and their role in the farm's income[1:32:57] Is participating in local agricultural fairs “punk rock”?[1:39:44] How Jaymie got into market gardening[1:53:58] Rapid-fire Q&A including book recommendations, advice, and failuresSponsorsTessier: Use promo code MGI10 for 10% off and free shipping on your first purchase for the Eastern North American regions https://info.serres-guytessier.com/en/tessier-mgi10?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Tessier+MGI+podcastLinks/ResourcesMarket Gardener Institute:  https://themarketgardener.com Masterclass:  https://themarketgardener.com/courses/the-market-gardener-masterclass Newsletter:  https://themarketgardener.com/newsletterBlog:  https://themarketgardener.com/blog Books: https://themarketgardener.com/booksGrowers & Co: https://growers.coHeirloom: https://heirloom.ag/The Old Mill: https://www.espaceoldmill.com/en/Follow UsWebsite: http://themarketgardener.com Facebook: http://facebook.com/marketgardenerinstitute Instagram: http://instagram.com/themarketgardeners Guest Social Media LinksJaymie Thurler: Website: https://rutabaga-ranch.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rutabagaranch/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rutabagaranch JM:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeanmartinfortierFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeanmartinfortier 

You have probably heard that “We are all one” or that “We are all connected.” Would you like to know more about what this interconnectedness means? Would you like to learn more about Mediumship and how we remain connected to loved ones on the Other Side? Our guest today is renowned spiritual teacher, medium, and best-selling author Suzanne Giesemann. A former U.S. Navy Commander and aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, today she shares “21st Century Spirituality®”, merging the latest scientific understanding about Consciousness with ancient spiritual wisdom. Suzanne discusses her latest book, “Making the Afterlife Connection: The Journey from Doubt to Knowing that Death is Not the End.” Lisa talks about her groundbreaking Near Death Experience which occurred after a traumatic brain injury due to a severe bike accident. She experienced the feeling of Oneness and asked Suzanne if we must always have a traumatic situation to access these realms. Suzanne describes this as a wake-up call. She further discusses her work as a Medium and provides stunning evidence of our essential interconnectedness. She teaches proven methods that anyone can use to connect with the many levels of our multidimensional reality. She didn't access these gifts until after the unexpected death of her daughter from a lightening strike. As a result of Suzanne trying to find her in the spirit world, she has since touched millions of people globally with what she learned and with her message of Oneness. Her abilities have opened up so much more. She realized that death is not the end. We continue on as souls. The end of each chapter of her book teaches ways and practices to make the connection with the afterlife. She specifically sat and got quiet. She wanted to connect with Susan, her daughter. It took her three years to “find her” in the spirit world. During this time, she learned automatic writing and met her spirit guides. Anyone, no matter your path, can connect with guides and Source. There are systems to learn this, and we all can, if we come from the heart, with the right intentions. We all have these gifts. Suzanne has written 15 books including “The Awakened Way - Making the Shift to a Divinely Guided Life.” Her latest documentary is “Wolf's Message,” based on the true story of a man named Wolf who was also struck and killed by lightening. He contacted Suzanne through the spirit world. This is Part 1 of the interview.  Info: SuzanneGiesemann.com and TheAwakenedWay.org.

We are much more powerful than we often imagine, and in surprising ways. For most of us, our power is not in being remembered long beyond our lifetimes, or in being able to change the world that is far from us. It is rather in that we are each made by one another, and we make one another, by how we live, what we say, how we listen, and how we act. When we start to see that we are literally making a world for others to live in right here and now, in our every way of conducting ourselves it can open great possibilities both for gratitude and wonder, and great responsibilities for us as parents, friends, colleagues and neighbours in our everyday lives. In this conversation we remember Joanna Macy, whose writing we have featured a number of times, who died on July 19. And we talk together about what it is to be ‘good soil' for one another, so that we get to make a world together that we want to live in.This week's conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace. Episode Overview 00:00 Introduction and Context Setting 02:59 Nature as a Narrative for Human Life 05:59 Reflections on Mortality and Legacy 08:50 The Interconnectedness of Human Experience 11:54 Being Soil for One Another 14:49 Relationships and Community 18:07 Parenting and World Making 21:06 Cultural Narratives that Limit and Bring to Life 23:49 Conclusion Here's our source for this week: In Honor of Joanna Macy, 1929-2025 I write while staying in one of the great forests of British Columbia, a forest in which the inextricability of life from death is gorgeously evident… Magnificent fallen trees turn back into soil as younger trees reach downward to twine around their ancestors' trunks and upward toward the sky. The roots growing around and gripping these decaying logs look like veins and tentacles and fingers clutching and reaching toward an anchor in the soil. Some of the mature cedars and conifers stand on mounds that must be fully decayed trees or rather once were trees and are further along in the process of becoming soil. Often a great tree that's fallen over still has at its base a tall shield that is its roots still clinging to rounded stones and soil, and from this the trunk stretches across the earth. These trees from which trees grow are known as nurse logs… When I was younger, I was taught what an artist or writer was supposed to aspire to was immortality, the kind that Dante and Li Po and Shakespeare have, so that in centuries to come memory of your name and attention to your creations continue. Later in life, I realized that there was an entirely different thing to aspire to, an entirely different kind of creative success: to be so much part of your own time, of the present that is making the future, that rather than remaining what people think about, you become in some way how people think, how they value, what they prioritize. You stop being what's in front of their eyes and become part of what is behind their eyes, how they see the world, how they live, act, what they aspire to, what they hold close, what they resist. You become a nurse log on which new life can grow as you compost into the soil we call culture. And maybe this is the mindset of moist places, of an ecology of vivid decay and regeneration rather than of the arid places, where death dessicates and the mummies, skeletons, ruins, Dead Sea Scrolls, last for centuries or millennia.

In “CHAINge, AI, and the Future of Freight”, Joe Lynch and Bart De Muynck, an industry expert and thought leader with over 30 years of supply chain and logistics experience across the globe, discuss how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are reshaping the logistics landscape and what the future holds for global freight. About Bart A. De Muynck Bart De Muynck stands as an accomplished industry expert and thought leader, boasting over three decades of global supply chain and logistics experience. His distinguished career includes significant roles at major international companies such as EY, GE Capital, Penske Logistics, PepsiCo, and various tech firms. Notably, he spent eight years as a VP of Research at Gartner and recently served as Chief Industry Officer at project44. A highly sought-after speaker, Bart currently advises multiple companies and industry organizations in logistics. He chairs ASCM's CHAINge conference in Europe and North America, is the Vice Chair for Transformfest 2025, and is a member of the Forbes Technology Council, SCLA, WEF, and CSCMP's Executive Inner Circle. Born in Belgium, he now resides with his family in Texas, USA. Through Bart De Muynck LLC, he helps organizations navigate the complex technological landscape, tailoring solutions and mitigating challenges to drive operational efficiency and manage risk. His new thought leadership website, Better Supply Chains, curates high-quality content focused on leveraging technology to create more efficient, inclusive, and equitable supply chains, ultimately aiming for both better supply chains and improved individual lives. About Better Supply Chains Better Supply Chains is a new thought leadership website curated by former Gartner analyst and Industry Expert Bart De Muynck, with the primary goal of centralizing high-quality content designed to help companies significantly improve their supply chain operations. The platform is dedicated to enhancing connections by fostering networks that unite shippers, logistics service providers (LSPs), technology providers, and investors. Furthermore, it aims to empower commerce by delivering insightful information that enables businesses to refine and automate their trade processes. Crucially, Better Supply Chains also seeks to improve lives by examining the positive impacts of logistics technology (LogTech) on labor, talent development, and sustainability efforts within the industry. By actively highlighting how emerging technologies can be seamlessly integrated into supply chain organizations, processes, and people, the website strives to make supply chains more efficient, inclusive, and equitable, ultimately contributing to better operational outcomes and improved individual well-being. Key Takeaways: CHAINge, AI, and the Future of Freight In “CHAINge, AI, and the Future of Freight”, Joe Lynch and Bart De Muynck, an industry expert and thought leader with over 30 years of supply chain and logistics experience across the globe, discuss how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are reshaping the logistics landscape and what the future holds for global freight. AI as an Enabler, Not a Replacer: A central theme is that AI's true power in supply chains lies in augmenting human intelligence rather than replacing it. Bart emphasizes that AI can automate mundane tasks, freeing up human workers for higher-value activities requiring critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity, leading to increased productivity and improved decision-making. Focus on Practical AI Applications: The podcast will likely highlight that the effective implementation and absorption of existing technologies, particularly AI and advanced analytics, are the next big transformation in logistics. Bart's focus through "Better Supply Chains" is on practical, high-quality content that helps companies refine and automate their trade processes using proven technological solutions, not just speculative future tech. The Interconnectedness of Supply Chain Elements: Bart's extensive background and the mission of "Better Supply Chains" underscore the importance of fostering networks that unite shippers, logistics service providers (LSPs), technology providers, and investors. The "CHAINge" conference he chairs also emphasizes collaboration and interconnectivity to build more efficient and sustainable supply chains. Addressing Key Industry Challenges through Technology: The episode will touch upon how logistics technology (LogTech) can positively impact labor, talent development, and sustainability. Bart's work aims to integrate emerging technologies into supply chain organizations, processes, and people to create more efficient, inclusive, and equitable supply chains. Data Quality is Paramount for AI Success: Bart stresses that while data is the "unsung hero" in supply chain resilience and decision-making, the quality of that data is crucial. Bad or irrelevant data can be a "bad actor," highlighting the need for high-quality, real-time, and predictive insights to get ahead of disruptions. Building Resilient and Agile Supply Chains: Given Bart's expertise and the current landscape, the discussion will likely emphasize the need for supply chains to be agile and resilient in the face of geopolitical factors, trade disputes, and market uncertainties. Technology, including AI, plays a vital role in enhancing visibility, optimizing logistics, and improving decision-making in turbulent times. Investing in Talent Development alongside Technology: Bart believes that talent is a significant constraint in supply chains. The podcast will likely highlight the importance of not only embracing technology but also investing in talent development and fostering a culture of collaboration to fully leverage the transformative potential of AI and other innovations.
