If innovating was easy, we would all be Steve Jobs. But it's not. It disrupts lives, it forces us out of comfort zones, and it requires both inspired vision and a lot of work. No wonder we prize the innovators amongst us. In this episode, we talk with two plan sponsors who embraced innovation in the defined contribution space, Stuart Odell, formerly of Intel, and Bob Hunkeler from International Paper Company. We discuss their work, the challenges they faced, and how they view the future of retirement.   Key Takeaways: [:34] Josh opens up today's episode with a quick recap of episode three which graded the system and found the innovation lacking. In order to find a way forward, he welcomes 2 plan sponsors who have found bold new solutions to obstacles.   [3:39] Stuart Odell shares a bit about his journey from engineering to getting invested as a Plan Sponsor manager — and talks about the precarious state of the retirement plan as he started looking into it at Intel.   [8:00] Having no preconceived notions about the defined contribution space may have helped Stuart think outside the box. He explains some of the changes he made to the existing structure to align it with the goals and values of the company as a way to gain more flexibility for innovation.   [11:00] Stuart shares his take on why innovation is critical in the retirement space, despite litigation being a huge deterrent. He opens up about the class action lawsuit Intel was served following his changes.   [14:45] Bob Hunkeler has a background in science and had never planned on managing corporate retirement plans. He shares the journey that took him to Switzerland and back to the States with an opening in the pensions department.   [17:40] Bob touches on how the company philosophy has affected the roughly 18 billion dollars in retirement assets he manages. International Paper has both an IP savings plan and a 401k. Bob explains how they construct their portfolios as well as his take on decumulation.   [21:35] Because there was a kind of vacuum in the retirement planning space and as such, Bob's ideas and innovations were an encouraging way of filling this space. He speaks to his motivation for making headway in this space.   [23:55] Putting their money where their mouth is, International paper provides a complete suite of retirement planning services to its employees. Bob speaks to the continued innovation he tries to drive in the company by building bridges.   [25:44] Bob and Stuart share their takes on the title of the podcast!   [28:46] Josh thanks his guests for sharing their stories and opens up the discussion for further innovation on the corporate side of the retirement planning space.   The Accidental Plan Sponsor will be back this summer!

When Claude E. Ramsay sat down with us in April of 1981 to discuss his career and tenure as President of the Mississippi AFL – CIO, the three main topics of that series of interviews were: worker’s rights, voting rights, and civil rights. Forty years later, those same three issues are still grabbing headlines across the nation. Whether it is Amazon employees in Alabama trying to unionize, GOP efforts to restrict voting after the 2020 election, the Black Lives Matter movement, or the uptick in violence against Asian, Hispanic, and Jewish communities, the struggle for better working conditions, access to the ballot and freedom from discrimination continues against the same forces using the same tactics and reasoning. 1981 - In 1939, Claude Ramsay went to work for the International Paper Company in Pascagoula. In this episode, he recalls joining the paper-workers union and rising through the ranks to become president. Ramsay was elected President of the Mississippi AFL – CIO in 1959. He discusses working with Medgar Evers to secure voting rights and labor rights for all Mississippians. Ramsay also details his meeting with President Kennedy the day after Evers’s assignation. In 1964, after years of complaints about the anti-union, anti-civil rights biases of WLBT, the AFL – CIO joined the United Church of Christ in petitioning the FCC to revoke the Jackson television station’s license. Ramsay explains why they felt it was important to take a stand against “right wing propaganda.” The Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed employment discrimination based on gender and ethnicity. Ramsay discusses how the law also aided efforts to organize Mississippi’s workers.

WORDS FROM GOD: RISING OUT OF THE ASHES by LaJuana Craft Ryckeley This book is a compilation of my life arising from my deepest memories and heart-felt moments through the experiences I have lived. This book is in poetry—all my loves, struggles as a mother and wife, to just enjoying all the things that God has given me to see and feel. I have made lemonade with my life and I wanted to share with others all the ups and downs that have gone into making me what I have become today. I have grown very close to my Heavenly Father through each step. I hope it is an inspiration to all who read the words of my life. A small log house was my first home in Taylorsville, Mississippi. My parents were farmers, but when the crop failed, we moved to Mobile, Alabama, where my dad worked as a millwright with International Paper Company. I have been truly blessed in my life by a mother who spent hours reading and singing to me. She instilled the love of poetry into my soul. In addition to my love of poetry, I consider many of my poems to be God-given because He wakes me up in the middle of the night with poems and songs. My husband, Wiley, also encourages me to enter poems into contests. The poetry I have written has much variety and style. Many of the poems I write come from heartfelt memories and reflections of the best that came out of my life. https://www.writersrepublic.com/bookshop/words-god-rising-out-ashes http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/lacryckeley.mp3

Dr. Sheetal Pai-Wechsung works as a Principal Scientist in the Formulation and Process Development Department at Pfizer in Andover, MA.

This podcast is provided by Ben Glass and Steve Emmert www.BenGlassReferrals.com - www.Virginia-Appeals.com Granted Appeal Summary Case INTERNATIONAL PAPER COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION v. COUNTY OF ISLE OF WIGHT (Record Number 190542) From The Circuit Court of Isle of Wight County; C. Eason, Jr., Judge. Counsel Craig D. Bell, E. Duncan Getchell, Jr., Robert W. Loftin, and Michael H. Brady (McGuireWoods LLP) for appellant. Andrew R. McRoberts, Debra L. Mallory, David C. Tait, and Sean M. Hutson (Sands Anderson, PC) for appellee. Assignments of Error 1. The trial court erred in holding that IP had not made a prima facie case on Counts I, II, or III, in striking and dismissing those Counts, and in relying upon the conclusion that “new taxes are required to be paid to governmental bodies,” and are generally “political decisions.” Isle of Wight’s imposition of a tax increase upon IP’s M&T, which was the subject of court-ordered and legally mandated refunds and was imposed after IP’s special damages had vested, with the purpose and effect of exacting precisely the refund amount in additional taxes, presented a prima facie case on each of these counts. 2. The trial court erred in holding that IP had not made a prima facie case on Counts IV or V, in striking and dismissing them, and in concluding that “there can [legally] be an ‘effective tax rate’ that is different than the imposed or statutorily established tax rate” for M&T. Isle of Wight’s adoption and application, without statutory authority, of a “credit” against direct tax liability, resulting in disparate direct tax burdens upon one class, including upon IP’s M&T, presented a prima facie case on both of these counts. 3. The trial court erred as a matter of law in determining the purposes of the Clawback Ordinance and Clawback Credit without regard to their effects on taxpayers, and in finding a shortfall in the general fund. On a motion to strike, the trial court must evaluate legislative purpose by its natural effect, decide no disputes of material fact, view the evidence, with all reasonable inferences drawn, in IP’s favor, to determine only whether a prima facie case exists. 4. The trial court erred as a matter of law in relying upon its findings of Isle of Wight’s purposes for the Clawback Ordinance and Clawback Credit to grant the motion to strike IP’s case-in-chief. Legitimate governmental purposes will not immunize legislative, administrative or executive acts from violating the Virginia Constitution or exceeding statutory power, as applied. http://www.courts.state.va.us/courts/scv/appeals/190542.pdf

The American economy crosses borders, oceans, time zones, cultures, languages and great walls. And therefore, compensation and benefits has gone global, too. For many multinational companies, figuring out how to scale employee benefits for a global population is a critical element of their economic competitiveness. Here at the Council, we’re engaged on global benefits in numerous ways, from functioning as the U.S. chapter of the International Employee Benefit Association (or “IEBA”) to serving as a private-sector advisor to the U.S. delegation to the Organizational for Economic Cooperation and Development. We’re also focused on practical matters for global employee benefit plan sponsors like governance, controlling costs, health plan offerings, employee mobility, mergers and acquisitions and much, much more. In this episode, host Jason Hammersla talks to Mark Azzarello, vice president, global compensation & benefits, for the International Paper Company. Azzarello is a member of the American Benefits Council’s board of directors and chair of the Council’s Global Benefits Committee. In this wide-ranging conversation, Azzarello describes the objectives of the Global Benefits Committee and the upshot of the group’s October 2019 meeting. He also describes International Paper’s distinctive approach to employee benefits policy including global governance, employee financial wellness and electronic disclosure.

Today, we are joined by Carrington Smith, the acclaimed author of “Blooming: Finding Gifts in the Shit of Life.” Carrington's journey, celebrated in platforms like Forbes and Fast Company, is a testimony to the indomitable spirit of human resilience. Born into the illustrious legacy of the founders of the International Paper Company, one might assume a life of privilege and ease awaited her. Yet, as family fortunes dwindled over generations, so did familial unity, leaving in its wake an undercurrent of resentment and an overbearing pressure to uphold revered family standards.While her family's history boasts of prestigious alma maters like Miss Porter School in Farmington for her grandmother, mother, and sister, Carrington's own educational journey was markedly different. She attended public schools and pursued higher studies at Washington State University. It was here that she faced one of the darkest episodes of her life, a harrowing sexual assault. This traumatic experience remained a silent burden for six years, until the corridors of law school gave her the sanctuary she needed to find her voice.Carrington's path to healing began when she broke her silence. She found a beacon of hope in “The Gift of Fear” by Gavin de Becker, realizing that trauma could be worn not as a chain, but as a medal of courage. This wasn't a tale of mere survival but of turning pain into power. Carrington's life philosophy, poignantly reflected in her book title, encourages embracing challenges as opportunities for growth. Her candid message emphasizes the importance of owning one's story, processing every emotion - from anger and grief to euphoria, and especially amplifying the voices of women, who often navigate a world trying to mute them. For Carrington, life's adversities are not about recounting losses but about recognizing the gains that come with them—like the allure of starting afresh and the freedom to carve out a new narrative.The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway“With adversity comes opportunity. That little piece of sage advice has been such an important piece of wisdom that absolutely has transformed my life. I people can just walk away with that and know that how they view an event is going to determine the outcome, and if they can always be on the lookout for growth and opportunity, they're gonna live a much happier life.”--Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.
