In this classic episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and Tevon Taylor welcome Gaurav Malhotra, Partner and Supply Chain Technology Leader at EY, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming supply chains today and where it's headed over the next five years.

What if the biggest mistakes I made in Hawaii weren't about what I did, but how I showed up?After 200 episodes and 30 trips, I'm sharing seven hard-won lessons that changed how I experience Hawaii and travel everywhere else.You'll walk away with a clearer sense of what respect really means, why slowing down creates better memories, and how to see Hawaii as more than just a backdrop.

That feeling when something small seems like no big deal? Like skipping your quiet time just this once, or that harmless compromise you keep making?In this episode, I'm preaching through Matthew 27:1-10, examining how Judas's betrayal of Jesus didn't start with thirty pieces of silver—it started way smaller than that. Just like American Airlines Flight 191 didn't crash because of one catastrophic failure, but because of one tiny bolt that nobody checked.Here's the beautiful truth: if small compromises lead to big consequences, then small acts of faithfulness lead to big kingdom impact. Jesus himself only ministered for three years within a thirty mile radius of his hometown, yet his obedience brought salvation to the world.What you'll learn:* The difference between remorse and repentance (and why it matters)* How the Sanhedrin's “small” unfaithfulness led to catastrophic consequences* Why the ordinary, mundane things in your life matter more than you think* Practical steps to check the “bolts” in your life before they lead to disasterKey Question: What is the bolt you need to check today?
