It takes grit for a history major to walk into a job fair for business students and convince the rep from Kraft Foods that she's the right person for the position. But that's exactly what our guest, Mindy Smith '13 did.Landing that job with Kraft spring-boarded Mindy into a marketing and sales career where she held positions with companies like Coke and now Shell. Currently, Mindy is a global strategy leader for Shell's Mobility business, and is responsible for brand standards at more than 47,000 retail sites worldwide.Mindy joins host Maya Pomroy '22 to chat about her career-defining pivots, the importance of being bold, critical insights she's learned at Shell and why she decided to get her MBA after an already successful career journey.Episode Guide:02:00 Career Beginnings and Early Jobs03:22 Landing a Job at Kraft Foods06:19 Insights from Working at Kraft15:11 Transition to Coke19:33 Joining Shell and Pursuing an MBA23:57 The Steamroller Persona24:54 Navigating Organizational Changes27:58 New Role at Shell29:00 Managing Global Insights31:09 Customer Experience and Competition35:45 Rice University's Lasting Impact41:58 Final Thoughts and LessonsOwl Have You Know is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Networking is about learning, not just opportunities35:31: Rice was such an important part of my life. And as I mentioned earlier, I still take a lot of the learnings and use them daily in my work. And one of the things that I really appreciated about Rice was going back to network, going back to hearing others' perspectives and how they handle things. And when I was there, I loved hearing from people who had already graduated…[38:07] One of the things I did throughout was connect with alumni whenever I had the opportunity at different events. And even now, I love to hear people's stories, and I like to hear what people do, and I like to hear, you know, quite honestly, they'll ask me questions sometimes that then get me thinking about things. And it's great to have that interaction. And, you know, people talk about network all the time in the sense of using your network if you're looking for a job or things like that. For me, it's really—it's the learning.Life isn't a straight line—embrace the curveballs41:44: Whether it's your life or your career, it's not a straight line, and you can't plan it out. I was just saying this to my sister-in-law: You can be the best planner. You can have every little detail planned out. Life is always going to throw you curveballs, and how you react to those curveballs—have the courage and overcome the fear—because some of those curveballs end up being amazing opportunities. Even though they might not have been in your original plans, that's definitely one. Number two would be to always be curious. One of the things that I think I have benefited from is that I'm not afraid to ask a lot of questions. Sometimes that can annoy people, or sometimes I do worry that if—especially if it's someone senior—they might see it as, you know, just, “Why is she asking so many questions?” But you know what? That's how you learn. Be curious, though, and learn new things.On the formula of success in a big company26:29: I've always had a formula. Even 20 years ago, when I had an actual office, I had on my board the formula for success in a big company: 60 percent your network, 20 percent actual work, and 20 percent perception. And I'll tell you, one of the things with what's been going on lately, I've been telling people I might change my formula to 50 percent network and 50 percent perception because, absolutely, in a time like this—where people who might not know you are making decisions about your future with the company—not only the network, but the perception, is big. So, more important than ever in times like this, it pays off.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profiles:Mindy Smith | Rice Business

About a year ago, Campbell Soup Company CEO Mark Clouse made that statement during a keynote presentation to student leaders saying, "I like to seek out experiences that challenge me. I like to do things that make me a little uncomfortable and that put me in positions where I was learning…where I was trying something that I might not have been great at.” And he's right…as putting yourself in positions where you're a little uncomfortable (but where you can learn and develop as you move forward) is an essential part of what sets leaders apart. No matter what stage of your career, you must have that thirst to keep learning…looking for more inspiration, more knowledge, more mastery. And while some enhance their knowledge and skills through reading, listening to podcasts, or learning from mentors…Mark Clouse prefers a different more challenging method. Last week, Mark Clouse decided to leave The Campbell's Company (where he served as President and CEO since 2019) to become team President of the Washington Commanders. So, in essence…one day Mark Clouse is overseeing a $13 billion CPG brand portfolio, and the next he will be leading all facets of my lifelong favorite NFL team's business operations. Because even if Mark Clouse had an extremely impressive almost three-decade journey climbing the ranks of a highly competitive multitrillion-dollar industry…major U.S. pro sports organizations hiring a team president from the corporate world in general is a very rare occurrence. How does this even happen, right? It doesn't matter that Mark Clouse has no experience in professional sports…the team owner Josh Harris believes that being an accomplished business builder with a proven track record to strengthen both the organizations he leads and the communities he serves will translate successfully. But there is something that I believe is worth mentioning here…because while admiring (respecting) professional accomplishments (or personality traits) can happen from a distance in today's connected world, it's even more noticeable up close and personal. In that same keynote, Mark Clouse shared a story from early in his CPG career at Kraft Foods where he made a commitment to his future self…stating that he would be all in (showing up ready to play) regardless of what he was doing in life. And my assumption is that the leadership team at Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment saw Mark Clouse consistently show up in that “all-in” manner when they were negotiating a unique marketing partnership with The Campbell's Company that was announced about 1.5 months prior. This leadership pivot happened at the intersection of my passions for CPG and sports (aka the right place), but it also happened at maybe the right time. I wholeheartedly believe that the more you learn, the more you realize that there's still so much more to learn. And while I've continued to be passionately curious everyday…I've unintentionally put limitations to my learning. With the world changing rapidly today…I believe your ability to learn new things and adapt to new circumstances is more important than ever. So, while I'm not saying that I'll be professionally pivoting to such a degree like Mark Clouse (that is unless he needs a right-hand man) haha…his decision did inspire (and challenge) me to rediscover aspects of my lifelong learning quest that I know will provide me with an even greater fulfillment.

Barbara shares her incredible journey as a young German-speaking refugee fleeing Nazi Germany in 1940, growing up in Chehalis, Washington, and her relentless pursuit of the American dream. Barbara's parents instilled in her the belief that education was the key to unlocking opportunities.

The Power of Instinct: The New Rules of Persuasion in Business and Life by Leslie Zane ABOUT THE BOOK: Award-winning Fortune 500 brand consultant and behavioral expert Leslie Zane shatters conventional marketing wisdom, showing readers how to tap into the hidden brain where instinct prevails, creating a powerful network of connections that drive people to buy your product, company, or vision.   People don't make decisions with their conscious mind, but on instinct.  In The Power of Instinct, marketing consultant and behavioral science expert Leslie Zane shows that to grow a brand, business, or even a social movement, traditional persuasion tactics fall short.  Instead, you must connect to the instinctive mind. And to do this, you need to understand the science of consumer choice and employ techniques that work with a person's brain, not against it.   Zane uncovers the hidden network of connections that dictates the snap decisions we make and cracks the code on how to influence it.  With a revolutionary set of rules for expanding the network, Zane shows us how to make any brand, business, political candidate, or idea the dominant instinctive choice.  With science as your guide, as well as stories from the world's most successful brands from McDonald's and Lululemon to the Yankees and Taylor Swift, you'll learn: What kind of messages create the greatest amount of positive associations; Why finding new customers accelerates growth and relying on existing ones is a trap; Why emotional stories are not enough to drive trial and long-term brand loyalty. Whether you're an entrepreneur, Fortune 500 executive, marketing professional, or job seeker, mastering the power of instinct will help supercharge your growth and make whatever you're selling the first choice for any audience. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Leslie Zane has been turning the marketing industry on its head for the past 30 years.   As the founder of Triggers, a brand consultancy firm built on the premise that instinct, rather than conscious thought guides brand decisions, Leslie has accelerated growth for Fortune 100 companies like Pepsico, Mars, Aetna, Kraft Foods, and McDonald's.  Her work has been featured in Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Review, Forbes, Barrons, TEDx, Scientific American, and more. Leslie is a graduate of Yale University (home of the fighting Bulldogs) and later earned an MBA from Harvard Business School. And, interesting fact – at Yale, Leslie was a member of the Proof of the Pudding a capella singing group!

For most Americans, the Kraft and Heinz brands have been ever-present in our cupboards and fridges for our entire lives. Products like Oscar Meyer hot dogs, Kraft cheese, Velveeta, and Jello.

From owning acclaimed eateries to forging unexpected alliances in a federal detention center, Frankie “Spice” Morelli has made his mark as a culinary maestro who respects the power of authentic Italian food. Now, in his publishing debut, Morelli creates and compiles delicious recipes, healthful nutrition and decades of experience into MOBB Cookbook & Diet: Savor and Slim the Italian Way (MOBB Publishing; ISBN: 9798989079612; Hardcover). It's a pizza box-sized, full-color coffee table cookbook blending 70-plus recipes, along with nearly 200 original full-color photos and tantalizing mob lore with a vital ingredient: a priority on health. Teaming up with Dr. Sandra “Diet Duchess” Frank, Ed.D., RDN, FAND, who nutritionally vetted the recipes in the book, Morelli guarantees that every dish in this book can be enjoyed as part of a well-balanced, nourishing diet. Whether cooking on-camera, providing b-roll footage for the perfect virtual demo, or just chatting with the host, producer or editor, Frankie can share his five secrets for making the BEST spaghetti and meatballs … this side of The Clink: Undercook your pasta because even when you take it out of boiling water it is still cooking! To prepare the sauce, sauté fresh garlic in oil, deglaze with white wine … and mix in salt and black pepper. To make the sauce, use only San Marzano tomatoes—they are imported from Italy and are naturally sweet without an acidic taste. With a stick or a home blender, puree the tomatoes and combine with the sautéed garlic mixture. Do not add sugar! Simmer it all on “low” for 4 hours. Make the meatballs as big as a softball … the smaller you make the balls, the harder they become when you cook ‘em. Use 80/20 ground beef/ground pork, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, eggs, cream, salt and pepper, and olive oil. Says Frankie, “The better the meatball, the more protection I had in The Joint!” Put the balls into the oven for 30 minutes at 325 degrees … take ‘em out, flip them and cook for the same amount of time … and that's it. Simplicity is the essence of Italian cooking! MOBB Cookbook & Diet includes an array of recipes, like Don Pasquale's Shrimp Scampi, Lucky Luciano's Luscious Lady Fingers and even Lou “The Hebrew Hammer's” favorite Matzo Ball Soup. It's filled with “fun” facts about notorious and alleged mobsters, including “Tommy Guns,” Jimmy “The Beast,” Jeremy “The Jett” and other members of the author's diverse circle of acquaintances from the Sicilian mob, Italian Cosa Nostra and the wide multicultural world of gangsters. Web: www.ourmobb.com About the Author Frankie "Spice" Morelli is a resilient culinary maestro and entrepreneur with an innate understanding of delicious and nourishing, authentic yet innovative Italian food. He owned and operated the award-winning Morelli's Ristorante Italiano in Florence, Colorado, and founded Nona Morelli Pasta, an international pasta and sauce company that supplied prominent retail chains, engaged in private-label partnerships with respected brands like Kraft Foods' Budget Gourmet, and pioneered the introduction of microwave pasta.

Every product, from their sheets to their down pillows, is made sustainably, with a transparent supply chain, and today Boll & Branch is one of the largest e-commerce-first luxury home brands, loved by millions of Americans, including every living US president, and countless celebrities. Scott started his career at Nabisco / Kraft Foods, and was pivotal in the strategic development and modernization of communication efforts for brands including Altoids, Oreo, Planters, Milk-Bone, Life Savers and dozens of others. During his time with the conglomerate, he also oversaw Digital communications and marketing for Kraft Foods entire portfolio of Nabisco Cookies & Crackers, Confections and Snacks brands. He later went on to join Wrigley, establishing the digital division for their global portfolio of brands, including Orbit, 5 Gum, Juicy Fruit, Life Savers, and others.

He sits on the advisory boards of several technology and consumer goods companies, and is a Vanderbilt University alum. Scott resides in New Jersey with his wife Missy, their three children, and two dogs.SummaryBoll & Branch is a leading luxury linens and bedding company that focuses on transparency, traceability, and sustainability in its supply chain. The founders, Scott and Missy Tannen, started the company 10 years ago with no background in textiles, which gave them a unique advantage in reimagining how the industry operates. They have built a strong brand that values quality, authenticity, and customer trust. Boll & Branch started with a focus on sheets and bedding but has expanded into other categories like pillows and bath products. They aim to create a complete solution for the bedroom and bathroom. The company has been self-funded and profitable since its early years, allowing them to maintain control and focus on long-term sustainability. They recently raised capital to clean up their cap table and have a strong partnership with Elk Hatton, who invested $100 million in 2019. Boll & Branch has achieved a net revenue of around $200 million and continues to grow. They prioritize customer retention and emotional connection by providing traceability and transparency through their OriginTrack feature. The company is primarily direct-to-consumer but also has retail stores and partnerships with retailers like Nordstrom. Bowen Branch has dedicated spaces in Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's, with specific merchandising and fixturing. Wholesale is a small part of the business, with the majority of sales coming from direct-to-consumer channels.

Welcome to an interview with the authors of Career Forward: Strategies from Women Who've Made It, Christiana Smith Shi and Grace Puma. In this book, the authors challenge negative stereotypes about female ambition, and urge women to be bold, follow their dreams, and seize the chance to lead “big” lives. The secret is to focus on career first, job second. Instead of chasing a better job title or a salary bump, the goal should be a long-range career path that leads to success. “Career forward” means keeping a focus on the future and recognizing that being good at your job is often not enough—that you should take every opportunity to boost your connections, take on “difficult” assignments, and work actively to broaden your skills. Christiana Smith Shi is the former president of Nike's consumer-direct division where she led the company's global retail and ecommerce business. Before that she was a senior partner at McKinsey & Co. Christiana has been named one of the Most Influential Corporate Directors by Women, Inc. She currently leads Lovejoy Advisors, which is focused on digitally transforming consumer and retail businesses. Shi is a graduate of Stanford University and has an MBA from Harvard Business School, where she graduated as a Baker Scholar. She lives in Portland, Oregon.  Grace Puma is the former executive vice president and COO of PepsiCo, and before that held senior positions with United Airlines, Kraft Foods, Motorola, and Gillette.
