These are challenging times for roasters. With the topics of green prices and tariffs dominating the airwaves and minds of owners, everyone is looking for the best way to respond to what seems like an existential threat to their business if left unaddressed. The truth is that the businesses that do the best in these times not only respond well in the moment, but can respond well because they have prepared well before hand by investing in building a business around integrity, depth of relationships, and cultivating resiliency through contingency planning and structures that uphold all people in their sphere. I am very happy for this months RoR to talk with someone whose trials and triumphs in life and business have led to being able to help so many others succeed through his very influential business.

His latest project, RoastPATH®, is a modern SAS platform that allows not only for day-to-day profile tracking but serves as a career-long work portfolio to extend the collective memory & experience of the roasting profession. In this conversation we discuss some very practical and also very deep aspects of mindsets, philosophy, meaning, and practical. business strategy and planning that together will allow you to better build a roastery that not only survives challenges, but thrives enough to provide stability for others as well.    Related episodes: SPECIAL!

In today's episode, I'm joined by Sage (Erik Larson), a logistics veteran with over 20 years in the industry, from owner-operator to SPI agent. He shares how the 2008 recession nearly took him out and how his decision to go all-in on freight brokerage reshaped everything.  We talk about the grind, working to master the over-dimensional niche, building custom trailers, and moving 70+ complex loads a year. Sage also breaks down how he built long-term carrier relationships without using load boards, his transition from independent brokerage to the SPI model, and why freight volume is tied to global trade shifts and oil prices.  If you're serious about operational excellence, niche specialization, and adapting your freight business, you'll want to hear this one!   Connect with Sage YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SageOutcastX  

Chain.io is a vertical integration platform deeply embedded in the shipping and logistics space, helping connect massive freight companies with retail brands through the millions of messages required to track shipments and navigate customs. With $18 million in funding, the company has positioned itself as critical infrastructure for an industry that became front-page news during COVID. In this episode, Brian Glick shares hard-won lessons about building in a legacy industry, the realities of enterprise sales cycles, and why he never took himself out of the sales process. Topics Discussed: Building vertical iPaaS for logistics before the category existed in supply chain How COVID accelerated understanding of data movement as a strategic problem The challenge of selling complex integration technology to legacy industries Transitioning from founder-led sales while maintaining founder involvement Using podcasting as relationship-building infrastructure for 10-year customer lifecycles Building authentic employee thought leadership without formal programs The impact of AI on traditional integration and data movement businesses GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Don't fully remove yourself from enterprise sales—strategically deploy your founder advantage: Brian learned that completely stepping back from sales was a mistake. Instead, he discovered the power of strategic founder involvement: "As a founder I am an incredible asset to my team, but that doesn't mean I have to be on every meeting." He now enters deals at the beginning to build relationships, trusts his sales team to advance opportunities, then returns at crucial moments to help close negotiations. This approach maximizes founder value while empowering the sales team. Timing pain points matters more than pain intensity: Chain.io experienced a counterintuitive sales pattern during COVID—initial uptick as customers felt pain, followed by a downturn when pain became overwhelming. Brian observed: "A little bit of pain is good for sales... when it gets too much pain, people freeze up." B2B founders should recognize that acute customer pain creates urgency, but excessive pain paralyzes decision-making. The sweet spot is when customers feel enough discomfort to act but retain capacity to evaluate new solutions. Legacy industries require relationship-based, not scale-based GTM motions: After trying to build a "standard SaaS BDR SDR style go-to-market machine," Brian realized it was wrong for both his market timing and industry culture. He pivoted back to relationship-driven sales focused on live events and consultative engagement. For enterprise logistics customers making decisions that affect 40 countries, "nothing is simple and no decision is made by one person who's going to click a buy now button." Founders in traditional industries should think more like SAP than HubSpot. Use podcasting as relationship infrastructure, not lead generation: Brian launched his podcast "almost day one" as free marketing, but discovered its real value in relationship building for long sales cycles. He doesn't track metrics or measure ROI traditionally, noting: "I know that I've gotten a CIO of a major freight company... [who] sent me a screenshot of my podcast... and I know how much that one customer pays me is more than I've ever invested in the podcast." For B2B founders with complex sales cycles, content should build relationships rather than optimize for attribution. Build category understanding through customer education, not just problem-solving: When Chain.io launched in 2017, "that category did not exist in supply chain." Brian spent years helping customers understand that data movement was a strategic, first-tier problem rather than something "you tack on the end of some other project." Category creation often requires patient market education—founders must be prepared to invest in customer understanding before expecting rapid adoption, especially in conservative industries.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Our guest on this week's episode is Manish Kapoor, founder and CEO of Growth Catalyst Group. Since we have passed the mid-summer mark of 2025, retailers are now focused on the next dates on the retail calendar – and that's back to school season. This is traditionally the second busiest season of the retail year. But like everything in supply chains in 2025, this year has not been normal. Our guest helps us find out how retail supply chains are coping and what we can expect over the coming weeks.A new industry-sponsored program is designed to inspire next generation of supply chain leaders. Girl Scouts of the USA and contract logistics provider DHL Supply Chain have launched the "Solutions Superstar" program to advance critical thinking and problem-solving skills for K-12 girls and to introduce them to supply chain careers. A modern distribution center or fulfillment center is often full of automation at many different levels. It might have robots like AMRs and AGVs, dense storage like an AS/RS, and software platforms like an ERP or WMS system. But often, each of those units operates by itself, or it takes orders from just one source, like the WMS software. And that can make it hard for them all to work together as a team.

Crypto as a Key Component: The speaker notes the potential for increased investment in cryptocurrencies, positioning it as an essential part of modern investment strategies.

Transcript: (Seth Bradley) the election is over and guess what you're still not wealthy and you're still not in Nazi Germany but Donald Trump is about to make a lot of people rich and I plan on being one of them if you're smart you will too whether you love him or you hate him there's one thing you can't deny when he's in office the economy moves money shifts New Opportunities open up and old ones disappear and if you know where to look you can set yourself up to win big in 25 so I'm going to break down exactly how I plan to capitalize on Trump's return   from real estate investing to Capital raising to attx strategies so you can get ahead of the game and build some serious wealth let's get into it all right let's start with the big picture if Trump is in office this is what you can expect deregulation and business growth Trump has always been Pro business pro- entrepreneur and anti-g a that means less government interference fewer roadblocks for businesses and a pro capitalist environment expect them to cut funding to agencies like the SEC the IRS and   other regulatory bodies that slow down investment and deal making so also expect more tax incentives for small businesses investors and real estate developers and of course tariffs right America First manufacturing Trump has made it very clear he's bringing Manufacturing back to the US expect tffs on China Mexico and other foreign producers forcing companies to reinvest in American infrastructure factories and real estate so what does that mean that means more demand for industrial real estate warehouses and Logistics hubs   right here in the US and guess who's already looking at those opportunities this guy next think about stock market volatility private Market opportunity things like that the stock market will always be a roller coaster investors will Panic foreign economies will overreact to tariffs and our economy will overreact to Mean Tweets but the real money it's going to be in the private markets real estate funds direct Investments small businesses smart investors will pull money out of the stock market and put it into hard assets   and that's where the real opportunity is let's talk specifics next now that we know what's coming let's talk about where the money is moving and how I'm going to capitalize number one of course real estate real estate is about to explode again Trump is a real estate guy he's going to bring back policies to favor investors I'm calling it now 100% bonus depreciation is coming back and it'll be retroactive that means massive tax writeoffs for Real Estate Investors making syndication funds and Commercial properties even   more attractive Trump will push for more opportunity zones making it easier to defer and reduce capital gains taxes by investing in you know it real estate and we're going to see lower regulation which means easier development faster approvals and more investor-friendly lending so what am I doing doubling down on multif family things like self storage and especially industrial real estate also raising Capital raising Capital aggressively to get in before the next wave of incentives positioning myself to capitalize on tax advantages   while everyone else plays catchup that's the key start thinking about your real estate play now number two raising Capital will be easier than ever under Trump trump will likely gut the sec's budget of course he's already doing it now which means less scrutiny on private Capital raising more capital is going to flow into the private Equity markets syndications and alternative assets fewer restrictions on fundraising advertising and deal structuring those sorts of things and institutional investors will reallocate big money to   private markets as the economy shifts so what am I doing specifically scaling up my Capital raising strategies for these syndications for funds for fun to funds using especially 506c offerings to publicly Market deals and attract accredited investors and positioning funds to take in institutional Capital that's going to be fleeing the stock market and that volatility and getting into the private markets and number three a lot of people hate him for this but it's true and it's going to happen happen the rich get richer so you better   play the game to win Trump won so expect major tax cuts for businesses and investors in a pro capitalism Market expect lower corporate tax rates more deductions for business owners and a friendlier tax code for those who actually know how to use it he'll defund the IRS and possibly eliminate it all together we'll see he's talked about the external Revenue Service replacing it we'll see but anyways less audits less enforce less aggressiveness from the IRS if it even exists anymore this will favor   business owners investors in high net worth individuals so what am I doing structuring my investments to take full advantage of bonus depreciation and tax loopholes using cost segregation studies to maximize tax deductions on real estate and remember it's highly likely predicting it now 100% bonus depreciation will be restored and on top of that be retroactive to the previous few years so I'll be advising High net worth investors on how to legally keep more of their money number four investing in   crypto and Bitcoin Trump is pro crypto and creating massive tax shelters and deregulating this will be the perfect storm for another crypto Bull Run so start setting some money aside for crypto it's got to be part of your portfolio get educated make sure you know what you're doing invest wisely and again make it a major part of your portfolio moving forward and if you're still playing by the old rules W2 income stock market Investments zero tax strategy you're going to get left behind that's all all right so here's what I'm   doing right now to prepare number one stacking up capital for real estate deals before these policies actually shift number two building a bigger investor Network because when the floodgates open it's going to be too late I've got to be ready I've got to build that Network number three structuring my business entities to take full advantage of tax benefits number four focusing on Industrial real estate and always multif family as well because if Trump brings back us manufacturing that's where the   Gold Rush will be number five using my legal and investment expertise to help investors navigate and win in this new economy huge help you guys out along the way number six investing in Bitcoin and crypto crypto As Trump is pro crypto and creating massive tax shelters deregulating is going to be huge look guys this is not about politics it's about understanding how money moves and positioning yourself now ahead of time to get ahead of the curve so here's the deal you can either sit back you can let   this opportunity pass you can let everybody catch up you can sit on the sidelines and let things happen let it pass you by or you can get in the game right now if you're serious about raising capital Capital investing in real estate and multiplying more of your money in 2025 let's talk drop a comment hit that subscribe button and follow along because I'm going to be breaking down exactly how to play this game in real time let's go get it   Links from the Show and Guest Info and Links:

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.

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.

In this episode of Discovering Grayslake, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Kori Pelikan, owner of Bubble Bash—a business that's redefining how we celebrate, connect, and create memories in Northeast Illinois and Southeast Wisconsin. Bubble Bash specializes in foam and bubble parties, bringing laughter and excitement to backyards, parks, and community events. Whether you're a parent planning a birthday, a community organizer, or a fellow entrepreneur, Kori's journey and insights offer a treasure trove of actionable advice and inspiration. Let's dive deep into the main themes and expert tips from our conversation, so you can bring a little more joy—and a lot more bubbles—into your own corner of the world. Table of Contents The Spark: Turning a Fun Idea into a Thriving Business What Makes Foam Parties So Popular? Behind the Scenes: How Bubble Bash Operates Safety First: Creating a Fun and Secure Environment Building Community: The Power of Local Networks Expanding the Fun: Beyond Kids' Parties Lessons in Entrepreneurship: Balancing Family, Passion, and Business Actionable Tips for Hosting a Memorable Foam or Bubble Party The Heart of Grayslake: Kindness, Connection, and Community How to Book Your Own Bubble Bash Experience 1. The Spark: Turning a Fun Idea into a Thriving Business Kori Pelikan's story is a classic example of how a simple, personal need can ignite a business idea. When planning her daughter's birthday, Kori wanted something unique. She discovered foam machines, bought one, and the party was such a hit that neighbors and friends immediately asked, “Can you do this for us?” Key Takeaways: Start with a personal need:** The best business ideas often come from solving your own problems. Test the waters:** Kori's first event was a low-risk trial that validated the concept. Listen to your audience:** Immediate positive feedback from guests signaled a real demand. Expert Advice:   If you're considering starting a business, look for opportunities in your own life. What do you wish existed? What gets people talking and asking for more? 2. What Makes Foam Parties So Popular? Foam parties aren't just a passing trend—they're a sensory, social, and safe way for kids (and adults!) to let loose. Kori notes that the laughter and joy are infectious, and the novelty never seems to wear off. Why Foam Parties Work: Universal appeal:** Kids of all ages love the tactile, immersive experience. Repeat business:** Many families and organizations book Bubble Bash year after year. Social media gold:** The visual spectacle makes for shareable, memorable photos. Pro Tip:   Capture candid moments and share them with your guests. Kori sends photos to families after events, creating lasting memories and organic marketing. 3. Behind the Scenes: How Bubble Bash Operates Running a foam party business is more than just turning on a machine. Kori's approach is professional, efficient, and community-focused. Logistics and Equipment Foam Cannons:** Kori owns two, allowing her to serve multiple events or larger crowds. Setup Needs:** Access to water and electricity is essential. Coordination with venues is key. Duration:** Most parties last about an hour—enough for high-energy fun, then a smooth transition to food or rest. Weather:** Rain doesn't stop the party; kids are already getting wet! Environmental and Safety Considerations Hypoallergenic Foam:** Safe for kids, pets, and lawns. Grass Care:** Kori rotates the foam area to prevent lawn damage. Clean-Up:** The foam dissipates naturally, leaving no mess behind. Actionable Advice: Always do a site check before the event to ensure access to utilities. Communicate clearly with hosts about what's needed for setup and teardown. Invest in quality, safe foam solutions from reputable suppliers. 4. Safety First: Creating a Fun and Secure Environment Safety is at the heart of every Bubble Bash event. Kori's background as a teacher shines through in her clear, consistent rules and her ability to manage groups of excited kids. Core Safety Rules No running or sliding:** Prevents slips and falls. No diving or cannonballing:** The foam isn't deep—remind kids it's not a pool! No sitting under the foam:** Ensures visibility and prevents accidental bumps. Implementation Rules Stand:** Kori sets up a visible sign at public events. Active Supervision:** She keeps a close eye on the crowd and gently reminds kids as needed. Inclusive Fun:** Even grandparents have joined in—one memorable guest navigated the foam with her walker! Expert Insight:   Safety doesn't have to kill the fun. Set expectations early, use positive language, and model the behavior you want to see. 5. Building Community: The Power of Local Networks Bubble Bash's success is rooted in community connections. Kori leverages local mom groups, Facebook communities, and word-of-mouth to grow her business. Strategies for Community Engagement Join local groups:** Participate in online forums and neighborhood networks. Collaborate, don't compete:** Kori often refers clients to other foam party businesses when she's booked, fostering goodwill. Support local events:** Bubble Bash is a fixture at Grayslake's Battle of the Bands, summer kickoffs, and more. Pro Tip:   Don't underestimate the power of grassroots marketing. Authentic relationships and community involvement build trust and loyalty. 6. Expanding the Fun: Beyond Kids' Parties While Bubble Bash is best known for children's events, Kori is open to new markets. Adult and Teen Events Glow-in-the-dark foam:** Black lights and colored foam create a nightclub vibe. College and community events:** There's untapped potential for older audiences.

On The Digital Executive podcast, Ani Mishra shares his insights as a seasoned software engineering leader at DoorDash, where he oversees the logistics systems powering grocery, retail, convenience, and alcohol delivery. Mishra emphasizes the importance of solving a single customer problem deeply and effectively before generalizing the solution for other verticals, ensuring both speed and scalability. He explains that high-performing teams thrive when they are built with top talent, are given autonomy, and have clear focus areas—along with a shared sense of ownership for the reliability of their systems. His leadership approach is grounded in understanding each team member's motivation, fostering inclusive culture, and always planning ahead to align talent with future problems.Drawing on his early startup experience at Phoenix and Mobify, Mishra reflects on the hands-on, all-hats nature of startup life, which taught him to build products from the ground up, scale them, and lead with empathy. Looking forward, he is most excited about how large language models (LLMs) are transforming logistics. From improving item discovery and route optimization in stores to enhancing customer experience and delivery safety, LLMs are enabling more intelligent and responsive systems. While AI has long played a role in logistics, Ani believes LLMs will accelerate innovation—from real-time decision-making to autonomous vehicles—making deliveries faster, safer, and more precise in the years ahead.Join thousands of curious minds and never miss a beat – Subscribe to our Newsletter for exclusive insights, episode highlights, and expert takeaways delivered straight to your inbox.

In this episode of The Industrial Real Estate Show, I had the pleasure of speaking with Vance Lazar from Pioneer Architecture. Vance has a long and impressive background in architectural design, with a strong focus on logistics and industrial facilities. He walked me through his career path, from early work in visualization to launching his own firm that's dedicated to logistics. Vance prefers the term "logistics" over "industrial" because he believes the field is all about speed, efficiency, and true collaboration.We covered a lot of ground, including site planning, ceiling heights, bay spacing, and growing power demands from electrification and automation. Vance talked about the importance of understanding local markets and how design needs shift from place to place, like Phoenix versus Indiana. He also highlighted how critical it is to work closely with partners across all disciplines, whether it's engineers or contractors, to avoid missteps and improve project outcomes.One of the most fascinating parts was Vance's explanation of how his team uses Revit and advanced visualization tools to create immersive virtual walk-throughs. Clients can experience a space before a shovel hits the ground, which helps speed up the entire process. We wrapped up with a personal moment, as Vance shared that his son is starting an internship in logistics and that my book played a small part in inspiring that path. It was a great conversation and I really appreciated his insight.About:Vance Lazar, originally born in Las Vegas but raised in California alongside his identical twin brother Kirk, has returned to his roots by obtaining his architectural license in Nevada. With extensive expertise spanning six other States including Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky – Lazar's homecoming promises a blend of fresh perspectives and innovative designs for Nevada's Logistics Market.Reflecting on his hometown roots, Lazar reminisces, “Though raised in California, Vegas has always been in my blood. We used to joke that we were born on a craps table, with Mom rolling snake eyes.” Local stakeholders eagerly anticipate collaborating with Lazar on upcoming projects, recognizing his talent as a driving force behind elevating Nevada's built environment. With his license secured, Lazar is prepared to redefine the architectural narrative of his beloved Las Vegas and beyond, including the industrial spaces vital to the state's economic landscape.Connect:Website: http://pioneerarchitecture.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vance-lazar-1975a412--
