17 May 2024 – BREWSTER, MA – May is National Bike Month. It has been promoted for almost seven decades to encourage more Americans to try biking, and at the McGraw Center in Nickerson State Park, that means everybody – regardless if the pedals are operated with feet or hands.

New Orleans is the sixth-most.  We'll talk with two people advocating for bicycle riding and bicyclists in Baton Rouge and in New Orleans. We'll talk with a former city planner in Lafayette. And we'll also hear about how the decisions surrounding how we build our cities affect how easy it is to walk and bike.

WBZ NewsRadio's James Rojas (@JamesRojasMMJ) reports.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Justin Smulison interviews Emily Buckley about her career after ten years at Kroenke Sports Entertainment and two years at Specialized Bicycle Components. Emily shares how she learned and developed, working with people around the world at Kroenke, and then how she moved to Specialized Bicycle Components seeking greater opportunities for advancement. Emily is a Board Director at the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter after being recruited to the chapter by Peggi Miller, her first risk management boss. Emily speaks of her enjoyment of risk management, and how she has been supported and mentored. In keeping with the laid-back atmosphere at Specialized, Justin and Emily keep the bicycle puns in motion throughout the interview. Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMS and RIMScast. [:14] Public registration for RISKWORLD 2024 is now open. Explore infinite opportunities with RIMS from May 5th through May 8th, 2024, in San Diego, California. Register at RIMS.org/RISKWORLD. [:31] About today's EPISODE of RIMScast. My guest is Emily Buckley. She is a Board Director of the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter and the Insurance Risk Manager for Specialized Bicycle Components. [:57] The timing of Emily's RIMScast debut is strategic. You'll find out why in a moment! [1:02] As you know, RISKWORLD 2024 is coming up from May 5th through May 8th, 2024, in sunny San Diego, California. Registration is open at RIMS.org/RISKWORLD. Register today!

Experience all the energies of our keynotes at RISKWORLD! Register at RIMS.org/RISKWORLD. We want to see you there! [2:25] There's a strategic reason Emily Buckley is now making her RIMScast debut. April is Supply Chain Integrity Month and May is National Bike Month, which has a Bike to Work Week, starting May 13th, Bike to Work Day on May 17th, National Ride a Bike Day on May 5th, and several other special days. [2:53] When Justin thinks of bicycles and supply chains, Emily Buckley comes to mind because of her great work leading risk at Specialized Bicycle Components. Considering recent events, it's a good time to speak about supply chain risk management with Emily. [3:09] It's an opportunity to discuss what it's like to work for a globally recognized brand and get an update from the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter and what's happening in Colorado. [3:18] Justin and Emily met at the RIMS ERM Conference 2023. Emily Buckley, welcome to RIMSCast! [3:31] Emily Buckley was an ambassador to Global RIMS at the RIMS ERM Conference. Emily is excited to be on the show! [3:59] May 5th is National Ride a Bike Day and April is Supply Chain Integrity Month. Emily is the Insurance Risk Manager for Specialized Bicycle Components! Emily is also a Board Director for the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter. [4:36] When Justin met Emily he thought she was like the queen of Colorado. Emily was involved on the periphery of the RIMS ERM Conference. RIMS organized a tour of Ball Arena, and Emily worked there with Peggi Miller, VP of ERM at Kroenke. [5:21] Emily was in the Risk Management Department of Ball Arena for 10 years. Peggi was her boss for all her time there. Peggi was the one who took a chance and hired her as a 20-something-year-old who knew just enough about insurance to be dangerous. [5:52] In 10 years, Emily rose from Analyst to Director of Risk Management under Peggi's mentorship. Peggi's knowledge and experience in the industry are invaluable. Peggi launched Emily in her career; Emily says she will always be in Peggi's debt. [6:17] Working for KSE at Ball Arena exposed Emily to a portfolio of different industries, lines of business, and risks. Emily led several projects. It took her a couple of years to build a reputation. As she developed, she asked Peggi for more responsibility and Peggi gave her anything she wanted to take on. [7:03] Peggi Miller is the Vice President of Risk Management at Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE) and the Vice President of the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter. [7:53] Before Emily started at the Ball Arena, they hosted the Democratic National Convention. She recalls March Madness. The Monster Jam sticks out to her. They hauled in lots of dirt and the building smelled like dirt for days. Years ago, they did a circus with animals. Walking past the caged tigers was fun! [10:03] Emily loved her job and the people at KSE but the opportunity to advance further wasn't there. She was looking at the job market and saw a posting for Specialized. She thought that this could be an opportunity to build something. [10:39] Going through the interview process, she found this was a new position for them. They were looking for someone with experience to come in and build a program and department from the ground up. She couldn't say no. This was in August of 2022. [11:30] Emily is a department of one person at a global company. She gets to meet or talk to many teammates from around the world. Every day is a new adventure. The challenge is that,  as a department of one, things can't get bottlenecked through her. She has learned to delegate a lot and automate as many of the simpler items as she can. [12:28] Having a broker who understands and supports Emily's role has been very helpful. The broker has taken things off her plate and has been as helpful as possible going above and beyond what a broker normally does. [13:06] Emily is working on taking off the training wheels at Specialized. She is not yet a cyclist but she has her eye on a mountain e-bike that she's very excited about. [14:21] Specialized Bicycle Components is headquartered in Morgan Hill, California. Emily believes it is the best bicycle company in the world. Their products are unmatched. They make e-bikes, mountain bikes, road bikes, a fantastic line of bikes for kids, and e-bikes for kids. Their riders are the best in the world. [14:59] Emily works remotely. It was a challenge at first but after COVID-19, working remotely has become the norm. Justin says working remotely takes a little greasing the wheel to build rapport. Emily gets to locations as much as she can to have face time, shake hands, and have lunch with people to get to know them on a personal level. [16:02] Emily explains how her experiences heading projects at KSE are beginning to apply to her work at Specialized Bicycle Components. Now that Specialized has a dedicated person/department to focus energy and resources, they can accomplish ERM projects they have wanted to do for some time. The executives tell her to run with them. [17:58] They ask Emily, how can we help you, how can we support you? She loves that Specialized empowers its employees to run with projects and ideas and bring them to the next level. [18:17] RIMS plug time! You can sign up now for RISKWORLD pre-conference workshops. They will all be held on May 4th and 5th at the San Diego Convention Center.

[19:24] RIMS Webinars: On April 18th, Hub International returns for the second installment of its Ready For Tomorrow Series, Challenging the Status Quo: Rethinking Your Casualty Risk Strategy. [19:37] Archer makes its RIMS Webinars debut on April 23rd at 11:00 a.m. Eastern. The session is titled Advancing RMIS: Strategies for Modern Risk Management.

[20:05] Visit RIMS.org/Webinars to learn more about these webinars and to register! Links are in the show notes. Webinar registration is complimentary for RIMS members. [20:18] The RIMS ERM Conference 2024 will be held on November 18th and 19th in Boston, Massachusetts. RIMS continues to present the best conference agenda by featuring the most engaged and knowledgeable risk professionals leading the discussions. [20:34] RIMS wants to hear from you. Submit your session by Friday, May 3rd. A link is in this episode's show notes. The best submissions will address current and future issues facing ERM practitioners and provide takeaways for an audience of risk professionals, business leaders, students, government officers, legal professionals, and more. [20:55] You must keep it relevant to ERM and Strategic Enterprise Risk Management. Remember, product sales pitches are not acceptable nor appropriate as part of the RIMS ERM Conference Education Program. [21:19] Emily speaks of the culture at Specialized Bicycle Components, a California-based company. It's built around fun, adventure, and creativity. Emily says risk managers are often known as the “fun police.” Risk management is a balance there. She is there to advise and keep the company safe. [23:42] With COVID-19, the supply chain was a challenge for a lot of companies. Specialized saw thefts coming in and out of Los Angeles. That was a huge challenge that Specialized worked to circumvent by diverting out of L.A. and putting in some controls. Within a few months, thefts were down. That was all before Emily was hired. [24:52] A recent supply chain challenge was the barge that hit the Key Bridge in Baltimore in March. Besides the losses to families, the shipping containers may never reach their destination, leading to cargo losses and claims. [26:22] Regarding the war in Ukraine and Russia, when Emily was at Kroenke, the concern was to make sure there were no employees there and that Kroenke complied with sanctions about paying companies there. With sports teams, there are players from around the world. Ukraine and Russia have not caused disruptions with Specialized. [27:45] The challenge with e-bikes is the batteries make underwrites and engineers incredibly nervous. Media carry reports of homes burning from batteries. It's becoming mainstream for homes to have some sort of Lithium-ion battery in them. The industry is scrambling to figure out how to manage these risks. [29:28] Engineers are still developing best practices for Lithium-ion batteries, including how to store them in warehouses. Insurance is about relationships, and being able to get in front of people and tell your story. Specialized Bicycles has an amazing story to tell and they want to tell it to their underwriters. [30:33] The RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter has a brand new website! One of the Directors, Taneal Pickles, revamped the website to improve the chapter's image. [31:17] The RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter hosted the RIMS Western Regional Conference in 2023. It was hosted in Vail in early October. Emily says it was fantastic and they could not have picked a better week to do it. The fall colors were popping. They did some hiking. There was great content with great speakers. [31:58] Emily says the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter is “just a bunch of insurance nerds who like to have fun and talk about insurance now and then.” The chapter President, Neil Colclough, supports Emily and the ideas she brings forward. Emily started a social events committee for fun monthly events with peers. [32:41] Peggi recruited Emily into the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter. It took a few tries but Emily is glad she succeeded. It has been a fun ride. On June 20th there will be a Rockies game and picnic for members. The 28th annual golf tournament will be in Littleton, Colorado at Arrowhead Golf Course in August. It's already sold out. [33:28] To learn more about the RIMS Rocky Mountain Branch, go to RockyMountain.RIMS.org. [34:04] Emily's advice to new risk managers: “Network! This industry is all about whom you know; your connections are going to be invaluable. This industry, at the foundation, is your relationships with people and how you know them.” It's work and you have to be intentional with it. It pays off! [34:53] Justin is glad he and Emily spoke! Just before RISKWORLD, Emily is going to speak at the World Broker Network Global Conference in San Diego, on a client panel. She will also attend RISKWORLD. Justin thanks Emily for being on RIMScast! [36:03] Special thanks again to RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter Board Director, Emily Buckleyn for joining us here on RIMScast!

Guided by the principles of respect, resourcefulness, and reciprocity, the OCBC's small professional staff and its many skilled volunteers refurbish donated bicycles, teach bike maintenance and repair classes, operate a bicycle thrift store, and lead community programs such as fixathons all out of their 12,000 sq ft shop in the Flats. Our guest, Jim Sheehan, is one of the founders and the director of OCBC. Join us as Jim speaks about how the spirit of cooperative work keeps wheels on the road. Hear about the Earn A Bike and Pay What You Can programs, the Idaho Stop, how to recycle a water bottle into a fender, essential bike maintenance tips, upcoming events, and much more. May is National Bike Month, and OCBC has you covered.

About the Show: In this short episode of the podcast, we reflect on the importance of Memorial Day and we talk about the history of the holiday and why it is such an important holiday of reflection and sacrifice here in the United States. We also shared a Memorial Day poem from Lenore Hetrick.  OUR MEMORIES  by Lenore Hetrick If we remember those who are gone Then they live again. They are here once more, they smile and speak, Just as do living men. So let's give our thoughts to the brave, Upon this Memorial Day. In spiritual fellowship, let us speak, And listen to what they say. For a soldier who died for his country must know Much that he could tell, And if we caught the message it might Serve us oft and well. So in our memories, let the dead Linger often and long. Recollections of that kind live, And are like a springtime song.

About the Show: In this episode of the podcast, we sit down with musician and live music expert, https://talkbusiness.net/2016/01/brian-crowne-named-vice-president-of-walmart-amp/ (Brian Crowne) to discuss the growth of the Music venue scene here in Northwest Arkansas. Brian and his family have owned https://georgesmajesticlounge.com/ (George's Majestic Lounge) on Dickson St for more than two decades. And, if that wasn't enough he purchased the https://waltonartscenter.org/amp/ (AMP) in the early 2000s and proceeded to help make Northwest Arkansas a regular stop for music acts both big and small. Brian's goal all along with the purchase of the AMP was to create,  “ A small town vibe with world-class amenities!” It looks like he has done just that, attracting a lot of big names to the Northwest Corner of the State. So many great acts have performed at the https://waltonartscenter.org/amp/ (Walmart AMP), including http://primusville.com/ (Primus), https://www.theb52s.com/ (The B52s), https://www.charliedaniels.com/ (The Charlie Daniels Band), https://hankjr.com/ (Hank Williams Jr)., https://www.earthwindandfire.com/ (Earth Wind & Fire), https://lynyrdskynyrd.com/ (Lynyrd Skynyrd), https://www.zztop.com/ (ZZ Top), https://www.dariusrucker.com/ (Darius Rucker), https://willienelson.com/ (Willie Nelson), https://www.maryjblige.com/ (Mary J.

It's not an easy job dealing with performance artists, but Brian has had a lot of practice taking good care of his employees and the talent that comes to the area.   Learn about the origins of the AMP.  For instance, the original location was the parking lot of the Northwest Arkansas Mall in Fayetteville before it moved up to its current space in Rogers just off I-49, and more importantly, how Brian teamed up with one of the largest companies in the world, Walmart to expand and improve the venue.   All this and more on this episode of I am Northwest Arkansas.  Important Links and Mentions on the Show*: Walmart AMP Email https://waltonartscenter.org/amp/ (Walmart AMP Website) https://twitter.com/walmart_amp?lang=en (Walmart AMP Twitter) https://www.instagram.com/walmart_amp/ (Walmart AMP Instagram) https://www.facebook.com/ArkansasMusicPavilion/ (Walmart AMP Facebook) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi2FSWYVHIFR3drGYScniZA (Walmart AMP YouTube) http://www.georgeslive.com/ (George's Majestic Lounge)   This episode is sponsored by*: https://weareethic.org/ (Trailblazers + Ethic) It's May, and you know what that means!

Welcome to May 2, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate a month of pedaling and smelly food. You've probably seen the old-fashioned bicycle known as the penny-farthing but didn't know it by name. This very silly looking bike has a huge front wheel, with a seat and handlebars on top, and a tiny wheel behind it. It got the name because the wheels reminded people of the penny and farthing British coins, one of which was big and the other small by comparison. The style seems wildly impractical now—which it is—but there was a time when this bike was all the rage. Because of its large wheel, it moved faster than other bikes and handled better on rough surfaces. However, if you fell…let's just say it was not pleasant from that height. Whatever style of bicycle you prefer during National Bike Month, hop on and start pedaling! If you're a fan of all things chocolate, then the word “truffle” brings to mind rich, decadent candy. But if you're a connoisseur of the fungus kind then you know truffles are a culinary treat. Truffles are mushrooms that grow underground, and when they are ready for harvesting, they give off an odor that is best detected by a pig or a dog. This pungent aroma is what gives them their characteristic flavor and ridiculously high price. But buyer beware; most truffles lose this flavor after only four days! For a product that fetches up to $350 an ounce, the market can be full of counterfeits. It's best to buy them from a reputable supplier. Or better yet, celebrate National Truffle Day by dining out at your favorite fancy restaurant. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Before The Bicycle Caught On, People Road Around On This Dandy Horse. Welcome to May 29th, 2021 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate a good way to get around and a crazy way to trade up.  Have you ever heard of a velocipede? It may sound like something out of Jurassic Park or even a giant insect, but it's something a lot more ordinary. A velocipede was an early version of the bicycle, but without a key feature. Instead of using pedals, riders would propel the vehicle along with their legs and once it was going fast enough, they would pick up their feet and cruise along. A lot of people thought these looked silly and gave them the nickname “dandy horses,” which wasn't the nicest expression at the time. About 50 years later, pedals and a chain were added and we got what we know today as bicycles. May is National Bike Month and today is the perfect day to get out and enjoy Spring! Have you ever heard the story about the guy who traded a paperclip for a house?  Kyle MacDonald, a Canadian blogger played the childhood game called Bigger, Better and started with a simple paperclip.  The idea of the game is that you keep trading up for something bigger and better until you reach an item you would actually like to keep.  At first Kyle traded his paperclip for a fish-shaped pen.  After thirteen exchanges he found himself with a movie role, which someone offered to trade for their two story farm house in Kipling, Saskatchewan!   Imagine turning an office supply into a house after only fourteen transactions.  On National Paperclip Day, celebrate the simple things in life that are worth more than you think!  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson.  Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

About the Show:                           We recently sat down with Wes Craiglow from the Urban Land Institute (ULI NWA). Wes is leading ULI’s effort to help Northwest Arkansas grow smart and not just big for the sake of being big. According to Wes, Northwest Arkansas is one of the fastest-growing metro areas under one million people in the United States.   ULI is a nonprofit created in 1936 to help communities transform for the most significant impact possible. The organization comprises Real Estate Developers, Lenders, Planners, Design Professionals, Title professionals, and community stakeholders. They focus on municipal planning, real estate planning, and economic, Social, and Health planning to ensure that an area grows with a measured and calculated approach.  According to Wes, even though we may have some housing issues due to the hot real estate market when this episode came out, we are far from using up all of the real estate space available in both Washington and Benton Counties.  With leaders like Wes Craiglow here in Northwest Arkansas, we should be in good hands as we continue to witness an explosion of growth here in the Ozarks. Please reach out to Wes with any suggestions or ideas about the place you call home. He is more than happy to connect with you and share your opinions with a larger audience.  Wow! I can’t believe we will be almost a Million people by 2050.  All this and more on this I am Northwest Arkansas episode.

About the Show:                           We recently sat down with Jake Lewis, the founder of WoodWorx Workshop. Jake is a  talented artist and woodworker.  He learned to marry his passion for woodworking and art with business. He takes recycled wood and repurposes them into works of art for all to enjoy - see some of the examples in the show notes below. I spent some time in Jake’s tidy little workshop just off the Greenway on the Fayetteville and Johnson line, where I got a chance to watch work on one of his new creations, and then we sat down to talk shop - no pun intended. Jake shared an example of how he learned to handle wood and the tools necessary to make his works of art.  He is pretty much self-taught, and from the looks of the art that he is creating, he had a great teacher.  Jake attends many Craft Fairs around the State and is a regular fixture at the Bentonville Market, Ozark Natural Foods, and the Velvet Otter.  All this and more on this I am Northwest Arkansas episode.   Important Links and Mentions on the Show*: WoodWorx Workshop 6302 S.

About the Show:                              If you are looking for motivation to get your business idea off the ground or just need that extra push for your current business bookmark and listen to this episode for great stories and motivation to achieve your dreams here in the Ozarks whether big or small.     We recently had a chance to sit down and talk with Brant Barnes, owner of the local Shelter Insurance in downtown Fayetteville.  We connected with Brant through our friend of the podcast, Mark Zweig, a professor of Entrepreneurship at the Sam Walton School of Business at the University of Arkansas.   The cool thing about Brant is that he doesn’t just own an insurance agency - his dad was a long time insurance agent in Mountain Home - but he also has a knack for running businesses. He built some strong relationships early in his insurance career that propelled him to buy into the Papa John's Franchise in Mississippi and then ultimately he converted those successful operations into multiple locations in Arkansas and Missouri.    Brant also has his car dealer license and he is a very good pilot that even knows how to crash land a plane and live to tell the story. You have to hear the whole story to believe it.    This is one of our most engaging episodes and Brant shares one nugget of wisdom after another. Be prepared to strap in focus and take some notes. You will not be disappointed.   Brantisms:Yes, we made this word up but it is applicable.     “Where we learn is on the edge of comfort!” “Always have a plan, no matter what.”   All this and more on this episode of I am Northwest Arkansas.   Important Links and Mentions on the Show*: Brant Barnes Email Brant Barnes on LinkedIn Brant Barnes Shelter Insurance Shelter Insurance Website - Brant Barnes   This episode is sponsored by*:   BikeNWA - May is National Bike Month!

Gerry Van Bakel is a dear friend of Open Journal and KPFT; long-time listeners to Open Journal will be immediately familiar with her name and her distinctive voice. For years she worked as a daily volunteer, producer and reporter for the KPFT News and helped with the daily, morning version of Open Journal prior to her returning to her native Netherlands about 3 years ago. During her time in Houston she also fostered her love for bicycling, riding to KPFT’s Montrose studios and joining several riding groups, including Toxic Shocks and MS150 Team ElMeson. SHe was deeply involved with Bike Houston and continues her bicycle advocacy and practice now back in the Netherlands. During this National Bike Month, we have gone overseas to bring our former-resident expert and source back into our virtual KPFT OJ studios for a discussion of life post-Houston, bicycling here and there and more. It is our joy and sincere pleasure to welcome back to KPFT’s airwaves Gerry Van Bakel.

  The United States with five percent of the world’s population  incarcerates 25% of the world’s prisoners.   Mass incarceration in the United States is well-known.   Today’s guest points out something not as well known.   Overcrowded and underfunded prisons now outsource educational and mental health services to religious groups.   These religious organizations are overwhelmingly run by nondenominational protestant Christians who see prisoners as captive audiences for their message.   Is there a problem here? Tanya Erzen is the author of God in  Captivity:  The Rise of Faith-Based Prison Ministries in the Age of Mass Incarceration.   Laura Everett is a United Church of Christ minister in Boston who for the last eight years has made the bicycle her main vehicle of transportation in all four seasons.   She has found that riding her bike has connected her with her city, expanded her community, activated her on issues of transit justice, and increased her spiritual growth.  She is happier because she rides her bike.     As May is National Bike Month, it is timely to talk with Laura about her book, Holy Spokes: The Search for Urban Spirituality on Two Wheels.Tanya Erzen Interview 00:00-27:18Laura Everett Interview 27:48-53:00
