In this episode of Stories from the River, host Charlie Malouf wraps up the Ron Carucci series by welcoming special guests Marcus Benjamin and Davin Salvagno. Both guests provide insights into Ron Carucci's impactful talk delivered at Broad River Retail on Friday, September 20, 2024. Marcus Benjamin, CEO at Benjamin Strategy, and Davin Salvagno, founder of PurposePoint and the Purpose Summit, share their admiration for Carucci and his ability to inspire and educate his audience. Having collaborated with Carucci on numerous occasions, Davin describes Ron's talk as one of the best he has ever given, highlighting the impactful message of understanding not just who people are but "whose they are you." Marcus adds that Ron's stories and data-driven insights resonated well with Broad River's culture, emphasizing the importance of having robust "seams" within organizational structures to facilitate growth. Both guests reflect on the key takeaways from Carucci's talk, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, vulnerability, and trust in fostering a healthy work environment. Davin mentions the visual analogy of an ill-fitting sport coat to describe organizational growth and the need to adapt to new sizes and challenges. He stresses that genuine trust can only be built through honesty and vulnerability. Marcus discusses how leadership can inadvertently break trust by not aligning actions with communicated expectations. He shares a personal example of leading by action to reinforce company objectives, emphasizing that Memory Makers should see their leaders model the behavior expected of them. Davin also unpacks the benefits of looking at feedback as "Feed Forward." And, he descibes the concept and story of "balcony people" from the book of Hebrews as people cheering you on during a race in describing how Memory Makers welcome you when you come to the River and cheer you on. The episode closes with praise for Broad River Retail's culture of purpose leadership, encouraging other organizations to follow suit in fighting for a purpose greater than profit and using business as a force for good.

Welcome back to the behind the scenes series at Stories from the River. Host Charlie Malouf welcomes Memory Makers Sara Callahan, Joanna Innocenti, Jeff Willis, Stacie Pittman, and Nathan Jeter to reflect on Ron Carrucci's impactful talk given at The River on September 20th. The central theme of Carrucci's talk, and the series of discussions following it, revolve around the importance of connection, which is also central to Broad River Retail's 2024 word of the year - Connect. The episode underscores the significance of in-person events to foster genuine connections amongst Memory Makers, especially in a work culture increasingly dominated by virtual meetings. They discuss how these events make them feel valued and invested in by Broad River, creating opportunities to eliminate distractions, feel the energy of their fellow Memory Makers, and engage in meaningful conversations. The Memory Makers share various ways they aim to maintain connections, both with coworkers and customers. They emphasize the value of in-person interactions and regular team events, like the Sleep Summits at the Charlotte Motor Speedway and The Purpose Summit held earlier this year in Charlotte, in strengthening team bonds. Techniques like virtual coffee breaks and quarterly lunches are highlighted as effective ways to stay connected in a remote work setting. On a personal note, some Memory Makers also discuss how staying connected helps them be more mindful and balanced, enabling them to slow down and approach work with renewed energy and clarity.

Welcome to Stories from the River and this new mini-series from Ron Carucci's visit to Broad River Retail. Host Charlie Malouf welcomes guest speaker Ron Carucci, a bestselling author, and the co-founder and managing partner of Navalent. Carucci is known for his expertise in building trust within organizations and has spoken multiple times at the Purpose Summit, including the recent Purpose Summit this spring in Charlotte, North Carolina. This episode features a Q&A session with Carucci, who engaged with Broad River Retail's Memory Makers at their Fort Mill, South Carolina, campus following his talk and presentation to Broad River's Memory Makers on Friday, September 20th. The discussion focuses on insights into organizational trust, collaboration, and effective communication across different departments, or ways to 'stitch the seams' and keep the seams better connected. Carucci delves into ways to handle and improve tension in relationships within the workplace, emphasizing the importance of consistent and honest communication. He suggests practical steps like having regular, informal conversations to build trust slowly and advocates for the use of 3rd party facilitators when necessary. Carucci also addresses the need for scalable operating models and warns against relying on "heroics"—short-term, unsustainable efforts to fix problems. Instead, he encourages organizations to create standardized processes that can support long-term growth and innovation.

Welcome back to the 12th and final episode of The Purpose Summit series on Stories from the River. Host Charlie Malouf interviews Kent Chevalier, the Team Chaplain of the Pittsburgh Steelers, at the Purpose Summit held at the NASCAR Hall of Fame Museum Gear Shop. Kent shares his backstory, highlighting his transition from a youth pastor to becoming an NFL chaplain. Kent describes how a Steelers player, Vance McDonald, introduced him to the role after attending the church where Kent was a pastor.

Working with Athletes in Action, Kent serves as the team chaplain and has access to the team. Kent expresses how supportive Coach Mike Tomlin and the Rooneys have been as he enters his 6th year of being the chaplain for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kent explains his daily activities as a chaplain, focusing on building relationships and providing spiritual guidance to players, coaches, and their families. He emphasizes the importance of addressing the spiritual side of the athletes' lives, which is often neglected amidst their intense schedules. Through various programs like Bible studies, chapels, and couples' ministries led by Kent and his wife Erica, they support the team both on and off the field. In this episode, Kent shares an impactful transformation story of one of the players, and he also expresses his favorite part of his job. Over a decade of ministry experience and reconnecting with Davin Salvagno brought Kent to The Purpose Summit, where he expresses excitement about sharing his journey and insights as one the keynote speakers this year. The episode also delves into the broader topic of integrating purpose and ministry within business environments, as seen at The Purpose Summit.

Ron shares how he first attended the Purpose Summit through a connection with Richard Sheridan and then became a speaker at the event the following year.

Welcome back to the Purpose Summit series on Stories from the River! Host Charlie Malouf sits down to talk with Sam Thevanayagam, also known as Sam T. Sam, who owns two companies in the defense space, speaks about the vital role of purpose in his work. He emphasizes that his businesses, Parts Life and DeVal Lifecycle Support, are dedicated to supporting the U.S. warfighter by extending the life of critical defense equipment through remanufacturing and repair. This not only safeguards national security but also ensures fiscal responsibility by reducing the need for new acquisitions. Sam's personal mission statement is to create environments where others can achieve their God-given potential, and he highlights how his faith and stewardship are integrated into his work culture. The conversation also delves into Sam's journey from working in a Philadelphia manufacturing company to starting his own businesses in 2007. Facing initial challenges and setbacks, particularly during the Great Recession, Sam pivoted to the defense industry and landed small contracts that eventually led to larger, more critical projects. He shares a touching story of transforming a person's life (who was released from prison for a welding work program) by offering him a second chance through employment, symbolizing the broader impact of his company's mission. Sam wraps up by discussing his upcoming breakout session titled "Running with Scissors," which focuses on risk mitigation, and to be able to ultimately take care of others.

Welcome back to The Purpose Summit series on Stories from the River. In the 9th episode of The Purpose Summit series recorded in front of a live studio audience at the NASCAR Hall of Fame Museum Gear Shop, host Charlie Malouf welcomes Joe Colavito to discuss his journey and experiences related to The Purpose Summit. Joe has attended the summit four times, beginning as a participant and evolving into a speaker. Joe shares the story of how he initially discovered the summit through a business partner and how he first attended. Over the years, his involvement deepened, culminating in him presenting at the University of Notre Dame in 2022 and at the most recent event in Charlotte in 2024 with a breakout session titled, "Struggling to Navigate with Purpose in a Panini Maker Generation." The session aims to help attendees understand the importance of balancing purpose amidst life's pressures, akin to the heat and pressure in a panini maker. Joe dives deeper into his personal journey, detailing his pivotal transition from a life centered around material success and self-centered activities such as golf, travel, and the country club lifestyle to one focused on purpose and spiritual fulfillment. This transformation began after a life-changing conversation with a co-worker named Scott Kaufman, which ultimately led Joe to embrace faith and redirect his career path. Joe's experiences, including the profound impact of losing five teenagers to suicide within his community, have driven him to dedicate himself to helping others find and activate their purpose. He now runs Life Purpose Scan and promotes the idea of "Run after One," a concept grounded in biblical principles, aiming to impact individual lives deeply. At his breakout session, Joe instructed attendees to pay careful attention to where they give their "a-tension" and stated that your purpose isn't something that you have to find because it is your GPS that's built into you. That you just have to access it and instructed attendees how to activate it. Joe wrote the book "Inside Out, Upside Down" for parents, coaches, and teachers of these young lives who are struggling. Through his work, Joe emphasizes the importance of accessing and activating one's purpose and understanding the difference between perception and reality. Joe's future foundation will be called "The Run After One Foundation."

Welcome back to the Purpose Summit series on Stories from the River! In the sixth part of the series, host Charlie Malouf welcomes Dwight Eberts as a guest. Dwight, who works in the same building as Davin and has attended four Purpose Summits, sat down for a podcast interview before he was scheduled to lead a breakout session titled "Breaking Boundaries." In this episode, Dwight shares his background, revealing that he met Davin at church during a mission trip to Guatemala, which led to their friendship and professional relationship. He discusses his early career in the Detroit area, where he co-founded an insurance marketing organization. Dwight elaborates on the challenges of managing rapid business growth and learning to lead effectively without prior experience, which led him to seek a business coach. Dwight's journey into coaching began after realizing the negative impact his demanding career was having on his family life. His coach, whom he humorously refers to as a life coach, helped him prioritize and balance his personal and professional life. This transformative experience motivated Dwight to embrace leadership and eventually pursue coaching for his own career. He realized that he loved walking alongside other people. Now, Dwight's coaching business focuses on helping individuals identify and overcome areas where they are not reaching their full potential. In his breakout session "Breaking Boundaries," he aims to provide attendees with the tools to develop clear, actionable plans to improve various aspects of their lives. His focus is to help people get clear, confident, and committed. Getting clear is about understanding your values, your priorities, and evaluating your time. Getting confident refers to the mind. Our actions and results are rooted in our thoughts and beliefs. Focusing on a growth mindset, and addressing limiting thoughts and beliefs, can often help us grow and develop. Regarding commitment, that includes understanding our different roles in life, and creating a game plan with accountability. It's the R, the I, and the S of, the R.I.S.E. acronym. Dwight's R.I.S.E. acronym stands for: - Restore Your Vision - Increase Your Confidence - Systemize For Success - Embrace The Journey Dwight's Coaching Website: Executive Life Coaching | C122 | Be Renewed - https://www.coaching122.com/ The "122" in his Company's name ("Coaching 122") comes from Romans 12:2 - "Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

In the fifth part of the Purpose Summit series on Stories From the River, host Charlie Malouf interviews Mark Whitacre live from the NASCAR Hall of Fame Museum gear shop. Mark Whitacre, who is notable for his involvement in a high-profile FBI price-fixing case that later inspired the movie "The Informant!" starring Matt Damon, shares his journey of wearing a wire for the FBI for three years to expose corporate malfeasance at his former company. Whitacre details the impact of his wife Ginger, whose faith and insistence on turning himself in to the FBI played a pivotal role in his decision to cooperate. Despite the initial promise of a six-month plea deal, Whitacre ended up serving eight and a half years in federal prison due to his own prideful actions and refusal to sign the agreement initially. Whitacre's story evolves into one of redemption and faith, highlighting his transformation during his time in prison, where he was significantly influenced by Chuck Colson and Ian Howes. After being released, Whitacre rebuilt his career and currently serves as Vice President of Culture and Care at Coca Cola Consolidated, a company he had stolen from 35 years ago. He now champions a faith-driven corporate culture, overseeing chaplain programs, prayer groups, and bible studies in the company's numerous plant sites. The episode underscores themes of forgiveness, purpose, salvation, transformation, and redemption, as Whitacre shares his journey from corporate executive and FBI informant to a leader fostering workplace culture and care.

Welcome to The Purpose Summit Series on Stories from the River! To kick off this 12-episode series with selected speakers from The Purpose Summit 2024, Charlie Malouf welcomes Davin Salvagno, Founder and CEO of Purpose Point and a return guest of the podcast. They sat down for this conversation at the NASCAR Hall of Fame Museum Gear Shop during The Purpose Summit 2024. A friend of The River, this episode marks Davin's fifth appearance on the podcast. Davin shares the experience of bringing the 5th Purpose Summit to Charlotte, and he discusses the intricate planning and teamwork that goes into organizing The Purpose Summit. Recorded in front of a live audience during the breakout sessions on day two of the Summit, Salvagno shares insights about the opening night of The Purpose Summit, where purposeful and positive speakers like Nick Craig and Jon Gordon set a high standard, delivering messages that were both inspiring and transformative for attendees. He describes the first night as a microcosm of the Summit's larger objective, emphasizing the importance of stopping to follow others' maps and instead becoming map-makers. The Purpose Leadership Awards also shone a spotlight on organizations exemplifying purpose from three different areas (for profit, non profit, and faith-based). The discussion moves to the events of the following morning with presentations by Ron Carucci and Mark Whitacre, both delivering impactful content that challenged and inspired participants. Davin reveals that this year's feedback was particularly positive, noting a stronger emphasis on actionable "how-to" advice compared to previous summits. He addresses the demanding nature of organizing the Summit, sharing his motivation drawn from the high percentage of disengaged workers and the transformative potential business holds. Both Charlie and Davin underscore the significance of the event for attendees and organizations like Broad River Retail. Looking ahead, The Purpose Summit is set to return to Charlotte in 2025, with Salvagno expressing hope for the Summit to continue its impact and possibly establish a long-term home in Charlotte.

In the fourth part of this six-part series on Stories from the River, host Charlie Malouf welcomes back guest Charlie Workmon, President and CEO of Riverstone Logistics, in a deeply insightful discussion about the transformative journey of Broad River Retail. In this episode, they cover a span from 2016 to 2020, a crucial period during which Charlie W led the turnaround in the Operational side of the business by focusing on the best practices from LEAN; became an owner in 2016; then joined Manny Rodrigues and Charlie Malouf in a management buyout in June 2018; and ultimately launched the Company's Purpose Statement (Furnishing Life's Best Memories) in pursuit of being a purpose-led organization. The conversation delves into the broader theme of purpose within the corporate and personal realms, highlighted during the company's Purpose Summit in 2019, Purpose 8:28. Charlie W discusses how these ideas of purpose guided the company through subsequent challenges and opportunities. Workmon elaborates on emotional and professional struggles, including the impact of a devastating fire at their Fort Mill distribution center in early June 2020 during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, which tested his mental resilience and connection to his role within the company. Both Charlie Malouf and Charlie Workmon share their experiences with mental health challenges, reflecting on the importance of support and community within the workplace. Reflecting on his five years with Broad River Retail, Charlie W cites his personal and professional growth that happened over those five years and says that there's no way that Riverstone Logistics exists today like it does without that growth. He recalls how much he loved the people and the partnership. Book mentioned: Everything I Know About Lean I Learned in First Grade - Robert O.

In the latest episode of Stories from the River, host Charlie Malouf, welcomes Stephen Knopp, Regional Vice President, Corporate Chaplains of America, and Tim Sayles, Director, Faciliites & Construction, Broad River Retail. Stephen explains what chaplaincy is and how Corporate Chaplains are caregivers in the workplace for employees and family members of employees. Stephen shares his journey from West Virginia then to NC State and Duke, eventually leading to coming a chaplain with Corporate Chaplains of America and then to his current role, emphasizing the organization's recent growth from 180 to 400 chaplains across the contiguous United States. Stephen illustrates how critical caring for employees in the workplace through chaplaincy programs has become, citing the increased relevance of such programs given the surge of loneliness, isolation, and mental health challenges amplified by the pandemic. Tim speaks to his personal motivation for overseeing the chaplaincy program, reflecting on his background with churches and community support. Tim has overseen the Corporate Chaplains program at Broad River since its launch nearly five years ago, and has seen it grow to where it is now with 20 chaplains covering 34 locations. They discuss why Broad River Retail introduced Corporate Chaplains of America to its Memory Makers at Purpose 8:28 in 2019, which was essentially to care for its people with purpose. The Corporate Chaplain program is Employee Care (i.e., Memory Maker Care) and it's there when a Memory Maker needs it. When crisis comes or when life happens, that's most likely when you might need a chaplain. The aspects of the Corporate Chaplain program are that it is confidential, anonymous, permission-based, available 24/7/365, and the chaplaincy program does not try to push religion or religious beliefs on anyone. They dive into the significance of the corporate chaplaincy program offered to the Memory Makers at Broad River Retail. Highlighting the importance of caring for and providing Memory Makers with chaplain services to help them through personal challenges that impact them or even a member of their family, such as grief counseling, financial struggles, stress and anxiety, relationship problems, depression, isolation, loneliness, illness and mental health issues. When it was launched at Broad River in the Fall of 2019, the program initially featured chaplains visiting the company's facilities weekly, but it has evolved with technology advancements, such as with the telachap QR code app, to maintain support during the COVID-19 pandemic, which curbed in-person interactions for a period of time. They continue the conversation with the various aspects of the chaplaincy service, including its remarkable utilization rate being significantly higher than that of traditional Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). This, they attribute to the culture of care that Corporate Chaplains of America fosters within companies, positioning chaplains not just as confidants, but also as liaisons to additional resources like EAPs. The episode illustrates the broader impact of the chaplaincy program, both within Broad River Retail, and across other businesses, underlining the program's role in nurturing an organization's well-being.

In this solo episode of "Stories from the River," host Charlie Malouf talks about the importance of identity in relation to purpose within Broad River Retail. Charlie delves into the concept of identity and shares the origin story of how Store Identities came to be five years ago during Broad River's "Year of Purpose." He recounts how each General Manager had been asked to come up with a nickname for their store, which culminated in a memorable event where each store's new logo was unveiled in a highly engaging ceremony with balloons and big reveals for each team. Charlie then takes listeners on a detailed journey through the identities of various Broad River's stores, regions, and various departments, explaining that after stores got their nicknames, regions and departments followed, creating a comprehensive system of unique identities. He provides examples such as the stores within the North Stars region, the Wild West region, and the Savage South, among others. These nicknames range from referencing the stores' physical locations to embodying their aspirations or character, like the "Flagship Enterprise" and the "Bull City Bombers." Charlie shares that not only stores but departments and other locations like the three Distribution Centers, Retail Operations, and Corporate divisions also adopted playful and meaningful identities like "Fort Mill Otters" or "Mar-Com Macaws." Through these unique identities, Charlie emphasizes the culture at Broad River of making business fun, intentional, purposeful, and personal, encouraging each team to create and embrace their specific identity which reinforces how they are seen and how they see themselves. Ultimately, this builds culture, enhances team spirit, and boosts morale while furnishing life's best memories. Thinking about joining The Purpose Summit in Charlotte, NC?
