Send me a messageOn this week's episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I'm joined by Rhea Rakshit, VP of Product Management at Sayari, a company helping organisations untangle the complex web of supply chain risk with data, design thinking, and a strong dose of social impact.We talk about why traditional supply chain visibility just doesn't cut it anymore - and how real insight starts with understanding who you're sourcing from and who they're connected to. Rhea brings a fascinating perspective, shaped by her background in social innovation and systems design, and years working on both the consumer and enterprise sides of supply chain tech.In this episode, you'll learn:✅ Why ESG is no longer just a CSR checkbox✅ How forced labour, climate risk, and deforestation are being tracked with data-led approaches✅ What “human-centred design” actually looks like in the context of supply chain software✅ The difference between visibility and insight - and why it matters for resilience✅ How global North boardrooms often miss the lived realities of their suppliers in the global South✅ Why consolidating sustainability ownership under risk or compliance functions is a game-changerIf you're serious about building a resilient, ethical, and future-proof supply chain, this conversation is a must-listen.

Charles Frank Bolden Jr. is a retired US Marine Corps Major General and former NASA astronaut. After flying on four space shuttle missions—STS-61-C, STS-31, STS-45, and STS-60—Charlie was appointed by former President, Barack Obama, to serve as the 12th Administrator of NASA from 2009 to 2017, making him the first African American to head the agency permanently. Today, Charlie is the Founder and CEO Emeritus of the Charles F. Bolden Group, a consortium of accomplished leaders founded in 2017 to foster international collaboration in making life better for all humanity. Charlie joins me today to discuss the qualities aspiring astronauts need to cultivate to be chosen for modern space programs. You'll hear about his career at NASA and the characteristics he thinks made him a NASA astronaut. He explores how the dawn of the new space age may change selection preferences for would-be astronauts. You'll also learn the value of being a team player and why being a jack-of-all-trades is essential to becoming an astronaut of today and tomorrow. “You will be technicians, scientists, and researchers all in one—and that's the kind of people we're going to be looking for.” - Charlie Bolden This week on Kathy Sullivan Explores: ● Qualities and characteristics NASA looked for in astronaut candidates in the 1980s● Civil rights in the 1980s and the psychological implications of growing up in the segregated South● Why being a team player is a high-value trait for NASA astronauts● Diversity as a trait of a high-performing organization● Why being a good fighter pilot doesn't necessarily mean being a great astronaut● The lack of diversity in NASA's Apollo era and how astronaut selection preferences have changed since● How the dawn of commercial spaceflight is changing preferences for would-be astronauts● How commercial spacecraft may change the employment prospects of future astronauts● The kind of crew NASA may seek for the Artemis program and beyond● Jessica Watkins, Kate Rubins, Peggy Whitson, and why researchers may be the astronauts of the future● Ridley Scott's The Martian and what it takes to be a modern-day astronaut Resources Mentioned:● Book: Riding Rockets: The Outrageous Tales of a Space Shuttle Astronaut by Mike Mullane Our Favorite Quotes:● “A great test pilot isn't necessarily going to be a great astronaut; a great test pilot with a big ego is going to be a lousy astronaut.” - Charlie Bolden● “The astronauts of today and tomorrow are not going to have the opportunity to train over and over again on something because they'll find that every day is something new.” - Charlie BoldenConnect with Charlie Bolden:• Inter Astra•

The BIG FREEZE is upon us and today, I will share with you what is necessary to get ready for such a weather event on a homestead in the south - because we do not build for this kind of weather even though it hits about every three to five years. Tales from the Prepper Pantry This week is when the pantry process we use here really shines  Just opened the last heavy whipping cream that I bought in December (story) Planning based on what is here: Hearty foods for the cold, cooked in the crockpot (But easy to transfer to the woodstove) Fat Tuesday is crepe day Have piles of elephant garlic to process -- not getting that done this week Operation Independence 2020 Business Tax Prep is done! (For the first time in 20+ years of hating coding) Celebration concept for 2021 (Balance) Main topic of the Show: Preparing for the Big Freeze in the South Why this? Why now? Base philosophy Plan for what is likely Keep the solution simple and elegant Multiple purposes per one solution Divides into areas of focus (It is all about mindset) Inside Oddities (city versus country) Livestock Well House and Other Outbuildings The Holler Family Meeting Entertainment and Fun Weather happens and it is one of the easiest things to plan for. The benefit of being ready for weather, if you do it right, is that it prepared you for other things. Approaching your household planning in this way not only gives you security through the storms of weather, it can also be the foundation to get you through the storms of life. Make it a great week!

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 57. Today, I’m talking to my longtime friend Leo Cummings about what white allyship can look like as we all wake up to the racial injustices perpetrated against Black people in our world today. I know there may be some of you who don’t understand the Black Lives Matter movement, who don’t see how racism still exists today, or don’t realize how powerful your words… or your silence… can be when it comes to today’s current events. I hope you’ll listen to this episode with open ears and an open heart. Episode 57 Topics: - What white women can do to support Black men - What it’s like as a Black man growing up with mostly white friends in the South - Why it’s important for white people to see color - How to our own anti-racist work and avoid burdening our Black friends with white guilt To support Leo and thank him for his generosity in sharing his wisdom and experiences, make sure you check out Black Dude White Dude podcast, especially the episode In Light of George Floyd.

A few weeks ago cousins Andy and John Anderson became the first Iowans to summit Everest from the North Side. I was honored to chat with them only a few days removed from the top of the world. On this week's show they share their journey, the experience of summit day, their purpose and preparation. How did they train for such an endeavor in the (relatively) flat state of Iowa? How is the North Side experience different than summiting from the South? Why forming a community and being clear on a purpose is so important in life? What must your mindset be to handle the intensity of seeing a dead body on the mountain? How will this experience influence their lives going forward? The higher purpose of Iowans for Everest is to positively influence the lives of veterans by reintroducing them to the tight bonds of a community. In this case, getting them involved in the climbing community and solidifying those bonds by taking them on hiking and climbing trips around the country. If you feel the need to support them, please do so at https://www.crowdrise.com/iowan-for-everest-2017 Frankly, I was just incredibly pumped because I've been geeking out over Everest stories for YEARS and these guys were the first people I've ever chatted with who had summited.....and their from one of the greatest places in the world!! Double bonus! Hope you guys enjoy this week's episode and that you are finding purpose in the pursuit of your own Everest- whatever that may be!

Without a doubt, the Presidential election of 1860 was an historic one. America was living in turbulent times. The debate over slavery was constant and heated. The issue of states rights loomed large. Americans had a number of choices in this historic election, and the candidate that prevailed was Abraham Lincoln. Who were the candidates of the election and how did people view them? What made Lincoln a galvanizing figure in such different ways for those in the North and those in the South? Why did southern and border states move so quickly to debate secession after his election? What would it have been like to be at those meetings, to hear the debates, to read the headlines daily?
