Supply Chain Evolution and Insights In this episode, I sit down with operations executive Jared Paget to explore the rapidly changing world of logistics and supply chain management. We reflect on the industry's growth, its increasing sophistication, and the vital role of data in shaping better decisions. Jared brings global experience and practical examples that highlight the challenges and opportunities facing supply chain leaders today. Lessons From the Past and Growth of the Discipline Jared and I discussed the parallels between today's logistics landscape and the dot-com era of the 1990s. I shared my experiences during the rapid rise and fall of many dot-com companies, while Jared reflected on how far supply chain education has come since then. Specialized programs that did not exist when he started are now providing students with strong foundations in supply chain and logistics, helping them enter the field prepared for modern demands. Data, Education, and Integration We explored the growing importance of embedding supply chain and logistics into college curricula, especially with a strong emphasis on data science. Jared compared data analysis to piloting an airplane, explaining that dashboards and metrics are critical tools for navigating complexity. Yet, we both agreed that while data provides insight, it is human judgment that ensures the best decisions are made. Data Analysis in Action Jared and I shared stories from our careers where data revealed crucial insights. I spoke about how analytics exposed hidden inefficiencies in nonprofits and influencer marketing, while Jared shared how reviewing customer order patterns uncovered opportunities for efficiency and growth. Both of us underscored that careful data analysis not only identifies issues but also drives measurable cost savings and smarter strategies. The Role and Rewards of Supply Chain We also touched on the wide-reaching impact of supply chain management. I reflected on my time working for an association that eventually sunsetted, showing how new educational programs reshaped the field. Jared shared how his passion for global cultures drew him to supply chain, and I emphasized the energy of negotiations and the creativity required to solve complex problems. Together, we highlighted how knowledge of supply chain can unlock both career opportunities and strategic advantages. Navigating Modern Challenges Jared and I closed the discussion by addressing today's evolving supply chain landscape. From tariff changes to reshoring conversations, the challenges are significant, but so are the opportunities. Jared stressed the role of data science in helping companies adapt, while we both reinforced the importance of continued education and training for the next generation of supply chain leaders. Jared also shared how listeners can connect with him for further insights. Jared Paget is an operations executive with over 15 years of experience transforming underperforming organizations and driving business growth across multiple continents. From leading Lean turnarounds that reduced backorders from $5 million to $250,000, to launching a greenfield battery assembly plant in Brazil that generated $20 million in revenue within six months, Jared knows how to turn operational challenges into measurable results. In this episode, Jared shares how he tackles adversity, scales businesses, and builds resilient teams through accountability and continuous improvement. With a passion for mentoring the next generation of leaders, his insights blend boardroom strategy with hands-on leadership—giving listeners practical tools for navigating complexity, fostering resilience, and achieving sustainable growth.

Send me a messageWhat if the biggest risk in your supply chain isn't geopolitical shocks or new regulations, but the data you trust every single day?This week, I'm joined by Andy Kohm, co-founder and CEO of SCIP, a supply chain intelligence platform built to clean, connect, and operationalise data across ERPs, PLMs, control towers, and the spreadsheets nobody admits to using. Andy has spent more than a decade wrestling with the messy reality of supply chain data, and his insights couldn't be more relevant as volatility rises and digital transformation hits its limits.In this conversation, you'll hear how bad data quietly drives bad decisions - from inflated lead times to unnecessary expedites to risk scores that collapse under scrutiny. We break down why most organisations can't agree on something as simple as the “source of truth,” and how that single failure cascades into higher emissions, higher costs, and planners who simply stop believing the system.You might be surprised to learn how often companies pay 10x for components they could have sourced at the normal price - simply because the underlying data was wrong. And we dig into where AI can genuinely help today (contract intelligence, grunt-work automation) and where it's still pure theatre without clean inputs.

Zera Zheng talks about her career journey; being open to opportunity; the importance of understanding risk; & what she learned, moving from China to Europe.     IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [03.36] How Zera began her career, going from University to a graduate program at Kuehne and Nagel, and how it allowed her to learn all about logistics. [07.20] Why it's important to try different things during your career, why Zera felt like she was getting a new challenge every day at Kuehne and Nagel, and the importance of expanding your comfort zone if you want to strengthen your capability. "Don't jump into decisions... Look around and see what could keep you interested... Success starts with passion." [10.42] How Zera came to specialize in Health, Safety, Security, and Environment. "As a graduate, you don't really know what each department is doing, you have to be open to the opportunity… That knowledge and experience, the things I did in the past, have shaped who I am now." [12.45] Zera's move to A.P. Moller–Maersk, the types of projects she works on now, and the importance of understanding, and responding to risk. [17.50] Why Zera took an opportunity to move from China to Holland, the pressures she felt, and the support she received to help make it happen. "We often hear that the logistics industry is men's work and, especially for a security role – we see men with a background from the military or police. It was rare to offer this opportunity to an Asian woman." [27.37] What Zera's 'industry rising star' award win means to her. [29.21] Zera's experience speaking at forums and on panels, and her advice for other women, from leaning into making mistakes to taking the time to practice. "I still remember making a mistake as a child, when I couldn't speak on stage… It reminds me of where I was to who I am now." [34.22] The mentors that have made an impact on Zera's life and career, and the scientist who inspires her. [38.00] The future for Zera.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   You can connect with Zera over on LinkedIn.

In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas welcomes Piet Buyck, global technology executive, AI strategist, and author of AI Compass for SC Leaders. With more than 30 years leading innovative IT solutions, Piet is on a mission to make AI-driven planning easy, accessible, and human-centered.Piet introduces the concept of the AI Compass—a framework that blends generative, agentic, and narrow AI to guide leaders through the complexities of modern supply chain planning. Instead of treating AI as just another tool, the compass helps organizations navigate uncertainty, break down functional silos, and move toward a more adaptive, holistic decision-making model.He emphasizes that AI should never replace humans, but instead amplify their judgment. Piet explains how to operationalize a “human + AI” decision model using a balance of accuracy, transparency, and fairness—determining what to automate, what to supervise, and what must remain human-led.The conversation explores why supply chain planning has remained stubbornly manual despite decades of technological progress. Piet outlines entrenched habits—rigid processes, siloed KPIs, and opaque numbers—that prevent companies from becoming AI-first. He shows how organizations can shift toward a more dynamic, assumption-driven, data-aware planning culture.Looking ahead, Piet describes the cultural transformation required for supply chain teams to thrive in an AI-augmented world: embracing continuous learning, developing data literacy, unlearning outdated practices, and building confidence to collaborate with AI systems rather than fear them. With the right mindset and governance, he believes companies can unlock massive value—far beyond traditional planning improvements.A must-listen for supply chain leaders, innovators, and anyone navigating the intersection of AI and organizational transformation.If you liked what you heard today, please leave us a review - Apple or Spotify.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In today's episode, we're joined by Martin Horgan, a well-known figure in the mining industry with a proven track record in exploration, development, and operations, from leading Toro Gold through to his time as CEO of Centamin.  Martin shares his thoughts on what drives him to set up a new mining company, what kind of opportunities he's targeting next, and how his past experiences have shaped his approach to risk and value creation. We discuss whether gold remains his focus or if other minerals are on the radar, how market factors like high gold prices influence decision-making, and how investor perspectives align with management's view of risk. Martin also reflects on the lessons learned from Toro and Centamin.  Martin is also going to be attending the upcoming Resourcing Tomorrow event - the premier gathering for the world's mining leaders taking place in London from 2-4 December. What sets this event apart is its unmatched audience: C-level executives from the biggest mining companies worldwide, over 40 government ministers, leading mining technology providers, and many more mining professionals in the industry. Dig Deep The Mining Podcast is proud to partner with Resourcing Tomorrow. To register, go to https://hubs.ly/Q03JvH2K0 and use DIGDEEP10 for 10% off your pass. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a strong desire to re-enter the mining sector, driven by a combination of personal enjoyment and the current geopolitical landscape, which presents unique opportunities for mineral supply and investment. When evaluating potential projects, the primary focus is on geological potential, followed by the stability and regulatory framework of the jurisdiction.  The current high gold prices influence decision-making, particularly in terms of project evaluation and negotiations with local partners. Funding Strategies: The choice between private equity and public markets for funding is crucial. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's a really interesting time within the sector where increasingly people are focusing back on it... where the various basic building blocks of society actually are sourced from." "We feel comfortable working somewhere within that sort of life cycle... there's probably more opportunity in the sort of exploration resource phase than there is maybe in the pre-development development phase." "I think the ideal model would be if you're in a cash flowing business, the listed space is very good... if you're in a pre-development basis, exploration as well, I think the private equity model works."

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1205: We break down how automakers are strengthening supply chains, why Stellantis is pushing out in-car ads, and what's driving up the overall cost of Thanksgiving this year.Show Notes with links:After five years of nonstop crises—from pandemics to tariffs to literal factory fires—automakers and suppliers are rethinking supply chain strategy with a focus on resilience, transparency, and deeper collaboration.GM, Stellantis, and suppliers say “resilience” now means shorter, simpler, more visible supply chains to avoid single-point failures.GM is using AI and machine-learning tools to map multilevel suppliers, but trust and data protection remain barriers.Stellantis' command center is rapidly shifting materials—like swapping aluminum for steel after a supplier fire—to avoid shutdowns.GM's senior vice president of manufacturing and product engineering, research and development Josh Tavel: “When we share data, align on standards and innovate together…we can all elevate our game.”Stellantis is catching heat after Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler owners reported marketing pop-ups showing up on their infotainment screens. It's not the first time, but this round is louder, wider, and way more frustrating for drivers.Jeep owners across social media shared identical “marketing notifications,” sparking backlash and déjà vu from February's warranty-ad pop-ups.Auto writer Zerin Dube posted the now-viral screenshot—then ironically used the $1,500 loyalty offer to buy a new Wrangler Rubicon X.Stellantis said the messages appear only at startup, disappear when driving, and can be permanently opted out via their customer care line.Stellantis spokesperson: “Our goal is to deliver the best vehicle experience… As a result of these efforts, we have seen our customers take advantage of this offer.”Thanksgiving shoppers are feeling the squeeze this year as bird flu, tariffs, and weather combine to push up the cost of the holiday meal—even as grocers scramble to keep turkey prices in check.The U.S. turkey flock hit a 40-year low after disease outbreaks, tightening supply and raising wholesale turkey prices more than 40%.Retailers are discounting turkeys, but staples like canned goods, sides, and produce are up—raising total meal costs between 2% and 5% depending on whose estimate you trust.Tariffs on imported steel and aluminum are making canned items pricier, including cranberry sauce, which surged 38% in one survey.“I don't know of anything that's down in price since last year except for eggs,” said consultant Paul NadeauJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Key Takeaways: Tariffs, Typhoons, & Turmoil: Derisking the Supply Chain In "Tariffs, Typhoons, & Turmoil: Derisking the Supply Chain with Moody's Andrei Quinn-Barabanov ", Joe Lynch and Andrei Quinn-Barabanov, Moody's lead Supply Chain expert, discuss the need to leverage predictive data and holistic strategies to mitigate complex, interconnected global risks. Financial Resilience Vetting: Supply chain managers must vet the financial health of all partners, not just customers. Use financial services (like Moody's) to assess stability. A stressed supplier is a critical performance risk, especially for industries like automotive and pharma. Geopolitical Planning & Diversification: Geopolitical risk is now a core factor, tied to tariffs and compliance. Aerospace and defense require scenario planning for policy changes and conflicts. Diversify sourcing regions to mitigate sanctions and trade duties. Digital and Physical Security: Threats include both physical cargo theft/freight fraud and sophisticated cyber security breaches targeting operations (OT). An attack on a 3PL or tech supplier (common in high-tech) can halt the chain. Invest in protocols covering digital and physical movement. Ethical & Legal Due Diligence: Pressure is high to ensure clean supply chains. Avoiding companies involved in slavery and/or money laundering requires rigorous checks. Non-compliance is a massive reputational and legal risk for sectors like pharma and energy. Climate-Informed Logistics: Weather risk is rising; use climate science in network design. In regions prone to typhoons or earthquakes, pre-qualify alternative routes, hold strategic buffer stock, and invest in resilient infrastructure. Transparency is Compliance: Achieving transparency and traceability is vital for issues like corruption and ethical sourcing. Modern tools (AI) are essential to trace components. This guarantees provenance for high-tech and ensures regulatory adherence for energy firms. Proactive Risk Modeling: Move beyond reaction to proactive risk modeling. Synthesize data (financial, geopolitical, ethical) to create risk scores for partners. This allows sectors like defense to build resilience by dual-sourcing and stress-testing their networks.  Learn More About Tariffs, Typhoons, & Turmoil: Derisking the Supply Chain Andrei's LinkedIn Moody's Moody's Cyber Report Moody's Auto Report The Logistics of Logistics Podcast If you enjoy the podcast, please leave a positive review, subscribe, and share it with your friends and colleagues.

In Episode 227, Tu and Lei break down a massive week in the global EV industry — one where China's innovation pace keeps accelerating while Western automakers scramble to respond.  Xiaomi's YU7 officially outsells the Tesla Model Y in October, marking a symbolic shift in China's most competitive EV segment. Meanwhile, Tesla's domestic sales slump to 26,000, signaling that aggressive price cuts and financing perks may not be enough as Chinese challengers tighten the pressure.The hosts also unpack XPeng's viral AI Day, featuring the “Iron Lady” humanoid robot, new L4 capable RoboTaxi prototypes, the Turing chip's rising importance, and XPeng's “physical AI” strategy — positioning the company as a vertically integrated mobility+AI platform rather than just an automaker.On the U.S. side, GM sparks headlines after reportedly urging suppliers to “de-China” their supply chains by 2027 — a massive, risky reshoring effort that could reshape cost structures across North America. Tu and Lei discuss the feasibility and geopolitical backdrop, including the Nexperia crisis, ICE tariff pressures, and USMCA uncertainty._____________________They also hit:

The conversation quickly turns to a compelling debate: How will the rise of generative AI impact career paths for newcomers, especially given that LLMs fundamentally rely on the contributions of existing experts? While pathways may change, they agree that core human activities—like networking, contributing to projects, and maintaining a hacker mindset—will remain crucial. The hosts then dive into a fascinating discussion on the darker side of SEO, introducing the concept of Generative AI Engine Optimization (GEO), where marketers exploit AI search results through tricks like keyword-stuffed files to game rankings. They tie this to historical examples of exploitation, harkening back to Google hacking days. Finally, they cover the recent Shai Hulud 2 supply chain attack, which infected hundreds of NPM packages and utilized even more sophisticated obfuscation and delayed execution tactics than its predecessor.

In this episode of Supply Chain Decoded, Jenni sits down with longtime friend and former Transfixer, Jack Pendergast, now Associate Director of Logistics at City Harvest, New York City's first and largest food rescue organization. Together, they trace Jack's journey from brokerages and fine art freight to purpose-driven logistics—moving millions of pounds of food and essentials to New Yorkers who need it most. Jack pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to keep a city fed: timing deliveries to food pantries with limited storage, navigating NYC traffic with a veteran union driver fleet, and managing peak season as holiday demand, marathons, and food drives all collide. He also shares how City Harvest is responding in real time to crises like government shutdowns—getting fresh food to military families, TSA workers, and other federal employees missing paychecks. They dive into why people, not just KPIs and tech, are the real backbone of any supply chain—from drivers and warehouse teams to community partners—and how City Harvest is thoughtfully modernizing its tech stack without losing sight of its mission: rescuing food that would otherwise go to waste and getting it into the hands of New Yorkers for free. Listen in to hear: • How Jack's brokerage background prepared him for nonprofit logistics • What makes food rescue and produce logistics uniquely challenging • Why relationships with drivers and community partners make or break operations • Simple ways you (and your company) can support City Harvest this season Plus, learn how you can get involved in giving back during this holiday season. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

America's solar industry is growing fast—but China still controls huge portions of the global supply chain. In this interview, Steve Yates sits down with Ben Delman of Solar United Neighbors to break down how U.S. solar manufacturing is changing, where our steel and panel components really come from, and how new policies could shift the balance of power.Delman explains the rise of American solar production, the role of China's subsidies, the struggle over rare earths and raw materials, and how state-level battles over net metering and community solar will shape the next decade. He also discusses how AI-driven data centers, steel manufacturing in the Rust Belt, and innovations like plug-in balcony solar could redefine American energy independence.

In this inaugural episode of Confessions of a Supply Chain Executive, host Chris Walton teams up with Richard Stewart (EVP of Product & Industry Strategy) and Eugene Amigud (Chief Innovation Officer) from Infios to conduct a forensic deep dive into retail's most persistent challenge: out-of-stocks. Despite billions spent on technology, the average retailer still faces an 8-10% out-of-stock rate. But here's the truth most won't admit: the problem isn't getting better. It's just getting different. This episode walks through every breakdown point in the supply chain, from forecasting failures to the infamous backroom problem, and delivers a practical framework to diagnose what's really happening inside your operations.

Send me a messageWhat happens to your supply chain when it gets too hot for workers to show up?In this episode I'm joined by Kevin Vranes, Chief Product Officer at Worldly, a platform working with tens of thousands of suppliers to generate real sustainability intelligence across global supply chains. We dig into why climate exposure, labour disruption, tightening disclosure rules, and escalating NGO scrutiny are converging into one of the biggest resilience challenges companies have ever faced, and why the old ways of managing risk simply won't cut it anymore.You'll hear how rising heat stress across manufacturing regions is creating a very real form of operational fragility, with knock-on effects that most leadership teams still underestimate. Kevin explains why the gap between brand-level assumptions and on-the-ground realities is widening, and why primary data from deep-tier suppliers is becoming essential infrastructure rather than a “nice to have”.We break down where AI is genuinely transforming sustainability analysis, including the shift from weeks of spreadsheet work to seconds of machine-driven insight, and where human relationships, incentives, and policy signals still determine whether change actually happens on the factory floor. And you might be surprised to learn why NGOs, not regulators, may become the true enforcers of global climate disclosure.If you care about supply chain resilience, Scope 3, data visibility, or the next wave of sustainability risk, this episode goes right to the heart of what's coming, and what leaders need to prepare for.

Our guest on this week's episode is Kraig Foreman, president of eCommerce at DHL Supply Chain. While stores are already showing the Christmas spirit with all of their beautiful decorations and being crammed with lots of inventory – peak season has not officially kicked off yet. But it will next week with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. After a tumultuous year for supply chains – are retailers prepared to handle the most wonderful time of the year? Our guest today joins Victoria Kickham with some insights.  While many industries are struggling to realize value from AI, transportation appears to be ahead of the curve, according to Breakthrough, which is a Wisconsin-based provider of transportation and supply chain solutions for shippers. That result came from the company's “Peak Shipping Season Pulse,” a survey of 300 industry decision-makers. The report found that 49% of U.S. transportation leaders say artificial intelligence reshaped how they managed this year's Q4 peak season rush.According to a survey of more than 400 U.S. warehouse associates, most view robotics and automation as a benefit to their careers and livelihoods. The survey was conducted by global warehouse robotics provider Exotec and is detailed in the company's recent “Warehouse Workers Sentiment Report: Understanding the Impact of Automation on Retention and Satisfaction.” Company leaders said the survey reveals a “surprisingly strong embrace of robotics” on the warehouse floor, with a majority of respondents saying they are interested in working with robots. Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Palmer Luckey got fired from Meta for backing the wrong candidate—now he's the hero saving American defense, and that shift tells you everything about how fast the ground moved beneath Silicon Valley's feet. For decades, tech and defense were allies, then came 15 years of hostility so visceral that Google employees revolted over a Pentagon AI contract, and when leadership caved, only three people showed up to hear what border security actually involves. But something broke: COVID exposed our inability to make things, Ukraine revealed wars now iterate in days not decades, and suddenly the Harvard dorm room generation realized the people building satellites and drones weren't just necessary—they were the future, while legacy defense contractors still operate on Soviet-style five-year plans that guarantee cost overruns and obsolescence. Now the question isn't whether Silicon Valley returns to its Cold War roots, but whether America wins by becoming more like China's centralized system or doubles down on the chaotic creativity that built nine of the world's ten most valuable companies in 25 years—and the founders flooding into defense, energy, mining, and manufacturing suggest the second American century is just getting started.Resources:Follow Ben on X: https://x.com/bhorowitzFollow Marc on X: https://x.com/pmarcaFollow Katherine on X: https://x.com/KTmBoyleFollow David on X: https://x.com/daviduFollow Erik on X: https://x.com/eriktorenbergStay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

For Episode #191 of the PricePlow Podcast, we explore one of the most interesting and scientifically-rigorous appetite control stories we’ve encountered on the podcast yet. Mike sits down with Sarah Kennedy, founder and CEO of Calocurb, and Dr. Edward Walker, the lead scientist behind the development of Amarasate®, the natural hop extract at the heart of Calocurb’s formula. This isn’t your typical supplement origin story. Instead of a garage startup or bodybuilding brand, Calocurb emerged from a $20 million New Zealand government research grant specifically designed to develop a plant-based obesity treatment. Calocurb: From New Zealand Science to Commercial Reality Dr. Walker takes us through the fascinating scientific journey that began in 2009, when the New Zealand government funded research to find better alternatives to weight loss drugs. His team screened over 1,000 plant compounds, searching for those that could trigger the release of appetite-suppressing hormones. After years of research, including two years spent collecting intestinal biopsies from hospital patients, they identified a specific New Zealand hop variety that produces remarkable results. The clinical data shows Amarasate® increases GLP-1 and CCK levels sixfold over baseline, reduces hunger by 30%, decreases cravings by 40%, and cuts caloric intake by 18%. Sarah Kennedy licensed the technology in 2017 and launched Calocurb in 2018, years before the GLP-1 injectable phenomenon made appetite control a household topic. Today, Calocurb is positioned as a natural GLP-1 activator that works three ways: as a standalone appetite suppressant, as an adjunct to reduce injectable dosages and side effects, and critically, as post-cycle therapy to prevent the rebound weight gain that occurs when people stop taking GLP-1 drugs. With new clinical trial results expected from a 150-patient, six-month study, Calocurb represents a potent bridge between traditional supplements and pharmaceutical interventions in the weight management space. https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/calocurb-191 Video: Calocurb: Natural GLP-1 Activation Through Bitter Hops Science https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c17t11gwlNc Detailed Show Notes: Sarah Kennedy and Dr. Edward Walker on Calocurb® and Amarasate® (0:00) – Introductions: A Different Kind of Supplement Story (1:00) – Dr. Walker’s Background: From Berry Compounds to Gut Science (3:00) – The New Zealand Government Grant: $20 Million to Solve Obesity (5:50) – How New Zealand Funds Primary Research (7:15) – The Government-to-Commercial Pathway (10:35) – The Pre-Ozempic Marketing Challenge (13:00) – The Timeline of GLP-1 Knowledge: 2009 vs. Today (15:45) – The “Bitter Brake” Theory: Location Matters (17:10) – Two Years in Hospital Waiting Rooms Collecting Biopsies (20:20) – Bitter Taste Receptors Throughout the Gut (22:30) – Why Plants and Humans Evolved This Way (24:15) – Why Bitter Detection in the Small Intestine?

Rising geopolitical tensions and global trade volatility has revealed a key power struggle: supply chains are a matter of national security. This year's annual report from the congressional U.S.–China Economic and Security Review Commission warns that China has begun weaponizing key supply chain chokepoints, from critical minerals to foundational semiconductors, creating risks that reach far beyond trade. In this episode, we're joined by Livia Shmavonian and Josh Hodges, two commissioners of the U.S.–China Economic and Security Review Commission, along with Professor Yossi Sheffi, Director of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics. They discuss key findings from this year's report: why companies have been slow to recognize the strategic nature of their dependence on China, how subsidies and overcapacity distort global competition, and why innovation remains the United States' greatest advantage. From U.S. manufacturing limitations to market access in China, the conversation explores what's at stake, what must change, and how companies and policymakers can prepare for a future where supply chain strategy is inseparable from national security.

Send me a messageWhat if 70–95% of your emissions sit on farms you've never even seen?And what happens to your supply chain when those farms face depleted soils, rising costs, and climate shocks all at once?In this episode, I'm joined by Rhyannon Galea and Kristjan Luha from eAgronom, a team helping thousands of farmers across Europe shift to regenerative practices and generate the credible primary data food companies now need for Scope 3 reporting. We dig into why agriculture remains the most opaque, and most consequential, part of modern supply chains, and why resilience increasingly begins in the soil rather than the warehouse.You'll hear how complex value chains, missing data, and inconsistent incentives have kept Scope 3 action stuck on PowerPoint for years, and how that's finally starting to change. We uncover why regenerative agriculture can strengthen yields and resilience, yet still takes five careful seasons to transition. And you might be surprised to learn how tractors, satellites, and field-level sensors are quietly rewriting how companies measure emissions, reward farmers, and prepare for CSRD and SBTi FLAG.If you're wrestling with Scope 3, agricultural emissions, or supply chain resilience, this one will give you a clearer path through the noise.

Andrea Morgan talks about her career journey; the similarities between supply chain & astrophysics, innovation, and why women need to bloom where they land.   IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [03.37] Andrea's degree in astrophysics, and why curiosity was her biggest driver. "I had a deep interest in the origins of the universe… It gave me the training to ask the right questions." [5.14] How a post-graduate placement at IBM exposed Andrea to a range of business areas, and ignited a passion for supply chain. "I learned that I didn't want to be a researcher, I liked being with people… Quickly I started to specialize in supply chain, I was drawn by the nature of the problems we were trying to solve." [07.20] From the emergence of the cloud to transformation at scale, Andrea's experience at Oracle during pivotal years in the adoption and expansion of new technology. [10.09] Andrea's role in digital transformation at Nike and what we can learn, from the alignment of business strategy and vision to the importance of metrics and measurement.

One of the biggest hurdles to native plant gardening is sourcing native plants. Whereas nurseries are starting to fill the demand, it is nevertheless difficult to keep up with demand. Sourcing seed from the wild is a major part of this process, but how do we do it ethically? Stripping native plant populations of their seeds isn't good for the habitats they comprise so this is where groups like the Mid-Atlantic Regional Seed Bank (MARSB) come in. Their mission is to conserve and wisely manage the Mid-Atlantic Region's wild seed resources, through scientific sampling, ethical collection, banking, and curation, and to encourage and actively contribute to the development of the Native Plant Material supply chain throughout the region. Join me and their Native Seed Collection Coordinator John Price as we discuss the process behind what it takes to achieve this mission and some of the major struggles they face.

She walks through the six core values that guide Novex.

Kelsey describes the pride she feels watching employees embody these values not only at work but in their personal lives, reinforcing the power of a values-first culture. Leadership Principles and Tech, AI, and the Human Touch in Logistics Empowerment Kelsey and Gene shift the conversation to today's evolving workplace and the rise of AI in logistics. While acknowledging industry layoffs and the anxiety surrounding automation, Kelsey stresses that technology should enhance human performance, not replace it. She believes logistics still thrives on relationships and personalized service, which machines cannot replicate. For Novex, AI is a tool, not the driver, and the company remains committed to keeping people at the heart of the business. Why Culture Shapes Leadership: Not the Other Way Around Diving deeper, Kelsey emphasizes that culture determines the type of leaders who emerge. She shares the breakthroughs she had once she formally defined Novex's core values, giving the organization a clear framework for hiring, training, and accountability.

By prioritizing value-aligned behavior, Kelsey has cultivated a dependable, supportive environment where people can thrive.
