When you think about retail giants, you might picture big-box behemoths like Walmart or Amazon, which happen to be two of the largest companies in the world. You shop with them one too many times and it begins to feel like you have more boxes in your home than purchased products. But quietly—and impressively—Tractor Supply Company has carved out its own rural empire that customers love. With 2,500 stores, 50,000 employees, and $15B in annual revenue, it's not just a “tractor store.” It's a lifestyle destination for what their Chief Merchandising Officer Seth Estep calls “Life Out Here.”On this episode of The Reboot Chronicles Podcast, we sat down with Seth to learn how Tractor Supply is merging its values around community and innovations to serve rural America. All with the goal of not losing what made their brand popular in the first place, and some other surprises.

On this podcast episode we interview Jason Ireland, President of Industrial Supply Company (ISCO), a distributor of manufacturing parts who went 100 percent ESOP last year. Jason explains the step by step process their 100-year-old company went through to transition to an ESOP process.  The company was part union and part non-union, providing some background for some companies dealing with that reality.  There is even a ghost in this story…but he cannot be part of the ESOP (it's an ERISA thing).  We discuss the consensus building process with multiple shareholders and Jason's future generation as part of the leadership to steer the company into the future of employee ownership making the employees part of this family.

The recent earnings call by Tractor Supply Company has shed light on the company's performance and future outlook. Hal Lawton, the CEO, provided some clarity during the investor call, stating, "We anticipate average unit retails to be neutral to a modest headwind for the near term, as we anticipate stickiness to input costs such as labor wage rates and other items to mitigate any further reversion in commodity pricing." The company's strategic initiatives, such as Project Fusion and Digital ventures, which were highlighted in the last quarter earnings call analysis, resonate with the company's recent undertakings. These ventures are targeted towards leveraging artificial intelligence to optimize store operations and enhance customer service, demonstrating steadfast focus on both innovation and growth. The company's financial well-being, as reflected in the earnings call, indeed bolsters the confidence of investors. Last year's record sales of $14.6 billion evidence the continuation of Tractor Supply's robust market presence across its principal product categories. Backed by a stable diluted earnings per share of $10.09, the company attributes this success to strategic initiatives like Project Fusion, Garden Centers, Neighbor's Club, and Digital ventures, as outlined during the investor call. Varied consumer spending habits pose dynamic challenges for Tractor Supply, which is primarily focused on promoting the Out Here lifestyle. As noted during the earnings call, an increase in service spending has had an impact on the company's high-value businesses. However, CEO Lawton acknowledged, "We saw some benefit from the weather in the first three weeks of January…The month that's really going to determine our comps for Q1 will be March." This suggests a certain level of adaptive flexibility from the company. Tractor Supply appears to be taking a proactive approach in its future growth strategy. As stated in the earnings call, the company appears committed to expanding Project Fusion layouts and garden centers, along with enhancing the Neighbor's Club program. In a bid to bridge the gap between the digital and physical buying journey, the company also intends to personalize and enhance conversational commerce capabilities. To conclude, Tractor Supply's recent strategy, as revealed in the earnings call, is consistent with its overall growth objective. Though historical performance may justify a level of optimism, it remains crucial to underscore that future performance will largely depend on the successful execution of the strategic initiatives acknowledged in the earnings call. Adaptability in response to market shifts, technological advances, and customer demands will determine Tractor Supply's progress in the coming quarters.

Andrew is happy to say they sold out of all of the merchandise at the Cincinnati Boat Show.  AquaClean is their first brand.  It's detailing products to be use on boats, as well as cars and RVs.  Andrew has done detailing for over 10 years.  He's used many of the available products.  They spent about 2 years of testing to find the right products for their brand. Molley and Courtney talk about everyone seems to have a job(s) when a boat's involved.  Andrew is a serious cleaner.  Courtney takes care of getting things ready for the outing.  The AquaClean Product Line Courtney gives an overview of the products they offer.  She begins with WIPEDOWN, which is their flagship product.  It's a waterless wash, that prevents water spots and streaks on your boat after you're done for the day. Andrew talks about their PROTECT product that gives a stronger barrier of protection.  They have a variety of all-purpose cleaners and waxes.  There's plenty of new products in the pipeline, as well. Molley asks about a product to get hair dye out of your seats.  That can be a really challenge.  Andrew comment that many of the products on the market can actually break down the material.  There's no all-in-one product solution. Properly Caring for Your Boat   Molley discusses how so many people forget, or skip, wiping down their boats.  It's so important and a lot of new boat owners may not realize it.  Over time, your boat will develop a waterline, because you didn't take the time to properly care for your boat, by just wiping it down. Molley focuses particularly on caring for the seats.  Taking a little time to clean them and reapply protectant can ensure they not only look great, but they hold up over the years.  You can keep the seats from splitting and reduce damage to the threads, with a little effort.  The group briefly discusses a new type of material that is supposed to resist feeling hot to the touch and actually resists staining from sun lotion and other substances.  Where Can People Meet Courtney and Andrew? They're thinking about the Kuttawa Cannonball Run.  They're also planning to be at the Thunder Run on Lake Cumberland.  The plan is to have a display and maybe a special surprise.  Chad points out that today's episode is being recorded at Lake Cumberland's State Dock, on Courtney and Andrew's houseboat.  If you hear some noise in the background, it's all part of Lake Life. What Cleaning Mistakes Do People Make? Molley asks about mistakes people often make when cleaning their boats.  Andrew discusses how many people go wrong with the interiors of their boats.  Bleach can be a problem.  However, people done always understand that Magic Erasers have bleach in them.  He explains that the damage isn't immediately noticeable, but the following year, it's unmistakable.  General upkeep can be a challenge.  Failing to wash down the boat, wiping it down and applying protectant is extremely common.  It's all about consistency when it comes to properly caring for your boat. The group talks about some of the problems you can encounter if you don't have a good routine, at the end of the day.  They've all made mistakes.  Those are the ones you'll probably avoid next time.  Andrew recommends having a marine radio.  It'll be worth the investment if you need to use it. Chad asks Courtney for a quick update on her mother, Tina.  Tina was a star on one of the Dock Crawl episodes, last year.  Tina's doing okay and getting ready to spend time at their condo in Florida.  It looks like Courtney took over the torch for the Dock Crawl.  The group discusses some of the changes since last year.  Donsi Dale made an appearance in Episode 20.  His houseboat was actually featured on a season 16 episode of Top Chef, which was filmed at Lake Cumberland. Advice to Someone Interested in Buying a Houseboat The primary challenge is the cost.  Andrew comments that you either have to buy or rebuild an older model.  Houseboats seem to increase in value each year.  After the pandemic, people really aren't getting rid of their boats, because they became a refuge. On a side note, Andrew mentions his chili and wings cook-off.  They talk about some past events and special recipes.  There's even a costume contest. Lake Life Provides an Escape The group talks about how they really enjoy getting down to the lake.  It's a way to escape from the stress and pressure of day-to-day life.  Chad discusses how not having a cell signal is actually a good thing on the lake. Courtney tells Molley and Chad about all of the new changes in their lives, since last year:  an engagement, a new business, a puppy, a move and a new car.  It's been a whirlwind (or eddy, if you will).  Learn More About Aqua Supply Company Website:  www.ShopAquaCo.com Email:  Support@ShopAquaCo.com They're also available on social media, and are planning to be available on Amazon and on Walmart.com.  They're working with marinas and boat shops to provide a kit for new boat owners, as well as experienced boaters.  Chad mentions that as of the recording of this podcast, there's also a 15% discount for new customers, on the website. That's a wrap for this episode.  We'd like to thank our friends Courtney and Andrew for hosting with us.  We hope you found it helpful, insightful and maybe a little entertaining.  Thanks for Listening!

There's a reason why people say no one likes change. But for Kimberley Gardiner, Chief Marketing Officer at Tractor Supply Co, change is what she's learned to thrive on and how she makes the greatest impact. Kimberley knows what it's like to be the only woman in a room full of executive leaders, and she's had to learn how to be authentic and boldly share her ideas, even if they were unpopular at the time. From being able to do this, she's found more happiness and satisfaction from work than she could have imagined. Kimberley has a broad background in the automotive industry, previously having worked as SVP & Chief Marketing Officer for Volkswagen and Mitsubishi - and for Kia Motors America in marketing. She's skilled at innovation and is a creative thinker. Her role as a change agent was a perfect fit for Volkswagen's electric vehicles and the push for their adoption by the mainstream. In this podcast, Kimberley explains why leaders should be bold about asking for advice and tells us what she does every day that leads to her success. She also shares with us how to overcome failures, learn to say no, and what success habits helped her achieve her goals.

Put the record player away and move forward with the lesson.” – Kimberley Gardiner “Positioning success in terms of how it ladders up in the long term will help you be more successful in the short term.” - Kimberley Gardiner “By saying yes to everything you shortchange the things that are really important to you.”- Kimberley Gardiner  “The more you paint that picture early on, of what change can look like in the future, in a way that a person or team can relate to - saving you time, helping with turnover, achieving goals faster, and ultimately being more profitable, with a smaller footprint, the more people will be excited about the opportunity ahead.” - Kimberley Gardiner  About Kimberley Gardiner: Kimberley Gardiner, Chief Marketing Officer, Tractor Supply Company As the former Senior Vice President of Marketing & CMO at Volkswagen Group of America, Inc, Kimberley was responsible for leading brand marketing for VW, including building on the momentum generated by the introduction of Volkswagen's first all-electric SUV, the ID. 4.
