Send us a textThe Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) category occupies a distinct space within enterprise technology, serving supply chain-intensive industries like retail and manufacturing with capabilities that traditional ERP systems simply cannot match. While ERP platforms manage transactional processes, S&OP suites focus on high-level strategic planning, offering advanced tools for forecasting, demand-supply balancing, and inventory optimization. Built around core pillars such as planning, network design, and limited execution functionalities like WMS and TMS, these platforms are designed to support long-term, macro-level decision-making. Increasingly, modern S&OP solutions are expanding into “connected planning,” integrating with HR, financial planning, and retail functions to create a unified planning ecosystem. When evaluating S&OP systems, factors like market positioning, product roadmap maturity, investor backing, and industry fit become crucial, as each platform brings its own strengths depending on architecture and planning philosophy. Selecting the right solution hinges on understanding how well it aligns with your organization's complexity and strategic goals.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 S&OP systems in 2025. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these S&OP systems. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each S&OP system.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

Even if you don't have hot flashes, stay with me on this because this episode is on exercise and hot flashes. We're going to dissect the science and eradicate “science says” as a cry for validity by influencers.  Hot flashes are one of the most common symptoms of menopause. I'll talk about the relationship between exercise and hot flashes along with other menopause symptoms like muscle loss or fat increase.   In previous podcast episodes and books, I've shared researcher comments about whether exercise could mitigate menopause symptoms. The answer, “Yes, provided it's intense enough.”    The Science A 2024 study on 72 pre, peri and postmenopausal women, published in the Menopause Journal of The Menopause Society, looked at the impact of minutes spent in 3 exercise intensities and body composition on total menopause symptoms (TMS).  More symptoms were associated with higher body fat. Intense physical exercise improves % body composition and may reduce TMS, beneficial for perimenopausal women.  An article published by the American College of Sports Medicine, looked at protein turnover changes, muscle size, quality and strength during menopause. All seemed to decline.    What we don't know [Dr Stuart Phillips' response to Mary Claire Haver's Instagram post regarding estrogen's impact on muscle] is the cause for these changes.   Is there evidence for causation between decline of estrogen and decrease in muscle mass, which some women experience:  Insomnia  Poor mood, depression or anxiety Lack of motivation (serotonin receptors) A time crunch in midlife  Comfort or emotional eating  Repeatedly, women will say, “I haven't changed a thing, but my results have changed.” That would be true if you didn't change what it was you were doing. If your hormones have changed, we have to change the exercise.   Another 2024 study in Menopause Journal showed both moderate intensity and resistance training exercise will decrease hot flash occurrence in some women, especially in women with depression.  High Intensity - more impact on body composition and positive impact on hot flashes Moderate Intensity - decreased hot flash occurrence   Exercise and Hot Flashes, Estrogen and Muscle Whether we're talking about exercise and hot flashes or estrogen and muscle loss, so many variables could be at play, even if the science is a randomized double-blind study with a large enough subject pool. If hormones have changed, we have to change the exercise (including nutrition and sleep habits) or it's not going to work.  If medications become important, then we have to look at micronutrients because they're depleted by each prescription or OTC med. If you don't absorb micronutrients you don't have optimal muscle or strength building blocks.    Social Media The type of studies that influencers share matters. Whether they've shared a review of literature, a double-blind randomized control study, or a narrative or know what that means What is the interpretation that helps you make decisions on changes you may want to consider or that reinforces what you are doing? The only real thing an influencer is sharing unless they share the science with you is, “what works for me” and you're left to guess… is that really what happens behind the scenes?    But before I share that, I think we know this:  Both are on a worthy mission… To improve the knowledge we have about muscle, bone and aging and the impact on them of daily and weekly habits  To acknowledge menopause has historically impacted women's health.   What can you do with the information? Make the best choices on exercise prescription, dietary choices, lifestyle habits to offset what is impacted by hormonal changes Make the best choices with their time and energy for women with hormonal changes to get the optimal health habits. Provide clarity about the exercise prescription that is most advantageous and then customize it for women based on their fitness status, health history, and stage of menopause  Train an army of Menopause Fitness Specialist® in every fitness club, health center, university and behind every online program.    Become a Coach on Exercise and Hot Flashes for Women in Midlife If you are interested in becoming a Flipping 50 Menopause Fitness Specialist® and tired of guessing for yourself, your clients and watching a lot of bro science applied to women without ever considering…  We've never asked questions about pelvic floor health in intake forms in the fitness industry. We've never considered from ovulation to luteal phase, a change in nutrition and exercise might serve a woman in reducing injury and getting better results. We've never suggested a woman test her muscle mass at 25 and bone at 30 when she's peaking to compare later.   Do you want to know how to create a comprehensive exercise prescription that supports, not worsens:  Insomnia Pre-diabetes and insulin resistance Low libido  Low bone mass  Body and (specifically) belly fat Exercise  Hot flashes/night sweats   More than 7 other key changes in exercise prescription that help a woman arrive at menopause, thrive through menopause, and enhance her longevity – reach out to me right now. We're opening the enrollment for the Flipping50 Menopause Specialist®. This is an amazing opportunity to join the program. Not only get the knowledge you need, but the business growth coaching so you aren't a wise broke trainer or coach like so many of your peers.  The number of trainers increased from 250,000 to 750,000 in the last decade. The number of health coaches has grown from zero to thousands in a few short years.  Yet, few of those are making a profit, let alone a living.  They're building websites, apps, social media…  they are failing. But you don't have to.  If you start from the beginning, skip the guessing with the copycat Chatgpt copy. You don't have to have a MBA in marketing or sales but you need to have a formula and blueprint to follow to build a business that starts successfully and is sustainable.    References on Exercise and Hot Flashes:  Moore SR, Cabre HE, Smith-Ryan AE.

In the last episode of this week, we've got Cody Koehler returning to the show to explain the impact of DOT Blitz Week on freight brokers and customers, and some trends in the market that you should know!   Here's What to Learn From This Episode: DOT Blitz Week Impact: Significant capacity crunches & rate spikes noted; brokers can leverage this time to solidify customer relations, even at a loss. Proactive carrier sourcing essential; reactive strategies expose operational gaps. Insights indicate future market volatility trends. Carrier Relationships & Rate Management: Premium rates are necessary during peak weeks to maintain capacity. Lack of support during tough weeks risks business loss to competitors. Key differentiators: tender acceptance & customer communication. Short-term losses viewed as long-term investments for relationship growth. Market Trends & Data Interpretation: Identify market shifts by tracking rate/capacity changes post-major events. Observations indicate weak fresh produce demand; diversification into dry, frozen, and dairy/deli sectors recommended. Notable muted demand in flatbed/open deck freight tied to construction commodities. Sales Strategy & Prospect Engagement: Consistency in prospecting, such as 50 cold calls/day, remains crucial despite high rejection rates. Establishing relationships early positions brokers for future opportunities. Increased cold call receptiveness observed; onboarding paperwork should be completed proactively. Final Recommendations: Proactively set up shippers with necessary documentation, even without immediate loads. Relationship building and preparedness against market shifts crucial for future success. Highlights contact info for Cody Kaler and encouragement to connect.   About Cody Koehler Cody is a 21-year veteran in supply chain/logistics. He has done just about everything in this industry minus holding his CDL (he did drive a yard dog though). In his current role, he oversees the sales and marketing teams for A&Z trucking, a 20-year old brokerage that specializes in produce and reefer freight, as well as cold storage and cross docking.   Connect with Cody LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cody-koehler-1a922b162/  Website: https://aandztrucking.com/  Email: info@aandztrucking.com  

Dr. Jason Giles, a board-certified addiction medicine expert, former anesthesiologist, and a person who has personally battled and overcome substance addiction, recently appeared on the *Awesome Health Podcast* by BiOptimizers. With over 27 years of medical experience and leadership in managing 40 addiction treatment centers, Dr. Giles offers an honest and compassionate view into addiction and recovery.  Addiction isn't just a medical condition, but a human challenge impacting all facets of life, from drugs and alcohol to screen time and food. These behaviors often serve as emotional coping mechanisms, hijacking the brain's reward system and substituting pleasure for well-being. Modern Addiction Triggers Substance use is not new, but the availability and potency of substances and stimuli have changed. Modern addictions are amplified by 24/7 access, social pressures, and chemically engineered substances that overstimulate neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine. Addiction isn't a lack of willpower, but a rewiring of the brain.  Substance use builds tolerance, creating a cycle of withdrawal, craving, and temporary relief. "Addiction is when we begin treating withdrawal with the very thing causing the problem," says Dr. Giles. This makes addiction chemical, emotional, and behavioral. The Journey Through Addiction Dr. Giles simplifies addiction into three stages: Fun, Fun with Problems, and Just Problems. It begins as an enhancement, then consequences mount, and eventually, the behavior continues despite harm. This trajectory isn't limited to substances, as emotional eating or overworking can follow the same path.  Raised in an alcoholic household, Dr. Giles became a successful anesthesiologist, but carried an internal void. Medical access led to experimentation, and Fentanyl became his drug of choice. An intervention led him to a recovery program with a 95% success rate. Redefining Recovery Detox is only the first step. True recovery is slow and non-linear. Dr. Giles believes in meeting patients where they are, using medication to ease withdrawal and building trust. Many team members are in recovery themselves, creating supportive environments. When the pandemic hit, Dr. Giles led in telehealth for addiction care, reducing relapses and shortening the gap between treatment and reentry.  Emerging therapies, like GLP-1 agonists and TMS, offer hope, but long-term change requires behavior shifts. Anyone can struggle with addiction, and everyone deserves a path out. "We have to stop treating people like problems and start treating them like people," says Dr. Giles. In This Podcast You'll Learn… The three stages of addiction and how to identify them. Why modern society amplifies addictive behaviors. How Dr. Giles overcame his own addiction. Emerging therapies for addiction treatment. The importance of compassion in addiction recovery.   EPISODE RESOURCES: Website

Lieve vrienden,    Deze week is schrijfster en rebalancer Lisette Thooft te gast. Ze publiceerde jarenlang in onder andere Happinez en schreef meerdere boeken (maar liefst 24!) over persoonlijke ontwikkeling, spiritualiteit en vrouw-zijn. Een groot deel van haar leven wijdde ze aan innerlijke groei. Daarin heeft ze het naar eigen 'toch best goed gedaan'. "Steeds duidelijker zie ik: als succes draait om geld of macht, dan is dat bij mij allemaal mislukt. Maar als het betekent dat je dichter bij jezelf komt, dan doe ik het eigenlijk ontzettend goed."   We spraken over vrouwelijke kracht, het helen van diepe wonden en over wat er gebeurt als je besluit jezelf écht onder ogen te komen. Volgens Lisette is heling geen rechte lijn, maar een dans met schaduw, schaamte, verdriet en genade. “We hebben geleerd dat je jezelf moet verbeteren. Maar wat je eigenlijk moet doen, is van jezelf houden zoals je bent.”    Lisette vertelt ook over haar nieuwe boek, Jezelf vergeven (voor alles), dat gaat over zelfvergeving (scroll even verder voor een leuke winactie!). Ze beschrijft hoe haar eigen proces van terugkijken - op relaties, op moederschap, op keuzes - leidde tot een belangrijke les: “De enige in de wereld die je hoeft te vergeven, ben jezelf.” Volgens haar houden we schuldgevoelens vaak onbewust vast. “Schuld is een schild tegen pijn. Het is iets wat we voor ons houden om maar niet te hoeven voelen hoe het echt was.” Haar boodschap: leer luisteren naar dat wat je liever niet voelt, want juist dáár ligt de ingang naar heling.    De aflevering staat nu online.

In this episode, Bryan Nelson is back for another insightful conversation about the trucking and language laws, and today, he talks about English proficiency requirements for commercial drivers and recent legal and regulatory changes!   Here's What to Learn From This Episode: English Proficiency Requirements: Overview of 49 CFR 391.11, B2 emphasizes that drivers must read and speak English to interact with the public and understand road signs; historical enforcement aimed to be employer-based. Concerns raised by ACLU and EEOC about civil rights implications during 1997 proposed rulemaking. Recent Executive Actions: April 28 Executive Order 14286 mandates FMCSA to enforce English proficiency within 60 days; CVSA reinstates out-of-service criterion. Regulatory landscape shifts toward roadside inspections, raising concerns about subjective enforcement by officers across states, affecting consistency and compliance. Operational Risks & Compliance Strategies: Increased potential for fines (500 first offense, 1,000 subsequent) and business disruption due to English proficiency violations - influencing insurance coverages. Recommended strategies for carriers include proactive English training, updating compliance procedures, and monitoring regulatory developments closely to mitigate legal risks and business impacts.   About Bryan Nelson Bryan J.

Most freight tech stacks are a tangled mess of tools that don't talk to each other. Ezequiel Peralta, VP of Technology at SPI Logistics, is working to fix that. This episode strips away the hype and digs into what it really takes to build functional, secure, and scalable freight systems. Peralta shares how SPI is moving beyond the TMS-first mindset by introducing a flexible integration layer, leveraging AI to reduce email chaos, and automating back-office tasks without sidelining the people who matter most. Freight leaders looking to create tech that works for humans, not the other way around, will get a lot out of this one.Key Takeaways: Freight tech success depends on modeling your business process before adopting any tool. SPI Logistics is moving beyond the TMS as the tech stack centerpiece with a dedicated integration layer. AI tools are only valuable when paired with structured data and business-aligned goals. Automation is transforming back-office operations, reducing manual tasks for better auditing and analysis. Everyone—not just IT—must be involved in managing freight fraud and data security.LINKS:Eze's LinkedInSPI Freight Agent ProgramSPI on CargoRexWATCH THE FULL EPISODE HEREFeedback?

Today, Jared Ross of eCarrierCheck is back on the show to give more valuable insights on how freight brokers can stand out and build a successful book of business in the market!   Here's What to Learn From This Episode: Sales Success Rooted in Relationships: Focus on controllable actions; consistently engage in sales calls. Genuine relationships remain critical for small/mid-sized brokerages despite technology. Operational excellence and understanding shipper pain points are vital for strong partnerships.

Preparedness before cold calls (company research, qualifying questions) boosts effectiveness, with persistence essential for reaching decision-makers. Value-Driven Approach: Transition from commodity-based to value-driven conversations helps brokers stand out. Providing real-time market intelligence (spot vs. contract rates) builds trust with shippers and strengthens expertise.   About Jared Ross CEO, eCarrierCheck.com Jared is the visionary leader behind eCarrierCheck.com, bringing years of expertise in logistics and technology to the table.

Comments or feedback? Send us a text! Dr. Chris Taplin,a psychiatrist and founder of Ottawa's TMS Life clinic, joins us for a deep dive into one of the most promising frontiers in psychiatric care: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS. As clinicians, many of us have encountered the heartbreak of treatment-resistant depression — watching clients struggle despite best-practice psychotherapy and pharmacology. TMS offers a non-invasive, evidence-based alternative that is reshaping how we approach these cases. In this conversation, we unpack the science, patient experience, clinical decision-making, and broader implications of this technology. Whether you're a skeptic, a curious clinician, or already working with neuromodulation, I think you'll find this a thoughtful, grounded look at where TMS fits in the future of mental health treatment.Topics We Cover:

Cassie Melvin - Peak Wellness, Outdoor Enthusiast & Hunter. Cassie is a marketing and communications specialist with a passion for all things outdoors, Cassie made a significant move 15 years ago, relocating to Colorado with her husband for what was initially a three-month internship. That brief stint turned into a lasting love affair with the Rocky Mountains, igniting her passion for outdoor activities and exploration. The diverse landscapes and singletrack trails of Colorado became her playground, where she discovered her love for hiking, mountain biking, backpacking, and running. While Cassie did not grow up hunting, her husband introduced her to the backcountry hunting lifestyle. Initially reluctant to take on the role of the hunter, she soon realized that her connection to this way of life was stronger than she had anticipated. With the support of her husband and a steadfast determination, she embraced the challenge of learning to hunt, approaching it with the patience and dedication that reflect her commitment to personal growth. In addition to hunting, Cassie is always looking for ways to challenge herself mentally and physically, including in mountain biking and trail racing. She completed the Pikes Peak Ascent last year (13.3 miles; ~7,800 elevation gain), and is excited to conquer it once again as she continues to push herself further in her personal journey. Beyond her individual goals, Cassie is dedicated to inspiring others to recognize their potential and break through their limits. As a mentor and motivator, she encourages friends and fellow outdoor enthusiasts to embrace challenges and explore the world around them. Cassie's journey is a testament to her belief in the power of perseverance, positivity, passion, and the unyielding connection to nature.
