CHROs, your role has never been more vital or more complex. AI, shifting politics, hybrid work, and evolving employee expectations, have taken the front seat in today's world of work. The future says you're no longer just managing HR, you're redefining the workplace itself. That's exactly why I launched Future of Work Leaders, a supportive global community built specifically for CHROs who are ready to move beyond traditional HR and are committed to building future-ready organizations. In this episode, I share highlights from our very first 2025 gathering, where CHROs from some of the world's most respected brands came together to discuss the real challenges and opportunities shaping the future of work. I'm taking you behind the scenes of our inaugural Future of Work Leaders CHRO event, hosted at the Neiman Marcus Innovation Hub in Dallas. We brought together 40 CHROs from organizations like Johnson & Johnson, Northrop Grumman, Tractor Supply, Amway, and others to have deep, honest conversations about what's really driving change today. Topics like the evolving role of DEI, AI integration, hybrid work models, culture transformation, and even the political climate's impact on work. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1014: Today, we're covering President Trump's pause on reciprocal tariffs leaves auto imports still facing steep duties, while a record number of buyers turn to 84-month loans to afford today's rising prices.Show Notes with links:The auto industry is still squarely in the tariff crosshairs, even as President Trump backs off his broader reciprocal tariff plan. While a new 10% base tariff replaces most of the global duties, the 25% tariff on vehicles—and key materials like steel and aluminum—remains firmly in place.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed auto, steel, and aluminum duties are sector-specific and still active.Despite ongoing auto tariffs, markets surged on the pause news—Tesla jumped 22.7%, GM rose 7.7%, and Ford gained 9.3%.Industry leaders are pushing for relief with MichAuto's Glenn Stevens Jr. advocating for protecting the international supply chain, calling the fragmentation “harmful” to competitiveness.President Trump said he would consider exempting specific companies from tariffs, saying “We're going to take a look at that.”More new-vehicle buyers are turning to 84-month loans than ever before, highlighting just how financially stretched today's car shoppers remain.According to Edmunds, 20% of Q1 new-vehicle loans were for 84 months, up from 16% in 2024 and 13% in 2019.The average amount financed also jumped to over $41K compared to $32K in Q1 2019.On the used side, 12% of loans ran 84 months, more than double the 5.3% seen in 2019, with an average of $28K financed.Dealer Michael Cummings of I-10 Toyota: “I really, really don't like going 84 months... it's not healthy for the customers in the long run. It's not healthy for us dealers in the long run.”A new report from Retail TouchPoints, citing Forrester's 2024 U.S. CX Index, reveals that customer service is at its worst level since 2016. Despite access to advanced tech, only 3% of brands are truly customer-focused — and shoppers are losing patience.70% of customers say it's hard to find in-store help; 83% of associates say their jobs are too complex.Shoppers prioritize speed over flair—19% say quick item location drives return visits.Brands like Tractor Supply and Dick's use “store mode” apps to show real-time inventory and item locations.GenAI is gaining traction: 84% of customer service managers plan to deploy AI agents in 2025, up from 42% in 2023.“With greater customer experiences comes greater responsibility,” says CI&T's Melissa Minkow.Join hosts Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier 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/
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.

He also dives into AI adoption, customer-centric strategies, and the unique challenges of serving a specialized customer base.
Are you focused or merely busy? Jones Loflin sits down with Kevin to reveal the secret of focus, inspired by honeybees. Jones introduces six essential "permissions" that individuals must grant themselves and emphasizes their particular importance for leaders, who not only need to practice these permissions personally but also guide their team members to recognize and adopt them. These permissions include: The Permission to Prioritize – Bees prioritize maintaining the hive before making honey. How can we identify our most critical goals? The Permission to Plan – Similar to how bees prepare for changing conditions, how can we proactively set ourselves up for success? The Permission to Be Unavailable – Constant accessibility can hinder productivity. How can leaders create an environment conducive to deep work? The Permission to Recharge – Bees rest more than they work. What lessons can we draw from this behavior? The Permission to Change – Often, we stick to habits that are no longer beneficial. How can we embrace necessary changes? The Permission to Be Consistent – Although change is crucial, success frequently arises from disciplined, repeated actions.

Trump's tariff chaos backfires hilariously—his own USMCA treaty, a NAFTA glow-up he once hyped, trips up his team, leaving Canada and Mexico untouchableThe FDA's sham “black box” warnings shield Big Pharma's as he kills and cripplesWikipedia's Larry Sanger flips the script, trading hardcore skepticism for unshakable faith in a brain-busting journey rivaling C.S. Lewis.A “measles death” hoax unravels—hospitals dodge blame for a girl's RSV demise, pushing dodgy tests and MMR agendasDOGE crashes as courts prove they can squash his cuts with a single gavel. Will Trump challenge judicial supremacy?2:30 Trump Tariffs Sabotaged by His Own Trade TreatyNo one in the Trump administration read the USMCA (NAFTA rebranded) treaty Trump was so proud of in his first administration. So the tariff pendulum swings back and forth. How much of goods from Canada & Mexico are off limits? Will anything change in 30 days? 24:11 Black Box Cover-Up: People Dead or Disabled as FDA & Pharma Shifts Blame to Physicians & Pharmacists A pharmaceutical scandal that's destroying lives—like Whistler's and 27-year-old Elisa's—with the dangerous drug Levofloxacin (aka Levaquin). Prescribed for pneumonia, it left Elisa trembling, crippled by nerve pain and joint agony, mirroring Whistler's nightmare. The FDA's "black box" warnings are a sick joke—buried, ignored, and never shared by doctors or pharmacists who shrug, "It's rare!” This is how Big Pharma poisons with impunity while the FDA—Free to Do Anything—rubber-stamps their crimes. 44:34 LIVE comments from audience 55:59 Wikipedia Mastermind Shocks the World: From Atheist Skeptic to Christian Convert Larry Sanger, co-founder Wikipedia, has a stunning embrace of Christianity! This isn't just another celebrity conversion—it's a PhD philosopher's epic showdown with faith, tearing through decades of skepticism like a intellectual bulldozer. Raised with unanswered questions Sanger dove into the Bible, not to believe, but to dissect it. What he found? Answers that rocked his Ayn Rand-loving, agnostic world! Compared to C.S. Lewis and cold-case detective J. Warner Wallace, his journey from doubt to truth is a wild ride of reason, fueled by marriage, fatherhood, and a relentless quest for meaning. Uncover the shocking twist that's got everyone talking—faith isn't blind, it's bulletproof 1:05:28 “Measles Death” Looks Like Hospital Murder & Misattribution Forget the headlines screaming “unvaccinated doom”—this little girl, battling RSV pneumonia, was allegedly denied breathing treatments while her desperate parents begged for help. No measles rash, just a dodgy PCR test, and now a second “death” pops up with the same shady story. This sinister agenda to peddle MMR shots and bully RFK Jr. into submission worked like a charm. They're even cooking up a “Gulf of Measles” scare for Spring Break, ignoring that college kids would be. It's not about health—it's a power grab1:30:19 Check Your Chicks for mRNA, and Check MAHA for Bird Flu Fearmongering If you're going to get spring chicks for your backyard make sure they're not vaccinated as Tractor Supply boasts! And make sure you're not supporting the “MAHA influencers” like McCullough who've shamelessly pivoted from truth-teller to fear-peddling shill, now pushing pandemic for profit1:45:21 Trump's DOGE Dream Crumbles: Courts Claw Back Billions as Judicial Supremacy Reigns!Pop the champagne? Not so fast! Unless Trump fights judicial supremacy none of the celebrated DOGE cuts will stick. Only one of 677 district judges can halt the parade whether it's probationary employees fired or USAID foreign aid cancelled. 2:03:10 Blackrock Bought Into Panama Canal Company About a Month After Trump's ElectionHmmm… 2:05:17 Trump's Wild Card Chaos: Gerald Celente Exposes the Billionaire Freak Show and Power GrabGerald Celente, trend-forecasting legend TrendsJournal.com, rips the mask off the Trump administration's unpredictable madness!

Against the backdrop of this fresh experience (we deliver on the brand of our podcast name) — still breathless from the hustling irritation he was feeling — David invited Dr. Dave's moral critique. It led us into surprising territory. BTW, consider surprising your special Valentine tomorrow with a renamed body of water… it's trending.

Operation Good Boy's mission to transform pet health in America through education and premium products, while giving back to military working dog organizations and veteran support initiatives.

Inside Robby Starbuck's anti-DEI war on Tractor Supply, John Deere and Harley-DavidsonUS Today, by Jessica Guynn, on Aug. 2, 2024https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/08/02/robby-starbuck-harley-davidson-john-deere-dei/74608637007/The discussion delves into the recent activism of a conservative figure who has initiated a boycott against Harley-Davidson due to their support for LGBTQ+ initiatives and other so-called "woke" causes. This individual has previously targeted companies like Tractor Supply and John Deere for similar reasons, claiming his goal is to eliminate politics from corporate America. His efforts have gained some support among conservative circles but have also been met with criticism for being divisive and potentially harmful to societal progress. The narrative reveals a pattern of voices striving for change, where the loudest, not necessarily the fairest or most just, tends to dominate the conversation. There is a concern about the lack of counter voices promoting diversity and equality, highlighting a struggle between maintaining power and embracing a more inclusive workforce. The conversation also touches on the broader context of white men fearing the loss of power and privilege in the face of increasing diversity. This fear seems to be driving the pushback against initiatives aimed at promoting equity and inclusion. The historical context of economic systems exploiting underpaid labor is brought up as a possible underlying motive for resisting change. The debate suggests that there's an implicit desire to maintain a power structure that benefits a select few at the expense of broader societal welfare. The dialogue further explores the political implications of such activism, noting that bigotry has unfortunately become intertwined with conservative politics in the United States. Despite the traditional conservative emphasis on small government, there's an acknowledgment that ensuring equal rights and opportunities might require some form of intervention. The discussion highlights a perceived link between conservatism and authoritarianism, suggesting that those with conservative views might be more inclined towards authoritarian control, particularly in contexts involving diverse populations. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the concept of "white standardizing," where being white is seen as the default, and other identities are viewed as deviations. This mindset perpetuates a status quo that favors certain groups, contributing to the resistance against progressive changes aimed at fostering inclusivity and diversity.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.33.3 featuring Scott Dickie, Aaron Jensen, Jimmy Jr. and "Eli" (Eli Slack)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

Listeners to the Eric Metaxas Show will remember our annual effort to free Christians who have been enslaved for simply acknowledging Jesus Christ as their Savior. As we celebrate the birth of Christ this Christmas, join us in giving new life to brothers and sisters in Sudan who have enslaved as a result of their faith. https://csi-usa.org/metaxas https://csi-usa.org/slavery/ Typical Aid for the Enslaved A ration of sorghum, a local nutrient-rich staple food A dairy goat A “Sack of Hope,” a survival kit containing essential items such as tarp for shelter, a cooking pan, a water canister, a mosquito net, a blanket, a handheld sickle, and fishing hooks. Release celebrations include prayer and gathering for a meal, and medical care for those in need. The CSI team provides comfort, encouragement, and a shoulder to lean on while they tell their stories and begin their new lives. Thank you for your compassion Giving the Gift of Freedom and Hope to the Enslaved South Sudanese -------------------------------------------------------- Food For the Poor https://foodforthepoor.org/ Help us serve the poorest of the poor Food For The Poor began in 1982 in Jamaica. Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.

Markets slip; Supreme Court curtails federal agencies; Nike takes a hit; Tractor Supply ditches DEI.
Seeing the military as a tool to destroy the country. What's to protocol for speeding home and you have to go. Are lock down politicians trying to cover their butts for what they did?
