An AI agent can finish a task and still violate the rules that matter most. In supply chain, that gap can affect cost limits, approved suppliers, compliance requirements, safety protocols, and escalation paths. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton speaks with Vin Vashishta, CEO and AI strategist at V-Squared, about intent contracts, audit trails, workflow reorchestration, tokenomics, semantic layers, and evidence-based AI strategy. Vin explains how to evaluate AI by the value it creates, budget for recurring usage costs, work with imperfect information, and require consultants to connect every recommendation to evidence, risk, mitigation, and business-specific ROI.

On this episode of The Buzz, powered by Toyota Automated Logistics, hosts Scott Luton and Karin Bursa welcome Philip Vervloesem, Chief Commercial and Markets Officer at OMP, for a wide-ranging conversation on the forces reshaping global supply chains. From extreme weather and transportation disruptions to China's rapidly expanding automotive industry, the team explores today's biggest supply chain headlines before diving into AI, decision velocity, always-on planning, and the evolving role of supply chain professionals. Supply chain leaders have more data, technology, and intelligence at their fingertips than ever before, but the real competitive advantage comes from turning those insights into the right decisions faster. Scott, Karin, and Philip examine how organizations can use scenario planning, external market signals, AI agents, and connected decision-making to respond more effectively to disruption and uncertainty. They also explore why successful AI adoption isn't simply about automation or replacing people. Instead, the future belongs to organizations that combine intelligent technology with human judgment, collaboration, trust, and business context. Key Takeaways Resilience happens before disruption. Scenario planning and decision intelligence give organizations more options while there is still time to act. External signals matter. Weather, climate patterns, market conditions, and other syndicated data can help companies anticipate disruptions and continuously refine supply chain plans. Decision velocity is becoming a competitive advantage. Leading organizations aren't simply collecting more data—they're connecting data to decisions and executing those decisions across the enterprise faster. Agentic AI's greatest opportunity is augmentation. AI agents can identify issues, evaluate scenarios, coordinate information, and recommend actions, while people provide judgment, context, governance, and leadership. Always-on planning is changing traditional planning cycles. Planning isn't disappearing, but waiting for weekly or monthly cycles to respond to change increasingly will. The planner of the future needs strong human skills. Business knowledge, communication, influence, collaboration, storytelling, and the ability to navigate trade-offs will become even more valuable as technology advances. The future of supply chain planning isn't simply about moving faster—it's about making better decisions with greater confidence. As AI, intelligent planning platforms, and always-on capabilities continue to evolve, successful organizations will be those that connect technology with human expertise and turn complexity into action. Tune in to hear how leaders can prepare now for a more adaptive, resilient, and decision-driven supply chain.

Luton is joined by Karin Bursa, Bobby Holland, Director of Freight Business Analytics at U.S. Bank, and Dr. Jason Miller, Eli Broad Endowed Professor of Supply Chain Management at Michigan State University, to unpack the latest U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index.

The Buzz, powered by Toyota Automated Logistics, is back with another timely look at the news and trends shaping global supply chain. In this episode, host Scott Luton is joined by Paul J. Noble and special guest Lora Cecere, founder of Supply Chain Insights, for a wide-ranging conversation on agentic AI, supply chain fraud, manufacturing, forecasting, lead times, and why decades of technology investment still haven't delivered better results for many organizations. From the growing role of AI agents in commerce to the increasing sophistication of supply chain fraud, this episode tackles some of the biggest challenges and opportunities facing supply chain leaders today. Scott, Paul, and Lora explore why trust and data verification will become even more critical in an agentic world, what current manufacturing data really tells us about the economy, and why organizations need to rethink long-standing approaches to forecasting and inventory management. Lora also challenges the industry to move beyond so-called “best practices” that may actually be outdated historical practices. The conversation digs into the importance of dynamic lead-time data, predictive analytics, balanced scorecards, and cross-functional decision-making and asks a critical question: If supply chain technology has advanced so dramatically, why are so many supply chains still underperforming?

The group also explores lifelong learning, the value of hands-on operational experience, and why AI should be viewed as a capability multiplier, not simply a tool for cutting costs or increasing efficiency. They close with powerful insights on leadership, trust, empathy, and creating environments where people can succeed. Key Takeaways: Successful change starts with the people doing the work. Find true advocates early, listen carefully to resistance, communicate the “why” repeatedly, and give teams the time and resources needed to implement change. Supply chain has become a strategic differentiator. Competition increasingly happens between entire supply chain ecosystems, not simply individual companies. Tomorrow's supply chain professionals need more than technical expertise. Strategic inquiry, discernment, judgment, adaptability, communication, and influence will become increasingly important as AI expands access to technical capabilities. Copper and other critical resources could become major constraints on AI and electrification growth. Data centers, infrastructure investment, geopolitics, tariffs, and limited natural resources are creating complex global supply challenges. Professional development needs to become cross-functional. Giving employees opportunities to experience sales, operations, supply chain, finance, and other perspectives can help break down silos and improve organizational performance. AI should make people more capable, not simply more efficient. Organizations that use AI only to automate existing tasks may miss its greater potential to enable employees to solve problems and perform work they could not previously do. Leadership is about enabling the success of others. Strong leaders remove obstacles, protect their teams, model the right behaviors, build mutual trust, and create an environment people want to follow. This episode brings together timely supply chain news with practical lessons on leadership, learning, technology, and organizational performance. Whether you're preparing your workforce for AI, navigating major market shifts, developing the next generation of supply chain talent, or simply trying to become a stronger leader, Hans, Rod, and Scott offer actionable perspectives you can put to work right away.   Additional Links and Resources: Toyota Automated Logistics: https://toyota-automated-logistics.com/ With That Said: https://bit.ly/WTS-8-August-2026 Leading Beyond The Next Disruption: https://bit.ly/Mourad-Tamoud-SE Rod's LinkedIn Post: https://bit.ly/The-Perfect-SC-Manager Han's LinkedIn Post: https://bit.ly/Hans-Music-Stories Copper jumps to its highest level ever.

Drones are transforming the security landscape across the American homeland, creating opportunities for first responders while introducing rapidly evolving threats to military installations, critical infrastructure, public safety, major venues, and communities. This STRAT episode examines warnings from U.S. Northern Command and NORAD leaders that existing sensor and interception capabilities may not be sufficient to confront modern drone swarms launched from within U.S. territory. Host Hal Kempfer explores lessons from Ukraine, the disruption unauthorized drones can cause during wildfire operations, and their growing use by criminal smuggling networks. It also examines the expansion of Drone as First Responder programs, which can provide emergency personnel with valuable situational awareness before crews arrive. From terrorism and espionage to public safety and emergency response, drones are reshaping risk assessment. The central message is urgent: governments, infrastructure operators, security professionals, and major venues must develop dynamic counter-UAS plans before the next major incident occurs on American soil.Takeaways:America's drone defenses face significant sensor and interception gaps.Future drone attacks could originate from within U.S. borders.Ukraine demonstrates drones can challenge advanced conventional military forces.Unauthorized drones can disrupt and endanger critical emergency operations.Criminal networks increasingly exploit drones for smuggling and contraband.First responder drones can dramatically improve emergency situational awareness.Critical infrastructure and major venues need counter-UAS planning now.Drone preparedness must anticipate evolving threats, not yesterday's attacks.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #DroneSecurity #HomelandSecurity #DroneThreats #CounterUAS #DroneWarfare #DroneSwarms #NationalSecurity #PublicSafety #CriticalInfrastructure #EmergencyResponse #DroneTechnology #FirstResponderDrones #MilitaryIntelligence #SecurityPreparedness #ThreatAssessment #UnmannedAircraftSystems

A missed delivery in a public health supply chain is never just a logistics problem. It can mean a child misses a vaccine, a patient goes without treatment, or an entire community loses trust in its healthcare system. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton welcomes Don Hicks, CEO of Optilogic, and Taylor Wilkerson, Executive Director of Design for Life, for a powerful conversation about using supply chain design to help more people access essential medicines. Don and Taylor explain why many public health supply chains face the same complexity as the world's largest commercial networks, but must operate with far fewer resources, limited infrastructure, and consequences measured in human lives rather than profit. Taylor shares how outdated systems, manual processes, and limited visibility can prevent medicine from reaching the communities that need it most, while Don explains why managing the existing network is not enough. Meaningful progress requires redesigning the system itself. The conversation explores why resilient supply chains must be built before a crisis hits. Taylor explains how better data, flexible networks, and stronger design can help healthcare systems respond to outbreaks and demand surges. He also shows how a single stockout can lead to missed care, greater health risks, and lost trust. The medicine may cost pennies. The real challenge is getting it to the right people at the right time. Don and Taylor also talk about how AI can make advanced supply chain tools more accessible. Local health leaders could ask questions in plain language, test scenarios, and make faster decisions without relying on outside consultants. By putting planning and optimization tools in the hands of the people closest to the problem, Design for Life aims to improve healthcare access and save lives.

Bad Bunny has been in the news this week for a wave of legal, cultural, and tour-related developments that keep him at the center of the Latin music conversation. The biggest story is a pair of lawsuits in Puerto Rico over the use of women's voices in his songs, alongside fresh speculation that he may close his world tour with shows in San Juan later this month.[1][2][11] According to El País, singer Tainaly Serrano Rivera is seeking $16 million, saying her voice was used without permission in Solo de mí and EoO.[1][2] El País also reports that Carliz de la Cruz, Bad Bunny's former partner, is pursuing $40 million over the phrase “Bad Bunny, baby,” which she says appears in Pa' Ti and Dos mil 16 without authorization.[1][9] The legal fight has turned into a broader debate about consent, compensation, and who benefits when voices become part of reggaeton's signature sound.[2][3] At the same time, local Puerto Rican outlets are focused on what may be coming next on the live side. El Nuevo Día reported on August 10 that construction activity and stage-style mounting at the Hiram Bithorn Stadium fueled rumors that Bad Bunny could use the venue for a final run of DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour dates.[11] TeleOnce and other local coverage say Rimas Entertainment has reserved August 21 to 23 at the stadium, while San Juan mayor Miguel Romero has suggested an announcement could be imminent, though nothing has been officially confirmed by the artist's team.[10][11][18] Social media chatter has also surged around Bad Bunny's public image. Metro Puerto Rico reported that a Bad Bunny wax figure debuted at the Grévin Museum in Paris, adding another pop-culture marker to his global profile.[5] The same report noted renewed online attention after a White House TikTok used his song LA MuDANZA in a deportation-related video, then later lost the audio, a move that drew heavy reaction online.[5] There is also a steady stream of recognition for his influence beyond music. EFE reported that a collective exhibition in San Juan will open on August 20 with 32 artists exploring Bad Bunny's artistic and social impact.[17] That follows weeks of coverage around the scale of his tour success and his continuing visibility in sports and entertainment media, including WWE-related praise and interview mentions from artists like Brray.[6][12] For listeners, the current picture is clear: Bad Bunny is not just dominating music headlines, he is also shaping legal arguments, social media debate, and Puerto Rico's cultural agenda all at once.

Sci-Fi Subgenres: Space Opera + Temporal Sci-Fi Immortals wielding paracausal magic fight a war against a cosmic dark fleet, jumping through wormholes that cause massive time dilation. A knight returns to humanity's last city to find a thousand years have passed and the city is now worshiping the very darkness he fights. He must carve through the corrupted fanatical guards to destroy the false idol at the city's heart.

Sci-Fi Subgenres: Urban Horror / First Responder / Illegal LaboratoryResponding to a reported chemical fire at an unmarked warehouse in a dense industrial park, a veteran firefighter breaches the building to find no flames, but rather rows of surgical chairs occupied by unhoused people who have been mechanically grafted to bizarre, nonhuman metallic components. The bio-tech contractors running the illegal black-budget lab attempt to trap the fire crew inside the burning sterile room to destroy the evidence. As the experimental machinery stitched into the victims activates, the firefighter must use his heavy breaching tools to break his squad out of the fortified facility.

Most apparel companies don't have a demand problem. They have a lead time problem. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, hosts Scott W. Luton and Scot Case welcome Maithili Shenoy, Founder and CEO of La Naia Collective, for a frank, frameworks-forward look at why the global apparel operating model is cracking under its own weight and what it would actually take to rebuild it. From the Multifiber Agreement's unraveling in 2005 to the speed at which TikTok now dictates what sells, Maithili draws a clear line between the world the industry was built for and the one it's operating in today. She breaks down why long lead times convert forecast error into stranded inventory, how the markdown machine erodes billions in gross margin dollars annually, and why the financial damage runs deeper than most balance sheets reveal. Scot adds a sustainability lens that sharpens the conversation, connecting the landfills of Ghana's Kantamanto Market to the same structural misalignments driving poor financial returns. The conversation builds into Maithili's 4S architecture: Strategize, Segment, Structure, Sustain, and the regenerative loop that ties them together. Real-world examples ground every layer: Inditex running 57.8% gross margins with inventory costs half the industry average, Abercrombie & Fitch going from 1% to 15% operating margins by abandoning markdown dependency, and why companies still anchored to gross margin rate alone are running out of runway. If you're trying to understand why so many smart people keep making decisions that produce irrational collective outcomes and what a better model actually looks like, this conversation earns its time. Jump into the conversation: (00:00) Intro (02:19) Meet Maithili Shenoy (03:47) From classical dance to global supply chains (06:28) Career experiences that shaped her perspective (09:23) The hidden cost of apparel overproduction (13:06) Why today's apparel operating model is broken (14:23) How globalization changed fashion supply chains (19:56) Why costs keep rising across the industry (21:30) The biggest flaws in the current operating model (23:55) Four ways the current model destroys value (29:14) Introducing the 4S architecture (30:10) Strategize with the right business metrics (33:09) Segment products by demand and speed (37:50) Align incentives with business outcomes (40:41) Building a model that can adapt over time (45:02) The metrics every apparel leader should track (49:57) What Zara, Abercrombie, and Ralph Lauren do differently (55:47) Why apparel returns are becoming more expensive (01:01:06) Predictions for the future of apparel retail Additional Links & Resources: Connect with Maithili Shenoy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maithili-shenoy/ Learn more about La Naia Collective: https://www.lanaiacollective.com/ Connect with Scot Case: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scotcase/ Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/about Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

What if forgiveness isn't about letting someone else off the hook, but about finally setting yourself free? In this episode of Light Body Radio, Dr. Lara May welcomes intuitive coach, speaker, author, and founder of Angel Goddess Healing, Shannon Curtis, for a powerful conversation about trauma, forgiveness, intuition, inner-child healing, and reclaiming your personal power. Shannon shares her own healing journey and explains how releasing trauma and confronting painful experiences helped her reconnect with her intuition and spiritual gifts. Together, Dr. Lara May and Shannon explore why forgiveness is often misunderstood and how true forgiveness can become a deeply personal practice of releasing pain, shame, and the stories that no longer serve us. They also discuss an important distinction that can be transformative for anyone on a healing journey: forgiveness does not mean forgetting, excusing someone's actions, or allowing them back into your life. You can forgive someone while still maintaining boundaries and choosing how much access they have to you. This episode offers a compassionate perspective on what it means to heal from the past, reconnect with your authentic self, trust your intuition, and reclaim the power that trauma may have taken away. If you're ready to release what you've been carrying and create more space for healing, self-trust, and personal transformation, this conversation is for you. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026.

Sci-Fi Subgenres: Exploration Sci-Fi + Corporate Dystopia A freelance cargo captain takes a highly lucrative, off-the-books contract to tow a derelict research vessel back to corporate space. Once tethered, the ship's bizarre architecture begins bleeding over into his freighter, twisting bulkheads into meat and bone. He has to sever the towing cables manually from the exterior while dodging his own mutated crew members.

Sci-Fi Subgenres: Deep Space Horror / Cosmic Sci-FiA technician is part of a remote crew tasked with jump-starting an ancient transit ring discovered beneath Pluto's ice. When they activate it, they discover that the other side is a heavily fortified airlock filled with the corpses of earlier civilizations that tried to barricade the gate from the outside.

Sci-Fi Subgenres: Medical Horror / Alien EscapeA rural hospital emergency room is suddenly locked down by heavily armed Department of Homeland Security agents who wheel in a critically injured, heavily sedated, distinctly nonhuman survivor pulled from a recent highway transport crash. The federal agents order the terrified, under-equipped rural doctor at gunpoint to perform emergency vascular surgery on the creature to extract an embedded tracking device. During the operation, the creature awakens, its acidic blood dissolving the surgical restraints, and it begins methodically hunting the hospital staff through the darkened, locked-down wards.

From rising diesel prices and geopolitical instability to new defense sourcing requirements and rapid advances in artificial intelligence, procurement and supply chain leaders are navigating a business environment where the traditional playbook no longer works. In this episode of The Buzz, powered by Toyota Automated Logistics, hosts Scott Luton and Allison Giddens welcome James Meads, founder of Entrepreneurial Procurement, for a timely discussion on the forces reshaping procurement and global supply chains. The conversation explores major investments in domestic manufacturing, the growing tension between lean inventory and supply chain resilience, and the ripple effects of diesel shortages and commodity inflation. The panel also examines new Pentagon sourcing and traceability policies, including the challenges of reducing dependence on critical materials from countries such as China and Russia. James explains why procurement teams must move beyond a process-driven, support-function mindset and begin operating more like entrepreneurial business partners. He also shares practical AI applications that can eliminate repetitive work, improve research, and help procurement professionals focus on higher-value decisions without automating broken processes or relying on poor data. Key Takeaways: Why companies such as GE Aerospace and General Motors are investing heavily in domestic production, supplier resilience, and access to critical components How geopolitical instability is forcing businesses to reconsider just-in-time inventory strategies and qualify additional suppliers Why higher diesel prices can create widespread inflation across transportation, agriculture, manufacturing, and consumer goods The opportunities and risks associated with new defense sourcing, supply chain mapping, and material traceability requirements Why procurement leaders must advocate for investment, communicate their value, and adopt a stronger ownership mindset Practical AI use cases that can reduce manual work in procurement, including data entry, supplier research, category strategies, RFPs, and RFQs Why technology cannot successfully orchestrate broken processes or unreliable data How procurement teams can choose technology based on specific business problems instead of getting distracted by product demos and industry hype Procurement is no longer simply about controlling costs or processing transactions. It has become a critical source of resilience, innovation, risk management, and competitive advantage. Tune in to hear practical guidance on building stronger supplier strategies, selecting technology that solves real problems, and preparing your organization for a more uncertain and fast-moving global business environment.

But what exactly is democratic socialism and why is it so attractive to so many people, particularly young people, today? Listen as Darrell Harrison and Virgil "Omaha" Walker exposit the core tenets of democratic socialism and discuss through the lens of the Word of God why democratic socialism is more than a dangerous economic theory but is actually worse, it is a false gospel offering a false salvation.ResourcesDemocratic Socialists of America websiteYoung Democratic Socialists of America websitePublic Education - The Just Thinking podcastVictimhood Culture - The Just Thinking podcastSupportTo support the podcast, please click here or copy/paste the following link into your browser — https://justthinking.me/support/Disclaimer© Darrell B.

The annual release of a major industry index always sparks intense debate, but the true value lies in the core strategies driving the world's top performers. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton is joined by regular co-host Mike Griswold, Vice President Analyst at Gartner, and special guest Laura Rainier, Senior Director Analyst at Gartner, to break down the defining macro trends from the Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 for 2026. The panel explores how leading organizations navigate global volatility by moving past tech experimentation to deliver true enterprise value. They dive into the realities of the autonomous workforce era, detailing how top-tier supply chains prioritize human-machine collaboration and systems thinking over simple digital literacy. Highlighting standout examples like Unilever's shared forecasting and Schneider Electric's disciplined process optimization, the discussion illustrates what it takes to build a resilient, network-centric operation. Laura Rainier also addresses critics directly, explaining why qualitative community opinion remains the ultimate "secret sauce" for capturing true excellence, while Mike Griswold wraps up by challenging leaders to leverage the supply chain as a primary engine for strategic growth.    Jump into the conversation: (00:00) Introduction (00:44) Gartner's 2026 Top 25 preview (02:23) Meet Gartner analyst Laura Rainier (04:46) Laura's future supply chain research (07:28) Three supply chain macro trends (11:26) Network-centric strategies and orchestration (15:46) Top 25 companies leading change (21:41) Fix processes before deploying AI (24:30) What defines a Supply Chain Master (26:49) Why leaders invest in people (27:34) How Supply Chain Masters stay ahead (29:07) New and returning Top 25 companies (31:09) How companies earn their return (34:03) Why Schneider Electric ranks first (40:34) Walmart's rise and retail momentum (42:41) Why community opinion matters (47:38) 2027 ESG methodology changes (48:25) Gartner events and upcoming summits   Additional Links & Resources: Connect with Mike Griswold: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-griswold-6a68922/ Connect with Laura Rainier: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-rainier-9087857/ Learn more about Gartner: https://www.gartner.com/ Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/about Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

Most supply chain discussions get bogged down in hype and theoretical buzzwords. In this episode, they get stripped back to reality. In this debut episode of The Collective on Supply Chain Now, a powerhouse panel of battle-proven commerce veterans comes together to dive deep into the forces currently reshaping the global trade landscape. The panel features Kim Reuter (Chief Advisor and Leader at CSG Consulting), Derreck Travers, Jack Mowreader (Founder & Principal at Ascendant Business Solutions), and Kerry Gibson-Morris (VP of Global Sourcing & Product Development at BDA, LLC).  Drawing on their extensive experience building foundational programs at Amazon and scaling operations across air cargo, trucking, luxury retail, and finance, the team breaks down the critical shifts in modern supply chain management and where the industry is heading next. Kerry kicks off the conversation with a frank look at AI in smart sourcing, warning against the trap of treating technology as a total labor replacement rather than a strategic amplifier. She emphasizes the critical need for "checking the checker," maintaining strict data hygiene, and exercising executive oversight to avoid costly operational mistakes. Jack pivots the focus to the financial volatility of modern trade, breaking down how rapid tariff changes, shifting de minimis policies, and shorter planning cycles are forcing companies to abandon hyper-lean "just-in-time" models in favor of strategic safety stock and bonded warehousing. Finally, Derreck unpacks the massive wave of industry consolidation, highlighting CMA CGM's acquisition of FedEx's supply chain unit, and analyzes why M&A deals often fail to deliver customer value, drive up costs, and open doors for nimble market disruptors. If you're looking for an unvarnished, real-world breakdown of where supply chain, leadership, and modern trade are actually heading, this conversation earns its time.   Jump into the conversation: (00:00) Intro (02:44) Introducing The Collective (05:15) AI and smart sourcing (11:22) Checking the checker: Data integrity & oversight (14:39) The financial risks of AI (17:08) Tech hype vs. system architecture (21:06) Tariff volatility and financial risks (27:36) Domino effects in alternative sourcing markets (28:47) Re-evaluating just-in-time inventory (32:46) Foreign trade zones and bonded warehousing (34:16) Carrier consolidation (CMA CGM & FedEx) (38:19) What industry consolidation means for e-commerce (49:53) Looking ahead: agentic commerce Additional Links & Resources: Connect with Kim Reuter: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberly-reuter-csg/ Learn more about CSG Consulting: https://www.clarityscalegrowth.com/ Connect with Derreck Travers: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrecktravers/ Connect with Jack Mowreader: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jmowreader/ Learn more about Ascendant Business Solutions: Connect with Kerry Gibson-Morris: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerry-gibson-morris-179453/ Learn more about BDA, LLC: https://www.bdainc.com Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/about Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

Think meditation means clearing your mind or stopping your thoughts? Think again. In this Wellness Illuminated episode of Light Body Radio, Dr. Lara May challenges one of the biggest misconceptions about meditation and reveals why it's one of the most practical, science-backed tools for improving brain health, regulating the nervous system, and cultivating resilience. Through the perspectives of neuroscience, functional medicine, life coaching, and spirituality, Dr. Lara explains that meditation isn't about thinking less—it's about changing your relationship with your thoughts. When we learn to observe rather than react, we create the conditions for healing, clarity, emotional balance, and intentional living. Whether you've tried meditation before and felt like you "failed," or you've never known where to begin, this episode will help you see meditation through an entirely new lens and understand why every high-performing woman can benefit from a consistent practice. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026.

Global supply chains are facing no shortage of complexity from shifting tariffs and changing consumer behavior to rapid advances in artificial intelligence. But having more technology and data does not automatically create a more resilient operation. What matters is how leaders interpret that information and turn it into action. In this episode of The Buzz, powered by Zebra Technologies, host Scott Luton is joined by guest co-host David Shillingford and Shannon Vaillancourt, founder and president of RateLinx. Together, they explore the latest developments affecting global trade, grocery spending, freight operations, supply chain resilience, and AI adoption. The conversation examines why resilience is ultimately a leadership challenge, how poor data can undermine even the most advanced technology, and where human judgment remains essential as organizations automate more decisions. Key Takeaways Why increased tariffs create additional complexity and uncertainty for global trade and supply chain teams How consumer spending pressures, food waste, inflation, and changing purchasing habits may be influencing grocery sales Why supply chain resilience requires action, not simply visibility, risk documentation, or additional technology How experienced leaders use patterns, information, and anticipation to make stronger decisions Why AI often exposes existing data-quality problems rather than creating new ones Which routine supply chain tasks are best suited for AI and where human oversight remains critical How technology can eliminate repetitive work and help teams focus on higher-value decisions Why conversations, collaboration, and real-world experience remain powerful sources of supply chain insight Supply chain leaders do not need more information for information's sake—they need the ability to recognize patterns, evaluate risks, and act with confidence. Tune in to hear practical perspectives on using AI responsibly, strengthening operational resilience, improving decision-making, and preparing your organization for the next disruption.

In this video, Brandy shares powerful insights to help you heal chronic pain heal yourself from chronic pain and illness. Also, if you'd like to go deeper, there is a free Free Mind-body Healing training deep dive training you can access here. https://brandygillmore.com/mind-body-training If you've been doing everything you can to heal but still feel stuck, this episode explores a powerful shift that could help you begin creating change in a new way. Brandy shares a pivotal insight from her own healing journey that later helped a volunteer named Sheridan experience a remarkable breakthrough after struggling with chronic pain and emotional hurt for decades. After more than 20 years of personal development work, Sheridan was deeply committed to healing, yet she estimated she spent approximately 90% of her time in bed due to severe physical pain. During their session, Brandy helped her begin working with her mind differently, leading Sheridan to reduce her reported pain from a level eight to a level three. In this episode, Brandy explains: One pivotal insight that may help make self-healing feel easier Why trying harder is not always what creates a different result What helped Sheridan begin shifting after decades of personal development Why the way you work with your mind matters What fascinating mind-body research can reveal about rapid change How one counterintuitive shift may change what feels possible This episode is not about ignoring painful experiences, suppressing emotions, or pretending the past didn't happen. Instead, it offers a deeper understanding of how the mind works so you can begin approaching healing in a way that supports greater progress, transformation, and lasting change. Sometimes, one new insight can completely change the way you approach self-healing—and open the door to what's truly possible.

Freight rates have entered a new phase, and the signals pointing to it have been hiding in plain sight for anyone willing to look past the headlines and into the data. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton is joined by Jake Barr, Chris Caplice, Chief Scientist at DAT Freight & Analytics, and Bobby Holland, Vice President/Director of Freight Business Analytics at U.S. Bank, to dig into the newly launched U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index Rates Edition, a joint report combining U.S. Bank's $46 billion in annual freight payment processing with DAT's database of more than a trillion in freight market transactions. Chris breaks down why this tightening cycle isn't the surprise so many transportation executives believe it to be, explaining how capacity, not demand, is the real driver this time around, fueled by driver shortages, tighter regulations, and unprecedented data center build-out. Bobby brings the numbers to life, showing how spot rate movement has historically preceded shifts in contract rates and why shippers should treat that signal as an early warning system rather than an afterthought. The conversation lands on what shippers can actually do about it: stress-testing budgets, segmenting freight into dedicated, contract, and dynamic buckets, and using data to answer the question every CFO eventually asks, is it me, or is it the market? Jake closes with a blunt prediction for the shipper side and a challenge to turn the last few years of smooth sailing into real, productive reinvestment.

Enterprise technology has long promised to unlock operational potential, but the trade-offs between monolithic ERP systems and fragmented best-of-breed stacks continue to slow organizations down in ways most leaders don't fully account for. In this episode of Enterprise Unleashed on Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton and Wiley Jones (Co-founder at DOSS) are joined by Jindra Zitek (Partner and Head of Scale at Stripes), a former McKinsey consultant and C-level operator whose career spans Chobani, HelloFresh, and a range of board and advisory roles across industry. Together, they unpack what it actually takes to build operations that are truly AI-ready, and why the answer starts with people long before it reaches technology. Jindra draws on firsthand experience leading through hypergrowth and crisis to make the case that both ERP consolidation and best-of-breed ecosystems carry a hidden coordination tax, one that only gets more expensive the longer organizations avoid naming it. He challenges leaders to stop framing AI as a job automation tool and start treating it as a lever for dignity and purpose, giving people the ability to focus on the work that actually requires human judgment. The conversation lands on what separates organizations that experiment successfully from those stuck in pilot purgatory: shared business objectives, cross-functional coalitions, and guardrails that free people to move fast without losing control. Wiley grounds the discussion in what Doss is seeing in practice, where the complexity of edge cases is finally collapsing, and where the real work of comprehension still cannot be skipped.
