Shoot us a Text.Episode #1286: Scout Motors discovers that American truck buyers want a generator backup with their electrons, Flexcar bets big on Atlanta's appetite for flexible wheels, and UPS makes the largest buyout offer in company history as it braces for life after Amazon.Scout Motors set out to be a pure EV brand, but the market had other plans. Of 160,000 reservations for the Terra pickup and Traveler SUV, 87% of buyers chose the EREV version — blowing past CEO Scott Keogh's expected 60/40 split.The EREV pairs a ~63 kWh battery with a four-cylinder generator for roughly 500 miles of total range, compared to about 350 for the BEV — and Scout will launch the EREV version first given the demand, with pricing starting below $60,000.Scout isn't alone in this pivot: Ford, Ram, and Jeep all have EREVs arriving this year, making range-extenders the de facto off-road electrification strategy in the U.S.The brand's direct-to-consumer model is drawing legal fire from VW's existing dealer networkFlexcar, the subscription-based leasing company, is expanding its footprint in Atlanta.The company's model offers drivers a middle ground between leasing, renting and owning. The model lets customers pay one monthly fee covering insurance, maintenance, roadside assistance and registration—often with no long-term contract and the option to swap vehicles as needs changeThey are now expanding its Atlanta footprint with two new locations in Marietta and Morrow, adding more than 25,000 square feet of retail and lot space.The company says Atlanta members have already logged over 150 million miles in Flexcar vehicles, making it one of the platform's fastest-growing markets.Flexcar offers 200+ vehicle options locally, including popular models like the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Nissan Altima and Volvo XC60.UPS just made the largest buyout offer in company history — sending voluntary severance packages worth $150,000 to more than 100,000 van drivers. It's the latest move in a major restructuring plan centered around one uncomfortable truth: Amazon, UPS's biggest customer, is becoming its biggest competitor.UPS announced plans to cut Amazon's package volume by 50% over 18 months, citing Amazon as "not our most profitable customer." Its margin, per CEO Carol Tomé, is "very dilutive to the US domestic business."As one supply chain professor put it: "Just because they lose Amazon doesn't mean there's nobody else out there. There's stuff to move, and there's warehouses that need to be filled."Today's show is brought to you by iPacket Value.

As general president of the union, Sean O'Brien has operated with a "Teamsters vs. Everybody" mentality, especially when it comes to dealing with President Trump and embracing the MAGA right. But now, 14 months into the second Trump administration, the labor movement and the entire working class—Teamsters members included—is under attack. In this episode of Working People, we speak with veteran Teamsters Richard Hooker Jr. and John Palmer, who are running to oust O'Brien from leadership in the upcoming union election. Guests: Richard Hooker Jr. has dedicated 26 years to the Teamsters, spending 20 of those years at UPS and the last six in leadership roles. He is the Secretary-Treasurer and Principal Officer of Teamsters Local 623 in Philadelphia, and he is now running on the Fearless Slate to unseat Sean O'Brien as a candidate for general president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. John Palmer has 38 years of experience in the Teamsters and is currently serving as a vice president at large of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. He is running on the Fearless Slate as a candidate to be the union's general secretary-treasurer.

The dust has settled on Q4 and full-year 2025, and the numbers tell a fascinating story about the future of how we buy, ship, and sell. From Amazon's record-breaking AWS growth to Walmart laying down the gauntlet, we are diving deep into the ripple effects these giants are creating across the entire ecosystem.In this episode, Rick Watson breaks down the split personalities of Meta, the agentic jump ball between Shopify and Stripe, and why UPS finds itself in an incredibly tight spot between Amazon and union contracts. Whether you're a David moving fast or a Goliath trying to transform, these are the trends you cannot afford to ignore.Inside the BriefingAmazon's AI & Grocery Bet: Online stores are a $278 billion business. While physical retail has struggled, Amazon is doubling down on Whole Foods with a 20% increase in store count. Meanwhile, they are pouring $200 billion into capital expenditure, primarily for data centers and chips to fuel their AI driver.The Walmart Juggernaut: Walmart is executing at an elite level, with 60% of stores now using automated freight and 50% of e-commerce shipments being automated. Their membership and ads business has scaled significantly, reaching one-third of Amazon's operating profit.The Shopify/Stripe Power Couple: Shopify saw a 30% revenue increase to $11.5 billion. Their B2B sector is a hidden gem, growing 96%. Notably, 64 cents of every dollar in Shopify's merchant services business goes to their partner, Stripe.Meta's $83 Billion Gamble: Meta's advertising business remains highly profitable with a 30% operating margin, but the Reality Labs division has lost $83 billion to date. Mark Zuckerberg is betting that smart glasses will be a cognitive necessity within five years.UPS & PayPal in Transition: UPS is facing a massive volume decline as Amazon moves a million parcels a day away from their network. PayPal is currently described as a ship without a rudder, with rumors circulating that the company—or its crown jewel, Venmo—could be headed for a sale.The biggest risk right now isn't being small; it's being a giant that cannot move. If you're an underdog, use your speed to your advantage because you can move faster than the incumbents.Check out the full newsletter and more insights at: www.watsonweekly.com.Huge thanks to our sponsors:Avalara: The gold standard in tax and compliance solutions.Kasama: A premier software integrator and agency.Chapters:IntroductionAmazon commentaryMeta commentaryShopify commentaryPayPal commentaryUPS commentaryWalmart commentary#watsonweekly #webinar #amazon #meta #shopify #paypal #ups #walmart

Seit dem 8. Januar war hier Funkstille. Kein Drama, kein großes Konzept – wir sind einfach im ganz normalen ADHS-Zeitstrudel verloren gegangen. Irgendwo zwischen „Diese Woche nehmen wir auf“ und „Ups, welcher Monat ist eigentlich?“ waren plötzlich ein paar Monate vorbei.Jetzt sind wir wieder da. Ohne konkretes Thema, aber mit einem überraschend guten Gespräch, ehrlichen Abschweifungen und genau dem Chaos, das halt zu uns gehört.Wir geloben Besserung. Mit Reminder. Vielleicht sogar mehreren.Schön, dass ihr noch da seid. Und falls nicht – wir verstehen es. Aber kommt bitte zurück.

In March 2013, thirty-year-old Joanne Dennehy went on a violent ten-day rampage in the UK - murdering three men and severely wounding two others in vicious and random attacks. She had a driver and a hostage - YES, A HOSTAGE - as witnesses. She received a "whole life sentence" for her crimes, being only the fifth woman in the history of the country to receive such a punishment. So WHAT ON EARTH drove her to commit these crimes? And what explains her extremely bizarre behavior once she was arrested? We're....not really sure. But we're gonna scream our way through this one, and we'd love for you to join us.Find and watch "Manhunt: Joanne Dennehy" on Amazon PrimeWE'RE ON YOUTUBE - Want to view the episodes and not just listen?  Check our new video feed to see full video episodes starting today.

What if one of the the missing pieces in your fertility journey isn't another item "to-do" but a deeper understanding of your own body?If you're doing all the things—tracking, testing, supplementing, pushing through IVF cycles—yet still feeling disconnected, inflamed, anxious, or exhausted… you might be overlooking the foundation: how your body digests, absorbs, and feels safe enough to create life.Because fertility isn't just numbers and lab results. It's vitality.In this powerful conversation with Ayurvedic practitioner Madison, we demystify Ayurveda—the 5,000-year-old “science of life”—and explore how reconnecting to your body's natural rhythms can transform not just your fertility, but your entire relationship with yourself.Ayurveda teaches that we are made of the same elements as nature—earth, water, fire, air, and space—and that true balance comes from honoring your unique self.  When digestion is strong, your nervous system feels safe, and your body is nourished at a cellular level, reproductive health becomes supported naturally.We dive into concepts like prana (life force), why reproductive tissue is the last tissue to be nourished, and why it's not just what you eat—but how you digest—that matters most.If you've been operating in survival mode, this episode will gently invite you back into alignment.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:What Ayurveda really is—and why it's called the “knowledge of life”How your unique dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) impacts your hormones and fertilityWhy digestion is the foundation of egg, sperm, and uterine healthHow increasing prana (life force) can support conscious conception and preconception preparationFertility begins with vitality—and when you learn to nourish your body in alignment with its nature, you don't just prepare for pregnancy… you come back to life yourself.Madison's Bio: Madison is an Ayurvedic Doctor, Functional Hormone Specialist, and Fertility Educator, as well as a longtime teacher of yoga and meditation. She helps women and couples prepare for pregnancy by balancing hormones, optimizing digestion, and creating the physical, emotional, and energetic conditions for new life to thrive.FREEBIEFree Ayurvedic Fertility Type Test -- Take the Fertility Type Test to uncover why your energy, digestion, and cycle symptoms are early clues about your future fertility—and how to work with your body's natural rhythms to attract a healthy pregnancy.https://subscribepage.io/fertilitytypetestCONNECT with Lisa & get IVF COACHING SUPPORT Download IVF Mindset Shift Guide https://ivfmanifestingamiracle.myflodesk.com BOOK a complimentary DISCOVERY CALL BOOK: ‘HOLD ON, BABY!

In 1877, Cornelius Vanderbilt died as the richest man in America — worth $105 million (over $2 billion today). Less than 50 years later, at a Vanderbilt family reunion, not a single millionaire remained.The Rockefellers? Still one of the most powerful family dynasties on the planet.Same era. Same kind of entrepreneurial wealth. Completely different outcomes.So what did the Rockefellers know that the Vanderbilts didn't?It wasn't how they made money. It was how they kept it.In this episode of The Wealth Warehouse Podcast, David Befort and Paul Fugere break down one of the most foundational wealth-building lessons you'll ever hear — and most people will never learn it because they're too busy spending what they earn.Here's the hard truth: "The worst thing you could possibly do is that money that you work, you sweat, you bleed for — don't spend it."The Vanderbilts liquidated everything. They spent. They built mansions. They became socialites. They had a great time — for about two generations. Then it was gone.The Rockefellers? They built trusts. They used permanent life insurance. They practiced a simple but powerful principle: borrow against your money, don't spend it. Buy. Borrow. Die. The loan gets repaid by the death benefit. The wealth stays in the family. Forever.And here's the part that might change the way you think about every dollar in your pocket right now:You don't have to be a Rockefeller to use the Rockefeller method.Dave and Paul walk you through exactly how this works in the real world — with real clients making real decisions right now:A military pilot and UPS aviator who understood this principle immediately and structured his policy to buy his next home without ever spending his own cashA client sitting on $50,000 who's wrestling with whether to use it as a down payment — and why Dave says that could be one of the most expensive decisions he ever makesWhy Paul is pulling equity out of his own home and flowing it into a system where he controls it — not the bank, not the walls of a house, not a 401k he can't touch without penalty"If you have enough cash to solve a problem, you don't have a problem."Most people think they only have two choices with their money: save it or spend it. Dave and Paul flip that completely on its head.Your dollar is already working in more than one place at a time. Banks are using it. Hedge funds are using it. The DTC is leveraging your 401k shares while you're not looking. The question is — are you getting the benefit of that, or is someone else?The Infinite Banking Concept teaches you how to stop being the Vanderbilts and start thinking like the Rockefellers. How to run your capital through your own system first — so it compounds, uninterrupted, for the rest of your life — and then leverage it for whatever you were going to spend it on anyway."Would you rather have a dollar doing one thing at a time for you — or multiple things?"Yeah. That's what we thought.One family asked: "How can I enjoy this?" The other asked: "How can we never lose this?"One built a lifestyle. One built a legacy.And here's the thing — a legacy creates a pretty nice lifestyle too. You just have to build it first.Whether or not whole life insurance is your vehicle, the principle is the same: never interrupt the compounding of your money. Use the life insurance company's money, the bank's money, someone else's money — to do the things you were going to do anyway. Stop writing checks from your own pocket and start controlling both sides of the banking equation.The Vanderbilts didn't have a system. They didn't have constraints. They didn't have a trustee making sure the money was used for something productive. They had parties and mansions and a great run for about 50 years.Don't be the Vanderbilts.

THIS IS A WORT-FM PLEDGE WEEK EDITION.

In this episode, recorded live at AHR Expo 2026, Bryan sits down with Louise from UEi (United Electronics Inc.) for an in-depth conversation about one of the most underestimated dangers in the HVAC trade: carbon monoxide. Rather than treating CO as just another checkmark on a safety list, Bryan and Louise dive into the full history of the gas — all the way back to early publications from 1922 and 1923 that were already studying the effects of low-level CO exposure. One of the most fascinating takeaways from their discussion is just how long the industry has known about the dangers of carbon monoxide, yet how frequently it remains misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and overlooked on the job site. Louise breaks down the science behind CO poisoning in a way that is both accessible and eye-opening. Unlike high-level acute poisoning — where symptoms are immediately obvious — low-level, chronic carbon monoxide exposure is an entirely different beast. It can mimic the flu, chronic headaches, early-onset Alzheimer's, and even heart attack symptoms. Because CO is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, it is notoriously difficult to diagnose, and victims often have no idea what is causing their illness. Compounding the problem is the cumulative nature of CO toxicity: the gas builds up in the bloodstream over time and can linger in the body for days, months, or even years after exposure ends. Bryan draws an entertaining but sobering historical connection between the prevalence of carbon monoxide poisoning during the Victorian era — when gas lamps were common inside homes — and the widespread reports of ghost sightings, fugue states, fainting spells, and the spiritualist movement of the time. It was almost certainly CO poisoning, not the paranormal. The conversation then shifts to practical, on-the-job guidance for technicians and contractors. Bryan and Louise walk through the proper process for combustion analysis: starting your analyzer outside in fresh air, identifying test ports on furnaces, boilers, and water heaters, and understanding what readings at steady state actually mean. They emphasize that CO production is not limited to furnaces alone — ranges, ovens, dryers, fireplaces, water heaters, and even propane-powered forklifts are all legitimate sources. One of the most critical points they make is that carbon monoxide hazards are often intermittent and condition-dependent. A system can appear to be working perfectly during one visit and be producing dangerous levels the next time a door is closed or a vent is accidentally blocked. Visual inspection, awareness of combustion air sourcing, and thoughtful analysis are just as important as having the right instruments. On the product side, Louise introduces two exciting new offerings from UEI. The first is the UEI Clip, a compact personal CO detector that clips onto a bag, belt, or lanyard, activates automatically at 20 ppm, and is designed as a set-it-and-forget-it safety device with a two-year sealed battery lifespan. Priced under $100, it is an affordable way to outfit an entire team with a baseline layer of personal protection. The second highlight is the new High Accuracy Clamp Meter (HAC), a commemorative product celebrating the United States' 250th anniversary. This meter excels at wattage measurement — particularly with low-draw ECM blower motors where most meters fall short — and Bluetooth integration with MeasureQuick is on the horizon. Louise also walks through UEI's revamped combustion analyzer recertification program, UEI Service Plus, which offers same-day turnaround on standard recertifications at their Indianapolis facility, extended warranties with each annual service, and transparent, upfront pricing directly on their website. Topics Covered The history of carbon monoxide research dating back to publications from 1922 and 1923, and a 1923 patent for a hot water heater that sparked a friendly debate between Bryan and Louise about terminology. How low-level, chronic CO exposure is underdiagnosed and can mimic conditions like the flu, chronic headaches, early-onset Alzheimer's, and heart attack symptoms — and why CO builds up cumulatively in the bloodstream. The fascinating historical theory connecting widespread Victorian-era reports of ghosts, fugue states, and fainting spells to chronic carbon monoxide poisoning from indoor gas lamps. CO safety thresholds: residential standard (9 ppm), World Health Organization guideline (4 ppm), first responder evacuation threshold (35 ppm), and how UL-rated home alarms may not trigger until 70 ppm sustained for 1–4 hours. Sources of CO that technicians often overlook, including ovens, ranges, dryers, fireplaces, water heaters, propane forklifts, generators, and vehicles idling near garages. Proper combustion analysis procedure: starting the analyzer outside in ambient air, identifying or installing test ports, running tests at steady state, and interpreting O2, CO, and stack temperature readings. Industry CO standards for furnaces: official standard (400 ppm), HRI recommendation (200 ppm), industry best practice (100 ppm), and modern high-efficiency benchmarks (50 ppm or less). How combustion air sourcing — and changes to it (new roofs, blocked vents, swapped doors) — is one of the most commonly missed risk factors for CO production. Why even "heat pump markets" like Florida still need combustion analysis, since over 90% of homes have at least one fuel-fired appliance. Introduction of the UEi Clip personal CO detector: set-and-forget, activates at 20 ppm, sealed 2-year battery, priced under $100, and its unexpected popularity among refrigeration technicians. Introduction of the UEi High Accuracy Clamp Meter (HAC) commemorative edition: exceptional accuracy at low current draws (ideal for ECM blower motors), full accessory kit included, and upcoming measureQuick Bluetooth integration. UEi's Service+ combustion analyzer recertification program: same-day turnaround at their Indianapolis lab, extended warranty with each annual service, prepaid UPS shipping labels, and transparent pricing on their website.

Key Takeaways: An Insider's Guide to Small Parcel Shipping In "An Insider's Guide to Small Parcel Shipping", Joe Lynch and Glenn Gooding, Founder of Gooding Supply Chain Advisors and host of the Chain of Command podcast, discuss strategies to navigate today's complex multi-carrier landscape and reduce costs through data-driven optimization. The "Cube-Out" Revolution: Small parcel shipping has shifted from "weighing out" (hitting weight limits) to "cubing out" (filling volume). Because ecommerce packages are often light and bulky, Dimensional (DIM) Weight pricing is now the primary driver of cost. If over 50% of your shipments are billed at DIM weight rather than actual weight, your packaging is unoptimized. The End of the UPS/FedEx Binary: The days of choosing only between UPS and FedEx are over. The 2026 market may require a multi-carrier strategy that includes super-regionals (like OnTrac), postal aggregators, and gig-economy delivery services. Technology now allows shippers to "agnostically" choose the best carrier for every individual package. Zone Skipping for High-Volume Shippers: For subscription boxes or high-density shippers, Zone Skipping is a game-changer. By consolidating orders and trucking them closer to the final destination before handing them off to a local carrier hub, you can bypass expensive long-haul zones and significantly reduce shipping costs. 3PLs Must Evolve Beyond "Rate Reselling": Third-party logistics (3PL) providers are often viewed skeptically by carriers who think they just "cannibalize" margins. To succeed, 3PLs must bring value back to the carrier by providing "efficient" freight—better packaging, lower average zones, and high-density induction—rather than just asking for deeper discounts. The "Opaque" Reality of Rate Increases: General Rate Increases (GRIs) are often marketing numbers. A "5.9% increase" might actually cost a specific shipper 8% or 10% depending on their specific profile (e.g., lightweight vs. heavy, residential vs. commercial). You must analyze activity-based costing to understand how surcharges and accessorials impact your specific bottom line. Shipping as a Branding Tool: Transportation can represent up to 20% of an ecommerce company's expenses. However, the delivery experience is the "final mile" of customer service. High-growth brands are using AI-curated buying experiences coupled with transparent delivery choices (speed vs. cost) to drive customer lifetime value. Mastering the Cold Chain: Shipping perishable or temperature-sensitive goods (like fresh meals or frozen treats) requires a "surgical" induction plan. Success depends on using refrigerated truckload moves to specific hubs on specific days to ensure products never sit in a warehouse over a weekend, which would otherwise destroy product integrity.

Tell me the problem in three words. Well, hey there. Welcome back. The “Favorite Three” Listening Game Today I want to talk to you about something that was a communication tool and kind of a game. And it all centers around the number three. When my kids were younger, I used to play a game with them in the car. And the game was Favorite Three. And it was such a natural hit that we would use it at parties.. And it really is kind of a not only a cool icebreaker, but it’s sort of a demonstrator of how well people listen. It’s a game you can play with your staff and in meetings, too. If you have a staff meeting and you’re waiting, you can play Favorite Three. It kind of sharpens your mind a little bit in the process, too. So, here’s how this works. Favorite three basically means you pick your three favorite things. Someone asks you your favorite three things. I mean you can say what’s your favorite dog breed? What’s your favorite Italian food? And what is your favorite state? You go around the room and people answer. They don’t say well my favorite state is… No. In the order that they were asked they need to answer. Usually, there’s a long pause while people’s gears are turning. Seriously, try this. So, the person asking the question names the person who needs to answer and they start and go around in a circle. Many times people actually forget and they’ll say, “Well, wait, what was the second one?” It’s literally three things that you have to remember, but for some reason, for some people, it’s actually quite hard to keep track. So in the example that I just said, the next person would say hopefully husky pizza Colorado and then it would go to the next person and so forth. And those people are devoid of context. They just know the answers of the person in front of them. all the amazing things that we do in life, all the things that we can work through, reading entire novels and keeping track of screenplays and and all the complexities of your job, you may actually have difficulty with that. So, play it at your next event and tell me how it goes. Using Three Words for Conflict Resolution So, here’s the other thing centering around the number three. This helps in conflict resolution. And again, this is something that I used with my kids when there’s a conflict or when they had a conflict and there was a lot of back and forth. As you can imagine, there’s a lot of two people talking over each other and screaming and emotions and things like that. I would pick one to start and I would say, “Tell me the problem in three words.” That was it. And then the other person would go and tell me the problem in three words. And it’s really easy to figure out which person is stuck in their emotions and which person is just trying to convey a point. And it’s all because of the three words that they choose. And this is something you can do in your relationship. I mean, if you’ve been married 20 years, you can still do this and say, you know, tell me in three words. Now, people don’t like to have their communication filtered, adjusted, or controlled. So, it may be difficult for some personality types, especially in the heat of the moment, if you tell them, “No, you’re not allowed to communicate to me in sentences. You need to tell me that in three words.” So, use carefully and wisely. But even in your job, if you need to do conflict resolution, this may be really eye opening and you think, “Mark, they’re just going to take three verbs.” No, they’re really not. You’ll be shocked at which words they choose, especially the first time. And when they sort of get the gist of it, they’ll choose better words. They’ll say, “Ah, okay, I need to clarify.” M. And it’s that focus on the cerebral act of clarifying which allows for the emotions to leak out to go away because the focus is on communicating now instead of you know sarcasm or taking a shot at the other person and so forth. You don’t have the room for it. You literally have three words to use and don’t waste them. People aren’t going to use he is idiot. they’re going to choose other things. Okay? A Real-World HR Example: Manager vs. Creative And again, you may be thinking, “Well, this is kind of rudimentary, Mark.” No, it really is a different way to get your brains to communicate. Let me give you an example. Imagine you have a manager and someone who’s uh creative underneath them, someone who’s producing something and there’s there’s a conflict and there’s always a conflict between them and you don’t understand because they both for the most part are are fairly stellar in in their work and the work ethic, but you have them in your office because you’re the HR person and you get the creative to tell you what the problem is and the creative starts to go on and on and on about stuff and personalities and you go, “No, no, no, give me the three words.” And the creative thinks for a second and says work, frustration, recognition. Doesn’t that tell you a lot? Doesn’t that tell you a lot in just three words? The person is frustrated because their work isn’t recognized. They They’re not asking for a raise necessarily. They’re not even saying anything negative about their manager, but they’re frustrated because they work really hard. And so let’s say in this hypothetical situation, the manager goes, “Wow.” Because the manager probably didn’t even realize that, but he now has to answer himself and he thinks for a moment and he says, “And uh hours um uh documentation deadline.” And so when he may be asked to expand on that, it’s that the person under him isn’t really documenting their work. So it’s kind of hard to recognize what’s gone in on the back end. And perhaps that person also isn’t great about tracking their hours, which again makes it frustrating for the manager to say, “Well, I I don’t know how much time or effort you spent on this. I I don’t I don’t know.” Now, as an aside, this is usually a disconnection between the departments, departments like, you know, like sales and the people who actually accomplish the things the salespeople are selling or managers and creatives and all that stuff. Sometimes there’s a disconnection that really shouldn’t be there because they should have a better grounded understanding of what’s involved to create the product, whether it’s a a service or whether it’s a a tangible item. So that’s an aside. But do you see how forcing a minimum of words can make a huge difference in a conversation? How Word Scarcity Forces Clarity And I am sure that in the annals of HR and and and employee relations, there are tons of things like this. But I’m just telling you from a personal standpoint, I have used this and it’s been really amazing. In fact, I’ve used it on myself as I do with many things that I have tried to get myself to be concise about using just three words and three is really a cool number. It’s more than two and you know what? It’s less than four. So, right then out of the gate, it’s it’s a good number. So, my challenge for you would be to first of all see if you can facilitate conversation like this in a conflict. And again, if you if there are any bruises involved, I I I’m giving you a warning that if someone has really high emotions, this may not be the best thing to use at first. But it also may be good as a tool for you in a case where you are just sort of feeling kind of strung out and and frustrated and you don’t know where your head is on certain things. Now, you could use my UPS method and see the episode on UPS, but with this in mind, you can actually just use the three words to force yourself to just say, “Okay, I need to express this in three words.” And it’s pretty cool because typically one of the words is going to reflect a feeling, one is going to be an action, one might be a state of being, but you’re not going to get three words that basically mean the same because they’re so precious. And you’re going to choose you or they are going to choose words that really convey a lot of meaning or power because again scarcity creates this sort of thing. And you know when it comes to words and language and talking there’s not a lot of scarcity there. I myself force scarcity in this podcast. And that’s why we only have a minute left because I won’t let myself go over 10 for the most part. So, play the two games of three and let me know what the outcome is. I’d love to know the situation. Was it personal? Was it with your kids? Was it HR related? Was it business related? Did it actually help you to express yourself even in marketing materials in which you have a marketing material and you’re like, you know, there’s paragraphs here. This is too much. And I I want to inject this. There’s a very specific rule about presentations, PowerPoint, and so forth that people regularly break, and that is keep the text to a minimum, but people typically have paragraphs and and whole books up on the screen where just three words would make a big difference. Outro So, please try this out and let me know. And as always, I appreciate you listening. Take care.

A poor UPS driver was attacked while making deliveries and it was all captured on video. We'll play the audio for you next and explain why it's hilarious.

In this episode, the hosts discuss various topics related to the delivery industry, including the challenges faced by drivers due to weather conditions, the recent UPS buyout program, and the ongoing legal battles between UPS and the Teamsters. They also touch on Olympic sports highlights and share personal anecdotes about their experiences as delivery drivers. The conversation emphasizes the importance of knowledge and awareness in navigating the complexities of the job, especially in light of management tactics aimed at discipline and performance monitoring. Join the Patreon Family Join our Discord TAKEAWAYS: Knowledge is power when it comes to our job. The UPS buyout program is a significant change for drivers. Weather conditions can greatly impact delivery routes. Olympic sports can bring excitement and national pride. Management tactics are increasingly focused on discipline and performance monitoring.

The data center industry is racing into the AI era with bigger campuses, tighter timelines, and unprecedented infrastructure complexity. But in this episode of The Data Center Frontier Show Podcast, 7x24 Exchange International founding member and Mission Critical Global Alliance (MCGA) board member Dennis Cronin argues the industry's biggest constraint may be the one it talks about least: people. Cronin's message is direct: the “talent cliff” isn't coming; it's already here. Based on recent research into open roles, he estimates 467,000 to 498,000 openings in core data center positions (facilities and ops leadership, electrical, generator/UPS, HVAC, controls), plus another ~514,000 emerging roles tied to AI infrastructure, sustainability, and cyber-physical security—bringing the total to roughly one million jobs the industry needs to fill. A major driver is what Cronin calls the “five-year experience trap”: employers require five years of experience even for entry-level roles, but newcomers can't get experience without being hired. The result is widespread talent poaching, involving workers jumping from site to site for 10–20% raises, without expanding the overall labor pool. Cronin also highlights a frequently missed reality in public policy debates: the job multiplier effect. While data centers may have lean direct staffing, they support a much larger ecosystem of contractors, service providers, and manufacturers, from generator and UPS technicians to security integrators and the electrical/mechanical supply chain, many of whom are already scrambling to hire. On training, Cronin explains why company-run programs and commercial training aren't enough on their own. Internal academies often produce siloed specialists trained for a single operator's environment, while commercial courses, often ~$1,000 per day per person, are typically designed to upskill people already in the industry, not onboard new entrants. MCGA's strategy focuses on community colleges as the most scalable on-ramp: affordable programs, scholarships, and hands-on labs that can produce strong technicians in two-year degrees. Cronin cites programs at Cleveland Community College (NC), Northern Virginia Community College, and Southside Community College (VA), noting that dozens of schools are exploring data center curricula but funding remains a barrier. Cronin's proposed solution is a true workforce ecosystem: outreach, standardized curriculum, certification labs, structured apprenticeships, and employer commitments. He also advocates replacing the “five years” requirement with an entry-level certification that proves foundational knowledge, i.e. acronyms and language, reading one-lines, SOPs/MOPs, and crucially, safety and situational awareness in electrical and mechanical environments. Finally, Cronin tackles the money question. With $60B in data centers announced this year, he says the industry needs a major, shared investment across operators, vendors, contractors, and manufacturers to fund training and scholarships at scale. The stakes are operational: in an era of gigawatt AI facilities and shrinking margins for error, workforce readiness is now a mission-critical issue.

In this episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, hosts Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent break down a volatile week in global logistics where political shifts and cartel violence are fundamentally redrawing the map of North American trade. The discussion centers on the "green gold" wars at the border, exploring a high-stakes reality where cross-border freight has shifted from a capacity challenge to a survival mission. Following the killing of a major cartel boss, violence along U.S.-Mexico freight corridors has surged, prompting shelter-in-place orders for U.S. citizens and a spike in cargo theft. Adding to the complexity, the hosts analyze the economic ripples of President Trump's new 10% global tariff, implemented in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that blocked emergency trade powers. Shifting focus from the border to the facility, Justin Malone, Director of Field Safety at The Miner Corporation, joins the show to highlight why the loading dock—rather than the open highway—is often the most dangerous part of an operation. Malone breaks down the "handoff" moment where communication between drivers and facilities frequently fails, leading to life-threatening risks. He dives deep into the phenomenon of "trailer creep," explaining why this silent killer occurs and how basic safety tools like wheel chocks and dock locks are often dangerously ignored or misused. The conversation then turns toward the financial core of logistics technology with Matthew Everson, SVP of Sales & Marketing at IntelliTrans. Everson challenges the industry's current obsession with visibility, arguing that tracking dashboards can become "money pits" if they aren't balanced against carrier economics. He asserts that the true financial center of gravity for shippers lies in carrier performance and selection, focusing on the specific KPIs that actually drive profitability. Amidst this tech-heavy discussion, Everson also notes Nashville's rise as a critical emerging hub for both logistics and technology. The episode rounds out with a look at major industry headlines, starting with a judge's approval of $150,000 UPS driver buyouts. The hosts debate whether this move signals a strategic labor reset or serves as a warning sign for the broader industry. Finally, the team covers the immediate logistical impact of a massive winter blizzard that has ground container terminals to a halt at major Northeast ports, adding further strain to an already pressured supply chain. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

Send a textEver plan a tidy theme and watch real life kick the door in? That's the ride today, and it's a good one. We open with Love Your Pet Day, a 7:07 adrenaline wake-up, and the delicate art of salvaging a morning when the dog, the kids, and the treadmill all conspire against your plans. From there we careen into a viral classic: a UPS driver outmaneuvering wild turkeys, narrating his escape with pure comedic honesty. It's ridiculous and revealing—about work, grit, and laughing when the internet is watching.Money enters the chat with grocery store price rankings, including why Whole Foods sits high, warehouse clubs sit low, and how Target occasionally sneaks in with cheaper pantry staples. We trade practical takeaways on unit prices, store vibes, and buying only what you'll actually use. Pop culture stirs the pot: Chapel Roan's Grammys look and the strange allure of prosthetics for shock value, followed by a debate on American Girl's shift toward modernized classics. We ask what made those dolls powerful in the first place—context, history, and questions that teach kids how to think, not just dress up.Connection threads it all together. New NYC supper clubs sell tickets to home-cooked dinners for strangers craving offline conversation, a post-COVID solution that feels both brave and bizarre. Our highs and lows bring the human scale back: a 126-pound Wayfair box with wrong instructions, a neighbor named Karen who saves the day, a teen's simple “you're a really good mom,” and a DJ friend who composes the perfect event playlist in minutes. It's messy, funny, and full of those small moments that keep the big stuff moving.Hit play for laughter, real talk, and a reminder that the best plot twists often show up when the outline doesn't.

Supply chain technology adoption is shifting from pilots to measurable gains in productivity and margins. In this episode of the Talking Transports podcast, Bloomberg Intelligence’s Lee Klaskow shares conversations from the floor of Manifest conference in Las Vegas, where innovation — not freight volumes — dominated. Vendors spotlighted AI agents for less-than-truckload workflows, robotics for e-commerce packaging, autonomous trucking, corrugate solutions to cut waste and reverse-logistics platforms to speed up resale readiness. C.H. Robinson cited 95% automation of LTL missed pickups, while robotics firm Ultra targets a $2–$3 billion packaging automation opportunity. Last-mile startup GoFo is challenging FedEx and UPS with lower-cost DSP models, while autonomous trucking firm Bot Auto is prioritizing cost-per-mile economics before scaling.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Congrats, You’re Promoted—Now What? The champagne has been poured, the desk is clean, and the new title looks incredible on your email signature. But then Monday morning hits, and the terrifying reality sets in: the skills that got you the job are not the skills that will help you keep it. In an instant, you've been promoted from being “one of the team” to the one responsible for the team's success, their failures, and their future. This week on A New Direction, we're cutting through the corporate fluff to talk about the messy, emotional, and high-stakes transition of the “new leader.” We are joined by the legendary Noel Massie, author of the essential guide Congrats! You've Been Promoted! Noel knows that a promotion is a double-edged sword; it's a reward for your past, but it's a relentless demand on your future. He brings a raw, authentic look at the “promotion trap”—the moment where many high-achievers fail because they try to manage people the same way they managed tasks. This isn’t just a business interview; it's a survival guide for your career's most pivotal moment. The shift from “me” to “we” is the hardest psychological hurdle any professional will ever face. Noel breaks down the internal architecture of a leader, showing you how to navigate the loneliness of the top floor and the pressure of being the person with all the answers (even when you're still figuring them out). We dive into why your technical expertise is now your biggest liability and why your “soft skills” are now your only hard currency. If you've ever felt like an imposter in your own office or worried that your promotion might be the ceiling of your potential, this episode is your wake-up call. Coach Jay and Noel Massie are handing you the keys to the executive suite—not just to get you through the door, but to ensure you own the room. Stop playing small in your big new role; it's time to stop managing and start leading. Noel Massie’s book, “Congrats! You’ve Been Promoted: An Essential Guide for Helping New Leaders and Their Teams Succeed” is one of the most practical, insightful, leadership books that is filled with wisdom for leaders you will use right now! Noel, takes his decades of experience and the lessons he learned and applied along his journey in UPS.  This is not your ordinary leadership book.  It is not theory; it is practical guidance in how to handle real world situations with your employees. The fact is, when we get promoted to any leadership position it is easy for us to have our ego get in the way.  Noel takes us through understanding that while you may be a leader you carry the responsibility for all your employees.  Every behavior, on or off the clock matters.  You are being evaluated by your employees by every action and every word. And the only person that is responsible for how you act and talk is you! While many books are written for the CEO this is written to anyone who has just been promoted to a leadership position. If you want to truly lead people who want to follow you, support you, and be champions for you, Congrats! You’ve Been Promoted is an absolute must read! Get Your Copy by clicking here!

Malcolm kicks off the show with a look at current headlines, including UPS's optimization plan to close 22 sortation centers and the FMCSA's crackdown on CDL non-compliance in Illinois. The segment also highlights rising cargo theft data, noting that California and Texas accounted for 58% of US incidents in 2025. Headlines are followed up with two great interviews. Robert Nathan, Co-founder and CEO of Envoy AI, shares insights from his 20-year career that began in the warehouse and led to building a top-50 freight brokerage. He emphasizes the need for a shift toward human-centric technology, specifically building “carrier copilots” that empower the individual user rather than just the enterprise. Nathan also highlights the reality of systemic margin compression, advising brokerages to prepare for a future where they must operate profitably at margins as low as 7%. Following Nathan, Chris Torrence, Chief Strategy Officer at MapUp, brings a perspective shaped by military logistics and over 25 years in the industry. Torrence argues against the “pressure cooker” mentality of transactional sales, advocating instead for the cultivation of “reputation capital” and long-term relationships. He stresses the importance of personal branding and authenticity, noting that while technology can always be replicated, the trust built through genuine human connection remains the ultimate differentiator in a crowded market. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

A new report reveals that California and Texas accounted for more than half of all U.S. cargo theft incidents last year, with electronics remaining a top target for criminals. Thieves are increasingly utilizing deceptive pickup tactics to steal loads, a trend experts warn is expected to accelerate through 2026. The massive merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern faces another delay as the railroads plan to refile their application with federal regulators later this spring. This postponement comes amidst growing political pressure and concerns from state attorneys general that the deal could stifle competition and raise prices. Shipping giant UPS is moving forward with its restructuring plans by identifying 22 package facilities for closure as it seeks to automate operations and cut costs. The company is also facing legal challenges from the Teamsters Union over its attempt to offer voluntary buyouts to thousands of drivers.
