POPULARITY
Rated #1 for the past three years on Forbes annual list of companies with the “Best Customer Service” – a list formed by surveying 158,000 customers over a period of 12 months – The UPS Store has consistently proven an authentic and thoughtful commitment to the improvement of all things most valuable to their customers. And, as you know by listening to the Nordy Pod, improving Customer Service is the top priority for Nordstrom. So, in an attempt to further that pursuit, we felt strongly that Sarah Casalan, President of UPS Stores – a leader who has established and maintained a level of customer service that is considered to be "the best" across all industries – would have more than a few nuggets of wisdom to aid us in our journey. As presumed, insights were gained, and notes were taken. Sarah herself actually has an impressive background in retail, and coincidentally shares a handful of mutual acquaintances with Pete. But the gap between her past and her current role in the world of shipping, printing, and supply chain is not as vast as you might think. In her own words, “we get to serve a profoundly human population in any way”. In their conversation, Pete and Sarah talk about the incredible importance of simplifying your business, innovating from within, and meeting the customer on their terms. Selling clothes or delivering packages, the path to success looks the same: It's all about making customers feel good. Thanks for tuning in to episode 111. We hope you enjoy it!

“Subscribe to free weekly news letter HUNGRY FRIDAY FEAST” here” "Hospitality happens for people, not to them." In this masterclass of an episode, Unreasonable Hospitality author Will Guidara sits down with Dan Pope on the Hungry podcast to unpack the magic behind Eleven Madison Park's meteoric rise to the best restaurant in the world. From leaving a full bottle of cognac with the bill, to systemizing serendipity with Tiffany & Co. engagement flutes, Will explains why true excellence requires a healthy dose of unreasonableness. They dive into the tension between perfection and human connection, the power of a 'Red Team' in creative brainstorming, and how to apply Michelin-star hospitality to any industry—even a UPS store.ON THE MENU:00:00:00 Intro00:01:01 Excellence vs. Hospitality00:03:49 The Fueling Power of Praise & Criticism00:13:20 Redefining Hospitality in Any Industry00:18:18 Creativity: Inviting People Into Your Imagination00:22:11 The UPS Store & Chewy: Systemizing Magic00:35:45 The Cognac Check Drop at Eleven Madison Park00:44:10 Scheduling Creativity & Collaboration00:49:07 Moving to Nashville & Embracing Messiness00:58:27 Reading the Room: One Size Fits One01:06:48 Systemized Magic: The Tiffany Engagement Flutes01:08:32 The Miles Davis Approach to Restaurants01:18:13 The NoMad Chicken & The Red Team01:28:59 Customer Recovery as Your Best Marketing01:32:36 Seth Godin's Girl Scout Cookie Advice01:35:35 Danny Meyer & The Power of Language01:46:34 Do Not Ruin a Story With the Facts01:53:08 The Art of Gathering & Designing Events02:00:11 Savannah Bananas: Changing the Rules02:11:03 The Peak-End Rule & Letting Go of Control02:22:35 Confidence, Ego, & Meeting Your Heroes02:30:49 AI in Hospitality: Copilot, Not Autopilot ============================================== ♨️Still bloody HUNGRY?

This episode of The Rizzuto Show starts with what might genuinely be one of the greatest confidence scams ever attempted: a French professor allegedly invents an entire prestigious academic award, buys himself a medal, gathers actual respected intellectuals, and somehow convinces everyone he's basically the LeBron James of language studies. Honestly? Kind of inspirational. The gang immediately realizes that most awards are basically made up anyway, which quickly escalates into creating fake international honors like “The Grand Cross of the Order of the Toasted Ravioli.” Because if you say anything confidently enough with enough gold trim attached to it, people will apparently clap.From there, the show takes a hard left directly into psychological warfare after King Scott introduces one of the most cursed “Would You Rather?” questions in show history: permanent Cheeto fingers… or taste buds in your butt. Yes. Really. The discussion somehow gets worse when Rafe introduces the horrifying concept of “the second tasting,” permanently ruining food, digestion, and probably several listeners' lunch breaks. It's the kind of conversation that could only happen on a daily comedy show powered entirely by sleep deprivation, bad decisions, and unchecked access to microphones.Rafe's E-Memoriam segment also delivers pure chaos this week. The crew says goodbye to Ask Jeeves, the once-beloved internet butler who politely helped people search embarrassing questions before Google became the all-knowing digital overlord living inside everyone's phones. The nostalgia spiral includes Geocities, LimeWire, Rotten Dot Com, terrible internet decisions, and the realization that the early internet somehow survived entirely on flashing skull gifs and confusion.Meanwhile, Rafe continues his quest toward honorary membership in the Blackfoot Nation, which now involves fingerprinting, Canadian bureaucracy, Wayne Gretzky references, and an unexpectedly spiritual trip to a UPS Store kiosk. What should have been a simple government process becomes an epic fantasy journey involving sacred scanners, sweaty palms, and “Hakuna Moscato” novelty packing tape. It's impossible to explain properly because this daily comedy show exists in a dimension where every normal story mutates into folklore by segment three.The episode wraps with real RIPs including Alex Ligertwood from Santana and media giant Ted Turner, proving The Rizzuto Show can somehow balance heartfelt moments alongside conversations about whether your butthole could identify ranch seasoning.If you love comedy podcasts, funny stories, weird news, sarcastic humor, pop culture commentary, St. Louis radio chaos, and hearing grown adults emotionally unravel in real time, this episode delivers everything you could possibly want from a daily comedy show… and several things you absolutely did not ask for.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
You know it's gonna be a weird day when the show opens with Rizz realizing his daughter's cheer banquet wasn't “folding chairs and sheet cake” but instead a full-on country club gala requiring a suit, tie, speeches, awards, emotional endurance, and apparently enough rubber chicken to bankrupt a catering company. Nothing says “supportive father” like sitting through four straight hours of banquet politics while pretending not to judge the speeches in your head.From there, the gang dives straight into the viral Busch Stadium incident where fans had to physically stop a guy from potentially falling from the upper deck. The discussion somehow turns into a complete breakdown of dangerous stadium seating, ballpark netting, drunk fan physics, and why Moon believes geese and gravity are America's greatest threats. Which honestly? Fair.Speaking of geese… apparently St. Louis now belongs to them. The crew discusses the annual return of Canada geese nesting season, why those feathered psychopaths become hyper-aggressive this time of year, and how entire college campuses basically surrender to goose gangs every spring. There's talk of fake coyotes, migratory bird treaties, goose chases, and the emotional humiliation of running from an animal that looks like it pays taxes.And because this is somehow still not enough chaos for one funny podcast, the conversation shifts to Yellowstone bear attacks, Mother's Day pressure, and the discovery that Father's Day is mostly just a yearly reminder of unresolved family trauma. Rafe perfectly explains why Father's Day social media posts always feel like passive-aggressive therapy sessions while Mother's Day gets treated like a national holiday requiring military-level planning.Meanwhile, King Scott prepares for his first Mother's Day with a pregnant wife, Moon contemplates fleeing town entirely to avoid gift expectations, and Rizz introduces “The Ralph Rule,” which may or may not destroy families nationwide. Add in deadbeat parents losing passports over unpaid child support, brunch recommendations turning into food obsession, and several near-death stories involving stadium upper decks, and you've got another completely normal day for The Rizzuto Show.This funny podcast continues doing what it does best: mixing weird news, sports chaos, parenting struggles, sarcastic commentary, celebrity-level overreactions, and St. Louis nonsense into one giant comedy blender. Whether you're here for the goose warfare, the Busch Stadium insanity, or the emotional collapse surrounding Mother's Day reservations, this episode delivers the exact kind of daily comedy disaster fans expect from The Rizzuto Show.The internet woke up in full panic mode after Instagram launched a massive bot purge that vaporized millions of followers from celebrities, influencers, and probably your cousin who suddenly became a “fitness entrepreneur” during the pandemic. Kylie Jenner lost 14 million followers in a blink, and suddenly everybody online started acting like follower counts never mattered anyway. Sure, Jan.The gang dives into the chaos of fake followers disappearing, why advertisers are finally cracking down, and how even normal accounts can tell when the bots get exterminated. It's basically robot Hunger Games happening quietly in the background of social media while everybody keeps posting blurry vacation photos and motivational quotes stolen from Pinterest.Then somehow the conversation turns into Angry Birds officially entering the Video Game Hall of Fame. Yes. Angry Birds. The little phone game that destroyed productivity in offices across America is now standing next to gaming legends like Doom and Oregon Trail. The crew debates what games deserve Hall of Fame status, why Guitar Hero absolutely got robbed, and how Tony Hawk's Pro Skater soundtracks basically raised an entire generation of emotionally confused skateboard kids.There's also a deep dive into concert experiences at the Sphere in Las Vegas, including No Doubt, Metallica, Tool, and the realization that Tool might actually be the perfect Sphere band because nobody in Tool has ever looked interested in being on stage anyway. The visual effects do the heavy lifting while the audience collectively melts into a psychedelic lava lamp.Moon talks about how video games became one of the biggest discovery tools for music, including stories about Story of the Year songs unexpectedly blowing up after landing in racing games and MLB titles. If you ever found your favorite band because you crashed fake cars in Need for Speed, congratulations — you were part of history.This might genuinely be one of the greatest confidence scams ever attempted: a French professor allegedly invents an entire prestigious academic award, buys himself a medal, gathers actual respected intellectuals, and somehow convinces everyone he's basically the LeBron James of language studies. Honestly? Kind of inspirational. The gang immediately realizes that most awards are basically made up anyway, which quickly escalates into creating fake international honors like “The Grand Cross of the Order of the Toasted Ravioli.” Because if you say anything confidently enough with enough gold trim attached to it, people will apparently clap.From there, the show takes a hard left directly into psychological warfare after King Scott introduces one of the most cursed “Would You Rather?” questions in show history: permanent Cheeto fingers… or taste buds in your butt.

The Rizzuto Show is back with another completely normal and emotionally stable episode of your favorite daily comedy show, which means things immediately spiral into chaos before anyone finishes their coffee.Rizz kicks things off feeling invincible after a testosterone shot and approximately nine seconds of exercise, which somehow leads directly into one of the greatest public freakout videos we've seen in a while: a woman with tinnitus confronting a guy revving his matte black Corvette at a gas station… by kicking the car. Not yelling first. Not walking away. Straight to assaulting a $125,000 Corvette while repeatedly screaming “DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?” like an angry GPS system. The gang breaks down every second of the interaction, including the surprising Silverado reveal and why Corvette owners apparently all dress like retired dads at a county fair.Then Rafe officially enters his truck era after buying a Tacoma and discovering the true burden of pickup ownership: everyone now expects him to help move furniture forever. We hear all about his movers, his wildly generous tipping strategy, his battle with dryer cords, and why Facebook Marketplace nearly destroyed his sanity. Somehow bedding and duvet discussions sneak in there too because this daily comedy show never misses an opportunity to derail itself.Things get even stranger when Rafe explains the process of getting FBI fingerprinted at a UPS Store in order to continue his mission of legally entering Canada. Nothing says “secure government procedure” quite like giving your biometric identity next to a display of bubble mailers and packing peanuts. The crew debates whether Canada should trust him, whether UPS should have everyone's fingerprints, and whether any of this sounds remotely real.Then the episode takes a darker turn with a truly disturbing story involving body donation gone horribly wrong. A family believed their loved one's remains were being used for Alzheimer's research… only to discover the body had allegedly been sold to the military for explosive testing. The conversation becomes unexpectedly thoughtful, emotional, and existential before immediately swerving back into ridiculousness because emotional stability is not part of this program.Also in this episode:A pizza delivery driver allegedly trying to run over a customer over a missing tipA school resource officer losing a gun in a bathroomA daycare worker tattooing a toddlerBland Missouri's legendary “Half Ass Bar”Why side-by-sides are basically rural luxury vehiclesFuneral plans, body farms, and questionable life choicesIt's weird news, sarcastic commentary, St. Louis nonsense, and absolute nonsense from start to finish — exactly what you'd expect from a daily comedy show hosted by people who probably shouldn't be trusted with microphones this early in the morning.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
SUMMARY: Paul finds a way to prop up his podcasting laptop without using a book. While going to the UPS Store, Matt discovers that he's a closeted nerd. In Scoop Mail, we consider names for an HR consulting business. Plus, Paul cooks, Matt explains a joke, and a quote-laden Scoopardy.
I open the show by explaining WHEN outgoing mail gets its postmark dates. It's handled by a machine called the Advanced Facer Canceler System. Then I get into how that machine actually works. Finally, I answer a question from the mailbag about Commercial Mail Receiving Agencies (like the UPS Store), and what we're supposed to do with their mail. This episode kind of gets into the weeds, and that's exactly where Classes of Mail likes to be!

Episode Notes S6E9 -- Join us as we sit down with the one and only Rico Anderson. He'll be in the house telling tales from S.W.A.T to Get Gone and beyond. As an award winning actor, a sci fi nerd, the oldest of 11 children on his mothers side (6 biological / 5 adopted) and the 3rd of 4 children on his fathers side, Rico was born in Seaside/Monterey, CA and raised on the south side of Chicago as well as the San Francisco Bay Area. It was in Chicago where Rico's love for the arts began. As a little boy, his 3rd grade class went to a touring performance of The Wiz, starring Stephanie Mills. Even at that early age, Rico sat there mesmerized and amazed at the performances. Memories from that performance stuck in the back of his mind and would not surface until a few years later when his family moved to Berkeley, California. The bug bit again and Rico started performing in several plays and Independent films. Rico also majored in Theatre Arts at San Francisco State University. Eventually, Rico moved to Los Angeles and has been blessed to have many film, television, voice over and theatre credits to his name.

Instant shipping is the new norm that continues to fuel America's Amazon era shopping addictions. Approximately 350 billion packages shipped last year—projected to hit 500 billion worldwide by 2028. And in this brave new tech. enabled shopping revolution, consumers have moved beyond asking ‘what day' will my package arrive to expecting real-time tracking with exact arrival times and proof of delivery. With FedEx and UPS enabling these trends, we took a look under the hood to see how UPS is empowering consumers and businesses in the digital age. With 500,000 employees in 200 countries that delivered $91 billion in revenue last year, UPS thinks about all the aspects of shipping services from ordering and delivery, to deep logistics, analytics, and predicting potential returns. The UPS Store® is the world's largest franchisor of retail shipping and business service centers, with over 5,500 locations catering to the small-office/home-office market, gig-economy workers, corporate road warriors, and consumers. Like Walgreens, Starbucks and CVS, you can find a store within 10 miles of 85% of the U.S. population. Driving their growth is President Sarah Casalan Bittle, who is with us for this episode of the Reboot Chronicles to unpack what makes her people successful, the importance of collaborative partnerships, and how her near fatal heart-attack made her a more remarkable leader.

Tyler Watson joined LinkedIn 11 years ago as a 21-year-old shoe store manager seeking a "real" career. Initially using the platform for research, he connected with executives and learned from their paths. Three years ago, he began sharing his personal story—dropping out of high school, becoming a father at 16, battling addiction, and overcoming jail and job losses. This transparency transformed his professional interactions, leading to richer conversations and new opportunities. Tyler's experience spans roles such as SVP of Sales at Dan-O's Seasoning, where he transitioned the company from a DTC startup to a disruptive challenger brand, Vice President of Sales at The UPS Store, and City Commissioner for Moorland, Kentucky. His journey from washing dishes to thriving in retail management and eventually becoming a sales leader highlights his resilience and dedication to continuous self-improvement. Tyler is now focused on building disruptive brands and inspiring others with his story. Dan-O's Seasoning, based in Louisville, Kentucky, is revolutionizing the spice industry with its low-sodium, zero-calorie seasoning blends made from all-natural ingredients like garlic, onion, lemon and orange peel, rosemary, and sea salt. Founded by spice guru Dan Oliver, Dan-O's has quickly become the fastest-growing seasoning brand in the US. The seasonings are vegan-friendly, Keto-friendly, and low in carbs, making them versatile for use on protein, vegetables, carbs, herb-rich dressings, and marinades. The brand's journey began in 2017 at state fairs and flea markets, where Oliver's persistence and the memorable compliment from a customer—"this is Dan good"—ignited his innovative approach to marketing. Today, Dan-O's is celebrated for its flavor-packed blends that use only the finest herbs and spices, embodying Oliver's high energy, creativity, and determination.

Shannan Bogle - UPS Store Madison, Wisconsin On Variety Being the Spice of Life: "You never do the same thing twice. And that's what I loved about it was you were always doing something different whether somebody was walking in to have you shipping a book for them and then the next person was having you fax for them, and the next person had an Amazon return. So the variety of it is what caught me." Retail businesses still exist, and the UPS Store franchisees have been growing as people will always need to send something from one place to another. But Shannan Bogle of the UPS Store in Madison, Wisconsin lets us know that her store does so much more than shipping. After decades in this business, she has an incredible amount to share. Shannan will also tap into the versatility required to manage a UPS store, from printing services to Amazon returns, shedding light on the highs and lows that come with balancing corporate mandates and the independence of franchise ownership. We'll explore the current business climate's pressures, the impact of the pandemic, and the shift to remote work, as well as the local community dynamics over her 26 years of operation. She delves into each facet of business ownership, retail business ownership, and the ways entrepreneurs can make moves to grow their business. Listen as Shannan explains not only her world, but a broader way of looking at business and finding the gold buried within every business. Enjoy!

Just because there's not enough product in my store James [00:00:11]: Oh. Shannan Bogle [00:00:11]: That would pay off the loan. And since it's all knowledge based, they're like if you get hit by a bus tomorrow, we can't recoup.

Opening his own lab in his garage and a lot of hard work, Edgar is now the owner of Elite Dental Studios (https://www.elitedentalstudiousa.com/). Partnering with Noritake (https://www.kuraraynoritake.com/world/)to teach ceramics, Edgar comes on to talk about his tale and the lessons he has learned along the way.

There are only two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi left, Star Wars movie and tv speculation, and more! Here's what happens: Tom Cruise is crushing it. A trip to Saga Toys was involved in this week's Who Got What. Is the UPS Store gonna have to choke someone out? Taika Waititi talks about where's he's at with his Star Wars movie. Some cinemas in Canada will apparently be showing the entire season of Obi-Wan Kenobi as an event with some sort of panel as well. That'll be neat, eh? S01E04 of Obi-Wan Kenobi had some Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order vibes to it. Also, the acting was great in this one! We almost made it through without talking about Elden Ring. Almost. WE HAVE MERCH!
