In "Eliminating EDI Headaches: Managed Integration vs. Ticket Queues", Joe Lynch speaks with Co-Founder and Leader of Atadex, Mitch Bernet, about how fully managed EDI and API integrations eliminate operational bottlenecks, speed up customer onboarding, and drive supply chain profitability. About Mitch Bernet Mitch Bernet is the Co-Founder and Leader of Atadex, bringing decades of supply chain expertise and executive leadership to the role. Raised in Cleveland, Ohio, he earned a degree from Providence College, an MBA in Finance from Creighton University, and launched his career at Union Pacific Railroad before taking senior management roles at Conrail, APL Logistics, and Hub Group. A seasoned entrepreneur, he went on to found Integra Logistics in 2003 and co-found Coyote Logistics in 2008—growing the Atlanta-based business through its eventual acquisition by UPS—before taking a brief hiatus and returning to the industry to co-found Atadex. Married to Rosanna for 35 years, he is the proud father of two children, Matthew and Katherine, who graduated from Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia, respectively. About Atadex Atadex is a full-service EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and API integration provider exclusively focused on the supply chain and logistics industry. The company was founded to deliver fully managed, fast, low-cost data integration—handling everything end to end so clients don't need in-house EDI expertise and positioning itself as an alternative to legacy EDI vendors, self-serve platforms, and traditional professional services. Atadex connects any TMS or WMS (including Blue Yonder, Trimble, Manhattan, Turvo, Shipwell, TAI, and McLeod) to any trading partner, supporting all major formats (X12, EDIFACT, API, XML, CSV, JSON) and transaction types. The company processes over 50 million messages per month and has completed more than 5,000 go-lives, pairing each client with a dedicated, US-based account manager. Its goal is to fundamentally change how data integration is managed and serviced, helping clients improve productivity, performance, and profitability. Target customers include carriers and 3PLs with complex partner networks, warehouses and 4PLs seeking a fully outsourced EDI department, and TMS/WMS providers wanting to offer integration without building their own delivery teams. Atadex also offers AssetMaps (fleet consolidation) and Freight Board Central (freight board integration). Key Takeaways: Eliminating EDI Headaches: Managed Integration vs. Ticket Queues In "Eliminating EDI Headaches: Managed Integration vs. Ticket Queues", Joe Lynch speaks with Co-Founder and Leader of Atadex, Mitch Bernet, about how fully managed EDI and API integrations eliminate operational bottlenecks, speed up customer onboarding, and drive supply chain profitability. EDI as a Profitability Driver, Not Just an IT Task: Data integration directly impacts the bottom line by eliminating manual data entry, reducing human error, and allowing logistics staff to manage up to 25% more volume per person without adding head count. Overcoming System Incompatibility via "Universal Translation": Supply chain tech remains heavily fragmented between legacy systems (like mainframes or EDI X12) and modern RESTful APIs. Atadex acts as a universal translator, mapping and converting any data format into whatever spec a trading partner requires. Speed to Integration Equals Speed to Revenue: Onboarding delays can stall new customer relationships for months and destroy projected margins. Rapid implementation and proactive partner coordination directly protect customer retention and protect sales commissions. Fully Managed Service vs. Anonymous Ticket Queues: Logistics operates on extreme urgency where every minor issue feels like a major emergency. Relying on dedicated, domain-expert project managers who proactively catch failed transmissions beats putting in tickets with traditional tech providers. Decoupling Customer Support from Technical Engineering: Mirroring the operational structure pioneer Jeff Silver used at Coyote Logistics, separating client-facing project managers from back-end technical mappers ensures seamless communication and higher overall customer satisfaction. Transparent Pricing Over Complex VAN Fees: Traditional EDI value-added networks (VANs) often obscure costs behind per-kilo-character charges. Simplifying billing to clear, per-message rates provides total transparency so companies can calculate precise integration costs per trading partner. Practical AI Integration with a "People-First" Foundation: While AI tools (like Claude) are being developed internally to speed up complex mapping and protocol translation, technology will supplement—rather than replace—the critical human element required to support high-stakes logistics operations.

Cartoonist, illustrator, and festival artist Jay Howell joins host Hollie Nicole at Inkcarceration for a funny, fascinating conversation connecting animation, skate culture, tattoos, and the world of rock and metal festivals.Jay shares how drawing for Vans, Antihero, Creature, and Burton Snowboards helped shape his career before Bob's Burgers creator Loren Bouchard discovered his artwork at a San Francisco show. He also reveals the hilariously dark original concept for Bob's Burgers and how his loose drawing style evolved when the series entered television development.The story then takes a rock-and-roll turn as Jay explains how tattooing a creative director led to an unexpected offer to join the Danny Wimmer Presents festival circuit. That opportunity became one of his favorite jobs, allowing him to create festival artwork and draw musicians including Slash, Kerry King, Green Day, Insane Clown Posse, and Pierce the Veil.Jay also discusses drawing dozens of fans each day, why attendees are just as important as the bands, and the artist still sitting at the top of his wish list. Plus, he teases upcoming Guns N' Roses artwork, posters, merchandise, art shows, ShipRocked, and appearances at Louder Than Life, Bourbon & Beyond, Aftershock, and future DWP festivals.Press play for animation history, rock festival art, unforgettable celebrity encounters, Inkcarceration chaos, and Hollie Nicole receiving her own Jay Howell character!

“Anyone who does surfing is going to do it in their own way.” “The WSL does it in their own way, Stab does it in their own way. Obviously Louis Vuitton is going to do it in their own way. It's going to be extra and over the top.” The question, really, is not whether Michael February belongs in a Louis Vuitton campaign. The question is whether any other surfer make the whole proposition look quite so fabulous. When the images dropped online, Mikey clad in a magnificent yellow knit, clutching a man-purse, the surf world was, you might say, a little divided. Some lamented the death of core surfing. Others accused LV of appropriating surf culture, or of repackaging the cultural myth of the Hollywood surf movie through an entirely outsider perspective. Rushing to the defence of Mikey and the great French luxury conglomerate were the wizened souls of Evan Slater and Joel Tudor. “It is so wild to me all the shit talking going on about the recent LV surf fashion line,” wrote Joel. “Yall are some hypocritical barneys.” “Where were all these passionate ‘saviours of surf culture' when licensing conglomerate @authentic acquired the souls of every major surf brand from the past 30+ years?,” wrote Evan Slater. “This is life after death, guys. Keep surfing and keep generously sharing the gifts of surfing with others. The rest will take care of itself.” A lot more yapping, back and forth, can be found in the comments here. Also in this ep: did Pharrell and Louis Vuitton rip off Vans? Dane seems to think the whole thing might be a marketing play, and a very smart one at that. The boys also talk team surf films, EAST, and check in with the Rip Curl Padang Padang Cup comp director, Harry Mann.

Albee Layer and Torrey Meister got water-herded by a shark in Maui, and he's still a staunch proponent of sharks' rights. The same can't be said at Fred Pawle — to some the star, to many others the villain of our currently-running Shark Week. Keep your ears peeled for a snippet of the Great Shark Debate inside. Also in this ep we announce our new EAST surfer (presented by Kona Big Wave and Vans), dissect the financial realities of the Challenger Series, and why tradesmen actually have better surfing lives than the "pros". PS, we're throwing a US Open party with Quiksilver this Saturday night, July 25th at Bungalow in HB. Get there.

Dave Dullens has spent 20 years keeping brands like that relevant. He's Head of Brand and Consumer at Conquest Sports, the 45-year Converse licensee for Australia and New Zealand, and his whole career has run through iconic footwear: Converse, Vans, Timberland, Dr. Martens. This isn't a creative-tactics episode, it's a masterclass in keeping an iconic brand relevant across generations.In this episode, Dave sits down with Nathan Bush to make the case for brand in a business obsessed with conversion. We get into why the algorithm understands conversion but not your brand priorities, so some messages need their own budget to find an audience. We unpack his layered creator pyramid, from nano and micro fans through to global ambassadors, and why leaning into what a creator already does well beats handing them a rigid brief. And Dave explains what it actually takes to let go of brand control, including the dirty-sneaker video that broke all of Converse's rules and still drove sales. Plus why he thinks physical and offline is the next real resurgence, and how to measure brand so the finance team stops treating it as fluff.Brands and tools mentioned: Converse, Conquest Sports, Vans, Timberland, Dr. Martens, Nike, Jordan, Hurley, Tracksuit, Meta, TikTok, Reddit, PattenIn this episode:Why the algorithm optimises for conversion, not brand, so some messages need carved-out budget to reach new audiencesHow to build a layered creator program and brief creators to their strengths instead of scripting themHow to measure brand with tracking and research so it earns budget in a numbers-driven businessConnect with Dave Dullens Explore ConverseSubscribe to the Add To Cart newsletter  SMS us to Suggest a Guest Connect with Nathan Bush Join the Add To Cart Community

Benji Wilkins has an inspirational and truly remarkable experience that needed to be told in the moment. His incredible story involves the physical and mental journey of running 42 marathons in 42 days across the UK. In his own words, “I'm not an elite athlete. I like to run, but I'm not winning any races. In 2025 I ran maybe 30 miles a month! I'm not the fastest runner you'll meet, and I'm definitely not the most experienced. What I am, is stubborn.”He set out on this grueling challenge from John o' Groats to Land's End to raise vital funds and awareness for multiple sclerosis. Driven by a deeply personal cause, Benji undertook this self-imposed suffering to support his mother, who has been living with MS for over a decade.We discuss the brutal physical toll of running a marathon every day, the powerful mind-body connection required to endure when the body wants to quit, and the profound spiritual insights Benji gained about the power of community, daily discipleship, and what it truly means to "endure to the end."Some highlights from this episode include:Current Progress and the Physical Toll: Benji shares firsthand stories from the road on day 33, detailing the extreme fatigue, the shifting landscape as he moves south, and the bizarre experience of running a full marathon in a pair of jeans.The Liquid Calorie Strategy: From downing maple syrup to mixing specialized carbohydrate shakes, Benji explains how he forces thousands of calories into a body that completely loses its appetite after a long day of running.The Mind-Body Connection: A fascinating deep dive into the mental strategy Benji used to communicate with his own body early in the challenge, repeating the mantra "adapt or die" to overcome early threats of runner's knee and hip strain.Ministering Angels in Vans: Benji details the incredible, unexpected acts of kindness from friends, family, and strangers who showed up out of nowhere—including a friend who travelled 13 hours to run in a pair of Vans—to sustain him during his darkest miles.Understanding Multiple Sclerosis: A moving discussion about his mother's decade-long battle to receive an MS diagnosis, how the autoimmune disease impacts the nervous system, and the daily, hidden physical challenges that require true, permanent resilience.The True Meaning of Endurance: Benji reflects on the gospel principle of endurance, sharing how true endurance isn't just about gritting your teeth through self-imposed suffering, but about finding a higher purpose, relying on the "tender mercies" of the community, and allowing the experience to refine the human spirit.You can find out more about Benji's journey and support the cause at the following link:Website: Marathons for Mom (https://marathonsformum.com/)https://gofund.me/5ffa4a29b Follow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content:www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspodhttps://www.facebook.com/forallthesaintspod/For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDUQg_qZIU&list=UULFFf7vzrJ2LNWmp1Kl-c6K9Qhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm9qbGVVZOM48P4HS?si=bb31d048e05141f2https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/for-all-the-saints/id1703815271If you have feedback or any suggestions for topics or guests, connect with Ben & Sean via hello@forallthesaints.org or DM on InstagramConversations to Refresh Your Faith.

Recorded live at the Retail Collective Summit, this panel of elite industry leaders and marketing executives dismantles a massive industry fallacy: consumers aren't obsessed with your brand, they are obsessed with themselves. To drive real loyalty, speakers explain why companies must tap into the "identity layer," ritualizing products so that using them says something bold about the consumer's own lifestyle. The discussion delivers an honest reality check on the current oversaturated creator landscape, outlining why transactional brand deals fail and why true marketing conversion requires co-creating authentic content alongside target communities. The panelists also tackle the operational friction of investment strategy, mapping out how to balance short-term performance metrics with long-term brand equity campaigns that require patience to mature. By breaking down the essential connection between product design timelines and upstream marketing teams, this session offers an integrated playbook on how to build a unified brand engine that successfully captures consumer attention and drives sustainable growth. Moderators: Matt Behrend & Daniel Lemaire - Agility Ads Panelists: Kristin Harrer (FMR. VANS, Samsung, T-Mobile, Nike) - Jacob Zuppke (Whisker) - Larry D. Hall Jr. (LHSC Inc) - Nathan Wigglesworth (Wigz)

We're diving into the absolute drama of Homie Helpline, where a listener is ready to cancel a girls' trip because her friend lost 100 pounds on Ozempic and transformed into a total "mean girl" baddie online!

The squad tries to help a listener named Diana navigate a "mean girl" situation after her friend lost 100 lbs on Ozempic but is now "fake flexing" online like it's all 5:00 a.m. gym discipline. Between the friendship drama, the crew investigates if ASAP Rocky was actually wearing a thong on stage and hears a legendary story about Barack Obama scoring tickets to a Tupac show in the '90s.

A legendary Florida vert ramp didn't just appear, it survived. We're down in Holopaw, Florida with pro vert skateboarder Rodney Mead and Daytona OG Gnarly Charlie while we work on Rodney's Vert Ramp Rehab project and swap the kind of stories you only get from decades in the trenches. If you grew up on 80s skateboarding, backyard halfpipes, and the loud, messy magic of local scenes, this one hits deep. We get into Rodney's early setups, the ramps that taught him everything, and the hilarious Christmas morning disaster where the “hidden” boards got found and the punishment lasted longer than the stoke. Then we jump straight into the real-world problem every ramp builder knows right now: lumber prices, material shortages, and how fast a rehab budget can explode. Rodney also breaks down the full saga of how the Orlando Vans Skate Park ramps shut down, got refurbished, and ended up being bought, sold, dismantled, hauled, and rebuilt into a new home base for Florida vert skateboarding. From there, it opens up into the bigger picture: Florida vs California skate culture, why the West Coast got the spotlight, and how social media changed the rules for getting recognized. Rodney shares his competition path from Vans events to Tampa Pro points, X Games proximity, and the surreal Combi Pool “golden ticket” year that got derailed by a decades-old warrant, only to lead to a passport and international contests like Vert Attack. We close with Charlie's Team Pain mega ramp build stories and what it's like to watch history get built from raw wood and stubborn will. If you're into vert skateboarding, ramp building, skateboarding history, or Florida skate culture, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a five-star rating. What's the most legendary ramp story you've ever heard or lived?

How do you move from training in auto-design to working in footwear? Relaunching one of the world's most iconic shoes for the iconic skate and streetwear brand VANS, and living with the consequences of success?Mark talks about his career and how his love of typography, design, the Southern California lifestyle, and sport have influenced his life and work.

Bracken Darrell has spent his career helping iconic brands rediscover what makes them matter. In this conversation with Ryan, Bracken reflects on the mindset that guided his work leading transformations at companies like Logitech, Old Spice, Braun, and now VF Corp, home to brands including Vans and The North Face. He shares why curiosity has been one of the greatest drivers of growth in his life, why speed matters more than perfection, and how the best leaders learn to stay optimistic without losing their edge. Ryan and Bracken also explore imposter syndrome, creativity inside large organizations, and the challenge of protecting new ideas from the “gravity” that naturally pulls big companies backward. Along the way, Bracken opens up about becoming more comfortable in his own skin over time and why the strongest brands succeed by helping people feel more like themselves.

We swapped 40 Ford Mavericks into our home service fleet — and the results changed the way we think about fleet management.Most home service companies are overspending on vehicles without realizing it. A new service van can cost $50,000–$60,000 today. A Ford Maverick? Around $27,000. We now run 40 Mavericks inside a 120+ vehicle fleet — and we've lowered overhead, reduced accidents, improved fuel economy, and still get the job done without sacrificing operational efficiency.In this episode, we break down:→ Why the “you can't run service out of a small truck” argument is outdated→ How we use Packout systems and standardized inventory kits to maximize space→ The sales-to-install model that makes smaller vehicles work at scale→ The real numbers behind fleet costs, efficiency, and utilization→ Why two Mavericks can outperform one traditional service van

Jayden Sheridan was just 17 years old when he found out he was going to be a father, and immediately Jayden knew he needed to give his son better opportunities than he ever had growing up in regional Victoria. (R)In Seymour, which is one of the most disadvantaged postcodes in Australia, Jayden experienced homelessness, substance abuse, violence and a general lack of direction. He had no male role models in his life, but he did have the local skate park.It's where he went to feel safe and to feel himself, and Jayden wanted to create that same feeling for his son, and all the other kids in his town of Seymour.What started as adhoc skate lessons quickly turned into Gnarly Neighbours, something far bigger and more impactful than 17-year-old Jayden could have imagined.Jayden has recently been selected as a 2026 Westpac Social Change Fellow. His fellowship involves travelling across the US, Europe and the UK to learn from organisations doing similar work in creative and trauma-informed mentoring for young people.You can learn more about Gnarly Neighbours here.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

Brock is one of snowboarding's hidden gems, posted up behind the lens. Quiet, observant and constantly digesting the world through a camera, you can feel that raw authenticity in everything he creates. From getting thrown into the mix with legends like Nate Bozung and Matty Ryan during the iconic BOZWRECK era, Brock helped document a true cult classic chapter of snowboard filmmaking. He captured and brought to life a side of snowboarding that was often overlooked by the mainstream. Names like Bradshaw, Bennee, Deadlung and Keegan are just a few of the legends he filmed during the prime of their careers. Over the years, Brock has continued to build a style that feels timeless, he has the ability to make moments feel real, not staged or forced. The last Brown Cinema film - Knights Of The Brown Table says it all. From Absinthe Films, Adidas, Torment Magazine, The North Face, SIMS and beyond riders, brands and snowboarding as a hole are grateful to have him in the mix. So what's next for Brock? Tune in. Thanks for coming on the show!  Presented by Monster Enegery  Supported by Vans, Arc'teryx, The Source, Gibbons Whistler, Baldface Lodge

If you could either time travel in a van or instantly absorb all knowledge from books with a magic ring… which one are you choosing?Before you answer, just know this: the crew of this daily comedy show took this question VERY seriously… and immediately used it to derail the space-time continuum, rewrite history, and emotionally spiral.On this episode of The Rizzuto Show — your favorite daily comedy show that absolutely should not be trusted with hypothetical power — the gang debates the pros and cons of unlimited knowledge vs unlimited time travel. Turns out, knowing everything might make you lonely, and time travel might turn you into a full-blown history meddler with questionable morals.Lern wants to fix the world. Rizzuto wants to… well… handle historical situations his own way. Rafe is slapping “Risky Business” on a time-travel van and calling it a day. Meanwhile, the “Ring Boys” are over here trying to become geniuses without accidentally giving themselves a brain aneurysm.And that's just the FIRST chunk of the show.We also get into:The results of March Movie Mayhem (and yes, people got heated)A Liquid Death stunt that turns your entire house into a sparkling water faucet fever dreamCelebrity chaos featuring attempted murder charges, kidnapping allegations, and more “what is happening” momentsCourtney Love casually telling a story that somehow gets more unbelievable the longer it goesTiger Woods having possibly the most “do you know who I am?” moment of all timeBasically, it's everything you expect from a daily comedy show that thrives on sarcasm, ridiculous debates, and moments where everyone questions reality — including themselves.If you're here for a funny podcast that mixes pop culture, weird news, and conversations that go completely off the rails… welcome home.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/RizzShow.Hear 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.

The Afeela 1, priced from $89,900 with deliveries planned for late 2026, has been cancelled alongside a second model targeting 2028, with California reservation holders receiving full refunds.MG TEASES SOLIDCORE BATTERYMG Motor has opened a third European engineering centre in Frankfurt and unveiled SolidCore, a semi-solid-state battery cell using a manganese-based cathode, semi-solid electrolyte shield, and graphite anode — claiming improvements in safety, range, durability and cold-weather performance without providing specific figures. MG claims to be the first automaker to mass-produce a semi-solid-state battery, though the distinction from a similar cell already in China-market MG4s since December 2025 remains unclear; SolidCore is expected in European EVs by end of 2026.EV CAR/VAN CONVERSIONS FROM RENAULT AND VOLVORenault has revealed an electric Twingo van conversion developed for EDF, doubling load capacity from 360 to 797 litres via a removable rear seat, mesh bulkhead, and cargo cage — though the concept remains unlikely to reach UK sale. Volvo UK is already in market with the EX30 Cargo, a fleet-only compact van offering 1,000 litres of capacity, 390kg payload, and a top dual-motor variant producing 423bhp with a 0–62mph time of 3.6 seconds.AUSTRALIAN FUEL SHORTAGES SPREAD WITHOUT SUPPLY LOSSPanic buying — not supply disruption — has left over 500 petrol stations across Australia short of at least one fuel grade, with New South Wales worst affected at 289 sites, including 164 diesel-dry locations pushing diesel prices above $3 per litre. Authorities have not declared a national fuel emergency or introduced rationing, with Victoria's Energy Minister confirming the strain is entirely driven by consumer behaviour rather than any import disruption.VAUXHALL ASTRA FACELIFT STARTS AT £29,995The facelifted Vauxhall Astra starts at £29,995 across mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and full EV variants in both hatchback and Sports Tourer estate, with the PHEV's battery growing from 12.4kWh to 17.2kWh for 52 miles of official electric range and a BiK rate of 10% — undercutting the Golf eHybrid by £6,490. The Astra Electric uses a 154bhp motor with 55.4kWh usable battery, 281 miles of quoted range, and 100kW DC charging covering 20–80% in around 30 minutes.UK PLEDGES £1 BILLION FOR FLEET ELECTRIFICATIONThe UK government has committed £1 billion to commercial fleet electrification, with the Zero Emissions Truck and Van scheme covering up to 40% of purchase costs — reaching £81,000 for the heaviest electric trucks and £5,000 for vans, though reduced from a previous maximum of £120,000 for trucks over 26 tonnes. A separate £170 million uplift to the Depot Charging Scheme allows businesses to reclaim up to 70% of depot charging installation costs, capped at £1 million per application.SK SIGNET STARTS TEXAS BUILD OF 400-KW CHARGERSK Signet has begun production of a 400-kW all-in-one DC fast charger at its Texas facility, using silicon carbide electronics to achieve 96.5% conversion efficiency while reducing its physical footprint by up to 54% versus its predecessor. A modular design offers 320–400kW output tiers, supports one to four CCS1/NACS ports delivering a stable 150–250kW per vehicle simultaneously, and features a 32-inch outdoor touchscreen with Plug & Charge, credit card, and RFID payment support.ROLLS-ROYCE OPENS ELECTRIC COACHBUILD PROGRAMMERolls-Royce has launched the Coachbuild Collection, a new electric coachbuilding programme for ultra-high-net-worth clients, with every vehicle fully road-legal and homologated — unlike predecessors Sweptail, Boatail, and Droptail. The first model will be fully electric, with powertrain, design, and interior details expected later in 2026, supported by a Private Office Network across Dubai, Seoul, Shanghai, New York, and Goodwood.FERRARI TUNES LUCE FOR FEEL, NOT FIGURESFerrari says its first fully electric car, the Luce, will prioritise driver feel over headline performance figures, with CEO Benedetto Vigna consulting NASA and medical centres to identify the point at which EV acceleration becomes neurologically disturbing. Ferrari identified five distinct generators of driving thrills and is focusing on issues such as battery placement to address the mismatch between visual and vestibular cues in cornering caused by heavy EV battery packs.XPENG AUSTRALIA DISTRIBUTOR ENTERS ADMINISTRATIONXPeng's sole Australian distributor, Sydney-based TrueEV, has entered external administration after a lender stepped in over unmet financing arrangements, with insolvency specialists now managing and selling close to 200 G6 vehicles across Melbourne, Brisbane, Wollongong, and Fremantle.
