Ben Green
COO, TrailPath Workplace Solutions
Technology and leadership are often treated as two separate things. That's shifting some though. TrailPath Workplace Solutions isn’t simply putting another technology tool in the hands of ops leaders.

Technology and leadership are often treated as two separate things. That's shifting some though. TrailPath Workplace Solutions isn’t simply putting another technology tool in the hands of ops leaders. Great chat with Ben Green their COO!
- Floor leads gotta know:
- Who needs my attention? 2️⃣ Where should I focus? 3️⃣ When should I coach? 4️⃣ When should I step back?
Experience helps answer those questions, we all know this, but new supervisors don’t have years of experience yet.
- They can help not by replacing leadership, but by helping leaders see what matters, build better habits, and improve every day.
Habits shape behavior. Behavior shapes results.
- The question is: How do we help more leaders build those habits?

I must say, there are some exciting, buzz worthy, and extremely positive stuff going on at Knight-Swift Supply Chain! They allowed me a chance to record this amazing podcast episode to chat with and highlight some of their stellar ops employees. These folks are a mix of salaried and hourly.
They chatted with me during a break in operations and they were GREAT! It really comes through the positivity they feel, and they embody and embrace the company core values.
Hear from some unheralded folks who are the REAL folks getting the J.O.B. done daily.

I love highlighting new and exciting startups on the podcast! Spurthi Venkatesh Prasad is the Founder of HudQu which is "Bridging non-tech jobs and talent, one scroll at a time." She joins me for a chat about her innovative and exciting new company that is modernizing and simplifying the world of staffing and recruitment for warehouse jobs (and many other industries). Job seeking sucks ok, we can all agree. But with HudQu, it can actually be.... dare I say.... fun for BOTH sides of the fence. Check the podcast out to learn more about how they can help you in your search as a candidate, and how as a company, you can swipe through daily to see what new "potential all-stars" are available before the temp agencies ever get their hands on them!

Nish George
CEO, Fetch Fulfillment
The 3PL world is huge. There are thousands....10s of thousands of them around the globe and trying to learn which one might be the best for brands is a challenge. What separates the good from the bad?

The 3PL world is huge. There are thousands....10s of thousands of them around the globe and trying to learn which one might be the best for brands is a challenge. What separates the good from the bad? What is life like inside one? Nish George, the CEO of Fetch Fulfillment, was my guest for this episode! We pull back the curtain on how Fetch operates, what are some of the missteps and oversights brand owners often make when deciding on 3PLs, and how Fetch is able to achieve some of their stellar performance metrics. He also walks me through exactly what happens when customers start partnering with him and the nuts and bolts that go into achieving success for both sides. Oh, Nish drops some amazing stories (of some ridiculous situations) from his former life before Fetch!

I loved chatting with Leah Clement of iJility, which is a staffing firm that doesn't just fill roles; they elevate your operations. They're much more comprehensive and in depth than traditional staffing firms.

I loved chatting with Leah Clement of iJility, which is a staffing firm that doesn't just fill roles; they elevate your operations. They're much more comprehensive and in depth than traditional staffing firms. I asked insightful questions, and she answered them all! Examples:
"Aren't different staffing firms all just pulling from the same pool of people? We always hear warehouses should increase wages but is that actually required to get the better talent or is it just a way for the agencies to make more money? Why in the warehousing world does assessing employees as temps first beat direct hire programs?"
