Sue Lyon didn’t follow a straight path to leadership—or out of addiction. Today, she’s the VP of Manufacturing at Lakanto, where she’s leading the charge to scale monk fruit sweetener production with discipline, empathy, and the kind of outside-the-box thinking that turns complexity into clarity.

In this episode, Sue opens up about what makes a great operator, how she builds trust with a team that doesn’t speak her language, and why she refuses to ask anyone to do a job she wouldn’t do herself. She shares the real-world lessons that shaped her management style—from team sports and early mentors to the mistakes that nearly derailed everything—and how her recovery from addiction fundamentally changed the way she leads.

We talk about manufacturing culture, second chances, and what it takes to turn personal growth into operational momentum.

From high school fields to high-stakes production floors, this one’s about resilience, reinvention, and building something that actually works—on the floor and beyond it.

In this episode of Know Your Ship, host Frank sits down with Aaron Bezzant—dirt bike racer, father of eight, and Head of Supply Chain at Zonos—for a conversation that’s equal parts gripping and inspiring. From a childhood spent sneaking dirt bikes behind his dad’s back to managing global logistics, Aaron’s story is one of grit, growth, and perspective.

He opens up about the harrowing accident that nearly took his son’s life, the unexpected lessons that came from it, and how having a strong foundation helped him get back up—both literally and emotionally. Aaron also dives into the evolution of cross-border shipping, why trust is everything in negotiation, and how “the math has to math” in both life and business.

You’ll hear about racing 8-hour endurance events in the Utah desert, storing a human skull (yes, really), and why being the youngest of six shaped how he leads at work and at home.

This episode is about anchoring to your values, showing up for your people, and building systems that work—on and off the trail.

If you had $100 million and ran a pro rugby team, what would you do with it? For Kimball Kjar, co-founder and CEO of the Utah Warriors, the answer is simple: give every kid in Utah a rugby ball. In this episode of Know Your Ship, presented by eHub, Frank sits down with Kimball to talk about building Major League Rugby from the ground up, what makes rugby different from every other sport in America, and why it’s more than just a game.

From his start as a walk-on at BYU to becoming a U.S. National Team scrum half, Kimball shares the story of falling in love with the sport, how rugby found its footing in Utah, and why he believes its values—family, tradition, respect, and community—matter more than ever. They also get into the business side: what went wrong with America’s first pro league, how the Warriors are built to last, and what the 2031 Rugby World Cup on U.S. soil could mean for the sport’s future here.

It’s a wide-ranging, real conversation about sport, culture, business, and how you create something meaningful—one tackle, one kid, one game at a time.

In this episode of Know Your Ship, former Utah Jazz star Thurl Bailey joins host Frank to talk about what really shapes greatness—on and off the court. From getting cut in junior high to suiting up in the NBA, Thurl shares how faith, failure, and family built the foundation for a life of impact.

Born in the heart of the civil rights era and raised on hard work and high standards, Thurl reflects on his early days in Washington D.C., his move to Utah, and the powerful life lessons that came from mentors, setbacks, and his love for the game. He opens up about the moment Dr. J inspired him, why fundamentals still matter, and how preparation changed everything.

This is more than a basketball story. It’s a Utah story. It’s an NBA story. And it’s a reminder that greatness starts with grit.

In this episode of Know Your Ship, presented by eHub, host Frank talks with Padhu Raman, founder of Osa Commerce, about the evolving landscape of supply chain and e-commerce logistics.

Padhu shares his journey from growing up in South India to working at Bosch, then spending 17 years at Manhattan Associates, and ultimately building a platform aimed at solving some of the most pressing challenges in fulfillment and logistics.

Throughout the conversation, he reflects on the complexity of modern supply chains—from data silos and fragmented systems to the rising need for real-time orchestration—and why small and mid-sized brands need more than just software to compete.

This episode explores what it takes to build technology that actually works for operators, not just executives. Padhu talks openly about what he learned on warehouse floors, the limits of robotic automation, the true cost of integration, and why simplifying the post-purchase experience is key to customer retention.

If you work in logistics, supply chain, shipping, or e-commerce—or just want a smarter way to connect your systems and partners—this one’s worth a listen.

Anneke Gambina didn’t plan on becoming a 3PL operator. She studied art history, joined the Marines, got into CrossFit, and eventually found herself leading Left Brain Logistics—a fulfillment company known for being both brutally efficient and deeply human.

In this episode, we skip the buzzwords and get into the real stuff: how to lead people without burning out, what perfectionism looks like in a warehouse, and why clients trust her team with more than just inventory.

Anneke’s approach to business is tough, thoughtful, and refreshingly direct. So is this conversation.

Forget the playbook. This one’s about instincts, discipline, and the long road to building something that actually works.

What does it take to spend 17 years pursuing perfection? In this episode of Know Your Ship, host Frank Dolce sits down with Sydney Soloski——to explore the triumphs, traumas, and transformation of a world-class athlete.

Sydney opens up about the early start of her gymnastics career, the abusive coaching culture she endured, and the resilience it took to keep going when everything told her to stop. She shares raw stories of significant injuries (hello, three plates, and 12 screws in her foot), navigating Olympic trials, and what finally made her fall in love with the sport during college.

This conversation goes beyond gymnastics—diving into lessons in leadership, the bittersweet reality of retirement, rebuilding her identity outside the gym, and how she’s applying her competitive spirit in a new chapter as a sales professional.

What if ending chronic homelessness wasn’t about housing first—but humanity first?

In this moving episode of Know Your Ship, host Frank sits down with Preston Cochrane, CEO of The Other Side Village, a self-sustaining community in Salt Lake City built to restore lives—not just roofs over heads.

 Preston moves the needle and the soul.

With decades of experience in credit counseling and behavioral health, Preston shares how The Other Side Village is redefining the way we approach homelessness. This isn’t just about shelter—it’s about rebuilding identity through community, purpose, and dignity. They’re creating transformation through therapy, job training, financial literacy, and a deep sense of belonging.

It’s a model rooted in earned success and personal accountability, where faith in people—flawed, beautiful, whole—drives everything. And yes, donuts and dance battles are part of the healing, too.

Preston explains why “housing solves homelessness” is a myth, how the true root of chronic homelessness is often a catastrophic loss of family, and why charity without connection falls short. His vision is bold, human-centered, and impossible to forget.

Whether you work in social impact or public policy or simply want to believe in people again, this conversation will stay with you.
