In WE Radio's latest "Leader in Highlight," WE Founder & CEO Jackie Mattox speaks with Chris Beeson,  Group Senior Vice President-Electronics at RS Components, an Electrocomponents Company. In Part 1 of this two-part interview, Chris focuses on the convergence of electronic components distribution into other areas beyond the traditional parts sales model. In what Chris refers to as a "moving equation,"  he shares how this transition has changed not only how distribution goes to market, but also the opportunities for companies including new positions, new employees and new ways of working. Chris further delves into how Covid-19 spotlighted the importance of employee onboarding, succession planning, staff nurturing and organizational self-analysis. Part 1 wraps up with insight into RS Components' ESG, which Chris explains sets the foundation for the company's environmental and social programs.Support the show (http://www.womeninelectronics.com)

Founder and CEO, Jackie Mattox,  continues the conversation with distribution leader and industry veteran Chris Beeson in Part 2 of his interview series. In looking back over his lengthy career, Chris shares how the fundamentals of the industry are the same; a business built on relationships, trust and long-term thinking, but the methodologies are different. He shares that while sales is still a key component to success, digital has changed the industry landscape, creating more opportunities for influential technical, marketing and operational roles driving business from behind the scenes. Today's leaders are now challenged to not only recognize these talents, but to foster and maximize their opportunities for growth. Chris shares his own mentorship story and how he had a champion who sponsored his growth, and it is a result of his positive experiences that he feels strongly that we all have a personal responsibility to give back. Support the show (http://www.womeninelectronics.com)

Show Notes  Today is an unusually important show. My friend and CEO of Wells of Life, Nick Jordan, spent all of 2021 battling with Stage 4 colon and lung cancer. The odds of survival were not good. But let’s come to the end of the story right away. After 2 surgeries, 4 months of chemotherapy, 75 radiation treatments, 2 days of fasting before every chemo session, and a bout with Shingles he was declared cancer free in late December 2021. During the months of chemotherapy, radiation, and times of surgery, Nick had only his faith, his family, and his friends to lean on. And truthfully, all three were desperately needed because the reality of impending death makes you realize the shortness of life, therefore forcing you to re-evaluate everything you do and believe. In Psalm 90, Moses writes, “Lord, teach us how short our lives really are so that we may be wise.” We have much to learn from someone who has been close to death. Today, let’s discover the value of life from the perspective of very recent cancer survivor.
