Today, we’re teaming up with Brad Formsma, Founder & CEO of I Like Giving and Host of The WOW Factor Podcast! Brad takes over our studio to interview Brent Nussbaum, CEO of Nussbaum Transportation, about his life, career, and lessons in leadership. This conversation was released as a WOW Factor episode (#228), and now you can listen right here on Terminal Exchange!

In this interview, Brent Nussbaum takes us on a personal walk down memory lane. Reflecting on his early years at Nussbaum, losing his father at age 23, leaving and returning to the family business – Brent describes the people and events God used to shape him into the leader he is today. He also shares how God transformed his view of business and led Nussbaum to begin using full-wrap trailer graphics to encourage the public.

Under Brent’s leadership, Nussbaum has flourished and set new industry standards for safety, technology, and the driver experience. What makes this possible? Settle in as Brent shares his WOW – Words of Wisdom – about leadership, taking care of employees, and relying on God to direct you each day.

“Death used to be an executioner, but the gospel has made him a gardener.” – George Herbert

It’s the thing no one wants to talk about, but what every human will eventually face. Despite our best medical advances and enjoyable distractions, death is inescapable. But two thousand years ago, as he comforted a beloved friend whose home had been visited by death, Jesus Christ proclaimed:

“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

In this special Easter message, Nussbaum Chaplain Jim Revelle helps us face the taboo topic of death – not with resolve or human courage, but through faith in the power of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Far from being the end, Jim reminds us that death for followers of Jesus is actually the door to real, eternal life. The question is, will we believe?

It’s usually his accent that gives it away. Out of all Nussbaum’s employees, Morné Van Rensburg might just win the award for “traveled the furthest to get here.” Though he is now an official Midwesterner and working the IT Help Desk at Nussbaum, Morné was born 8,700 miles away in South Africa! And at age 12, his family moved to a new continent, country, and culture – the United Kingdom.

In today’s exchange, Morné invites us on two interwoven journeys. One is filled with culture, unique foods, and adventures across three continents. The other is more personal, as Morné shares about finding authentic faith and a hope that keeps you anchored in troubled times.

And speaking of hope….be sure to stick around til the end, when Morné helps us reveal Nussbaum’s latest trailer graphic campaign!

For over 100 years, Home Sweet Home Ministries has been a place of refuge for those facing the complexities of homelessness and food insecurity. Their motto is to “demonstrate Christ’s love through innovative approaches that instill hope, restore lives, and build community.”

In today’s exchange, Dayton chats with Matt Burgess, CEO of Home Sweet Home. You may know about HSHM’s shelter and dining services, but have you heard of their members-only grocery store? The community center? The annual event where fundraising supporters sleep in their cars? The time when Matt almost sold his sports car to a rock-n-roll star? (You read that right!).

Tune in to hear how this century-old organization is helping individuals and families work towards a stable, secure future. We hope it inspires listeners to see needs in their own neighborhoods and take up the same cause of restoration and hope.

“Our mission is bringing joy and purpose to orphans.”

For over 20 years, Lifesong for Orphans has done just that. They’ve helped to facilitate over 10,000 adoptions and provide gospel-centered care in schools, homes, and businesses in 14 countries around the globe. Who would’ve thought a failing food business and months of sleepless nights could lead to this?

In today’s episode, we’re excited to welcome Kory Kaeb, Lifesong’s VP of Operations, into the studio. He shares Lifesong’s history, how God grew the organization into an international ministry, and how they serve orphans, adoptive families, and churches. You’ll also learn about Lifesong’s 4-part pledge to “our children”: teaching the gospel, caring for physical needs, a quality education, and transitioning to adulthood.

Check out the resources below to learn more about Lifesong and how you can join the mission! Some are called to adopt, some are called to care, and some are called to give.

Emilio is known far and wide as one of the best-dressed drivers at Nussbaum. But he doesn’t need designer clothes or a big price tag to pull it off – he simply believes in being professional, presentable, and on-brand. His go-to’s include bowties, Hey Dudes, Nussbaum socks, and uniforms featuring the Nussbaum color palette.

But best of all, below the well-dressed exterior is a heart to match the outfit. Emilio’s joy and friendliness shine brightly each day as he interacts with fellow drivers, friends in the office, or customers on his regional run.

Emilio’s story will make you stop and consider what it really means to “show up” for work each day.

If Mr. Congeniality was an award, Matt Gordon would be in the running. Around Nussbaum, he’s known as the guy to talk to if you need your spirits lifted. He's also an excellent Driver Manager.

Whether it’s beach bumming, chess chomping, or just staying home with family, Matt Gordon is always “having a good time.” But it’s more than just positive self-talk – it’s a serious passion for living, based on the understanding that every day is a gift. Losing his brother made Matt realize that you only get one shot at life, so make it count.

We’re confident that Matt’s energy will infect our listeners, and we hope you come away with a renewed desire to make the most of every moment.

Is gratitude sacred or secular? How do I practice this thing called “thankfulness?” Holidays just remind me of loss – what should I do?

In this special episode, Dayton & Jim are diving deep. We’ll explore what society says about gratitude and compare it to what God’s Word has always said. Along the way, we’ll learn about being thankful for the obvious, the ordinary, and in the difficult. And ultimately – how we can have an eternal gratitude that holds up under the heaviest loads.

And since the big day is almost here, we’ll wet your tastebuds with a few recollections from Jim about his dad’s world-famous Thanksgiving dinners.

Today is bittersweet. Our beloved host, Saige Anderson, is passing the baton as she prepares to enter full-time motherhood! And before she goes, she’s here to introduce the NEW host of Terminal Exchange, straight from the IT department! (Wait, what??)

With two hosts in the studio, we’re not sure who’s interviewing who…. but we’re excited to meet Dayton and hear his story! Our biggest questions are, how did he go from studying Computer Science at ISU to the marketing department at Nussbaum? And why did he take a solo trip to Alaska?

And of course, to honor Saige’s last time in the studio, we’ll reminisce about her time at Nussbaum and suggest a few baby names. As Saige put it, “This might be the most sentimental episode yet.”
