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?"

In this episode I chat with Kasey McCormick Lyding who is the founder of ManagerStreet.

Even though we are from different industries we had a great chat about first time managers/supervisors, the lack of training they sometimes get in their new roles, and ways she can help in their growth by teaching, coaching, and mentoring.

Platforms like hers are a GOLDMINE for anyone wanting to better themselves as a new manager!

In this episode I chat with Casey Winans who is the CEO at Fullstride. He helps advise and guide operations through their first WMS installations from conception to end.

 If you are considering a WMS implementation for your organization, this is the podcast for you! I ask him many questions about what goes on "behind the scenes" in this industry and we discuss the wisdom we've gained from going through these impactful operational events.

Take it from me, you don't know what you don't know and what you don't know can bring PAIN!
