I decided that it was high time we dedicated an episode to one of the U.S.' most important exports - cotton, that soft, billowy material we all love. We are honored to have as our guest Buddy Allen, President and CEO of the American Cotton Shippers Association. 

We had a great discussion where Buddy brought us up to date on the state of the industry and shared his stories about one of America's most important export commodities.

I was thinking that, given the supply chain challenges that we have all faced since 2020, wouldn't it be nice to interview a guest with lots of all around corporate experience in the world of distribution?

Here is a great discussion with my friend Penny Register-Shaw who has held executive positions at FedEx, Amazon, and Walmart over many, many years.

It was a delight to chat with her about all of her experience and have her share some of her stories.

Episode #31:  Landaira and Waste-to-Energy - An Export Story We Need to Talk About

4/18/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
This episode of Export Stories Podcast 2022 is a subject I’m excited to talk about with my guest, Vincent Harkins, CFO of Landaira, Inc..  

I’ve been following waste-to-energy for a long time.  But what does waste-to-energy really mean?  Suppose you could take garbage, refuse, unwanted rubbish and muck, and, instead of burying it in the ground, you turned it into clean energy?  Well, it’s real.  And the technology has evolved over time to where it is not only a feasible alternative to landfilling, but one that we need to consider for its benefits to reducing climate change.

Here is the link where you can listen:

Episode #27: How USGLC Works for the Benefit of Peace, Stability, and U.S. Economic Development

11/1/2021

1 Comment

 
You may ask yourselves, “Who is out there advocating for U.S. foreign aid and development, because we know it promotes peace, stability, alliances, and U.S. business interests?” The answer is simple - it is a U.S. non-partisan organization called USGLC.

USGLC brings together more than 500 businesses and non-profits from across the country to work for these goals. Their advisory council is made up of distinguished leaders including former Cabinet officials, members of Congress, and every living Secretary of State.

To delve into what USGLC is all about, we are very fortunate to have as our guests Jeremy Tolbert, Deputy National Outreach Director for the Eastern Region, and Dr. John Glenn, Policy Director.

You can listen here:
