How do you transport products efficiently into a country that's at war? What's the best coffee the globe has to offer? There's one man who can give us both answers, and that's our latest guest Diego Flores. In this episode of Logistics with Purpose, powered by Supply Chain Now and Vector Global Logistics, he joins us virtually from Uganda and takes us behind the scenes of supply chain logistics for Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders), where he serves as Country Director and General Manager of the Regional Support Office.

Many of us have a career path that is long and winding. How we see each of those twists and turns – as a setback or an opportunity – often determines how successful we will be at the end of the journey.

Laura Cyrus followed a particularly windy path to get to Truckers Against Trafficking, a 501(c)3 organization that exists to educate, equip, empower, and mobilize members of the trucking, bus and energy industries to combat human trafficking. She picked up web skills and voiceover experience in different positions that she now leverages for a whole new reason.

In this classic Logistics with Purpose episode, Laura tells Logistics with Purpose hosts Enrique Alvarez and Kristi Porter:

· How new graduates or job seekers ‘take inventory’ of seemingly random professional experiences into a capability profile that will help them find their next role

· Why drivers and other members of the supply chain / trucking industry are uniquely positioned to combat human trafficking – if they are properly trained

· Some of the best (and most amazing) success stories that have come out of the Truckers Against Trafficking movement

Team Rubicon has been in operation for 13 years, during which time they have worked in 1,100 different disasters or crises across the country and around the world. The premise of the organization is that military veterans have great experience that can be applied in a disaster relief context and that the military culture and ethos – a bias for action - is attractive to a much broader base than the veteran community. 

In this classic episode of Logistics with Purpose, Kristi Porter and Maureen Woolshlager are joined by David Burke, Chief Programs Officer at Team Rubicon and a Marine Corps veteran. In his current role, he spearheads Team Rubicon’s efforts to scale up the delivery of disaster services and life-saving humanitarian aid through safe, effective, and meaningful staff and volunteer implementation.

In this episode of Logistics with Purpose, powered by Supply Chain Now, Enrique Alvarez and Kristi Porter welcome Laura Cyrus with Truckers Against Trafficking to the podcast. 

Laura candidly takes us through her exciting and very meaningful life story as she goes from musical theater and drum line teacher; to studying criminal justice, working at a clinical psychologist practice, co-founding an organization around optimism and realizing her true calling is fighting sex trafficking by joining Truckers Against Trafficking.

Truckers Against Trafficking believes that prostitution is inherently exploitative, and when an individual is prostituted through force, fraud, coercion, poverty, abuse at earlier stages of life, and/or lack of viable options, they should not be punished for being exploited.

Truckers Against Trafficking believes education and awareness about the realities of prostitution, porn, and sexual violence are key to shifting cultural and societal views and protect victims and survivors. This is especially important for those in positions with a high likelihood of encountering victims (transportation, justice system, law enforcement, education professionals, healthcare workers, etc.).

Logistics and transportation providers are key in fighting sex trafficking. Listen to Laura, visit Truckers Against Trafficking, watch the 30 min training video, and demand that anyone in our industry takes action. You can make a difference!

While people are always listed first in the classic ‘people, process, and technology’ paradigm, when it comes to leading change, they are often considered last. That creates a situation where transformation projects may not be able to succeed, simply because the culture is too weak to support them.

She has a successful track record as a transformational leader, guiding organizations through digital, and cultural transformations by focusing on cultivating and empowering collaborative, engaged and high-performing teams, through servant leadership and authenticity.

This episode of Supply Chain Now is a continuation of our Logistics with Purpose series, sponsored by Vector Global Logistics, and features Shane Buerster. On a Mercer On Mission trip during the summer of 2016, Shane Buerster, a rising junior at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, met Arturo Penarreta Romero, a 65 year old man from Zaruma, Ecuador. Throughout Shane's junior year of college, Arturo and Shane spoke on the phone 3 - 4 times a week, as a way to improve Shane's Spanish. But, the conversations quickly started focusing upon the idea of building a direct trade supply chain that'd enable the import of Ecuadorian coffee from small, micro-lot plantations. A few months later, Arturo sent Shane 65lbs of coffee, which arrived at his parents doorstep in Pooler, Georgia. After roasting the coffee and getting feedback from coffee connoisseurs, Shane decided to dive into the coffee business, birthing Zaruma Beans - or better put, Z Beans. The summer leading into his senior year of college, Shane secured his first small angel investment, enabling him to import 4,000lbs of Ecuadorian coffee. During his senior year, he began selling the coffee and adding key members to the Z Beans team. Upon graduation in the spring of 2018, Shane and his team opened their first coffee shop, while importing 14,000lbs of coffee from Ecuador that summer. Over the past three years, Z Beans has continued to grow. From a 23,000lb import during the summer of 2019, to four coffee shops and a roasting facility, Z Beans has become a staple of the Middle Georgia community. However, as the business grows, one key relationship remains at the forefront - that of Arturo Penarreta Romero and Shane Buerster.
