    Apr 30 2025

    Most AI conversations revolve around the tech. That’s understandable, given its computational superiority and unlimited potential, especially when applied to distribution. Nick Pericle, Vice President of ProfitOptics, engages in more expansive discussions, complete with sessions of task-oriented, experiential learning.

    Jason caught up with Nick to learn about ProfitOptics’ experiential approach to creating scalable solutions and securing employee buy-in. And, yes, the pair also discuss the amazing, adaptable AI tech driving the distribution industry’s evolution.

  • A People-First Approach to Transforming HR: Revisiting Tracie Sponenberg, Chief People Officer
    Mar 19 2025

    Leading with compassion is one thing (and a good thing at that). But what if whole departments ran on a standard of sensitivity and genuine emotional concern for the people in their care, be they customers or employees? Before leaving The Granite Group to start her own consultancy, Tracie Sponenberg held the title of Chief People Officer. She’s credited with shifting the company’s human resources perspective towards compassion over compliance.

    In this revisited episode, Jason speaks with Tracie about the impetus for this mindset change, strategies for CEOs interested in making similar upgrades to their company’s HR culture, and what she’s doing now to support the meaningful evolution of workforce administration.
