According to ListenNotes.com, there are approximately 3 million podcasts available globally. Very few podcasts make it past the 12-episode mark, because the amount of work required behind the scenes successfully over time is often underestimated.That context makes this episode of the Supply Chain Now podcast that much more impressive: Episode 1,000.In honor of the occasion, co-hosts Scott Luton and Greg White look back at favorite guests, interviews, and moments along the way, and pause to celebrate and give thanks for the whole team that works tirelessly to turn out leading content day in and day out.It started with just one podcast per month and has since grown into a supply chain content juggernaut with around 30 episodes per month.Of note, are a few moments that stand out in Scott and Greg’s minds:• November of 2017: The very first time Scott and Greg appeared together on a podcast, not as co-hosts but as host and guest• The original inspiration for the traditional close of every Supply Chain Now episode, “Do good, give forward and be the change that's needed”• What guests and listeners may be able to expect between today and episode 2,000Additional Links & Resources:Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.comCheck out our new Supply Chain Now Media Kit: https://bit.ly/3zKRLyLSubscribe to Supply Chain Now and all other Supply Chain Now programs: https://supplychainnow.com/subscribeLeveraging Logistics and Supply Chain for Ukraine: https://vectorgl.com/stand-with-ukraine/2022 Q2 U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index: https://freight.usbank.comWEBINAR- Beyond One Number Forecasts: Why a Probabilistic Approach is Better to Manage Uncertainty: https://bit.ly/3cQAzABWEBINAR- Finance & Commercial Teams Collaborating to Improve Supply Chains: https://bit.ly/3UX1lIrWEBINAR- A New Paradigm Of Resilience: Protect Against The Next Supply Chain Crisis: https://bit.ly/3KSYdJgWEBINAR- Undermanaged Spend Categories: How GPOs Can Help Mitigate Your Risks: https://bit.ly/3SM5WeKThis episode is hosted by Scott Luton and Greg White.
