In this episode we had the pleasure of speaking with Chuck Kuzniewski, the Senior Vice President of Talent and Culture at BMAC Logistics. Chuck's journey is truly inspiring, transitioning from a career in sports announcing and wrestling promotion to a leadership role in the logistics industry.

We kicked off the episode discussing a recent article about a traffic crackdown in the Permian Basin, where Texas troopers apprehended 853 truckers and motorists over a three-day period. This led to a conversation about the importance of safety in trucking and the implications of upcoming elections on the logistics sector.

Chuck shared his unique background, including his passion for professional wrestling and sports announcing, which he pursued from a young age. His love for sports and entertainment eventually led him to work with the Harlem Ambassadors basketball team, where he traveled the world and gained invaluable experience.

As we delved deeper into Chuck's current role at BEEMAC Logistics, he emphasized the importance of a people-first culture and how he encourages others to pursue their talents. He shared insights on building effective teams, highlighting the significance of collaboration and support among colleagues. Chuck's philosophy centers around the idea that individual success is tied to the success of the team, and he believes in the power of "yes, and" from his improv experience to foster a positive work environment.

Overall, this episode is a testament to the idea that pursuing your passions and embracing opportunities can lead to fulfilling careers, even in unexpected fields like trucking.
