    The Hybrid eLearning Platform That Boosts Business Acumen in 10 Weeks With Jeremy Wall of GoalMakers

    Team training is hit-or-miss. Businesses either choose a generic version that doesn’t directly address their industry or a vertical-specific program that’s so complex the team fails to fully implement it.  Jeremy Wall has a simple solution. He’s the co-founder and CEO of GoalMakers, a learning platform that bills itself as the 10-week MBA. Jason chats with Jeremy about the company’s ongoing evolution, its hybrid learning environment, and its secret to providing cost-effective facilitation.  CONNECT WITH JASON LinkedIn CONNECT WITH JEREMY Website LinkedIn *** For full show notes and services visit: https://www.distributionteam.com Distribution Talk is produced by The Distribution Team, a consulting services firm dedicated to helping wholesale distribution clients remove barriers to profitability, generate wealth, and achieve personal goals.    This episode was edited & mixed by The Creative Impostor Studios Special thanks to our sponsors for this episode: Connected Peers, providing virtual communities for wholesale distributors, and INxSQL Distribution Software, an integrated distribution ERP software designed for the wholesale and distribution industry.

    Guiding the Future by Focusing on the Basics with Rhonda Wight of Refrigeration Sales Corp

    The future of HVACR distribution is already here. But if your company is solely focused on the impending changeover to more eco-friendly components, it’s missing out on future-proofing the industry’s workforce. Rhonda Wight is miles ahead on both fronts. As CEO of Ohio-based Refrigeration Sales Corporation (RSC), she believes that developing next-gen talent is everyone’s job.  Jason chats with Rhonda about her commitment to mentorship and why it’s beneficial to the entire HVACR ecosystem.

    Making The Mundane Returns Process Profitable With Alex Witcpalek of Continuum.ai

    Returns, warranties, and repairs are a headache for distribution. Much of that pain stems from the antiquated systems that most companies still rely on to process their returns. Alex Witcpalek, founder and CEO of Continuum.ai, recognized the optimization potential of this largely overlooked in-house activity and created the first B2B returns network for distributors and manufacturers.  Jason caught up with Alex during a recent conference in Chicago to find out what drew this ex-college footballer to distribution (and podcasting!), why Continuum.ai’s platform is a perfect match for a niche operation with so many variables, and how it boosts the user’s overall profitability. The pair also discuss the role that Continuum.ai’s quality culture plays in attracting and keeping a top-tier workforce.  CONNECT WITH JASON LinkedIn CONNECT WITH ALEX LinkedIn GoContinuum.ai Podcast For full show notes and services visit: https://www.distributionteam.com Distribution Talk is produced by The Distribution Team, a consulting services firm dedicated to helping wholesale distribution clients remove barriers to profitability, generate wealth, and achieve personal goals.    This episode was edited by The Creative Impostor Studios.  Special thanks to our sponsor for this episode: INxSQL Distribution Software, an integrated distribution ERP software designed for the wholesale and distribution industry.
