The Caterpillar Podcast Caterpillar Inc.

Growing up in the blue-collar region of Northeast Ohio, Brian Edwards might not have guessed where his professional career, including becoming a Caterpillar Vice President, would take him. Yet, as he watched and listened to key people in his life, and experienced life lessons that were taught in "Steel Valley," Edwards now realizes it was preparing him for the years ahead. Edwards talks about his professional odyssey, eventually putting him in the top leadership role in Caterpillar's Remanufacturing Division.

A conversation with Victoria Morrissey, Caterpillar's Global Marketing & Brand Director. Morrissey talks about her responsibilities managing one of the world's best-known brands. Since joining the company in 2017, Morrissey gives insight into what she's learned about connecting with the "do-ers," the power of emotion, and understanding what really matters to customers.

No one predicted 2020. The worldwide outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been an unexpected source of stress and adversity for many of us. The challenges are real and on-going – and for many – the ability to cope has been tested. For Caterpillar Vice President Joe Creed, his challenge has been supporting his global team while at home with his family of four. For Corinna Holt Richter, President & Chief Administrative Officer Holt Cat, it has been finding time for personal health while managing a thriving business. And, for Dr. John Pompe, a licensed psychologist and the global manager of Caterpillar's Employee Mental Health programs, finding the balance of disrupting the routine of working at home.

Joe, Corinna and John have all found new ways of coping – and we wanted to hear from them about the lessons they’ve learned about staying strong in face of challenges. Their stories about navigating the pandemic are personal, their motivations are others-centered and their sense of humor? Intact.

On this special edition of our Beyond The Iron podcast, they talked with hosts Rusty Dunn and Lisa Miller to share their personal and professional thoughts about resilience – listen to their chat.
