Description
In this episode we're taking a special trip over to the Hawkeye State, which is Iowa for those who don’t know, to visit two different Nordstrom facilities that are crucial links in our supply chain. First, we'll head to our fulfillment center in Cedar Rapids where the folks are celebrating 25 years of service. Then we'll stop into our distribution center in Dubuque to help them celebrate 30 years. Each of these locations has been absolutely essential to the growth of our business, particularly with the rise of online shopping and an increased demand for speed. These teams process enormous amounts of merchandise from thousands of vendors to nearly 350 Nordstrom stores in over 200 cities across the United States, fulfilling online orders shipped straight to your home and fielding droves of returns, which in itself could be an entire episode. Literally everything we sell goes through these buildings, from shoes to apparel, accessories and jewelry and a whole slew of home goods. It's a mammoth undertaking and these guys manage it all extremely well. So, we're going to stop in to share our appreciation and sit down with several employees to learn about what it's like to be part of the massive machine that is the Nordstrom supply chain.

Ep 3. Sub Pop CEO Megan Jasper: This episode was particularly fun for me, because I got to sit down with a few good friends, talk about music and one of them even brought cookies! My first guest is a longtime friend, a fellow music enthusiast and author of the lexicon of grunge, Megan Jasper. As the receptionist at an emerging and struggling young Sub Pop Records, Megan got a front-row seat as Nirvana changed the world of music forever. Now as the CEO, she has helped hundreds of new artists find their place in the industry. What you’re about to hear is not your typical CEO journey. Megan grew up dreading her assumed future of becoming either a stay-at-home mom, a schoolteacher or a nun, which didn’t exactly fit well with her free-spirited, punk rock lifestyle. By age 14, she was already on the radio pumping out anti-authoritarian tunes and donning a shaved head and wardrobe that made her teachers concerned for their safety. It wasn’t long before Megan started hitching rides with touri by The Nordy Pod
