Dial P Crossover: Real World Advice from a Life Well-Lived
We all have advice from a trusted source that we carry with us everywhere and always. For Dial P host Kelly Barner, much of that advice came from her dad. In this uniquely personal crossover episode, which first aired on what would be Timothy J. McCarthy’s 71st birthday, Kelly shares the best of his advice so that you can benefit from it too.• Embrace ownership in your life, whether that means learning to ride a bike or admitting to your mistakes. Unless you own your shortcomings, you can’t own your successes.• There is no substitute for hard work, certainly not luck – don’t ever point to luck. Call your shot and then go get it; don’t let anyone or anything slow you down.• It doesn’t matter what your goal is or who you are. All that matters is that you have the dedication and perseverance to make your vision a reality.Additional 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 Q3 U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index: https://freight.usbank.comThis episode is hosted by Kelly Barner.
