  • #38: Earning Your Commute — Accenture's Marty Rodgers

    19/05/2023 Duração: 32min

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — My guest today is Marty Rodgers. Marty’s the senior managing partner and market unit lead for Accenture’s D.C. office.  I met Marty years ago at our alma mater Notre Dame during a board of trustee meeting on campus. We've been ships passing in the night r ever since., so I've admired him mostly from afar but always found him to be honest, kind and compelling.  It was a real treat to get to sit down with Marty all these years later. And we did so in a pretty iconic locale having this conversation in the executive boardroom of Accenture’s Global CEO Julie Sweet perched at the top of the firm’s newest D.C. office.  Marty’s been at Accenture for 25 years and leads 22,000 people. So we covered a lot of ground, particularly how Marty thinks about the future of education, the return to the office, how he plans to earn his people’s commute and why he believes life is a contact sport. Without further ado, here’s Marty Rodgers.  This podcast is a production by Everyday Content. https://ever

    CHICAGO, IL — My guest today is Mike LaVitola. Mike is the Founder and Chairman of Foxtrot, a modern-day convenience store headquartered in the Windy City. Mike and I sat down in Foxtrot’s global flagship store to discuss the growth of the brand he started a decade ago as a hungry  MBA student at Chicago Booth. Specifically, we delve deep into how Foxtrot has evolved from being a dream digital-only corner store with less than 30-minute delivery to a rapidly expanding national brand with locations in Chicago, D.C., Dallas and Austin. Mike and I cover a lot of ground on all things Chicago, hospitality but, most importantly, what it means for a brand to truly create a third place in society where customers are excited to not only transact in but also belong to. He’s certainly won me over. Without further ado, here’s Mike LaVitola.

  • #25: Are You Ready to Uproute? — Travel Advisor Sam Viola

    02/05/2022 Duração: 01h16min

    CHICAGO, IL  — My guest today is Sam Viola, Founder of Uproute Travel. I first met Sam three years ago during a hot summer’s day in Chicago, watching the England vs USA women’s semi-final at Cleo’s Pub in West Town. The blue sky quickly turned to rain, and I invited Sam and his two female chaperones (who turned out to be his sisters) under the umbrella for shelter. We got chatting, and the rest is truly history. Almost three years later, Sam and I have become incredibly close friends and partners to each other on and off the field. Sam came into Breakouts III in January of 2021, crushed it, landed his first client off the back of Demo Day, and recently completed his year-long School Fellowship. A year on from Demo Day, Uproute Travel is a reality. Not just an idea. And Sam is no longer stuck behind a Zoom screen but rather travelling to a new country each month. I am incredibly proud of his progress and was blessed to get some time to sit down with him to reflect on this fantastic journey during his three wee
