  • UNCHARTED: How to Maximize Your Business Potential For Lasting Success
    Sep 4 2025

    In today’s marketplace, understanding your numbers is more than just a survival skill; it’s essential for having honest and productive conversations with clients, as it provides clear evidence of where bottlenecks exist and why they occur.

    Pursuing excellence often means taking risks, particularly in the constantly evolving supply chain landscape. Embracing failure is a crucial step toward discovering the best path forward, and committing to continuous improvement is vital.

    While the idea of ongoing improvement can feel overwhelming, it encourages collaboration on how to enhance our processes and work with clients to uncover optimization and new opportunities.

    In this episode of the BOLD Business Podcast, you’ll discover that rapid changes are necessary to uphold standards and get the job done. By leveraging data and technology, you can identify problems and explore possibilities, while maintaining a clear focus on your goals to avoid confusion about opportunities.

    Jess Dewell engages in a conversation with Colby Varley, Vice President - Partner at Advanced Transportation Services, discussing how he navigates the constant changes in the dynamic world of transportation logistics — from overcoming unexpected hurdles during peak holiday shipping periods to utilizing data to foster trust and long-lasting client relationships. He emphasizes that it’s BOLD to embrace change by thoroughly understanding your business.

  • Addicted to Stress? Recognize, Recover, and Reclaim Your Life
    Aug 28 2025

    The “grind” is often romanticized, yet there exists a wealth of joy, fulfillment, and accomplishment waiting for you beyond the brink of burnout.

    Challenging your internal beliefs, especially the limiting ones, can feel daunting and overwhelming. Simply posing the question, “What else is possible?” provides a brief pause — just a moment is all it takes to reconnect with your core values and make intentional choices about how to engage in the present. Fortunately, there’s a science-backed approach that can help shift the direction of your life.

    In this episode of the BOLD Business Podcast, you’ll discover that burnout is a stress disorder and learn how to move away from a zero-sum mentality. Instead, you’ll focus on cultivating hypervigilance and awareness, understanding that the human body is designed to handle stress, which unfolds in stages with a beginning, middle, and end.

    Jess Dewell engages with Scott Anderson, Burnout Breakthrough by Doubledare Coaching, to discuss the reality of burnout as an extension of stress that can be transformed. They explore why self-care alone is insufficient and may even exacerbate feelings of burnout, emphasizing that an internal mindset reset is the true key to overcoming burnout.

    Aug 21 2025

    What happens when you choose the less obvious or counterintuitive option at a fork in the road? The way you recognize the choice before you and how you approach making that decision can significantly impact what comes next. Establishing a routine is helpful; making and keeping promises to yourself is essential, and believing in yourself is a necessity.

    In this episode of UNCHARTED, you will discover the benefits of keeping promises to yourself, how to embrace the unknown at each fork in the road, and how to reflect on your actions to see how you are shaping the future. You’ll also learn to leverage the momentum that comes from small successes, which can accumulate over time.

    Jess Dewell speaks with Tessa Thomas, Co-Founder of Pipeline Solutions, about harnessing the power of persistence and resilience in uncertain times, as well as what makes it BOLD to walk the less-travelled path.
