    Eric Einsidler, Vice President of Commercial Strategy East Region for Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits, brings a grounded perspective on what it truly means to lead with HEART values. Eric shares why Respect has become the most meaningful HEART value to him—one he believes should be given upfront, not earned over time. He reflects on his experiences working alongside his father, a longtime Southern Glazer’s New York driver, whose strong work ethic and customer‑first mindset demonstrated HEART in action every single day. Watching his dad on delivery routes left a lasting impression, and those lessons continue to shape how Eric builds relationships, leads teams, and approaches every interaction with intention. This episode is a powerful reminder that HEART isn’t just a framework—it’s a way of life, passed down through example, lived out daily, and paid forward in how we treat the person standing in front of us
