I recently accomplished the goal I set in January of hitting 10k followers by the end of year. Don't hire me to do forecasting! ha!
Given the significance of this milestone I took a moment to reflect on the journey thus far, show appreciation, and share what's coming next, basically a "State of Supply Chaney". For a little extra fun I grabbed my mic and camera and used this as an opportunity to record my first monologue podcast.
A summary of everything that Supply Chaney does along with shout-outs to supporters and role models that helped them get started or keep going:
🎙️ Blythe Milligan, Chris Jolly, and Kevin Lawton, CLTD for inspiring me to launch a podcast. Surgere and Michael Schwabe for being the first podcast sponsor. Curtis Pogue for being my first podcast guest and eventually joining the adventure, serving as the producer of the podcast.
📺 CSCMP - Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals, AGiLE Business Media & Events, DC Velocity and Gary Master for being the first to support my event coverage efforts.
👥 Christopher Pride for being my go-to from day zero of Supply Chain Social Club and jumping in as the Co-Founder. The New Warehouse for being the first partner, launching the #WarehousingAfterDark series, and Amelia Gangi for helping out with SCSC over this past summer.
🗓️ Caleb Jones for being my first sounding board to launch the event calendar and interns Madison Lawrence, Parul Dhar, Ankita Bhardwaj, Marina Sorola Yoshida, and Nicole Salinas who helped maintain the calendar and supported other social media efforts.
🗞️ The 36 contributors to the Supply Chaney Digest weekly newsletter. Too many to tag everyone, but you all know who you are!
What's next? Focused effort on being an authority on events and networking, a collaborative crowd-sourced book, and refining internal systems and processes to be a more efficient and proficient business. Onward and Upward!
