In Episode 5, we have some fun discussing the importance of failure, why we need to eradicate the world of consultant speak (yes it’s a thing), AI in the future of work, the SDGs and why they matter in supply chain and technology. We dive into the paradigm of “wisdom from time and years experience” versus “wisdom from growth", including why disrupting change leads to professional development. We debate how to say finance and the Maryland dialect and why the Revolution may get “too hot for Linkedin”?!?Also, Deborah breaks down inventory management in Vegas and why Rebels must take risks to forge ahead.
