The episode was recorded in front of a live audience on November 7, 2023, in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Newsome (‘76, ‘77) earned both a bachelor’s and MBA in transportation and logistics from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, before embarking on a more than 40-year career in container ships, ports, and international transportation.
