UPS is the most successful delivery company in the world. Established in 1907 by an ambitious 19-year-old entrepreneur, Jim Casey, UPS is rated as #48 on the Fortune 500 list for 2016. 

Today's podcast in an interview with a UPS driver, truly where the rubber meets the road in regards to delivery of the goods. Mr. Nate Way, a relatively new UPS employee (35 months), discusses his normal workday.

Driving around the rural roads of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Nate relates about the structured, operational approach that UPS applies to his daily duties. Nate explains the DIAD (Delivery Information Acquisition Device) which serves as his workday assignment checklist. He explains the magic of Orion (On Road Integrated Optimization and Navigation), used to maximize truck flow and route optimization, and how he’s accepted the worker/vehicle tracking environment known as telematics.

Mr. Way and his job at UPS illustrates the omnipresence of Big Data in Big Business and how UPS has applied metrics analysis to a company that moves over 15,000,000 packages a day.

Gary Osbrey, owner and the “Big Voice” of WINY radio in Putnam, Connecticut, describes his childhood fascination with radio and how that passion grew into ownership of his own company, Osbrey Broadcasting.

GaryO talks about radio’s influence on his life – the ability to multitask and focus on what’s next – and his influence on radio – to contribute to a sense of community.

When he’s on the air at 1350AM, he channels the force of Boston radio legend, Dale Dorman, to project positive energy throughout the quiet corner of Connecticut.

GaryO offers that success walks hand-in-hand with determination and hard work. He suggests that strong businessmen don’t oversell and maintain the long view. "Sell yourself first" and then your product. A proud citizen of Putnam, Gary offers that locals should support their town, because the local community is “the flavor of life."

Tune in and learn from this special interview with a true gentleman of the broadcast industry.
