    A Sustainable Future

    A Sustainable Future

    Across virtually every industry, there is a massive effort underway to use fewer natural resources and more renewables. From reusable drinking straws to the insulation in our walls, we are striving for a more sustainable pathway into the future. Manufactured housing presents a unique solution that virtually eliminates waste during the building process, while also requiring less water and electricity each month.  

    William Jenkins is Director of Environment and Sustainability at Clayton Homes.  We sat down to discuss how Clayton is diverting thousands of tons of unnecessary construction waste from landfills, smart features that help residents save on utilities, and a sustainability pledge to plant millions of trees in 2022.

    Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia

    Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia

    Shakin Shaner is joined by Kevin and Jeremy, two fellow veterans on a complete geek out on the book, Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia. 

    Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a fourteenth story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer.  It turns out that monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows. Officially secret, some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. On the other side are the people who kill monsters for a living. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit.

    It’s actually a pretty sweet gig, except for one little problem. An ancient entity known as the Cursed One has returned to settle a centuries old vendetta. Should the Cursed One succeed, it means the end of the world, and MHI is the only thing standing in his way. With the clock ticking towards Armageddon, Owen finds himself trapped between legions of undead minions, belligerent federal agents, a cryptic ghost who has taken up residence inside his head, and the cursed family of the woman he loves.

    Business is good . . . Welcome to Monster Hunter International.

    Guest: Attorney Steve Bell discusses the legalities of vaccine mandates; Consumers show little patience for supply chain disruptions; A report from the MHI Annual Conference

    In this episode, our guest is Steve Bell, an attorney for the law firm of Dorsey and Whitney LLC. Steve specializes in labor and employment practice and is here to discuss the ramifications of the Biden administration's new Covid-19 vaccination mandates for federal employees and companies with more the 100 workers. What are the requirements and when are they expected to go into effect? Will these mandates survive the many legal challenges they will face? Steve is here to give us his insights and experience into the laws surrounding employment practices.

    While consumers certainly know there are supply chain problems that keep them separated from the goods they desire, they seem to have little patience when it comes to delays. A recent survey shows consumers hold the same expectations they have had during the past year or more. What should shippers expect from consumers as peak season approaches?

    The MHI Annual Conference was held in Arizona this past week. A lot of the discussion surrounded the current state of our supply chains and how the industry is poised to meet the challenges we face. In this episode, we report on some key themes and sessions from the conference.
