What if school lunches could do more than feed children? What if they could help improve health, support learning, and create a brighter future?

In this episode of the I Love Learning podcast, Dr. Gina Anderson sits down with Thursall Cellé, founder and co-executive director of Food Paradigm, to explore how better nutrition can make a lasting difference in children's lives.

Thursall shares her inspiring journey from electrical engineering to advocating for healthier school meals, including how her personal health challenges sparked a passion for nutrition and helping others. Together, they discuss the importance of providing children with nutritious, high-quality meals, the challenges of transforming school food programs, and how one person's determination can create meaningful change.

This conversation is a reminder that you don't need to have all the answers to make a difference. Sometimes, creating change starts with curiosity, courage, and a willingness to learn.

In this episode of I Love Learning, Gina Anderson talks with Jerry Curl, co-founder of Beyond the Truck, about driver wellness, personal growth, and finding purpose beyond the road.

With nearly five decades of experience in transportation, Jerry has witnessed firsthand the challenges professional truck drivers face. From long hours and isolation to the emotional toll of being away from family, drivers carry much more than the freight behind them. Jerry believes it's time to change that conversation and help drivers recognize their value beyond the truck.

Through Beyond the Truck, Jerry and his team are creating resources, coaching programs, and supportive communities designed to help drivers build resilience, improve their health, develop a positive mindset, and rediscover their sense of purpose.

During this episode, they explore why taking care of the mind, body, and spirit is essential, how small daily decisions can lead to lasting personal transformation, and why connection and community are so important in an industry where loneliness is often part of the job.

One of Jerry's most powerful messages is that we can't change the miles behind us, but we can make better decisions about the miles ahead!

What does it really mean to move from success to significance?

In this episode of the I Love Learning podcast I sit down with Dan Carroll, Regional President of Performance Foodservice and author of The Significance Code.

Dan has a way of looking at leadership that goes beyond titles and accomplishments. He believes we should never stop growing and that some of our greatest opportunities come from helping the people around us reach their potential. We talk about servant leadership, lifelong learning, finding purpose, and why success alone may not be enough to create a truly fulfilling life.

One idea from our conversation that really stuck with me is Dan’s belief that we all need four people in our lives: a mentor, a peer, a mentee, and a truth teller. We talk about why each of those relationships matters and how surrounding ourselves with the right people can challenge us to keep learning and growing.

Dan also shares what inspired him to write The Significance Code and why he believes there is always more we can learn, more we can give, and more impact we can have.

🎧 Watch the full episode and join us as we explore what it means to not only achieve success, but to build a life of significance.

In this episode of The Courage to Create, Dr. Gina Anderson sits down with James (J.R.) Boyce, a professional truck driver and creator of Trucker Tote, to talk about how a real-life safety concern on the road inspired him to start developing a solution for drivers.

J.R. shares a frightening moment when an unsecured object flew across his cab after hitting a pothole, distracting him at exactly the wrong time. That experience helped shape his idea for Trucker Tote and his belief that even small improvements can make a meaningful difference in driver safety.

But J.R.’s story goes far beyond one invention. He talks about losing approximately 370 pounds, learning to improve his life through small, consistent changes, and applying that same mindset to finances, product development, entrepreneurship, and problem-solving. Even while continuing to work long hours as a professional driver, he is learning how to take an idea from prototype to product and discovering what it means to create something that could positively impact his industry.

This conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to see yourself as an inventor or entrepreneur to become one. Sometimes you simply have to recognize a problem you understand better than most and have enough courage to take the next small step toward solving it.

What does it take to turn years of industry expertise into something new?

In this episode of The Courage to Create, Dr. Gina Anderson sits down with Curtis Garrett, CEO and Co-Founder of Lateral, to talk about entrepreneurship, innovation, and his journey through the Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) industry.

Curtis shares why his path to entrepreneurship wasn’t one giant leap, but a series of what he calls “incremental courage," small decisions to follow his curiosity, share his perspective, and put his voice into the world.

That journey ultimately led him to create solutions designed to make LTL easier to understand and navigate. Curtis explains how Lateral is working to simplify the complexity between LTL carriers, shippers, and brokers from pricing and analytics to carrier selection and routing.

What if AI could help us become more human, not less?

In this episode of the I Love Learning Podcast, Dr. Gina Anderson sits down with Britta Miano, founder of AI QuantumLead, for a conversation about artificial intelligence, transportation and logistics, entrepreneurship, leadership, company culture, and having the courage to take a risk on yourself.

After nearly 15 years in the freight and logistics industry, Britta made the difficult decision to leave a career and company she loved to pursue her dream of entrepreneurship. She took everything she had learned about freight operations, sales, customer service, relationships, and business growth and began exploring how AI could solve real-world problems without sacrificing the human connection that makes transportation work.

Britta's philosophy is simple: AI shouldn't replace what makes us human. It should give us more time to do it. And for anyone sitting on an idea but afraid to take the leap, Britta offers an important reminder: give yourself permission to dream.

As technology continues to reshape supply chain and logistics, Nyssa offers an important reminder: there are people behind every process, and they want their work to matter and their voices to be heard.
She also shares she hopes to be the kind of leader who advocates for people, asks the right questions, and isn’t afraid to challenge the way things have always been done.

On this special edition of On the Front Line: The Safety, Learning & Operations Podcast, Dr. Gina Anderson, speaks with Ben Fiore, Terminal Manager at Eagle Transport Corporation in Tampa, Florida.

Ben leads a fleet responsible for the safe and timely delivery of petroleum products. In an industry where precision, trust, and communication are critical, his work keeps operations running smoothly every day.

But his impact goes beyond the terminal.

As a lifelong Scout and honoree recognized by the National Tank Truck Carriers, Ben saw a gap between the trucking industry and the next generation. Instead of waiting for change, he created it.

Through the Truck Transportation Merit Badge Academy with the Boy Scouts of America, Ben has introduced more than 100 Scouts to careers in the fuel and trucking industry. By bringing real trucks and professional drivers into the experience, he gives young people a hands-on look at the work that keeps the country moving.

His leadership is grounded in a simple belief: the world moves forward because of people who do the right thing, even when no one is watching.

If you care about leadership, workforce development, safety, and building the future of the trucking industry, this conversation is worth your time.

Leadership shows up in the small moments.

In this clip from On the Front Line: The Safety, Learning & Operations Podcast, Graig Morin, founder of Brown Dog Carriers, shares a personal story that reflects the values behind his leadership.

The month Graig lost his grandfather — a World War II veteran — he stopped at a corner store, bought 50 sandwiches, and brought them to the veterans home where his grandfather had lived.

No announcement. No cameras.
He just showed up.

That moment says a lot about who Graig Morin is — not just as a trucking leader, but as someone deeply committed to community, service, and doing the right thing.

It’s a powerful reminder that the best leadership often happens quietly and without recognition.

Watch the full episode to hear more about Graig’s approach to trucking leadership, driver safety, and building a people-first company culture.
