“We bring those robots into K-12 classes to get them excited, [and] actually get [them] learning on how to use these technologies,” Guliano said. “They’re becoming more prominent in the real world.”

Thanks to the @98Ventures team for sharing about their growth in SC. These leaders provided insights about how they used custom built in-house software and apps to improve processes and the driver/customer experience. It’s inspiring to see tech as an enabler for our #SCLogistics.

A great tribute & testimonial, Scott, for a tireless advocate for our students in logistics and supply chain. We are also proud to call Chuck Baker our own at @sccompetes!

[Scott W. Luton @ScottWLuton]

Years ago, I would take teams of volunteers into elementary schools and present "Supply Chain 101", which sought to create more awareness for our industry. It was a remarkable experience. One of the many extraordinary volunteers that collaborated with us, as we went into dozens of schools here in Georgia, engaging thousands of students over the years, was one Chuck Baker.

I met Chuck probably 15 years ago, while serving as a volunteer leader within the APICS/ASCM ecosystem. He's a West Point grad that served our country in the U.S. Army. After his military service, Chuck would go on to work with Michelin for over 30 years, with most of those years being spent in supply chain leadership roles.

After retiring, Chuck's passion for serving others has kept him very busy. For the last 7 years, he's been going into schools across the state of #SouthCarolina, engaging middle school & high school students, and creating Eureka moments, mostly about supply chain - - but I bet about other bigger picture, "life" things too.

I'm proud to call Chuck a friend. And I'm gonna tell you this: our industry and this world needs a lot more Chuck Bakers.

I'm looking forward to sharing more about what Chuck is doing in a future episode of @_supplychainnow . Big shout out to Amy Sartain & the team over at the @sccompetes, for supporting these wonderful initiatives. Well done!

Folks - this is the type of #GoodNews that gets my blood going - how about you?

👉 We'll see a lot of you at #ProMat2025 next week. 50,000+ is what they are expecting. Goodness gracious! Speaking of great events, I'm looking forward to Tony Sciarrotta's great takeaways from the Reverse Logistics Association Conference this week in Vegas. I've heard nothing but GREAT things (as usual). Stay tuned! And be sure to follow @RL_Association

Folks - have a great weekend. Look for a way to lend a helping hand, no matter how big or small. All it takes to move mountains are countless, small, underappreciated nudges. Do Good (things). Give Forward (and back). Be the change. Be like Chuck.
