Ep 189: The Calm? After the Storms feat. Kris Lance

On September 26th, Hurricane Helene hit Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Hurricane Milton hit Florida less than two weeks later. The stories coming from these states are shocking, devastating, and inspiring - all at the same time.

In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes back Kris Lance, Vice President and Senior Director at Una, for a monthly conversation about current news stories. Kris has experience in multiple industries and has his finger on the pulse of the trends and topics that procurement, sourcing, and supply chain professionals need to be aware of.

In this month’s discussion, Kris and Kelly talk about the lessons we can learn from Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton:

Preparation: Could other steps have helped people or businesses stay safe and whole?
Response: What did we see from the days immediately following the hurricanes’ landfalls?
Aftermath: What long term systemic changes will result from the handling of these two massive weather events?
