Show by Supply Chain Careers
In this episode, Brad McGregor joins Rodney Apple and Mike Ogle to discuss a supply chain career shaped by manufacturing, procurement, aerospace, defense, and emerging technology. Brad explains why early experience on the production floor helped shape his leadership style, how moving between companies and industries expanded his capabilities, and why professionals should continue seeking difficult problems rather than comfortable titles. The conversation also explores resilience in defense supply chains, supplier relationships, AI adoption, and the need to balance speed with discipline. Throughout the episode, Brad returns to a simple career philosophy: keep learning, stay close to the work, and pursue opportunities that stretch your capabilities.Need help hiring top talent?
