“Our team is made up of people that have heart, which you can’t teach, and who have the expertise to be able to help us carry forward the vision.”

– Tracie Ohonme, co-founder of Samaritan’s Feet

 

Most people strive to reach a place in their lives when they are comfortable, and their situation is predictable. Emmanuel and Tracie Ohonme reached that point and realized that they were being called to do more. They had seen kindness and generosity modeled by others and seized the opportunity to enter a rewarding but uncertain full-time ministry.

Samaritan’s Feet was started in 2003 with the “big, hairy, audacious goal” of providing 10 million pairs of shoes to 10 million individuals over the next 10 years. 18 years later, they have provided 8 million pairs of shoes in 108 countries and over 435 U.S. cities.

In this episode, Tracie and Angela tell the Samaritan’s Feet story to Co-hosts Enrique Alvarez and Scott Luton:

· How Samaritan’s Feet makes the presentation of each pair of shoes a personal and transformative experience for the recipient

· The ways in which they have changed their outreach to be able to continue giving during the COVID-19 pandemic

· The challenges and power of managing with a servant leader mentality

Supply Chain Leadership in the Never Normal: A Power Panel of Supply Chain Leaders Rewriting the Rules

Operating conditions for supply chains continue to shift faster than most organizations can plan for. Labor pressures, evolving customer expectations, geopolitical uncertainty, and increasingly complex global networks are forcing leaders to rethink how decisions get made and how teams stay aligned when certainty is no longer guaranteed. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton is joined by Mario Morhy, Vice President, Integrated Planning at Sam’s Club, Mike Gomes, Vice President of Supply Chain North America at Perfetti Van Melle, and Rodrigo Alponti, Senior Vice President Global Supply Chain at STADA Group. Together, they reflect on how supply chain leadership has evolved over the past year, moving away from linear optimization toward adaptability, resilience, and closer collaboration with customers and partners. The panel also explores how AI is accelerating the pace of insight and action, enabling faster scenario planning, stronger visibility, and more empowered teams. Rather than replacing people, AI emerges as a decision-making copilot, freeing leaders to focus on risk, tradeoffs, and long-term value. The conversation closes with practical leadership takeaways on learning faster than competitors, asking better questions, and building cultures that can turn volatility into advantage.   This episode is hosted by Scott Luton, and produced…
