Supply chain professionals are regularly asked to save the day for their company… so does that make a career in supply chain an adventure?
In this episode, host Chris Barnes speaks with Megan Preston Meyer, a former insight analyst, about her illustrated book: FIFO Saves the Day, a Supply Jane Adventure. The purpose of the book is to teach supply chain principles – including stock rotation – to children.
The STEM movement aims to ensure that kids are exposed to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math – and this book makes sure that supply chain is included as well.

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton teams up with special guest host Ward Richmond (Vice Chairman, Colliers) to dig into the state of industrial real estate with Brandon Page. EVP, Head of Leasing & Customer Solutions and Glenn Wylie (Senior Managing Director, East Region at Link Logistics. The conversation frames what a “balanced market” looks like in 2025 (tight small-bay infill vs. more options at bulk) while unpacking the demand stack from e-commerce and nearshoring to data center spillovers and the renewed importance of 3PL flexibility. The group gets practical on bonded warehouses and FTZs (where and why they fit), market dynamics across the Southeast, Texas, and Phoenix, and how power availability and automation readiness are influencing site decisions. You’ll also hear how Link Logistics uses data and AI, from rent-modeling insights to faster decision support across an infill-centric portfolio (with most assets within an hour of dense populations). The throughline: customers want flexibility, optimization, and speed, and the teams that blend relationships with good data will find the next wave of opportunity first.
