How Human Ingenuity Puts the Spark in Technology
Monday Jun 26, 2023
Monday Jun 26, 2023
Technology can’t replace essential human strengths such as creativity, vision, and ethical judgment, but it enables people to solve problems at a grander scale and speed. Technology is only as powerful as those who build, use, and improve it. On today’s episode of the Future-Focused Terminal, we’ll discuss AI, digital transformation, cybersecurity, and how humans put the spark in technology.
Join the conversation with the Future-Focused Terminal's host Seana Fairchild and guests Matt Kozar ConGlobal's VP of Sales and Marketing and Mark Mills technology innovator in AI and vision-based solutions for the transportation sector.
Key takeaways from this episode:
The value of AI isn’t the systems themselves. It’s how companies use those systems to automate routine operations and free up employees for more critical tasks.
There are multiple components that enable machines to learn, understand, and interact with the world around them.
There's no consistent definition for digital transformation, so initiatives can trip up when their objectives don’t align with a unified roadmap.
There are many business pressures that companies face in the context of digital transformation.
AI could be the most significant technological leap forward since the internet. Business leaders and decision-makers deploying AI apps and other digital technologies must decide how best to promote digital trustworthiness.

Managing Mental Health in the Workplace: A New Role for HR
Wednesday May 31, 2023
Wednesday May 31, 2023
HR pros face many tough situations during their careers. One of these challenges involves learning the signs and mannerisms that could suggest an employee is struggling.
If an HR professional isn’t trained in this topic, they may turn a neutral situation into a negative, snowballing problem.
However, HR teams who help eliminate stigma, increase awareness, and provide resources to address issues can improve employees’ way of life and empower them to be better in the workplace. Join the conversation with the Future-Focused Terminal's host Seana Fairchild and guests Norma Martinez ConGlobal’s Director of Human Resources, Dijana Karajic, ConGlobal’s Director of Total Rewards and HRIS; and Lauren Slye, MBA, LPC, a Behavioral Clinical Strategist from Cigna.
Key takeaways are:
HR professionals, employers, and people managers play a significant role in the lives of their employees.
Breaking down barriers and eliminating the stigma around mental health encourages employees to get the help they need.
There are signs people managers should take note of that indicate an employee is struggling, and Lauren provides tips for how managers can tee up help and resources.
Help looks different for everyone. There are different types of therapy, and you should “try” a therapist out, and if the care doesn’t meet your needs, it’s OK to switch.
The perception of mental health varies by generation. Older generations view mental illness or struggle as a sign of weakness, and are unlikely to admit to experiencing problems. In comparison, younger generations have a higher level of mental health literacy.

ConGlobal’s Rebrand, Service Stacking, Tech, & Sustainability
Thursday May 04, 2023
Thursday May 04, 2023
In our first episode, host Seana Fairchild and guest Brant Ring discuss the reasoning behind the ConGlobal rebrand, the idea of service stacking, and how our tech ecosystem yields terminal and yard efficiencies and sustainable results.
Key takeaways:
If the endpoints aren't working well then it's unlikely the supply chain is working well.
We're unlocking value for our customers by offering them a single platform with a "get out of bed factor" that guides our team's definition of success.
The pandemic accelerated and magnified problems that already existed in the supply chain.
The future of supply chains is digital and automated, but we will always need people to drive our business forward.
Our technology, created by operators for operators, increases our flexibility and effectiveness.
The future is a circular economy where we must redesign our take-make-waste system to deliver on our every day mission of taking care.
