This week we're bringing you one more episode to wrap up 2023 and set up 2024. Over the last few weeks, we've been looking back at some of the excellent conversations we've been delighted to host on this podcast. This episode, which features some of the highlights from our Leadership & Training playlist, includes snippets from discussions with Brian Dey, senior merchandiser and natural stores coordinator of Four Seasons Produce; Rick Stein, vice president of fresh foods at FMI The Food Industry Association; Tami Martin, human resources director at Black Gold Farms; Armand Lobato, longtime produce retail professional and columnist; and Scott Schuette, a veteran executive whose tenure has included stops at Fresh Thyme Market, Sprouts Farmers Market and Bashas'.

Here's that playlist dedicated to conversations with produce managers and topics particularly relevant for this critical group.
