What’s the key to thriving in the workplace? According to The Six Types of Working Genius by Patrick Lencioni, it’s more than just doing a good job. Working Genius is a powerful tool for understanding ourselves and how we work with others. It helps us discover the stages of work that bring joy and fulfillment—and the ones that leave us feeling drained or burned out.In today’s exchange, Doug Bradle, Nussbaum’s Chief Operations Officer and certified Working Genius coach, unpacks the six stages of work:• Wonder – asking the big questions and imagining what could be.• Invention – creating brand-new solutions from scratch.• Discernment – evaluating and improving ideas with insight.• Galvanizing – rallying people and generating momentum.• Enablement – jumping in to help and provide practical support.• Tenacity – grit to push things across the finish line.The Working Genius Assessment identifies two areas of Genius—your natural gifts that bring energy and joy. It also reveals two Competencies—things you’re capable of doing and don’t mind—and two Frustrations—things you aren’t good at and naturally drain you. Using real-world examples, Doug shares how this framework can transform hiring decisions, team culture, and even how we relate to family and community. At its core, Working Genius helps us better understand what we want from our work—and what those around us want, too.Press play to learn more!FROM TODAY’S PODCAST• Guest: Doug Bradle, Chief Operations Officer at Nussbaum • Learn more about The Six Types of Working Genius at workinggenius.com. • Take the AssessmentLET’S CONNECT• Visit us online at terminalexchange.org • Follow The Terminal Exchange on social media! • Facebook• Instagram • XABOUT NUSSBAUM Employee-Owned, Purpose Driven | Nussbaum is an industry-leader in over-the-road freight transportation.

“God found me at my worst possible time…..cause He loves [doing] that.” James Fry is living proof that our past doesn’t have to define us. Though he’s walked many dark valleys, James has become a light for others, eagerly pointing them to a relationship with God. And as a Professional Driver and Road Captain for Nussbaum, he’s helping new drivers find their way….he knows what it’s like to feel lost. At less than two years old, Child Protective Services found James and his twin brother at home—alone—and terribly sick. After months in the hospital, they entered foster care, and didn’t meet their biological father until years later—a painful day that James will never forget. Fast forward to his 20s, and James was at an all-time low. Nothing he tried seemed to work, and he found himself struggling with alcoholism and still bearing the pain of his father’s rejection. That’s when a kind neighbor invited him to church…… Don’t miss this special episode of Terminal Exchange—press play today!

What’s it take to be successful in truckload sales? Wining and dining? The lowest rates? (hint: not that). In today’s exchange, we explore five keys to success using the acronym S.A.L.E.S. • S – Strategic Outreach• A – Aligning Internally • L – Long-term Relationships• E – Excellence in Service • S – Sustainable Growth According to Joe, Brent, and Mark, our Business Development Managers, patience and thoroughness underpin everything. To be sure, sales can be fast-paced and exciting! But finding the best customers with the right freight at the right price takes persistence. In addition to prospecting and building customer relationships, our BDMs unpack the “three-legged stool”—the importance of aligning your sales, operations, and pricing teams to find the right business for your network strategy. Checks and balances are critical, as each part brings needed perspective—sales with possibility, pricing with profitability, and operations with feasibility.

“I was just a lost, hurt soul….trying to find my way, and I just couldn’t.” That’s how Teresa describes the lowest moment of her life—homeless and hopeless as a single mom, bouncing from shelter to shelter, even fighting a legal battle for her son. But the seed of faith—planted years before by her grandfather—carried her through the storm. “The only thing I knew to do was pray…..I knew that He was there…..God never leaves you,” Teresa says. And just at the right moment, she got the chance to attend CDL School on a full-ride grant—the first step towards a new life. The past few years have been a journey, but Teresa points to God’s faithfulness again and again. With the help of generous friends and a praying community around her, Teresa found her way—out of homelessness, into trucking, and eventually to Nussbaum. Press play to hear the full, candid conversation and be reminded that, however dark it may seem, God hears and answers prayer.

Did you know that nearly 40% of U.S. adults make New Year’s Resolutions? January 1st dawns hopeful with visions of a healthier, happier, more organized life.

Around Nussbaum, Chris Chaney is known for living a full—and purposeful—life. How does he do it? Tune in to hear practical strategies for achieving that elusive prize called “change.” Chris unpacks the goal setting process, how to form habits, and evaluating the direction of your life.

“Hark, the Herald Angels sing….glory to the newborn KING.” In this special Christmas edition of Terminal Exchange, Nussbaum Chaplain Jim Revelle shares a message entitled “The Rightful King has Landed.” In it, he explores three characteristics of King Jesus in Isaiah chapter 11: How he brings justice to the poor; how his wisdom surpasses all human understanding; and his identity as the shoot of Jesse and root of David. Though Jesus never campaigned for political office, mustered an army, or sat on an earthly throne—he is the most consequential figure in human history. So, what is his mission? What kind of King is he? Where is his kingdom? Tune in as Jim shares the story.
