Kevin chats with Rick McDonald, CEO and Founder of Rick McDonald Supply Chain Advisory, who spent over three decades at Clorox, including four years as Chief Supply Chain Officer. Drawing from his deep experience leading transformation across manufacturing, procurement, and logistics, Rick shares supply chain advice on how the industry evolved from grease pencils and overhead projectors to digital roadmaps, AI-driven planning, and consumer-obsessed supply chains. 

The conversation touches on leadership, change management, and what the future of warehousing will look like as technology and people continue to adapt.
