He reflects on moments across his SGWS career that sparked his belief in HEART in action, from the company’s care and commitment during COVID, to everyday gestures of kindness, connection, and recognition from colleagues and leaders. To Steven, HEART is culture‑building, people‑first leadership, and the belief that small, genuine moments can fuel extraordinary impact. His story is a reminder that when we show up with honesty, agility, and respect, we build workplaces where people feel seen, valued, and inspired to thrive]]></description>

She also offers a simple but powerful challenge for everyone listening: take a moment this week to thank someone from a different team. It’s a small gesture that builds connection, strengthens teamwork, and brings HEART to life in meaningful ways.]]></description>

Eric shares why Respect has become the most meaningful HEART value to him—one he believes should be given upfront, not earned over time. He reflects on his experiences working alongside his father, a longtime Southern Glazer’s New York driver, whose strong work ethic and customer‑first mindset demonstrated HEART in action every single day. Watching his dad on delivery routes left a lasting impression, and those lessons continue to shape how Eric builds relationships, leads teams, and approaches every interaction with intention. This episode is a powerful reminder that HEART isn’t just a framework—it’s a way of life, passed down through example, lived out daily, and paid forward in how we treat the person standing in front of us]]></description>
