Every career has a starting point — and sometimes it’s far from the boardroom. In this episode, Jeff Burgess looks back at the early warehouse job that unexpectedly became the foundation for everything that followed.

Jeff shares how sweeping floors, organizing inventory, and learning products from the ground up gave him an education no textbook ever could. Those early lessons shaped how he built trust, earned credibility, and connected with people at every level of business — from manufacturer reps to executives. He reflects on why humility, curiosity, and shared experience create stronger teams and better leaders.

A reflective, insight-driven episode about why starting at the bottom isn’t a disadvantage — it’s an advantage — and how the lessons you learn early can carry you all the way to the top.
