On the newest episode of The FORT Podcast, our CEO, Chris Powers, sits down to talk with Robert Allen, CEO of the Fort Worth Economic Development Partnership. During the discussion, Robert had this to say about ongoing nearshoring happening in Mexico: "I don't subscribe to a notion that I'm going to wake up on a Tuesday, three years from now, and there's going to be some report that says nearshoring is complete. (…) look at what is happening in the manufacturing sector in Mexico alone. You've got a tremendous amount of name brands that are putting some large footprints just south of us. (…) I think what you're going to see is a continuation of people wanting to get to the states, wanting to get to key states in the United States that have made crystal clear that they're pro-business." The strengthening manufacturing sector in Mexico is emblematic of a desire to bring cost savings, improve supply lines, and emphasize a regional approach to distribution sectors throughout the United States. What we've seen in the growth of the manufacturing sector in Mexico is large companies' willingness to improve on the supply chain, a bullish sentiment for a firm dealing in industrial, and even more so for one dealing in Texas. Tune in to hear Chris and Robert discuss nearshoring efforts, Fort Worth's future, and more. #Leadership #IndustryInnovation #TheFORTPodcast

Every quarter Fort employees get together to discuss a book as a part of our ongoing Book Club. Our President of Fort Management, Stephen Bailey, had this to say about this quarter's book: "The third quarter book that we chose was "Leaders Eat Last" by Simon Sinek. I chose this one because it highlights how great leadership is all about putting your team first. The book digs into why leaders who take care of their people build stronger, more successful organizations. It's a fresh take on leadership that aligns with how we see the importance of culture here at Fort—fostering trust, loyalty, and teamwork to create long-term success. Plus, it's a great reminder that good leadership isn’t about power, it’s about supporting those around you." What should we read in Q4? #Fort #Leadership #BookRec
