In part 2 of our discussion with paper executive, Chris Wetherford, we dive into a variety of impactful topics. We explore the unique challenges veterans face when transitioning into civilian careers, with an emphasis on the job search process post-military service. The discussion then shifts to a bold response from an overqualified employee telling their boss, "I want to take your job," highlighting ambition in the workplace. We also touch on the importance of gratitude and making a meaningful difference in any role.

Leadership plays a key role in the conversation, from raising the standards of a workforce to offering advice on how to effectively lead teams. Finally, we close by examining how the paper industry has adapted (or struggled to adapt) in an increasingly tech-driven world. Enjoy! Cheers!
