What’s timeless in relocation—and what truly needs to evolve? Michelle Moore of NEI Global Relocation joins Zac to unpack the constants that define great mobility programs: principled service, doing what you say you’ll do, and elevating the experience for people on the move. She contrasts those durable fundamentals with the very real changes reshaping the work: a shift from paper-saturated processes to digital, right-sized documentation, and smarter orchestration that reduces friction for clients and transferees. The through-line isn’t technology for its own sake—it’s trust, built through clear promises and consistent follow-through.
From there, the conversation gets practical. Michelle explains the value of a relocation management company (RMC) in a modern context—why “middleman” is the wrong mental model—and traces how pricing and service evolved from fee-for-every-task to integrated programs that are easier to manage and measure. You’ll hear how NEI screens for culture fit and capabilities in every engagement, and how they close the loop with “fresh eyes and ears” feedback from teams closest to the client. The goal isn’t to do more paperwork; it’s to create better outcomes with less friction.
Whether you’re leading HR, procurement, or a mobility team, this episode is a reminder that the most future-proof strategy combines timeless principles with thoughtful modernization—and keeps people at the center of every decision.

Where is AI really headed—and what should leaders do now? In this episode, Zac Turbes sits down with Dar Andrews, CIO at NEI Global Relocation, and Jeremy Kedziora, AI professor at Milwaukee School of Engineering, to separate signal from noise. They unpack why today’s inflection point is about practical deployment, not sci-fi AGI, and how agentic systems and robotics will expand real-world impact next.
From “augmentation over replacement” to the human skills that rise in value—creativity, critical thinking, relationship-building—Dar and Jeremy lay out a pragmatic roadmap. They discuss adoption without exposing sensitive data, where AI adds immediate lift (engineering, operations, knowledge work), and how companies can upskill teams without fueling fear. If you lead in global mobility, HR, or tech, this conversation shows how to leverage AI for productivity—while doubling down on what only humans do best.

In this episode of Relocation Leader, we debunk the myths fueling the “generation gap” at work. Are Baby Boomers really technophobes? Are Gen Z employees truly that different? Our guests Michelle Facilitator and Coach at Revela and Christy Baker reveal why generational labels often mislead us – and how focusing on individual needs is a smarter strategy. The conversation is packed with eye-opening insights (and a few laughs) about what Millennials, Gen X, Boomers and Gen Z actually want in the workplace.
Plus: We explore real scenarios in corporate relocation where age is less important than life stage. You’ll learn how to bridge communication styles (yes, even Zoom and Teams vs. email vs in-person), motivate a multi-generational team, and create a culture where everyone feels valued. Whether you’re managing Gen Z interns, Baby Boomer executives, or anyone in between, Michelle and Christy will help you move beyond stereotypes and lead with a people-first mindset.

Relocation industry veterans Ben Cross (CEO of GLOMO) and Hosea Bottley (President & CEO of Aaversal Global Relocation) join Zac Turbes for a lively discussion on the future of work and mobility. They dive into the return-to-office vs. remote work debate, sharing first-hand insights on why in-person collaboration often wins. From faster training and “speed of conversation” productivity to the creative magic that happens when teams solve problems face-to-face, they make a compelling case for the power of human connection in business. Ben and Hosea recount how personal interactions – a handshake, a hug, looking someone in the eye – build a level of trust that Zoom calls and emails just can’t match.
The conversation also explores technology and adaptation in the global mobility space. The guests discuss the impact of AI on work, agreeing that while AI tools can boost efficiency, authentic human touch is more important than ever in an era full of auto-generated content. They emphasize putting a “premium on the human” to stand out from the AI noise. Beyond tech, Ben and Hosea share how relocation companies must innovate or risk disruption – from diversifying services (like adding small shipment and freight solutions when opportunity knocked) to acting more like strategic consultants than reactive service providers. Whether it’s capitalizing on new trends (hello, digital nomads!) or simply listening to customer needs, this episode is packed with actionable insights on leading through change in relocation and global mobility.

What happens when an inspector uncovers a major flaw in a transferee’s dream home? Or finds a fried mouse in an electrical panel? It sounds crazy, but discoveries like these can make or break a relocation.
In this episode, Zac sits down with Carlo Iannandrea, VP of Enterprise & Client Development at GlobeSpec, to pull back the curtain on the critical role of home inspections in corporate relocation. Carlo shares how relocation inspections are all about risk management – protecting companies (and their employees) from costly surprises when buying or selling a home.
Listeners will learn why relocation home inspectors operate differently from retail inspectors (hint: they’re not even allowed to discuss findings with the transferee on-site), how a poorly executed inspection can derail a move (and rack up thousands in extra costs), and what qualities make an outstanding inspector in this niche (spoiler: technical knowledge is just the start – communication is king). Carlo also entertains with some of his wildest on-the-job stories – from a house perched on a cliff with its own Disneyland-style elevator, to a garage that works like a car vending machine, to the heart-stopping moment he had to break news of a structural nightmare to a young family.
This conversation is a must-listen for mobility professionals looking to prevent “money pit” mistakes and anyone fascinated by the unexpected challenges lurking behind every home inspection report.
