Coming This Summer: Powered by People: Building a Culture That Outlasts the Founder

Powered By People book launch banner

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming summer release of Powered by People: Building Culture That Outlasts the Founder, a powerful new leadership collection by Dr. Gina Anderson and Dr. Scott Anderson, co-founders of Luma Brighter Learning.

For decades, Gina and Scott have worked alongside transportation and logistics organizations, helping leaders strengthen learning, culture, and performance. Along the way, they discovered something extraordinary: the transportation industry isn’t simply built on trucks, technology, or logistics—it’s built on people.

Powered by People captures the wisdom, values, and leadership lessons of transportation leaders who have dedicated their lives to building businesses that stand the test of time. Through authentic stories from founders, family-owned companies, and next-generation leaders, the book explores one critical question:

What happens to a company’s legacy when the founder is no longer there to lead it?  

Featuring contributions and insights from respected transportation leaders across North America, including Catherine Ezzell-Joyner (Ezzell Trucking); Collin Kottke (Kottke Trucking); Ed Nagle (Nagle Companies); Brooklyn Keizer (Keizer Companies); Mary Schaupp (LCL Transit); John Pemberton (Pemberton Truck Lines); Elise Johnson (Leonard’s Express); and Garrett Knollman (Transmark), this inspiring collection celebrates the grit, resilience, trust, faith, and human connection that have shaped some of the industry’s most enduring organizations.

Follow Dr. Gina Anderson on LinkedIn for updates on the book launch and to discover the leaders, families, employees, and communities featured in the book. Join us in celebrating what it takes to build remarkable companies and learn how to create a culture that outlasts the founder. Because trucks move freight, but people move the world.
