Steel has always been the backbone of American progress; holding up our cities, connecting our communities, powering the everyday. At LeJeune Steel, it’s becoming something more: a platform for progress, where tradition and innovation forge a smarter future.

In this episode of Eleven Minutes, CEO Shane Shipman and CFO Pam Presthus join Hans Nelson, CEO of Inspire11, to explore how they’re transforming a century-old business through technology that makes the invisible visible, data that drives decisions instead of debates, and a culture where the best ideas can come from anywhere.

From reimagining supply chains to rethinking talent in legacy industries, their story shows that real disruption doesn’t happen in the abstract; it happens when leaders choose to run toward change instead of away from it.

The takeaway goes far beyond steel. It’s about the courage to break patterns, the discipline to build differently, and the vision to prove that even the most traditional industries can reinvent the future.

Alban, Hans, and Kevin sit down with Lenee Wolf, Chief Administrative Officer at Northern Trust, to explore whether today’s AI surge signals a bubble or a genuine shift. They trace past booms, look at how enterprise leaders are navigating risk, and unpack what real, practical adoption looks like inside a highly regulated institution. A clear, concise take on hype, history, and what resilience requires now.

Alban, Hans, and Kevin are joined by Joyce Mullen and Dee Burger of Insight Enterprises to celebrate Inspire11’s ninth anniversary—and to reflect on the bold next chapter: joining Insight Enterprises. Together, they discuss how this partnership came to be and how it opens the door to entirely new possibilities.
