What’s the one thing you should always bring to Thanksgiving dinner? According to host Victoria Meyer, it’s a great conversation starter—especially about topics that matter in the chemical industry today. From questions about the future of plastics and the impact of AI to navigating a challenging job market and redefining leadership, Victoria lays out five key talking points to help spark smart, relevant discussions around the holiday table. 


Victoria explores the uneven state of the economy, the rapid adoption of AI, the real story behind plastics and sustainability, how leaders are recalibrating during times of transition, and why talent and skills gaps are shaping the future of the industry. Her practical insights deliver both context and clarity for professionals facing today’s market challenges—making this episode a timely resource for both your Thanksgiving conversations and your business strategy. 

Victoria explores the following topics: 

  • 1. Why the economy feels uneven and how chemicals give you unique insight. 
  • 2. How AI is already shaping your world—at work and at home. 
  • 3. What to say when tough plastics or sustainability questions arise. 
  • 4. How resilient leaders focus and adapt during rapid business shifts. 
  • 5. Why the biggest risk—and opportunity—is the people powering the chemical industry. 


Killer Quote: “Honestly, right now, the economy is a lot like the Thanksgiving table, the table that you'll be sitting at with all your friends and family and relatives and whatever you do. Everyone's having a different experience, but we're all in the same room.” - Victoria Meyer
