In this podcast Christopher Miles reads memo's from Sam Walton that were distributed to Wal-Mart employees in December 1971 along with January of 1972, and February of 1972. My goal is to inspire the mavericks of the new generations of Walmart employees as well as bring some nostalgia to those who worked hard to bring the company to where it is now. I grew up in the Walmart culture and I can say it is much different now than it used to be. If you have worked for Walmart or currently work for Walmart and would like to join me on this show, please shoot an email to Admin@MessagesFromSam.com and I will get you scheduled. I would love to have you on and discuss your experiences with Walmart. If you are a current customer of Walmart and are upset about the lack of cashiers, well you'll have to get in line on that one, because I'm with ya!
Thank you for listening and much love, Christopher L. Miles.

Messages from is dedicated to bring the nostalgia of the old Walmart culture. Read by Christopher Miles, Grandson of Alton Miles (First Vice President of Special Operations for Walmart) who met Mr. Walton many times and was raised in a heavily inundated Walmart culture.
When my Grandfather passed away, I was left with a lot of Walmart memorabilia and I wanted to shed some light on how Walmart used to operate and treat its customers. In this podcast I read a couple of different messages that Sam wrote to his employees in 1971. You can tell that in 49 years, things have changed tremendously. I do not agree very often with the new setup of Walmart and how it treats customers and employees.
Also I will be interviewing former and current employees of Walmart to gain their perspective on the company. If you have any ideas, suggest, or would like to be a part of this show, please email Admin@MessagesFromSam.com.
