Andrew welcomes Jim Berlin, CEO and founder of Logistics Plus, a company he founded in 1996 and has built into a global logistics powerhouse in more than 50 countries, with $600M in revenue, customers like GE and WeWork, and a HQ within Erie, Pennsylvania’s Union Station. But success didn’t come without taking risks — and learning from failures. “I dive in with both feet without checking the depth of the water.”
In this episode, Jim and Andrew cover:
- The journey of how Jim built his company from a small operation supporting GE's transportation into a global logistics powerhouse.
- His biggest lessons, best leadership advice, and hiring mentality at Logistics Plus, which has more than 1,200 employees.
- The biggest failure of his career — launching a cargo shipping business on the Great Lakes that nearly sank his entire company.
- Stories of how simple gestures, out-of-the-box thinking, and creative problem-solving have sustained his career and the growth of Logistics Plus.
