It’s incredible how down to earth Twitterless Victor is. Just saw him at Nassau airport. The girl behind hm asked what he did. Hovland: ‘I live in Oklahoma and play a bit of golf’. Come on! You are actually the world No9!!! #HeroWorldChallenge

For young industrial brokers and really any broker who cares about their long-term success and rep, don't let current success degrade your standards of service. Things change. If you can't respond to inbound requests today, you won't get them tomorrow.

@JeffBezos pays a lot of people to shape his public image. @BradStone is not one of them. His new book "Amazon Unbound" provides the most robust and unvarnished account of the man behind the biggest business explosion of a generation. Buy it and read it. You will learn.

Ever-accelerating customer delivery demands x supply chain disruptions x CV19 = booming air cargo demand$. We've been predicting surging air freight for a while: taking off. @CushWakeINDSTRL @CushWake #ecommerce #aircargosurge #supplychaindisruption supplychaindive.com/news/air…
Sea-to-air conversions drive up airfreight rates on Transpacific

Sea-to-air conversions drive up airfreight rates on Transpacific

Tight capacity and volatility in the air cargo market leads many shippers to seek longer-term contracts with their carriers.

Sick of all your furniture? Soon you can trade in your sofa

Some 12 million tons of furniture ends up in a landfill annually. Sabai's buyback program is hoping to change that.

I'd love, and know many others would, if you two would do a regular podcast together. I used to enjoy you two together back in the day that I didn't set or accept meetings between 2-4 and had an Outlook reminder to help be sure I didn't miss GWG mails, etc.
One headwind to e-commerce post-COVID is the additional cost. Consumers who are making the delivery decision today in large part due to health concerns will be much less likely to do so given the additional fees ow.ly/2Y7d50BRpqc
