What Logistics World Showed Me About Mexico Trade
2026/04/21
Most US logistics pros in the US talk about Mexico from a very surface-level approach. But most have never been on the ground to take in and appreciate the nuance that exists with our number one trading partner. I just got back from 8 days in Mexico City: four doing some hosting on the main stage at The Logistics World Summit and Expo, four wandering the Roma Norte neighborhood with my husband Badr. What I saw on the conference floor and in the streets gave me a different read on this industry's relationship with Mexico than any analyst report has and this episode talks about it all. Inside: The 26,583-person conference and 650+ booths most US freight pros have never heard ofWhy the driver shortage myth is spreading south of the border, and the pay arbitrage making it worseCargo crime realities: a transport vehicle is stolen every 38 minutes, 86% involving violenceThe USMCA July 1, 2026 deadline and why the rules of origin fight mattersHow the National Museum of Anthropology was built in 19 months with a 168-ton monolith moved 29 milesSupply chain anthropology, cacao as currency, and what ancient Mesoamerica still teaches modern freightWatch this episode on YouTube Resources: Everything is Logistics: https://everythingislogistics.comCargoRex: https://cargorex.ioInstagram: https://instagram.com/blythebrum Feedback?

Why Ocean Visibility Still Breaks at Drayage
2026/04/02
A 3PL moving 5,000 containers a year can bleed about $120,000 in avoidable detention and demurrage. Tyler Hughes says the fix is not another pretty dashboard. It is cleaner data, better reconciliation, and fewer blind spots when the container hits drayage. In this episode Why ocean visibility still breaks even when everyone says they have dataHow Vizion cleans carrier, vessel, terminal, rail, and truck events into something usableWhy standards matter less than the ugly backend work of mapping bad source dataThe real cost of dirty ETA data, including avoidable detention and demurrageWhat Tyler sees in the 2026 container trade outlook, from China to Southeast AsiaWhy drayage is still the biggest black box in end-to-end visibilityHow predictive ETA helps teams move from reactive updates to proactive planning Watch the episode on YouTube Links Learn more about Vizion: https://www.vizionapi.com/Follow Tyler Hughes on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerlh/Feedback?

90% of Warehouses Are Flying Blind. Here's What That Actually Costs.
2026/03/31
Most warehouse operators have no idea what's actually happening on their floor right now. Not a rough estimate. No idea. The WMS says one thing. Ground truth is something else entirely. And the workers running the operation walk 12 to 15 miles a day on concrete trying to close that gap. In this episode, Blythe talks with Sankalp Arora, CEO and Co-Founder of Gather AI, live at Manifest 2026. Gather AI uses drones and cameras on forklifts to give warehouse operators real-time inventory visibility with no power drops, no new infrastructure, and a facility map completed in one to two weeks. Average customer payback: 4.5 months. In this episode: How drones and forklift cameras work together to turn a warehouse into real-time inventory intelligence -- no power drops ($15,000 each to install), no Wi-Fi constraintsWhy half of every warehouse's total cost is people and equipment traveling, and what that means for where automation investment actually pays offThe "Amazon Go store" analogy: what a fully instrumented warehouse looks like in practiceWhy the average warehouse worker walks 12 to 15 miles a day on concrete -- and why fixing that is as much a retention play as a productivity oneWhat the software stack looks like on a day-to-day basis and why workers end up living in Gather AI's dashboard instead of the legacy WMSThe 3-step buying framework for operators who've been burned by big capex automation projects beforeWhat Gather AI's $40M Series B is funding and what end-to-end warehouse orchestration looks like in practice Watch this episode on YouTube Links and resources: • Gather AI website: gather.ai • Email Sankalp directly: [email protected] • Gather AI on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/gather-space-ai • Everything is Logistics: everythingislogistics.com • Freight tech vendor research: cargorex.io Feedback?

How Ryder Actually Picks Freight Tech - with Gary Allen, VP of Supply Chain Excellence
2026/03/24
Most people see a Ryder truck on the highway and think "trucking company." That's not wrong — but it's missing 100 million square feet of warehouse space and 2,000 autonomous robots. Gary Allen is the VP of Supply Chain Excellence at Ryder, and he stopped by the Everything is Logistics podcast booth at Manifest to talk tech selection, the build vs. buy debate, and what it actually takes to navigate a market with thousands of freight tech vendors when you're operating at this scale. Spoiler: it takes a team of 90 data engineers, a VC fund, and a willingness to evaluate 400+ companies before you commit to anything. —————————————— IN THIS EPISODE —————————————— □ Why asset ownership doesn't change the fundamental tech questions you need to answer first □ How Ryder evaluated 400+ warehouse automation companies in 3 years (and what makes the cut) □ Why Ryder runs ~30 different WMS systems across its network — and why that's a problem they're actively solving □ The Baton acquisition, Ryder Ventures VC fund, and why they decided to build what the market couldn't provide □ The "product mindset vs. project mindset" shift that changes everything about how you deploy tech □ Agentic AI real talk: what's actually working (call centers, document extraction, labor planning) vs. what's still early □ The warehouse automation ladder: AMRs → autonomous forklifts → storage/retrieval systems → humanoids □ What the timeline on lights-out warehouses might actually look like Watch this episode on YouTube —————————————— LINKS & RESOURCES —————————————— □ Connect with Gary Allen on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/grallen1/ □ Learn more about Ryder: ryder.com □ Ryder Ventures: https://www.ryder.com/en-us/ryderventures Previous Ryder episodes:  □ VP of Supply Chain Ops Kristy Killingbeck □ Baton's Nate Robert Feedback?

How to Tell Supply Chain Stories That Actually Land with Sofia Rivas Herrera
2026/03/17
Supply chain storytelling isn't a nice-to-have skill. It's the reason deals fall apart before the demo starts. Sofia Rivas Herrera has spent years building one of the most recognizable personal brands in freight, from a full-time role in supply chain at HP, with her sister running the creative side. We recorded this conversation live at Manifest 2026. In this episode: ▪ Why your freight tech pitch fails before it even starts (your sales team probably can't explain your own product) ▪ The avocado supply chain from Mexico: why it's called "the green gold," how organized crime is embedded in it, and why Super Bowl season triggers a demand spike in December and January ▪ Career minimalism: the Gen Z trend quietly reshaping who stays in logistics and who walks out ▪ How to pass the "gardening neighbor test" for any supply chain message ▪ Why blue is the most overused color in logistics branding, and what that means for companies willing to try something different ▪ How Sofia and her sister built a brand from scratch after her sister told her "your branding sucks" Links & resources: Follow Sofia Rivas Herrera: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sofia-rivas-herrera/Watch this episode on YouTube Feedback?

Why Cargo Crime Keeps Getting Worse
2026/03/10
Freight fraud has moved way past the old stereotype of random cargo theft. Barry Conlon, CEO of Overhaul, joins Blythe from Manifest to break down what’s actually happening in the market: more sophisticated criminal networks, more pressure on shippers to own the problem, and a growing gap between how fast freight moves and how well it gets verified. He argues that prevention matters more than recovery, because by the time you’re chasing freight down, the damage is already done.  A few standout points from the conversation: Barry says the last 24 to 36 months have brought a level of volume and sophistication he has never seen before. He ties part of the shift back to post-COVID buyer behavior and the ease of moving stolen goods back into gray markets. He says Overhaul protects about $1.4 trillion in cargo value on its platform and focuses on identifying non-compliance before it becomes a loss. He explains how fraud varies by geography, with North American fraud tactics spreading abroad while markets like Mexico and Brazil often involve more overt hijacking risk. He makes the case that cargo risk is now a boardroom issue because lost product often cannot be replaced fast enough, which turns a theft problem into a market share problem.

Delivery to Cash: Fixing Freight Invoices Before They Break with Upwell
2026/03/03
Most logistics companies are holding their back office together with "shoestring and bubble gum." When 25% of your bills get rejected on the first pass, you aren't just dealing with paperwork -- you're dealing with a liquidity crisis. In this episode, Upwell CEO Charley Dehoney explains how to automate the "messy middle" of the delivery-to-cash process. We dig into why your TMS probably isn't talking to your accounting software and how to get your money out of your customer’s bank account and into yours.

Are Bots Booking Freight Yet? Manifest Trend Check with Grace Sharkey
2026/02/19
Blythe and Grace Sharkey (Orderful; formerly FreightWaves) break down what everyone’s been talking about coming out of Manifest: agentic AI moving into real workflows, drones/computer vision becoming more practical, freight fraud getting more coordinated, and why “end-to-end visibility” still isn’t end-to-end (spoiler: carrier adoption and execution still run the show). The gist (what we cover): Agentic AI: not just demos—people are pushing it into rate negotiation and booking workflowsThe uncomfortable question: what happens to brokerage models when humans aren’t the bottleneck?Drones + computer vision: still early, but moving from “cool tech” to real use casesFreight fraud: it’s coordinated—and most companies still fail at the basicsVisibility: we keep selling the dream, but execution (and carrier adoption) keeps punching it in the faceQuick time-capsule: what 2016 taught us, what 2026 is repeating, and why insurance keeps winningTimestamps / chapters (approx): 00:00 – Intro + Grace joins04:35 – Agentic AI: what’s real vs what’s marketing10:10 – What this changes for brokers and carriers15:25 – Drones + computer vision17:30 – Fraud: why basic controls still matter25:40 – Visibility + ocean integrity31:40 – 2016 vs 2026: the industry memory test39:50 – Wrap-up + Manifest Europe note Watch this episode on YouTube Feedback?

We Rebuilt CargoRex for People Who Don’t Know What to Search
2026/02/10
CargoRex.io 2.0 is live and this isn’t a paint job. It’s a rebuild around how people actually research logistics tech when they don’t know what to search for yet. In this episode, I break down what changed, why it changed, and how to use CargoRex to move from “I think we have a problem” to “here’s the shortlist and the questions we need to ask.” What’s inside: -- A redesigned site built for faster discovery (not endless scrolling) -- A revamped search model: broad-match exploration + tighter category paths -- 3 live Buying Guides (with more coming): LogTech Implementation, Buying a TMS, and Visibility -- A stronger company listing page: integrations, associations, awards, news, white papers, case studies, and more -- Save-and-export Lists (CSV) so your research isn’t trapped in browser tabs -- Logged-in dashboards that separate your activity from what’s trending site-wide -- New contributor submissions so operators, consultants, and creators can add real-world lessons to the guides If you’ve got a logistics-adjacent business, claim your listing (free), fill it out, and make it easier for the right buyers to find you. And if you’re researching tools, use the lead form on listings so companies can see the signal that CargoRex is driving the conversation. Watch this episode on YouTube Feedback?

Why Logistics Tech Rollouts Fail (and How to Fix Them) | Nate Johnson, GLCS
2026/02/03
Everyone loves a shiny demo. Nobody wants to talk about the messy middle: implementation. That’s where budgets blow up, timelines slip, and teams quietly blame the software. Nate Johnson (CEO of GLCS) joins Blythe Milligan to break down what actually makes logistics tech rollouts work. The first question teams skip: “Why are you buying this?”Why “go-live” is not the same thing as successThe hidden costs that show up after the subscription feeWhy training and documentation decide adoptionIntegrations, EDI, and why “it should connect” is usually a lieAI in logistics: what’s real, what’s marketing, and what buyers should demand Links: Connect with Nate on LinkedIn (and you better tell him Blythe sent you)GLCS WebsiteNate's podcast, Driving Forward Watch the video version here.

Why Most Podcasts Stall: Consistency, Completion Rate, Better Packaging
2026/01/27
4.6 million podcasts exist. Only a tiny slice stay active. The difference isn’t gear or luck. It’s whether you respect the listener’s attention (and measure it). In this episode, I’m joined by my husband (and longtime podcaster) Badr Milligan to recap what we learned at Podfest Orlando and how to apply it to your company’s show. Takeaways: Track completion rate (aka average consumption). It tells you what’s working way faster than download counts.Fix your first minute. Say what the listener will get, then get to it.Stop “one recording, everywhere” thinking. Audio and video need different context and editing.Consistency is a moat. Most shows quit. That’s the opportunity.Build diehard fans you can identify and activate, not a random pile of downloads.Fav quote from the episode: “It’s never been easier to make content, but now you have to make the editorial choice of what you’re going to produce, and why?” Links:  Badr's podcast, The ShortboxJax Podcasters UnitedPodfest website Watch this episode on YouTube  Feedback?

Cold Calls, Tight Lanes, and Government Freight with Garrett Bowers
2026/01/20
Cold calls. Tight lanes. Government freight. In this episode, I’m talking with Garrett Bowers, owner of Bowers Trucking and an SPI Logistics agency owner, about what it takes to build a steadier carrier business when the market is doing what it always does. We get into why he swears by early-morning prospecting, how he thinks about tighter lanes and saying “no” to the wrong freight, and what changes when you stop treating sales like something you do only when you’re panicking. Then we go into the rabbit hole most carriers ignore: government freight. Garrett breaks down how he found opportunities around Tinker Air Force Base, what the Defense Logistics Agency actually does, and the practical first steps to get started (yes, SAM.gov is involved). Plus, the kind of freight that makes for a great story later, including hauling the Air Force One staircase. What we cover:  ▪ Why early cold calls work  ▪ How to choose lanes that keep trucks moving  ▪ Government freight basics: where to start and what to expect  ▪ The operational standard required for military shipments Watch this episode on YouTube Feedback?

Inside the Manifest Content Engine with Tanzil Uddin
2026/01/13
If you’ve ever wondered how a massive industry event like Manifest manages to feel timely, relevant, and most importantly useful, this is the episode for you. I’m sitting down with Tanzil Uddin, SVP of Content and Partnerships, to peel back the curtain on how they build a world-class agenda without falling into the vendor karaoke trap. Tanzil explains the listening tour strategy that begins almost a year in advance, where the team interviews dozens of shippers and industry leaders to identify the real world friction points in the supply chain. We discuss how they balance long term trends like AI and automation with sudden, disruptive headlines like new tariffs or geopolitical shifts. Tanzil also shares his advice for anyone looking to get on stage, emphasizing that Manifest isn't looking for product pitches. They’re looking for high level use cases and collaborative solutions. Whether you’re a first time attendee looking to navigate the Venetian or a seasoned logistics pro curious about how the industry's biggest conversations are curated, Tanzil breaks it all down with a focus on practical value over hype. What we cover: The Research Phase: How Tanzil’s team uses a listening tour to gather intel directly from shippers and manufacturers.Agility in Content: Why the Manifest agenda is never truly final until the weeks leading up to the show to ensure it reflects current market conditions.The No Sales Rule: Tanzil explains the strict vetting process that keeps product demos off the stage and puts problem-solving front and center.Speaker Criteria: What the content team looks for in a moderator and why diversity of thought is non negotiable for their panels.Mastering the Manifest App: How to use the 30 day window before the show to build a strategic battle plan and avoid the dreaded hallway FOMO.

Tariffs, Tugs, & Icebreakers: Surviving the Maritime Mess
2026/01/08
In the finale of our Best of 2025 series, we’re highlighting the modes and legalities that usually stay "out of sight, out of mind." We start with Jason Aristides of Open Tug, who is bringing tech to the 12,000 miles of US inland waterways. Then, maritime law expert Lauren Beagen joins us to break down the residual effects of the 2025 port labor strikes and the new Office of Shipbuilding. We wrap up with Grace Sharkey, diving into the "Icebreaker Race" in the Arctic and the shady reality of celebrity private label brands. Key Takeaways:   Why barges are 85% greener than trucks (and 70% cheaper). The truth about the "Hub and Spoke" model in carrier alliances. How the US is falling behind in Arctic "chess" with only two functional icebreakers.  Timestamps: 03:50 – Open Tug: Standardizing the River System 39:51 – Port Strikes & Automation 1:39:51 – The Polar Silk Road & Arctic Shipping 2:09:49 – The Private Label Paradox Feedback?
