Show Notes
In this episode of Watson Weekend, we explore two major stories shaking up the logistics world. 📦⚡
🔹 The ILA Union Strike: As dockworkers on the East Coast stand their ground, we discuss the potential $3.8 billion daily cost to the U.S. economy, and the ripple effects on holiday shopping, retail inventories, and global supply chains. With special guest Rajeeb Mohapatra joining the discussion, we dive deep into what this means for brands and retailers. Will Q4 be disrupted beyond repair?
🔹 Flexport’s Uncertain Future: Once valued at $8 billion, Flexport is now downsizing, losing clients, and struggling to stay relevant. Is CEO Ryan Petersen’s "Leg Up Program" enough to save them? We analyze the company's recent moves, what insiders are saying, and whether Flexport can survive or if it's already a “walking dead” company. Plus, a surprise appearance from Jason Murray offers more insight into the logistics giant's fate.
Watch now for the full breakdown of these critical topics! Don't miss out.
