Ready to navigate the complexities of the transportation industry? Join us as we sit down with Matthew Berkshire, CEO of Flow Trans, who shares his extraordinary journey from being recruited by owner Charlie Johnson during his undergrad years to becoming the head of a major logistics company. Matthew recounts his rise through the ranks, emphasizing the importance of internal growth and belief in one’s potential. Together, we explore how possessing a clear understanding of your role within a broader organizational context and continuously honing your skills can be more fulfilling than simply chasing promotions or raises.
Curious about the economic forces reshaping the transportation market? Matthew and I examine the dramatic overscaling during the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent strive towards equilibrium. We discuss the influence of socio-political events, Federal Reserve actions, and regional market dynamics. Matthew also delves into Flow Trans' commitment to sustainability and their holistic approach to environmental practices, particularly in their Chicago operations. This portion of our conversation offers a comprehensive look into the challenges and opportunities brought about by these unprecedented times.
On the topic of personal and professional growth, we discuss the timeless wisdom found in Dale Carnegie’s "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and how it continues to shape our interactions. We also tackle the nuances of generational diversity in the workplace, the evolving perception of leadership, and the art of maximizing conference connections. Tune in for practical advice, market insights, and Matthew's unique perspective on leading a thriving logistics company.
