PREACH.
Most ecommerce brands treat their 3PL like a landlord. A required monthly expense that they grudgingly pay and are constantly trying to minimize. But @ChadCarleton would say the best partnerships aren’t cost centers at all — they’re revenue drivers. And he's absolutely right.

No bag, no problem
BREAKING: "No bag policy" has been implemented for tonight's WNBA game in an attempt to crack down on dildo throwers.

This is the way.
I used to be an ambitious young man. Now, at 45 years old, I wake up next to my wife, cuddle our baby, and I just want more of this.

Incredible client of ours had a *huge* shipment stolen in transit, now being sold on Amazon -- confirmed with lots, packaging, etc. Anyone else have experience clearing this up?.

Don’t conflate people who dream of their chance to be violent with those who. Use violence as their last resort. Run away to safety is an option 98% of the time.
I see a lot of guys talk about “defending their family". Being ready to throw hands. Ready to protect. Ready to fight. But here’s a story that shifted my thinking…. A guy I know got into a physical altercation at Costco a few months ago. I don’t know any details. But I do know.

And squeezing their 3PL.
@unusual_whales what "eating costs" means:. – Hiring freezes or layoffs.– No raises or bonuses.– Slashed R&D.– Cutting software/tools.– Killing product lines that can’t survive margin loss.– Mixing tariffed units with pre-tariff inventory to mask impact.– Downgrading materials, packaging, or.

I have been officially replaced by AI.
Shortcut – the first superhuman excel agent – is live. While not perfect, Shortcut beats first year analysts from McKinsey/Goldman head-to-head 89.1% (220:27) when blindly judged by their managers. We even gave humans 10x more time. Try Shortcut now (before your boss does).

Sean does this. We have succeeded because he helped.
What’s the point of winning, if you don’t help your friends win too?.

Worst leader I ever worked for was the most resilient business owner. Bruno, a Sicilian restauranteur. Didn’t care about people, only product. Knew what an inch of printer paper cost. He would run customers out the door, but he survived the lows because his food was that good.

If you told me 4 years ago we’d go from shipping 250 orders a day to 10,000, all from referral business. I would have believed you. The eComm community is amazing. Long on eComm operators.

Apple…. Your 3PL shipped me my AirPod Max in a 30” x 16” x 20” box with *literally* 150 ft of paper wrap, NEXT DAY AIR!. If you need a better option, I know a guy.
