Flexport Goes Founder Mode with Ryan Petersen

On Monday, Flexport launched a total of 20 products all at once, in what Flexport founder and CEO Ryan Peterson called a new commitment to two major releases every year, inspired by Brian Chesky’s speech on “founder mode”.

Today, Ryan joins the podcast to talk about what inspired the launch, the benefits of embracing “founder mode, and how Flexport has evolved since he rejoined the company 18 months ago after taking a brief hiatus. He also described the bigger picture for Flexport and its aspirations for the future of supply chain management.
