Transfix Take Podcast | Ep. 85 - Week of Feb 15

Ralph Martinez, a Puerto Rican from the Bronx, found himself on 34th Street and 6th Avenue in the 80s with a suitcase of $12,000 in cash. He was sent overseas on his first logistics adventure to secure a deal with a new customer. It might sound like a scene from a movie, but this was the start of a decades-long fruitful career leading to being a logistics manager at Relatable. Listen as Ralph emphasizes the value of building relationships in logistics and the need for importers to establish the rules of engagement. Ralph also highlights the importance of experience and empathy in the industry, as well as the need for a balance between old-school methods and modern technology. He encourages leaders to take risks on individuals with strong work ethics and to foster a collaborative and team-oriented mindset.
