Legacy industries often resist disruption, yet innovation still finds its way in through those bold enough to challenge the norm. What happens when someone from modest beginnings steps into a traditional field like logistics, armed with fresh ideas and technology? Can one person's relentless drive and willingness to take risks reshape an entire industry?
Tristan Bordallo faced this challenge head-on by combining his firsthand experience from both the brokerage and carrier sides of freight. Inspired by a mentor figure who thrived in freight brokerage, he entered the logistics world determined to make his mark. Through strategic risk-taking, investing in his own fleet, and developing innovative tools to empower small carriers, Tristan transformed obstacles into opportunities and turned his hard-earned lessons into solutions for others.
Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Tristan Bordallo, Founder and CEO of Fr8topia and Iamfr8, about transforming the freight and logistics industry through innovation and grit. Tristan shares insights on bridging the gap between brokers and carriers, leveraging AI and tech to support small operators, and how staying curious and hands-on can lead to meaningful breakthroughs.
