In this episode of the ThinkFreight Podcast, I catch up with Matthew Chapa, Logistics Manager at Crunchyroll, as he returns for his second appearance on the show.
We start with some personal updates, discussing life in Texas, Matthew’s recent move from Austin to Dallas, and how he’s been adjusting to the new city during this hot summer.
The conversation then shifts to Matthew's new role at Crunchyroll. He shares insights into his transition to the company and what it’s been like managing logistics for an anime-focused business.
For those unfamiliar, Matthew provides an overview of Crunchyroll’s operations and the critical role logistics plays in supporting the company, explaining the unique logistics needs of an anime brand.
We also dive into the world of freight broker outreach, where Matthew discusses the volume of sales calls and emails he receives, the effectiveness of these outreach efforts, and what impresses him when brokers try to get his attention.
We wrap up with a fun twist, as Matthew shares his idea for a logistics-themed anime, adding a creative spin to the world of freight.
