[06.32] An overview of Envase Technologies \\u2013 what they do and how they help their customers.

\\u201cEnvase is a digital drayage intermodal platform... and we\\u2019re helping optimize terminals.\\u201d

[07.25] Larry\\u2019s founder journey, and why he decided to tackle a fragmented market by establishing Envase and taking a proactive approach to mergers and acquisitions.

\\u201cWe all got along as competitors, and now we\\u2019re all on the same team!\\u201d

[09.00] Why Larry is passionate about \\u2018getting his hands dirty\\u2019 in business, and the importance of collaboration.

\\u201cIt gets back to culture\\u2026 so we lead by example. I would never ask anybody to do anything that I haven\\u2019t attempted.\\u201d

[10.33] Larry announces some breaking news, and explains the impact it will have on the industry, and Envase customers.

\\u201cIt\\u2019s so exciting, because nothing has been attempted like this!\\u201d

[12.16] The landscape of the current market, and Larry\\u2019s reflections on the key challenges and trends.

\\u201cThere\\u2019s a real big spotlight on visibility and transparency\\u2026 but ultimately where everyone wants to get to is optimization, and that\\u2019s the thing that everybody overlooks.\\u201d

\\u201cWe still fight the fight every day about collaboration\\u2026 people want to be protective of their data, they don\\u2019t want to share, they don\\u2019t want to be friends \\u2013 so we take a very different approach.\\u201d

[19.27] From collaboration to data, the future for the industry.

\\u201cWe\\u2019ve got air, we\\u2019ve got ocean, we\\u2019ve got LTL, we\\u2019ve got truckload. We\\u2019ve got all these different modes, but nobody shares the same DNA in order to say \\u2018hey, this is how we do this better!\\u2019\\u201d

[21.23] The future for Envase Technologies.

\\u201cWe\\u2019re never happy with the status quo!\\u201d
