We started with some hot takes, especially if you’re a Chicago Bulls fan, but then we delved into the intriguing backstory of this industry disruptor.

Robert’s journey began as an early employee of G2, where he honed his skills and experience.

We explored how the recent developments, including the closure of Convoy, are set to reshape the landscape of VC-backed brokerages, ushering in a new era of possibilities.
