Podcast Overview

We live in a consumer driven world. $2.5T worth of products are imported annually, representing 15% of U.S. GDP. It’s time companies become fully connected to the people who make and move our products, and look for ways to improve the way we plan, buy, and move them around the world. First Things First is a supply chain show with a focus on the first mile, hosted by industry thought leader and Mercado CEO Robert Garrison. Each episode, Rob invites a guest to share their insight on how businesses can better navigate the complexities of the global supply chain by automating and connecting their first mile operations. Available wherever you get your podcasts.
