Nobody says this if you are a woman in business, it's it's personal right somebody leaves your company. It's personal You're not making money for whatever reason.

You're very flashy You're very in your face as they say I come from this very, you know gritty kind of dirty grungy, you know masculine world and you watch Some women in politics right and they're still trying to look like the man and I don't want to look like a man I want to look like a woman because that's what I am It's fans the goal like a super high is cold into the eldest Today Apple is going to reinvent the ball. It's not over until I win living your legacy podcast for those who live to leave a legacy With the lead Welcome back to another episode of the living your legacy podcast the women in power edition stop looking at me, Rachel Where do you want me to look right here this main camera? My right here we go. We're going at the main camera For insight success. We're rigged here is a Rachel Blatt. You are our latest Anomaly of a powerful woman, but you're beyond just a woman We have learned much about you the last several hours. I'm waiting We have gone into my deep childhood issues my demons We have learned quite a bit and I've had to sort of divulge the truth and I think that's what Makes me very powerful right on. I'm not afraid of the truth not afraid of the truth Let's talk about why that is first the Troy, Michigan. Yeah start there the beautiful thing about Being a woman in power is I think women are coming into their Renaissance, right for sure and Detroit is all about its grit its passion I mean, we've had a losing football team for a really long time until last year We just turned it on and I just think it's our moment. It's Detroit's moment. It's our moment It's my moment. It's the company's moment It's like when you think as a Detroit or you look at Miami like oh, I don't know my what my ammians are like But Detroit comes from like culture it thrives in hip-hop it thrives in house music It thrives in poetry thrives in books thrives in Eminem and it thrives through truckers apparently as well. Yeah Well, listen if you imagine everything needs to go on a truck and I mean everything We were just I was just watching this documentary about like how much stuff Comes in on a boat and then guess what in order to get to where it's going It's got to get on a truck and that's sort of the the area that I play in the most, you know, and it's a it's a tough job You know, I'm always People don't understand like I'm in traffic for ten minutes Like these guys are in traffic for days, you know, and it's a stressful job and most people think But they're professionals like these are like really good good guys Taking care of their families and it's a beautiful thing to be a part of that's for sure So before we get to the stuff stuff that matters like families and feeding families and being essentially an entrepreneur that is Feeding tons of families, especially through this culture. Let's talk about being Future-casted and I don't mean that in a positive way. I mean that as a negative like it's the year 2025 These truck lines are essentially back and forth back and forth positive negative You'd think by now this would be all automated and it would be robots and I would be scanning this and that right right Yes, of course there is no there's a human touch that you can't do it that way I mean because I say yet well the problem isn't isn't the robot. It's the human being that's interacting with the robot, right and We you know, there's a lot of it like intuitive conversation that we have right between our wavelengths and the robot is not going Well, they haven't figured out how to read our minds yet. Maybe when they do but I think that's what People are missing people miss that human interaction that human touch I think we're a community of people trying to connect with each other and I think if you lose that You know AI is great. Oh my god AI it'll it'll build your business so quickly But it's the people around you that you get to experience it with right like the company isn't just Me like a company is its people. Yeah, right and so what are we doing? How are we all working together? How do we move forward? How do we influence? People to do it and an amazing way. That's awesome We need more of that energy, especially thought leaders folks that are provoking change in a very very eccentric But very flashy way. Let's talk about the very bizarre anomaly that you are which is very powerful You're in the trucking industry, which is very male dominated, but you're also into art You're very flashy. You're very in your face as they say talk about this balance. Oh, yeah Well, I think that's what makes it very special So I have you know, I'm the boss and I've got to put on this very masculine energy, right? And then I'm in trucking and I swear and And with your mouth open I Think yeah, I don't And it's been hard, right? I think you know you watch Some women in politics, right and they're still trying to look like the man and I don't want to look like a man I want to look like a woman because that's what I am right You know beauty and the brains and I just want to You know, this is this is who I am. This is my fashion and Yeah, I love art. I love collecting art. I Appreciate it. I went to art school in San Francisco. We talked about that. Oh, yeah But you know at the end of the day, it was like sort of cliche, right? It was very cliche. No, really. It's such a powerful thing to say that you kidding me anything San Francisco not in this It's all as a resume maker like no, it's just like oh he came from that source You came from that source like things were different back then and like now that we're out of mungs Other tribes you can see it. I essentially feel it. It's like a coat of armor like oh, I did my time my decade in the West Coast Yeah, oh, I love me some Carl's Jr. Though give me oh, yeah, I miss Carl's Jr. So bad Like I still think I'm like oh Carl's Jr. Oh so good But yeah, no, I think it's it's one of the you're right about finding your tribe though I think when you find like-minded people and Wherever they are, right? And and that's the beautiful thing about my company is that like I'm here in Miami And we have we have customers here and we have customers all over the country and it's getting to experience Like the world that I think that's a little bit what trucking why it's appealing to some people It's like they get to witness the beauty of our country Yeah, right and on its roads and I think it's I think it's awesome So you're basically saying it really much still needs and and it preserves a human touch like especially in trucking Yeah, because it's just the oldest way of like you're migrating Assets from one location to the other through train through trucks through any means necessary. Yeah What role do you play in all that madness for folks that are still like what does she do? So my my role really is to go out and procure the business, right? so at the end of the day like I go out and I I get business and then I find companies that Can facilitate that and then I sell it back out to them and that's ultimately what I do So I'm coordinating it. I'm pricing it. I'm solving problems I'm getting this the meat and potatoes behind what it is that a company or a person is trying to do and then I'm Communicating all that out to a truck driver, you know, if it doesn't need to go, you know air Was it planes trains and automobiles? I think that's what I mean on the fly. That was like 30 seconds ago Which is my reality is like 30 years ago now Well, shit.
