Meet Me for Coffee

I am VERY excited to be meeting Gad Levanon, the Chief Economist at The Burning Glass Institute and a professor of economics at NYU on the next Meet Me For Coffee podcast! 
Gad is recognized by LinkedIn as a "Top Economics Voice" and has an impressive following of businessmen and women who are seeking to better understand and apply economics to their fields! 
We will dive into what the current and future macroeconomic states hold for us, and as always, understand how those factors will impact the outlook of the freight market. 

We love coffee, and economics. Join James Bohnaker, the Senior Economist at Cushman & Wakefield and I next Tuesday for a conversation around what is going on in the US economy, and it's implications on the domestic freight markets!

You may know him for his funny freight memes and entertaining FreightCaviar content already, but let's meet Paul for coffee and also talk a little bit of current market state! Freight Caviar's exposure to so many industry participants allows them to keep a live "pulse" on the market, we will dig into some recent events and what they are hearing from their network.. and maybe some funny memes?? Come meet us for coffee!

It's time for another shipper conversation! Crystal is a wealth of knowledge, and has spent time leading both transportation and distribution teams. She is currently the Director of Distribution NA at Ingredion. I cannot wait for you to join us for a great conversation around the challenges shippers are facing in today's market and what planning for the future looks like!

Demostenes Perez is the CCO and Co-founder of IPL, a LATAM warehousing and distribution company. Demostenes is located in Panama, and we will be discussing the current constraints and affects of the Panama Canal Drought, as well as the opportunity for growth and expansion in LATAM supply chain.

It's been almost 6 months since we last checked in with Jason Miller! I'm excited to get a rundown on the current macroeconomy, and what Jason, Supply Chain Management Professor at Michigan State University, thinks about the current and future states of the freight market. Join us for coffee next Tuesday and bring your questions. 
It's not too early to start asking questions! Drop them in the comments here now and we will plan to cover them!

Meet Me for Coffee aims to correlate economics with freight markets. Every great once in a while, we get to chat with someone whose full time job is doing exactly that! Please join Samantha Jones and David Spencer, VP of Market Intelligence at Arrive Logistics, as they discuss the importance of macroeconomics on the freight market, what you should be paying attention to and why, and what the latest economic data is telling us. We can't wait to meet you for coffee!

Not all shippers are the same. Their decision processes and solution needs vary drastically based on the industries and commodities they service and produce. Join Cody Chason, Senior Logistics Manager - Americas at Elo Touch Solutions, and Samantha Jones as they dive deeper into the challenges shippers in unique manufacturing and product sectors face, how important partnerships are, and how they have navigated the last few years and their outlook on the years ahead.

We have learned that in order to understand freight market cycles we need to understand economics. Two large contributors to trucking ton miles are manufacturing and construction activity, and Michael studies both industries closely. Join Samantha and Michael, the senior economist at ConstructConnect as they discuss the most recent data releases in manufacturing and construction, and the implications they will have on trucking activity.

It's been over a year since I first connected with Mazen. I've enjoyed our conversations and learning from his unique perspectives and insights. Now, I'd love for you to join us for one of our coffee meetings so you can hear more about the work he is doing to apply economics to freight market studies! Mazen is the Staff Applied Scientist and Economist at Uber Freight, prior to joining Uber Mazen was a Research Affiliate at MIT and held various other research and data analytics roles.
