COVID-19 has disrupted life and business in so many different and terrible ways. A critical element is the impacts on the supply chain. Raw materials and finished goods are now stuck in limbo, waiting to complete their journey. And an interesting aspect of the supply chain is that companies will sell out of their raw materials before the supply chain will be able to restart. In this episode SwanLeap CEO Brad Hollister talks about transforming the supply chain, especially in the “new normal.” Brad Hoillister is the CEO of #1 fastest growing company in 2018 according to Inc. SwanLeap delivered an unprecedented 75,660.8% revenue growth over three years catapulting SwanLeap to the number one spot for 2018. SwanLeap has entered the ring with what Deloitte has identified as NextGen technology. Through SwanLeap’s rapidly deployed, custom implementation of NextGen TMS and auditing services, SwanLeap is using AI and machine learning to automate many of the manual roles in a company’s supply chain. These efforts are eliminating errors, increasing efficiencies, and improving customer relationships for businesses across the country.My favorite quotes from Brad:“We transform the way people ship and make decisions”“We provide better visibility, speed, and control and nothing else matters in our space at all”“eCommerce is exploding because of COVID-19”“You have to be able to plan for things you didn’t plan for, and that is not how supply chain works”“A lot of companies won’t be able to keep up with the changing needs of the customer” How to reach and stay connected with Brad:Email: bhollister@swanleap.comLinkedIn: Brad HollisterWeb Site: swanleap.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/theswanleap/ About PPQC:Process and Product Quality Consulting (PPQC) helps global executives tackle complex corporate challenges.To learn more about PPQC, visit www.ppqc.netSupport the show (https://ppqc.net)

After making his big return to the ring, Brad Hollister and I decide it's best to discuss some of the biggest returns in wrestling history. I know we forgot some, so feel free to correct us.

This week’s episode of “WisBusiness: The Podcast” features Brad Hollister, founder of a Madison-based logistics firm called SwanLeap. SwanLeap was named by Inc. magazine as the fastest-growing U.S. company of 2018. Hollister discusses that meteoric rise, as well as his plans for sustaining the company’s growth. Over a three-year period, SwanLeap grew from $113,000 in revenue to over $100 million, for a growth rate of over 75,000 percent. “It’s been an absolute rocketship,” he said. “The numbers look really big and impressive when they start small. But now that the numbers are big, certainly we’re seeing a lot of growth but we definitely can’t continue the percentage that got us to the notoriety nationally and internationally that we’ve had.” SwanLeap helps business customers save money on shipping costs using an artificial intelligence system. He says the company’s success is built in part on listening to clients, understanding their needs and crafting software solutions to fit those requirements. That slows down the process of activating new customers, but Hollister says it’s worth it. “The product roadmap is being defined by the customers,” he said. “We have to really listen and put ourselves in the shoes of our clients.”

This is the first official episode!You're about to listen to a conversation from a man who grew his company an astounding 75,661% over three years.That's not a typo.Entrepreneurs and anyone who wants to live your best life, you're going to want to tune in for this one.Brad Hollister shares his secrets about how he grew SwanLeap, a shipping and logistics company, to become the No. 1 fastest-growing privately-held company in America in 2018 on the Inc. 5000 list.

Tables, Ladders, and Episode 4. We spew a bunch of nonsense for a bit, than take it over to our pay-per-view correspondent Brad Hollister for a match-by-match breakdown of the WWETLCPPV.

Here's a new one. This week, Brad Hollister, myself, and our special guest, The American Sumo Mike Gamble go over this weeks wrestling news AT THE SAME TIME as we follow and watch along to Tito Ortiz vs. Alberto El Patron from Combate America from December 7th. Things get crazy. Buckle up. We don't know where we're going.

Visit http://ShannonGraham.com/contact if you are a highly committed leader who is ready for quantum leaps in your personal and professional growth. Let's talk.I have talked to a very special guest: Brad Hollister. He is the CEO of Swan Leap, which is currently the number one growing company in the United States. I asked him what he believes are some of the key factors of his company’s growth. If there were two or three pillars that were responsible for that growth, what would they be? Brad answered that the biggest thing that they've done, as far as competitors in their space omit to do, is listening to the customers about what exactly they need. He said that he had his ear to the ground about what the company is, the product division, what problems they are solving, and wherever they can position against the competitors. For him, that's a big piece because they're able to understand better the mindset of the customers. He also thought that one of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is they design a product or a solution or a service that they think is brilliant. And it might be, but it doesn't matter what you think as the entrepreneur. All that matters are what the market determines. I prompted another question: “Now that you are producing outstanding results for people, what degree it might be hard to tell about new business? do you think you're acquiring as a function of producing outstanding results for your current and previous people?” Brad responded that it’s like they're building this growing snowball of positivity and happiness. But he said that there's still been some bumps and bruises along the way. Sometimes, when there's turnover within their clients, it can be challenging for them because they don't always come at it with the same approach. He said that here's this interesting change of guard happening right now in business where there is a certain type of professional group that is looking at their vendors as opportunities and partners to collaborate. Brad noted that he loves collaborating with competitors, too. But then, there's that old school mentality of ‘beat up the vendor’. He thinks that it’s another important acknowledgment. But it's not somebody that fits their culture and their ability to do business. They had a relationship with a certain business but in the long run, didn't become sustainable for them any longer. He said that as much as they don't want to lose a customer, they can't jeopardize their employees in their vision there. Brad also discussed that one of the biggest mistakes people are making out there is: yes, your focus was the data; but what are you going to do with it? For him, it doesn't make sense to have AI machine learning big data if you can't change your behavior as a result of it. He added that we should talk about, first of all, the flexibility to rapidly change strategy like mid-day, as opposed to tracking a truck to find out it's late, but you're not going to do anything differently because of it. Moreover, he told me that he read an article recently that talked about the year 2030, and some of the really big trends that are going to be happening during that time. One of them is global empowerment. Because more and more people are going to have access to the internet, more people will be empowered. And therefore, more people will have opportunities to create businesses and income. He said that for the first time in history, the middle-class will actually be larger than the poverty class. Brad does sound like a visionary, to me. Brad mentioned that he’s building probably the coolest thing. He has this little sphere that he has in his phone of contacts of other CEOs that he can call when he has a problem or if he has a question or a challenge - personal or professional. He clarified that it does not mean like over LinkedIn or cold calling, but being genuine, meeting someone and taking a true interest in their business. He noted that he has learned it is important to have networking, not for trying to get anything out of, but offering when you think you can help. Brad summarized that if you are someone who's willing to help other people, then you create this community of connection where no one's in it for anything in particular, but you're all just there to help. For me, that is very beautiful and valuable. If you are a visionary leader who wants to quantum leap your impact and leaves a legacy of achieving the impossible, I am here and the world is waiting.
