Why is self-development important in entrepreneurship and business life? Listen to this week's last episode with Brian Hastings, speaking about the significant mental weight entrepreneurs often face, the value of personal development resources, and taking accountable steps toward personal and professional goals! About Brian Hastings With over 12 + years in the freight brokerage industry, Brian got his start as a sales executive and quickly grew into a respected sales leader. He built his book of business to a total of $85 million, garnered multiple Presidents Club rankings, ranked in the Top 10% of the company in sales, and led in the creation of numerous satellite offices whose headcount grew by 2,400% percent in two years, earning over $100 million in sales. Brian wanted to challenge the status quo in the industry and focus on the customer experience so he created Veritas Logistics with the core belief that people are at the heart of success. In just three years, he and his business partner have grown the company into one of the Best Places to Work in Cincinnati being named finalists 2 years in a row, achieving the Fast 55 Award celebrating the fastest growing companies in Cincinnati and have generated a positive reputation across shippers and carriers alike. Brian is involved within the logistics industry and is constantly looking to expand his knowledge to better serve his team. Regarded as a thought leader, he has presented with the Transportation Intermediaries Association on topics including fraud / theft prevention and best sales strategies in a soft market. He also launched and co-hosts a podcast started in March 2024, called Logistics & Leadership, focused on the industry and personal development tools for success. Hard work, passion, and a high degree of personal accountability are core values that Brian established playing college baseball while at the University of Kentucky.
