In this episode, Nick & Tyler talk through the emotional side of building a business — the doubt, the grind, and the quiet moments where it feels like nothing is working. Inspired by a post that hits close to home, they open up about the mental weight of leadership, how to tell when “hard” is part of the process or a sign to pivot, and why success comes not from certainty, but from showing up anyway.

My guest today is Cliff Sosin. Cliff is the founder of CAS Investment Partners, a fund he started with $5 million in 2012 and has grown to $1.7 billion as of the last reported numbers at the end of 2024. At the time, CAS had only four positions. This conversation is different to our typical episodes. We start by talking about Cliff's investing philosophy but the bulk of this long discussion is a case study into his remarkable investment in Carvana. Cliff is one of the biggest investors in the business, which had a market cap over $60 billion in 2021, then fell 99%, survived, and now has a market cap approaching $50 billion again. While I hosted Carvana's CEO, Ernie Garcia, last year to get the inside perspective on managing through such turbulence, today we hear the investor's side of this extraordinary story. It is a singular episode and there are so many lessons in this rare opportunity to hear a major investor describe his decision-making process at every stage of the journey. Please enjoy my great conversation with Cliff Sosin.

We are so back! Total Quality Logistics (TQL), the nation's second-largest freight broker, is under fire in a new federal lawsuit filed on Feb. 25 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.Pink Cheetah Express LLC, a small Kissimmee, Florida-based motor carrier, alleges that TQL has flouted a 2023 Department of Transportation order mandating compliance with federal broker transparency rules. The suit, which seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, reignites a long-simmering debate over rate transparency in the trucking industry – just as freight markets brace for new tariffs.The complaint centers on TQL's alleged refusal to provide Pink Cheetah with transactional records for 15 loads hauled over the past three years, despite a Nov. 30, 2023, order from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. That order, issued after an investigation sparked by Pink Cheetah's 2023 complaint, directed TQL to ditch contract language waiving carriers' rights under 49 CFR 371.3 – a regulation guaranteeing carriers access to broker records – and to comply with future transparency requests. Pink Cheetah claims TQL has done neither, accusing the Cincinnati-based brokerage of “arrogantly” acting “above the law.”What does TQL say?

If you're following the tariff discussion, you better understand IEEPA. This post aims to make sense of IEEPA, which is a US federal law enacted in October of 1977, & signed by President Jimmy Carter in December of 1977. It grants the President broad authority to regulate international commerce & economic transactions during a declared national emergency.Let me be clear, this is not intended as a pro or anti Trump post. This is simply how I answer a question I have been getting a lot lately: "How can Trump unilaterally implement tariffs absent congressional advice & consent?"As a refresher, the American constitution established three co-equal branches of government: legislative, judiciary, & executive. This separation of powers was a critical concept to the framers. Having lived under them, many framers feared autocrats & believed that this balancing act among the branches would prevent the rise of autocracy. But power accretes more power. And once gained that power is difficult to relinquish. In an emergency, the President gains enormous power, like going Super Saiyan. And you want that. If there is a hurricane or an earthquake, you want the President to act. But what is an emergency & who declares it such? Why the President, of course!Since the founding of our republic, the executive branch has gained enormous power. Democrats & Republicans alike have pushed the envelop ever further with each party greedily waiting to take the reins back. In my opinion, our executive branch has never been more powerful than it is today. We live in a time of perpetual emergency in order to circumvent the switch breakers the framers installed. Is this what we want?This program is brought to you by DAT Freight & Analytics.

MyCarrier began a fight with project44 that they could never win. In a closely watched dispute over API services in the logistics industry, the Delaware Court of Chancery has found that MyCarrier likely did breach its contract with project44 both by "building behind" project44 as well as transitioning to an alternative provider, SMC3. Despite the likely breach, the Court determined that project44 failed to show irreparable harm, a key requirement for injunctive relief & denied project44's motion for a preliminary injunction against MyCarrier.

In this installment we talk about the Freight Essentials v. GlobalTranz & Worldwide Express, a lawsuit filed by Dylan Admire of Freight Essentials containing some pretty wild allegations. Disclaimer: This is just the Complaint & the Defendants have not filed their Answers yet. Everything in the Complaint will remain allegations unless & until we have a finding of fact by the fact-finder. In this case, a jury. Disclaimer over. Let's get into it. GlobalTranz is accused of misrepresenting transportation costs to business development companies (BDCs), which caused them to lose out on their portion of gross margin splits, the commission payments they were contractually entitled to. These costs included fuel surcharges, cargo insurance, & bad debt reserves. A little bit of extra "juice" for the bottom line. This discrepancy was allegedly brought up to the powers that be. Then things got wild.Freight Essentials' largest customers were allegedly poached by Worldwide Express through an extension of a credit of over $1.5 million to one client & credits of $100,000.00 to another. Then Worldwide Express allegedly pretended to have acquired Freight Essentials to further move customers away from the agency. This program is brought to you by DAT Freight & Analytics.

Are you feeling the tension between being the visionary leader your business needs and effectively managing your team? As the year comes to a close, do you find yourself reflecting on the ambitious goals you set—and wondering if you're giving yourself enough grace for what you did achieve? In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy invites you to examine the critical balance between leadership and management. Kris opens up the conversation with the striking statement: "A lot of people who start businesses are very good at leading because they're visionaries, they are motivating, they're inspiring... but maybe terrible at managing." And here's the issue that she has seen many visionaries experience. She identifies that while many entrepreneurs possess the vision and motivation, they often miss out on the crucial organization and structure that managerial skills bring to the table. Not neglecting those on the other end of the spectrum, Kris also brings to light the potential pitfalls of leaders who excel at managing but struggle to inspire and motivate their workforce. Often, she explains, these skilled managers tend to get too deep in the details and lose sight of the larger picture and purpose. Kris notes, "You have to understand the dynamics of both. How do I leverage the hearts and minds and hands of other people to achieve the result I want? And how do I envision that result in a way that helps others be excited, be a part of it, and it becomes integral to the culture?" As we wrap up the year, Kris challenges you to reflect on your own leadership and management skills, offering an invaluable perspective that just might lead to your breakthrough and take your business and your team to the next level. Key Takeaways From This Episode Performance and Growth: Understanding the annual growth, performance, and progression. Distinction between Managing and Leading: And the need for a balance between the two. Clarity on What the Entrepreneur Role Entails: Description of common gaps in leadership and management skills Invitation for Listeners to Reflect on Their Skills and Their Goals.
