Ryan Petersen is the founder and CEO of Flexport, the platform that coordinates global logistics from factory floor to customer door.
In this conversation, he’s refreshingly transparent about the mistakes and painful lessons he’s learned building several companies. He opens up about stepping down as CEO, his struggles with self-confidence, and what happened when he was forced to step in and save his own company.

Along the way, we explore why micromanagement might be the secret to better leadership, how Trump-era tariffs reveal the hidden complexity of global trade, and what it takes to scale a company without losing control.
There are stories and lessons here you won’t find anywhere else, from a data leak that triggered a call from Steve Jobs to flying 500 million masks into the U.S. during a global shutdown.
