CargoRex.io 2.0 is live and this isn’t a paint job. It’s a rebuild around how people actually research logistics tech when they don’t know what to search for yet.

In this episode, I break down what changed, why it changed, and how to use CargoRex to move from “I think we have a problem” to “here’s the shortlist and the questions we need to ask.”

What’s inside:

-- A redesigned site built for faster discovery (not endless scrolling)

-- A revamped search model: broad-match exploration + tighter category paths

-- 3 live Buying Guides (with more coming): LogTech Implementation, Buying a TMS, and Visibility

-- A stronger company listing page: integrations, associations, awards, news, white papers, case studies, and more

-- Save-and-export Lists (CSV) so your research isn’t trapped in browser tabs

-- Logged-in dashboards that separate your activity from what’s trending site-wide

-- New contributor submissions so operators, consultants, and creators can add real-world lessons to the guides

If you’ve got a logistics-adjacent business, claim your listing (free), fill it out, and make it easier for the right buyers to find you. And if you’re researching tools, use the lead form on listings so companies can see the signal that CargoRex is driving the conversation.

Everyone loves a shiny demo. Nobody wants to talk about the messy middle: implementation. That’s where budgets blow up, timelines slip, and teams quietly blame the software.

Nate Johnson (CEO of GLCS) joins Blythe Milligan to break down what actually makes logistics tech rollouts work.

• The first question teams skip: “Why are you buying this?”
• Why “go-live” is not the same thing as success
• The hidden costs that show up after the subscription fee
• Why training and documentation decide adoption
• Integrations, EDI, and why “it should connect” is usually a lie
• AI in logistics: what’s real, what’s marketing, and what buyers should demand

4.6 million podcasts exist. Only a tiny slice stay active. The difference isn’t gear or luck. It’s whether you respect the listener’s attention (and measure it).

In this episode, I’m joined by my husband (and longtime podcaster) Badr Milligan to recap what we learned at Podfest Orlando and how to apply it to your company’s show.

Takeaways:

• Track completion rate (aka average consumption). It tells you what’s working way faster than download counts.
• Fix your first minute. Say what the listener will get, then get to it.
• Stop “one recording, everywhere” thinking. Audio and video need different context and editing.
• Consistency is a moat. Most shows quit. That’s the opportunity.
• Build diehard fans you can identify and activate, not a random pile of downloads.

Fav quote from the episode: “It’s never been easier to make content, but now you have to make the editorial choice of what you’re going to produce, and why?”
