About this episode

Dan and Erin sit down with Nick Proctor, who went from freight runner to running a $15M-a-year international freight business. It started with a simple idea — ship cars from Australia to New Zealand for less — and a $2k website and one viral post turned that side hustle into the main event.

They get into how COVID wiped out most of his revenue overnight, why he hired a head of AI, and a few wild freight facts along the way — like what 'general average' means and why you should always insure your cargo.
