Ken AdamoGUEST
That's 1.0. That is not in any way.
Ken AdamoGUEST
Yeah, the new Convoy, which
Matthew M. LefflerHOST
you helped orchestrate within DAT, actually that technology stack.
Matthew M. LefflerHOST
That was one of the things I wanted to talk to you about.
Matthew M. LefflerHOST
We've seen so many deals in the space.
Matthew M. LefflerHOST
So when you were with DAT, you helped orchestrate a lot of these big acquisitions like Trucker Tools and Outgo and Convoy.
Matthew M. LefflerHOST
What do you think that companies are getting right when it comes to M&A? And what are people getting wrong, do you think? Yeah.
Ken AdamoGUEST
I mean, I can think of this now through the lens of M&A deals that would attract me.
Shane NemanGUEST
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Shane NemanGUEST
That was, uh, Convoy.
Shane NemanGUEST
Yeah, it was Convoy.
Shane NemanGUEST
Um-
Ravin GandhiHOST
And, and, and so te- how does it feel when as [laughs] a venture investor you've got, you were in early, you were proven right 'cause it gets a multi-billion dollar valuation, and then it turns and goes to zero.
Shane NemanGUEST
And then they're like, they're like, "Robots are illegal now." Right? And then your, your, your $50 billion, $50, $40 billion outcome is gone too, right? Um, it's out of your control.
Shane NemanGUEST
Uh, I can't control what I can't control, but I can make the best decision that I can with the current facts.
Ravin GandhiHOST
Well, axiomatically, I think the lesson that I take from, you know, kind of your story about Convoy or just what you just posited about the humanoid robots is the world, weird shit happens, and there is-
Julie Van de KampHOST
the trailers.
Craig FullerHOST
I mean, and that, they, Convoy-
Julie Van de KampHOST
And this will be the same thing.
Julie Van de KampHOST
There will be a learning curve there.
Jeff PalaccioHOST
Yeah.
Jeff PalaccioHOST
And, um, yeah, talk about like, it's look like, y- you know, you had various different jobs working for, you know, high pro- high, high-profile law firms and then, you know, Department of Education, uh, Expeditors, uh, Nordstrom, Convoy.
Jeff PalaccioHOST
Um, you know, you'd spent about 20 years in that life I'll get, uh, uh, and then you become CEO at some point, um, I believe at community.com.
Jeff PalaccioHOST
So talk about when did you realize, "Hey, I'm not just a lawyer, I'm an operator and a, you know, C-suite executive," basically? [chuckles]
15 MINS LATER
Jeff PalaccioHOST
I, I, I have a similar question to kind of the, the being on the client side versus the, uh, law firm side.
Jeff PalaccioHOST
So, you know, you worked at Nordstrom, Expeditors.
Jeff PalaccioHOST
W- you know, Convoy was a little different tech startup.
Jeff PalaccioHOST
Like, what was the big difference between like, you know, going from Nordstrom to Convoy? Like, "Oh my God, I didn't know this was gonna be like this."
