Full of Ship Podcast: Real Answers to Real Problems

It’s time to demystify the chaotic, often turbulent world of ocean freight. There are simpler ways to get more done in the supply chain. Join host Kyle Henderson, the co-founder & CEO of VIZION, for Full of Ship, a podcast that offers a new generation’s radically fresh take on the supply chain. Kyle and his guests have honest, simple conversations about the latest industry developments and how technologies can help solve the problems faced by freight forwarders, carriers, shippers, and procurement specialists.

For years, you’ve been stuck in a rut doing things the same way. It’s time to break out of that comfort zone! All it takes is a willingness to absorb and adopt technologies in place of your previous workflows. It sounds daunting, but it does not have to be. It only feels complex if you think of the enormity of it all. Change is never easy and seldom comfortable, but that’s where this podcast can help.

We discuss real solutions to real problems from a truly collaborative perspective. It’s no longer about, “What’s in it for me?” It’s about, “What can we accomplish together?” That requires not just information-sourcing but info-sharing — and in real-time. Let’s tear down the walls preventing informed decision-making and impeding progress. Join us for every episode of Full of Ship by subscribing from your favorite podcast platform.

About VIZION
Vizion was founded by Kyle Henderson and Tyler Hughes, who, while leading product teams at supply chain control tower companies, learned firsthand the challenges in accessing the fundamental datasets needed for shipment visibility, primarily containerized freight. Their vision was to create a simpler, faster, more accessible data-rich protocol that would empower the next generation of container tracking technologies and companies. And so Vizion was born. With instant access to the most complete, standardized, and detailed container tracking information available, forward-looking companies can create more powerful and agile solutions, delivering greater supply chain visibility and control for their stakeholders without and within.
