You can’t have revolution without evolution.
On the one hand, I want to encourage you in your grief, so that you may fully experience it in all its depth. For as an encounter with a new intensity, it is a profound experience of life and leads you back toward life again, as all things do that reach a certain degree of extremity.

Velocity
The first thing to say is this: I have not built Flexport for speed. I’ve built it for velocity . That’s an important distinction. In physics, velocity has a vector.
