Craig Fuller comes on the show for episode 3. We jump in with a conversation about LinkedIn versus Twitter, the role of media in our industry, and the trust (or lack thereof) that the general public has for media in today's world. We do a deep dive into Craig's entrepreneurial journey, from his days working for his father at US Xpress, to eventually founding Freightwaves. We hit on the emotional toll of failure, and how Craig persevered through his own failures to turn Freightwaves into the company it is today. All this, and more in episode 3.
