How I Invest with David Weisburd · E406: Why AI Won't Transform Most Enterprises for 10 Years · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

I think supply chain falls into this world because I think there's a lot of properties where Silicon Valley doesn't really spend any time thinking about how is something manufactured, how does logistics work, because you're isolated.

It's a completely separate world.

So as a result, what ended up happening for a long time was you would have great commercial people

go and try to build these supply chain tech companies, but they didn't know how to build great software.

Or you would have these software people that would try, and they had no idea how the industry worked.

So that's why you have a lot of shitty software, a lot of crappy software that's been built for this industry for the last two and a half decades.

So when I looked at that, I was like, my entire life, I've never been the smartest person.

I've never been the person that's won by doing the obvious thing.

I've always gone to the corner that no one ever wanted to go to.

And I remember in my last job, I was working with one of the largest freight forwarders in the world and spending time with their operations.

This was a pretty tech-forward freight forwarder.

I remember looking and seeing that even despite how tech-forward they were, they were still tracking containers manually.

They had way more operations people than engineers.

So I was like, there probably is a gap here.

that no one's going and looking and solving.

So I left that job and I basically spent six months visiting the office of all these trucking companies and freight forwarders and warehousing companies across Yuba City, Stockton, all these parts of the industrial parts of California.

And I went to the first customer's house.

The guy had like 150 pieces of paper on his desk.

And he was typing the shipment documents off his desk one by one by one on a Sunday.

And he's like, I'm doing this instead of watching the 49ers play the playoffs.
