What personal challenges did Rachel Blatt face in her journey?
Nobody says this. If you are a woman in business, it's personal, right? Somebody leaves your company, it's personal. You're not making money for whatever reason, it's personal. A customer leaves, it's personal. And it's not. It's just the nature of business. And when you're growing and scaling a company, you feel like crap sometimes, but really it's all normal. Rachel Blatt is a resilient, trailblazing entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of Royalty Logistics. Drawing from her journey of overcoming adversity and rebuilding through entrepreneurship, she is breaking barriers in the auto logistics industry while empowering others to lead with grit, integrity, and compassion.
You're in the trucking industry, which is very male dominated, but you're also into art. You're very flashy. You're very in your face, as they say.
I come from this very, you know, gritty, kind of dirty, grungy, you know, masculine world. And you watch some women in politics, right? And they're still trying to look like the man. And I don't want to look like a man. I want to look like a woman because that's what I am.
It spans the globe like a super high school internet. Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone. It's not over until I win. The Living Your Legacy podcast for those who live to leave a legacy. That's extraordinary. The impossible. Oh, that is sensational. Chicago was the lead. Usain Bolt is the fastest man on the planet. You can live.
Welcome back to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast, the Women in Power edition. Stop looking at me, Rachel.
How does Rachel Blatt redefine success in a male-dominated industry?
I won't be looking. Where do you want me to look? Right here? At this main camera, my love. All right, here we go.
We're going at the main camera.
I got you. For inside success, we're Ray Gutierrez. Rachel Blatt, you are our latest anomaly of a powerful woman, but you're beyond just a woman. We have learned much about you the last several hours, haven't we?
Yes. We have gone into my deep childhood issues, my demons. We have learned quite a bit and I've had to sort of divulge the truth. And I think that's what makes me very powerful.
Right on.
I'm not afraid of the truth.
Not afraid of the truth. Let's talk about why that is. First, Detroit, Michigan.
Yeah, stark there. The beautiful thing about being a woman in power is I think women are coming into their renaissance, right? For sure. And Detroit is all about its grit, its passion. I mean, we've had a losing football team for a really long time until last year. We just turned it on. And I just think it's our moment. It's Detroit's moment. It's our moment. It's my moment. It's the company's moment.
It's like when you think as a Troiter, you look at Miami like, oh, I don't know what Miamians are like. But Detroit comes from like culture. It thrives in hip hop. It thrives in house music. It thrives in poetry. It thrives in books. Thrives in Eminem. And it thrives through truckers apparently as well.
Yeah. Well, listen, if you imagine everything needs to go on a truck and I mean everything, everything we were just I was just watching this documentary about like how much stuff comes in on a boat.
What does Rachel Blatt believe about the emotional resilience required in entrepreneurship?
And then guess what? In order to get to where it's going, it's got to get on a truck. Yeah. And that's sort of the the area that I play in the most, you know, and it's a it's a tough job. You know, I'm always people don't understand. Like, I'm in traffic for 10 minutes. Like these guys are in traffic for days, you know, and it's a stressful job. And most people think that they're professionals like these are like really good, good guys taking care of their families. And it's a beautiful thing to be a part of. That's for sure.
So before we get to the stuff that matters, like families and feeding families and being essentially an entrepreneur that is feeding tons of families, especially through this culture, let's talk about being future-casted. And I don't mean that in a positive way. I mean that as a negative. Like, it's the year 2025. These truck lines are essentially back and forth, back and forth, positive, negative. You'd think by now this would be all automated and it would be robots and it would be scanning this and that, right?
