On this episode, we interview John Stenderup, Strategic Sales Executive for C.H. Robinson. We discuss what growing up on a farm was like, studying international ag business at Cal Poly, and transitioning to supply chain management, logistics, and global trade for fresh produce. We also get into what his recent Mount Everest climb was like. Needless to say, it’s a jam packed show!

John talks about learning about hard work doing odd jobs on the farm and how that established a foundation for him later in life. We discuss the disruption of technology in agriculture in the past 10 years and how that will continue to change the industry at a faster pace. John highlights the importance of relationships, networking, and partnering with academia to push innovation.
