This quote will be added soon, sorry!
Gautam Jain is the driving force behind GoComet and a disruptor in the world of logistics. A computer science graduate and top-ranking alumnus of IIT Delhi, Gautam is reshaping supply chain visibility with a bold vision and a passion for transforming the supply chain industry. While he was still in college at IIT Delhi, and along with several classmates, Gautam embarked on a tech journey with real estate startup Plat in 2014, which was acquired by Housing.com in 2015. This transformative experience ignited their ambition to tackle the complexities of another traditionally “unsexy” industry. In 2016, when Gautam and his associates first experienced exporting products from China and selling on Amazon in the US, they identified a glaring gap: while apps tracked cabs and food deliveries in real-time, the location of a $100,000 container remained an enigma in transit. With opportunity knocking, they launched GoComet to address the inefficiencies in logistics. Six months later, GoProcure, the maiden product, hit the market. Today, GoComet is on a mission to replace archaic logistics processes with AI-powered solutions. Significant milestones include: -Tracked more than 1.5 million containers globally -Secured first 500 customers -G2 quadrant leader in Supply Chain Visibility, Freight Management and Transport Management Systems (Winter 2023).Chris Zappone – Digital Foreign Editor at The Age and Host of Dark Shining Moment Podcast

April 11, 2024 - Canadian Entrepreneur Wayne Elliott and Close the Deal Ewell Smith

Wayne Elliott – Ship Recycling and Strauss Naturals Advocate  
Wayne Elliott has been in the ship recycling business for 40 years. His company can take a 1000-foot-long ship and reduce it to a pile to reusable materials. He has grown into other areas such as battery recycling. He recounts his life-changing experience with SHD, a health supplement he stumbled upon after battling angina and its debilitating symptoms. Struggling with leg cramps, shortness of breath, night sweats, and chest pains, Wayne also grappled with anxiety and a lack of energy, resigning himself to the fate of heart-related issues that plagued his family. However, upon learning about SHD through a friend in Vancouver and being inspired by studies from renowned institutions like Harvard, Wayne decided to give it a try. Astonishingly, within two weeks of taking SHD, he noticed improvements in unexpected ways – his hearing returned, and his respiratory system cleared, leading to a significant boost in energy. Over the course of three months, Wayne transformed into a revitalized version of himself, feeling as energetic as he did decades ago. This transformation propelled him into a new phase of life where he actively engaged with others, becoming a spokesperson for Jim Strauss, the creator of SHD. Wayne’s involvement extended to radio shows and lectures, allowing him to share his incredible journey with thousands of people suffering from various health issues. His enthusiasm and dedication to natural health solutions led him to become a regular guest on radio networks in the USA and Canada, where he continued to spread the word about his positive experiences with SHD and its miraculous effects on individuals dealing with diabetes, heart disease, low energy, and clogged arteries. Wayne’s story highlights the power of painless, safe, and affordable health products, emphasizing the beauty of solutions that genuinely work. His gratitude towards Jim Strauss and the Strauss Heart Drops is profound, as he believes that without this intervention, he might not have been alive today, reinforcing the transformative impact of natural health remedies in the face of life-threatening conditions. Strauss Naturals is sponsoring the show with support for our radio-minute segments. Wayne says very simply that their products saved him. He became an advocate for the company and has been working with them for 29 years. Ewell Smith – Founder of Your First Franchise! and Close The Deal
