Raw and Relentless w/ Bo DePaoli

AI Takes the Wheel: How Captain Cargo Is Re-Coding Global Freight

Move over Expedia—air freight just got its own AI concierge. In this episode of Raw and Relentless, Bo sits down with Chris Connelly, co-founder of Aircon AI and the mind behind Captain Cargo, an AI-agent ecosystem that quotes, books, and reroutes international shipments in under two minutes. They break down:

  • Why speed—not cheapest price—wins40-50 % of air-freight bids
  • How Captain Cargo pushed revenue up2.5× in 90 days
  • Wild logistics facts (80 % of aircargo rides in passenger jets!)
  • Tariff turbulence, rail bottlenecks,and the future of “Amazon-fast” B2B shipping
  • Building a VC-backed SaaS inside acentury-old industry—and the Buffalo-style culture that powers it

If you geek out on AI, supply-chainstrategy, or scaling a tech startup from napkin sketch to millions in ARR, hit play—then tell your ops team to buckle up.
