User Story:
There are parallels between the relay race and my business. Trust in yourself and the partners around you is crucial. You can't do anything 100% alone. Speed comes from clean handovers and perfectly coordinated processes. When it comes to shipping my coffee beans, GLS is just as reliable and coordinated as my relay partners.
