Glenn Gooding is joined by Aaron Alpeter, Founder and CEO of Izba, to explore what drives fulfillment success and why so many brand-3PL relationships break down during growth.
They explore:

- How brand honesty helps 3PLs plan around volatility
- When it makes sense to renegotiate before contracts expire
- Why fulfillment isn’t hard, but it's complicated
Aaron shares how brands can avoid common mistakes, from overbuilding infrastructure to skipping SLAs in contracts. Glenn adds perspective on how strong relationships—built on fit and transparency—outlast any pricing model.
