December 30, 2024

The need for flexible logistics solutions is at an all-time high. In this week’s episode of Disruption Interruption, Shaun Savage, CEO of GoShare, explores how his innovative platform is revolutionizing last-mile and middle-mile delivery. By leveraging tech-driven solutions, GoShare empowers small businesses to thrive in today’s fast-paced economy. Discover how emerging trends, including autonomous electric vehicles, are set to shape the future of logistics in the years ahead.

TAMPA BAY, Fla., Dec. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — With 40% of Americans turning to side hustles and nearly half starting them to make ends meet, flexible opportunities in industries like logistics are more critical than ever. (1) In this week’s Disruption Interruption podcast, Shaun Savage, CEO and Founder of GoShare, joins host Karla Jo Helms (KJ) to discuss how his tech platform is revolutionizing last-mile and middle-mile delivery, creating opportunities, driving efficiency in logistics, and empowering small businesses to thrive in an evolving economy. ” For a business to be successful, they have to be able to move goods around quickly. We’re not just reinventing the wheel; we’re making a better wheel,” explains Savage.

From Paper Trails to Seamless Solutions in Delivery
For years, the retail logistics industry relied on outdated methods to move goods. Local delivery drivers were contracted regionally, orders were taken via phone, and deliveries were organized using paper records or fax machines, explains Savage. This led to prolonged delivery times, often spanning weeks.

“The retail industry noticed that they had to be able to deliver goods quickly to compete with today’s e-commerce options like Amazon and Wayfair,” points out Savage. Recognizing this challenge, GoShare emerged as a transformative force in logistics. By leveraging an array of different technologies, the platform created a faster, more efficient, and user-friendly solution.

Future Supply Chain Trends: The Rise of Autonomous Vehicles
Logistics will continue to be heavily influenced by emerging technologies, and according to Savage, autonomous electric vehicles are expected to be the next game changers. Over the next few years, we could see these vehicles integrated into platforms like GoShare, especially for middle-mile deliveries.

While fully autonomous vehicles may not yet be suitable for complex last-mile deliveries, where human interaction is often necessary, their potential for larger, less intricate logistics tasks is undeniable.

“In the coming years, we’ll likely see autonomous vehicles becoming an integral part of the GoShare network, especially for middle-mile deliveries, offering a glimpse into the future of logistics,” mentions Shaun. The ability to move goods over longer distances without human drivers could dramatically reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Turning Delivery Challenges into Innovation: Shaun Savage’s Path
Shaun shares his experiences managing a house painting business during college revealing a common frustration faced by many contractors: the struggle to get supplies delivered efficiently. Every morning, he would wait in line at the paint store, pick up materials, and juggle deliveries to multiple job sites. When crews ran out of supplies at midday, someone had to go back to the store, wasting valuable time.

At that time, large retailers didn’t offer delivery services, leaving contractors to handle logistics on their own. “Now we are one of the primary delivery solutions for that same paint company. It’s a cool full-circle story,” Shaun says.

Vipboss Marks Earth Day with Renewed Commitment to Green Energy Solutions

Published

April 18, 2026

NEW YORK, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Earth Day draws global attention to environmental responsibility, Vipboss, a specialist manufacturer and developer of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs for energy storage and mobility applications, is underscoring its long‑term commitment to sustainable energy practices through its Environmental Advocacy. This advocacy is devoid of ornate language; its inspiration stems from the brand’s unwavering conviction in LiFePO4 batteries as a green energy solution. To align this message with practical action, the brand is also running a themed sales campaign on its official website during April 18th to 30th. It highlights how practical product solutions, rather than abstract concepts, can support cleaner energy use in everyday life.

Across the world, energy consumption patterns are undergoing rapid change. Households, outdoor users, and light‑mobility sectors are increasingly seeking energy systems that are safe, sustainable, and low‑emission. Within this shift, LiFePO4 batteries have emerged as a preferred technology for clean‑energy applications. Their long service life, high safety profile, and absence of cobalt, which is an element associated with higher environmental and ethical risks, position them as a responsible choice in the global transition toward greener power.

LiFePO4 technology forms the foundation of Vipboss’s approach to sustainable energy. Its extended cycle life reduces the frequency of battery replacement, lowering resource consumption and easing the environmental burden associated with disposal. The material’s inherent stability also minimizes the risk of thermal runaway, offering a safer experience in homes, recreational vehicles, and public environments. In practical use cases such as home backup systems, RV travel, and golf‑course operations, LiFePO4 batteries deliver efficient storage and stable output, helping reduce reliance on fossil‑fuel‑based energy sources and supporting lower‑carbon lifestyles.

Vipboss’s environmental advocacy extends beyond the technical advantages of its products. The brand promotes responsible energy use as an integral part of sustainable living, emphasizing that product design and informed application must work together to achieve meaningful environmental outcomes. As a provider of energy solutions for home, travel, and leisure scenarios, Vipboss continues to participate in the long‑term process of green transformation through ongoing technological refinement and product evolution.

Earth Day serves as a reminder that lasting environmental impact is built through small, consistent actions. Looking ahead, Vipboss will continue advancing safer, more durable, and more efficient energy products that support individuals and families in adopting more sustainable energy habits. Through these efforts, the brand aims to contribute enduring value to the wider adoption of clean energy and the collective pursuit of a more sustainable future.

Pastor Dino Rizzo Marks 100 Days to Serve Day Ahead of Global Outreach Initiative

Published

April 18, 2026

Pastor Dino Rizzo highlighted the milestone of 100 days until Serve Day 2026, as thousands of churches prepare to serve their communities through coordinated acts of kindness on July 11.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pastor Dino Rizzo joined church leaders and teams on April 2 to mark 100 days until Serve Day 2026, a global outreach initiative set for July 11. The milestone brings together more than 2,900 churches preparing to serve their local communities through practical acts of kindness and outreach.

Serve Day, led by many churches within the Association of Related Churches, provides a coordinated opportunity for churches worldwide to engage their cities and demonstrate their faith through service. Pastor Dino Rizzo, who serves as Executive Director of ARC, emphasized the significance of the initiative as both a single-day event and a broader movement.

“Serve Day provides churches across the world with opportunities to serve their local communities and share the love of God through practical acts of kindness,” Rizzo said. “Our hope is that serving others becomes our focus throughout the year.”

The April 2 milestone reflects growing participation and anticipation among churches globally. Leaders are currently equipping teams, organizing projects, and connecting with local communities in preparation for July. Churches that join the initiative gain access to resources, including the Serve Day playbook, monthly leadership calls, and a private online community designed to support collaboration and planning.

Pastor Dino Rizzo has long championed the role of service within the church through the Servolution movement. Introduced through his 2009 book Servolution: Starting a Church Revolution Through Serving, the concept calls churches to embed serving into their culture rather than limit it to occasional events. The message has since influenced hundreds of churches across multiple countries, including the United States, Peru, New Zealand, and Poland.

“Serving is not just about an event. It is about building a culture where meeting needs and reaching people becomes part of who we are,” Rizzo has shared in previous teachings, reinforcing the long-term vision behind initiatives like Serve Day.

In addition to leading Serve Day, Pastor Dino Rizzo continues his work with ARC, which has planted over 1200 churches and continues to train and equip new church leaders. His involvement in conferences, leadership development, and global outreach initiatives reflects a consistent focus on sustainable church growth and community impact.

Churches interested in participating in Serve Day 2026 can learn more through ARC’s official website and access resources designed to support local outreach efforts.
