Dave Young:
Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast. I’m Dave Young alongside Stephen Semple, and we’re talking about empires that were built, industries that were shaken up in the process. What better one to talk about than FedEx? Well, you mentioned FedEx, but if we’re going back to the beginning, we’re going to say Federal Express, right?

Stephen Semple:
True enough, true enough. That’s right on the ball.

Dave Young:
Yeah.

Stephen Semple:
Absolutely.

Dave Young:
We’re both old enough that we remember these things.

Stephen Semple:
I’m trying to be in denial around that.

Dave Young:
As these companies celebrate their 50th year in business, and I’m like, “Oh, yeah. Yeah, I remember them coming on board. Uh-huh, yeah, sure.”

Stephen Semple:

Dave Young:
Oh my God.

Stephen Semple:
It was 25 years ago, and I’m like, “No, no, please, God, no.

Dave Young:
Well, and for 20 years I’ve been thinking that the ’80s was 20 years ago. Apparently, that’s no longer the case.

Stephen Semple:
Should we talk about Federal Express?

Dave Young:
Federal Express, absolutely. The most memorable thing about them was, first, how disruptive they were, but their ad campaign was absolutely fabulous, the fast-talking dude.
