Launch of Last-Mile Mobility

Look for the positive in every situation and in every manner possible. Recently, I struggled for anything positive in the current events of my life. Two aha moments occurred. One, I realized that by simply now knowing about the possible reconning, I had power. I no longer had to guess what was happening. Two, I realized that it was now in the past and any future impact was up to me. It provided enough insight and stimulus to my renascent attitude of begin again.

As I reflect on the past year, I am encouraged and impressed with my achievements. I await the completion of the latest pitch deck creation by Vash. His synthesis of my manifestation for Rapidgo Driver’s financial model has been both exhilarating and vindicating. Having a complete pitch deck to send to potential family office investors will be a game-changer.

I now feel there is something really important to write home about. Just over twenty-four months ago I launched Rapidgo Driver as a corporation and website. The transition has been nothing less than amazing.

An idea developed from, “finding drivers for Amazon type delivery companies” through, “creating an app for Rapidgo.ca and its drivers” to adding a Delivery Driver Directory, to adding a food menu app to include drivers, to software as a service with in-app ads, cross-app ads, adding market analysis of last-mile delivery, to “First-party platform solutions for Last-Mile Mobility.

Describes Rapidgo Driver advantages to Uber Eats, Postmates, and Instacart Drivers for using the only First-party Platform Solutions for Last-Mile Mobility

A focus of mine has been to develop the Mary Boleyn Hospice Foundation Inc. Included in the financial model for Rapidgo Driver are contributions from profits to be donated to the Foundation. My hope is that Clara will someday be part of that story.

Kelowna, BC Delivery for Rapidgo

Kids; there is so much excitement surrounding a long, arduous road trip. I took a load of lighting fixtures out to Kelowna, BC in February 2007. I was a bit apprehensive leaving, even though I knew the truck was safe and I had credit cards in case of breakdown. It was the middle of winter across Canada. It takes 13 hours of driving to get out of Ontario, two days to Calgary and then arriving in Kelowna the third afternoon. Grueling. I slept for 24 hours and still felt my body buzzing from the road. Refreshed, I started back at about 4am. To look good, I took the truck through a car wash before leaving Kelowna. That turned out not to be such a great idea when the locks froze and I was on the outside of a locked, running truck, in the middle of absolutely nowhere.Rogers Pass 1 (2) (640x426)

Headed up to Rogers Pass. The Canadian military use howitzers to fire on potential avalanches. There are sections of the road that are covered in concrete to protect from avalanches every year. Rogers Pass 3 (640x426)Rogers Pass 5 (640x426)

Reached Rogers Pass. Cold, cold, cold!

I got out to take this picture and inadvertently hit the door lock on my way out. Thinking I was smart to have a backup key in my pocket, I thought I was safe until I realized that washing the truck before starting out in the cold led to the locks freezing. I went from lock to lock for quite awhile, breathing on the key and then trying it in the frozen lock. Fortunately, it finally worked. A real McGyver move.

The road my GPS gave me was actually a logging road that is not used in winter. There are no poles, lanes, roads or anything for 3 hours. Locals told me I could have died up there and not been found until Spring.Kelowna Return Beaverdale (640x426)

Got into Montana and found out the road I was on had been closed several hours before. This is the re-direct route. It took me 3 hours to go 50 miles. Couldn’t see any further than this for the entire time.Kelowna Return Rd Closed Detour 1 (640x426)Kelowna Return Rd Closed Detour 3 (640x426)

Never so glad to see an interstate again.
