You know, one of the main reasons I love this channel. No AI presenter. I am sick and tired of generic channels with the same generic AI fronting it. That's why I love this channel and watch every episode. Thank you for all your hard work. It is really appreciated.

In the 70s, before they had planes, DHL would hand out free flight tickets to anyone who called them . I did it a couple of times from London to the USA . You went through a special courier customs gate and handed the documents to their rep.
It was great .

Fascinating and mostly accurate documentary on the life of DHL founder, controlling owner of United Micronesian Development Association, and Air Micronesia. I was a 20 year Continental Airlines Pilot from 1985 to 2005. I flew for the majority of my career in the Pacific route structure, based in Honolulu and for Air Micronesia/Continental Micronesia out of Guam. I never met Larry personally, but knew several people who hung out with him, air traffic controllers and old time Air Mike pilots, who partied with him, and had plenty of stories to tell. One thing that was a little obscure in the documentary was the fact that Larry eventually sold out his controlling interest in Air Mike to Continental Airlines during my time on Guam in the early '90s, which definitely pushed him over the billionaire threshold. He was a very interesting but extremely eccentric guy with highly questionable morals when it came to sexually interacting with underage girls. The kids in Palau, the Philippines, and Vietnam whom he fathered and who ended up inheriting most of his estate, went from poverty one day, to unimaginable wealth the next. Maybe there's some sort of poetic justice in that! I just hope that their vulnerable young mothers didn't squander the windfall or have the money stolen from them by unscrupulous lawyers or government officials. 👍🐻🇺🇲

Finally a premium vid worthy of being called a documentary. Well done mate, very informative!

My first job was a a courier for DHL in South America. I would pick the packages, deliver and, in between parcels, sell DHL services to banks. Thanks for the amazing story telling!

[MarkSparrow]

I absolutely love the format, tone and approach to storytelling. I'm so sick of AI clips devoid of human storytelling hitting my feed. You have a new subscriber in me, looking forward to your next post!!

I knew Larry Hillblom. I worked at DHL for 18 years. He actually told me his origin story, while doing cocaine and drinking Southern Comfort (that Larry stole from the bar at B of A building) So I’m watching this closely…because I know how DHL started.

Fascinating stuff. My first job out of high school was working for Adrian Dalsey and his wife at the San Francisco DHL hub in 1974. I can attest to the company being critically cash poor. Paychecks for our meager minimum wage were almost always delayed and the "trucks" we drove were mostly aging VW squarebacks that parts fell off of regularly. You do have it right that a new employee was told they would get to be the courier on the plane to Honolulu every once in a while. You soon found out it was Mr. Dalsey's friends who flew - they needed employees to stick around and hump those bigass rubberized canvas duffle bags full of documents to and from the airport and do the pickups and deliveries. There was a certain paranoia about the contents because of the regulations in some countries. At one point a customer was trying to smuggle Playboy and Hustler mags into Singapore as I recall. That one really freaked out management. And I vaguely remember being told to tell customers to take anything in a paper envelope out of it and just put it in the courier bag. In the plus column, Mr. Dalsey didn't drive that crappy car you're showing him standing by. He had a sweet little Mazda rotary pickup that I got to use once in a while when too many of the VWs were broken. Never met Hillblom, I was out of there by the end of summer.

Wow ! I started working for DHL right out of High School, 1984 - 2010 at JFK airport. Nobody knew how DHL got it’s name except for the recluse Mr. “H”, . DHL had great *travel benefits* . Employees could sign up to be an International Courier. We literally thought we were bringing important documents to other DHL offices, all over the world. Free flight, a few days in a foreign Country, hanging out with other DHL employees. It was great. I honeymooned in a DHL owned house in Maui, it was not a luxury house, it was a quaint, little beach house, right on the beach. Beautiful. The cost to stay there was a gift for the house like blankets, dishes, utensils, etc. I bought bath and beach towels…. This video about Mr. H is so interesting. No one knew about him, or talked about him. Who knew that being a Courier for DHL was a crime. I’m guilty. 😂 Great documentary, and very interesting. Thank you.

I'm floored by this intro! good!! Better than the majority of docs from mainstream production houses. Good job!

[Toy_Tomb]

You actually made me laugh out loud at work with “4.4 BILLION YEARS AGO…”

[jamanyana]

Story's been told many times but this is the best detailed production, great work. I like how he narrates it while drinking tea, unraveling dark mysteries. 🎉❤🇿🇦

I worked for DHL working on their system for capturing parcel information. Sending stuff is so much more complicated than you could imagine.

> will it fit in an ISO container
> can it fit in an aircraft container
> is it flammable / toxic / radioactive etc.
> do we have to "fudge" the origin labels because we are going through the middle east?

and so so so much more. things mysteriously vanishing was a "thing" and we didn't ask too many questions when some agencies told us not too.

[intrepidus]

I'm just a few minutes into this and can already tell you got a great channel. The intro alone is as high quality as any major television production if not better.

Edit: just read some of the other comments. Looks like I'm not alone in this sentiment.

The guy is sorta like John McAfee before John McAfee

I worked at a DHL Warehouse in Southern California in my early twenties. I've always wondered how payroll checks for a multinational corporation could bounce regularly.. sometimes the payroll accounts were so tight they would cut a whole area's hours in half and then say it was an accounting mistake. I guess I'll finally be finding out.

I really dig the comfy vibe! Telling a nice long story like we’re chatting over a coffee table ✨
