In December 2025, many of us will take part in the 30-Day Rewind Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, we’ll rewind, review, reflect or—in my case—re-blog one of my nearly 4,000 posts that highlight experiences shaping us into better versions of ourselves. If you don’t have a blog, your reflections can come from a journal or even a meaningful memory tied to something learned, a goal reached, or a personal effort to improve. These daily habits of looking back will serve as a powerful springboard for taking on a new and ambitious challenge in 2026. Today my rewind is on a revolution in SHIPPING.
If you are from Robeson County and need a success story to know about then turn to Malcom McLean. He was featured on January 14, 2016, blog post. So expert state he changed the world of global logistics.
Malcom McLean who was born in Maxton, NC in 1914. McLean was actually born with his name being Malcolm but changed it to Malcom to adhere to a more authentic Scottish spelling.

December 26th-Shipping
Malcom McLean founded Sea-Land in 1956 after pioneering the idea of standardized shipping containers. His innovation dramatically reduced loading costs and time by allowing cargo to move seamlessly between ships, trucks, and trains. Sea-Land revolutionized global trade and laid the foundation for modern containerized shipping.
Here is a history lesson.
