About
The Man
Behind the Mic
Randy Vlasic is a husband, father, entrepreneur, and founder of LIWMI Logistics — and the host of the Life Is What We Make It podcast.
He believes the only things we truly control are our mindset and our daily actions. When enough people take ownership of that truth — and choose to work together — momentum happens.
Spouses. Colleagues. Customers. Friends. Strangers.
All building something bigger than themselves.
Because life isn't something that happens to us.
It's something we make.
The Story
Why "Life Is What We Make It"?
Randy didn't grow up with a blueprint. He came from a small, broken home marked by alcoholism and divorce. Stability wasn't guaranteed. Leadership wasn't modeled. Success wasn't assumed. He learned early that nothing moves forward unless someone decides to move it.
School wasn't smooth either — expelled twice, finished through summer school. Not pretty. But finished. That pattern would follow him.
By 29, he had built and sold his first logistics company in a multiple seven-figure acquisition. But the road wasn't clean. He's trusted the wrong people. Built partnerships that collapsed. Lost money chasing quick wins. Made decisions driven by ego instead of discipline. There were seasons where alcohol became an escape. Seasons where he nearly lost his marriage. Seasons where he lost parts of himself.
Then came the real tests. After COVID, the freight industry collapsed and LIWMI Logistics was on the edge. Instead of laying off his team, Randy ran two companies simultaneously under a short-term contract just to keep people paid and the lights on. In 2021, they were hacked — he had to let go of his entire team and vendors because trust was compromised. Six months of rebuilding. Starting over, again.
"There's no glory in that part. Just grit."
That single shift — from you to we — is the foundation of everything Randy does. You can't control the market. You can't control betrayal. You can't control setbacks. But you can control your mindset and your daily actions. Take ownership long enough, and you build something real.
LIWMI is a movement to drive people together — spouses, colleagues, customers, friends, strangers — to help each other and realize that moving the world forward is about all of us working together. It starts with you. It grows with us.
And underneath all of it — the mindset, the work, the people — is faith. Every time Randy's back was against the wall, God showed up and moved things forward. That relationship isn't a footnote. It's the reason the story exists at all.

How We Show Up
Core Values
Be Human, Be Kind
Everything starts here. Before strategy, before hustle, before results — be a human being. Lead with empathy. Show up with kindness. The world moves forward when people actually give a damn about each other.
Dream It, Do It
Vision without action is just a wish. Action without vision is just noise. Dream big enough to scare yourself — then get to work. The gap between where you are and where you want to be is closed one day at a time.
Own Your Shit
No excuses. No blame. No waiting for someone else to fix it. You own your mindset, your decisions, your results. Ownership is the foundation of everything worth building.
Level Up Daily
Consistent craft beats motivation every single time. You don't rise to the level of your goals — you fall to the level of your systems. Show up. Do the work. Get 1% better. Repeat.
Good Vibes Only
Energy is contagious. The people you surround yourself with, the mindset you bring, the attitude you choose — it all compounds. Choose to bring light into every room you walk into.

Three episodes that capture what this podcast is all about.
Welcome to Life Is What We Make It
Randy introduces the movement — what Life Is What WE Make It really means, why the WE is everything, and how personal mastery and collective action are the two forces that change the world.
Listen →EP 002Building Momentum When You're Starting From Zero
Momentum isn't found — it's built. Randy breaks down the daily habits, mindset shifts, and small consistent actions that compound into something unstoppable over time.
Listen →EP 003Resilience: What It Actually Looks Like in Business
The people who helped Randy build LIWMI Logistics didn't have to. They chose to. This episode is about what resilience really looks like — and why it's never a solo act.
Listen →The Third Pillar
God Is a Pillar
Personal mastery. Collective effort. And the pillar that holds both of them up — God.
Randy believes God has an identity for each of us. A purpose. A path. A specific reason you are here. That's not a vague spiritual idea — it's a conviction he's lived. When you ask God what that path is, He will show it to you.
You don't have to figure it all out on your own. You were never meant to.
There have been countless moments where Randy had done everything right — owned his mindset, put in the work, shown up for the people around him — and it still wasn't enough. His back was against the wall. Every single time, God showed up and moved things forward.
That relationship isn't a footnote to the LIWMI story. It's the reason the story exists at all. The reason you can bet on yourself. The reason you can trust the people around you. The reason you keep moving forward even when the path isn't clear.
Life is what WE make it. And we don't make it alone.
