Ker shares his perspectives on the ongoing trade tensions, the geopolitical landscape, and the role of multinational businesses amid evolving global strategies.Introducing Ker GibbsConnect with KerKer Gibbs brings a wealth of experience from his tenure as the president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai. An executive in residence at the University of San Francisco and a partner at Foresight Restructuring, Ker has also co-authored "Selling to China," offering an in-depth exploration of foreign business adaptations within China.Understanding Trade Disputes and the Geopolitical LandscapeKer and Art discuss the ever-changing trade disputes between the U.S. and China, emphasizing the fluidity and complexity of negotiations. Ker highlights how changing U.S. strategies, particularly during the Trump administration, contributed to the tensions around tariffs and broader trade issues. The conversation delves into key obstacles in the bilateral relationship, including questions of sovereignty, economic supremacy, and military containment.The Role of Made in China 2025The discussion shifts to China's "Made in China 2025" initiative, which Ker notes has been less publicly discussed in recent times. However, the ambitions to dominate in areas like robotics and artificial intelligence continue to influence perceptions and policies in Washington, contributing to trade tensions. Ker explores how such initiatives may appear threatening to the U.S., given differing historical and economic perspectives.Multinationals Navigating Decoupling ChallengesAs the conversation continues, Ker offers insights into how multinational companies are adapting to the challenges of decoupling and increased self-sufficiency. He discusses the restructuring required for global businesses to operate in a siloed model, emphasizing the resilience and adaptability needed by companies in these complex scenarios.The Symbiotic U.S.-China RelationshipThe podcast also covers the intricate and symbiotic economic relationship between the U.S. and China. Ker and Art debate how both nations face significant domestic political pressures, affecting global trade and decision-making processes. They examine how multinational companies might engage with these political landscapes, providing potential pathways for future cooperation.Bridging the Policy and Business DivideKer stresses the importance of multinational companies playing a role in bridging policy and business divides, especially in the context of globalization. He argues that while businesses are inherently driven by profit motives, they can still contribute to societal solutions by understanding the broader policy implications of their operations.Conclusion: Optimism and Future OutlookIn closing, Ker Gibbs remains optimistic about reaching a trade agreement, considering the potential economic harms that could arise from prolonged disputes. The podcast ends with a reflection on the importance of continual dialogue and foresight in restructuring global strategies to enhance resiliency and cooperation between the U.S. and China.Listeners interested in further information can connect with Ker via LinkedIn, Facebook, or Instagram, where he shares continued insights on U.S.-China business dynamics.

Originally uploaded March 28th, re-edited April 16th. Jeffrey Mosher welcomed back LEO Director Susan Corbin with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity. Recently , The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) joined local business and community leaders in Lansing to discuss how Gov. Whitmer's proposed FY26 budget will strengthen job training. Can you speak to expand apprenticeships and removed barriers to employment? Can you share more about the roundtable's highlights? [the direct impact these investments will have on Michigan workers and employers—including $19 million for Registered Apprenticeships, $40.4 million to support students with disabilities and $7.5 million to help workers overcome employment barriers.] Please share about Michigan's first-ever Statewide Workforce Plan? [ a strategy to fuel economic growth and create more opportunities for job seekers across the state.] If there's any more, discuss how these workforce initiatives align with the state's broader strategy to building a stronger middle class and help businesses grow? What would the real impact of these programs in action be? State officials and Lansing area leaders discuss how Gov. Whitmer's proposed FY26 budget will strengthen job training, apprenticeship programs and employment services. LANSING, Mich.— The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) joined local community members, business leaders and stakeholders to discuss Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's FY26 budget recommendations. The roundtable event, which was held Thursday at Capital Area Michigan Works!, focused on Registered Apprenticeships, Pre-Employment Transition Services and Barrier Removal and Employment Success – all programs aligned with the goals of Michigan's first-ever Statewide Workforce Plan to expand career opportunities, strengthen Michigan's workforce, and support employers. “Successful businesses and good-paying jobs strengthen our families and local communities,” said LEO Director Susan Corbin. “Governor Whitmer and LEO are investing in employment and training to equip workers with in-demand skills and businesses with the talent they need to thrive, creating more opportunities for Michiganders and a stronger economy.” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer recently released her seventh executive budget recommendation that will lower costs, power economic development, and build a brighter future to ensure any person or business can “Make It” in Michigan. The proposed budget includes $19 million to expand access to Registered Apprenticeships, $40.4 million (including a $8.4 million general fund investment to secure $32 million in matching federal funds) for Pre-Employment Transition Support and other vocational rehabilitation services for students with disabilities, and $7.5 million to remove barriers to work. "The stories shared by our local partners and employers highlight the real impact of these investments," said Stephanie Beckhorn, Director of LEO's Office of Employment and Training. "Governor Whitmer's budget recommendations will strengthen workforce development efforts across the state, expanding access to training, Registered Apprenticeships and employment services that empower Michiganders to secure good-paying jobs and build successful careers." Michigan provides employment services to more participants than any other state in the Midwest, is ranked #3 in the nation for helping adults get employed and is #4 in the nation for the number of active Registered Apprentices. LEO's Employment and Training programs are building a stronger Michigan by connecting job seekers to careers and helping businesses grow with the skilled talent they need. Through innovative programs, partnerships and targeted support services, LEO empowers individuals to gain in-demand skills while breaking down barriers to employment. These efforts fuel economic opportunity, ensuring Michigan's workforce is ready for the jobs of today and tomorrow.

Want to grow your network? You're in the right place: Watch brand consultant Elie Jacobs and former investigative journalist turned hedge fund analyst Eric Markowitz as they meet for the first time ever! Only on "Just Press Record" - hosted by Matt Zeigler, right here on the Cultish Creative YouTube channel. Their discussion explores the critical distinctions between brand and reputation, the nature of risk in business and life, and the enduring value of authentic relationships in an increasingly digital world.Topics Covered:Brand vs. Reputation: The crucial difference between what companies say about themselves and what others perceive, with Elie introducing his concept of "risk aperture" to describe the dangerous gap between these narratives.Crisis Communication: How professional communicators like Elie work to align brand promises with actual delivery, using "red teaming" to identify vulnerabilities before they become public relations disasters.Business Longevity: Eric's research into companies that have survived for centuries reveals patterns of deep community connection, craftsmanship, and prioritizing relationships over rapid scaling.Technology's Impact on Human Interaction: Both guests explore how smartphones, AI, and automation are fundamentally reshaping human relationships, with potential consequences for how we develop connections and trust.The Value of Serendipity: Discussion about how unplanned encounters and meandering exploration lead to breakthrough ideas that structured, AI-assisted thinking might miss.Risk Assessment: Comparing Elie's crisis management approach to risk with Eric's investor perspective on conviction and decision-making under uncertainty.The Theranos Case Study: Analysis of how Elizabeth Holmes might have saved her company by being truthful about technological limitations rather than exaggerating capabilities.In-Person vs. Digital Connections: The irreplaceable value of face-to-face meetings in building trust, generating ideas, and creating resilient business relationships.Generational Divides: How different age groups approach technology, with concern about younger generations lacking foundational skills as AI increasingly handles cognitive tasks.Community Embeddedness: Examples of how businesses that maintain strong local ties receive support during crises, creating mutual benefit systems that transcend purely transactional relationships.This thought-provoking conversation reveals why understanding the stories we tell—and the stories we're told—is crucial for navigating risk, building trust, and creating lasting value in business and life.

Christina's journey with cannabis is anything but ordinary. Growing up in Washington DC and initially shying away from the plant due to severe reactions, she never imagined it would play a pivotal role in her life. Yet, as she stepped into the cannabis business world, she rediscovered cannabis through a lens of wellness and mindfulness. Together, we unravel how understanding dosages and product sources transformed her perspective and how staying true to one's mission can guide intentional and meaningful cannabis use. The ever-evolving concept of wellness takes center stage as we explore its intersection with the cannabis industry. Drawing from my experiences with Conscious Capitalism and the founding of Rooted Therapeutics, we reflect on how business can indeed be a force for good. We also spotlight the efforts of Standard Wellness in Maryland, as we discuss the importance of empathy, open-minded parenting, and how personal definitions of wellness can shift over time amidst commercial pitfalls. Cannabis is more than just a plant; it's a tool for creativity and stress relief, especially within Black and Latino communities facing historic challenges. Christina and I delve into how changing the narrative can promote participation and self-expression in these communities. We also tackle leadership challenges, particularly the balancing act between personal wellness and organizational demands. From making tough decisions to maintaining community connections, we highlight the necessity of intentional wellness efforts, supportive networks, and the ongoing journey of achieving balance in a demanding world. Guest Bio: Christina Betancourt Johnson is the founder and chief executive officer of Standard Wellness Maryland (SWM), the first African American and Latina majority-owned vertically integrated cannabis company in the United States, and the first vertically integrated social equity licensee to launch in Maryland. Christina brings more than 15 years of executive leadership to the cannabis industry and holds leadership roles on the U.S. Cannabis Council and the National Hispanic Cannabis Council's Board of Directors. In Maryland, she serves as Vice Chair of The Maryland Wholesale Cannabis Trade Association (CANMD) and was recently appointed by Governor Wes Moore to the Advisory Board on Medical and Adult-Use Cannabis. Christina is passionate about developing young women and is committed to identifying strategies for wealth-building and wellness in Black and Brown communities. https://www.standardwellness.com/maryland https://theforestdispensary.com/baltimore-md Thanks for listening to another episode.
