Die EU-Aussenminister werden nächste Woche weitere Sanktionen gegen Russland absegnen. Diese neuen Sanktionen sollen gegen den Export von Öl und Erdgas gehen. Wie stark treffen sie das Land? Weitere Themen: Schweizer Medien stehen unter Druck. Die SRG und die privaten Medienunternehmen wollen deshalb künftig stärker zusammenarbeiten. Die SRG hat sich mit dem Verlegerverband VSM darauf geeinigt, dass sich die SRG etwa im Bereich Online oder bei den Sportrechten künftig etwas zurückhalten wird. Die Verleger ihrerseits sprechen sich gegen die sogenannte Halbierungs-Initiative aus. In Portugal wird diesen Sonntag ein neues Parlament gewählt.

Opsporing verzocht. Apple wordt aangevallen door iemand uit eigen land. Hij draagt vaak een rood petje, gebruikt een bronzer en heeft een lange stropdas. Je hoort het goed: president Trump heeft de aanval geopend op Apple.Hij is helemaal klaar met Tim Cook, laat 'ie weten. Die is productie van China naar India aan het verplaatsen. iPhones moeten voortaan in India gemaakt worden, om zo Trumps heffingen te ontlopen. Tot woede van Trump, die wil juist dat de telefoons in Amerika worden gemaakt.Apple zit door de ruzie in een onmogelijke positie. Of het blijft in China en betaalt zich scheel aan heffingen. Of Apple gaat voor India, maar dan heeft het ruzie met Trump. Gaat het naar de VS, dan heeft Apple ruzie met klanten. Want die moeten dan honderden dollars meer betalen... Deze aflevering proberen we Cook (en jou als Apple-belegger) op weg te helpen met dat vraagstuk. Praten we ook over Netflix. Dat heeft juist een luxeprobleem. Het gaat ten onder aan zijn eigen succes!Ook hebben we het over het vertrek van Hein Schumacher bij Unilever. Die ging (totaal onverwachts) ineens via de achterdeur weg. We weten nu de reden.Verder hebben we het over de cijfers van Alibaba, die belangrijker zijn dan ooit. Die van Walmart, belangrijker dan ooit. En we vertellen je welke autobouwer het gigantisch goed doet. Je hoort het goed: een autobouwer, die het in deze tijd goed doet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:13] US Dependencies on Rare Earths and Critical Minerals[03:51] Sourcing from Latin America, Africa, and Asia[06:28] Environmental Harm from Mining and Processing[08:11] Deliberate Suppression of the Price of Rare Earths in the Market[11:06] Chinese Exports Restrictions on Seven Rare Earth Elements[14:08] US Administrations' Approaches to Critical Minerals Vulnerability[20:02] 2010 Fishing Boat Accident and Japan's Response [24:00] What might China do moving forward? [27:42] Timeframe for the US to Catch Up to China

De wonderen zijn de wereld nog niet uit. Sloot Trump gisteren ineens een handelsdeal met de Britten, dit weekend gaat 'ie heel ver voor een deal met de Chinezen. Zo ver zelfs dat 'ie bereid is de tarieven drastisch te verlagen.Ze staan er in China zelf ook van te kijken. Waarom wil Trump zo graag? We bespreken het deze aflevering. Dan hoor je ook waarom China het (ondanks die handelsoorlog) extreem veel exporteert. Sterker nog: de binnenlandse vraag valt nauwelijks terug. Verder vertellen we je over BP. Het aandeel zit in een diep dal en dat zet concurrenten aan het denken. Die zijn allemaal aan het berekenen of zij de Britse oliereus willen overnemen. Shell zegt dat het ze niet waard is, maar is dat ook echt zo? We hebben het ook over de Duitse beurs. Beleggers daar hebben een nieuwe bondskanselier en die zal dit succes vast willen claimen: de DAX-index tikt namelijk een nieuw record aan. En Elon Musk vindt de 260.000 ontslagen die hij bij de Amerikaanse overheid regelde nog niet genoeg. Hij heeft een stukje software ontwikkeld die zijn taken daar kan overnemen. En we blikken terug op de week waarin Jelle eindelijk analisten meekreeg in zijn enthousiasme over Disney. Ook een beursweek waarin Ahold zei geen last te hebben van de handelsoorlog. En die waarin de eerste deal in die oorlog gesloten werd.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Eindelijk weten we waar Trump het al dagen over had: het is een handelsdeal met de Britten. Die 'major announcement' is volgens de Amerikanen en Britten zelfs een 'historische deal'. Veel details kregen we nog niet. Die moeten nog worden uitgewerkt, zegt Trump. De hoofdlijnen krijgen we wel: het is vooral de Amerikaanse landbouw die erg profiteert. De deal is ook een opsteker voor Boeing, want de Britten kopen voor 10 miljard dollar aan vliegtuigen van dat bedrijf. Trump belooft daarnaast dat er ook druk wordt onderhandeld over handelsdeals met andere landen. Wanneer Europa (of misschien zelfs China) eindelijk aan de beurt is bespreken we deze aflevering. Daarnaast hebben we het over de Amerikaanse chipbeperkingen. Die worden ietsje soepeler dankzij deze president Trump. Volgens Bloomberg komt er een uitzondering voor AI-chips op de beperkingen die zijn voorganger Joe Biden heeft ingevoerd. Wat Trump zelf te winnen heeft met deze versoepeling, gaan we bespreken. De chipaandelen profiteren in ieder geval: ze staan allemaal hoger vandaag. En Trump heeft voor de zoveelste keer uitgehaald naar Fed-baas Jerome Powell. Trump schrijft op zijn eigen Truth Social dat Powell een 'fool' is, die geen enkel idee heeft. Maar zegt Trump ook: 'Verder mag ik hem heel erg!' Verder hoor je wat de nieuwste tegenvaller voor Elon Musk is en hoe Chinese aandelen profiteren van het oplaaiende conflict tussen India en Pakistan. En we kijken naar de koffieprijzen, want die stijgen gigantisch volgens koffieboer JDE Peets. Dat betekent in Nederland waarschijnlijk weer ruzies met de grote supermarkten.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In-Ear Insights, let’s talk about Oh, Katie, it’s your favorite term—digital transformation, specifically AI transformation. The context for this is we got an email from a colleague, a friend, who said, “Hey, I want to talk about how we could be using AI to take our company’s stuff”—they’re a software company—”and get it to parity with the the the current environment. And there’s got to be a way, an AI way to do that.” We both had strong reactions to this, and I I’m happy to share mine in a little bit, but I wanted to get your take on this person’s request. How do I use AI to to catch up to where the rest of my industry is right now? Katie Robbert – 00:49 I feel like it goes back to that very old, keeping up with the Joneses kind of phrasing, where it’s like, gosh, I’m gonna throw a bunch of cliches at you. The grass is greener. Keeping up with the Joneses—all those things where you look over the fence and you see what the other guy is doing, and you think, I want that. Versus looking at your own environment, look at your own home. What you have, and saying, you know what? This is good. This suits me. And that’s the challenge I have when I hear things like that, of, do I need—I mean, I I went through this myself a couple weeks ago. We talked about it when we talked about MCPs on the podcast. It started with, am I falling behind? Katie Robbert – 01:37 Do I need to be keeping up with the Joneses? And the answer was no. I need to stay the course and do what I’m doing. Yes, I need to be aware and not put my head in the sand. But trying to do what other people are seemingly doing doesn’t fit my needs or the needs of the company. It’s not where I’m needed. And so when I see even bigger initiatives to try to keep up with the industry as a whole, my first question is, why? What is it that is going to benefit your company, your bottom line, by burning everyone out to try to be where your competitor is down the street? What what is the need? How is that useful? What is the purpose of trying to, one for one, compete with the guy down the street? Katie Robbert – 02:39 And I’m a competitive person. I want to be the best. But I also know that there are some things you just don’t need to chase. I’m not like a I’m not someone who hustles. I’m not trying to burn my the candle at both ends—again, all the cliches. But I want what we’re building, Trust Insights, to be the best. A lot of that means blocking out the noise of what anyone else is doing. So that’s, I don’t know, that’s my opinion. Yes, you need to be aware of what other people are working on, but that doesn’t mean that it’s the right decision for you. Christopher S. Penn – 03:21 When I think about this particular example, and there have been a lot of discussions like this lately, people saying, yeah, I’m falling behind, here’s what I do. I’m not using AI effectively. It comes down to this idea of optimization versus innovation. Optimization is make the thing you’re doing bigger, better, faster and cheaper. And there’s a lot of good reasons to do that. There’s always things you can be more efficient about. There’s always things you can be you can make better. When you get to innovation or transformation, it’s about doing something different, something that your customers want and they would find great value in, but it’s different than what you do. Christopher S. Penn – 04:08 When I think about content marketing as an example, all these companies saying, we’re going to help you get found in AI, we’re going to make sure your content is visible and stuff. And I keep going back to, does the world need another blog post? Does the world need another pile of corporate slop that is maybe better slop than what you’ve created previously, but it’s still—I I keep coming back to the 5 Ps. Does the audience actually want this? The people are actually going to buy something for you. Do they want another blog post from you? Do they want a better optimized blog post? I think there’s there is merit to saying, yeah, we want our content to be found by AI for sure, we want tools to make that process easier. Christopher S. Penn – 04:57 But I I keep thinking back to, is that something that people are going to find value in enough that they’re going to raise their hand and say, what else do you do? Katie Robbert – 05:09 Well, and I think that’s really the key. And one of the biggest challenges of doing a competitive analysis is you looking at what other people around you do who do similar things and then trying to meet them where they are. Oftentimes, not all the time, but oftentimes what’s left out of a competitive analysis is what your audience cares about. And so it’s two different tracks. You have, here’s what my competitors are doing, here’s what my audience cares about. And sometimes there’s a big chasm in between them because you’re so focused on being the best and being the smartest and being first that you’re not even looking at the fact that your audience doesn’t care about that. They just want you to solve their problem. Katie Robbert – 06:00 They don’t care if you have 30 awards on the shelf that says best in class in your thing, in your industry. A lot of people don’t care about that. They just want to know that when they open up their laptop or they whatever, first thing in the morning, there’s not going to be an issue with whatever it is they’ve bought from you. That’s really what it comes down to is don’t make their life harder, make it easier. And so where do you fit into that conversation versus what everyone else is doing? And again, I get it. I am human. Katie Robbert – 06:37 And a couple of weeks ago, Chris, we had this conversation because I started seeing all the hype and everyone else and they’re posting these things, and I got caught up momentarily thinking, I need to do more. I need to be more of a thought leader. I need to do all these things. Do you hear me? I need to. I. I need to. Me, me. It’s not about me. It’s not. People are not saying, Katie, you need to do more. They’re saying, I need my problem solved. Me, the customer. I don’t care if you’re a top voice on LinkedIn. I care if you can solve my problem. Christopher S. Penn – 07:18 And so when we think about this idea of getting to parity in your industry or getting past it, one of the things that in this particular instance occurred to me is the world doesn’t need another blog post. It doesn’t need another blog optimization tool. What your customers need is they—to quote our friend Mitch Joel, “Don’t be another thing on someone’s to do list.” What can your software do? What can your company do to remove things from my to do list? If you take things away from my to do list and get them done for me, I will be deliriously happy with you and I will give you as much money as I possibly can. That’s sort of the first step in product innovation is what can we do to make less work for our customers rather than more? Christopher S. Penn – 08:06 And then the second thing is looking at the big picture in things like content marketing to say, where is content going again? It’s like business cliche day. Wayne Gretzky’s famous quote, “I don’t skate where the puck is. I skate where the puck is going.” Do you know where the puck is going? Is that on your radar? And this is where things like Generative AI can be helpful to say, what are the gaps? Where do the things that are? How are things evolving? Are we are people doing more with interactives? Are they doing more in the real world? Are they doing more with visibles? I did a demo recently on my phone using a LiDAR scanner to make an accurate 3D replica of an interior space. Christopher S. Penn – 08:49 As an example of, here’s how you can use this thing, then take the model file, feed it to Generative AI and say, here’s how you could have Generative AI redesign your house using only digital assets. So you could actually get a, here’s where the couch could go kind of thing that’s useful to a customer to say, I want to see your product in my environment, or I want to see how you would rebuild this living room to be more of what I want. But I feel like when someone’s asking, am I falling behind? How? Why can’t I transform with AI, it kind of goes back to again, what you always say, which is you’re leading with the technology, not with what the customer actually wants. Now here’s my one question for you that’s kind of a nuance on this. Christopher S. Penn – 09:39 If someone doesn’t know what the platform is capable of, how do they get smart about that without getting locked into being technology first? Katie Robbert – 09:54 There is nothing saying that you can’t do your research on any given platform. You don’t have to use the 5 Ps for that. That’s just common sense. It’s natural curiosity. It’s like, huh, I wonder what OpenAI can do? Huh? I wonder what Google can do. I wonder what kind of things they have. You don’t need the 5 Ps to be curious. It’s when you start making decisions and when you start taking the credit card out of the wallet and asking people on your team to take on more responsibility or changing your KPIs or whatever, it’s when you start getting into making decisions. But you can be curious about any platform. You don’t need the 5 Ps for that. If you want to go ahead and say, I wonder what this button does? Katie Robbert – 10:42 Great, that’s just R and D. That’s just good old fashioned Research, that’s fine. And there is a place for that. And Chris, that’s something that you and I talk about internally a lot, is you are someone who needs the time and the space to do that, to explore without really any kind of goal in mind. And I think that’s totally fine. Where we start to put guardrails around it is the amount of time spent. It’s not that you’re looking for a specific outcome. It’s that if we have an eight hour day, we can’t have you spending seven and a half hours of that day playing with new toys and only 30 minutes doing actual work. We would actually sort of like the reverse to happen. But I think there is absolutely room for that kind of experimentation in every day. Katie Robbert – 11:34 In the workflow. There has to be, there should be that. That’s what allows people’s brains to stretch and think creatively and develop those additional skills to figure out like, are there better solutions to this problem that I’m having? I saw, I don’t remember what it was, and it actually may have been something, Chris, that you had reposted, but I saw a quote, something like, there’s more solutions than problems. And so chances are there’s something out there who can that can do this thing better, faster, smarter, cheaper than you’re currently doing it. So you have to have the time to research it in order to figure that out. But when you start getting to a decision, that’s when you bring the 5 Ps back in. Christopher S. Penn – 12:19 Yeah, I almost feel like there’s kind of a life cycle. Optimization and innovation. Yeah, optimization gets you bigger, better, faster, cheaper, until you hit diminishing returns. You’re like, okay, we’ve squeezed all the juice here. Now we’re getting pulpy rind. It’s time for a new piece of fruit. And once you reach that point, then you say, okay, we need to do something different to expand, to keep growing. And this is where again, I feel like a lot of folks who advocate for AI transformation or digital transformation are kind of missing the boat. It’s not doing more of what you’re already doing with AI. It’s That’s still optimization. It’s doing something that is inherent to you but still fundamentally different. Christopher S. Penn – 13:08 So a good example, there was a company in the 1930s called Mitsuboshi, was in occupied Korea at the time, and they sold dried fish and seaweed. They were an exporter and they made their money. And then when Korea got liberated, they kept their expertise for export and manufacturing. Export. But they pivoted and they renamed the company using Korean instead of Japanese naming once the occupation ended. And now today that company’s Korean name is Samsung. They sell no dried fish anymore. You can’t go to a Samsung store and get dried fish. But they still maintain that purpose and that performance of, let’s export really high quality stuff to the rest of the world. You can get Samsung phones and TVs and refrigerators and stuff, and no dried fish. That’s a transformation. It’s Christopher S. Penn – 14:02 It totally changed what they did, but not necessarily how they did it or why they did it. And with AI, I feel like a lot of the folks who are saying, I’m not, I’m doing a digital transformation. You’re still, you’re still kind of doing the same basic tactical stuff instead of changing into something else. When Trust Insights started, were talking about this not too long ago, were heavily a Google Analytics shop. That’s kind of was our bread and butter for a very long time. We still do that, but it’s not front and center anymore. It is not what the vast majority of our clients are paying us for anymore. Katie Robbert – 14:43 There’s nothing wrong with focusing on optimizing versus transforming. And I think the word transformation, I think we just need to drop it altogether because it’s overused and misunderstood. And so if we said, Trust Insights went through a transformation, it feels like this big magical, like you have the stardust and the sparkles happening and like swirls of clouds and whatnot. But really what we did was we did a pivot to where the market was going to make sure that our services were still relevant. We can still do a Google Analytics audit with the best of them. It’s just not what our audience needs. So we said, hey, ideal customer profile. What do you need? And let us meet you where you are. Call it a transformation, call it a left turn, call it a pivot, whatever you want to call it. Katie Robbert – 15:39 We met our customers where they were. Maybe it was optimizing, whatever, who cares? Who cares what you call it? As long as at the end of the day, you’re giving your customers what they need. Christopher S. Penn – 15:55 The heart of it is still the same, which is, hey, here’s a complicated technology. Let us help you get the most out of it. Whether It’s Google Analytics 4 and it’s wildly unpopular interface, whether it is machine learning and attribution analysis, whether it is generative AI, at the end of the day, our customers are still paying us to help them get more out of the technology and in a lot of ways to help them feel better too. To say, hey, I I feel like I have a handle on things now. I may not be an expert, but at least I’m not stumbling around in the dark. And go back to 2018, 2019 when people got Google Analytics, 2020 when Google Analytics 4 came out, people like, I’m stumbling in the dark around this thing. Yes. Christopher S. Penn – 16:42 And our remit was to help people feel less in the dark. And I feel like no matter what comes along, that kind of like Samsung being a high quality exporter, that’s going to be the through line to everything that we offer. And for the folks who are worried about parity with their industry or that they’re not transforming fast enough, maybe they’ve lost the sight of their through line. Katie Robbert – 17:10 And I think that’s. I was, as you were explaining this, I started thinking about there’s a huge psychology play and a lot of it. When someone says I need to keep up, I need to compete, it’s because we’re feeling insecure about what we bring to the table. That and that there’s nothing wrong with that. When you recognize that you’re starting to feel the way. If you can recognize that you’re starting to feel that way, you need to look around and say, why am I feeling that way? Is it because I’m spending too much time comparing myself to others? Or is it because I don’t think I’m doing a good enough job right here where I stand? And there’s no, I don’t have like, a psychology degree. Katie Robbert – 18:04 I also don’t have a solid answer, but that’s a big part of it. So if someone’s coming to us and saying, I want to be at parody or I feel like I’m falling behind, my first question is to them as humans, not to them as companies. Why do you think you feel that way? What is actually happening that’s making you feel like you’re not performing well enough, you’re not doing enough. Because there is a big part of that. Because for some people, and I don’t want to sort of derail this with a psychology lesson, but for some people it’s never going to be enough. They’re always going to be chasing something more. Katie Robbert – 18:44 And so that can be a good thing, that can be a healthy competition or that can be detrimental to their health and the health of a company. If it’s Never enough if they’re constantly pushing for more and more, and that’s when you start to get into things like, I need to be the richest person, I need to be the smartest person. I need to be the best in it. But like at the cost is to everything else in your life. And so I just want to sort of throw that out there. Of I always try to give a moment of like, let’s do a little bit of self reflection. We don’t have to go too deep, but let’s try to figure out why we’re feeling this way. Christopher S. Penn – 19:27 If you are a company who is legitimately behind, let’s say it’s 2023 and Trust Insights is still a Universal Analytics shop. Google Analytics 4 is going to be making it go away in a very short period of time. And in this fictional world, we did not pivot. If you’re that company, what do you do? Katie? If you if you look around and say, you know what we really are behind, we the industry has moved way ahead of us. Our bread and butter is going to go away because this new GA4 technology has come out and we don’t know a thing about it. Do you rush to catch up or do you take the opportunity to just ditch everything and leap ahead? Christopher S. Penn – 20:12 How do you approach that strategically to say, when you are behind, what’s the next step? Katie Robbert – 20:18 You know, that’s, there’s a lot of dependencies with that question. There’s no, just like, oh, do this and immediately you’re gonna figure it out. Like there’s a lot of things that you would want to consider within your own company. Like do you have certain skill sets? So do you have someone who’s comfortable on camera and could start putting together thought leadership pieces about whatever the new thing is that’s that everybody’s talking about. Can you start to have a voice in that? Can you know, take time? Is it, can you figure it out within your bandwidth and your budget for people to get skilled up? Do you need new people to get skilled up? But ultimately you first need to figure out, okay, if we’re behind, where do we want to go? Katie Robbert – 21:08 Because so let’s say in that example, your Universal Analytics shop, it’s 2023, the deadline is looming. That doesn’t necessarily mean leaping to Google Analytics 4 is the right move because there’s a million and one quote unquote experts out there now in Google Analytics 4. Is that the best move for your company or is there something else? So to your example earlier about Samsung, is there something about the methodology within your company that you could then do something different? You could pivot, you could transform, you could change, you could whatever, but still retain the core foundation? For us, it’s always been data analysis. Whether it’s Universal Analytics, Google Analytics 4, AI, text mining, whatever it is, the core is always the same and it’s data analysis. Katie Robbert – 22:05 So it to me, it doesn’t matter what’s happening in the industry, people will always need to understand what the heck their data is saying. Whatever, sitting on top of it, whatever shiny on top of it, doesn’t really matter. Christopher S. Penn – 22:17 One of the things that as we’re preparing for the show, and I was thinking about the Universal Analytics example, is that there were a lot of people who really liked Universal Analytics because it was one stop shopping. It just kind of did the thing and yeah, it was missing some features and there are definitely things that GA4 did add, but there’s also a great big huge pain in the butt that comes with it. And there are other products on the market, Matomo, which we’ve talked about on the live stream, Adobe Analytics, etc. But there’s nothing saying today that you couldn’t just use generative AI to build your own. Christopher S. Penn – 22:55 To say, here’s what I like about GA4, here’s what I like about Adobe, here’s what I like about Universal Analytics, here’s what I like about Plausible let’s build something that fits our needs and then is in some ways an insurance policy against Google deprecating GA4 in two years or three years or five years because you have your own thing. To me, that is something that would be a logical transformation for a company like Trust Insights, where we could say, you know what, we are good at data analysis, we are good at collecting data, we’re good at data governance, we are good at helping people get the most out of their technology. Christopher S. Penn – 23:33 It is seems like almost a logical evolution, say here is our analytics product now, because we know that it meets the needs of the actual marketers and it wasn’t built by engineers for engineering use, which is what GA4 feels like most of the time in a situation like that. Is that a logical transformation for a company like ours? Or if you’re a content marketing company and you see generative AI capable of doing wildly different kinds of content, do you say, you know what, let’s forget about Optimizing blog posts and let’s become a song creation company. Katie Robbert – 24:09 It’s logical, it may not be realistic and I feel like you need to separate the two. So it may be a logical like, oh, this would make sense. You then need to look at, do we have the capability not just to build it, but to maintain it, but to sell it, but to make sure it doesn’t break. To you have to think long term. So I think it’s a good option to put on the table to then explore logistically. Can we do it? Could we do it? Sure. But does it, can we actually make all the pieces happen so that it’s a long standing thing and a sustainable thing? Christopher S. Penn – 24:53 I feel like it’s time for this clip. Yeah, yeah. But your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t— Katie Robbert – 24:58 Stop to think if they should. Christopher S. Penn – 25:02 It might be one of those things that, yeah, the software maintenance side of things would not be a lot of fun. So we do it, probably should not do it. Katie Robbert – 25:14 Yeah. I mean, in a realistic scenario, Trust Insights is not set up to be a SaaS provider. Christopher S. Penn – 25:20 Exactly. But from a going back to where we started the episode on the idea of optimization versus innovation, that is certainly an avenue that should at least be on the table for discussion. And so if you feel like you’re falling behind or you’re not at parity with your industry, thinking through like, what are the logical things, especially if you already are a software company, what would be the logical next step that the customer would actually find value in? And rather than try to optimized for yesterday, try to figure out what your customer would want tomorrow. Katie Robbert – 26:01 I think it just, it goes back to having your own sense of self. And again, we’re all human. We all fall into the hype of look what everybody else is doing. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right move for you. And so you need to figure out what makes sense for you and your customers, not let me be the next shiny object in what everyone else is doing. So, to the question about parody, if somebody came to me and was asking me that question, I would say, why? Why does this make sense for you? Why does it make sense for you to keep up with your peers? What’s in it for your customers that makes the most sense? Christopher S. Penn – 26:43 Exactly. And I think one of the most basic tangible things you could start with is building an ideal customer profile, which Trust Insights does. If you want to go to TrustInsights.ai/services, we build those for people. And then having that conversation so you’re like, hey, synthetic customer, here’s what we do. We feel like we’re falling behind. A Are we or do you not care about all these fancy new bells and whistles? And B if you do care, what would you want us to provide that you’d be willing to pay egregious sums of money for? Katie Robbert – 27:17 And it may be things that you can’t actually do. And that’s okay because that then gives you an opportunity to say, is that where I want to pivot? Or do I partner with someone? Or do I just give it all up and go play in my garden? Which is my always my plan. Christopher S. Penn – 27:34 Katie’s Katie’s Goat Farm will be the natural evolution of Trust Insights in a couple years. Katie Robbert – 27:40 Stay tuned. Christopher S.

In this podcast episode we discuss several topics.  Indian Motorcycle sales were down for the forth quarter of 2024, Harley-Davidson dealing with tariffs, and motorcycle jump starters.  Indian Motorcycles, founded in 1901, is one of America's oldest and most iconic motorcycle brands. After dominating the market in the early 20th century with models like the Scout and Chief, the company struggled and ultimately ceased operations in 1953. Over the next five decades, several revival attempts failed until Polaris Industries acquired the brand in 2011. Polaris successfully relaunched Indian, preserving its heritage while expanding with modern designs and a broad lineup of seven motorcycle families. The introduction of the FTR1200 in 2019 marked its only major innovation in recent years. The brand reestablished itself as a serious rival to Harley-Davidson, especially in the North American market, where it achieved record sales of 43,219 units in 2022. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE However, Indian's resurgence has hit a plateau. Sales have declined since 2022, with global registrations dropping to around 37,000 units annually. In 2024, the downturn steepened, with an overall decline of 12.4% through August, including a 15% dip in the U.S. and 9.9% in Europe. The brand's heavy reliance on the maturing U.S. market, which accounts for 64% of its business, and a lack of consistent product innovation, are seen as key factors in its recent struggles. Despite its rich legacy and strong branding, Indian faces challenges in sustaining momentum without broader international expansion and a more aggressive approach to new model development.

With President-elect Donald Trump suggesting a 25% tariff on goods from countries like Mexico, Canada, and China, concerns are rising about how such measures might impact American companies—Harley-Davidson being a prime example. During Trump's first term, Harley was caught in a trade war between the U.S. and the EU, leading to potential tariffs as high as 56%, which the company estimated would cost over $200 million annually. Though it initially avoided these tariffs by exporting from its Thailand plant, recent EU rulings have closed that loophole. With Harley-Davidson's international operations accounting for nearly 40% of its motorcycle sales—particularly in Europe and Asia—new tariffs or retaliation from other countries could severely affect its bottom line. Beyond international trade tensions, there's now speculation about the U.S. imposing tariffs on Harley's own Thai-built bikes being sold domestically for the first time—an unprecedented move that could reignite past threats. While some voices continue to dramatize Harley's situation, citing minor downturns as existential threats, the company remains profitable, recently reporting a $119 million quarterly profit. Still, its visibility as an iconic American brand makes it a convenient target in trade disputes. As global politics shift, Harley-Davidson must navigate both economic realities and its symbolic status, balancing manufacturing strategies and diplomatic crossfire.

In the last week, president Trump's latest trade policies have provided a whole lot of whiplash for Americans, their wallets, and the global economy. Part of Trump's tariff plan includes maintaining and increasing his tariffs on China, one of the U.S.'s largest trading partners. China spends billions on American agricultural products every year, meaning American farmers are likely to get caught in the middle of Trump's trade war, again. MSNBC's Alex Wagner travels to Johnston County in North Carolina to hear from farmers who are standing by Trump, even as he stands down his own policies. Then, a conversation with The Atlantic's Annie Lowrey on what this all means for our global economy.And please vote for your favorite MSNBC podcasts in this year's Webby Awards!
