It explores the history of trade agreements, the current political climate surrounding free trade, and the impact of China's economic strategies on global markets.Frank emphasizes the importance of openness and collaboration in trade, while also addressing the need for defensive measures against unfair practices.

Bush and under President George W Bush, he was appointed US Ambassador to Singapore in 2001. A prolific author for global publications, Frank had a second career in Asian finance and is now CEO and founder of ‘Export Now'. A prominent ‘Never Trumper', he has been a vocal critic of the Donald Trump Administration. Misha Zelinsky caught up with Frank for a chinwag about Election 2020 and whether Trump can fight back and win, why elections are defined by what voters don't want, what made Ronald Reagan the politician of his era, how politics has changed for the worse today, the future of the Republican Party, the secret to winning Presidential races and what the rise of an authoritarian China means for the US, Australia and the world. It's a wide ranging chat. We want to say that Frank absolutely wins the award of best BBQ answer in the history of the show!

Welcome to the The Voice of Retail, I'm your host Michael LeBlanc, and this podcast is brought to you in conjunction with Retail Council of Canada.This is a special edition podcast focussed on the coronavirus, COVID-19 and the outbreak of the novel coronavirus as a business risk.   Beyond the human cost to people around the world, the disruptive potential to retailers in Canada is real.  At this early stage for most it can best be described as a “known-unknowns”, but for some retailers they are feeling the early impacts calling down sales for international locations, late shipments, missed buying trips and perceptible decreases in Chinese tourist-oriented sales in their outlets.In this episode I'm going to focus on the the Supply Chain Delays and Cost Increases.  For most retailers this is a 90day+ issue; the goods on offer made or sourced in China between now and spring at retail are mostly already on the water or in warehouses domestically. Continued delays however mean bottlenecks at shipping ports or air freight, both of which mean more delays and cost, including promotional plans and long-lead marketing programs (e.g. flyer production).   To help us get our arms around this I brought together three experts for this podcast.First, I welcome Frank Lavin, Founder and Chairman, Export Now back to the podcast to set the stage.   With decades of the most senior experience in Asia, including U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Singapore and working in the White House as an undersecretary of commerce for Asia, he brings a unique and rare voice to the current state of affairs.Second, Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, retail supply chain expert and host of the most excellent podcast, Let's Talk Supply Chain.   Sarah helps us zone in on the retail issues and scope and scale of the issues.Lastly, Audrey Ross, Logistics & Customs Specialist for Orchard customer beauty, a Canadian based global supplier and maker of cosmetics with offices in China and with a global sourcing footprint, brings it all together and gives us a  day-to-day perspective dealing with this crisis in their work supplying retailers in North America and around the world.But first, let's jump right into my conversation with Frank, live from Singapore.******Thanks to Frank, Sarah and Audrey for being my guests on this episode.  Well  Now let's hit the highlights of the retail news in Canada and around the world with Retail This Week for the week of February 17th, 2020That's a wrap on this edition of The Voice of Retail.  If you liked this podcast you can subscribe on Apple iTunes or your favourite podcast platform, please rate and review, and be sure and recommend to a friend or colleague in the retail industry.I'm Michael LeBlanc, Founder and President of M.E.

Fredrik Erixon talks to Frank Lavin, the founder and CEO of Export Now, who has served as U.S. Ambassador to Singapore and undersecretary of Commerce for International Trade. They discuss U.S. trade strategy in relation to China under President Trump,...

As the U.S. midterm elections drew to a close, we caught up with former Ambassador and Undersecretary of the Department of Commerce, Frank Lavin, to discuss the election results and the future of U.S.-China trade relations. Lavin is currently Chairman of Export Now, an Asia-focused full-service digital solutions company helping consumer brands win in global e-commerce markets, which he founded in 2010. We discuss Lavin’s thoughts on the election outcomes, what they mean for domestic U.S. policy, and whether U.S.-China trade tensions may blow over more quickly than many anticipate.

In this episode of Horns of a Dilemma, Frank Lavin, a former Department of Commerce official (currently at Export Now) discusses his latest book Home Front to Battlefront. Lavin looks at the history of World War II through the eyes of the soldiers that fought the war. This talk took place at the University of Texas at Austin and was hosted by the Clements Center.   Music and Production by Tre Hester 

In this episode we’re looking back at the Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump meet-up in Singapore. It now feels like the distant past. And that’s the point. This news cycle is more like a news cyclone. There was much ado about the meeting of the two corpulent men, but now that the dust has settled, what do we have to show for it? To get perspective we reached out to two key members of the Inside Asia Network, both of whom have a deep knowledge of the region and who also happen to have been on the ground in Singapore. We first speak with Steve Okun. He’s Senior Advisor at McClarty Associates and for the last twelve years has served as Governor of the Singapore Chamber of Commerce. He’s a trusted source who happened also to have a ringside seat at the festivities. Was this one of those surrealistic moments that defied logic and protocol, or was it the first small step toward the giant leap of opening North Korea? And what was it like in Singapore when the circus arrived? Next we talk with Frank Lavin, Founder and Chairman of Export Now and a former US Ambassador to Singapore. Frank is based in Singapore, and, as you might expect, found himself pulled in by CNN and others to comment. I put the same question to him that I put to Steve Okun: Is the Trump/Kim meeting to be seen as a window of opportunity, or further evidence that we are living in the Matrix where perception and reality have parted ways? And, again, what was it like on the ground?
