We've built a world where products appear with a click and groceries restock like clockwork...until they don't. When the pandemic hit, it wasn't just shelves that went empty, it was our illusions of a stable, efficient global supply chain that collapsed. And it wasn't a freak accident, it was decades in the making. In this episode, we sit down with Peter Goodman, Global Economic Correspondent for The New York Times and bestselling author of How the World Ran Out of Everything: Inside the Global Supply Chain. Peter brings a deep, behind-the-scenes look at how global trade works, and what happens when it doesn't. We unpack the hidden risks and questionable logic behind decades of offshoring, our blind devotion to just-in-time inventory, and a relentless pursuit of shareholder maximization at the expense of resilience. Peter covers the untold story behind what went wrong during the pandemic and why it could happen again, why we became too dependent on China, and how consulting firms and shareholder obsession made things worse. We also dive into how AI could help (or hurt) global logistics, why nationalistic trade policies could hurt your business more than you think, and what the future of trade and sourcing looks like in a more unstable world. ________________ This episode is sponsored by Workhuman: AI without purpose doesn't serve people.

In this must-listen episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc is joined by seasoned retail strategist Jim Okamura, Partner at McMillan Doolittle and Co-Founder of the Global E-commerce Leaders Forum (GELF). Recorded live at the CommerceNext show in New York City, the two Canadians delve deeply into the current and future state of retail, blending global expertise with practical insights from the ground up.The conversation begins with Jim's background and a look at McMillan Doolittle's role in driving innovation across various retail formats. Known for their globally respected annual Retail Innovations report, Jim explains how international partners nominate the most forward-thinking concepts, regardless of whether they achieve commercial success. From trailblazing store formats, such as Printemps' architectural marvel in Manhattan, to localization strategies that shape international brand launches, Jim shares examples that reflect where retail is headed next.The duo then shifts to a frank discussion about the collapse of Hudson's Bay and what it signals for the broader department store format. Comparing North American challenges with the success of Japanese models that utilize a leased brand approach, Jim highlights how changing consumer behaviour—especially in beauty and apparel—has fragmented traditional retail categories. He argues that the decline of department stores is less a retail apocalypse and more a natural part of the lifecycle of formats.As the conversation moves to unified commerce and digital transformation, Jim emphasizes that success isn't just about tech—it's about culture. Companies that embrace a testing and analytics-driven mindset have a competitive edge. He also discusses the generational shift in expectations, including the normalization of paid same-hour delivery via platforms like DoorDash and Uber Eats.The episode wraps with insights from GELF's work helping global brands expand across borders. Jim reveals how localization, unified commerce strategies, and innovative partnerships with distributors are fueling cross-border growth—even amid global trade uncertainty. With AI, logistics disruptions, and rising tariffs reshaping the terrain, Jim calls for nimble thinking and sharper execution from brands and their ecosystems.This rich, wide-ranging discussion offers a panoramic view of retail's past, present, and future—making it essential listening for anyone navigating the changing commerce landscape.

Michael talks with Kelly Ann Shaw, former Deputy Assistant to the President for International Economic Affairs, about President Trump's 'sledgehammer' approach to international trade and tariffs. Kelly Ann, who also served as Trade Counsel to the House Ways and Means Committee, explains the current state of the global "trade war," the strategic de-escalation with China on critical minerals, and the White House's broader push to rebalance trade relationships and counter what it calls unfair practices.

At a time when debates over tariffs, regulation, and the scope of government are back at center stage. Is this time in American history unprecedented, or can we find parallels in the past? For example, has trade “hollowed out” U.S. manufacturing—or have fact tariffs like the Corn Laws in Britain hurt working-class families the most? Was the Great Depression a failure of capitalism—rather than a policy crisis worsened by poor monetary responses and overreach? Today’s guest is Phil Gramm, a former U.S. Senator and author of “The Triumph of Economic Freedom.” We look at five periods of American history—the Industrial Revolution, Progressive Era, Great Depression, decline of America’s postwar preeminence in world trade, and the Great Recession—along with the existing levels of income inequality and poverty, leads many to believe in expanding government in American life. Gramm argues that the evidence points to a contrary verdict: government interference and failed policies pose the most significant threat to economic freedom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The financial uncertainty involving Trump‘s tariffs continues. In addition to Trump‘s own stops and starts, causing all kinds of market volatility, now the courts are involved. Wednesday night, the federal court of international trade, put a stop to Trump‘s tariffs, saying he lacked the emergency authority to put them in place. Hours later, a federal appeal court paused that ruling allowing Trump to move forward with his tariffs for now. Trump is already calling for the Supreme Court to back him up.. We'll check in with journalists Michael Shure and Jim Avila to find out what they think about the latest tariff power struggle. We've heard from a couple of listeners this week regarding a wild Florida story. Let's just say gators are involved. Friday Fabulous Florida is upon us. The Culture Blaster Michael Snyder joins the show to share his thoughts about the latest offerings at the movie theaters and on streaming services.

“If one believes that this is a restructuring of the global trading system, as a lot of people do, then it is fait accompli, the United States is no longer going to have open capital account,” says Luke Gromen, founder and president of Forest for the Trees (FFTT). He explains to Daniela Cambone that if the US keeps its capital account open while China restricts capital flows, it risks becoming a source of funds for a heavily indebted global economy during trade disruptions. “Everybody wants to get their money out of China. Chinese say no. Then they go... to the US, sell stocks, sell treasuries. And the US loses the trade war.” Gromen also highlights that the status of gold has been strengthened since the 2008 financial crisis, when it became clear that the US would not reform fiscal policy but instead print money to resolve crises. “Gold is both preserving purchasing power and providing absolute national control,” he concludes. Watch the video to learn more of his insights and understand the evolving dynamics of global capital flows and the strategic importance of gold in today's geopolitical landscape.

President Donald Trump threatened to escalate the trade war with the EU last week – in a social media missive, he suggested a 50% tariff on the EU starting June 1st.

In this packed Friday edition of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold tackles the controversy around James Comey's now-deleted “8647” Instagram post, which the Trump administration is investigating as a potential call for assassination. Jon weighs the possible meanings, whether it was an actual coded threat or just another case of elite hubris, and reacts to Trump's own fiery response. Next, Herold dives into breaking developments within the FBI as Cash Patel reveals the agency is abandoning the Hoover Building and decentralizing operations across the U.S., a move Trump hinted at months earlier. He connects the dots between the shake-up and broader efforts to purge corruption, including the shutdown of the FBI's public corruption unit that once helped launch the Arctic Frost probe into Trump. Other highlights include UnitedHealth's dramatic collapse amid federal fraud investigations, Trump's post-Middle East warning to 150 countries about pending tariffs, and the ongoing GOP failure to pass the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Jon also covers the EU's Digital Services Act and the Trump administration's pushback against global censorship laws. Blending breaking news, geopolitical analysis, and unfiltered commentary, this episode captures the chaos and clarity of a movement reclaiming power one headline at a time.

In a powerful and emotionally charged broadcast, the tragic murder of 40-year-old Larisha Sherrell Thompson by six illegal immigrants in Lancaster County becomes a flashpoint for criticism of South Carolina's immigration enforcement under Governor Henry McMaster. The commentary calls for immediate action, citing Florida's more aggressive policies as a model. Shifting from local tragedy to global tensions, the episode also delves into the recent U.S.–China trade negotiations, debunking media misreporting and highlighting Trump's tough stance against the Chinese Communist Party. Through both segments, the host weaves a common thread: failed leadership has dire consequences—whether at home or on the world stage.

Economist and former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis discusses the merits and pitfalls of Trump's tariff plan, growing populist movements in Europe, the EU's "dangerous" and misguided push toward military Keynesianism, and Israel's destruction of Gaza. ----------------------------------------------------- Watch full episodes on Rumble, streamed LIVE 7pm ET.

In this episode of Coin Stories with Natalie Brunell featuring Col. Douglas Macgregor, retired U.S. Army colonel, military strategist, and frequent geopolitical commentator, for a timely conversation on the heels of the Trump administration's 100-Day celebration. He is also the CEO of  ⁨@OurCountryOurChoice⁩ . In classic form, Col. Macgregor delivers bold, contrarian takes on U.S. foreign policy, global conflict and the financial future of America, and he doesn't hesitate to criticize both sides of the isle. Topics discussed include: His latest critique of tariffs, global trade policy, and the long-term impact of the U.S.–China trade war America's weakening economic and geopolitical leverage in ending military escalations The contrast between a “Golden Age” and the need for fiscal discipline including budget cuts and reduced sovereign interest payments Whether it's time to acknowledge Social Security as beyond repair and what alternatives might look like Tribalism in American politics Bitcoin ultimately replacing fiat currency “because there is no where else to go” The consequences of a financialized economy And much more! Col. Macgregor analyzes some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation today, issues that are complex and difficult to confront. His perspective is contrarian yet strikingly bipartisan, offering a rare lens through which to examine America's future. --- Coin Stories is powered by Bitwise.

Schiff argues that Trump's administration manipulated markets with strategic statements, but didn't address the fundamental economic issues, like the hollowing out of America's manufacturing base. Schiff also discusses gold's surge to a near all-time high, contrasting it with Bitcoin's performance. He criticizes the U.S. focus on becoming a crypto superpower at the expense of industrialization. Schiff concludes with commentary on rejected mortgage refinancing applications and existing home sales reflecting economic weakness, promoting gold and gold mining stocks as the best investment strategy.
