Podcasts about global trade

In this episode of The Global Ecommerce Leaders Podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Jim Okamura deliver a comprehensive deep dive into the state of global retail and ecommerce, anchored by insights from the recent GELF NYC reboot dinner—the first major in-person gathering of the community in some time. With global executives from leading international brands in the room, the event served as both a reunion and a reality check on the forces reshaping cross-border commerce.Jim and Michael reflect on the energy in New York—highlighted by lively discussions around brand integrity, organizational design, and the rising complexity of global go-to-market strategies. Leaders shared how they manage brand consistency across distributors, marketplaces, and wholesale partners, while simultaneously navigating volatile regulatory environments and shifting tariff structures. The hosts explore how pricing—once a simple currency-conversion exercise—has become a multidimensional challenge as identical goods now carry drastically different landed costs depending on origin, routing, and trade agreements.AI also dominated the conversation. Executives compared notes on AI-enhanced content creation, its accelerating demand for high-quality assets, and the tension between efficiency and brand protection. Michael highlights how generative AI is already intersecting with marketplaces, reshaping purchase journeys, and raising questions about attribution, KPIs, and data governance. Jim adds perspectives from his Ebeltoft global meetings, where consultants from Europe, APAC, and beyond echoed similar themes: AI is advancing faster than any previous digital disruption, and brands worldwide are preparing for what many are calling the first true “AI-powered holiday season.”The episode also previews GELF's next six months. First up: a Canada-focused virtual event in early December to analyze cross-border performance and help U.S. brands calibrate their 2026 strategies. Then, an LA reboot dinner in February to reconnect with West Coast leaders, followed by planning for a Global Experts Workshop in early 2026—a hands-on symposium for senior global executives managing complex international networks.Finally, Michael and Jim touch on the growing role of NRF's global shows, the rise of NRF Europe and APAC, and the renewed international momentum behind retail innovation gatherings. As always, they close by inviting brands to reach out, share their challenges, and help shape future GELF programming. This episode is a rich, timely resource for anyone navigating global ecommerce, cross-border growth, trade uncertainty or the accelerating influence of AI on international retail.  Presented by StreamCommerce, a full-service consultancy that ideates, strategizes, and executes growth marketing solutions for their clients.

Technological revolutions rarely unfold the way we imagine. From the steam engine to AI, each wave reshapes who creates value - and who gets left behind. What if artificial intelligence isn't a revolution at all, but a late-stage innovation like shipping containers - transforming efficiency without changing the underlying system? Jerry Neuman joins the Jacob Shapiro Podcast and questions whether openness still drives progress, whether innovation can survive without risk, and why the next great leap forward might not be digital, but something we haven't yet learned to see.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction(01:17) - Jerry Newman's Background and Career Journey(07:40) - The Evolution of Technology and Job Markets(12:52) - Impact of AI on Future Jobs(17:14) - Geopolitics and Technological Innovation(26:28 Comparing Historical and Modern Technological Revolutions(29:48) - Debating the Future of Innovation in Open Societies(31:35) - The Rise and Skepticism of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency(35:11) - AI and the Next Technological Revolution(40:53) - The Impact of Containerization on Global Trade(52:17) - Speculating on Future Technological Innovations(57:18) - The Importance of Nurturing Innovation--Referenced in the Show:AI Will Not Make You Rich - https://joincolossus.com/article/ai-will-not-make-you-rich/--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

Over 4,100 companies from 155 countries and regions have set up shops at this year's China International Import Expo, where opportunity meets open markets. What's fueling the CIIE's magnetic pull?

As geopolitics shakes our perception of the world on a nearly daily basis, how does this translate in the tangible terms of the economy? Are states that seem at odds with each other actually avoiding investing in each other, or are they in fact doing business together? And are they doing so more than they did before the current tensions, or less? Host Sabina Șancu and programme executive Francisco Lopez sat down with Tiago Devesa, senior fellow at the McKinsey Global Institute, to discuss trade distances and geopolitical divides, and assess trade diversification.

Trade policies shape everything from the price of goods to the stability of global economies, but how do they actually work? In part one of this two-part series, Plugged into Public Health host Lauren Lavin sits down with Dr. Anne Villamil, professor of economics at the University of Iowa Tippie College of Business, to unpack the history and complexity of international trade. Dr. Villamil shares her experience working at the U.S. Trade Representative's Office in Washington, D.C., and explains how trade institutions like the World Bank and World Trade Organization came to exist after World War II. Together, they explore how trade agreements are negotiated, what lessons past trade wars can teach us, and why tariffs are back in the spotlight today.

In this dynamic episode of The Food Professor Podcast, presented by Caddle, co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois dive into the latest headlines shaping Canada's food and beverage sector before welcoming Kiran Mann, CEO of Brar's, one of North America's fastest-growing South Asian food manufacturers.The episode opens with a timely look at the hospitality boost from the Toronto Blue Jays' World Series run, a much-needed economic shot in the arm for restaurants and bars coast-to-coast. From there, Sylvain unpacks fresh Canadian inflation data, connecting global trade policy, tariffs, and drought-driven beef shortages to continued food-price volatility. He explains why Canadian beef prices will likely remain high until mid-2027, and how regional differences—from Saskatchewan's 5.5 percent food inflation to Ontario's 3.5 percent—highlight a widening national divide. The conversation also tackles layoffs at Molson Coors and Nestlé, changing consumer habits amid the Ozempic effect, and why Big CPG must reinvent itself as Canadians buy more locally produced goods. The duo rounds out the news rundown with an update on Agropur's cottage-cheese lockout and a surprising salmonella outbreak in dog treats, underscoring the need for better pet-food safety oversight.Then, Michael and Sylvain welcome Kiran Mann, an inspirational immigrant entrepreneur and visionary leader steering Brar's from family-run origins to a national and expanding international powerhouse. Mann shares her remarkable journey—from her roots in Amritsar, India, to leading a modern Canadian company that connects authentic Indian flavours with contemporary manufacturing innovation. She explains Brar's evolution across three categories—dairy, snacks, and sweets—including its beloved samosas, signature paneer, and pure-vegetarian veggie burgers.Mann introduces her proprietary “Harmonic System”—a leadership and operational philosophy grounded in balance, authenticity, and purpose. Her approach integrates people, process, and passion, ensuring that growth doesn't outpace culture or quality. The discussion explores how Brar's sustains traditional recipes while using food science to extend shelf life naturally, create sustainable packaging, and meet the needs of health-conscious, multicultural consumers. Looking ahead, Mann outlines her strategy of “depth and impact,” combining Canadian multiculturalism, sustainable supply chains, and bold U.S. expansion to make Brar's a global ambassador of modern Indian cuisine made in Canada.

Importing from China, even with Trump Tariffs 2.0, may still be viable today and in the near future.  Today, it still is the best option compared to the other rising manufacturing companies like Vietnam, India, and Thailand.  Compared to America, manufacturing in China is still the best option even factoring in the transit costs and 3PL costs.  However, in the far future, China might not be the country to manufacture from.  We're holding a special Importing from China webinar on October 8th where we'll be talking about how you can find products that still make sense to source only in China (and skip the ones that don't) while getting the lowest tariff rates and more!

Global Trade Talks co-hosts Nicole Simonian and Dj Wolff welcome Karen Gerwitz, President of the World Trade Center Denver, as she provides insight to our listeners on how companies are managing and operating in this uncertain trade environment where they are often waiting for the next shoe to drop. Global Trade Talks is a podcast that shares brief perspectives on key global issues on international trade, current events, business, law, and public policy as they impact our lives.

In the latest episode of The Global eCommerce Leaders Podcast, co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Jim Okamura return to the mic to tackle one of the most pressing issues in international retail: uncertainty in global commerce. From the shifting dynamics of tariffs and the elimination of de minimis thresholds to the resilience of brands doubling down on cross-border strategies, this conversation is essential listening for executives navigating today's volatile environment.Jim reflects on a busy summer spent speaking at industry events, including Shoptalk, the Parcel Forum, and gatherings hosted by international trade groups. Across these forums, the message was consistent: brands and retailers need a dedicated community to share strategies, find new growth opportunities, and adapt to disruptive policy shifts. This insight has energized the GELF team to reimagine the role of the Global eCommerce Leaders Forum (GELF) in 2026 and beyond.The episode revisits GELF's origins over a decade ago, when it first brought together a niche group of international retail leaders in a whiskey bar to discuss global expansion. Since then, GELF has grown into the only U.S.-based conference and community fully dedicated to international retail growth, serving as the go-to destination for executives seeking best practices in eCommerce, wholesale, licensing, and franchising. Today, GELF is widening its lens beyond eCommerce alone to focus on the broader landscape of global commerce strategies, from DTC and marketplaces to partnerships and distribution.The conversation dives into the financial impact of policy changes on major brands like Lululemon and Coach (Tapestry Group), who are navigating steep tariff hits and recalibrating inbound and outbound supply chains. Yet despite these headwinds, international VPs remain resolute: global expansion is still a top strategic priority. As Jim notes, companies are treating tariffs and policy shifts not as reasons to retreat but as problems to solve on the road to growth.Looking forward, Michael and Jim unveil plans for a Global Experts Workshop in early 2026, designed to serve advanced global brands with deep-dive sessions on issues such as brand integrity, pricing architecture, and international organizational design. But before that, GELF is reactivating the community with a private executive dinner in New York City on October 22, 2025, co-hosted with Channel Engine and Livingston International. This intimate gathering will set the stage for GELF's 2026 agenda and reconnect leaders in a collaborative environment.Ultimately, this episode captures the spirit of GELF's mission: providing a trusted platform where global retail executives can share experiences, address challenges, and build the strategies that will define the future of global commerce.

In this episode of Future of Work, Dr. Salvatrice Cummo speaks with Mario Cordero, Chief Executive Officer of the Port of Long Beach and former Chair of the Federal Maritime Commission. Mario shares how the Port pairs competitiveness with sustainability, why the Green Port Policy still matters twenty years on, and what it will take to move toward continuous operations across the supply chain. From tariff uncertainty to zero emission goals and major rail investments, he connects policy choices to real impacts on prices, jobs, and the communities that live next to our gateways.   You'll learn: What the Green Port Policy has achieved since 2005, including major reductions in diesel soot, NOx, and sulfur oxides, while cargo volumes grew Why the Pier B on the dock rail expansion is central to speed to market and removes hundreds of trucks from freeways with each train How tariff shifts create uncertainty for business and consumers and what steadier policy signals could mean for local jobs What a move toward 24/7 operations would require across terminals, warehouses, and labor, and why the greater cost is doing nothing Why embracing AI as a tool, not a threat, is part of building a future-ready workforce About the Guest: Mario Cordero is Chief Executive Officer of the Port of Long Beach, one of the world's leading seaports and a recognized pioneer in green port initiatives. Appointed CEO in 2017 after serving as Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission under President Obama, he oversees a staff of more than 500 and a $761 million budget. A longtime Long Beach resident, attorney, and former Harbor Commissioner, Cordero spearheaded the landmark Green Port Policy that has become a model for ports worldwide. He has also served on the boards of the American Association of Port Authorities, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco's Los Angeles branch, and the L.A. County Economic Resiliency Task Force. Named to the Los Angeles Business Journal's “LA500” list of top civic leaders for seven consecutive years, Cordero continues to champion sustainability, infrastructure investment, and workforce development at one of the nation's busiest trade gateways.   Engage with us: LinkedIn, Instagram & Facebook: @PasadenaCityCollegeEWD Join our newsletter for more on this topic: ewdpulse.com Visit: PCC EWD website   More from Mario Cordero & Port of Long Beach LinkedIn: @port-of-long-beach Website: https://polb.com/ Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube: @portoflongbeach   Partner with us!

Language differences, compliance challenges, logistics hurdles, and trust issues can overwhelm even the most determined entrepreneurs.
