We want to make military equipment. We want to make big things. We want to make, do the AI thing,” Trump said. Source: worldtribune.com Trump Announces Tariffs For South Africa, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Kazakstan The letters closely follow those sent out earlier in the day to Japan and South Korea, whose products will be hit by a 25 percent tariff rate beginning August 1. Trump told Myanmar and Laos that they will face 40 percent tariffs on their exports, slightly lower than the rates announced at the Trump administration's April 2nd Liberation Day event. In April, Trump said Myanmar would face a 44 percent tariff and Laos a 48 percent tariff. South Africa will face 30 percent tariffs, the same rate announced on Liberation Day. Kazakhstan and Malaysia will both face 25 percent rates, Trump said. Kazakhstan was looking at a 27 percent tariff on Liberation Day and Malaysia was set to be hit with a 24 percent tariff. The administration appears to be fixing tariff rates in five percentage point steps, rounding up or down from the Liberation Day tariffs.

In episode 711, Megan chats to Candice Ward about smart and actionable strategies for content creators looking to work with brands in the ever-evolving 2025 landscape. Candice is a food photographer that has worked with brands like Crisco, In the Raw Sugar, Stone Wall Kitchen, Eagle Brand Milk and more. She is also a strategy and monetization coach for food bloggers and content creators that spent a decade in sales at Fortune 500 Companies, hitting massive quotas. Candice founded The Confident Pitch Program, helping hundreds of content creators monetize and scale their business strategically so they have more time to focus on being creative. She teaches a pitching method that has allowed her to make a full time income on a 10 hour work week, take 1 month off to travel with her family and have creative freedom to only say yes to clients that are in alignment with her brand. She lives in Seattle, WA with her husband and 2 boys. In this episode, you'll learn how to approach brands, pitch confidently, and stay relevant in a market that's moving away from traditional influencer metrics. Key points discussed include: - Brands want long-term relationships: Say goodbye to one-off deals—brands are now investing in ongoing partnerships with creators. - Small creators are thriving: You don't need a huge following to land a brand deal; engagement and value matter more. - Pitch with purpose: Stand out by sending customized, value-driven pitches rather than generic emails. - Leverage your strengths: Whether it's your blog, email list, or YouTube channel, focus on where you already perform well. - Position your offer strategically: Think beyond photos and blog posts—offer digital products, memberships, or UGC services. - Evolve with AI in mind: Adapt your messaging and brand collaborations to reflect a world influenced by AI tools and expectations. - Go beyond social media: Brands are hungry for access to niche audiences outside of the algorithm-heavy platforms. - Think like a marketer: Understand what brands need, and position yourself as the creator who can deliver results.

Greenly is transforming how businesses approach carbon management, evolving from a consumer app to a comprehensive B2B platform that serves over 3,000 corporate customers. With $78 million in funding, the company has positioned itself at the forefront of the carbon accounting market by making sustainability tracking accessible and automated for mid-market companies. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we sat down with Alexis Normand, CEO and Co-Founder of Greenly, to explore the company's remarkable journey from multiple pivots to becoming a leader in carbon management software. Topics Discussed: Greenly's evolution from a consumer carbon tracking app to B2B carbon management platform The strategic pivots that led to finding product-market fit in corporate carbon accounting How regulatory pressure and supply chain demands are driving market adoption The company's approach to building a beautiful, educational brand in a complex technical space Scaling from zero to 3,000 customers through direct acquisition and growth tactics The differences between European and US markets for sustainability software Moving upmarket from SMB to mid-market to improve retention metrics GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Embrace rapid experimentation without killing past initiatives: Alexis didn't immediately abandon previous products when exploring new directions. Instead of completely shutting down the consumer app and banking API, Greenly ran multiple experiments simultaneously. This approach allowed them to maintain revenue streams while testing new markets. The key insight is that early-stage founders should add new experiments rather than kill existing ones, only sunsetting products once new initiatives prove more viable. Leverage market timing and external pressure: Greenly's success wasn't just about building great software—it was about timing their entry when external forces were creating demand. The trickle-down effect of large enterprises requiring carbon data from suppliers created natural buying pressure. As Alexis explained, "When companies start to pledge a real decarbonization pathway, they're asking their suppliers to track their footprint too." B2B founders should identify similar cascading market dynamics where regulatory or business pressures create natural demand for their solutions. Start with underserved segments to build product depth: Rather than targeting large enterprises with existing solutions, Greenly focused on SMBs and mid-market companies who couldn't afford expensive consultants. This strategy allowed them to serve 3,000 customers and encounter "all the corner cases," building a more robust product. While VCs initially questioned the SMB approach, this volume taught them which customers had staying power versus those who only needed periodic compliance help. Make complex topics accessible through brand and education: Greenly's consumer heritage influenced their B2B approach, focusing on education and simplification rather than assuming buyer expertise. Their core value of "making people smarter about climate" translated into clear explanations of concepts like Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. As Alexis noted, "Explaining rather complex things simply is actually harder than you think." B2B founders in technical categories should prioritize education and clarity over industry jargon. Follow the economics to find your true market: Greenly's multiple pivots weren't random—they followed customer willingness to pay and market size potential. When the consumer app reached 40,000 users, they calculated the banking API market at $50-100 million total addressable market. Corporate carbon accounting offered significantly larger opportunity. B2B founders should consistently evaluate whether their current path leads to venture-scale outcomes and pivot based on economic realities, not just product traction. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

On this special episode of the Little Kids, Big hearts podcast, LKBH host Todd Loyd has a conversation with the actor and legend Judge Reinhold. Judge appeared on our podcast at the start of the month — exploring feelings of nervousness and practicing some ways to cope with four big-hearted kids.Now he's back to share his OWN experiences and strategies. It turns out that even having decades of experience as a famous actor doesn't make you immune from feeling anxious, and Judge says that's actually a good thing. He explains: "If you're not nervous, then you're not going to do a good job. And that's how you break down that nervousness and turn it into fuel. It's a good thing. It's going to drive you. Adrenaline can get away from you but it can also make you so sharp and make you better than you. That's that special thing that will make you better than you thought you were, that adrenaline. You have to make it your friend." Learn more about the episode: https://playsparkler.org/feeling-nervous/Or find more resources on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LittleKidsBigHearts

Are you struggling to break through your income ceiling despite working hard and attending countless seminars? In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Noah St. John, known worldwide as the "Father of Afformations" ( with an “o”—to distinguish his approach from traditional affirmations). He found that classic affirmations like “I am confident” or “I am wealthy” often triggered resistance in the subconscious mind. If you don't believe the statement, your brain basically replies, “Yeah, right.” So instead, he developed Afformations, which are empowering questions that assume the positive outcome is already true. For example:This subtle shift turns your brain into a kind of internal search engine, prompting it to look for reasons the statement could be true. He believes this method bypasses internal resistance and rewires limiting beliefs more effectively.So no—he doesn't call them affirmations. He calls them Afformations, and he sees them as a breakthrough in personal development. Want to try crafting a few together? I'd be happy to help.and mental health coach to high-profile clients.

Oil markets went into a state of panic after the United States launched strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, stoking fears that Iran could retaliate by closing the Strait of Hormuz. But Iran's control over the key oil trade route may not be the economic weapon many think it is. We'll explain. And, several provisions in the Republicans' reconciliation bill haven't made it through the so-called “Byrd Bath” and risk being axed from the legislation.
