A shift in leadership often brings a shift in economic direction, and with that, a wave of uncertainty for business leaders. Recent changes in trade policy have sparked a great deal of conversation (and concern) around tariffs, trade imbalances, and global supply chains. But what we're seeing now isn't the final chapter—it's part of a broader strategy to reshape the future of international trade and industrial development in the U.S. The goals are ambitious: addressing the national debt, correcting long-standing trade deficits, bringing key industries back onshore, and rethinking the rules of global commerce. While the path forward may seem unpredictable, there is a long-term vision driving these moves. The U.S. has long relied on the free market to guide economic outcomes, but certain challenges, like national security and the health of strategic industries, require more than market forces alone. Trade, especially when it intersects with geopolitical and security interests, demands a more hands-on approach. So, what does this mean for today's financial leaders? How should CFOs be preparing for the ripple effects of tariffs and other trade measures? In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with Dr. Steve Horan, Former Managing Director of the prestigious CFA Institute and Finance Professor at UNC-Wilmington, to explore the broader implications of evolving trade policy. We talk about the big picture—debt reduction, onshoring trends, and how leaders can position their organizations for success in this dynamic environment. In this episode, you'll learn: The least painful path to reducing the national debt Are tariffs a tax or a tool? Will tariffs be an effective trade negotiation lever What's really driving interest rates The biggest concern for CFOs right now (hint: it's not what you think)   Guest Bio Dr. Steve Horan is an Associate Professor of Finance at UNC Wilmington. Throughout his 30 years in the industry, Steve has leveraged his experience as a practitioner, educator and thought leader to engage the investment management profession on key industry issues. Steve's distinct blend of academic and professional experience has given him a strong strategic sense, and the ability to apply a rigorous analytical framework to any situation. He strives to stay current in his knowledge and progressive in his thinking. Steve has written and co-written numerous articles and books, received several industry awards, and enjoyed a spell as an Financial Times columnist. He continues to provide media commentary, cited in publications from The Wall Street Journal to The New York Times to the South China Morning Post. Steve believes that an industry composed of competent and ethical practitioners is a necessary ingredient to build an investment profession that protects investors and ultimately contributes to a better society.

That Solo Life, Episode 289: The New Challenges in Managing Brand Reputation Summary This episode of "That Solo Life" podcast explores the challenges PR professionals manage when brands are faced with crises, particularly serious situations like allegations of child abuse. The hosts, Karen Swim, APR and Michelle Kane discuss the importance of building trust with audiences, maintaining authenticity and integrity, and providing nuanced responses rather than knee-jerk reactions. They emphasize the need for civility, context, and an understanding that not every mistake or misstep warrants an extreme public backlash. The hosts also acknowledge the difficulty of navigating these issues as PR professionals who are also impacted by the toxicity and chaos in the broader society. In This Episode   Karen Swim, APR and Michelle Kane discuss the modern complexities of reputation management and proactive crisis management in Episode 289 of That Solo Life. The internet has created a tinderbox that can quickly ignite a spark of discord into a firestorm of crisis.  Today's  discussion kicks off with a real-life example of a local business facing severe allegations of child abuse linked to previous ownership. Michelle and Karen explore the challenges that new ownership faces as they attempt to distance themselves from the past while managing public perception. They emphasize the importance of effective messaging and the need for PR professionals to guide brands through these turbulent waters. Karen highlights the broader context of how society has shifted towards a more polarized viewpoint, where nuance and reasoned thinking seem to be in short supply. The hosts discuss the tendency for public opinion to swing dramatically, often overlooking the complexities of individual situations. They stress the importance of context in evaluating a brand's response to crises, noting that not every misstep warrants immediate condemnation. As the conversation unfolds, Karen  and Michelle reflect on the pressures brands face in the digital age, where the loudest voices often drown out the majority who may hold more moderate views. They point out that while brands must be authentic and true to their values, they also need to build trust with their audiences over time. This trust becomes crucial when navigating crises, as it can help mitigate backlash and foster understanding. The episode also touches on the rapid spread of misinformation and the consequences it can have on brand reputation. The hosts share a recent example involving a soda company that faced backlash over a marketing campaign, illustrating how quickly narratives can spiral out of control without proper context. In closing, Karen and Michelle encourage PR professionals to remain steadfast in their values and to continue making ethical decisions, even amidst chaos. They express hope for a return to civility and nuance in public discourse, emphasizing that by doing the right thing, we can collectively contribute to a more informed and understanding society. Listeners are invited to share their thoughts and experiences, and the hosts encourage feedback on topics they would like to see covered in future episodes.

In this episode of the FedBiz'5 podcast, host Bobby Testa sat down with senior government contracting specialist Frank Krebs to discuss the changing landscape of government contracting under the new Trump administration. With small businesses wondering what 2025 holds, Frank provided key insights and strategies to stay competitive.What Small Businesses Should ExpectWith the administration's first 100 days underway, many agencies like the Department of Education and the EPA are facing potential budget cuts, creating uncertainty. However, Frank emphasized not to panic—billions in government contracts will still be available, particularly in stable sectors like the Department of Defense and Homeland Security.Additionally, businesses should anticipate a slowdown in new government contract awards as agencies reassess budgets and priorities. While this may seem like a setback, it also presents an opportunity to refine strategies and establish stronger relationships with contracting officers.Key Strategies for SuccessReassess Your Position – Review your SAM.gov and DSBS profiles to ensure accuracy and relevance. Make sure they align with your current business goals and capabilities.Update Your Capability Statement – Your capability statement is often the first impression contracting officers get of your business. Ensure your NAICS codes, past performance, and contact details are up to date.Increase Government Marketing – Now is the time to reach out to contracting officers before they get overwhelmed. Building relationships now will keep you top-of-mind when contracts become available.Why Market Now?Although new contract awards may be slow, contracting officers are preparing for an influx of work. They are currently reviewing potential vendors, making this the perfect time to establish connections. By reaching out now, sending capability statements, and scheduling briefings, businesses can position themselves ahead of the competition.Another key factor is the expected reduction in available contracting officers due to hiring freezes and potential agency restructuring. When contracts begin flowing again, many officers will be handling the workload of multiple people. If your business has already established a relationship with them, you're far more likely to be on their radar when they need vendors quickly.Final ThoughtsFrank advises small businesses to stay informed through the FedBiz Access website and continue positioning themselves for upcoming opportunities. Being proactive, staying compliant, and refining marketing efforts now will put businesses in a prime position for future government contracts.If you haven't already, start optimizing your government contracting strategy today.

Avination, welcome back to episode 329 of the Pilot to Pilot podcast today's episode is with my buddy, Mike Pardillo.

This is a cheeky bonus excerpt from the longer episode. To listen to the whole thing and future episodes become a member of The Pelo. You won't want to miss these exclusive chats dropping throughout the 2025 season! It's been a long, cold winter, but Svein and I are back for the 2025 season with a fresh ep of Life In The Peloton: Chronicles for you - the Pelo members.  Just like when we were pro cyclists, which feels like a long time ago now, we had ourselves a little off season to reset, freshen up, and make plans for the next year. It was great to catch up with Sveino for the first time since October, and this month we're talking all about kicking off a new season as a rider. That mental reset is just as important as the physical one, and after a little break, Sveino and I are itching to get going! Things have changed a lot since we were riders. Back in our day, we had a relaxed start to the racing season; plenty of base miles over the winter, then rock up to Tour Down Under ready to get some intensity in the legs and build towards the first “real” races in the Spring. Sveino even rode 2000km from Canada to California for an early season team camp in 2003 to build some fitness after a winter relaxing out in the snow and skiing rather than riding! I love hearing Sveino's wild, adventurous stories - he's like the original Lachy Morton. Nowadays, early season races like the Tour Down Under are real targets for a lot of riders. Whether it's a team hunting UCI points to avoid relegation, neo pros that need to start getting experience in the bunch with the big boys, or legendary riders targeting San Remo in March that want some race KMs in their legs before their competitors back in Europe. We've just had the 25th edition of the race, and I was down in Adelaide getting stuck into the action in the commentary booth, at the roadside, and - of course - behind the pod mic, catching up with some old mates. Svein and I listened back to some great chats with our old mates Michael Hepburn, Luke Durbridge, Sam Bewley, and Aaron Gate about the Tour Down Under and how it can set a rider up for the season ahead.  I also caught up with a guy I used to love spinning a yarn with in the bunch; the president of the CPA, Adam Hansen. We spoke about the new UCI rules that will impact the races this season. New feedzone regulations, changes to time gaps if you crash in the final, and the introduction of yellow cards for multiple infractions - it's going to keep the riders on their toes this year, that's for sure.   As always, Svein and I chat about a heap of other topics - with plenty of anecdotes from our time in the bunch and the years since we both hung up the race wheels. I love telling these stories, and I hope you love hearing them. Cheers! Mitch

Karen Read, who is set to face a retrial in January on charges related to the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, returned to court for a contentious motions hearing. Prosecutors are seeking additional evidence to bolster their case, including Read's parents' phone records. Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan argued that the phone calls Read made to her parents shortly after the incident could imply her awareness of the alleged crime. “Ms. Read calls her father and her mother a little after 1 o'clock on the night she struck and killed John O'Keefe,” Brennan said. “She knew she had done something terrible. She knew she had struck John O'Keefe and left him behind.” Read's attorney, Elizabeth Little, strongly opposed the motion, describing it as a “fishing expedition.” She emphasized privacy concerns, stating, “The Commonwealth already has Read's cell phone records. They should not need her parents' records as well.” Little highlighted how prior defense motions to obtain phone records from individuals allegedly involved in a cover-up had been denied on similar privacy grounds. Judge Beverly Cannone deferred ruling on the motion, leaving the issue unresolved for now. David Yanetti, another member of Read's defense team, raised concerns about Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey. Yanetti alleged Morrissey had engaged in improper communications and noted that the DA had spelled Read's name as "Reed" in some communications. “We don't know if he did that for the purpose of avoiding a FOIA request or if he just misspelled my client's name,” Yanetti said, adding that Morrissey's phone was set to auto-delete messages after 30 days. Karen Read's legal defense team continues to grow as the high-profile case moves toward retrial. During the hearing, Read's attorneys sought approval for Robert Alessi, a New York-based partner at DLA Piper LLP, to join the team. “With his background, with his experience, he is going to add value to this team and protect my client's constitutional rights,” Yanetti explained. Alessi's expertise in cross-examining expert witnesses is expected to be pivotal as the prosecution plans to introduce a new expert in the retrial. Brennan revealed that the expert would testify that O'Keefe's injuries were survivable had he received treatment within one to two hours. The prosecution also filed motions seeking unedited video footage and notes from media interviews Read conducted. These motions, opposed by the media outlets, have yet to receive a response from Read's attorneys. As the January trial approaches, both sides continue to prepare for what promises to be a closely watched courtroom battle. #KarenRead #BostonPolice #JohnOKeefe #CriminalTrial #LegalUpdates #Justice #CourtroomDrama Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
