Send me a messageIn this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I sat down with Jim McCullen, CTO of Century Supply Chain Solutions, to unpack how technology—particularly AI—is quietly but effectively reshaping the logistics space.Jim's been with Century for over 30 years, which is practically unheard of in tech. We discussed what's kept him there so long, and how he's used that time to help major importers bring order to supply chain chaos—from managing tariff shifts and port disruptions to reducing carbon emissions through smarter origin management.We explored why North American firms lean more heavily on origin cargo management than their counterparts elsewhere, and how AI is now finally delivering real value—whether it's helping route freight more efficiently or enabling natural language queries through supply chain chatbots. Importantly, Jim also touched on the need for trust in AI systems and how they're rolling it out in ways that support rather than replace people.Other topics we covered: how data integration is still holding supply chains back, the balance between resilience and sustainability, and why training like a mountain bike racer actually makes sense if you're trying to stay focused in a complex global operation.If you're looking for practical ways to modernise supply chain operations, reduce emissions, and respond more intelligently to disruption, this one's worth your time.Listen noElevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

Financial Times Bureau Chief, Joe Leahy discusses the agreement between the US and China to cut tariffs for ninety days.
Canada has experienced a disruptive start to 2025, with PM Justin Trudeau stepping down as Liberal leader, prompting a leadership campaign and a prorogued parliament . With a federal election looming, Canadians, among other problems, are facing affordability issues and to top it off, US President Donald Trump threatened to impose 25-percent tariffs on a wide range of imports from Canada and 10-percent tariffs on oil and gas. Those US tariffs were set to begin Feb 4, but have been delayed by at least 30 days as the countries work together on border security and trade imbalance. However, for many Canadians, the potential for a trade war between two longtime allies continues to fuel anger, despair and confusion over what may be coming next. The speaker will try to make sense of it all, while analyzing the response from governments and political leaders including Liberal leadership contenders. Speaker: Shannon Phillips Shannon brings over two decades of experience in public policy, governance, and leadership in energy and the environment to her role as a partner at Meredith Boessenkool & Phillips. Her experience includes serving as the Minister of Environment and Parks and Minister Responsible for the Climate Change Office in Rachel Notley's government, where she was responsible for climate policy, conservation expansion, and Indigenous reconciliation efforts. She also established Alberta's first standalone Ministry for the Status of Women. From 2015-19, Shannon was the driving force behind Alberta's Climate Leadership Plan. Phillips led the coal phase-out, renewable energy expansion, and energy efficiency programs that boosted Alberta's GDP and created jobs across the province. Shannon also represented Alberta on the national and international stage, including leading delegations to UN climate conferences in Paris and Marrakech. Phillips won three elections as a progressive woman candidate in Southern Alberta – an accomplishment most would have dismissed as far-fetched just a decade ago. She is an experienced and successful campaigner, organizer and grassroots leader. She continues to focus on mentorship and training of a new generation of activists and candidates. Shannon is a strong communicator in both of Canada's official languages, a skill that serves her well in her extensive policy and advocacy work on the national and international stage. Deeply committed to her community, Shannon continues to strengthen her relationship with the Blackfoot people of southern Alberta and is a Blackfoot Headdress holder and recipient of a Blackfoot name. In addition to her work in the community, Shannon serves as an Adjunct Faculty member in the Department of Political Science at the University of Lethbridge and was recognized as a YWCA Woman of Distinction in 2017. Shannon enjoys spending time with her two sons outdoors, particularly in the Canadian Rockies.

With that theme in mind, we also touch on European competitiveness, research and innovation.
Market Reactions to Trade Tariffs and Economic Indicators In this episode of Dividend Cafe, Brian Szytel discusses the market downturn on April 16, highlighting the NASDAQ's 1.8% drop and the DOW's 700-point decline. Key factors include the impact of tariffs on the largest AI chipmaker, leading to broad market concerns about earnings season, forward guidance, and PE ratios. Despite the selloff, energy stocks closed up by 0.8%, with WTI rising 2%. Retail sales unexpectedly rose by 1.4%, while industrial production saw a slight decline. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's comments on tariffs further fueled market uncertainty. The episode concludes with a discussion on tariffs' economic effects, including potential shifts in manufacturing jobs and the broader implications on the U.S. economy. Brian also addresses audience questions about inflation and the potential return of manufacturing jobs to the U.S., emphasizes the interconnected nature of global trade, and previews upcoming episodes. 00:00 Market Overview and Opening Remarks 00:31 Impact of Trade and Tariffs 01:30 Sector Performance and Economic Indicators 02:33 Federal Reserve Comments and Market Reactions 03:26 Q&A: Tariffs and Economic Implications 05:28 Conclusion and Upcoming Events Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
On April 2nd, the U.S. government announced a host of sweeping tariff hikes with every single one of America's trading partners. The aim of the so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs was ostensibly to “rebalance” the global trading system, as some Trump advisors have put it.However, the drastic measure roiled markets and eventually resulted in the President imposing a 90-day pause on most tariffs, with the exception of strategic sectors and imports from China. India, for its part, was slapped with a 26% tariff even as top officials were negotiating a bilateral trade agreement with their American counterparts.While the fate of future tariffs and any side agreements are unknown, the episode raises serious questions about India's global economic strategy. To talk about where India goes from here, Milan is joined on the show this week by Shoumitro Chatterjee. Shoumitro is an Assistant Professor of International Economics at Johns Hopkins-SAIS. His research lies at the intersection of development economics, trade, and macroeconomics, but he has also done seminal work on the role of agriculture in development.Milan and Shoumitro discuss India's surprising export-led success, its underperformance in low-skilled manufacturing, and the country's inward turn post-2017. Plus, the two discuss how India can take advantage of the current global uncertainty and where the politically sensitive agricultural sector fits in.Episode notes:1.

Jason and Rahul Sen Sharma, an expert on indexes from Index (INDXX), discuss global economic shifts, trade wars, and the stock market. His company tracks over $20 billion in index-based assets, aiding companies in creating indexes, ETFs, and funds. He emphasizes focusing on long-term macro trends over daily market noise, highlighting "re-globalization" as a key shift driven by supply chain vulnerabilities and a desire for friendly-shoring and near-shoring. While tariffs may offer short-term benefits to some countries like India and Mexico, the focus should be on transformative trends like EVs, battery tech, renewables, and critical metals for long-term investment. He also touches on the importance of understanding index rulebooks due to performance divergences and addresses concerns about the S&P 500's concentration, suggesting the marketplace will dictate the need for alternative weighting. https://www.indxx.com/ #Indexes #Economy #TradeWar #Tariffs #StockMarket #Globalization #Reglobalization #Friendshoring #Nearshoring #Investment #Finance #ETFs #MarketTrends #Macroeconomics #RahulSenSharma #INDXX Key Takeaways: 1:28 Meet Rahul 2:16 Broad strokes and taking a macro view 5:11 Reglobalization 7:49 Level playing field 9:43 Where do we go from here 13:16 A difference in indexes 16:24 Self-indexing and the active managers 20:50 The big picture perspective Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
Debate between Keith Rabois and Zach Weinberg on what tariffs are actually trying to accomplish. One core theme: Tariffs aren't fully about “bringing back factories,” but rather a negotiation tool to eliminate foreign trade barriers - ultimately aiming to increase free trade, not restrict it.We also got into:- What each of them would do if they were in charge- Whether the trade deficit is a meaningful metric or just a misunderstood talking point- If tariffs could be part of an initiative to replace income tax — shifting toward a more consumption-based tax system- If tariffs could successfully be used as a non-military tool to reduce drug supply to the US- If there's a major disconnect between the new administration's rhetoric and the actual economic goals behind the policyOne of the deepest economic conversations from the show's recent history — and a rare debate where both sides had real logic behind their views.(00:00) Introduction and Host's Biases(00:46) Keith's Perspective on Tariffs(03:05) Zach's Perspective and Clarifying Questions(05:14) Debating Tariff Strategies(07:45) Economic Implications and Free Trade(13:31) Trump's Tariff Policies and Goals(16:57) Global Trade and Protectionism(25:52) Final Thoughts on Tariffs and Trade(29:16) Discussion on Trade Tariffs and Partners(30:17) Impact of Tariffs on GDP and Debt(31:20) Political Coalitions and Trade Policies(32:00) Tariffs as Consumer Taxes(33:30) Debate on Trade Deficit and Tariff Rates(36:53) Regulatory Reforms and Economic Policies(47:25) Fentanyl Crisis and Trade Negotiations(51:06) Closing Remarks and Future TopicsExecutive Producer: Rashad AssirProducer: Leah ClapperMixing and editing: Justin HrabovskyCheck out Unsupervised Learning, Redpoint's AI Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@UCUl-s_Vp-Kkk_XVyDylNwLA

In this segment, Marc Cox is joined by Jessie Jane Duff, who discusses key political and economic issues such as trade imbalances, tariff policies, and the impact of unfair trade practices, particularly with countries like China. They dive into historical context, including Nancy Pelosi's 1996 comments on tariff disparities, and analyze Donald Trump's approach to addressing these issues. The conversation shifts to the complex topic of immigration, including the debate over illegal immigration, the economic consequences of undocumented workers, and the criticism of employers hiring them.

The segment also covers the economic implications of tariffs on the stock market, government job creation, and the labor market.
In this episode, Ricardo discusses the impact of tariffs and global trade tensions on project management. He shares five practical tips: (1) Review international dependencies to assess risks to cost and timelines; (2) Diversify suppliers to reduce vulnerability to specific countries; (3) Update risk analysis to include political and economic uncertainties like customs delays or currency fluctuations; (4) Communicate clearly with stakeholders to maintain trust; and (5) Explore local sourcing to avoid international instability. These strategies help navigate market volatility and keep projects on track. Proactive planning, not passivity, is essential in times of global uncertainty and disruption.

Donald Trump has plunged markets and economies into turmoil after announcing sweeping trade tariffs across all of the USA's global trade partners. The tariffs start at a minimum of 10%, and for some countries reach over 40%. Nations like China have already begun to retaliate, imposing reciprocal tariffs on the US. Aotearoa, which had the baseline 10% tariff put on its trade with the US, has chosen not to fight back - instead joining a number of neutral countries with no response. Since the tariffs were imposed this weekend, share markets have dropped to levels not seen since covid lockdowns. Producer Evie spoke to Senior Economics Lecturer at the University of Otago, Murat Ungor about what the potential impact of these tariffs could be on Aotearoa and its economy.
As the world reels from President Trump's trade tariffs, one of Africa's smallest, poorest nations takes one of the biggest hits – we speak to the trade minister of Lesotho. We also hear from a former US defense secretary, on how worried America's 'allies' should be.Also in the programme: the home city of Ukraine's President Zelensky suffers a deadly Russian missile attack; and we remember the world famous Malian musician Amadou, of Amadou and Mariam, who has died.
President Trump's announcement of sweeping new tariffs on goods entering the United States from around the world has caused chaos in international markets, and producers have been trying to work out what it'll mean for them. The UK faces tariffs of 10% on all exports to the States. The US is the third largest export market for UK farmers after Ireland and France, according to the most recent DEFRA figures. On average, we sell £68 million worth of cheese, £23 million worth of pork and around £3 million worth of beef to the States every year. Salmon is another major food export. All week we've been visiting islands and hearing about the advantages and challenges of living in some of the UK's most beautiful places. A survey by the Young Islanders Network found the biggest concern for young people in Scotland's islands, is housing – or a lack of it. We speak to people about some of the problems they've faced - and some of the solutions.For communities on the Isle of Lewis off the west coast of Scotland. ferries are essential - and for crofters who have livestock, the ferry service is a vital part of their farming business. However getting animals on and off the island by boat isn't always predictable. In Guernsey, dairy farmers have welcomed a decision to increase the support they receive from the island's government.Firefighters are warning of the 'extreme risk' of wildfires in Scotland. The fire service has issued its third warning this year after fires in hills near Glasgow and in Aberdeenshire. It says after a spell of warm weather there is plenty of dry vegetation which can act as fuel for fires, and is urging people not to light fires outside this week.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney
Analysts are warning of increased risk of recession in the United States, and major economies like China and the European Union have threatened to retaliate. New Zealand's trade and foreign ministers say we've got the best outcome possible, but officials are still working out what it all means. Economists say the message for Kiwis is not to panic. Political reporter Russell Palmer has more. Trade Minister Todd McClay spoke to Lisa Owen.

Marc dives into the heated conversation about the U.S.'s trade imbalance with countries like Japan, India, and the EU, where unfair tariffs on American goods are making it nearly impossible for U.S. businesses to compete. He's joined by Madeline Rivera from Fox News, live from the White House, as she sheds light on President Trump's plans for imposing tariffs in a bid to level the playing field and boost domestic manufacturing. Rivera explains how Trump sees tariffs as a negotiating tool, with the goal of forcing other nations to reduce their rates. While some expect short-term pain for consumers, Trump believes the long-term benefits will strengthen American businesses. Marc and Madeline discuss the ongoing uncertainty about the exact details of the tariff plan and whether it will be revealed in time for Liberation Day. Tune in for insights into Trump's "art of the deal" approach and the potential consequences for global trade.
President Trump proposed tariff reductions on Chinese goods in exchange for cooperation on a deal regarding TikTok, as the April deadline approaches. He suggested that the current 20% tariff could lower if it aids in resolving the TikTok sale. TikTok must find a new owner or face a potential ban; the deadline was initially set for January but extended to April 5. Various parties, including Kevin O'Leary and Frank McCourt, have expressed interest in purchasing TikTok, with an offer of $20 billion. Analysts estimate TikTok's value at over $100 billion due to its large user base of 170 million in the U.S. A ban on TikTok could impact U.S. small businesses and creators, leading to potential revenue losses exceeding $1 billion within a month.
