Welcome back product bosses! If you’ve been scrolling through the news lately and seeing headlines about Trump’s proposed tariffs, you might be wondering what it all means for your business—especially if you rely on overseas manufacturing or imported materials. And let’s be real: the media has a way of making everything feel urgent and overwhelming. But in this episode, I’m here to give you context, clarity, and a path forward.
TRUMP TARIFFS GOT YOU PANICKING? HERE’S WHY SMALL PRODUCT BUSINESSES STILL HAVE THE EDGE.
After two decades in the product space, I’ve weathered recessions, pandemics, supply chain breakdowns, and now—another round of tariff talk. The truth is, this won’t be the last global shift we face as entrepreneurs. But here’s the advantage you have: you are a small business. That means you're nimble, adaptable, and far more capable of pivoting quickly than the big guys. In this episode, I walk you through ways to evaluate your supply chain, explore alternative sourcing (yes, even beyond China), and use this moment to tell a meaningful story to your customers about why your brand matters.
Costs are going up for everyone—big box stores included. I share what I think you should do about price increases and why it is crucial to communicate the value you bring. Your job isn’t to compete with Shein or Amazon. Your job is to serve your ideal customer, tell your unique story, and build a brand that lasts. Because while the global market might be shifting, you’ve already proven you can weather change. And this? This is just another chapter in your success story.
