Making International Trade Fun!

With over 95% of consumers living outside of the United States, there is a strong incentive for businesses, big and small, to go global. However, it can sometimes feel daunting to understand how international trade works, what tripping points there are, and where to even start. In this episode your fearless hosts dive right into a conversation about the power of imports and exports to improve lives and make global connections.

In addition, the conversation covers why "Free Trade" gets a bad wrap, as it should really be looked at as "Free and Fair Trade" to open up new markets and allow for new technologies to cross borders and pushes down costs. On the other hand, where tariffs and controls do exist, this creates competitive disadvantages for companies trying to price their products competitively. By listening to this episode you will come away with a better understanding of the power of international trade, the pitfalls, and opportunities to hear about some of the more unique tariff evasion schemes!
