Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Ideas Become Great Products: Inside Development, Manufacturing & Launch
Q: So if you're going to walk us through the typical timeline between a prototype being released to actually production and you get that thing in your hand, what would that look like?
Timelines vary by product, but generally the most complex items (like printers) take longer due to hardware, firmware, and software integration, while simpler devices (like a USB scanner) move faster; the key is planning around design, samples, and iterative testing to reach a launch-ready state.
How to Navigate U.S.-Canada Tariffs (ft. BDC's Director of Economic Research)
Q: What practical steps can a small business take to mitigate tariff exposure right now?
Identify your tariff exposure early, consider inventory strategies, explore transfer pricing opportunities with professional help, leverage advisory networks (like BDC and EDC), and plan with scenario-based models to anticipate cost and demand shifts.
How to Navigate U.S.-Canada Tariffs (ft. BDC's Director of Economic Research)
Q: What is the basic purpose of tariffs from a government perspective?
Tariffs are a normal macroeconomic tool governments use to slow imports, protect domestic producers, and adjust trade balances, with the understanding that the impact is not just on the buyer at the border but can ripple through the entire supply chain.
Inside the Warehouse: Mastering Inventory Control & Operations (ft. Kevin Lawton)
Q: What are the most important things teams should keep in mind for inventory control and operations management?
Treat inventory control as the backbone of the operation, tie accountability across departments, and focus on root-cause analysis to prevent discrepancies rather than just firefighting.
Inventory Isn’t Just Math—It’s Strategy (ft. Effective Inventory Management, Inc.)
Q: What are the core services your firm offers and how do they improve a client's inventory outcomes?
The firm tackles vendor selection, stocking decisions, demand forecasting, replenishment timing, and comprehensive inventory analyses to ensure every purchase is profitable or leads to profitable sales, all supported by software, training, and best practices.
