The Buzz: Tackling Tariffs and Trade Dynamics

Join us for this week’s episode of The Buzz, as we dive deep into the implications of a recent $6 billion federal loan aimed at supporting Rivian’s expansion in Georgia, while also examining the broader impact of tariffs and political dynamics on the automotive industry.

In this episode, host Scott Luton welcomes special guest host Koray Kose to the show to discuss:

  • Rivian’s significant hurdles and the future of the EV market
  • The rise of agentic AI, which has the potential to transform supply chain operations by autonomously making decisions and executing actions based on real-time data
  • The critical need for organizations to prioritize cybersecurity in light of increasing ransomware attacks
  • And much more!

Join us as we unpack these pressing issues and explore actionable insights for navigating the complexities of today’s supply chain environment.

Solving Warehouse Execution Gaps in the SMB Market

Warehouse operations often highlight the gap between business strategy and execution, particularly as small and mid-sized companies grow. Challenges like fulfillment pressure, inventory inaccuracies, and manual workarounds can turn warehouses into bottlenecks that hinder organizational efficiency. When teams lose confidence in their data, scaling becomes more difficult, leaving leadership reactive instead of proactive.

Inside the Space Economy: Supply Chain, Innovation & Opportunities for All

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and Kevin L. Jackson welcome Dr. David Beck of the U.S. Space Force and Richard Donaldson, entrepreneur and circularity advocate, to explore the explosive intersection of space and supply chain. From launching satellites to building sustainable infrastructure beyond Earth’s atmosphere, the conversation dives deep into what it takes to support the growing space economy—projected to reach over $1.8 trillion by 2035. Dr. Beck, a veteran technologist and branch chief at the Space Force, breaks down space logistics as a system of innovation, sustainability, and national security. The panel discusses the rise of CubeSats, the critical need for space debris cleanup, how SpaceX’s rideshare model is revolutionizing orbital logistics, and why we’re no longer preparing for the future—we’re living it.   This episode is hosted by Scott Luton and Kevin L. Jackson, and produced by Trisha Cordes, Joshua Miranda, and Amanda Luton.   Additional Links & Resources Check out all the great resources and information mentioned during the show: Watch NOW on YouTube Connect with Dr. David Beck Connect with Richard Donaldson Learn more about our hosts   Want more Supply Chain Now?
