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.

This episode is hosted by Scott Luton and Koray Kose, and produced by Amanda Luton and Trisha Cordes.
