From Soldier to Healer of Warriors Set Free

In this episode of the Tango Tango podcast, host Lloyd Knight sits down with Steve Prince, a U.S. Army veteran and founder of Warrior Set Free. Steve takes us through his deeply personal journey from his struggles with discipline in his early years to his transformative experiences in the military and the profound lessons he’s learned along the way. Steve reflects on his path to joining the Army, driven by a need for discipline, college funding, and a desire to belong to something meaningful. He shares the pain of growing up without a father, whose suicide when Steve was five left a lasting impact. This loss shaped his life and drove him to the military, where he would face trials and triumphs alike.   This episode is hosted by Lloyd Knight, and produced by Trisha Cordes, Joshua Miranda, and Amanda Luton.   Additional Links & Resources: Watch NOW on YouTube Connect with Steve Prince Connect with Lloyd Knight Learn more about our hosts   Want more Supply Chain Now?

How New Tariffs Might Disrupt the Electronic Component Supply Chain

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, hosts Scott Luton and Marty Parker welcome Justin Sears, Head of Product Marketing for SaaS at Altium, to explore how manufacturers can stay resilient amid rising tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and evolving global risks. Justin shares how his career journey—from early SaaS solutions to leading cloud-based collaboration tools for electronics design—has shaped his approach to visibility, agility, and innovation. Together, they unpack the complex impact of new tariffs on electronic components, why just-in-time is being replaced by just-in-case, and how companies are shifting procurement strategies to adapt. Justin also talks about the role of cloud platforms like Altium 365 in improving real-time collaboration across design, procurement, and manufacturing—bridging gaps, reducing errors, and increasing speed to market.   This episode is hosted by Scott Luton and Marty Parker, and produced by Amanda Luton, Trisha Cordes, and Joshua Miranda.   Additional Links & Resources Check out all the great resources and information mentioned during the show: Watch NOW on YouTube Connect with Justin Sears Read more on the Altium 365 Supply Chain Management webpage Check out the Altium BOM Portal Check out Altium Stories on YouTube Learn more about our hosts   Want more Supply…
