In this episode of The Buzz, we break down rising cargo theft, global supply chain disruptions, and the growing gap in AI readiness—plus what it all means for leaders trying to stay ahead—welcome to The Buzz, powered by DOSS! Hosts Scott Luton and Yaseen Ahmid break down major forces shaping today’s supply chains—from geopolitical disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and its ripple effects on fuel, fertilizer, and costs, to a surprising gap in AI readiness where most employees can’t apply what they’ve learned. Joined by Danny Ramon, the conversation dives into the rapid rise of cargo theft, how increasingly sophisticated criminal networks are exploiting digital systems and documentation, and why high-demand goods are more vulnerable than ever. This episode delivers clear, real-world insight into where supply chains are most exposed right now—and what leaders must do to stay ahead. Cargo theft is rising fast—with continued double-digit growth and increasing sophistication Criminal networks are exploiting digital gaps, paperwork fraud, and fragmented systems High-demand, easily resold goods (electronics, food, clothing) are top theft targets Global disruptions (fuel, fertilizer, shipping routes) are driving widespread cost increases AI training is falling short—most employees can’t apply it to real workflows Visibility—not just technology—is the…

The global supply chain is shifting fast—from rising compliance demands to major reshoring investments—welcome to The Buzz, powered by project44! In this episode, hosts Scott Luton and Allison Giddens break down the forces reshaping the electronics supply chain, from Apple’s massive U.S. manufacturing expansion to the growing impact of geopolitical tensions on critical materials like helium. Joined by Justin Sears of Altium, the conversation dives into how data, design, and visibility are becoming essential to navigating complexity and staying competitive. Join us and learn: Why strategic data intelligence is now critical for compliance and decision-making How fragmented data and manual processes are slowing down modern supply chains The ripple effects of helium shortages on chips and electronics production What Apple’s $600B U.S. manufacturing push signals for reshoring trends How modern tech stacks and cloud adoption are helping companies leapfrog competitors Why security, visibility, and control are essential in electronics design and sourcing From regulatory complexity to global disruptions and bold reshoring moves, the electronics supply chain is entering a new era—one defined by data, agility, and smarter decision-making.   This episode is hosted by Scott Luton and Allison Giddens, and produced by Trisha Cordes, Joshua Miranda, and Amanda Luton.  …
