The business landscape isn’t just shifting—it’s fracturing.
Tariffs are soaring, supply chains are unraveling, and mid-sized companies find themselves caught in a storm they never anticipated. In this eye-opening episode of the AI on Podcast, I sit down with David, an AI representation of the CEO of a Tier 1 automotive supplier deeply embedded in the heart of today's tariff turbulence. David doesn't just see the challenges; he's living them.
💬 Carry on the discussion with the AI model of David.
In this conversation, we dive into:
✅ Why today's tariffs are a permanent new normal—not a temporary blip
✅ The bold, unconventional tactics businesses must adopt now
✅ Immediate financial moves CEOs and CFOs must make to weather this storm
✅ The blunt message David delivered to his own board—no false hope here
Forget theory. David shares real-world strategies that CEOs, CFOs, and COOs urgently need. If you're leading a business today, you can't afford to miss this.
