43:37

In this episode of the Develop This Podcast, Dennis Fraise interviews Ryan Monarch Assistant Professor, Economics Department Syracuse University , an expert in international trade and economics, to discuss the complexities of tariffs and their implications on the economy. The conversation covers the definition of tariffs, their historical context, their role in modern trade, and the economic and consumer impacts. Ryan explains how tariffs can affect supply chains, consumer choices, and the overall market dynamics while also addressing the political motivations behind tariff implementation. The discussion highlights the challenges and uncertainties businesses face in a fluctuating tariff environment and the long-term effects of such policies on the economy. Takeaways A tariff is an increase in the price of imported goods. Tariffs have been a source of government revenue since the founding of the US. President McKinley was known for his pro-tariff stance. Tariffs are used to protect domestic industries from foreign competition. The scale of tariffs under President Trump is unprecedented in modern history. Higher tariffs can lead to increased prices for consumers. Tariffs can disrupt established supply chains and consumer choices. The burden of tariffs often falls on US importers, not foreign producers. Economists generally believe that tariffs create more losers than winners. The long-term effects of tariffs on the economy can take years to understand fully. Learn. Explore. Activate in Place.

In this episode of Develop This, Dennis Fraise speaks with Doug Van Dyke , CEO of Leadership Simplified , about the intricacies of economic development organizations (EDCs). They discuss the role of EDCs, the pros and cons of regionalization, the challenges of collaboration, and the relationship between EDCs and chambers of commerce. Doug shares insights on strategic planning, executive coaching, and the importance of having a neutral party in discussions about regionalism. The conversation highlights the need for collaboration and the potential benefits of working together to enhance economic development efforts. Takeaways EDCs often require strategic planning, executive coaching, and team development. Regionalization can enhance collaboration but may also lead to competition among EDCs. Silos and ego can hinder effective regional collaboration. A neutral party can facilitate discussions and help align goals. Mission creep can occur when EDCs and chambers of commerce have differing focuses. Successful regional collaboration can lead to greater economic opportunities.

20:56

In this episode of Develop This, Dennis Fraise and Mark Perna discuss the importance of building one's dreams at any stage of life. They explore the distinction between interest and passion, emphasizing that while interest can be easily found, passion is cultivated over time through resilience and commitment. The conversation also highlights the significance of engagement and self-motivation in creating a competitive advantage in both personal and professional realms. Mark shares his philosophy of embracing discomfort and daring to dream, encouraging listeners to take actionable steps toward their goals. Competitive Advantage Track Takeaways You're either building your dream or someone else's. Life really begins when you carve out time for yourself. Interest is something you can trip over; passion is built over time. Show up five minutes early, stay five minutes late, and care. Be so good they can't ignore you. Dare to dream and embrace discomfort. You have all the time that there is; it's how you use it that matters. To stand out, do what others won't do. Say yes, and then figure out how.
