About this listen

 In this episode of Reshoring America, Ray Drew sits down with Forbes business reporter Brandon Kochkodin to cut through the noise and dig into how tariffs, taxes, regulations, and labor shortages are really affecting small businesses on the ground. Brandon shares what he's hearing directly from entrepreneurs across the country—like Kristin, the owner of a lingerie brand devastated by tariffs—and raises urgent questions about whether U.S. policy is unintentionally crushing small firms in the name of reshoring. 🎯 Topics we cover: -The true impact of tariffs on small manufacturers -How businesses are navigating the 90-day tariff pause -Whether optimism is rising—or just Wall Street spin -The skilled labor shortage: real or exaggerated? -What policymakers should be focused on (but aren't) -If you're a small business owner, lender, policymaker, or just someone who cares about the future of American manufacturing—this one's for you. 🔔 Subscribe for more honest conversations on rebuilding U.S. industry, one story at a time.
