Tariffs, Transparency, and the Art of Strategic Relationships

In this episode of the Jump Podcast, Michelle Loret de Mola and Dev Patnaik unpack the rollercoaster world of tariffs—and why your strategy might need more than a spreadsheet to survive it. As new policies throw global markets into chaos, the duo explores how the smartest leaders are tuning out the drama and zeroing in on what really matters: building rock-solid relationships. Whether it's navigating supplier negotiations that feel like hostage situations or using tariffs as a weirdly effective way to help your mom finally pick a computer, Dev and Michelle show how future-focused leadership is all about seeing the signals, not just the noise.
