Hola -

This episodes digs into the recent tariff announcement, as well s the overall tariff impact on companies. Many companies are announcing publicly their intent to pass on the tariff costs to the consumer (which we knew b/c we did our homework on this months ago!). And, we'll end the episde with a meaningful quote from Jerome Powell - a qutoe we should all absorb and live by.

Thanks,

Amy
