Guest: Bayard Winthrop, CEO and founder of American Giant 

Bayard Winthrop, CEO of American Giant, is dedicated to American made and has a transformative partnership with Walmart that could redefine the power of American manufacturing. Winthrop launched his collaboration with Walmart with a $12.98 American-made T-shirt in 2023, expanding to sweatshirts in 2025. The partnership is a compelling story about how premium brands can maintain integrity through mass-market collaboration. Walmart's unprecedented $350 billion, 10-year commitment to American-made products scales up onshoring, supports American jobs, meets customers’ expectations and lowers costs. Join Shelley and Bayard as they discuss global trade tensions, looming tariffs, and provide insights into the broader implications of reshoring for national security, community vitality, and workforce development. He challenges prevailing assumptions about manufacturing costs, believing strategic retail partnerships can democratize access to American-made quality without compromising standards.
