This week, in Episode 243, Liz Picarazzi tells Sarah Segal that she’s taking another pass at finding a domestic fabricator. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, Liz says, but she’s hoping that now that her business is more established, she just might find an American factory that wants to partner with a growing business and would be eager to help her re-shore her manufacturing. She’s also decided she’s going to keep speaking out about the tariffs despite the hate mail she’s been getting: “I'm not going to be ashamed of manufacturing in Asia,” she tells us. “I had my reasons, and they were very good reasons.” Plus: Sarah talks about how she’s been using AI, including to create her own GPTs, which help her promote her clients. She’s also found a software platform she loves that makes it easier to find and file requests for proposals.
