Business Travel During The Pandemic Aug 13, 2021

Show notes

On today’s show we’re talking about how business travel is different during the pandemic.

There is a lot that can be accomplished using a video conference. To be sure, we hold zoom and team meetings daily. Sometimes, even hourly. But I was using video conferencing daily and often hourly before the pandemic.

Major Siding Supply Chain Disruption Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

On today’s show we’re talking about a major supply chain disruption that is going to affect the entire construction industry.

James Hardie Building Products is one of the largest manufacturers of cement board exterior siding. Their products are used extensively in residential construction and in multi-family apartment construction.

The company has been struggling to meet demand for product for much of the past year. This past week, the company wrote a letter to all of its customers with some rather shocking news. I’m going to read the majority of the letter to you and then discuss what it means if you have a project that is in need of exterior siding products.

Shipping Prices Hit Crisis Proportions Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

Global shipping prices hit another all time high this week. The proliferation of the delta variant of Covid 19 has slowed the turnaround of containers around the world, further amplifying an already acute shortage.

China has experienced major floods along their southern coast which further delayed the shipment of goods.

Global shipping is now fully disrupted. Shipping rates this week hit $20,804 for a single container transiting the Panama Canal to the US East Coast. At this time last year, that same container would have cost under $2,000.

The Seller Is A Liar Aug 09, 2021

Show notes

On today’s show we’re talking about how sellers mislead buyers with amazing regularity. It’s understandable. They want to sell. Once the decision to sell has been made, the seller often feels a tremendous psychological pressure to eliminate the uncertainty of the sale.

Sellers want to bring certainty to the situation. Will it sell? When will it sell? How much will it sell for? All of these questions remain open until the transaction completes. The seller will often resort to manipulating the buyer in order to bring closure to the sale.
