What's affecting me, my clients, my colleagues and other global small business owners:

• A financial crisis is looming for smaller suppliers.
• Designing resilience into global supply chains.
• Quote of the week: "Amateurs talk strategy.  Professionals talk logistics." – General Omar Bradley
• COVID-19 made it clear: The supply chain desperately needs an upgrade.
• Mercado’s platform focuses on the “first mile” — the first 120 days — of the global supply chain, connecting buyers and sellers to help businesses better plan, move and ship products.  Now they can serve all importers, not just the 1%. 
• Supply chains on the move as global pressures mount.
