tndc welcomed former CEO of the New York Stock Exchange, Duncan Niederauer, for an analysis of the current state of the US economy and the so-called "Trade Wars" we are currently experiencing. Much of the volatility experienced in the last 18 months we find attributable to the communication methods used by our nation's leadership, but we argue there is some merit to the "America First" policy being implemented. We also briefly touch on CEO Activism in today's polarized political climate, as well as anti-trust issues as large acquisitions are proposed in several industries.

Mike Coombs, co-owner of Outdoor Emporium and Sportco stores located in Seattle, WA, joined tndc to discuss the very sensitive and controversial issue of gun control. Since the school shooting in Parkland, FL, millennials have taken the helm of this conversation leading to walk-outs and marches across the United States. We do a quick history review of the context of the Second Amendment to frame the debate, talk through the importance of gun safety and responsible ownership, and implications on industry and business owners. As always, we attempt to propose solutions rather than talk in circles around the issue.
