In this episode, we’re getting riled up about a topic that’s stirring up economic chaos (again): tariffs. Specifically, Donald Trump’s latest tariff threats and the damage they could do to your wallet, your business, and even your Nana’s 401(k).

Meg breaks down:

• 💸 What tariffs really are (hint: a tax you end up paying)
  
  

• 🔥 Why Trump’s “Tariff Oprah” strategy could ignite inflation and global tension
  
  

• 📉 The ripple effects on small businesses, consumer prices, and retirement funds
  
  

• 🧮 The brutal math of squeezed margins and rising costs for entrepreneurs
  
  

• 🌍 How global trade drama affects your everyday life
  
  

What You’ll Learn:

• The not-so-hidden costs of tariffs for working families and scrappy business owners
  
  

• How history (Smoot-Hawley, anyone?) shows us exactly where this road leads
  
  

• Why tariffs aren’t just an economic issue—they’re a small business survival issue
  
  

• Smart, practical ways you can fight back and protect your business

If you’re building something beautiful in a broken system, this episode is your rally cry. Tariffs may be painted as economic strategy, but in practice? They're a tax on your hustle. Get informed, get loud, and don’t let bad policy kill your power.
