The Founders’ Journey: Special 3-Part Series, Tariff Talks In April 2025, sweeping new tariffs triggered market turmoil, shook CEO confidence, and sparked urgent questions across the business landscape. At Rallyday, we responded the way we did during COVID - by calling trusted voices on the front lines. And this time, we hit record. In just 48 hours, we captured three candid conversations exploring this moment from every angle: Wall Street (macro + markets) Main Street (operations + strategy) Your Street (mindset + leadership)All three episodes are available now — no politics, no punditry. Just clarity, curiosity, and practical insight to help you lead through what’s next. Part 2: Main Street with Tim Van Mieghem, Co-Founder & Partner of The ProAction Group In Part 2, we shift from Wall Street to Main Street, where the ripple effects of tariffs are being felt in real time by business owners, operators, and the teams that keep America running. Ryan is joined by Tim Van Mieghem, Co-founder & Partner of The ProAction Group and a nationally recognized supply chain expert for private equity-backed companies, to discuss how leaders are adapting to sudden cost increases, sourcing disruptions, and shifting customer demand. Tim shares a deeply grounded framework for seeing clarity, acting decisively, and even using this crisis to create lasting culture change. He reminds us why operational excellence is still the ultimate lever — and how relationships, not spreadsheets, will determine who wins in this new era. Whether you’re a CEO, an operator, or an investor, you’ll walk away with actionable insights for steering your organization through uncertainty.
