    Tariffs, Taxes, and Trade (Feat. Mayer Brown Senior Advisor, Warren Payne)

    In this episode, Rick is joined by International trade expert, and former member of the US House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means, Warren Payne. They unpack the bipartisan shift in U.S. trade policy—particularly around China—and what it means for the global economy. They explore the misconceptions that shaped early U.S.–China trade relations, the impact of tariffs under both Trump and Biden, and how these policies ripple through countries like Mexico, Canada, and the EU. Warren explains how trade, tax policy, and national debt are more connected than ever, and why the U.S. may be running out of leverage. Plus, a look at how modern politics—and even the way members of Congress interact—might be holding back real progress.

    Redefining The "Grind" (Feat Enderly Coffee Owner, Tony Santoro)

    What if the biggest thing holding you back… is you? On this episode, Rick Godfrey II sits down with Tony Santoro, Enderly Coffee Co owner. He started his business as a hobby years ago while working full time as a school teacher. When faced with the chance to upgrade some of his equipment and take his company to the next level, he froze. All he had to do was share a video and the GoFundMe page to his friends, family, and followers, but he couldn't hit "post." Tony's story is one we can all relate to: standing in our own way at a critical moment. What happens when we push even when we are scared? Is success waiting on the other side of bravery?  Follow SmartPro Financial:  💼 Rick Godfrey II's LinkedIn ⮕ linkedin.com/in/rick-godfrey-ii/  📷 Instagram ⮕ instagram.com/smartprofinancial  👥 Facebook ⮕ facebook.com/smartprofinancial  🏆 Find a SmartVestor Pro ⮕ smartprofinancial.com/find-a-pro  Follow Tony Santoro:  👥 Facebook ⮕ facebook.com/enderlycoffeeco 📷 Instagram ⮕ instagram.com/enderlycoffeeco 🌐 Website ⮕ https://www.enderlycoffee.com Discussions in this show are for entertainment and educational purposes only and should not be construed as specific recommendations or investment advice.
