So the International Monetary Fund just announced California is the fourth largest economy in the world.
$4.1 trillion GDP, gross domestic product, larger than any other nation outside the United States, China, and Germany. It's a point of pride, and it's a point of privilege to represent a state not only with the largest economy in the United States of America, but a state that represents the tentpole of the U.S.
economy in terms of job creation and innovation and entrepreneurialism. We're also the number one manufacturing state in the United States of America and enjoy more two-way trade and direct foreign investment than any other state.
And so a consequence of these Trump tariffs, the consequence of all the uncertainty that we're now seeing all around the world because of these unilateral tariffs that have been imposed by the Trump administration have an outsized role on the state of California. We're already seeing it significantly at the ports of Long Beach and the ports of LA.
40%, 4-0% of the goods movement in the United States of America goes through those ports of entry. Of course, all of us, are feeling the anxiety, the uncertainty that's marked this moment.
You have your 401k, you're seeing your life savings depleted. And we're also seeing depletion of trust, the coin of the realm, trust around the world.
Decades and decades, 80 years of developing relationships with allies around the globe. We're seeing that trust fray in real time.
When I started this podcast, I said I wanted to listen directly to you. And I also want to talk a little bit to you about my own experience.
I started as a small business person. I started right out of college with one part-time employee, Pat Kelly.
And I built a business, a few dozen small businesses. At peak, we had over 700 employees.
I say that not to impress you, but to impress upon you my passion for entrepreneurialism and an emotional attachment I have to taking those risks in those early days and the risks and uncertainty that come today as those businesses mature. And I imagine there are many people listening that feel the same way.
Folks that have put everything on the line, that took that risk, that got that loan, that may even leverage their own home to make a go at it, that may have convinced a family member to come on board, had a great idea and just made it happen and it broke through. Or those of you may be struggling with an idea that you thought would be great and you felt you were coming out the other side, but all of a sudden, all this new uncertainty has painted a picture where you've lost a little step, you've lost a little confidence.
And so I'd love to hear directly from you. I'd love to hear how it's impacting you.
I'd love to be able to paint a picture where we could put a human face on this conversation. What does it mean? What does it mean to you as a parent? What does it mean to you as a small business person, as a consumer? Are we going to see prices start to skyrocket? Have you already seen specific prices increase? If you want to reach out directly, which would be great, you can email
