Happy Friday Builders! Let’s dive in… Some are calling it outright chaos. Others call it capitalism with the mask off. Either way, it’s the world we have to build in — and through. The Trump economy is running on proximity — whoever’s in the room when the deal gets made often shapes the outcome. It’s not the old Washington playbook of lobbyists and white papers. It’s personality-driven power — the art of influence practiced in real time, often in public view. For some, it’s chaos. For others, it’s a once-in-a-generation opening to rethink how business and government move together. But the builders who last will be the ones who can turn policy shifts into purpose — and pressure into progress. ⸻ What’s Really Happening ▪️Policy is Personal. Decision-making is direct and unpredictable. The upside? Speed. The risk? Volatility. Founders must learn to navigate both. ▪️Capital Is Nationalist. Investment is following the “Build in America” drumbeat. If your supply chain, data, or IP live offshore, re-evaluate now. ▪️ Innovation Is Diplomatic. The next decade will reward builders who can turn national priorities — AI, clean energy, critical infrastructure — into scalable ventures that deliver measurable outcomes. ⸻ 🤳🏾The Bigger Picture This isn’t a normal cycle. It’s a re-engineering of how influence, investment, and innovation intersect. We’ve entered an era where the handshake matters as much as the spreadsheet — but durability still depends on what you build when the cameras turn off. Your play? Stay disciplined. Align your mission with measurable value. Lead with integrity in markets that run on momentum. Because every administration eventually ends — but your reputation and your runway will outlast the politics. ⸻ ☁️Quote of the Day “It’s all inflationary … some of these things have long cycles.
