    Agree with the core message 100%. I’ve been in IB (international business) my entire career. My beef is the title of video. I know UA-cam likes controversial thumbnails/titles (although they don’t like such content?!?), but I cringe at the word “ditched”. The connotation is bad. Worse, it’s bad on the company doing the ditching as it implies they are the winner of a zero sum game. Your content was accurate and respectful, but the title is not. Companies, here and overseas, are full of hard working people just trying make ends meet. When we (management/ownership) make decisions that make financial sense, we are not ditching the other company. Ditching implies the other company was cheating or scamming and deserves to lose out. My experience has been they are not doing so. China’s major advantage, labor, is diminishing. Sourcing from home (USA) is definitely preferred if it’s available. Nonetheless, I’ve always tried be respectful of how I treat supplier adjustments because real people are affected on both sides of the transaction.

    Any book on supply change management treats the choice between buy locally (short lead times, high cost) and importing from cheap countries. If you need flexibility local is better. Mexico is a popular choice as well due to distance. Texas is a choice for companies that can't move to Mexico.

    It should be about MONEY & then patriotism + politics. You enjoy the US lifestyle & way of life. If you want that to be shared with your kids then that matters.

      exactly he has no strategy for how to remain competitive in a marketplace like amazon next to many other sellers sourcing for much cheaper.
      The example of kitchen aprons also raises a red flag. These are basic, commoditized items, which means customers are likely more price-sensitive. Suggesting a local sourcing strategy without accounting for this seems disconnected from how these markets work. I’d expect such advice to focus on niche, high-margin items, not everyday essentials.
      So respectfully, this core message is far more flawed than you initially suggested.
      So just switch to US factories, end of video just tells you to that he pays less upfront but 3x more.

      No, he sells excellent information that will help you make money. I used his materials to teach sections of a university class. Much better than the textbook.

      @@BryanMull I rewatched this video 3 times and most of it pretty bad advice.
      Explain at 6:00 where did he get the 1400 from? random assumption of 10.00 per unit with no explanation.
      End of video he says it would cost 3x as much, so then shouldn't it be 3x700 = 2100?
      Coming back to the Amazon comment where he mentions he does FBA at the start, he has no strategy for how to remain competitive in a marketplace like amazon next to many other sellers sourcing for much cheaper. The example of kitchen aprons also raises a red flag. These are basic, commoditized items, which means customers are likely more price-sensitive. Suggesting a local sourcing strategy without accounting for this seems disconnected from how these markets work. I’d expect such advice to focus on niche, high-margin items, not everyday essentials.
      If you follow this guy, you'd know he said he flies to the canton fair, and even had dinner with his supplier. He talks about using sourcing agents and QC companies to ensure he doesn't get screwed. He claims todo this for 17 years and suddenly a supplier he's been dealing with for 5 year suddenly decides to put his stream of income at risk? I thought he's doing 7 figures. I never bothered to read the comments because he normally gives decent suggestions without going too deep into it, maybe hold some back for the mentorship courses, I get it, I'm not against that. that's the hustle its fine. But THIS particular video is 100% misinformation. and if you goto the site he mentioned called she makes products. the site only advertises to be a mentorship not a supplier. so what is going on?
      again, I rewatched this video at least 3 times because there was so much to unpack that doesn't add up.
