Have you ever been stuck in a traffic jam? A big one, like on a major highway that runs through a large city? You know, the good ones where you're parked on the highway next to the speed limit sign that mocks you with a limit of 70 miles per hour. If you make progress at all, it's only inches, or if you're really lucky, feet at a time. Then, all of a sudden, you get past whatever the cause was—the major off-ramp, the accident, or the toll booth/bridge—and the traffic parts like Moses and the Red Sea. You're free, quickly forgetting the stress and frustration of the mess behind you. You have just experienced a bottleneck.

In today’s episode, I explore the question of who is more likely to succeed: the hard-driving individual who doesn’t mind stepping on others, or the nice guy who helps those around them? I dive into research by Professor Adam Grant, who studied this very topic and found that, while nice guys do sometimes finish last, the aggressive, self-serving types don’t come out on top either. Grant’s study identifies three types of people: Takers, who are aggressive and self-focused; Matchers, who help others but keep score with an “I scratch your back, you scratch mine” mentality; and Givers, those who help without expecting anything in return. Tune in to learn which type might be the most successful in the long run and how these insights can be applied to business and life.

In this follow-up to my tariff episode, I break down the latest developments—including the 90-day pause on most tariffs (except China’s)—and what they mean for your business. I share how market reactions, supply chain shifts, and rising costs might affect you, and give practical, experience-based strategies to help you stay steady through uncertainty. From managing debt and diversifying suppliers to reading political trends without getting political, this episode is all about planning so you never have to panic.
