On this episode, Ashley McPherson sits down with David M. Walker — former U.S. Comptroller General and author of America in 2040: Still a Superpower. Together, they explore how global instability, supply chain risk, and corporate decision-making are reshaping the future of American business — with direct implications for the fashion industry.
Dave shares insight on how brands can adapt their sourcing, protect against geopolitical disruptions, and compete through creativity and innovation while navigating global cost pressures. He also unpacks the difference between true leadership and “laggardship,” and why foresight, ethics, and stewardship are critical for brands that want to remain competitive.
This episode is a clear-eyed look at what it takes to build resilience, scale with discipline, and create business longevity in a rapidly shifting economy.
