A little more about your work and the best website for more information.

Kevin, thank you.

Delighted to be with you.

Um, yeah, I am based here in Dublin, Ireland, um, and, uh, my, my website is www.barrperformancecoaching.ie.

Uh, back during, uh, the COVID pandemic, I actually wrote a book, uh, on effective strategic sourcing, which has been published in most parts of the English-speaking world.

Um, but as part of that, I, I interviewed a, uh, a cohort of strategic sourcing leaders who, who collectively in their businesses, a-across a variety of industries, uh, spend about eighty billion dollars a year.

And, and specifically what I was asking them about was, well, what are the challenges facing global supply chains and strategic sourcing in general, um, and, and what are they going to do, uh, i-in, in terms of a crisis management? And, and you mentioned in your introduction that this whole world of geopolitical unrest and, and what can we do to, um, uh, what's the word? Um, to protect ourselves, but actually look for opportunity to see, you know, is there anything that we can do that, um, will help us thrive into, into the long term.

Um, t-tell us what you're seeing out there.
