    President Trump’s back and forth on tariffs is causing instability and uncertainty across industries, and some of the hardest hit have been small businesses. On this episode, the entrepreneur Yair Reiner explains what it takes to make his product, the Frywall, and how the trade war with China is increasing his production costs and making it harder to work with his partners overseas.
