🎙️ Welcome to Episode 25 of the Nomads Nation Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with Laura, founder of Move Supply Chain, to uncover why some of the world's most popular backpacks are constantly out of stock. We dive deep into the realities of supply chain management, from sourcing specialized materials and managing factory relationships to navigating logistics, cash flow, and production delays.

We also discuss how small brands can compete with industry giants, why strong relationships with manufacturers matter more than most people realize, the importance of understanding your product's construction, and practical strategies founders can use to build a more resilient supply chain. Whether you're a backpack enthusiast, product founder, or simply curious about what happens behind the scenes before a bag reaches your doorstep, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
