We have just published the 12th episode and our 1st episode of Export Stories Podcast of 2020! We had such an enjoyable discussion with Ed King, co-owner and Vice President of Grapette International, Inc., and we believe you will enjoy listening.

Some of you may remember Grapette - including the cool animal syrup bottles, the historic jingles and ads. What you may not realize is that Grapette became a very successful U.S. export years ago and continues to sell into many foreign markets today.

I had such a good time chatting with Mary,who retired in 2015 as a Senior Vice President and Advisory Leader in the Phoenix office of the global insurance broker Marsh & McLennan. What Mary knows about international insurance, insurance brokerage, and risk management is enormous.

Just to mention a few, find out what a ‘terrorism captive’ is; learn about theft exposure in the supply chain; and hear about the world’s largest telescope project in Chile.
