You have probably noticed that I keep coming back to the subject of agriculture on this podcast – for very good reasons – it is critical to the U.S. export economy. And then it occurred to me – here, practically in my own backyard, in Shelby County, TN, we have the most amazing not-for-profit organization – Agricenter International.
So, it is our good fortune that the President and CEO, John Butler, agreed to be my guest and enlighten us all about the Agricenter. John’s background is both unique and fascinating. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

What a great conversation we have lined up for you today! Our guest, Andrew White, is the President of Comptus, a New Hampshire manufacturer and seller of commercial environmental sensors and controls. You will learn what they do and how they serve many important markets.
Andrew earned his Bachelor of Arts in Government from Harvard University, and an MBA from Plymouth State University.
When asked to be a guest on our podcast, he was happy to have a chance to share his success stories with other exporters or those new to exporting. That, of course, is what Export Stories is all about.
Comptus is a fascinating business, and I hope you enjoy this episode. After you’ve listened, we would love to hear your thoughts and comments, which you can post at https://www.exportstoriespodcast.com/ or on our Facebook or LinkedIn pages.

I like to think of today’s episode as a sixth generation of this podcast. That’s because I was introduced to today’s guest, Brian Genjian, by a guest from our 1st year’s podcast, C.J. Pinajian. (BTW, you can go back and listen to that episode through our website)
Brian has a long, diverse career in international trade and logistics, and he shares many of these stories. While we talk a little international logistics history, we cover many of the issues affecting today’s supply chain.

Our guest, Peter Clement, shares some very valuable financial information for exporters. Peter is the Senior Vice President for International Financing at Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc., with Headquarters in New York, New York. Peter specializes in providing expertise in trade finance for international corporations.
Here’s a rhetorical question– what exporter does not need some kind of financial assistance to grow their export program, such as international factoring? Peter walks us through non-bank financing 101 and tell us about the types of options and services they offer.
We had a wonderful discussion. After you’ve listened, we would love for you to share your thoughts and comments, which you can post on the episode page at exportstoriespodcast.com or on our Facebook or LinkedIn pages.
I want to thank Rosenthal & Rosenthal for their sponsorship of today’s podcast.

Welcome back to Export Stories Podcast 2024!
There is a reason why Argentek was named Exporter of the Year in Delaware for 2023 by the U.S. Small Business Administration. And to explore what makes this exporter so special, we have the good fortune to be joined by Andres Molanes, Andy to his peers, the founder and CEO of Argentek.
Their claim is ‘distributing the world’s most innovative tech’, but their story should resound with every exporter.

In today’s podcast, we visit with a Virginia company, and we get rather technical with you. That’s because our guest, Kevin Speers, is CEO and Co-Founder of SPLICE, a technology company that has created a data sharing and translation system that automates processes. Mouthful? yes. Understandable? Of course, because Kevin talks to us about his company, and explains the services they offer the export/import community.

With this episode, I’m going to introduce you to a company that offers products with such intriguing flavors as Rose Hip, Chrysanthemum Honey, Ginger, and Cranberry . The company is Koval Distillery, and I had a marvelous conversation with our distinguished guest, Dr. Sonat Birnecker Hart, co-founder and President.
Prior to opening KOVAL Distillery, one of the largest fully independent and woman-owned craft distilleries in the US, she spent over a decade as a full professor in both the United States and Germany. In 2008, she gave up tenure in hopes of a different quality of life; one that would afford an opportunity for her to work with her husband, give up commuting, and return to the city she loved: Chicago.

Let me tell you a story about today’s podcast. So, you are going along, growing your export business and it’s very exciting. And you are very pleased with yourself. The time comes to meet with your tax advisor. He or she explains what you need to do and what options you have, and then it’s the end of the presentation. Wait a minute? He or she never brings up the possibility of creating an IC-DISC? It happens. But that’s okay, because you are going to listen to today’s guest, Amit Mathur, Co-Founding Partner of Quantitax, educate all of us about this beautiful, potential tax break known as the IC-DISC. And the next time you meet with your tax advisor, you will sound so darn smart!

For this episode, we go to Ohio for a manufacturing story. We explore the global oil and gas industry from an insider who knows the ropes. Our guest is Sandy Winans, Global Trade Compliance Manager for Altronic.
You may not be familiar with Altronic if you are not connected with the industry, but they play an instrumental part (that’s a pun) in how pipelines run safely. We speak with Sandy specifically about how Altronic, over the years, has contributed to improvements in the oil & gas industry that have benefited the environment. It’s quite fascinating.
