Your daily LinkedIn post idea, by The Content Lab

Question: How can you tie a current event in the news to your industry?

Below is a rough example of what a post could look like for this prompt. Feel free to edit it to reflect your own experience.

Post Template:

Hook:

When I saw the tariff news, I felt it in my chest.

I knew immediately what it meant for our margins, our supplier relationships, and the workload our team was about to shoulder

Tease:

We had finally reached a rhythm.

Our operations were stable. Our vendors were reliable. Prices were consistent.

Then everything changed overnight.

The cost of goods went up, timelines became unpredictable, and every decision suddenly carried real financial risk.

Value:

This is the part of operations most people never see.

Managing logistics really means that you are managing volatility, pressure, and the expectation that you will figure it out no matter what.

Tariffs, I’ve found, are a test of resilience.

Since the news broke, we have been renegotiating contracts, modeling different pricing scenarios, and preparing our team for another round of tough conversations with customers.

CTA:

If your work has been impacted by the latest round of tariffs, I would love to know how you are navigating it.
