Episode 01: Tariffs, the Augusta Rule, and Tax Predictions

In the very first episode of The Biz Beat by SVA, hosts Lee Schwartz and Eric Trost dig into the major shifts in tariffs and how they’re impacting U.S. businesses. Eric explains what’s behind the recent changes, how business owners should respond, and what “tariff engineering” really means. They also break down the Augusta Rule — a quirky but useful tax strategy tied to short-term home rentals. The episode wraps up with a listener question about the timing of new tax legislation and Eric’s prediction on when we’ll see a bill passed.
