    Navigating Chaos: Sheldon Stone on Strategy, EV Disruption & Manufacturing Resilience

    The Strategy Wake-Up Call for U.S. Manufacturers What happens when electrification slows, tariffs rise, and China surges ahead?

    You get the perfect storm—one that U.S. manufacturers can’t afford to ignore. In this episode of Cashflow Chronicles, I sat down with Sheldon Stone, President of SFNet Detroit and Managing Director at Capstone Partners, to unpack what’s really going on in the U.S. automotive supply chain—and more importantly, how middle-market manufacturers can still come out ahead.

    We went deep on:
    ✅ Why EV investments are being de-prioritized—and what that means for suppliers
    ✅ The brutal impact of tariffs and who’s left holding the bill
    ✅ How Chinese automakers are winning the long game
    ✅ Why most manufacturers don’t plan… they just react
    ✅ And the one piece of advice Sheldon gives every owner: Keep an open mind.

    This isn’t a doom-and-gloom conversation. It’s a strategic reset.

    “When a company makes data-driven decisions—not just gut calls—they gain predictability. And in uncertain times, predictability is everything.”
    — Sheldon Stone
