Wars, tariffs, climate shocks, and shifting alliances are redrawing the map of global commerce and supply chains. We are living in the era of Globalization 2.0, where geopolitics isn’t just influencing the economy—it is the economy.

We asked Andrew to keynote our fall conference. Our group was looking for a speaker who could provide both economic insight and thoughts on the upcoming presidential election. After cancelling live events in 2020, we asked Andrew to present the event virtually. It was just what we were looking for - an engaging, interesting, and informative presentation to engage our virtual audience. Andrew keeps the presentation moving, uses effective visuals, and provides thoughtful analysis throughout. He's an outstanding presenter in a virtual environment, and I know he would be more amazing in person. He used the technology to its full-effect with audience engagement, an event-specific background, and effective visuals. As a meeting planner, he was easy to work with and a consummate professional. I highly recommend Andrew for your next event! Darcy Burnett, Sr. Education Coordinator, Iowa Bankers Association

Mr. Busch was one of the more engaging and well-prepared keynote speakers I've witnessed. He brought not only a wealth of interesting and valuable experience in both the private and government spheres to his presentation, but a passion for bringing that experience to life for us in real and useful ways. I was also impressed with how he handled the Q&A. He is clearly an open-minded person who is willing to listen, and his answers were thoughtful, respectful, and honest. He was graciously willing to personally meet and interact with the conference participants as well, which provided us with additional valuable perspective. I highly recommend Andrew Busch if you want unique, principled, thought-provoking insights into the chaos that exists at the nexus of business, politics, and world events.

Mr. Busch was an outstanding speaker as our audience was thoroughly engaged and captivated by his fast paced, insightful and humorous presentation. As a result of his talk, our attendees had three major takeaways. First, they were given a framework to understand the US economy. Second, they were given a detailed analysis of the 2016 US presidential election. Third, they received an outlook for the future of the industry and what opportunities lay ahead. Our attendees asked numerous questions, and afterwards, he stayed for lunch and was kept busy with participants that wanted to know more. I believe any group would be well served with Andrew as your speaker.

On August 31st, 2016, we had Andrew Busch present at the Agstar Financial Services Grain Vision Conference. It's my pleasure to provide this letter of recommendation for him. In a challenging political environment, Mr. Busch provided an objective, nonpartisan analysis of 2016 Presidential race and it's implications for the US economy. Due to his talk, our clients had three key outcomes. First, they were given a framework to understand the US economy and how it impacted their product. Second, they were given a detailed analysis of the 2016 US presidential election and what policies will help and hurt their sector. Third, they received an outlook for future growth of agriculture and what agtech opportunities lay ahead. As a result of his talk, our clients are better prepared for dealing with the challenges and utilizing potential solutions in the industry.
