Dan Compliance Episode 01

In this podcast episode, Dan starts working for his uncle, who manufactures mobile phones for special customers. The mining company has ordered several hundred units, so Dan's uncle needs help to buy and assemble the specialized equipment needed for the manufacturing process. Dan's job is undefined, but he has to help his uncle with everything else, including paperwork, maintenance, and keeping the business alive. After emptying and cleaning up the garage, Dan has to purchase equipment like soldering iron, screwdrivers, adhesive glue, heat gun, cleaning solutions, brushes, ESD protection equipment, multimeters, oscilloscopes, and signal generators to assemble the mobile phones. To finance the purchase of the equipment, Dan had to sell his van. This experience leads Dan into trade compliance, which is about ensuring that businesses comply with import and export regulations when buying and selling goods internationally.
