We’ve crossed the midway point of 2025. If you had to pick a song as the soundtrack for the first half of this year, which of the following would you pick:

“It’s the End of the World as We Know It” by R.E.M.
“I’m Still Standing” by Elton John
“Stressed Out” by Twenty One Pilots
“Dog Days Are Over” by Florence + the Machine
“Boulevard of Broken Dreams” by Green Day
“Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” by Kelly Clarkson

If you have another song suggestion, please post it in the comments.

Maybe it’s cheating, but my soundtrack is a melody of all those songs — lots to be concerned or stressed out about (e.g., the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, the on again, off again tariffs) and lots to be optimistic about too, like the sun continuing to rise each day. I was going to put advancements in AI and technology on the optimistic side of the ledger, but AI is creating a lot of stress and concerns for people too, so it’s both a credit and debit.

Predicting the future is a fool’s errand, especially when it comes to supply chain and logistics. Who knows what the rest of the year holds. As my oldest son likes to say, “Let’s see what happens.” But be prepared, nonetheless. This includes asking a lot of “What if?” questions now and developing a response plan for each scenario. It’s the least you can do.

And with that, enjoy the Talking Logistics and Indago highlights for Q2 2025 below as you listen to your soundtrack song.
