Description
By Land and By Sea – An Attorney Breaking Down the Week in Supply Chain
Welcome to By Land and By Sea, a weekly podcast hosted by maritime attorney Lauren Beagen—Founder of The Maritime Professor® and Squall Strategies®.
Each episode breaks down the latest developments in global ocean shipping, surface transportation, and supply chain regulation—in plain language. Whether it's a new rule from the Federal Maritime Commission, a tariff shift from USTR, or a regional port policy taking shape, Lauren explains what’s happening, why it matters, and what it means for your business.
Designed for industry professionals, regulators, shippers, and anyone curious about the mechanics behind global trade, By Land and By Sea offers timely insights at the intersection of policy, logistics, and law.
⚖️ Educational, not legal advice.
🌊 Straightforward, insightful, and actionable.
Because, as we say every week: OCEAN. SHIPPING. MOVES. THE. WORLD.
