What's affecting me, my clients, my colleagues and other global small business owners:

• Affordable arrivals lounges offer amenities like nap pods and showers where weary passengers can freshen up. You may never start a vacation the same way again, nor do you have to be rich to enjoy an airport shower on that worldwide vacation.
• The hottest ticket in town according to Trump, turned deadly. All I see is a lot of women left unprotected.
• International tourists are turning away from the United States despite a global travel surge.
• Quote of the week:  “Everyone who's ever taken a shower has an idea. It's the person who gets out of the shower, dries off and does something about it who makes a difference." – Nolan Bushnell
• Tariff refunds put businesses on the spot.
• What Americans are worried about.  CEOs need to pay attention.
