Episode Details

The digital economy doesn't stop at the border—and neither do the taxes, regulations, and economic forces that come with it.

In this episode of Trail Boss Radio, we explore the rapidly changing global digital economy through the growth of mobile apps, digital revenue, international trade, artificial intelligence, and the expanding world of digital taxation. From the United States and India leading the world in mobile app downloads to China's dominance in electronics manufacturing, the sources reveal how software, hardware, government policy, and consumer behavior are becoming increasingly interconnected.

But there's another side to the digital opportunity: the cost of doing business across borders. Digital services taxes, VAT, GST, and changing regulatory requirements can create new challenges for entrepreneurs who may think of themselves as simply selling a product or service online.

The Trail Boss perspective is simple: understand the terrain before you build on it. This episode looks at why digital entrepreneurs need to think beyond downloads and revenue and begin paying attention to the economic and regulatory environment surrounding their online businesses.

And there's an important lesson here for the growing Trail Boss community: a business built on digital infrastructure can reach around the world—but it still has to operate in the real world.

From Fort Worth to a growing global audience, this is another look at how technology is changing the playing field for the little guy—and why understanding the system may be just as important as knowing how to use the technology.
