  "account": "Garett Senez, the 39-year-old founder and CEO of Quark Baby, had his business hit by tariffs on China and Canada. 90% of his company's business is in the US, and they also manufactured in China. The tariffs were a shock, forcing Senez to outsource production to Korea, which came at a significant cost of under $1 million. The tariffs also led to lost sales, stockouts, and difficulty in meeting purchase orders. Despite the challenges, Quark Baby has managed to recover and is now back on a steady track. Senez credits the Canadian government's support and the tight-knit nature of the baby industry for helping them navigate the difficulties. He emphasizes the importance of perseverance and continuous innovation in entrepreneurship, even in tough times.",
  "summary": "Garett Senez's company Quark Baby is based in Canada and manufactured in China. The tariffs required him to switch up his supply chain to survive.",
