Next up: the potential 30-year impact of GLP-1s.

What happens when a single class of medications begins changing not only people's health—but also what they buy, how much they spend, and how entire industries operate?

In this special Garage Talk deep-dive, Bill Haase and PJ Ewing explore the growing impact of GLP-1 medications and why the effects could reach far beyond weight loss.

PJ shares his own experience using a GLP-1 medication and discusses the dramatic changes he has experienced so far, while Bill brings his perspective as a longtime financial professional and investor. Together, they explore what could happen over the next 5, 15, and even 30 years as these medications become more widely used.

The conversation begins with understanding what GLP-1 medications do and how they can affect appetite, food consumption, and people's relationship with certain foods.

But that's only the beginning.

💰 The economic ripple effects could be enormous.

The hosts examine how changing consumer behavior could affect:

🍔 Fast food and restaurants

They also discuss how businesses may need to move with the market as consumer preferences change.

If people consume less sugar, fewer processed foods, less alcohol, and smaller portions, what happens to the companies that produce those products?

And what happens to your 401(k), mutual funds, ETFs, or individual investments if major industries experience a significant shift in consumer demand?

Bill and PJ also revisit their discussion of the K-shaped economy and consider whether improved health, mobility, and financial circumstances could help some people change their position economically.

This isn't simply a conversation about weight loss.

It's a conversation about disruption, consumer behavior, business, healthcare, investing, and the future of the economy.

And this is only Part One.

The Garage Talk team plans to continue examining the subject across longer time horizons, including real estate, orthopedic surgery, bariatric surgery, lifestyle changes, and other industries that could be affected.

Is the economy really as bad as the headlines suggest? Or are we experiencing something more complicated?

In Episode 18 of Garage Talk, Bill Haase and PJ Ewing take a deeper look at the current economy, the growing divide between asset owners and those struggling to get ahead, the rise of artificial intelligence, and the difference between news reporting and media speculation.

The conversation begins with a simple question: Is the economy actually bad? The hosts look at unemployment, inflation, wages, interest rates, and historical economic conditions to explore why people can experience the economy very differently.

PJ introduces the concept of the K-shaped economy, a situation where some parts of the economy move upward while others move downward. Bill and PJ examine how technology, finance, real estate, stocks, hospitality, and travel can experience very different economic realities.

They also discuss practical strategies for financial growth, including:

💰 Financial education and better money decisions

Then the conversation takes a turn toward Artificial Intelligence. What happens when AI transforms the workforce? Should governments regulate AI development? Could excessive regulation affect global competition? And how important are safety guardrails as AI continues to advance?

Finally, Bill and PJ examine the modern media environment and the growing amount of speculation surrounding major economic, political, technological, and social stories. They discuss why long-form conversations and podcasts can provide a different perspective than short soundbites.

Two hosts. Two professional perspectives. One conversation about money, business, technology, and the world around us.

💳 BUY NOW, PAY LATER… BUT WHAT'S THE REAL COST?

In Episode 16 of Garage Talk with Bill Haase & PJ Ewing, the conversation takes a hard look at Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL), personal spending habits, merchant financing, data centers, and the rapidly changing economics of artificial intelligence.

Bill and PJ break down why services such as Klarna, Affirm, and Zip may seem convenient—but can potentially create debt stacking, missed payments, unexpected fees, and financial stress.

They also explore why BNPL isn't just being used for big-ticket purchases. For some consumers, installment financing is being used for everyday necessities, making financial literacy more important than ever.

🔹 How Buy Now, Pay Later really works

🧠 The bigger message?

Convenience isn't always free.

Whether you're clicking "Buy Now, Pay Later," paying another delivery fee, handing over personal data, or using an AI-powered service, understanding the financial implications can help you make better decisions.

Bill and PJ bring their trademark honest money talk to another conversation about the forces shaping our wallets and our future.

🚗🎙️ Welcome back to Garage Talk with Bill Haase & PJ Ewing!

In this episode, Bill Haase and new co-host PJ Ewing dive into a wide-ranging conversation about surveillance pricing, personal data, email marketing, investing, higher education, career choices, and what it really means to build a meaningful life.

As Garage Talk moves into a new weekly format, Bill and PJ bring the kind of honest, unscripted conversations you'd expect from friends sitting around the garage—asking questions about the issues that affect our money, careers, businesses, and everyday lives.

Bill and PJ explore the growing concern around surveillance pricing and how businesses can use customer information, shopping behavior, devices, apps, and browsing activity to better understand what consumers are willing to pay.

The convenience of technology comes with a question: How much of our personal information are we willing to trade for convenience?

PJ explains why email marketing remains one of the most valuable tools for businesses, entrepreneurs, and artists, especially when companies build their own trusted audiences instead of relying entirely on social media algorithms.

Bill and PJ discuss the importance of protecting subscriber information and building relationships based on trust.

The conversation also turns toward personal finance and investing.

Bill explains how seemingly small expenses can add up over time while discussing inflation, rising costs, oil prices, corporate earnings, and the importance of making informed investment decisions.

Bill and PJ tackle another major question:

Is a traditional college degree still the best path to financial and career success?

They discuss the changing role of higher education, the growing focus on return on investment (ROI), trade schools, skilled labor, and the value of experiences that can't always be measured by a paycheck.

Bill shares his own experience as a college dropout and how his career developed through work and real-world experience.

PJ offers a different perspective, explaining how his college experiences helped shape him socially and personally.

Ultimately, this episode isn't just about money.

It's about making intentional choices.
