In this episode of Volala, we unpack the economic "dense fog" that’s clouding business and consumer decision-making in 2025. From spiking inflation expectations to surprising shifts in jobs data, tariffs making everything from solar panels to furniture more expensive, and a deep dive into why housing plays such a huge role in inflation—this one has it all.

You’ll hear why economists are worried about a possible recession, how businesses are reacting to policy uncertainty, and what history (specifically 2018) might tell us about what’s ahead. Plus, Ayeh breaks down how Fed rate hikes are driving up housing costs in some cases, and why the last mile of the inflation fight is proving so tricky.

If you're trying to make sense of today’s economic headlines and what they mean for your wallet, your business, and your future, this episode is your map through the fog.
