Investor’s Playbook: Shutdown Showdown — What It Means for Markets & You
In this episode of Investor’s Playbook, we’re digging into the U.S. government shutdown that began October 1, 2025. With Congress unable to pass new funding, federal agencies are largely frozen, hundreds of thousands of workers are furloughed or forced to work without pay, and vital services are strained. 

We’ll walk through how this affects the economy—from the hit to GDP (the White House warns of up to $15 billion lost per week) to disruptions in air travel, federal programs, and data reporting.

Then we’ll bring it home: what this means for your investments. Volatility is rising. Some sectors may face stiff headwinds. Others might find unexpected opportunities. We’ll talk strategy — how to navigate uncertainty, where to stay defensive, and what to watch if the shutdown drags on.

If you want to stay sharp (not scared) in chaotic times, this episode’s for you.
