Abdul Al-Asaad, CEO and co-founder of Basic Capital, joins Other People’s Money to discuss how Basic Capital is revolutionizing access to leverage for everyday Americans. He argues that American’s have far too much access to credit for the wrong use, consumption, and far too little access for positive uses like investing in assets that could change their financial future. He discusses how Basic Capital’s term financing works, why most of the capital you receive through Basic Capital is invested in private credit, and why he believes that for many people inaction is a bigger risk than taking a leveraged bet on stocks and bonds.

Eric Pachman, Chief Analytics Officer at Bancreek Capital Advisors, joins Monetary Matters to discuss how the healthcare sector, the strongest sector for job growth in the whole economy, could falter because of the proposed cuts to spending in the Big Beautiful Bill and potentially even tip the whole economy into a recession. He also discusses how important government spending is in propping up the healthcare industry, making it largely unaffected by the tools the Federal Reserve would likely use to combat a potential recession led by the healthcare sector.
