In this episode, Mike and Taylor examine how conflict with Iran may affect markets — not through headline fear, but through the economic channels that matter most: oil, inflation, interest rates, and portfolio resilience. They discuss why geopolitical shocks require thoughtful analysis rather than reactive investing, and how diversification, sector exposure, and disciplined planning can help investors navigate uncertainty. This conversation offers perspective on separating emotional noise from economic reality and staying focused on long-term strategy when headlines feel unsettling.
