The economy keeps defying predictions. We were supposed to see a recession—we didn't. Inflation was supposed to cool quickly—it hasn't. Yet markets remain resilient and corporate earnings stay solid.

In this episode, I break down the 7 key themes shaping markets right now and explain why the old investment playbook no longer works. We're living in what I call "Paradigm C"—an era of aggressive fiscal spending, coordinated monetary policy, and structurally higher inflation. The rules have changed.

I'll walk you through:

• Why the economy looks strong on paper but families are struggling

• The Fed's quiet shift to a 3% inflation target and what it means for your money

• Why tariff headlines are overblown

• The Treasury debt dynamic creating hidden market volatility

• How to position your portfolio for this new regime

This is a data-driven, macro-focused episode designed to help you think like an institutional investor. No fluff. Just actionable insights.
