TOPIC: 

It seems like every other news headline is about inflation, supply chain, and interest rates, but what do those things actually mean? We break it all down in today’s episode and explain how you can empower yourself financially during these uncertain times. Inflation is actually a very normal part of a healthy economy. We dive into what the Federal Reserve (aka the Fed) is, systems that are in place to prevent hyperinflation, and Warren Buffet’s top tips for earning money in a down economy. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• Real world examples that demonstrate how we arrived to today’s economic situation 
• The core responsibilities of the Fed 
• How lower interest rates help stimulate the economy
• Why you shouldn’t panic and hide all your money under your mattress (despite what your grandma told you) 
• How to beat inflation by investing in good businesses with low capital needs
