Segment 1: Craig Bolanos, Co-Founder and CEO of Wealth Management Group, joins John to talk about why he wants to see a Fed rate cut in both September and December, the economy being okay but continuing to slow, investing during a Fed pause being good for the investor, when he starts to worry about rising unemployment, what the election in France means for the world, and where he suggests putting your money right now.
Segment 2: Jim Dallke, Director of Communications, TechNexus Venture Collaborative, tells John about a Chicago startup that helps cannabis companies get better data about inventory and pricing, a local tech project landing millions of funding from the Biden administration to increase tech, and why 60% of business leaders are anticipating layoffs the second half of the year.
Segment 3: Pat Ford, Executive Director of the Steans Family Foundation, talks to John about what the Steans Family Foundation does, their partnership with the North Lawndale community, how they work to transform the neighborhood, and the opening of the Fillmore Center, a new project that will bring economic growth to the area.
