In this episode Kevin Coldiron is joined by bestselling author Joe Studwell who speaks about his new book How Africa Works: Success and Failure on the World's Last Development Frontier. We discuss why many of our perceptions about Africa are wrong - why one big problem has been too few people, not too many and why the continent isn't as resource-rich as we think. Joe talks us through some surprising success stories - like Rwanda's emulation of Singapore and Botswana's success in avoiding “the resource curse”. This is the time to begin researching and understanding the opportunities in a continent that has more land mass than the US, China and India combined and will eventually be home to the majority of the world's young people.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Kevin on SubStack & read his Book.Follow Joe on LinkedIn and read his book.Episode TimeStamps: 00:01 - Introduction to the episode and guest02:04 - Why the book was written and initial motivation05:50 - Outsider perspective and reactions in Africa07:22 - The core idea: population density and development08:22 - Why Africa's growth lagged historically14:23 - Population growth and changing economic potential15:39 - Colonialism in Africa vs Asia20:14 - Land, agriculture, and development differences23:55 - Rise of private sector and food production25:57 - Resources and the limits of extractive growth29:56 - Botswana and managing resource wealth36:21 - Rwanda's development model and governance44:41 - Ethnic dynamics and future stability50:24 - China's role and manufacturing potential56:04 - Investing in Africa and long term outlookCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

The fastest way to lose money in multifamily isn't a bad market—it's buying without knowing exactly why.Most investors don't fail because they lack deals… they fail because they never defined what a deal actually is.In this conversation, we break down the moment where growth stops being about hustle—and starts being about discipline. Because once you scale past your first few properties, the rules change fast… and ignoring that shift can cost you years.If you're serious about building a real multifamily business—not just collecting units—this is the kind of thinking that separates operators from dabblers.If you're ready to apply this at a higher level, join us inside the Tribe of Titans community: → https://www.thetribeoftitans.comWhat You'll Learn Why most investors hit a wall right after early success  The hidden danger behind “just getting your next deal”  How one bad deal can shape your entire investing philosophy  The real reason scaling too fast creates long-term risk  What disciplined investors do differently in hot markets  Why passing on deals can actually accelerate your growth Why This MattersThere's always pressure to move faster, go bigger, and chase the next opportunity.But the investors who last aren't the ones doing the most deals… they're the ones who understand exactly which deals to do—and which ones to walk away from.This episode is about building that filter.Because no deal is better than a bad one.Gino BarbaroGino Barbaro is a real estate investor, Certified Money Coach®, entrepreneur, and podcast host. He has built a multifamily portfolio of over 1,900 units, representing more than $450 million in assets under management.Through his platform, Barbaro 360, Gino's mission is to help families create lasting legacies by restoring traditional values around family, finances, and developing a healthier relationship with money.He is the best-selling author of Happy Money Happy Family Happy Legacy and lives in St. Augustine, Florida with his wife Julia and their six children.Learn more about him at: https://barbaro360.com/ or https://tinyurl.com/29bw3p7z About the Host:Brian Briscoe is an apartment operator and founder of Streamline Capital, focused on acquiring and operating multifamily properties in the greater Salt Lake City metro.

I've been coaching financial advisors for more than 20 years, and there's one pattern I've seen far too often in our industry…The advisor who builds a successful business, wins the awards, looks like they're crushing it from the outside, but behind the scenes, things at home start falling apart.At the core of it, there's a gap between who you appear to be… and who you actually are.That's exactly what my conversation with Jimmy Rollins is all about. Jimmy is a nationally recognized preacher and marriage coach who's spent decades working with leaders on culture and leadership. He's also lived through this himself when success at work started costing him his marriage.We talk about why so many high performers feel stuck, the difference between transparency, vulnerability, and real accountability, and what starts to happen when you avoid the internal work as a leader.Jimmy also breaks down the four steps to real freedom, why you'll always be as sick as your secrets, and how the things you ignore internally eventually show up in your team, your relationships, and your life outside of work.5 of the biggest insights from Jimmy Rollins…#1.) Why Some Teams Never ThriveA lot of advisors think their team isn't performing because of talent or systems. Jimmy flips that. When people on your team are struggling emotionally or personally, it shows up in how they work. The best firms don't just build better teams, they develop healthier people.#2.) Freedom Comes From Having Nothing To HideMost high performers are chasing success, but still feel stuck or under pressure. Jimmy breaks down the four steps (transparency, vulnerability, accountability, and intimacy) and why real freedom as a leader comes when you stop managing perception and start living with nothing to hide.#3.) When Success At Work Was Costing Him His MarriageJimmy opens up about the breaking point in his marriage and the realization that his success in one area of life was creating damage in another, and what it took to turn things around.#4.) The Work Most Leaders Avoid Is The Work That Matters MostTop-performing advisors are great at building businesses—but many avoid the internal work required to lead well. Jimmy explains why self-awareness, emotional health, and confronting your blind spots are what actually determine how far your business (and life) can scale.#5.) How Advisors Can Open The Door To More DiversityJimmy breaks down why most firms stay the same—and how comfort, preference, and familiarity shape who you hire and connect with. Real diversity starts when leaders intentionally step outside those patterns.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/166FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALXInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

My guest today is Paul Tudor Jones. Paul is the founder of Tudor Investment Corporation and one of the greatest macro traders of all time, known for calling and profiting from the 1987 crash and compounding capital at extraordinary rates over more than four decades. Paul is also one of the most entertaining and interesting people I have ever met. He is full of stories and hard-earned lessons from a lifetime in markets that feels like several lifetimes compressed into one. In this conversation, he shares how he thinks about trading as a constant battle of risk management and patience, why he still wakes up in the middle of the night to watch global markets, and how he identifies the rare moments where he can take a truly big swing. We discuss whether we are in a bubble, why he sees AI as one of the greatest risks in history, and why he believes Bitcoin is the best inflation hedge. We also spend time on the difference between trading and investing, the importance of passion and discipline, and the ideas that have shaped his life both inside and outside of markets. Please enjoy this conversation with Paul Tudor Jones. This conversation was recorded in mid-February 20, 26 weeks before the geopolitical conflicts now shaping the global economy.

In this co-host episode, Travis and his producer, Eric, break down the latest data on financial stress in America and shares his unfiltered perspective on what it really takes to improve your financial situation. With a mix of humor, real-world examples, and hard truths, they challenge listeners to stop waiting for external solutions and start building skills that create income and independence. On this episode we talk about: The latest SurveyMonkey data on rising financial stress and affordability challenges Why blaming the government won't fix your personal financial situation Practical ways to make more money through skills, promotions, and side hustles How to use extra cash (like tax refunds) to create long-term income The mindset shift required to take ownership of your financial future Top 3 Takeaways The biggest lever you can pull isn't cutting expenses—it's increasing your income through valuable skills. Waiting for external solutions (like government policy changes) delays progress you could be making right now. Investing in yourself—your skills, knowledge, and earning ability—creates lasting financial stability, not temporary relief. Notable Quotes "Nobody has as much control over your financial situation as you do." "You can only cut your expenses to zero, but there's no cap on how much you can make." "Even if it's not your fault, it's still your responsibility."

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Sharise Nance. Purpose of the Interview To showcase Sharise Nance’s mission in mental health advocacy, entrepreneurship, and workplace wellness. To discuss her companies: Hand in Hand Counseling Services – addressing mental health disparities in Black communities. Vitamin C Healing – building trauma-sensitive, wellness-centered workplace cultures. To educate on stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, and financial equity in the mental health field. Key Takeaways Hand in Hand Counseling Services Founded with college roommate Tess Kenny in Pittsburgh. Created a safe space for mental health support in underserved communities. Celebrating 12 years in operation. Breaking Mental Health Stigma Built trust through community presence and transparency. Advocated therapy as normal: “I’m a therapist who has a therapist.” Education on what therapy is and isn’t. Understanding Stress Eustress (positive stress) vs. Distress (overwhelming stress). Physical signs: sweating, rapid heartbeat, tense shoulders, jaw clenching. Stress can lead to depression and anxiety—seek professional help. Impact of COVID-19 Isolation amplified mental health issues. Introduced concept of co-regulation—healing through community and connection. Vitamin C Healing Originated from her book Vitamin C Healing for the Mind, Body. Evolved into a brand offering workshops, consultations, and burnout assessments. Focused on helping professionals and leaders prevent compassion fatigue. Financial Equity in Mental Health Advocates for fair pay: “We can care deeply and earn abundantly.” Challenges the mindset that passion work means low income. Encourages professionals to set boundaries and value their expertise. Burnout & Organizational Cost Unaddressed burnout costs companies millions annually. Leads to quiet quitting, low productivity, and high turnover. Investing in wellness saves money and improves culture. Personal Journey Biggest bet: leaving full-time job in 2017 to pursue entrepreneurship. Therapy helped her navigate fear and grief (especially after losing her father). Quote: “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” Notable Quotes “We can care deeply and earn abundantly.” “I’m a therapist who has a therapist.” “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” “We heal when we are in community—it’s hard to heal in isolation.” “Compassion fatigue isn’t just a feel-good topic; it costs companies millions.” “Betting on myself was the best investment I ever made.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Major U.S. stock indexes have rebounded sharply in recent weeks. Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson discusses the fundamentals that could support the continuation of the bull market.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast, I'll be discussing why I remain bullish even after such a strong run in stocks. It's Monday, April 27th at 11:30am in New York. So, let's get after it. The U.S. equity market just experienced one of the most dramatic bounces in history from a technical standpoint. It went from oversold to overbought territory in just 12 days. Based on our conversations, the speed of this move has led some to express caution about the near-term path of equities – but that's the way it usually works. The market waits for no one once it decides to move on. From our perspective, this feels like last year. Many investors are contemplating the lagging impacts of higher commodity prices on inflation just like they were thinking through the effects of higher tariff rates a year ago. Many companies will feel the downstream impacts on a lagging basis. But we believe equity indices and many subgroups already suffered enough damage to account for these concerns. In other words, the equity market isn't simply looking past the risks, it already priced them. Take into consideration that the earnings picture is much stronger today with forward 12-month earnings growth approaching 25 percent versus just 9 percent a year ago. As well, we still hear many commentators suggesting that growth is only coming from a handful of stocks. While mathematically that is a fair point for the top-heavy S&P 500, it doesn't acknowledge that forward earnings growth for the median company and for small caps is also well into the double digits. This cadence is very different from the prior three to four years when the economy was experiencing a rolling recession. It also supports our rolling recovery and broadening thesis we laid out a year ago. So far, the first quarter earnings season has delivered a 10 percent beat rate in aggregate. This is two times the long-term average. More importantly, second quarter and forward 12-month company guidance have increased by an additional 2 to 3 percent. Besides earnings beat rates and guidance, we are also watching capex guidance and signs of pricing power. We entered 2026 with a view that the capex cycle was gaining momentum, thanks to three tailwinds: First, strong earnings and cash flow, which tend to correlate with capex. Second, tax incentives from the BBB; and third, strong demand for the AI buildout and reshoring of manufacturing. Early indications on this front are supportive with median stock capex growth running almost 10 percent, and our factor work continuing to show that the market is rewarding high capex. It's important to see these trends continue as the quarter progresses, especially this week when the hyperscalers are scheduled to report. Another point; given potential downstream cost headwinds from the Iran war, we want to see pricing power and top line durability persist. Early indications here are also supportive with sales surprises for the S&P 500 running well above average and close to 2 percent. Finally, as noted in prior podcasts, one of the last hurdles for the market to overcome was the Fed's recent hawkish pivot on higher oil prices and the transition of its leadership from Jay Powell to Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh. This past week, Kevin Warsh appeared in front of the Senate. He signaled some caution on near-term rate cuts, noting that inflation risks are not resolved. He also reiterated his well-established criticism of the Fed's historic willingness to intervene in markets and the economy too aggressively with its balance sheet. Every Fed Chair transition typically requires a learning period for the markets where they test the new chair's resolve and figure out how to interpret his or her communication style. This time should be no different and could lead to some corrective price action in the near-term caused by short spikes in bond volatility or stress in funding markets. In my view, the Treasury and Fed will be able to manage these risks in the end leaving the bull market intact. Thanks for tuning in; I hope you found it informative and useful.

This single property created more than $10M in value, but it was the most complex real estate deal we've ever done. We had to put a million dollars at risk to even start the transaction—and it was non-refundable. Multiple buyers, a cross-collateralized property in receivership with a parking lot, a hotel, and office space. This wasn't going to be easy, but it definitely paid off.  Today, I'm peeling back the curtain, showing you the full numbers and story of this commercial real estate case study that proves if you put in the work, the reward is there—and it could be an eight-figure payoff.  I'll walk through how we got this off-market, underpriced property sent to us, how we found buyers to take over the parts of the property we had no interest in, the substantial non-refundable earnest money we had to put down to close, and the hiccup at the eleventh hour that almost completely killed the deal. Plus, I'll share exactly what we did to take this parking garage investment from $31M to $35M to now being worth north of $40 million. This is how we did it. Insights from today's episode: A full real estate case study of the most complex deal we've ever done  Why I put a seven-figure non-refundable deposit on a property that had low chances of closing  How we immediately walked into $4 million of equity from purchase  The value-add improvements we made to grow this property's value by over $10 million  The #1 reason why a broker sent this off-market deal to us before anyone else  How we subdivided and sold parts of the property while we were buying it  Our exact loan structure (LTV, debt, terms) to reduce risk  — Investing in Parking Lots: Real Estate's #1 Overlooked Opportunity | Ep. 977 Charlotte Parking Facility Case Study  Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

In this episode of the Bogleheads® on Investing podcast, host Jon Luskin, CFP®, sits down with Jay Jacobs, US Head of Equity ETFs at BlackRock, to answer community-submitted questions about how to invest simply and effectively for retirement. Jay oversees more than 300 iShares ETFs spanning US equity, international, outcome, and digital asset strategies, and brings deep institutional expertise to the Bogleheads community's most pressing investing questions. Jon and Jay explore the powerful tax-efficiency advantages of ETF structures over mutual funds, particularly for investors using all-in-one and target-date products in taxable brokerage accounts. The conversation covers how ETFs use in-kind creation/redemption mechanisms to minimize capital gains distributions, a significant edge over traditional mutual funds. The episode dives into the research and methodology behind glide path design, including how demographic shifts (people working and living longer), inflation expectations, and capital markets assumptions all influence how the stock/bond mix evolves over an investor's lifetime. Jay explains the rationale behind the LifePath funds' 40% stock/60% bond terminal allocation, why a market-weight approach to international exposure makes sense for long-term investors, and more. • • • Jon Luskin, CFP®, a long-time Boglehead and financial planner, hosts this episode of the podcast.

Kevin Warsh, President Trump's nominee for the next Fed Chair, testified in front of the Senate earlier this week. Our Global Head of Fixed Income Research Andrew Sheets presents key takeaways from the two-and-half-hour testimony.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Global Head of Fixed Income Research at Morgan Stanley. Today on the program, a first look at potentially the next Fed chair. It's Friday, April 24th at 9am in New York. Financial markets can often struggle to keep track of more than one story at a time – and at present, we're really pushing the limit. At one end, the Iran conflict continues to create a historic disruption in global energy markets. At the other, signs of corporate animal spirits and activity hint at the potential for an even larger boom if this disruption ends. Merger activity, capital spending, loan growth and earnings growth are all strong and accelerating. And so, into this mix enters a third story, the Federal Reserve. Indeed, both Iran and the investment boom introduce real questions as to how a central bank should react to these factors. For example, if oil prices spike further, should the central bank raise interest rates to counter the inflation that would follow? Or should it lower them because that increase in oil prices could potentially hit growth? And what about corporate aggression? As that aggression increases, should the Fed look to raise interest rates and take away the punch bowl, so to speak, to avoid an even larger overheating in the economy? Or maybe all of this investment will create abundance – actually lower prices and warrant interest rate cuts. These questions will weigh on the Fed and, in particular, Kevin Warsh, who has been nominated by President Trump to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve. This week saw Warsh testify in front of the Senate as part of that process, giving us the most detailed insight into his current thinking that we've had so far. Two things really stood out. First, Warsh believes that this historic boom in AI and technology investment really is likely to boost productivity. A productivity boost, all else equal, should mean a greater supply of goods and services into the economy from the same number of workers; and thanks to that greater supply, relatively lower prices and less inflation. This belief in investment driven productivity underpins why he thinks interest rates can be lower even if current inflation is elevated. Second, Warsh was critical of the Fed, stating that it had “lost its way,” from expanding its balance sheet too much to being too slow to reign in inflation following COVID. He outlined a sweeping agenda for change, including how the Fed could forecast inflation, manage its assets, and communicate its policy. But another challenge that's going to be facing the next Fed chair will be personal as much as it's economic. Fed decisions are made by a majority vote. And while Warsh may feel strongly that the historic investment cycle that we're seeing in technology will bring down inflation, can he convince others of this as well – especially at a time when current inflation readings are somewhat elevated? And will his criticism of how the Fed has conducted action over the last several years make it harder to gain the support of colleagues, some of whom were there for those measures? Or will it be welcomed as a breath of fresh air and a chance for the Fed to have a new start? The uncertain timing of the handover and the fact that policy is still up to committee means that we think markets will likely stay focused on other factors in the near term and expect relatively modest shifts in Fed policy for now. But it's still worth watching. Since 1979, only five individuals have occupied this important seat leading the U.S. Central Bank. We may be about to get the sixth. Thank you as always for your time. If you find Thoughts of the Market useful, let us know by leaving a review wherever you listen. And also tell a friend or colleague about us today.

Dan Passarelli joins us to share his best billionaire investing secrets as he takes us on his journey from trading on the Chicago Board Options Exchange floor to becoming an educator. He explains how options have evolved from a niche tool into a widely used strategy for investors seeking to both reduce risk and enhance returns. He emphasizes that while traditional diversification helps manage volatility, options can further "tilt the scale" by generating income and smoothing returns. We explore the common misconception that options are purely speculative, highlighting instead their flexibility for income generation, hedging, and tailoring trades to specific market views. The key takeaway is that options are powerful but nuanced tools, capable of improving long-term outcomes when used with education, risk awareness, and a structured approach. We discuss... Options have grown significantly in popularity as investors recognize their ability to enhance returns while managing risk. Risk is often measured by volatility (standard deviation), and while diversification helps, options can further reduce portfolio swings. Covered calls allow investors to generate consistent income by selling the right for others to buy their stock at a higher price. Cash-secured puts enable investors to collect premium while setting target prices to potentially buy stocks at a discount. The "wheel" strategy cycles between covered calls and cash-secured puts to continuously generate income and manage positions. Options can be used strategically for income, hedging, or directional views rather than just speculation or gambling. Complexity is a major barrier, but investors can start small, learn incrementally, and build skill over time. More advanced strategies like spreads allow similar returns with lower capital but introduce trade-offs such as capped upside. Market makers differ from retail traders by focusing on liquidity and pricing rather than directional bets. Liquidity and bid-ask spreads play a critical role in execution quality and overall profitability in options trading. The rise of meme stocks and platforms like Robinhood brought new participants into options trading, often with mixed results. While some traders treat options as speculation, disciplined investors can use them as a structured risk management tool. There is debate around whether selling options has an inherent edge due to risk premiums, though both buying and selling can be profitable. Successful options trading requires understanding trade-offs, time horizons, volatility, and personal risk tolerance.

 “What if the million dollars you're trying to raise is already sitting inside your phone?” In this episode, Akash Jain shares how he built over $100M+ in AUM and invested in more than 200 deals across real estate, startups, and alternative assets by leveraging relationships, systems, and disciplined diversification. Akash walks through his journey from becoming an accidental landlord to scaling a 700-unit portfolio, while simultaneously operating across venture capital and AI-driven businesses. He breaks down why consistency in communication builds long-term investor trust, how funds and customizable structures create flexibility across asset classes, and how AI can streamline capital raising—without ever replacing human relationships. The conversation also dives into market cycles, current buying opportunities, and why deep networks—not just deal flow—are the real foundation of scaling in today's environment. 5 Key TakeawaysYour existing network is your first source of capital Most people underestimate the value of their personal and professional relationships when starting to raise money. Diversification across asset classes builds resilience Investing across real estate, startups, and other sectors helps balance risk and create long-term wealth. Consistency is critical for investor trust Regular communication—through newsletters, calls, or content—strengthens relationships and credibility over time. AI enhances efficiency but cannot replace relationships Automation can streamline processes, but trust and human interaction remain essential in capital raising. Market cycles create opportunity for prepared investors Down markets and distressed assets can present strong buying opportunities for those with capital and discipline. About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

You're not careless with money. You try to be intentional. But somehow at the end of the month, there's still less than there should be — and you can't quite figure out where it went. What if the problem isn't discipline — but a type of spending leak that even the most careful budgeters almost never catch? In this episode, I walk through the Cost vs. Frequency Matrix — a simple framework for identifying three invisible drains that quietly bleed most middle-class budgets dry. We talk about value decay (purchases that made total sense once, but quietly stopped serving you), what the average American home's 300,000 items tells us about how we buy things, and how this all connects back to what it really means to steward what God has entrusted to you.

Our Global Chief Economist and Head of Macro Research Seth Carpenter asks Mayank Phadke, a member of his team, to give up an update on tariffs and their real cost to the U.S. economy.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Seth Carpenter: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Seth Carpenter, Morgan Stanley's Global Chief Economist and Head of Macro Research. And I'm joined by Mayank Phadke, a member of my global economics team. And today we're going to talk about tariffs. I bet that was a surprise. It is Thursday, April 23rd at 10am in New York. I have to say, for the past couple of months, the focus on energy markets, energy supply, energy prices – that has dominated everything that we've been talking to clients about around the world. And so, everyone would be forgiven if they had forgotten that we were talking about tariffs much the same way, nonstop last year. Now, tariffs kind of seem like an afterthought. But part of the stated motivation for tariffs when they were imposed was to boost reshoring. That is to have more production of goods in the United States that had been imported. So, tariffs still matter. They matter for CapEx, in that regard, they matter for domestic production. And because of all of that, presumably they matter for markets and for the Federal Reserve. But for the narrow question of reshoring, the data so far, I would argue, suggests that there's been very little net effect. There will be more tariff news arriving in coming months. So Mayank, I am going to pull you into this conversation because you have been one of the key people on the team, doing of analysis on the data work on tariffs, trade and reshoring. So, could you tell us a little bit about what's been happening to the effective tariff rate for the United States recently? And where we think that's likely to go? Mayank Phadke: Tariff levels have declined steadily in recent months, falling to 8.5 percent as of February, with the decline having accelerated after the Supreme Court ruling. The decision on IEEPA forced a shift in underlying tariff authorities with country level IEEPA tariffs temporarily reconstituted under Section 122. We have long argued, even before the 2025 tariffs that the legal basis for durable tariffs would need to be anchored in section 232 and section 301 based authorities rather than in IEEPA. The current Section 122 tariffs are due to expire on the 24th of July. And after that, we expect more durable authorities to kick in. The shifts that we will see as IEEPA tariffs are replaced by new section 301 and 232 tariffs means that there will be some differences. But from a macro perspective, we expect the level to be roughly similar to where it stood at the end of 2025. An aggregate effective rate of around 10 percent. Two sets of Section 301 investigations were announced by the administration in March, covering virtually all major trading partners. These investigations are likely to run on a faster timeline than prior efforts. Those took around nine months. The comments were requested by the 15th of April, with hearings scheduled for early May. We're inclined to expect completed section 301 investigations over the summer while section 232 tariffs will likely arrive in waves as sector-based investigations proceed. Seth Carpenter: Got it. Okay. So, I'm going to summarize that to say tariffs are not going away. Tariffs are here. In the aggregate for macro economists like us, probably about the same level it's been. But that escapes the question about the individual industries, and it brings us right back to this question of reshoring. Is that what's going to happen? And so, when I think about it, we do have all these negotiations. But the reshoring question forces you to wonder about manufacturing, manufacturing growth and with it CapEx. And like I said at the top, it's non-AI CapEx that's really on the soft side of things. So, you've spent a lot of time looking at the data. I would say one industry that tends to stand out in all these conversations is steel. So, if we look at what's happened with the steel industry, with tariffs, with changes in imports and that sort of things, what's happened? Do we see clear evidence that there's this big reshoring push? Mayank Phadke: The case of steel is certainly very interesting. It helps frame why tariff uncertainty matters. And the supply chain for steel is relatively compact, which makes it easier to observe how the sector responds to tariffs. Domestic production has risen as imports have fallen consistent with the idea of reshoring. But when we look at the total supply of steel to the domestic economy, it hasn't risen. More importantly, U.S. steel prices have materially diverged from global peers. And the risk of more aggressive sector tariffs across the economy, in our view is higher prices. An outcome which is consistent with our expectations from a year ago – and with economic theory. Seth Carpenter: As an economist, I'm always happy when the reality matches what I was expecting in theory. So, that's super helpful. Now, that is one specific industry, and I know that you have spent a bunch of time looking at the data across industries. The point that you made though, about the higher prices, the higher domestic prices for steel means, to me as an economist, that we have to try to maybe separate out the effects of the nominal versus the real. Which is to say, if we're measuring how much output there is, how much that increase is coming from just prices going up versus how much is coming from, total quantity. So, if I asked you, when you look across industries, when you look at the data, what evidence do you see in terms of lots of reshoring. That is to say a diversion of trade, a reduction of imports, and with it an increase in domestic production. Is that there broadly in the data? Mayank Phadke: When we look at production and imports across industries and goods and identify the industries both with and without reduced imports, we see that the increase in domestic production has come largely in nominal terms. Which means that the price has risen, but very little of that increase is actually higher output. The evidence for meaningful reassuring here is quite limited. Seth Carpenter: Alright. So that's super helpful to me because when I think about the implications of tariffs, the economist in me says it reduces the overall productive capacity of the economy. It raises cost for the economy. The counter argument has been we're going to make more in the United States and that's going to boost the U.S. economy. As far as I can tell, when we look at the data themselves, there's not a lot of evidence for the upside. But there is clear evidence that we're raising costs for the U.S. economy. Alright, well Mayank, thank you so much for joining me. And thank you to the listeners.

For many high achievers, success in business doesn't always translate to success at home. I've seen many entrepreneurs build successful companies, generate life-changing wealth, and yet still struggle in their marriages and relationships. Often, it's because the same drive that fuels success is the very thing creating distance in the relationships that matter most.This pattern is something Stefanos Sifandos understands well. As a relationship expert, speaker, and bestselling author, he has spent over two decades helping high-performing individuals master their inner world. His newest book, Tuned In and Turned On, offers a blueprint for healing the hurts in relationships. Through his work in emotional intelligence and relational dynamics, Stefanos helps entrepreneurs and leaders uncover the hidden patterns that shape how they show up in life and love.In our conversation, Stefanos explains how success often compensates for unresolved internal struggles, how chronic stress impairs communication and connection at home, and how high performers subtly sabotage their relationships through control and avoidance. He also offers practical ways to build emotional resilience, improve presence, and deepen relationships without sacrificing ambition or success.In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ Why many high achievers struggle in relationships despite being incredibly successful professionally.✅ How emotional regulation directly impacts leadership, communication, connection, and how a simple stillness practice can help you build it.✅ The hidden patterns of control and avoidance that quietly sabotage relationships and marriages.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/287Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

Are you playing the game, or being played by it?Tom Bilyeu is an entrepreneur, co-founder of Quest Nutrition, and founder of Impact Theory, one of the most-watched interview platforms in the world. He has spent years studying the systems that shape financial outcomes, and in this conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, he makes a case that most people find unsettling: the financial system you're working inside was not designed with your interests in mind.Tom argues that the single most important thing most people are missing is not effort or ambition, it's a clear-eyed understanding of how the system actually works. He walks through why inflation is not a natural economic phenomenon but a mechanism that quietly transfers purchasing power from workers to asset owners, why 10% of Americans own 93% of assets, and why the gap between the wealthy and everyone else is not a bug in the system, it's a feature.But this conversation goes well beyond economic critique. It's also about the beliefs and mental models we carry that keep us operating on a map that no longer matches the terrain. Tom introduces the idea that beliefs are not truths, they're interpretations, and that updating them, especially the ones about money, work, and what's possible, is the most leveraged thing a person can do. He also offers a clear-eyed take on AI and why the people who learn to use it as a force multiplier will have an enormous edge over those who don't.In this conversation, we explore:Why the Federal Reserve system was designed to benefit asset owners and how inflation quietly steals purchasing powerHow 10% of Americans came to own 93% of assets, and why it was baked in by designWhy your beliefs are interpretations, not truths, and how to use that insight to your advantageHow to think about investing across 12 to 15 economic forces rather than chasing individual stocksWhy AI is the most important force multiplier available right now, and how to use it without losing your own thinkingWhat the K-shaped economy is, what it means for the next generation, and what parents need to knowTom's not here to make you feel good about where things stand and where we're headed. He's here to hand you a better map.
