America's national debt is rapidly approaching $40 trillion, while the federal government is projected to spend roughly $7.4 trillion this fiscal year.There is no pandemic, no economic depression, and no declared world war. Yet Washington continues operating as though the country is facing a permanent emergency.In Episode 515, economist Jerry Robinson asks a basic question: What are Americans getting for all this money?Social Security remains exposed. Healthcare consumes trillions while producing disappointing outcomes. Educational achievement is slipping. American families are under increasing financial pressure. Meanwhile, Washington continues finding money for wars of choice, foreign commitments, corporate subsidies, and politically connected interests.Jerry argues that America's central problem is not a lack of money. It is a crisis of priorities, stewardship, and accountability.Later, in Market Insights, Jerry explains what the approaching $40 trillion debt burden could mean for Treasury yields, bonds, inflation, the U.S. dollar, gold, stocks, retirement income, and household financial planning.In this episode:Why trillion-dollar deficits have become Washington's normal operating modelWhat the national debt reveals about America's prioritiesThe looming Social Security funding challengeWhy America spends so much on healthcare but receives poor resultsThe financial and moral costs of wars of choiceWhat rising government debt could mean for interest ratesWhy gold and productive assets may matter in a debt-heavy eraPractical steps households can take to prepare without panickingThe national debt is serious, but fear is not a financial plan. Stay informed, remain diversified, and keep your own financial priorities in order.Visit FollowtheMoney.com for Jerry Robinson's latest market insights, investing tools, trading education, and membership resources.Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and should not be considered personalized financial advice.

Updated inflation projections are only part of the story when it comes to pharmacy planning. Host Carolyn Liptak is joined by Dr. Jeni Hayes and Dr. Amanda Frick, to discuss Vizient's Summer 2026 Spend Management Outlook and why utilization trends, reimbursement, ambulatory care, and the expanding pipeline of advanced therapies are becoming just as important as inflation when preparing health systems for 2027 and beyond.   Guest speakers: Jeni Hayes, PharmD, MS Pharm, BCPS Senior Clinical Manager, Market Insights & Forecasting Vizient Clinical Spend Management   Amanda Frick, PharmD, BCPS Senior Clinical Manager, Market Insights and Forecasting Vizient Clinical Spend Management   Host:    Carolyn Liptak, MBA, BS Pharm  Pharmacy Executive Director, Regulatory Compliance  Vizient Center for Pharmacy Practice Excellence     Show notes:  01:03 Why this year's Spend Management Outlook expands beyond inflation to include utilization, reimbursement, product mix, and operational readiness.  How pharmacy leaders can use these broader market signals to make stronger strategic and financial decisions.  01:54 The updated 2027 pharmaceutical inflation projection and why it increased from the previous forecast.  Why organizations should pair national benchmarks with their own purchasing data to improve budgeting accuracy.  03:28  Three major trends transforming pharmacy planning, including ambulatory growth, utilization, and enterprise collaboration.  Why these consistent themes are changing how health systems approach long term pharmacy strategy.  04:25 How new utilization analyses provide earlier insight into future pharmacy demand than inflation data alone.  Examples of shifting trends in oncology therapies and GLP 1 medications that are influencing operational planning.  05:34 Why GLP 1 growth is creating opportunities that extend well beyond pharmacy budgeting.  How retail pharmacy, specialty pharmacy, pharmacist led clinics, and medication management can strengthen patient care and organizational performance.  07:10 Why pharmacy has evolved into an enterprise wide capability that impacts access, reimbursement, and financial performance.  How stronger collaboration across pharmacy, finance, revenue cycle, and clinical teams supports future readiness.  08:03  Emerging pipeline trends, including continued oncology growth and the rise of advanced therapies.  Why cell therapies, gene therapies, and RNA based medicines require organizations to prepare differently than traditional medications.  08:53  How health systems are preparing months before therapy approval by building operational and clinical infrastructure.  Why advanced therapies demand coordination across pharmacy, laboratory, nursing, finance, and physician teams.  10:33  The expansion of advanced therapies into autoimmune, neurologic, cardiac, and rare disease treatment.  Why organizations must balance planning for both high cost therapies and therapies with growing patient demand.  11:44 How pipeline monitoring has evolved into a strategic planning tool rather than simply tracking approvals.  Why early preparation helps organizations identify operational gaps before new therapies reach the market.  12:36  Key takeaways on preparing for the future of pharmacy through utilization data, operational planning, and enterprise collaboration.  Resources available through the Spend Management Outlook Insights Hub to support local budgeting and long term strategy.    Links and Resources:  Vizient Spend Management Outlook Insight Hub    Subscribe Today!

The average first-time homebuyer in Ontario is now 40 years old, according to Teranet's Q1 2026 Market Insights report. At the same time, first-time buyers became the most active buyer segment in Ontario, while multi-property owners fell from first place to third. In this episode, we use Ontario as the case study, then widen the lens nationally. Bank of Canada data shows first-time buyers have generally accounted for about half of mortgaged home purchases in Canada since 2014. CMHC's 2026 Mortgage Consumer Survey shows first-time buyers are renting longer before buying, relying on co-signers, and still getting help from family gifts. CREA's latest national resale data shows a market thawing, but not booming. This is not just an Ontario affordability story. It is a national buyer-quality story.

Lumida Wealth founder and CEO Ram Ahluwalia joins Chris Lustrino to discuss how the company is building an AI-powered wealth management platform for sophisticated investors. Ram frames Lumida as a next-generation investing platform designed to combine the best parts of brokerage accounts, financial advisors, market intelligence, and AI-powered portfolio tools into one experience.

Volatility has been the dominant theme in the municipal market, but it has also created new opportunities for investors. In this month's Muni 360 Market Insights, Eric Kazatsky and Jack Muller discuss how recent rate volatility has led to higher yields across the municipal curve while credit fundamentals remain largely intact. They explore shifting relative value opportunities, the importance of year-round tax management, the impact of increased issuance on market technicals, and what wealth tax and millionaire tax proposals could mean from a municipal credit perspective. Listen as Eric and Jack examine the key factors influencing today's municipal market and discuss where current conditions may be creating opportunities for long-term investors.

This week, Head of Research Nick Goodall returns to his hometown roots to interview Jemma Scott-Davidson, owner and mortgage advisor at Loan Market. With over 20 years of commercial banking experience before launching her independent advisory firm, Jemma provides an invaluable, boots-on-the-ground temperature check of the winterless north.Moving past the mainstream media's "boom or bust" narratives, Jemma explains why the current environment is actually a return to a "normal" market driven by fundamental life choices. We analyse the distinct activity occurring within the $650,000 to $750,000 sweet spot, expose the pricing standoff affecting properties purchased at the late-2021 peak, and break down the three clear interest rate fixing strategies currently emerging among New Zealand borrowers navigating the post-MPS landscape.This week we discuss:The Whangārei Sweet Spot: Why properties priced between $650,000 and $750,000 are seeing steady, healthy transaction volumes from regular families.The Million-Dollar Value Gap: Navigating the lack of quality stock in the $800,000 to $1,000,000 bracket and why overpriced listings are distorting buyer expectations.The Peak COVID Standoff: Why un-capitulated vendors who bought in late 2021 are stalling market velocity.Three Emerging Fixing Behaviours: 1. The Confident Can-Kickers: Rolling on 6-month fixes to capture short-term savings while waiting for geopolitical oil conflicts to settle. 2. The Long-Term Securers: Locking in 5-year terms to protect fragile household cash flows from further volatility. 3. The Risk Splitters: Tranching debt across 2 and 3-year terms to avoid total structural exposure.Why DTIs are Stalling: Why high bank test rates are capturing debt-to-income limits by default, leaving equity and deposits as the primary hurdles.Innovation in Commercial Lending: Real-world examples of Northland businesses navigating tight cash flows through clever asset diversification and labour hoarding.Sign up for news and insights or contact on LinkedIn, X @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL and email ngoodall@cotality.com or kdavidson@cotality.comThis podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice.

Submissions can feel like a scavenger hunt: PDFs in one place, schedules in another, critical details buried in an email thread, and a clock ticking while you try to meet client expectations. We wanted to dig into what actually helps, not another tool that creates more work. So we sat down with Leah Herman, product manager for CRC's Ready Intel, to talk about how AI-driven insights and automation are reshaping the insurance submission and placement process for retail agents and CRC brokers.We break down what REDY Intel is at a practical level: an intelligence layer embedded across the CRC REDY platform that powers automated clearance, submission data extraction, Risk Insights, and Market Insights. We also get specific about what “data extraction” really means, including pulling underwriting fields like payroll, gross sales, vehicle schedules, and construction details, helping reduce missed information and the endless back-and-forth that slows quotes and binding.Then we go beyond speed. Risk Insights turns extracted fields plus context from the submission email into a summarized risk snapshot, giving brokers a head start on understanding exposures and identifying what is missing. Market Insights adds another layer by analyzing placement trends and carrier appetite to recommend better carrier matches, helping you market smarter and set clearer timelines with clients. Throughout, we come back to the same principle: technology should enhance relationships and specialty knowledge, not replace them.If you want faster clearance, stronger submission quality, and more data-driven placement decisions, listen now.  Visit REDYIndex.com for critical pricing analysis and a snapshot of the marketplace.Do you want to take your career to the next level?

In part 1 of this 2-part series, Amazon experts share Prime Day, AI, TikTok, PPC, image testing, and Helium 10 strategies to help sellers prepare, optimize, and win bigger.   In this special Part 1 of a two-part AM/PM Podcast series, Carrie Miller brings together top Amazon, TikTok Shop, PPC, image optimization, AI, and Helium 10 experts to help sellers prepare for Prime Day. The episode focuses on strategies that can be implemented before the rush, from improving conversion rates and campaign structure to using AI tools for faster execution. The first set of experts dives into practical Prime Day tactics, including using AMC audiences to target higher-converting shoppers, scaling international keyword research with Google Sheets AI and Helium 10, and using AI-assisted workflows to build PPC bulk files. The episode also highlights the importance of main image testing, with strategies from PickFu and AMC One Step showing how sellers can benchmark against competitors, test creative angles, and use SERP simulations to improve click-through rates.   TikTok also plays a major role in this episode. Sellers learn how to validate products with Helium 10's TikTok Hot Videos, use TikTok as a top-of-funnel channel for Amazon Prime Day, and create subtle content that drives inbound interest without relying on overt Amazon calls to action. Experts also discuss protecting margins, avoiding unnecessary over-discounting, and using voice-to-text AI tools like WhisperFlow to speed up daily e-commerce workflows.   The episode closes with advanced strategies around external traffic, listing optimization, Market Tracker 360, hybrid Prime Day deal structures, and AI-powered product briefs. The biggest lesson is clear: Prime Day success is not just about running a discount. It is about preparing early, improving conversion, understanding your market, using data wisely, and applying AI where it saves time and sharpens decision-making. This first part sets the foundation for sellers who want to turn Prime Day traffic into profitable, long-term momentum.   In episode 520 of the AM/PM Podcast, Carrie, Shivali, and guest speakers discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 01:37 - Destaney Wishon: AMC Audience Strategy 05:48 - Ritu Java: AI keyword and PPC Hacks 15:38 - Adrienne Van Nimer: Image Testing Workflow 19:18 - Alina Vlaic: Prime Day, TikTok, and AI tips 26:02 - Michelle Barnum-Smith: TikTok Prime Day Strategy 34:58 - Kamaljit Singh: Main Image Testing Tip 41:11 - Leo Sgovio: External Traffic and Listings Strategy 52:39 - Delaney Del Mundo: Deals and Market Insights
