Will the economy slow or grow this year?To discuss, we have the good fortune to welcome back George Gammon to the program.

Many of them were donorsNew analysis finds federal agencies halted or limited enforcement and prosecution, including many involving companies and individuals with ties to President Donald TrumpRipple, the cryptocurrency company behind XRP, donated $4.9 million — among the largest donation — to Trump's inauguration events. Shortly afterward, the Securities and Exchange Commission withdrew an appeal seeking nearly $2 billion in penalties against the company, settling instead for $125 million.After he and his wife donated $1.8 million to Trump's reelection, Trevor Milton — the CEO of electric vehicle startup Nikola, who was convicted in 2023 of defrauding investors — received a presidential pardon wiping out over $660 million in restitution. Milton's legal team included Attorney General Pam Bondi's brother, Brad Bondi.Amazon was facing an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lawsuit for allegedly discriminating against pregnant workers. After Trump signed an April 2025 executive order directing agencies not to rely on disparate impact analysis — an important tool for proving discrimination — the EEOC then dismissed the case.The report details how Amazon donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund, made another $1 million in-kind donation by streaming the inauguration on Amazon Video, and is backing Trump's $300 million “Golden Ballroom” in the White House's East Wing. The company also announced a deal to stream The Apprentice, resulting in "unspecified" payments to Trump, who starred in and executive-produced the show. The company reportedly also paid $28 million to first lady Melania Trump for a documentary.What's more, Attorney General Pam Bondi worked as a registered lobbyist for Amazon in 2020 and 2021, while Trump ally Brian Ballard lobbied on Amazon's behalf in 2024.Trump tries to reduce CEO pay and halt billions in stock buybacks at defense contractorsTrump threatens to sideline Exxon from Venezuela's oil: 'They're playing too cute'Justice department opens investigation into Jerome Powell as Trump ramps up campaign against Federal ReserveFed chair accuses DoJ of threatening criminal charges over building renovation projects because central bank defied Trump's interest rate demandsGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: MacKenzie Scott is using her $26 billion philanthropy push to rescue organizations in danger after the Trump administration's funding cutsMM: RFK Jr.'s Health Department Is Studying Health Effects of CellphonesNot that there are any doctors there, or that anything they do anymore is science, BUT THIS IS GREATEven if they end up with spurious research that says “your cellphone and wifi will give you ballsack cancer”, it means less phones, less online, and happier humans with human friends and going outside moreAssholiest of the Week (MM):Brian Cornell“That could have been one of my Target team members”.“We have to be the role models that drive change and our voice is important. And we've got to make sure that we represent our company principles, our values, our company purpose on the issues that are important to our teams.”“The eyes of America, and the eyes of the world were on Minneapolis.”“As a Target team, we've huddled, we've consoled, we've witnessed horrific scenes similar to what's playing out now and wept that not enough is changing. And as a team we've vowed to face pain with purpose.”“We've got to stand up and do more”Oh, wait, that's not when ICE shot a woman without due process or outside of every protocol? That was when there was a lot of money in saying “we're for DEI” and every other CEO put out the same statement? Ahhh… maybe one of your board members should say something… Derica Rice flipped on DEI at Disney, probably not himDmitri Stockton flipped on DEI at both Deere and Black & Decker, probably not him…Grace Puma is on the board of Phillips 66 who wants in on Venezuelan oil, probably not her…Christine Leahy is the CEO of CDW who has had 11bn of government contracts in the last decade, and 270m+ last year, so probably not her…David Abney is on the board of Northrup Grumman…Monica Lozano was on Disney… Brian Cornell and Michael Fidelke run the board…That leaves a minority of directors who MIGHT have said something! Bill Ackman DR The woman shot in the face was apparently NOT innocent until proven guilty, or at least Bill can't find a way to get her any money because “her GoFundMe had closed”... also, she's deadAckman needs to get punched in the mouth - no one should care what he thinks about anything, every, at all. He's the worst kind of blowhard - has he ever offered a full throated defense of a blank person? A woman he's not married to who's not on Fox News? Does he ever admit he's wrong, biased, or a fucking hypocrite? Oh, but he says we all are? Shut. Your. Mouth.But Ackman is part of a bigger problem - at this point you are either aiding ICE's tactics, which have crossed fully into unaccountable personal army of the US dictator, or you're not aiding them.

Markets are shifting fast, and the rules that worked yesterday won't necessarily hold up tomorrow.  In Season 6, Episode 9 (EP. 131) of the What Dewey Do? Podcast, the 2026 investing playbook takes center stage. The focus is on what still works, what deserves a second look, and what may no longer belong in a modern portfolio. Key themes include the second wave of AI infrastructure, the rotation beyond the Magnificent Seven, global opportunities outside the U.S., bonds making a real comeback through active management, and where private credit and private equity may fit for qualified investors.  The goal is simple: help listeners position capital with intention instead of reacting to headlines. Press play, take notes, and start shaping a smarter game plan for 2026, one move at a time. Tune in NOW!  Quotes: - Dewey Steffen: "Private credit can be a powerful fixed-income tool, but it comes with liquidity and risk considerations."  - Dewey Steffen: "Private equity isn't for everyone, but established revenue-generating businesses can offer compelling growth.” - Dewey Steffen: "Smart investors focus on what matters, ignore the noise, and position their money intentionally." ➡️ WDD TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@whatdeweydopodcast   ➡️ WDD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatdeweydopodcast   ➡️ WDD Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatdeweydo   ➡️ GLW YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GLWealth   Thanks for watching!

What happens when women stop treating money as taboo — and start using it as power? In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Marcia Dawood, author of Do Good While Doing Well, TEDx speaker, host of The Angel Next Door Podcast to talk about the real story behind women, wealth, and financial confidence — and why we're standing at a turning point. Together, we unpack: How generations of conditioning shaped women's relationship with money Why financial independence is about more than numbers — it's about choice How angel investing is opening doors for women to support women The mindset shift required to move from “money avoidance” to “money ownership” Marcia shares her personal journey into angel investing, breaks down the myths that keep women on the sidelines, and explains how investing — even at a small level — can create meaningful social impact and financial return. This conversation is empowering, practical, and deeply validating for any woman who's ever thought: “I'm not good with money.” (Plot twist: you are.) You'll walk away knowing: Women are far more capable with money than we've been led to believe Access to investing has changed — and it's more available than ever Community and collective action are key to closing the wealth gap You don't need to be rich to invest — you need to be informed Doing good and doing well can absolutely coexist If you're ready to rewrite your money story — and step into financial confidence with curiosity instead of fear — this episode is a must-listen.

Calibration has quickly shifted from a “nice to have” to a critical safety requirement in today's collision industry, but many shop owners still underestimate what it truly demands. How much space does it really take? What are the real costs? And where does liability begin and end?In this episode, Matt Di Francesco sits down with Frank Phillips, a 35-year collision industry veteran with experience at Caliber, Rivian, and ADAS-focused operations, to break down the realities of ADAS calibration. Frank explains why calibration is as much a business decision as it is a technical one, sharing real-world examples of space requirements, production efficiency, and equipment investment. Matt and Frank  also talk about:(04:13) Why increasing business value is a long-term process, not a short-term decision(05:06) How documenting SOPs ahead of time protects value in any transition(06:43) Why exit planning becomes emotional and requires a true leap of faith(09:43) How acting as a trusted partner helps owners gain confidence in their transition(11:00) Why helping owners grow value over time is the most rewarding part of the workConnect With Frank PhillipsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frank-phillips-17b33341/Email: frank.phillips72@gmail.comConnect With Matt DiFrancesco:matt@highliftfin.com(814)201-5855LinkedIn: Matt DiFrancescoLinkedIn: High Lift FinancialFacebook: High Lift Financial Instagram: @high_lift_financialYouTube: @highliftfinancialAbout the guest:Frank Phillips brings more than three decades of experience in the automotive collision industry, shaped by years of working alongside some of the most respected organizations and professionals in the field.

Will AI make growth great again, or just inflate a short-term capital spending boom?Gary Gensler of MIT and CEPR (also a former chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission) unpacks the administration's AI action plan, helps us work out what's happening to export controls, and untangles the deal-making geopolitics of AI hardware. 

Eyes off US roads to understand lithium demand It may have seemed as though 2025 would have been a challenging year for lithium but North American electric vehicle production accounted for only about 10% of the global total, even prior to the expiration of the $7500 subsidy. That's one reason that equities tied to the metal have fared well. Chinese EVs and battery storage, a beneficiary of data center investment, are much more important contributors to the lithium demand story today, while future drivers include drones and robots. Rock discusses how all this translates for lithium demand and touches on the supply outlook where possible project restarts could have meaningful impact on our estimates. We pivot to Matt for a discussion of chemicals more broadly and discuss phosphate, where the demand tailwinds aren't as strong as but where supply constraints are stronger. We even get into common threads between lithium and phosphate.   You may also enjoy listening to the Merrill Perspectives podcast, featuring conversations on the big stories, news and trends affecting your everyday financial life.   "Bank of America" and “BofA Securities” are the marketing names for the global banking businesses and global markets businesses (which includes BofA Global Research) of Bank of America Corporation.

Today's guest has long predicted that widespread systemic change would occur during the 20-teens and 20-20s -- as America and much of the rest of the world experience a replacement of the old order and the birthpangs of a new one.All of us who have lived through this period and epecially the year 2025 that just ended probably find it hard to argue that massive change -- culturally, politically, geo-strategically and economically -- is indeed now afoot.So how much more of this change still lies ahead?How disruptive will it likely be?And what kind of new system does it look like we'll have on the other side?For perspective, we have the privilege of welcoming back to the program demographer Neil Howe, co-author of the seminal book "The Fourth Turning" and its sequel "The Fourth Turning Is Here".WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

Financial Clarity for Doctors tackles some student loan updates with hosts Rachelle Vanderzanden and Corey Janoff.  On December 10th, the Department of Education proposed a settlement in the case challenging the SAVE plan and agreeing to dismantle the payment plan (pending court approval, so maybe not officially dead).  What does that mean for the seven million borrowers still enrolled in the plan?  Next steps for SAVE plan participants:  Most folks will likely need to apply to move into a new income-driven payment plan or move into a Standard repayment plan.  This means recertifying income and enrolling in one of the remaining plans.  Currently, those options are IBR, ICR, or PAYE with the new RAP plan being rolled out this coming summer.  If the goal is to work toward Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), you will likely want to enroll in the plan that equals the lowest payment.  When you reach 120 months of qualifying employment, you can look into the “Buyback” program to see if you can make payments from your time in forbearance.  If the goal is not PSLF, you can explore lots of options, payment plans, and even refinancing.  Although move slowly with refinancing!  Moving to a private bank has some downsides.  As with everything, your student loan approach should be determined based on your goals and needs.  Any strategy (including loan repayment) depends on the specifics of your situation.  If needed, consult with a professional to try to find the best strategy for your loans.  They were an investment in your future!   But we don't want them hanging over your head forever.  For more financial planning tips from Corey and Rachelle, find them on social media!  LinkedIn: @CoreyJanoff and @RachelleVanderzanden; Instagram: @CoreyJanoff and @VanderzandenRachelle; and Twitter: @CoreyJanoffCFP and @RachelleFinance     Discussions in this show should not be construed as specific recommendations or investment advice.

Claiming your retirement income in the wrong order can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars over your lifetime. In this episode, Adam Olson, CFP®, breaks down the optimal sequence for pulling from your 401(k), starting your pension, and claiming Social Security — and why the order you choose dramatically impacts your taxes, income, and long-term security.Most retirees make the same avoidable mistakes:• Taking Social Security too early• Delaying 401(k) withdrawals until it triggers huge RMDs• Starting pension income before planning tax brackets• Stacking income sources at the worst possible timesUsing real client examples, Adam explains:Why 401(k) first often delivers massive tax savingsWhen to turn on pension income for maximum stabilityHow delaying Social Security to age 70 unlocks the most lifetime valueHow proper sequencing protects against longevity risk, tax shock, and market volatilityWhy strategic timing—not just savings—determines retirement successThis episode gives you the framework to coordinate all three income sources so you get more lifetime income, pay less in taxes, and retire with far more confidence.

Suddenly, nuclear energy has become the belle of the ball when it comes to future electrical production expectations.After decades of demonization, this energy-dense, cost-effective, always-on solution -- statistically proven to be the safest in the world in terms of lives lost -- is now looked at as the future of green energy and a key component to winning the AI race in the long term.It also offers the promise of even cheaper, safer and more distributed energy as new technical solutions are being released around the world -- including small modular reactors, molten-salt technologies, and the use of less radioactive fuels like thorium.To help us understand what we can count on in the future from the coming nuclear energy boom -- as well as what we likely can't -- we're fortunate to speak today with Kirk Sorensen, President and Chief Technologist at Flibe Energy, who for decades has been a leading advocate for nuclear reactor innovation and thorium-based solutions.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

In this episode, Sharran breaks down the single strategy the wealthiest individuals use to access liquidity without selling assets or paying capital gains taxes.You'll learn how securities-based lending works, why borrowing is not a taxable event, and how billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and others use their portfolios as personal banks.
