    14. America’s Unfixable Economy: Are We Headed for Another Great Depression? w/Economist Lauren Saidel-Baker

    The next great depression is coming faster than many of us realize, but this time, it won’t be because of the stock market, the real estate market, bad banking practices, or anything we’ve seen before. Instead, the government will be the one to drive us into a depression, and only those who are watching the economic signs will see it coming. If you’re reading this right now, you’re one of the lucky ones, and we’ll explain why. Lauren Saidel-Baker, economist at ITR Economics, has been growing concerned about where our economy is headed. We money-printed our way out of what should have been a recession and continued to do so whenever the economy began to feel even slightly weak. But what’s coming over the next five years is almost inevitable. Even the new Trump administration, with its talks of budget slashing and cost saving, might not even dent the growing forces pushing us into the unavoidable. In today’s show, Lauren explains in detail why her firm is predicting a 2030 depression, what will cause it, whether we can avoid it, and what the economy will look like leading up to it. There’s good news, though, both in the long and short term, but you’ll need to be prepared to take advantage of the enormous opportunities to come. Insights from today’s episode:  Why Lauren believes we could be headed into a great depression in 2030 The tremendous investing opportunities you must prepare for over the next five years Home price and interest rate predictions and whether we’ll ever hit three percent rates again The government’s growing debt and whether lowering rates could help us pay it off The unemployment squeeze hurting employers and causing labor costs to rise  Inflation forecasts and why we may not be out of the woods yet  — ITR Economics: https://itreconomics.com/  ITR Economics YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@itreconomics  Apply here to be a guest on AJ's podcast! https://form.asana.com/?k=TGU88eU0bFTFW1iHcckuTA&d=1203571084143207

  3. 12. How to Build Wealth from Nothing in 2025 (The 3 Wealth Stages)

    JAN 9

    12. How to Build Wealth from Nothing in 2025 (The 3 Wealth Stages)

    This is precisely how to build wealth in 2025. Most people (mistakenly) believe that they just need to work “hard” enough to become wealthy—this isn’t the truth. In fact, this will prolong your journey to financial freedom and millionaire status. After going from digging ditches for extra money to becoming the leader of multiple seven-, eight-, and nine-figure businesses, I’ve learned that there’s a simple framework to building wealth.  Today, I’m sharing this three-stage wealth-creating framework with you, plus how to skip over the second stage so you can build wealth even faster. This isn’t rocket science, and anyone who has the ability to leverage their time and resources correctly can become a millionaire and achieve their wildest financial dreams (I’m living proof of this). As we enter a new economic cycle, this will be even more important to understand, so get this right! Plus, I’m outlining what I did wrong (and right) in 2024 and the most challenging lessons I learned that I’m taking into 2025 to build my businesses even bigger. I’m giving you all my hard-earned knowledge for free in hopes that you can learn a little faster than I did.   Insights from today’s episode:  How to build wealth in 2025 (even if you’re coming from nothing) The new economic “cycle” and why we’re excited about this fundamental shift  The three “stages” of wealth creation and how to skip from stage one to stage three How the rich use their “resources” to massively multiply their wealth  The biggest business lessons I learned from 2024 and how to use them in your life — AJ Osborne Podcast Episode 7 - How I Acquired a Failing Business and Tripled Sales in Weeks - https://www.ajosborne.com/podcasts/aj-osborne-podcast/episodes/2148890193

  4. 11. “Don't Believe Them!” Trump’s Top Economist on the Fed, Interest Rates, & DOGE w/Andrew Busch

    11. “Don't Believe Them!” Trump’s Top Economist on the Fed, Interest Rates, & DOGE w/Andrew Busch

    Are interest rates really going to fall in 2025? Could DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) actually clean up the federal government? Will tariffs cause more harm to the US than we think? One of the most qualified people to address these issues is former US Chief Market Intelligence Officer Andrew Busch. And he’s got a lot to share about the future in today’s episode. Andrew worked under the Trump administration from 2017 to 2019. He’s also been an economic advisor during the McCain US Presidential Campaign, now running his own firm performing economic and policy research. He’s one of the most experienced economists we’ve ever had the chance to talk to, and we talk about a lot.   We’re discussing everything from the Fed’s big mistake to the developing “power crisis” that could massively impact data centers and manufacturing. We touch on Trump’s proposed tariffs, their effects on our trade partners, and why you should not listen to the news when they give interest rate predictions. Plus, how will commercial real estate fare over the next few years? Things could be looking optimistic!    Insights from today’s episode:  The Fed’s colossal interest rate mistake and whether or not they’re making up for it Why Americans are fed up with the federal government and whether DOGE could change things Good news for commercial real estate and why we should see improvements soon Trump’s 2025 plan: trade, taxes, tariffs, and other massive changes to the government  The looming energy crisis and the surprising advantage the US holds over the rest of the world Andrew’s Website: https://andrewbusch.com/ Andrew’s Book, “World Event Trading”: https://www.amazon.com/World-Event-Trading-Analyze-Headlines/dp/0470106778  American Action Forum: https://www.americanactionforum.org/

  5. 10. Why “Smart Money” is Hoarding Cash and Preparing for 2025 w/M.C. Laubscher

    10. Why “Smart Money” is Hoarding Cash and Preparing for 2025 w/M.C. Laubscher

    How does “smart money” always seem to be ahead of the curve? The world’s most prominent investors, like Warren Buffett, are slowly selling off their assets and moving their positions into cash. Do they know something that we don’t? What are they preparing for in 2025? And is this next economic cycle going to help or hurt average investors? Instead of speculating, M.C. Laubscher, alternative wealth strategist and founder of Cashflow Ninja, will teach you how to think like the wealthy. M.C. has noticed more of the “smart money” moving their assets into cash—but why? As with any market cycle, you can make money in the peaks and the valleys, so does now signal a great time to get out of your investments? Not necessarily. I’m talking to M.C. about what drives these economic cycles so you can use the same strategies as the ultra-rich to build your wealth in ANY market conditions. M.C. shares what to pay attention to in this cycle, what to do with your cash when waiting on the sidelines, and why the wealthy aren’t scared but are “preparing” for what’s about to come.    Insights from today’s episode:  Why “smart money” is selling off their assets (slowly) and moving into cash Understanding economic cycles and how to make money at the top and the bottom Economic “wild cards” that investors MUST be aware of, especially in 2025  Artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and whether or not we’re at the peak  How freezing during market volatility will cost you in the long run Can anyone actually time the market?    Cashflow Ninja: https://cashflowninja.com/  Get Wealthy for Sure: https://producerswealth.mykajabi.com/get-wealthy-for-sure  ShadowStats: https://www.shadowstats.com/  Truflation: https://truflation.com/

    8. I’m Finally Sharing My Political Views – The Impact of U.S. Policy on Your Wealth and Investments

    In this episode, I’m opening up about my political views for the first time and discussing how U.S. policies shape wealth building, personal finance, and investment strategy. I’ll cover everything from the effects of inflation on generational wealth to the economic divides between states like California and Texas. My goal is to give you a clear look at the economic realities that impact anyone focused on growing wealth, whether you’re an investor, entrepreneur, or just trying to make informed financial decisions. Here’s what I’ll be diving into: Why federal vs. state policies matter for investors How inflation affects wealth differently across generations Key differences in landlord and business costs between California and Texas Practical advice on finding growth opportunities in today’s financial landscape I hope you’ll find these insights useful as you navigate the complexities of the current economy and make your own financial decisions.
