Today on BullCast, we’re rolling out the red carpet for Brad McMillan, Chief Economist at Commonwealth Financial Network! Before we put him in the economic hot seat, we take some time to get to know Brad beyond the charts and forecasts, including favorite bands, comfort food, and all the important hard-hitting journalism you’ve come to expect from BullCast.
Then, it’s game on. We tackle some of the biggest questions facing investors and the economy today: Are mega tech companies carrying the entire market on their backs? Are we still in the early innings of the AI boom, or are we farther along than we think? What changes could be coming to the Federal Reserve under new Chair Kevin Warsh? And what happens if the U.S. dollar keeps losing strength?
We also dive into recession indicators, slowing job growth, the rising national debt, and why debt interest payments are becoming a bigger conversation than ever before. Brad breaks it all down in a way that’s insightful, understandable, and honestly... pretty fun.
This is one of those episodes where you’ll laugh a little, learn a lot, and probably leave with a few things to think about. Don’t miss it.

What if you could bet on the future? In this episode of BullCast, we explore the wild world of prediction markets, where people are putting money on everything from elections and Fed moves to celebrity news and global events.

From TikTok hype to ethical headaches, we get into the controversy and the uneasy feeling that maybe some things in life should not become a market in the first place. Because once you can bet on almost anything, the big question becomes: should you?

We kick things off with a fun look at some of the most balanced teams in sports history, from the NBA to the MLB, to show what it looks like when different strengths work together.

Last episode we talked about mutual funds, and today we’re tackling something you hear all the time in investing: ETFs, also known as Exchange-Traded Funds. In this episode, we’ll break down what an ETF is, how it’s similar to a mutual fund, how it’s different, and when you might use one versus the other. If you’ve ever wondered which option makes the most sense for your investing goals, this “Back to Basics” conversation will help make it simple.

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are subject to market volatility, including the risks of their underlying investments. They are not individually redeemable from the fund and are bought and sold at the current market price, which may be above or below their net asset value
Investments in target-date funds are subject to the risks of their underlying holdings. The year in the fund name refers to the approximate year (the target date) when an investor in the fund would retire and leave the workforce. The fund will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative investments based on its respective target date. The performance of an investment in a target-date fund is not guaranteed at any time, including on or after the target date.
Investments are subject to risk, including the loss of principal. Some investments are not suitable for all investors, and there is no guarantee that any investing goal will be met. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Talk to your financial advisor before making any investing decisions.
Today on BullCast, we’re talking about one of the most common investment tools out there: mutual funds. Since mutual funds are made up of a collection of investments, our pop culture list today features our favorite ensemble shows because it’s not about one star, it’s about how the whole cast works together. We’ll then cover what mutual funds are, why they’re so popular, the main types, and how investors can earn money from them, so you can feel more confident understanding what you own and why it matters.

529 plans are getting more flexible in 2026, and on this episode of BullCast we break down what families need to know before making education funding decisions. We kick things off with a fun list of real college classes that sound fake (but aren't) to get everyone excited about all the different paths education can take. Then we dive into the updated 529 rules, including the increase to the K–12 annual withdrawal limit and why 529 funds can now be used in more ways than many people realize, so you can feel confident saving smarter and planning for whatever comes next.

The fees, expenses, and features of 529 plans can vary from state to state. 529 plans involve investment risk, including the possible loss of funds. There is no guarantee that an education-funding goal will be met. In order to be federally tax free, earnings must be used to pay for qualified education expenses. The earnings portion of a nonqualified withdrawal will be subject to ordinary income tax at the recipient’s marginal rate and subject to a 10 percent penalty. By investing in a plan outside your state of residence, you may lose any state tax benefits. 529 plans are subject to enrollment, maintenance, and administration/management fees and expenses.

If you’ve watched or read the news lately, you’ve seen numerous strikes happening; most notably from the WGA (writers) and SAG-AFTRA (actors). In the show, we’ll talk about why the strikes are happening, what Hollywood is trying to accomplish, the specific strike rules, and what it means for movie-goers like us. But first, as always, we will start the show with our list of the top shows (and movie) that were impacted by the 2007 writers’ strike. Then, we’ll strike up a conversation about actors – and writers – pushing back against producers. With fears of their likeness being used via AI, as well as demanding fair compensation for the rising tide of streaming-service deals, actors are taking a stand. And while this stand (or strike) is warranted, it does have an impact on those who enjoy going to the movies or watching a show at home. Unlike the actors and writers, don’t miss the show! It’s a good one…

This week, BullCast is tackling a popular yet polarizing topic. We’re bringing back our Great Debate format where we’ll see Katie and Cort giving their hot takes on the financial guru Dave Ramsey. We’ll start the show with our list of the best Foo Fighters songs because, as we all know, Dave Grohl is the best Dave. Then, we’ll sound the debate bell and begin the showdown. We’ll go through the pros and cons of the Dave Ramsey approach, with Katie being against Dave’s teachings and Cort being pro Dave. We’ll cover Ramsey’s focus on debt reduction and the debt snowball, his emphasis on saving, his lack of nuance in investment advice, and much more. While our team is not necessarily against Dave Ramsey, we believe that one size does not fit all, and every individual is different when it comes to financial planning.

Join us for this week’s episode all about pension plans. Katie and Cam will kick off the show with the list of the most heartwarming movies about retirement. Then, we’ll dive right into the topic of retirement plans. Nowadays when you hear retirement plan you probably think of 401(k)s. They are well known, but they are not the only “game in town” so to speak. Pensions are not as popular as they used to be, but they are still around along with many other types of retirement plans that we have mentioned in the past. What differentiates a pension plan from a defined contribution plan? In the show, we’ll answer that question and discuss public vs. private pensions, the risks associated with having a company invest your retirement funds (as opposed to making the investment decisions for yourself), and the key differences between pensions and 401(k)s. At a fundamental level, what plans are available to you will play a massive role in what retirement will look like for you, so make sure you know your options, know the differences, and take advantage.

No one enjoys talking about death, let alone funeral planning, but it is immensely important to discuss before it is too late. But don’t worry – we’ll try to keep this week’s show upbeat. Join us on this week’s BullCast as we lay out a step-by-step guide for funeral planning. We’ll start the show with our list of the saddest movie deaths of all time (we know, it’s depressing.) Then, we’ll jump into the idea of planning ahead. What is the cost of a funeral? Does a funeral plan need to be complex? Should the reception reflect the personality of the deceased? There is so much that goes into the final farewell of a loved one, and it can be extremely tough to plan this out in the midst of grief. That’s why it is important to talk about it now and put a plan in place that is easy to follow when the time comes.

Mental accounting often leads people to make irrational investment decisions and behave in detrimental ways, so we are breaking down the different advantages and disadvantages. We’ll start with our list of top psychiatrists portrayed in movies and tv shows, then we’ll discuss mental accounting bias, examples of mental accounting, and overall illogical decisions with finances.

This week we are furthering our discussion on risk with respect to your investments. We’ll start the show with our list of movie characters who took big risks that paid off. Then, we’ll discuss inflation rate risk, portfolio diversification, time in the market versus timing the market, and dollar-cost averaging. As with every episode of BullCast, investment education is imperative. Avoid investments that you don’t fully understand, rely on recommendations from a professional (your fiduciary partner), don’t put all of your eggs in one basket, and remember: “A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.”

If you’re tuning in for an episode about the famous board game, we are sorry to disappoint. But don’t fret, we have something even better in store for you. Join us for this week’s show as we discuss the financial costs of risk and uncertainty. We’ll kick off the show with our list of the best movie and tv characters who are actuaries (or risk managers.) Then, we’ll get right down to the nitty-gritty, starting with the basics of risk. What is it, really? What are the types of financial risk? And why does portfolio diversification play such a strong role in avoiding risk? As a wise man once said, “If you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.”

In what we are dubbing our self-help episode, we’re posing the question, “what is going well?” Inspired by motivational speaker and author, Greg Bell, this question is a lot tougher to answer than its adverse counterpart. We’ll kick off the episode with our list of the most negative characters in pop culture. Then, Katie and Cam will dive into the idea of negativity driving human behavior. Why is it so easy to talk about what is going wrong in our lives? Why is it cathartic to play the victim card? And why is it so difficult to look on the bright side and smell the roses? Don’t miss this episode as we discuss the importance of recognizing the source of goodness in our lives and appreciating the daily blessings that surround us, no matter our circumstances.

Inflation is one of those buzzwords that we see every time we log on to Facebook or turn on the news – especially in today’s climate. But inflation is a lot more than just “something being really expensive.” Join us as we uncover the idea of too many dollars chasing too few goods and services. We’ll give you a list of crazy facts about inflation, define in layman’s terms what inflation is, talk about what drives it, and discuss who benefits from it. Ronald Reagan couldn’t have said it any better when he stated, “inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber, and as deadly as a hitman.”

Adulthood can be hard, especially for those fresh out of college looking to start a career. In today’s episode, we are discussing “adulting” and the crucial financial literacy lessons that must accompany this transition in order to achieve a life of success. We’ll kick off the show with our list of the top movies about adulting and finding your direction in life. Then, we’ll discuss the things you can do to “officially” become an adult with your finances. We’ll wrap the show with an in-depth discussion on financial literacy and why it is so important to teach kids at a young age. It can be difficult to ask for help, especially for a 20-something-year old trying to make it in the world, but it’s vital that every person takes the initiative to self-educate and grow their financial knowledge … or else they will be starting off on the wrong foot and creating a path of difficulties in life. Build a fulfilling life and become financially literate!

You’ve always heard that first impressions matter, but this goes far beyond dressing to impress, shaking hands, and maintaining eye contact – especially for small business owners. This week, Cameron will be talking about effective branding and how it’s more than just having a good logo. What can be boiled down to “a promise you make (and keep) to your customers,” branding involves authenticity, time, putting your best foot forward, perfecting your culture, and so much more. Join the entire BullCast team as they take a deep dive into this intangible yet imperative concept. We’ll be answering questions such as: What is branding and why does it matter? How does branding differentiate from marketing? What is a brand “voice” and how can you harness yours? As Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos once said, “your brand is what others say about you when you’re not in the room.”

Aloha from Hawaii! On this week’s show, we are expanding our conversation on “sharpening the saw.” Our team has just returned from hosting a two-day leadership symposium in Maui, and we were chomping at the bit to further discuss the importance of lifelong learning. Your personal and professional life should focus on evolving, adapting, and pursuing constant improvement. If you don’t strive for greatness, you are settling for mediocrity which is one of life’s greatest roadblocks. Join us as we chat about going from good to great, working smarter (not harder), and avoiding the dreaded “but we’ve always done it this way” excuse. The great Ross Geller couldn’t have summed it up any better: “PIVOT!”

We’ll touch on the concept of bottlenecks in the supply chain as well as supply and demand.

What is the greatest asset you have? YOU, of course! In today’s show, we are defining an idiom we often hear in the industry: “sharpening your saw.” No, we’re not talking about shop class from 10th grade. We’re talking about building the best version of yourself, and that starts with preserving and enhancing your own unique skills. Whether that be taking an online course, training for a marathon, or focusing on self-care, sharpening your saw comes in a variety of flavors. We’ll start the episode with our list of the greatest movie meltdowns. Then, we’ll uncover the different ways you can sharpen your saw including physical, mental, spiritual, and interpersonal. We all have our own unique blade and only you can decide how to sharpen it.

It’s difficult to go about your day without hearing the words “cryptocurrency” or “bitcoin.” What seemed like a trend a few years ago has proven quite the opposite. While many pieces to the crypto puzzle are vague and volatile, it’s important to understand how deep this rabbit hole goes. Join Cort, Cam, and guest Andy Wilson as we take a deep dive into this fascinating and futuristic topic. Andy will help us break down what blockchain is, what makes something decentralized, how an exchange differs from a wallet, and everything in between. This episode is by no means a recommendation to invest in crypto, but we thought it was important to define the crypto terms we hear on a daily basis.

It’s a new year which means fresh BullCast content for our listeners! When you hear the phrase “penny-wise and pound-foolish,” you may think it’s referring to the infamous clown that haunted Derry, Maine, but that’s far from its meaning. First, we’ll kick off the episode with our top Stephen King movies in honor of Pennywise. Then, we’ll break down the titular, British idiom. Do you scrimp and save on small purchases (like gasoline and groceries), but make big purchases you can’t truly afford (like a new BMW or fancy house?) What are you saving for? What are your priorities? Join us this week as we discuss reducing expenses, researching interest-free payment plans, and melting away regrets by making sound financial decisions.

Small talk tends to consist of three talking points: the weather, your job, and gas prices. People often get in an uproar about the soaring prices of fuel, but for a majority of adult Americans, gasoline is an unavoidable necessity. Even so, it is a necessity that makes up a relatively small portion of our budget. So, why the gnashing of teeth? Join us this week as we discuss who sets gas prices, what you’re actually paying for when you fill up your tank, and why Katie always waits until she’s on ‘E’ before she starts looking for a pump. We’ll also list out the top 10 gas stations in America and why brands play a large role when it comes to looking for a pit stop. Is the pump worth the squeeze? Tune in to find out!

Time: the indefinite continued progress of existence of events in the past, present, and future. Sounds trippy, right? Time is something that is not quite on our side, and the older we get the faster it seems to go. Unlike money, time can never be recovered or made up and we have no idea when we will draw our last breath. But before we get any deeper, we promise this is not a morbid episode! Rather, it’s one that poses important questions we all must ask ourselves. Join Katie and Cort as they discuss the value of your time and why everyone must find balance between doing things yourself (like cooking a meal) and paying someone else to do a task (like getting takeout.) When you consider the value of your time when creating money and spending money, you might make smarter financial decisions. And that’s what this show is all about!

In the last episode we talked about investing in clothes, so what’s the next logical topic to cover? Investing in furniture, of course! The idea for this episode came from seeing all of the college move-in day pictures online. We think it’s a timeless topic that everyone can relate to. Join us as we discuss the important things to consider when buying furniture – like durability, cost-effectiveness, and style. When it comes to most things in life, you get what you pay for, and furniture is no exception. Furniture is worth the investment, like clothes, and it’s a necessity for most people. Don’t miss this show as we cover mistakes people make when buying furniture, knowing yourself and what you can afford, and taking advantage of OPM (other people’s money.)

Clothes: something we all need (unless you want to get arrested.) Some view garments as a fashion statement while others view them as a practicality, serving as protection from the elements. Whatever your view of clothes might be, they’re something we all need. In today’s show, we are discussing how clothes can “make” a person, impacting the way you feel and behave. We’ll then jump right into the investment aspect and how it can be a rewarding experience. Do your outfits provide a return on investment, or are they cheaply made and disposable? For many, buying clothes is an emotional experience that “sparks joy” or relieves stress. Yes, quality typically means expensive. But if investing in nice clothes makes you feel better, makes you comfortable, and you get more use out of them, your wallet and closet will eventually thank you.

Viable businesses often start as hobbies or “side hustles” as we like to call them. In fact, some of the largest companies in the world, like Apple, Amazon, and Facebook, started in a humble garage or dorm room. In today’s episode, we discuss the importance of learning how to make money doing what you love, and the dedication it takes to turn a side hustle into a bonafide business. We’ll be talking about the steps it takes to start a business, how to set expectations, and making sure you are protected. Yes, there are a lot of risks with making this big jump, but the opportunities are there if you are smart, determined, and strategic. This transition isn’t for everyone, but it’s the entrepreneurial spirit that drives America, right? Tune in and hear our pros and cons of starting a business the right way.

Who doesn’t love pets? They are one of the top gifts given and can increase opportunities for exercising, getting outdoors, socializing, and, most importantly, they are great companions. But like most things in life, there are a few downsides. Most notably, they can be expensive. We’ll start the show with our list of the best pets in movies and tv shows.

So, we’ve walked you through the moment you say “I do,” and we’ve talked in-depth about merging finances. But we need to take a step back and talk about prenups. The act of marriage is a beautiful thing but it carries a tremendous amount of legal significance. Join Cort and Katie as they break down the craziest prenups, list the pros and cons of this contract, discuss celebrity prenups, and talk about who needs one. Contrary to popular belief, they are not solely for the rich and famous. This binding contract between two people creates transparency and sets expectations for a couple when it comes to protecting assets. No, it’s not sexy. And yes, prenups get a bad rap. But it can be used to have important discussions and ensure your finances are handled correctly during and after marriage.

An age-old question that we’ve all been asked, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” suggests our childhood passions always turn into our adult occupations. But we all know this is not the case; otherwise, the world would only have police officers, firefighters, astronauts, and paleontologists. The truth is, life is a maze of doors where some are open, some are closed, and some take you to places you’d never imagine. Today’s episode centers around “Boomerang Kids” – children who come back home after college – and why this generation of young adults has a difficult time finding or committing to a career. We’ll break down some impressive statistics about career changes in today’s society and why getting a degree is not always the answer. With the rise of workforce development programs and the destigmatization of trade schools, it’s more important than ever to teach our kids that there are other paths to consider. Join us as we talk soft skills vs. hard skills, taking a “gap” year, high-paying jobs that don’t require a four-year degree, plus much more!

As we approach Father’s Day, we wanted to dedicate an entire episode to the patriarchs in our lives. We are breaking down the history of this holiday and bringing back Twitter Nuggs, reading some of the funniest tweets all dads can relate to.

We’ll also talk about how much athletes bring in and why so many go broke, despite the big paychecks. It all starts with financial literacy – which is why we do this show – and it is so important to educate our youth on how to handle finances so that they can create a successful future.

Millions of Americans find themselves in credit card debt, yet many of these same “spending victims” say that they have no idea how they got in such a financial bind. Today, we are introducing the concept of Behavioral Finance by discussing the rationalization of spending money. It’s all about the head vs. the heart, and there’s actually an enormous overlap between psychology and economics. We invite you to join us as we break down why we rationalize spending, why “keeping up with the Joneses” drives so many of us, and how to harness your willpower when window shopping.

It’s no shock that our nation has turned into a subscription-based market. The United States spends a combined 2 billion on subscriptions every year, and that trend is showing no sign of slowing down. For our younger listeners, Netflix may first come to mind when thinking about the dawn of subscription services. But the truth is, subscriptions have been around since the milkman! In this episode, we will discuss the evolution of subscriptions, what drives this trend, and how to avoid paying for services you don’t even use anymore. Tune in, audit your subscriptions, and learn to say “no!” to the solicitations for services you don’t need.

The Tooth Fairy has been hard at work for over 100 years, but the legend of exchanging money for teeth dates back to the time of the Vikings. That’s right, we’re talking about teeth today. “What the heck does this have to do with finance?” you may be asking yourself. Well, did you know the going rate of a tooth in 1965 was 10 cents? And that number has grown to a whopping $4 per tooth! Yep, even fairies are affected by inflation. Join us for today’s episode as we talk about the many ways you can teach your kids about money when they lose their teeth.

This week, we are continuing our conversation about your digital footprint. In this deeper dive into your online presence, we are discussing cybersecurity, cyber-attacks, and the measures you can take to protect yourself. We’ll then take a somewhat darker turn and talk about what happens to your online accounts after you die. We know “digital death” is not something everyone wants to talk about, but we promise it’s important and, of course, we give it our fun, BullCast spin.

Your digital footprint is similar to your actual footprints – think about when you walk through the house with muddy shoes. Your trail of data follows you around (unless you wipe off your “digital” shoes.) Your social media/online presence is rarely forgotten, so we’ll start the episode with some real-life social media horror stories. Then, we’ll dive into what your digital footprint really is, how it works, and how you can safely manage your personal information. It all starts with educating yourself (and your children) about the real impact of keeping your information private, and how having a digital footprint is not all bad (hello, job interview!) Tune in for this fun episode about the incredibly useful but all-knowing interwebs.

This week, we’re seeing (and hearing) double! Cort’s brother, Byron Winsett, is our special guest. As an Assistant District Attorney in Shelby County, Byron is the chief prosecutor of the Public Corruption and Economic Crimes Unit of the District Attorney’s office, which basically means he prosecutes a lot of financial, or “white-collar,” crimes, which just so happens to be exactly what we will be talking about. In the show, we’ll break down white-collar crimes, where the term came from, what the motivation for committing these crimes is, and everything in between. This is a fun episode where we have a candid chat with Byron about credit card fraud, insider trading, bribery, forgery, tax evasion, and so much more.

The fees, expenses, and features of 529 plans can vary from state to state. 529 plans involve investment risk, including the possible loss of funds. There is no guarantee that a college-funding goal will be met. In order to be federally tax-free, earnings must be used to pay for qualified higher education expenses. The earnings portion of a nonqualified withdrawal will be subject to ordinary income tax at the recipient’s marginal rate and subject to a 10-percent penalty. By investing in a plan outside your state of residence, you may lose any state tax benefits. 529 plans are subject to enrollment, maintenance, and administration/management fees and expenses.
Last week, we talked about the importance of putting away money early for retirement. This week, we are taking a deeper dive into the topic.

Join us as we hit on the six biggest mistakes made with retirement planning to help you better plot out a successful future. And remember: stick with a plan – it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

It’s New Year’s Eve and a fresh start is right around the corner. Not only are we wrapping up the insanity of 2020, but we are also wrapping up Season 1 of BullCast (thank you for tuning in for 30 episodes!)

Life is uncomfortable at times, and it’s important to branch out, take a chance, and avoid regretting those missed opportunities. After all, life is short. Happy New Year, y’all!

In this episode, we’ll also talk about where the tradition came from, why we make resolutions, and why – for the most part – they fail.

Not everything in life is black or white. It would be easy to make choices if everything came down to the good choice and the bad choice, but rarely are any of life’s toughest questions that simple. Many people have been conditioned to believe that “debt” is a bad word and that you should strive for a life that is debt-free. Is all debt bad? Is there such a thing as “good debt?” In this episode, we’re breaking down “debt.” We are going to get real about the fact that for some people, debt is a necessity. But is it necessarily EVIL? Well, as Cort likes to say, it depends. Katie and Cort will be talking about the most common forms of debt, and how certain debt can (obviously) lead to a lot of stress, but also how debt can actually help us accomplish our goals and play a crucial role in our lives. Join us as we dig into some really cool statistics and leave you with some tips on how to remain in control.
