The U.S. economy is doing something that seems almost impossible: growing while shedding jobs. In this week's episode, Jake McClure digs into one of the strangest economic environments in decades. GDP is rising, consumers are still spending, and productivity is climbing, yet payrolls are shrinking and the housing market remains stuck in neutral.
What is really driving the economy today? Jake explores the surprising role of artificial intelligence, the massive wave of baby boomer retirements, the ongoing transfer of wealth between generations, and why productivity may be becoming more important than headcount. He also tackles the uncertainty surrounding energy markets, Middle East conflicts, interest rates, inflation, and what all of it could mean for investors and consumers.
If you've ever wondered how unemployment can fall while jobs disappear, why companies are spending billions on AI infrastructure, or whether the economy is stronger than the headlines suggest, this episode connects the dots. The numbers tell an interesting story. The implications may be even more fascinating.
Listen in for a big-picture look at an economy that refuses to follow the old playbook.

This week's episode tackles two topics that hit close to home: your wallet and your peace of mind.
Jake McClure dives into why inflation may be far from finished, despite recent reports suggesting price pressures are easing. From Federal Reserve decisions and interest rates to tariffs, oil prices, and the hidden warning signs buried in producer price data, he explains why today's good news could still lead to tomorrow's higher prices.
Along the way, Jake shifts gears to address a growing threat affecting people across the country: scams. He breaks down some of the latest schemes being reported by clients, including fake prize winnings, employment scams, romance scams, tax scams, and AI-powered fraud. More importantly, he explains the red flags to watch for, what to do if you become a victim, and why shame is often a scammer's greatest weapon.
If you've ever wondered why your air conditioner suddenly costs more, why the market reacts so dramatically to a Fed meeting, or why nobody should ever pay a bill with gift cards, this episode connects the dots. Equal parts economics lesson, consumer protection guide, and reality check, it's a conversation designed to help you keep more of your money and avoid giving it away to either inflation or fraud.

What happens when Texas decides Wall Street needs a little competition? In this episode, Jake McClure digs into the surprising story behind the Texas Stock Exchange and why it may have far less to do with trading stocks and far more to do with where economic power is headed in America.
Along the way, Jake pulls back the curtain on how stock exchanges actually work, why companies choose the NYSE or NASDAQ, and what market makers, circuit breakers, and listing standards really do behind the scenes. He also explores why major players like BlackRock and Citadel are backing the new exchange, how Texas has become a magnet for businesses and investment capital, and whether the financial center of gravity is slowly shifting south.
If you've ever wondered what a stock exchange actually does, why companies go public, or why a brand-new exchange could matter, this episode offers a fascinating look at the machinery that powers modern capitalism. Pull up a chair on Y'all Street and join the conversation about money, markets, competition, and the future of American business.

What can a rickety one-lane bridge, a shopping cart, and a carton of eggs teach us about economic growth?
In this episode, a 19-day journey through Costa Rica sparks a fascinating exploration of what really makes nations prosper. From dirt roads and rolling brownouts to clean public spaces and strong community pride, this conversation looks beyond headlines and economic jargon to uncover the forces that drive long-term success.
Along the way, Jake examines why infrastructure matters, why trust may be an economy's most valuable asset, and why two communities with the same resources can produce dramatically different outcomes. The discussion weaves from Costa Rica to Denmark, Japan, Detroit, San Francisco, and beyond, connecting everything from healthcare systems and taxation to AI, inflation, and the surprisingly complicated economics of an $8 dozen eggs.
At its core, this episode explores a simple question with enormous implications: Are thriving economies built by the roads we pave, or by the choices we make every day?

What do Shakespeare, a box of tennis balls, medieval archers, spice traders, coffee shops, and your retirement account have in common? More than you might think.
This week, Jake McClure takes listeners on a fascinating journey from the battlefields of medieval France to the trading floors of Wall Street, uncovering the surprising story of how stock markets were born. Along the way, you'll learn how Henry V unintentionally helped create the foundations of modern ownership, why we call them "companies" and "shares," how Amsterdam became home to the world's first stock exchange, and why coffee houses once served as the Bloomberg terminals of their day.
Jake also explores the rise of the Dutch East India Company, the origins of speculation, futures contracts, and short selling, the lessons of the South Sea Bubble, and how a small agreement signed under a buttonwood tree helped launch American finance. Perhaps most importantly, he explains why the stock market is not just a place to trade stocks, but one of the most successful systems ever created for connecting ideas, capital, and opportunity.
If you've ever wondered where Wall Street came from, why ownership works the way it does, or how centuries-old innovations still shape your investments today, this episode delivers a history lesson that's anything but boring. It's a story filled with kings, merchants, fortunes, disasters, and a surprisingly powerful idea that changed the world.

Before stocks, before modern banks, and long before Wall Street, someone was lending silver for beer and expecting to be paid back with interest. This week, Jake McClure unpacks the remarkable story of the bond market's evolution, from ancient clay tablets to today's financial system. Along the way, he explores the origins of interest, the rise of Venetian banking, the connection between bonds and paper money, and why trust may be the most valuable asset in any economy. History buffs, market enthusiasts, and the merely curious will all find something intriguing in this journey through the financial world's oldest promises.

This week’s episode takes a step back from the daily market noise and asks a bigger question: why do some economies, businesses, and even entire civilizations survive shocks while others quietly fall apart?
Jake McClure walks through a fascinating mix of fresh data and deep history, starting with the latest PCE report showing rising income, spending, and savings, all while inflation continues to hum along. On the surface, things look steady. Underneath, the real story is resilience and what it takes to keep moving forward when conditions are less than ideal.
From there, the conversation shifts into a much broader perspective. Think ancient Egypt storing grain for lean years, Rome building infrastructure as a hidden safety net, and the Dutch turning warehouses into a national superpower. Along the way, you will hear how timber shortages sparked the coal revolution, how railroads reshaped entire market cycles, and why something as simple as storage can determine whether a system bends or breaks.
It all ties back to one idea that shows up again and again: reserves matter. Whether it is a family savings account, a company balance sheet, or a nation’s energy supply, the ability to absorb a shock often decides who survives the next downturn and who does not.
If you enjoy connecting today’s economic headlines with the bigger story of how we got here, this episode delivers. It is part market update, part history lesson, and part reminder that the most important preparation usually happens long before anyone sees the crisis coming.

If you think the Federal Reserve is boring, this episode might change your mind.
Jake McClure takes you inside the Fed’s latest meeting and introduces the man now holding the wheel, Kevin Warsh. From his crisis-tested track record during the Great Recession to his very different views on how much control the Fed should really have, this isn’t just a policy discussion. It’s a look at how the rules of the game might be getting rewritten.
Along the way, the conversation breaks down what the Fed actually does, why interest rates matter more than most people realize, and why holding steady today might mean higher rates tomorrow. You will hear why inflation is proving stubborn, why the tools the Fed uses may not fully address today’s supply-driven pressures, and why expectations for rate cuts could be off the mark.
It doesn’t stop there. The episode also connects the dots between monetary policy and the real world, from rising production costs to global energy disruptions and what ongoing damage to oil infrastructure could mean for prices ahead. The takeaway is clear: even if the headlines calm down, the road forward may still be a little bumpy.
Smart, timely, and packed with perspective, this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach will leave you with a better sense of where the economy may be headed and why the Fed’s “new playbook” matters more than you might think.

If you have ever wondered why a jump at the gas pump seems to sneak its way into just about everything else you buy, this episode connects the dots with sharp insight and a bit of humor. Jake walks through how an energy shock ripples through the economy, turning higher fuel costs into rising prices for food, transportation, and just about anything that needs to be grown, built, or shipped.
Along the way, he dives into fresh CPI and PPI data, explaining why inflation can look tame at the checkout line while quietly building pressure behind the scenes. The conversation moves from supply chains stretched too thin, to the surprising role of storage reserves, to how markets try to smooth out shocks that cannot simply be undone.
There are also a few memorable detours, including a python trying to digest a pig as a stand‑in for the economy, a look back at negative oil prices, and a practical discussion of how businesses and consumers react when costs rise enough to change behavior. By the end, you get a clear sense of what may come next and why expectations matter just as much as the data.
It is equal parts economics lesson and storytelling, and if you want to better understand what is driving prices and where things may be headed, this one is worth your time.

What do ancient Roman street collectors, modern fertilizer plants, and global food prices all have in common? More than you might think. This week’s episode of the Personal Wealth Coach dives into one of the least glamorous but most essential parts of the global economy: fertilizer.
Starting with a surprisingly entertaining walk through history, from manure and urine in ancient civilizations to the chemistry breakthroughs that made modern agriculture possible, the conversation quickly turns to today’s reality. With a major share of the world’s fertilizer supply moving through the Strait of Hormuz, current disruptions are setting the stage for a ripple effect that reaches far beyond the farm.
From rising grain and beef prices to potential food shortages in parts of the world, Jake connects the dots between fertilizer, energy, geopolitics, and inflation. It is a story that begins with soil and ends with global markets, showing just how tightly everything is tied together.
It may not be the prettiest topic, but it just might be one of the most important.

Gold has a reputation as the ultimate safe haven, the asset you run to when everything else starts to fall apart. But what if that story doesn’t quite hold up anymore?
In this episode, Jake McClure takes a deep dive into the modern gold market and turns a few long‑held assumptions on their head. He walks through how gold moved from the backbone of global currency to something shaped largely by central banks, cultural demand, and investor sentiment. Along the way, he explores how countries like India and China now drive the majority of demand, why gold often falls during economic stress instead of rising, and what history really shows about its role in times of crisis.
From the collapse of the gold standard to the surprising economics behind disasters, inflation, and even asteroid mining, this conversation connects centuries of monetary history to the way markets actually behave today. It raises a simple but uncomfortable question. If gold is supposed to protect you when things go wrong, why does it so often do the opposite?
If you have ever wondered whether gold is truly a hedge, a store of value, or just a story we keep retelling, this episode is worth your time.

This week’s episode takes a deeper dive into something we all use every day but rarely stop to think about, energy. Not the vague kind that powers coffee conversations, but the real, measurable, borderline nerdy stuff that determines why your electricity bills look the way they do and why entire industries rise and fall.
Jake walks through how energy actually works, from old standbys like coal and oil to the rapid rise of natural gas, wind, and solar. Along the way, he breaks down concepts like energy density, BTUs, and why some fuels deliver more bang for the buck than others. It turns out the shift away from coal has less to do with politics and a lot more to do with simple economics.
The conversation explores how innovation really happens. High prices spark change, new technology disrupts the old, and no amount of resistance can hold it back for long. From the fracking boom that made natural gas dominant to the surprising cost advantages now emerging in solar and wind, the episode connects the dots between energy markets, technological breakthroughs, and the future of electricity itself.
There is also a candid look at what comes next, including the limits of renewables, the challenge of energy storage, and why lithium, rare earths, and infrastructure will shape the next chapter just as much as sunlight and wind. Even electric vehicles make their way into the discussion as a real-world example of how these trends are already showing up in everyday life.
If you have ever wondered why the world is moving away from certain energy sources, or what might replace them next, this episode pulls back the curtain and explains it all in a way that is both practical and surprisingly entertaining.

Is inflation back, or are we just reading the tea leaves the wrong way? In this episode, Jake McClure takes on one of the most talked-about questions in finance right now and breaks it down in a way that actually makes sense. He walks through what inflation really is, why rising prices do not always mean lasting inflation, and how recent spikes in food and energy are showing up in everyday life, from the gas pump to the grocery aisle.Along the way, he digs into what is driving today’s price pressures, including supply disruptions, geopolitical conflicts, and the sometimes misleading way we measure inflation by stripping out the very things we feel most. He also takes a sharp turn into the role of human behavior, explaining how expectations can quietly push prices higher and why moments like the pandemic toilet paper shortage are more than just odd memories. They are case studies in how belief alone can move markets.
The episode wraps with a reality check on some of the scarier headlines making the rounds, like rising household debt, and reminds listeners why context matters more than clickbait. If you have ever wondered whether the economy is as shaky as it sounds or if there is more beneath the surface, this conversation will give you a clearer, and maybe more grounded, perspective.

Is the economy booming, breaking, or just behaving badly? In this episode, Jake McClure makes the case that the answer is yes to all of the above. He walks through a housing market where prices are falling even as sales pick up, explains why high interest rates are doing more than just scaring off buyers, and digs into the strange reality of a commercial real estate slump happening alongside a full‑blown construction surge in data centers, factories, and power infrastructure.
Along the way, the conversation connects the dots between AI’s growing appetite for chips, rising costs for everything from computers to chicken sandwiches, and what a shrinking labor pool means for wages, automation, and productivity. You will also hear how consumer behavior is shifting, from McDonald’s struggling to win back value‑focused customers to appliance sales quietly signaling weakness in housing.
If that is not enough contradiction for one hour, the episode also dives into the stock market’s resilience in the face of gloomy headlines, what is really driving corporate earnings, and why negative sentiment can sometimes be a positive sign. On the policy side, Jake breaks down the latest tariff rulings from the U.S. Court of International Trade and what that uncertainty means for businesses trying to plan ahead.
It is a wide‑ranging look at an economy that refuses to fit into a simple narrative, full of mixed signals, shifting trends, and a few historical parallels that suggest we have seen this kind of chaos before. If you enjoy making sense of messy data, unexpected connections, and big picture thinking, this one is worth your time.

The economy is technically growing, the job market is holding together, and yet almost everyone feels uneasy. In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure unpacks why the economic story we are living through feels so disorienting.
Jake starts with the latest Federal Reserve meeting and explains why a “rates unchanged” headline misses the real story. A divided board, a new Fed chair, and a quiet return to quantitative easing are reshaping interest rates, inflation expectations, and the future of mortgages. He breaks down what the Fed’s continued sale of mortgage backed securities means for housing prices and why mortgage rates have stayed stubbornly high longer than most people expected.
From there, the lens widens to the global stage. With the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed, the UAE walking away from OPEC, and Russia’s oil infrastructure under sustained attack, energy markets are under pressure in ways that are already feeding inflation. Jake connects these global events to what consumers see at the gas pump and the grocery store.
The episode also tackles housing supply, demographics, and why today’s economy looks strong on paper but feels uncomfortable in real life. If you are trying to understand why confidence is low while spending remains high, and why everything feels uncertain even without a clear recession, this conversation brings the missing context together in one place.

Jake McClure takes listeners on a fast moving, surprisingly entertaining tour of economic history, breaking down the difference between slow, steady incremental growth and those rare, world changing bursts of exponential innovation.

In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure takes you on a fast moving tour through supply chains under pressure and why moments of economic pain tend to produce the biggest technological leaps.

If you are tired of doom and gloom takes on the economy and want to understand why today’s mess might be tomorrow’s breakthrough, this episode is for you.This episode was recorded on April 17, 2026.If you would like to contact us, please send an email to us at advisingteam@tpwc.com.

Why does the economy look great on paper but feel weirdly off in real life? This episode of The Personal Wealth Coach dives straight into that disconnect, unpacking why low unemployment can still mean a tough job market and how a flashy 30 percent market return can leave investors wondering if they missed something. Along the way, Jake takes on labor force participation, retiring baby boomers, AI driven productivity, and why the numbers you hear on the news are often technically true and emotionally misleading.
From headline contradictions to the humor hidden in statistics, this conversation blends economics, behavioral finance, and real world investing wisdom. You will hear why timing the market rarely works, how overchoice can quietly sabotage good decisions, and why ownership in the economy matters more than short term fear. Add in trade shocks, recession chatter, inflation pressure, and even a detour through handmade knives and farmer’s markets, and you get an episode that makes complex economics feel surprisingly human. If you have ever wondered why the math says everything is fine while your gut says otherwise, this one is for you.

What do World War I button shortages, carriage makers, coal furnaces, and today’s AI boom all have in common? More than you think.
In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure takes listeners on a surprisingly entertaining tour through history to show how war, scarcity, and crisis push technology forward faster than anyone expects. From freshwater clams vanishing because divers left to make munitions, to blacksmiths becoming auto mechanics, to coal quietly disappearing from American basements, this episode connects forgotten headlines to the economic shifts happening right now.
Along the way, Jake explores why governments struggle to stop technological change, how entire industries either adapt or vanish, and why losing old skills like cursive writing or manual transmissions feels emotional even when the new tools make more sense. The conversation loops effortlessly from the Model T to heat pumps, from Studebaker to modern private equity, and from coal bins to calculators.
If you enjoy big-picture thinking, historical parallels, and practical insight into how disruption really works, this episode will change how you look at today’s economy and maybe how you prepare for what comes next.

If you have ever wondered whether a recession is lurking around the corner, this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach will be your new favorite deep dive into economic reality. Jake takes the big, headline grabbing question of the year and actually answers it, breaking down what a recession is, why the definition keeps changing, and why the stock market is absolutely not the economy.
You will hear how oil price spikes, tariffs, wars, winter storms, and shaky private credit markets all collide to shape the outlook for 2026. Jake also digs into the surprising positives that recessions bring, from clearing out unproductive companies to pushing innovation forward at warp speed. The future of warehouses filled with robots, automated logistics, and AI that may or may not be replacing your favorite call center staff all make an appearance.
More importantly, Jake lays out the practical steps every person should take to prepare for whatever the economy throws our way. Think emergency reserves, smart investing habits, and the discipline to avoid credit card traps. Think clarity instead of panic.
It is informative, it is entertaining, and it may even make you feel better about the next downturn. If you want a clear headed economic perspective with humor, history, and a few Shakespeare quotes thrown in for good measure, press play.

The Personal Wealth Coach takes you straight into one of the most important global chokepoints you never think about until the world gets loud about it. In this episode, you will dive into the turmoil surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, the jump in oil prices, and the surprising ways a narrow stretch of water can rattle global markets, inflation, and even your next fill up. Jake lays out how the Iranian conflict compares to past oil shocks, why speculation keeps pushing prices around, and what it means when millions of barrels of energy get stuck in transit.
You will hear how rising oil costs ripple into everything from corporate earnings to the price of plastic bricks and why the balance between inflation and the labor market has the Federal Reserve in a tight spot.

In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake dives into the kind of power that keeps your lights on, your AC running, your AI awake, and your economy functioning. Energy prices, global conflicts, grids, solar fields, private power plants, and even cattle cycles all make an appearance.
Jake breaks down why per person energy use has been falling since 2018, how AI data centers are both straining and strengthening the grid, and why private enterprise quietly runs most of America's power system. He also explains how natural gas became cheaper than picking coal up off the ground, why heat pumps are the unexpected heroes of modern efficiency, and how new tech like fusion, micro nuclear, and space based solar might reshape everything again.
If you enjoy smart explanations wrapped in humor, real stories, and the occasional analogy involving old pickup trucks and medieval hog markets, you are in the right place. This episode makes the energy transition understandable, practical, and maybe even optimistic. No doomscrolling required.

In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure pulls off the rare double feature deep dive, equal parts economic thriller and private equity reality check.
First, Jake unpacks the surprisingly dramatic backstory behind the 1974 Trade Act, complete with gold standard intrigue, secret French operations, Charles de Gaulle’s long memory, and the logic chain that somehow connects D-Day deception to Nixon’s gold shock to President Trump’s new tariffs. If you have ever wondered why tariffs keep making headlines or why the Supreme Court keeps telling presidents "you cannot do that," this history-packed segment finally makes the modern story click.
Then the episode shifts into the world of private equity. Jake breaks down what it really is, why institutions like Yale and Harvard once championed it, why big firms such as Blue Owl are wrestling with liquidity problems, and how AI has upended the value of certain PE investments almost overnight. He explains the hidden risks behind the glossy sales pitches and what business owners should understand before assuming they are missing out.
It is a smart, accessible, and occasionally humorous look at two complex financial topics that matter far more than most people realize.
If you like your economics with real history, practical insight, and a storyteller who can make gold reserves sound exciting, this episode will hook you.

What happens when the Supreme Court pulls the plug on sweeping global tariffs overnight? Prices shift, markets twitch, lawsuits pile up, and Jake McClure grabs the mic to make sense of the chaos. In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake breaks down the Court’s ruling with clarity, humor, and just enough economic nerdery to make you feel smarter without feeling bored.
He walks through why tariffs are really just taxes with a fancy name, how uncertainty in boardrooms has been freezing investment, and why removing these tariffs might actually kick the economy into higher gear. You’ll hear about inflation bulges, refund nightmares, FedEx tariff bills (yes, really), and the ripple effects that could shape both prices and politics heading into November.
If you want a clear-eyed, entertaining look at what this ruling means for your wallet, the economy, and the year ahead, this episode is your guide.

If you have ever wondered how the government could miscount a million jobs, why your favorite economist keeps muttering about seasonal adjustments, or why buying a house now feels like trying to catch smoke with a butterfly net, this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach is for you.
Jake dives into the strange and surprising world behind the numbers we hear every day, from the Labor Department’s massive job revision that missed by seven digits, to the weird reality of record breaking retail sales that somehow look flat once they are seasonally adjusted. He unpacks the Federal Reserve’s concerns, the rise of AI reshaping small business hiring, and the reason our memories of the pandemic are statistically, and hilariously, inaccurate.
We also take a clear and honest look at the current housing market, where sales are plunging, prices are stubborn, builders are struggling, and the construction workforce has shifted in a big way. Add in the spike in student loan delinquencies, changing household debt, and the surge in online buying, and you get a fast moving tour of the forces reshaping the American economy in real time.
It is nerdy, it is funny, it is unexpectedly human, and it just might change the way you look at the headlines.

Take a front row seat as Jake McClure unpacks the strange reality of China’s post‑pandemic economy. Prices are falling, wages are shrinking, factories are slashing pay, and electric cars are cheaper every month. It sounds like good news until you see what is actually happening underneath the surface.
In this episode, Jake explores why deflation has taken hold, how China’s real estate engine stalled after driving the economy for two decades, and why businesses are undercutting each other by selling below their own cost. You will hear stories from the factory floor, insights from Bloomberg’s multi‑year price study, and a clear explanation of how gold markets in China and India reacted instantly to news from the Federal Reserve.
Jake also digs into China’s rising authoritarianism, the purge within its military ranks, growing tension around Taiwan, and what all this means for global markets and for the United States. He wraps up with practical guidance on staying disciplined, diversified, and grounded in a world filled with tariffs, political friction, and unpredictable economic swings.
If you want a thoughtful, witty, and highly engaging exploration of the forces shaping our world, this episode is a must‑listen.

Is artificial intelligence the next big bubble or the surprising force quietly rebuilding America’s energy backbone? In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure takes listeners inside the frenzy surrounding AI and the massive wave of investment behind it. He explains what today’s AI really is, how large language models reached their limits faster than expected, and why the companies pouring billions into the field are not just chasing hype. They are building data centers, expanding power generation, and reshaping infrastructure in ways that make this moment very different from the dot com era.
Jake also breaks down how the overwhelming amount of AI generated content on the internet is changing the landscape for the models themselves. He compares the promise people once saw in the early internet to the real transformation that came decades later, setting the stage for what AI might become. Alongside the technology story, he covers the week’s major economic developments, including the Federal Reserve’s steady hand, a subtle shift that looks a lot like quantitative easing, and the nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair. The market’s reaction tells its own story, especially the sharp drop in silver prices after the announcement.
It all comes together in a conversation that blends economics, technology, history, and a bit of humor. If you want a clear, thoughtful, and entertaining look at what is really happening in AI and the broader economy, this episode is well worth a listen.

When military threats hit the news, markets rarely wait for answers. They move on fear.
In this week’s episode, Jake McClure looks at how markets have responded to war scares and real conflicts throughout history, from Greenland’s recent market shock to Ukraine, Iraq, 9/11, Pearl Harbor, and even World War I. The pattern is surprisingly consistent and often misunderstood.
This is not about politics or predicting wars. It is about understanding why uncertainty causes investors to sell, why the biggest declines often happen before the first shot is fired, and how long-term investors can learn to separate emotion from evidence.
If the news ever makes you question your portfolio, this episode offers something better than opinions: perspective.

Take a trip through economic history with Jake McClure as he uncovers the surprising roots of central bank independence. This episode starts in the 1600s with Isaac Newton, not as the scientist you learned about in school, but as the relentless crime fighter who cleaned up Britain’s broken currency and helped shape the foundations of modern monetary stability.
From there, Jake walks you through how Newton’s ideas still matter today. You will hear how political interference wrecked Turkey’s currency with inflation hitting levels that sound almost fictional, why interest rates soared around the globe after the pandemic, and how confidence in money can evaporate faster than it forms.
He also breaks down why the Federal Reserve’s independence is so important, how political tension can threaten that stability, and why the world is buying so much gold that the United States is exporting billions of dollars worth of it. Along the way you will get sharp insights, historical twists, and a few cleverly placed jokes.
If you enjoy big ideas told through real stories, this episode gives you a fresh look at Isaac Newton, global monetary chaos, and the fragile psychology of currency. It is educational. It is witty. It may even change the way you think about money.

Think you know why U.S. healthcare costs are sky-high and life expectancy lags behind? Think again. In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure dives into the seductive danger of “obvious” conclusions and why they often lead us astray. From eye-catching global health graphs to the hidden role of obesity, we explore how missing data can flip the narrative on its head.
But that’s just the start. Jake connects these insights to investing, revealing why herd mentality and surface-level trends, whether in crypto or Tesla, can cost you big. Along the way, you’ll hear about behavioral biases, the pitfalls of growth investing, and why Sir Isaac Newton (yes, that Newton) learned the hard way about chasing hype.
If you want sharper thinking for your money and your mindset, this episode is your wake-up call. Because in economics and investing, the easiest answer is usually the wrong one.

Strap in for a whirlwind tour through one of the most unpredictable years in recent economic history. From record-breaking government shutdowns and surprise bank failures to crypto hacks that rattled global markets, this episode dives deep into the headlines that mattered and the ones that were just noise.
We’ll unpack the Genius Act and the first real steps toward crypto regulation, explore how North Korean hackers stole billions, and look at why two small bank failures sent ripples through the financial system. Inflation cooled dramatically, unemployment crept upward, and the Federal Reserve pulled off three rate cuts in the final quarter. But that is just the surface.
2025 was also the year AI truly arrived, reshaping productivity and rewriting the rules of work. What does that mean for hiring, wages, and the future of innovation? We’ll connect the dots between tariffs, rare earths, and John Templeton’s timeless wisdom to figure out where the markets stand and where they might be headed in 2026. Spoiler: optimism is in the air, but so is uncertainty.
If you want sharp insights with a dash of humor, a clear-eyed look at what’s next, and a few surprises along the way, this is your must-listen episode. Understanding the chaos of last year might just be the key to thriving in the year ahead.

Is the economy feeling festive or just hungover from the holidays? In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure takes you behind the headlines to decode what is really happening. We break down the surprisingly strong GDP growth, why consumer spending surged even as sentiment slumped, and what the latest PCE numbers reveal about inflation’s stubborn streak.
But that is just the start. Jake unpacks the Federal Reserve’s recent rate cuts and explains how they are juggling growth, inflation, and the government’s ballooning interest payments, now consuming one out of every three tax dollars. You will hear why online holiday shopping soared while in-person retail slipped, how AI-driven productivity is reshaping the labor market, and why tariffs and tax receipts matter more than you think.
If you have ever wondered how all these moving parts such as government spending, trade balances, and private investment fit together, this episode connects the dots with clarity, insight, and a touch of humor. Whether you are curious about the late-stage boom cycle or what the Fed’s next move might mean for your wallet, this conversation delivers the big picture without the jargon. Tune in and discover what the numbers are really telling us about the economy’s next chapter.

Think you know inflation? Think again. In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, we unwrap the quirks behind the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE), and why this month’s numbers are stranger than your uncle’s Christmas sweater. From skipped reports and zeroed-out housing data to the baffling concept of “owner’s equivalent rent,” we dig into what these metrics really mean and why averages can be as misleading as having one foot in boiling water and the other in dry ice.
We explore why the latest CPI release might be more fiction than fact, how housing dominates inflation calculations even though mortgages do not count, and why seasonal price swings make your winter coat look like an economic anomaly. You will learn the sticky truth about rent and why it rarely goes down, plus what past shocks from bird flu to the Ukraine war teach us about price trends.
If you have ever wondered why economists argue over letters like CPI and PCE, or why your grocery bill feels like the real inflation gauge, this episode is your ticket to nerd out before the holiday dinner table debate. Spoiler: You will leave with insights that might just put everyone to sleep faster than eggnog.

This week on The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake unpacks a rare moment of drama at the Federal Reserve—the first split vote in years. Why did some members push for a bigger rate cut while others wanted no change at all? And why did rates drop even though inflation is still above target? We’ll dig into the politics creeping into monetary policy, the surprising role of AI in skewing job numbers, and what these shifts mean for the economy. If you’ve ever wondered why economists fear deflation more than inflation or why the Fed’s two mandates don’t include “making the economy grow,” this episode connects the dots in a way that’s both insightful and entertaining.
But that’s just the beginning. Jake takes us on a fascinating journey through demographics, exploring America’s baby shortage and its ripple effects on labor markets, real estate, and global influence. From historical parallels with Viking-era Scandinavia to modern examples like Japan and Germany, you’ll learn why shrinking populations aren’t always bad news and why they might even make individuals wealthier. Along the way, we’ll tackle questions about per capita GDP, policy experiments to boost birth rates, and what a declining population means for housing prices and urban infrastructure. If you like economics served with humor, history, and big-picture thinking, this episode is a must-listen.

Why did prices stay flat for twenty years, then suddenly surge and refuse to come back down? In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, we take a deep dive into the puzzle of persistent inflation and uncover the forces that keep it hanging around. We’ll explore how decades of free trade kept costs low, why pandemic supply chain chaos flipped the script, and how stimulus checks and rehiring frenzies reshaped the labor market. From housing booms and wage hikes to tariffs, tech wars, and the chip shortage, we connect the dots on why inflation became a habit instead of a hiccup.
You’ll also hear why interest rates aren’t the silver bullet, what the Federal Reserve is really prioritizing, and how confidence and uncertainty drive pricing decisions in boardrooms across America. If you’ve ever wondered why your grocery bill feels permanent, why electronics prices are spiking, or why global trade friction matters to your wallet, this episode delivers clarity with a healthy dose of humor.

What happens when Uncle Sam starts acting like a venture capitalist? In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure dives into a surprising trend: governments taking direct stakes in private companies. From Intel’s $8.9 billion boost under the CHIPS Act to golden shares in U.S. Steel, we explore what this means for innovation, profitability, and the long-term health of the economy. Is this smart strategy or creeping nationalization? Along the way, Jake unpacks historical parallels like Amtrak and Fannie Mae, contrasts U.S. moves with sovereign wealth funds, and asks the big question: can a government ever be a good shareholder? If you care about markets, policy, and the future of capitalism, this episode is your wake-up call, with a side of Thanksgiving gratitude.

Markets don’t just move, they mess with our minds. In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure takes you inside the psychology of financial chaos and explains why even smart investors make irrational choices when things get turbulent. From loss aversion and herd mentality to recency bias and framing, we unpack the mental traps that lead to panic selling and FOMO buying.
But it’s not all theory. Jake connects these behaviors to real-world trends: skyrocketing tariffs, shifting holiday spending, and the inflationary ripple effect of consumer confidence. We explore why crypto’s deep dive isn’t just about technology, why gold still glitters for some, and why diversification remains the unsung hero of long-term success.
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your cool when headlines scream “crisis,” this episode is your roadmap. Learn why discipline beats speculation, why defining your financial purpose matters more than chasing the next big thing, and how to build strategies that thrive even when the world feels upside down.
Because in the middle of chaos, calm isn’t just a mindset, it’s a strategy.

In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, we dive into a paradox that defines progress: how crisis fuels creativity. Host Jake McClure explores the surprising upside of uncertainty, revealing how the pandemic era, despite its chaos, ignited a wave of innovation across medicine, technology, and entrepreneurship.
From the warp-speed development of mRNA vaccines and CRISPR gene editing to AI-driven molecular design and remote patient monitoring, we unpack how stress accelerated breakthroughs that are now reshaping life expectancy and global healthcare. You’ll hear how the pandemic’s urgency led to unprecedented collaboration between governments, universities, and private companies, fast-tracking research that would’ve otherwise taken decades.
But it’s not just medicine. We also examine the economic ripple effects: the record-breaking surge in new business formations, the role of regulatory clarity in fostering innovation, and how discomfort and disruption often serve as the breeding ground for transformative ideas.
Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a policy wonk, or just curious about how adversity can become a launchpad for progress, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at the silver linings of stress and why the future might be brighter than we think.

What happens when Washington goes quiet? It’s not peace—it’s a price tag. In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, we explore the hidden costs of government inaction and why silence can ripple through every corner of the economy. From shutdowns that knock billions off GDP to laws that promise financial flexibility but stall in regulatory limbo, the gap between “passed” and “practical” is widening—and it’s hitting investors hard.
Missing jobs reports and inflation data aren’t just headlines; they’re the signals markets rely on. When those signals go dark, uncertainty takes over. And it doesn’t stop there. Catch-up contributions that were supposed to go Roth? Still waiting on rules. 529 rollovers into IRAs? Great idea—if anyone knew how to implement it. Even fiduciary standards, debated for nearly two decades, remain a moving target. The result? A financial system where the law says “go,” but the infrastructure says “not yet.”
If you’ve ever wondered why planning for retirement or college feels like navigating a maze blindfolded, this episode pulls back the curtain. We’ll unpack the quirks, delays, and unintended consequences that make silence one of the most expensive sounds in finance—and share what you can do to stay ahead when the rules aren’t written yet.

Think a quarter-point rate cut is the big story? Think again. In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, we peel back the headlines to uncover the real shockwave: the end of quantitative tightening and a subtle shift that could reshape the financial landscape.

Along the way, we revisit the wild ride from the Great Recession to the pandemic stimulus, explore the AI boom versus the dot-com bubble, and tackle the timeless question: how do you thrive in uncertainty? Spoiler: it’s not magic—it’s strategy.
If you’ve ever wondered what really underpins our economy (and why it matters to your retirement, your home, and your paycheck), this episode is your crash course—with a side of humor and history. Tune in, because understanding this stuff isn’t just smart—it’s essential.

Think you know what capitalism really means? Or how socialism differs from communism? In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure dives deep into the misunderstood world of economic systems. From the roots of tribalism and feudalism to modern mixed economies, we explore why pure capitalism or communism doesn’t exist, how government guardrails shape markets, and why economics isn’t truly a science. Along the way, we tackle ghost cultures, quirky property rights, and the surprising ways family life mirrors communism. You’ll hear why history doesn’t repeat—but rhymes—and how cultural habits like QWERTY keyboards and piano keys influence our economic thinking. Plus, we’ll uncover why attorneys are the immune system of capitalism, why free markets aren’t really free, and what happens when Taco Bell wins the “restaurant wars.” If you’ve ever wondered how philosophy, psychology, and politics collide in shaping our economy, this episode will challenge your assumptions and make you rethink everything you thought you knew about money and markets.

Why do some economies soar while others stall? In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure unpacks the Nobel Prize-winning ideas shaping growth theory today. We explore why property rights, intellectual ownership, and competition are the foundation of progress—and why “creative destruction” is essential for innovation.
Through vivid examples like AI, insulin breakthroughs, and the decline of coal, we reveal how history—from China’s technological rise and fall to America’s solar struggles—offers lessons for the future. If you care about technology, economics, and the policies that drive prosperity, this episode will challenge your assumptions and spark new ideas.

From the Supreme Court showdown over presidential tariff powers and its $180 billion implications, to China’s rare earth gambit and the ripple effects on global trade, we unpack the uncertainty shaping markets.

This week’s episode of The Personal Wealth Coach takes you on a whirlwind tour of the economy’s biggest storylines — from a government shutdown wrapped in partisan finger-pointing, to the surprising rise of accidental landlords reshaping real estate, to why your avocado just got cheaper. We’ll dig into tariffs on everything from tomatoes to Hollywood blockbusters, explore how labor strikes and wage battles are reshaping industries, and uncover the strange places where Republicans and Democrats actually agree.
It’s a mix of shutdown drama, trade wars, and produce politics — all stitched together with an economist’s eye and just enough wit to make sense of the madness. If you’ve ever wondered how a tomato farm in Mexico, a UPS strike, and a Hollywood movie set all connect back to your wallet, this episode’s for you.

This week on The Personal Wealth Coach, we trade our usual market openers for a deep dive into Argentina’s wild economic experiment under President Javier Milei. From 240% inflation to dramatic austerity cuts, and from IMF loans to soybean diplomacy, we unravel how one country’s struggle ripples across global trade—from U.S. farmers to China’s supply chains.
Along the way, we explore why free trade is easier said than done, how tariffs are reshaping industries, and why housing and GDP numbers in the U.S. are flashing both optimism and warning signs. It’s a story of economics, politics, and a touch of Shakespearean drama—all tied into the choices shaping your financial future.

Markets may be riding high, but the story underneath is a lot more complicated. In this week’s episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake dives into the Fed’s latest rate cut, the strange split between large-cap growth and mid-cap value, and why long-term interest rates keep rising even as short-term ones fall. From oil prices sliding to mortgage rates staying stubbornly high, the picture isn’t as straightforward as the headlines suggest.
But it’s not all doom and gloom—retail sales are up (thanks, used cars), business formation is booming, and there are hints that today’s bitter stew of stagflation fears and housing market woes could simmer into tomorrow’s growth. Along the way, Jake unpacks the Fed’s dual mandate, explains why banks still close their doors early, and shows how policy shifts ripple through jobs, housing, and the real economy.
If you’re curious about what’s really happening beneath the noise of tariffs, politics, and press spin—and you like your economics served with a side of wit—this episode is for you.

Markets climbing, jobs revising, and prices rising—this week’s episode of The Personal Wealth Coach is loaded with more twists than a Wall Street chart. Jake breaks down the latest on the S&P 500, bond yields, oil, and an avalanche of fresh data: CPI, PPI, job revisions, unemployment claims, and inflation’s stubborn grip on everyday costs. Along the way, we look at trucking companies shutting down, tariff whiplash, and why lumber, steel, and even bananas are caught in the economic crossfire.
It’s a classic double-stuffed poop sandwich: a heavy serving of bad news in the middle, wrapped in just enough good bread to keep you coming back for another bite. From rising rents and wage stagnation to whispers of stagflation, the outlook isn’t pretty—but there’s a bright side. Innovation is booming, from small-scale manufacturing to breakthroughs in healthcare and AI, offering real potential for growth even as the data looks grim.
Equal parts insight, data, and dry humor, this episode shows how all the pieces fit together and why today’s turbulence might just set the stage for tomorrow’s opportunities.

The economy is acting strange—and that’s putting it lightly. In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure unpacks the hidden stories behind jobs, markets, and money. From shifting labor trends to unpredictable trade moves, he digs into what’s really driving today’s financial headlines and why it all feels just a little… off.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. Beneath the noise, innovation is bubbling up, technology is reshaping the workplace, and long-term opportunities may be closer than they appear. Along the way, Jake weaves in history, humor, and perspective that make sense of the chaos and reveal patterns most people miss.
Expect insights that challenge assumptions, stories that connect the dots between politics and economics, and just enough wit to keep even the wonkiest topics fresh and engaging.

This week on The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure connects the dots between markets, policy, and the people shaping both. He unpacks the S&P 500’s record-setting highs, the tug-of-war in mid-cap value stocks, and what Treasury yields and oil prices are really signaling beneath the headlines. From there, he turns to the big economic story in Washington: the nomination of EJ Antoni to head the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the uncertain future of Fed Governor Lisa Cook, and how both highlight the uneasy mix of politics and economics. With sharp humor and a historian’s eye, Jake explores the value of intellectual property, the long-running debate over flat vs. progressive taxation, and why economics might be better understood as anthropology measured in money. Whether you tune in for clarity on the markets, thoughtful takes on leadership at the Fed, or just to hear why yachts and toilets both matter in tax policy, this episode delivers insight with wit and perspective you won’t find anywhere else.

Ever wondered why taxes have been around for 5,000 years—and why they still manage to confuse, infuriate, and sometimes even build civilizations? In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure takes us on a sweeping journey from the grain stores of ancient Egypt and Sumerian beer tributes to Rome’s sales taxes, China’s early income taxes, and the sparks that lit the American Revolution. Along the way, we explore how governments have used (and abused) taxation, why the power to tax is the power to destroy, and what makes a “good” tax versus a “bad” one.
But it’s not just history—we connect those lessons to today’s economy. You’ll hear about this week’s market movements, from the S&P 500’s careful tiptoe upward to a stronger surge in value stocks, softer bond yields after the Fed’s latest comments, and oil’s unexpected rebound. We’ll also dig into the modern debate over tariffs, export taxes, and the uncertainty they create for businesses and investors alike.
This episode blends market updates, economic insight, and fascinating stories from the long history of taxation—reminding us that while no one loves paying taxes, they’ve shaped the very fabric of our economies and freedoms. If you’ve ever asked, “Why do we do it this way?” or “What happens when we change the rules?”, this is the conversation you don’t want to miss.

From the shifting tides of the S&P 500 to the salt flats of ancient Phoenicia, Jake McClure of The Personal Wealth Coach blends fresh market insights with a deep dive into the economic forces that have shaped civilizations. This week, you’ll get the latest on stocks, bonds, oil, and inflation—plus why a single spike in the Producer Price Index has the Federal Reserve thinking twice about rate cuts. But that’s just the opening act.
Jake takes you on an unexpectedly entertaining tour of the history of salt as currency, a weapon, and a driver of trade—from Roman legions demanding their rations, to fashionable goiters among the elite, to the Phoenicians building empires around salt production. Along the way, he draws sharp parallels to modern economics, showing how the same forces that moved salt across continents still drive markets today. Expect keen analysis, memorable stories, and a dry wit that somehow makes tariffs, taxes, and inflation feel as engaging as any epic saga.

Markets are inching toward record highs, oil is taking a nosedive, and in D.C., the heads are rolling—statistically speaking. Flying solo this week, Jake dissects a 2.43% jump in the S&P 500, a head-scratching presidential firing of the Labor Department’s top statistician, and the unpredictable tariff merry-go-round that has businesses scrambling to plan for next week, let alone next quarter. From the firing of IRS commissioners to India’s potential 50% tariff hike, Jake explains why the real threat isn’t the tax itself, but the chaos of constantly changing rules.
Along the way, he takes us on a tour of economic history—revisiting Adam Smith, Revolutionary War tea taxes, and the famous Laffer Curve—to show how past lessons still shape today’s policy blunders. Expect sharp takes on free trade, a warning against “shooting the messenger,” and a deep dive into how uncertainty can stall growth from Wall Street to Main Street. It’s economics with context, politics without the partisanship, and just enough humor to make you forget you’re listening to a show about tariffs.

On this week’s episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake flies solo while Jeff journeys home from North Carolina, and the markets take a similar solo dive. With the S&P 500 and bond yields sliding and oil prices rising, Jake unpacks a week that feels more like a financial soap opera than an economy in motion.
We’re talking GDP surprises, sticky inflation, a labor market that’s losing steam, and a Federal Reserve stuck between fighting inflation and preserving jobs. Add in confusing tariff news, stalling housing starts, and a disposable income boost driven mostly by government checks, and you’ve got a recipe for uncertainty.
Jake also explores the upside of a generation of unemployed grads, why autonomous trucks might be the future of logistics, and how tomato prices could reshape American agriculture. It's part market update, part economic philosophy, and part stand-up routine for finance nerds.
If you like your data with a side of humor and actual insight, you’re in the right place.

This week on The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake flies solo while Jeff soaks up the 70-degree glory of North Carolina. Meanwhile, back in the Texas heat, Jake unpacks the cooler but far more volatile world of markets, memes, and mergers. From meme stocks to durable goods orders, from a record-breaking S&P 500 to a plummeting oil price, this episode peels back the layers (and metaphors) to reveal what’s really going on beneath the economic headlines.
And then there’s the juicy stuff—like why CBS may have axed Colbert’s show and what a $16 million lawsuit has to do with a $5 billion merger. Is it political? Is it corporate bean-counting? Is it both? Jake breaks it down, biases and all. Throw in some behavioral economics, frothy AI speculation, and the long tail of internet infrastructure, and you’ve got yourself a whirlwind tour of money, power, and why uncertainty might be the only thing that’s certain right now.

Jake and Jeff are back in sync—despite a thousand miles of separation—to make sense of the week ending July 18th, 2025. The S&P managed a modest climb, bonds are still dragging their heels, and the Federal Reserve is somehow both everywhere and completely misunderstood. They pull back the curtain on how interest rate decisions are actually made (hint: it’s not just Jerome Powell flipping switches), and why political spin rarely matches economic reality.
Then it’s on to the shiny, confusing world of stablecoins. Congress has passed the “Genius Act”—an oddly nameless bill that promises to regulate digital currency while raising more questions than it answers. What’s backing these coins? Who’s issuing them? And should Visa and Mastercard be nervous that Walmart’s about to become your new bank?
Throw in a few well-placed warnings about private investments and some musings on global financial instability, and you’ve got an episode that’s both informative and refreshingly candid.

Buckle up as Jake McClure flies solo—Jeff’s off enjoying the mountains, while Jake dives headfirst into the murky waters of national debt, trade deficits, and the difference between good and bad borrowing (spoiler: financing a yacht with a credit card is still a no). With a wry sense of humor and a dash of Shakespeare, Jake unpacks why balance of trade isn’t necessarily bad, how infrastructure spending might actually be the grown-up in the room, and why the U.S. is spending more on interest payments than defense.
From Adam Smith to awkwardly named legislation (“Inflation Protection Act,” anyone?), this episode unpacks decades of fiscal habits with clarity and candor. If you’ve ever wondered whether government borrowing is more like investing in bridges or just bingeing on late-night infomercials, this one's for you. Also: drones, Roth strategies, and why bipartisan budget logic might just be the unicorn of economics.

This week on The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake takes a deep dive into the mysterious, sometimes maddening world of artificial intelligence—from its noisy origins in 1950s sound-cancellation algorithms to modern-day machine learning missteps (like inventing Venmo accounts and promising deliveries in blazers). Along the way, you'll get a quick market update, a nod to the elusive “Big Beautiful Bill Act,” and a crash course on how AI really thinks—or rather, mimics thinking.
With humor, history, and a healthy dose of skepticism, Jake demystifies AI’s not-so-generative answers, explains why your phone’s text predictions might be smarter than your investment chatbot, and reveals why scuttled German warships are vital to clean scientific research. If you've ever wondered whether AI is the future or just confidently wrong, this episode is for you.

Jake flies solo this week while Jeff escapes the Texas heat, but that doesn’t stop the markets—or the commentary—from heating up. The S&P 500 hit new all-time highs despite a cascade of bad news, including shrinking GDP, falling consumer spending, and a housing market in a 2008-style funk. Jake untangles this economic knot with his usual mix of insight and dry wit.
Also on deck: the mysterious “Rio Reset,” BRICS nations plotting dollar workarounds, and why gold might be the new global handshake. Plus, a reminder that recessions, like exhaling, aren’t the end of the world—just part of the cycle.
Along the way, Jake explores why confidence matters more than numbers, how the bond market seems to be ignoring the Fed, and why housing data may be the canary in the coal mine. This episode is part education, part economic therapy, and 100% The Personal Wealth Coach.

This week, Jeff broadcasts from the serene, cool mountains while Jake sweats it out in molten Texas—proving once again that podcasting thrives on contrast. But things really heat up when they tackle the week’s economic headlines: the Fed stands still while inflation paces ahead, aluminum prices hit new highs thanks to tariffs, and the market dances around the all-too-psychologically-important 6000 mark.
They unpack the ripple effects of rising tensions in the Middle East, from trade routes to oil prices, and what a shifting global alliance could mean for investors. You’ll also hear about the job market’s strange split, where new grads face unemployment while bond yields stay stubborn, and why round numbers hold more power over us than we’d like to admit.
If you like your finance with a side of sarcasm, economic storytelling, and a few Shakespearean nods, you’re in the right place. It’s the kind of episode that makes global chaos oddly reassuring—or at least understandable.

This week, Jake McClure flies solo while Jeff enjoys the North Carolina mountains—but don’t worry, the insights are just as sharp. In this episode, Jake dives into the economic whirlwind of the week: a 13% spike in oil prices thanks to escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, the curious case of inflation hiding in plain sight (hint: check your toy aisle), and why the bond market is the quiet giant you should be watching.
Expect a masterclass in market behavior, a breakdown of the “Big Beautiful Bill” and its trillion-dollar implications, and a surprisingly deep economic lesson from a Transformer toy. Jake also tackles the political theater around tariffs, the debt ceiling, and why AI might be both the villain and the hero of the job market.
If you like your financial commentary with a side of Shakespeare, a dash of sarcasm, and a whole lot of clarity, this episode is for you.

Jake and Jeff dive headlong into the whirlwind of the week’s economic news. This episode of The Personal Wealth Coach hits everything from the S&P 500's return to the 6000 mark (and why that’s more psychological than practical), to bond yields, a falling dollar, and what stagflation really means in plain English.
They tackle topics like rising oil prices (surprise: it’s not in the headlines), productivity drops, durable goods slowdowns, and why tariffs—while great in theory—might be doing more harm than good. There's even a philosophical detour into why struggling economies can lead to brilliant innovation (hello, unemployed computer scientists and future billionaires).
All of this, wrapped in clever analogies, theatrical quotes, and the duo’s classic father-son banter. Want to know why telescope tariffs matter or what "tariff equilibrium" is? Or what it’s like talking to an economist who’s about to brief the president?
Strap in. This isn’t your typical dry financial talk—it’s economics with a wink, and a nudge, and a side of Shakespeare.

On this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake takes the mic solo and, after a few entertaining stumbles out of the gate, quickly finds his rhythm—diving headfirst into a rollercoaster of economic updates, policy quirks, and surprisingly useful thoughts on soy sauce shortages. From dissecting the Fed’s latest minutes and fears of stagflation to Elon Musk’s political exit strategy, Jake unpacks the noise behind the numbers with clarity and a side of dry wit.
You'll hear about why AI might be stealing new grads' jobs, how the market managed a decent week despite chaos, and why importing fewer Q-tips might actually matter. Plus: a spirited defense of good old-fashioned fiscal wisdom (yes, “live within your means” makes a comeback).
If you've ever wondered how economics could possibly clear a room of teenagers, or how Jake manages to make bond yields and oil prices sound almost poetic, this is the episode for you.

This week on The Personal Wealth Coach join Jake and Jeff—two seasoned investment advisors with a flair for economic wit—as they dive into the biggest money stories of the week. From the “Big Beautiful Bill Act” making waves in Congress to the unexpected spike in long-term bond yields and Moody’s rating shake-up, this episode connects the dots between fiscal policy, market reactions, and your portfolio.
Expect sharp insights on:
- Why the S&P’s recent slip signals deeper market anxieties
- How rising interest rates could trigger economic turbulence
- The trillion-dollar implications of government spending (and cutting)
- What the Moody’s downgrade means for your investments
- And yes, why leaving Texas in summer is a sign of financial success
This isn’t just another dry economic recap—Jake and Jeff bring humor, Shakespearean quotes, and a scalpel-sharp analysis to everything from Medicaid cuts to why tariffs aren’t the revenue heroes they're made out to be. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you run a government like a business—or a business like a campaign—this episode’s for you.
Strap in, stay curious, and don’t forget to wear your fiscal seatbelt.

What do bananas, bond markets, and budget battles have in common? They’re all key players in this week’s rollercoaster ride through the U.S. economy. Join Jake McClure as he flies solo—while Jeff preps for his mountain escape—and unpacks the real forces behind the market’s wild 5% surge.
From a not-so-sweet "pause" on tariffs with China to a banana price spike that says more than the CPI ever could, this episode peels back the economic curtain. Jake breaks down why shelves may go bare, what Moody’s latest downgrade means, and how a seemingly boring tax bill could balloon the deficit by $2.4 trillion. And just when you think it’s all doom and gloom, there's a glimmer of hope in America’s manufacturing revival—powered by CNC plasma machines and old-fashioned grit.
Expect sharp insights, dry humor, and an honest look at the "alphabet soup" of economic indicators, all grounded in Jake’s signature mix of wit and wisdom. Perfect for those who want more than headlines—and don’t mind a little Aesop’s fable along the way.

This week on The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake and Jeff unpack a volatile week in the markets, where tariffs took center stage. From surprising new taxes on imports to the ripple effects on corporate earnings, healthcare stocks, and tech suppliers, they explore what’s really behind these sweeping changes—and what it means for your investments.
The episode also tackles the real intent behind tariffs: are they tools for trade balance, revenue replacement, or a blunt-force weapon against fentanyl? You’ll hear how companies like Adafruit are caught off guard, why movie imports are suddenly part of the conversation, and what history teaches us about using trade policy as an economic fix.
With insights on productivity dips, shifting interest rates, and automation in America’s ports, this episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to make sense of a fast-changing economic landscape.

Ever wondered if the economy is a ship, a flock of seagulls, or just a chaotic mess of human behavior? You’re not alone. We’ll also explore how tariffs may inflate more than prices, why the Fed’s chair staying in his seat made markets cheer, and why putting a $5 bill in your guitar case might just save the economy. Whether you're here to learn, worry, or nap, this episode has something for everyone—just don't operate heavy machinery while listening.

In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake and Jeff—economists, educators, and admirably bearded co-hosts—tackle the latest economic shifts with their trademark blend of insight and humor. They dig into the first-quarter GDP estimate from the Atlanta Fed, which signals a surprising contraction of -2.2%, and explore the implications of recent tariff announcements on the U.S. economy.
Along the way, they explain why deflation is scarier than inflation, why tariffs function like sales taxes (but sneakier), and how a sudden drop in the dollar is sounding alarm bells in the bond market. With historical context, personal anecdotes (including garage-fulls of Chinese stereos), and a healthy dose of sarcasm, they examine whether we're entering a recession—or just rehearsing for one.
From stock market barometers to the price of socks and the fate of Treasury bonds, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at what’s really moving the economy—and what history says might happen next.

This week on The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure goes solo behind the mic, diving headfirst into the economic chaos of tariffs, trade wars, and market mood swings. With his signature blend of candor and wit, Jake unpacks the week’s biggest market moves—like the S&P’s dramatic climb—and the political maneuvering behind them. From Liberation Day tariffs to the whiplash-inducing reversal of reciprocal duties, it’s been a week of economic policy that felt more like theater… if the playwright was equal parts strategist and stand-up comic.
Through sharp historical parallels and plainspoken analysis, Jake explores the deeper implications of a tariff-heavy trade stance: how it impacts corporations, consumers, and confidence across the board. There’s discussion of shipping trends, store brands, canceled vacations, and yes, even the curious rise of the word “yippee” in economic discourse. Whether you're in the C-suite or just trying to figure out if now is the time to buy that new car, this episode breaks it all down—minus the fluff, but with plenty of personality.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure.
Money, markets, and mayhem—oh my! If you’re looking for sugar-coated optimism, you may have taken a wrong turn. But if you want a real, no-nonsense take on what’s happening in the economy (with just the right amount of wit), you’re in the right place.
This week, we’re diving into the chaos of politics, the economy, and those pesky tariffs that have everyone clutching their wallets a little tighter. It’s not all doom and gloom—okay, maybe a little—but stick around, because knowing the storm is coming means you can actually prepare for it.
Uncertainty is the market’s worst enemy, and right now, there’s plenty of it to go around. From consumer confidence taking a nosedive to corporate profits feeling the squeeze, the signs are there. The question is: what should you do about it? That’s exactly what we’re here to break down.
Buckle up, because this episode is packed with insight, analysis, and maybe a few rants. Let’s get into it.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. It looked like it was going to be a good week in the market right up until Thursday morning, when things took a turn. On this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Jeff and Jake, as they often do, start us out with this week's market, treasury and crude oil changes. The Laffer point, the what now? Jake explains what it is and how it's relevant when talking about taxes and tariffs. Jeff's follow-up is on the cycle of recessions in the U.S.. Jake hogs the mic a bit and touches on some of the unintended ways tariffs are going to make things more difficult. Jeff continues on income taxes and then to the American Dollar. Jeff and Jake sound very passionate as they go on about what the President and the DOGE team are doing. Are they doing the right thing and are they going about doing it the right way?

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Happy Valentine's Day!!!! On this dedicated day of love, Jeff and Jake start us out, as they typically do, with this week's market update. Following that update is some information on inflation. Jake tries to sell someone a $97 pencil. Talk about a rip off. And goes on to make me wonder how much time he's spent researching chickens. Jeff talks about retail sales which, by the end, looped back around to inflation again.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. On this episode, Jeff and Jake spend a bit of time on the S&P 500 Index and how investors are reacting, or perhaps not reacting, to things that historically they have, which can be a dangerous thing to do. After continuing on with the rest of our weekly market updates, we start out with a jobs report and some details on how a jobs report is obtained. Throughout this entire episode Jake tries his best to remind everyone listening, all three of you, that they are in no way favoring any president or former president. More reports are next up on the show, oh yay. The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the Census Bureau report on imports and exports. Jake uses a strong word when starting out the final topic, why is the U.S. economy doing so dern good compared to most every other major economy. At this point I'll apologize for using the D word but Jake said it first.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. This week, Jake keeps it short. After hearing how the broad market, treasury yields, and crude oil did this week, we hear a bit on the 2024 GDP estimates. But, what is the GDP and how is it obtained? Next, there are some recent publishings that Jake feels the need to talk about. I zoned out, so you're just going to have to listen for yourself. It was probably interesting, especially when Joe and Frank start talking about a pool tool dinglehopper cleaner.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. In this week's episode Jeff and Jake try to figure out how to invest in the opposite of futures, the past (pastures?)! If only it was that easy, I'd never lose money in the market. Our first topic big topic this week, after the market update, is on oil prices. President Trump has said he wants to drill drill drill! But, is it that easy? If you continue to listen, Social Security is next on the chopping block. If you're like me and collecting Social Security is still many many years into the future, you've probably heard at least someone say that it will be gone at some point because there is more going out than is going in. Well, Jeff and Jake try and explain why we have a shortfall and what some options are to fix that.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Included in this week's market update, a bit of interesting information on the somewhat odd interest rates we have right now. Buckle in because the first big topic for this week is insurance history. I say buckle in because that is probably the only way you're going to not want to leave. Fortunately, that leads us into something a bit closer to home, the fires in Los Angeles. We'd be very surprised if you hadn't heard something about the lack of insurance covering the L.A. fires. Hopefully, this will clear at least a little of it up. And if you've read many of my podcast summaries, you might come to the conclusion that listening to these on a weekly basis is one of the worst things I have to do (I'm joking), but luckily that was not the case this week.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. After Jeff and Jake open this first whole week of 2025's podcast with their typical market indicators, they go into a bit on oil prices and why we've seen an increase this week. The next big topic for the week is on employment numbers. Does the immigration of people into the U.S. help or hurt our employment numbers? Next up on the chopping block is the long-term changes currently happening in the American workforce: changes such as the percentage of blue collar versus white collar workers and fluctuations in different industries such as service and professional. To finish for this week, some words are said on how this expansion has some interesting differences. And lastly, Jake gets his crystal ball out and asks it about interest rates. Listen in to see what it says.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. It's here folks, the first podcast of 2025 and if you can figure out what in the world these two are talking about for the first minute and a half, or maybe the whole podcast, give yourself a pat on the back. While not at their best, but still better than I could do, Jeff and Jake give us the first week's market movement for 2025. For those of you who may have decided to start listening to the podcast this week, the general market indicator we track here is the Standard and Poor's 500 Index. However, the CRSP Mid Cap Value Index is something we like to note as it typically gives a better look at the market when the magnificent 6-7 aren't included. We also take a weekly look at U.S. Treasury yields and West Texas Intermediate crude oil. Now, if you continue listening, Jeff and Jake go on to talk about business and consumer confidence. There is some talk about the promised tariffs and what just the promise of having them from a President does. AI, microchips, and quantum processing are hot topics because progress might get halted by tariffs. The wrap up this week is on the narrowing wage gap and the new worker entering the workforce, machines.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake is a little stumbly to start us out during our last podcast of 2024. As you may have guessed, we start this week's podcast out with an update on this week's three-and-a-half-day market. For some reason, the days between Christmas and New Year tend to have very little economic news to report on so, Jake goes on to do a bit of 2024 comparison between the U.S. and other parts of the world. As you've heard for the last many weeks, the U.S. is doing well but what do we need to look out for going into the future that could change that? Jake spends a bit of time talking about a large shift in manufacturing that is happening. To wrap up the final podcast of 2024, Jake decides to talk about homelessness. The good news, the bad news, and the news you probably haven't heard about.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jeff and Jake eventually got around to filling us in on this week's less than favorable market changes. Then went on tell us about the Fed's rate decisions for this week and likely, the near future. After listening to lots of abbreviations, I started to wonder if maybe they should just start recording the entire podcast using the first letter of every word they wanted to use. It would still make about as much sense to me as it does now. Politically, a lot is happening right now and as you might be able to guess, Jeff and Jake go into it. House Bill 82 was an interesting topic. Does the windfall elimination provision or government pension offset affect you? Lastly, but not least, things to look out for and prepare to read some fine print.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. This week, Jake has a few explanations to throw into the weekly market update, containing this week's S&P 500, CRSP Mid Cap Value, debt markets and crude oil movement. Jake goes on to say that higher inflation is up. Well darn. But why? Then, to pile on the not so good news, oil prices are up. My pocketbook just can't catch a break..... Jake's first big topic is on the pattern of income during different times of economic fluctuations, comparing lower income and higher income folks. Next, Jake heads across the ocean to the other side of the world. Germany, Russia, Chana, etc. aren't doing great, to say the least. What are the future tariffs that are, as Jake put it, very very very very very very........ likely to happen, going to do to those parts of the world that rely on exports to the U.S.? If you thought the bitcoin conversation from last week was over, you're very wrong. Jake received some feedback that he responds to. Bringing up those tulips again....

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake makes it through our weekly market update without a single overly long explanation or side story. How? Your guess is as good as mine. THEN! he continues on with a straightforward update on what happened in the economy this week. Maybe it was something I said? Anyhow, the big topic for the rest of this episode is on bitcoin. Naturally, Jake starts at the beginning..... Listen in to see how many rabbits' holes Jake makes it down.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. After blowing right through our weekly market update, Jake goes off on probably the wildest tangent I've heard on this podcast as he adds a topic in the spur of the moment on oil and energy. Our first official topic is on personal income and prices. This is followed by a talk on real estate and mortgage rates. Then comes China. China is in a bad spot and it's not likely to get better tomorrow. What might that lead to? If history repeats itself, then it looks like we already know.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. As if it were a big surprise, this episode starts out with an update on your most loved market indicators. Jake helps explains the flat curve (???) of the interest yield curve. This explanation leads into a longer discussion about PMIs and tariffs. Once again there is talk about how well the U.S. is doing and the even more bleak outlook of other countries. On a side note, I've started planning my trip to the E.U. Jeff throws in a new term, leveraged ETF and lucky for me, Jake tells us what that is. (I wonder if maybe explaining what things are is how he gets a good night's sleep.) Lastly, watch out for scams. Yes! they happen. Happy Turkey Day!!!!

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. This week's S&P 500 Stock Index and CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index were not a thing of beauty as they have been most of this year, but as they say, it could have been worse. After our market updates, we start out with tariffs. While tariffs may be imposed on specific goods or countries, it's not the shipper that pays those tariffs. So, who does? There is quite a bit of talk about the differences or in some cases, lack of differences between presidential campaigns. One of our issues in the U.S. of A. is a large labor shortage. Obviously, we all need to go out and get a second or third or maybe even forth job. Then we wouldn't have to worry about those grocery prices. Jake boasts about looking at Federal balance sheets... sounds like fun. But, because of that there is a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel for the real estate market.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake starts us out with our weekly dose of market updates. The main body of the podcast starts out with interest rates. How does the government control inflation by loaning people money? What does the policy goals of the president elect mean for future interest rates? Jake moves onto productivity. He points out that the U.S. is in the lead for productivity. I've had a few jobs that would beg to differ based on a few of my co-workers. Jake breaks out the tea leaves on what might happen in the government. The question is, were they green tea or black tea leaves? Lastly, Jake somehow ties in a portion of the podcast covering healthcare.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. This week, Jeff hits the foam running, jumping right into the market update with only a short Squirrel!!! moment from Jake as he explains what a value and growth company are. Then, listen in as they explain why we're doing better than most the rest of the world, but not in every way. The two hurricanes that hit the Southeast portion of the U.S. have made things a little wonky. The Real Estate portion of the economy, but why? Lastly, Jake once again gives one piece of advice that doesn't have to be done on a fiduciary level.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. And they're back! After an internet outage prevented them from recording a timely market update last week, they're roaring to get back at it. And by "it" I of course mean the typical bad puns they like to toss around all willy nilly. This week's market indicator updates were not all rainbows and unicorns. Listen in to discover why the U.S. is doing so well while other parts of the world aren't quite making par. Continue listening to hear about a bank failure that was a bit different than the ones we saw in 2023 and why it's important to remember that just because the Fed bailed banks out in the past, that doesn't mean they will always do that in the future.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. During the delve into this week's typical market movement, Jeff and Jake give us a bit of insight into just what some of the outstanding numbers the S&P 500 Index look like historically, and is worth a listen if you ask me. Have you ever wondered why the Fed like to see a 2% inflation rate? Why not 0% inflation, gee that sure sounds good to me. Well, the guys explain how a target of 0% inflation is a bad thing. I'm beginning to think maybe China is part of the podcast on a weekly basis because they are a good example of how not to do things. But this week, Germany joins the mix. Then, they begin talking about the viability of the economic policies both the presidential candidates are talking about. Lastly, the union strikes. Good for now, bad for later. my my my.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. In true optimistic fashion, these two "non-optimists" provide our weekly dose of market indicator updates then try and bait us all into going and listening to previous radio programs from 2021 and 2018. Yea, nice try Bucko. (But, just in case you want to, here's the link Radio Program). They go on to remind us that conflicts and choices made in other parts of the world may not involve us, but they do still affect us, sometimes in ways we don't even consider. If you make it to the end, you'll hear more on why the guys think China's problems likely won't be fixed despite their current attempts to do so. Oh, and how's your toilet paper supply?

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake has something he just has to get off his chest. After his recent trip to Denmark, where his kids spent some time literally making money, he felt the need to compare buying a house in the year 1000 for a dollar today. Listen in as Jake explains some of the difficulties with comparing precious metal values from years far beyond when monetary values and records were kept with values today. By the end, I bet you might even be saying, "wow, regulation might actually be a good thing."

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. After having to listen to Jake ramble a bit about this episode, Jeff comes out swinging with this week's market update. I can't decide whether the S&P 500 Index reaching new heights, or the Treasury yield curve news is more exciting. Although, the prospect of fuel prices going down more is also not terrible news. Then, hold on to your hats, they start talking about politics......everyone's favorite past time. I'm sure by the time everyone has finished listing to this portion of the podcast, our listenership will decrease by at least half. Thanks a lot, guys. Listen closely because Jake gives everyone a piece of trivia that will impress everyone around you in the right circumstances, so basically when you're all alone. Finally, Jeff and Jake end on a talk about what the People's Republic of China is doing to try and curb falling prices and deflation.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. This week starts out similarly to others, with an update on the movements made by the S&P 500 Index and CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index. Jeff gives us a brief note on irrational exuberance followed by a mention that other parts of the economy may be "sane." Maybe he's comparing it to himself..... Then comes the good stuff, interest rates. The majority of this week's economic writings across the interwebs were focused on the Federal Reserve Board's rate change. Jake explains overnight loans made by the Federal Reserve and why lowering rates made rates go up.... oh brother. Jeff gets to tell us about a publishing by Mario Draghi. For those of you that may not know who that is, don't worry, I didn't either.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jeff and Jake keep it short and simple when updating us on the usual market indicators we follow. Apparently, the indicators were not afraid to come out and play during a week that ended on a Friday the 13th! The guys go on to speak on some of the reasons inflation... inflated during Covid and is still annoying all of us today. There is some talk about China and I got to wondering, when is the last podcast that didn't mention China? Someone go ahead and spend your free time finding that out. I'll wait. Jake goes on to give us some information about the S&P 500 Index. Turns out, the companies represented in the index change? Who could have known.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jeff and Jake seemed a teensy bit out of sync for this one. I'll blame it on the 4-day work week. Friday probably came too early for them. They do manage to update us on our preferred market indicators. Listen in to hear their thoughts on how the U.S. is doing compared to other countries such as China and Russia. They also chime in on AI and how it's affecting us even now, in the earlyish stages. Something they've mentioned many times in the recent past.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake..... AND JEFF(!!!!) are at it again this Friday. First, we get an inside peak at what happened to our preferred market indicators during the week. Then, it seems like Jake was super excited to have Jeff back at the foam because they spend a lot of time talking about capacity. I know I'm at capacity when it comes to having to listen to these two. Any pointers on how I increase that? And if you've been feeling a bit down about how things are going in here in the U.S. of A. it's hard to continue doing that after hearing what the guys have to say about our Gross Domestic Product and Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index. But that's not all! We get to hear about scams and things going on in China.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. If you were looking at the S&P 500 Index, CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index, U.S. Treasuries, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil markets this week, you'd think things were going swimmingly. Jake updates us on the movement those markets had for the week. Then goes to try and keep your interest about interest......rates (it took me way too long to come up with that.) Some big things happened this week that could indicate where interest rates are headed. Jake explains what we might expect and a bit about how bond markets work when countries own large amounts of U.S. bonds. Lastly, at the beginning of the episode Jake asks for some help from our listeners. Typically, the weekly update is posted Saturdays at 10am CST because that's when Jeff and Jake would talk about these same topics on the weekly radio program they put on. Jake asks if you can send him an email with whether that schedule is important to you or not and if you have any other recommendations.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Strap in folks. Starting us out, Jake tells us how the S&P 500 Index, CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index, U.S. Treasuries, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil markets did this week. Normally, August is kind of a meh month, however this year, in true 2024 fashion, it's keeping us on our toes. Listen in to hear a bit about current inflation, house prices, and some of the numbers we like to look at from the BLS and BEA. Jake reminds us about how much power the President has when it comes to lowering the price of eggs, among other things. Then, he goes on a ramble about what quite possibly may be his most favorite topic, property rights. Things get a little smelly when the wombats start leaving poop on things.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. We get an update on why Jeff has been a bit MIA as of late. The poor guy, but I'm sure he'll be back with us soon. Jake, as you may have expected, updates us on how our favorite market indicators ended this week. He then goes on to explain what carry trade is and why it affected the market this week. If you make it to the end, you'll find out what we believe is something worth keeping an eye on.......

Jake tries to make things interesting, tries, while providing our weekly dose of updates on the S&P 500 Index, CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index, U.S. Treasuries, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil markets. He then goes on to explain which news brought the market to its knees this week. Then he starts talking about the almighty planetary economy! Listen in to find out why those pants you love so much might be a knockoff, and why that is definitely bad, although it was nice when you were paying for it.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake starts us out with our weekly dose of market movement. Then, as far as I can tell, he starts trying to say the ABCs but in a really weird way. He starts out BEA, then GDP followed by PCE and still he started several other times after that, poor guy. We may need to send him back to grade school. Jake explains how much the President, whoever that may be, has on the actual economy. In the last bit of the episode, Jake gives us some advice, thought he can't even say the alphabet correctly so it's totally on you if you decide to follow it.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake starts out letting us know he intends to make the exciting news boring the boring news exciting. He succeeded on one of those, take a guess at which... This episode, as you may guess, starts with this week's S&P 500 Index, CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index, U.S. Treasuries, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil market happenings. He goes on to explain why the economic indicators indicate that we may be in the clear when it comes to that recession most thought we were going to have. Listen on to hear examples on up-and-coming cities, failed cities and taxes and regulations that helped those cities earn their current status.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Healthcare is something I think we all have a love/hate relationship with. We all want to be healthy and happy, however we don't want to pay 3 fingers and a pinky toe to do it. In this episode, Jake speaks about some of the reasons why it is difficult to compare our healthcare to other nations. Generally, little is known about the complex relationships between drug companies and hospitals and just why those relationships can cause prices to be unknown when you're having a procedure done. Then you throw in insurance companies and all hell breaks loose. Listen in to gain a bit of insight and just be happy he didn't go on for longer.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake droned on alone although for less time than we're used to having to bear. You may notice a slight difference in this podcast. We're trying out a little change. If you didn't notice anything then we've succeeded! But I won't tell you at what....... Jake updates us on this week's S&P 500 Index, CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index, U.S. Treasuries, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil markets for this week. He goes on to tell us a few topics we've noticed that effected those markets. Listen in to find out what the Fed is looking for before they decide on what to do with interest rates which should come out towards the end of the month.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. I think Jeff and Jake may have drunk from the wrong juice this morning, or maybe it was long past its "best by" date. The two alien-like beings start out with an explanation on why they like to reference the S&P 500 Index to the CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index and further, update us on the 4th of July week changes between those, U.S. Treasuries, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil markets. Something came up about consistently inconsistent data... or maybe it was inconsistently consistent data? Who knows...They continue on to spend quite a bit of time on shipping, both domestic and international, all over the world, and why that affects prices so much.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake goes at it all by his lonesome this episode and after listening, it seems Jeff is actually the one who brings the comedy to the show. I know, I'm surprised, too. At first, you almost can't blame Jake as he has to start out with the usual S&P 500 Index, CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index, U.S. Treasuries, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil changes. But, with some emphases he almost makes a change of 0.0% sounds super important. Then, he tries to make inflation sound like a good thing. This guy! Finally, he spends a lot of time explaining some of the differences and similarities between the U.S. and China economies. Oh yay!

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Has anyone else ever wondered how Jeff and Jake would start the show if they weren't both bald and bearded? "We are two guys with a full head of hair!" is kind of an odd flex and just doesn't have the same pizzaz. Anyways, they start us off with this 4-day week's S&P 500 Index, CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index, U.S. Treasuries, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil changes. Then, they go on to discuss changes to our international imports and exports, and some of the ways our presidents may or may not affect our economy like some people seem to think.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. To start us off.......... BOO! Jeff and Jake try to scare off the two of you that listen, which seems a bit counterproductive because I thought the goal was more listeners, not less. But hey, I just work here

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jeff and Jake spent the past few days in Tennessee attending a conference listening and speaking to some of the top economists, which you'd think would help them find something to talk about other than the same old economic and market news. Which is why they, once again, start out with bad disclosure "jokes". Hahaha, joking, but really after giving an updating on this week's S&P 500 Index and CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index hops, skips and jumps they move on to the good stuff. Listen in to hear their reasoning on why the U.S. of A. is doing really well right now despite certain economic numbers being lower or growing slower. They give us some information on Alternative Investments and what you might want to think about before utilizing them.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Grab onto your seats for this. Jeff and Jake start out strong after the intro music and can you guess what they start with? That's right! Disclosures. Then, as you may have guessed, they update us on the weekly S&P 500 Index and CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index numbers. Jake brings up a topic that's probably on most minds, Trump's trial outcome and how it might affect the markets. Is there doom and gloom in our market's future because of politics or the opposite? And, to be honest, I don't think the two of them have used the word "recommend" so many times in a single podcast. Consider yourselves lucky as Jake pulls back just as they start down the rabbit hole on return calculations and how they are obtained, because trust me, they can go on about that for a LOOOOOOOONG time.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Before we get started, we will give you a moment to get your preferred search engine ready. Now, go ahead and type in the word "bifurcation" (thank the tech gods for spell check). This episode, Jeff and Jake start out with their weekly rambling on the S&P 500 Index and CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index and the little bit that happened in the week to affect those. Keep on listening (but why?) to hear about a $444 billion oppsie, the bifurcation of the world markets, interest rates (again?), and a few other excitingish topics.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. This week Jeff and Jake start out strong and talk about giving everyone a good pencil...... Listen in to hear their update on this week's S&P 500 Index and CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index movement and what happened this week to affect it. There is even a treat in the show as Jake starts randomly pressing buttons and gives you a bit of music to listen to (which is probably the best 3 seconds of the entire show.) I'd also like to give a big thanks to Inquisitor John for giving them something to talk about this week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and its history.

Listen in on their short talks on option trading, student population fluctuation from large districts to smaller districts, and two questions everyone should go and ask the financial institution regarding their IRA.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure.

Listen in to find out how to prevent your property from being escheated (that word is a lot more fun to pronounce.) By the end, they might even give us a science lesson splitting Atoms, and axes just don't cut it.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Have you ever heard or read in the news that a company is doing a stock buyback and thought to yourself, "What in tarnation would a company buy its own stock for?". Listen in as Jeff and Jake answer that question and give us an update on what happened with the S&P 500 Stock Index (SPX) along with their other favored indicator, the CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index this week. And, if you make it to the end, which is a long way from the beginning, you might just have an understanding of not only company stock buybacks, but also US Treasury buybacks.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Two miracles were needed to get this episode record and somehow, both were received. Jake is once again joined by Jeff (first miracle) and somehow, they managed to do it from over 1,100 miles away (second miracle). There is a very slight possibility a third miracle might occur if they manage not to put you to sleep while they provide you a summary of this week's S&P 500 Stock Index (SPX) movement and other market indicators they are known to occasionally update our listeners on. Listen in to see what the lowest gas price Jeff recalls as a reminder of his very "youngish" age.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Once again Jake gabs on all by his lonesome once again, for over 30 minutes.........

Then, if you thought things couldn't get any better, or maybe worse, he goes on to speak a bit about a thing we hold near and dear to our hearts, The Fiduciary Rule. A rule we strive to live by at The Personal Wealth Coach.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. On this episode Jake is once again flying solo. If short and bitter (as if the market had a taste profile) are what you're looking for this Saturday morning, you just might be in for a treat. Jake goes over the weekly S&P 500 Stock Index (SPX) and CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index movement for the week ending April 19th. And if you found yourself letting off a low grumble the last time you visited the gas station, listen in to hear an interesting tidbit about where West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices are compared to 10 years ago. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

When the economic and market headlines are predominately negative, there tends to be a larger amount of money in cash positions, not invested in the market, suggesting higher market levels are coming. As economic and market news becomes more positive, more of that money is invested. Once the market news is predominately positive and optimistic about the future, much or most of that money has been invested and the likelihood of a major market decline rises.

So-called “cryptocurrencies” are, almost without exception, not currencies. Rather they are more like collectable, non-government issued coins with a fluctuating market value. They can be traded for specific goods or services in some cases, but do not normally qualify as money.

Long-term investing requires patience and the ability to see apparent losses appear in your portfolio. Presuming you have a well-diversified and well-balanced portfolio; time is on your side. Just as those who left a recent sports game just before the end missed an historic turnaround and victory, bailing out of a well-positioned portfolio in a down market historically has meant missing out on the gains that follow.

Securities markets in the United States are regulated under the authority of the Securities Acts of 1933 and 1934, as amended. U.S. regulatory agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, and FINRA were created by the Securities Act of 1933 in response to illicit acts leading up to the stock market crash of 1929. Those agencies continue to be the foundation of fair dealing in the U.S. securities markets.

One of the prime missions of the Federal Reserve Board is to maintain the value of the dollar; adjusting the money supply to hold a dependable value. Did the Fed create the current surge in inflation? Given that inflation is at high levels for all major international currencies, probably not. Rather, the surge of inflation we are experiencing was more likely caused by the pandemic and the supply chain issues that our change in behavior created.

Prices measured in the U.S. by Consumer Price Index are up 7% from a year ago. It’s the highest since 1982. Significant parts of this inflation seem to come from the used cars and trucks market, which are up by 37.3%, and the fuel and oil market, which are up by 50%.

The U.S. Consumer Price Index is up 7% from one year ago, the highest single-year increase since 1982. However, the current high inflation is unlikely to persist as the prime drivers appear to be coming from used cars and trucks, up over 37%, and fuel prices, up by about 50%.

Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds that claim to be “ESG” (environmental, social, and governance) have seen a high volume of retail purchases in the past few years. Unfortunately, there is no generally recognized definition for the term “ESG” when used with investments, and more than a few securities with that tag have been shown to have poor ESG characteristics.

As the Omicron variant surged across the country, the S&P 500 experienced a decline not unlike what we saw in October when the Delta variant was spreading. A near-correction decline in market values is not pleasant, but the stock market needs such things from time to time to clear out unprofitable companies and continue to grow over the long-term.

Unlike the bull market of the late 1990s, there are actually more stocks that declined in 2021 than rose. In the bull market of the 1990s that ended with a severe market plunge in 2000-2002, almost all stocks rose dramatically regardless of whether they were likely to be profitable. That leaves room for further gains in the market.
