Today, I'm sharing a recent and powerful conversation I had with Jeremy Knauff, a friend and public relations and marketing expert, unpacking the dramatic shifts underway in the global economy and how everyday Americans can prepare. In this conversation, we make sense of macroeconomic chaos, including inflation, tariffs, the demise of the dollar standard, and the risks of a debt-fueled financial system, as well as how it's important as Americans to increase our financial literacy, live within our means, invest in real assets (not just paper wealth), and build resilient networks in preparation for the volatile times ahead.
