The Fed's New Playbook

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.

When Energy Moves, Everything Moves

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.
