Descripción

What is quantitative easing — and why has it reshaped your rent, your job, and your tax bill for the next 40 years? In this episode, Isaac breaks down the most powerful (and least-understood) tool in modern finance: the central bank's ability to create trillions of dollars out of thin air. From Lehman Brothers' collapse in 2008, to a secret 1910 meeting on Jekyll Island that built the Federal Reserve, to the COVID-era money explosion and the inflation hangover that followed — this is the story of how money actually works. Designed to be understandable for a high schooler, useful for anyone over 30, and honest about who wins and who pays. 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW The Planning Podcast takes the strange, the technical, and the buried truths of money — and drags them into the light. Hosted by Isaac M. Cooper of IMC Financial Consulting.

Fernando Tatis Jr., a $2 Million Deal, and the Cost of Your Future

Before Fernando Tatis Jr. became one of baseball’s biggest stars and signed a $340 million contract, he accepted approximately $2 million from a company that believed in his future success. In exchange, the company received rights to a percentage of his future earnings. Years later, that agreement has become the center of a highly publicized legal battle. In this episode of PLΔNNING, Isaac M. Cooper breaks down the athlete behind the headlines, the business model that made the deal possible, the legal arguments from both sides, and the broader lessons around financial literacy, risk, investing, and the cost of capital. Whether you’re an athlete, entrepreneur, investor, parent, or simply someone making important financial decisions, this episode will challenge you to think differently about the value of money today versus the value of your future.
