Episode Details

The economy looks strong on the surface with record stock market highs, AI reshaping industries, and New York City buzzing with energy. But underneath, there is a different story. Higher interest rates, rising defaults, and pressure on small businesses are creating a widening gap between the “haves” and the “have-nots.”

In this episode, Charlie Harary and Scott Rechler break down where we really are in the economic cycle, what makes this moment an inflection point, and how decisions made now could shape the future of growth. They also look at what is at stake for New York City as the mayoral race heats up and why leadership, tone, and policy will matter more than promises.

Where is the economy heading, and what does it mean for all of us? Tune in to find out.
