Weekly Wealth Update: A Make Better Wealth Decisions podcast dedicated to explaining how current events impact your portfolio and the wealth decisions you make. Tune in every Monday for commentary on how the news of the week affects your portfolio and your thinking.

Are you relying on outdated investing assumptions while the world is fundamentally changing?

For decades, investors have been taught that history always repeats itself and that “this time is different” is a dangerous mindset. But what if blindly applying past frameworks is exactly what’s preventing you from seeing today’s risks clearly? In this episode, we challenge conventional investing wisdom and explore why demographics, climate change, geopolitical fragmentation, and exploding public debt are converging in ways we’ve never experienced before.

By listening, you’ll learn how to:

1. Identify when historical investing patterns still apply—and when they no longer do
2. Understand how polycrisis dynamics can simultaneously amplify multiple economic risks
3. Filter financial decisions through a modern lens to make better wealth decisions in uncertain times

If you want to navigate investing with clarity instead of complacency, this episode will help you think more critically and make better wealth decisions starting now.
