This week on The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure goes solo behind the mic, diving headfirst into the economic chaos of tariffs, trade wars, and market mood swings. With his signature blend of candor and wit, Jake unpacks the week’s biggest market moves—like the S&P’s dramatic climb—and the political maneuvering behind them. From Liberation Day tariffs to the whiplash-inducing reversal of reciprocal duties, it’s been a week of economic policy that felt more like theater… if the playwright was equal parts strategist and stand-up comic.
Through sharp historical parallels and plainspoken analysis, Jake explores the deeper implications of a tariff-heavy trade stance: how it impacts corporations, consumers, and confidence across the board. There’s discussion of shipping trends, store brands, canceled vacations, and yes, even the curious rise of the word “yippee” in economic discourse. Whether you're in the C-suite or just trying to figure out if now is the time to buy that new car, this episode breaks it all down—minus the fluff, but with plenty of personality.
