With the most recent developments on reciprocal tariffs and huge losses in the stock markets, the concerns are reaching a tipping point for Americans about what this means for their portfolio, retirement, and purchasing power.

In this episode, Ed and LeAnne Siddell take a smooth and steady approach to break down the economic realities behind tariffs and how these policies impact consumers, businesses, and the economy. 

Drawing from current events, economic data, and historical context, Ed sheds light on the reality of the current situation and why he feels the tariffs are necessary to combat trade deficits, even if he might not necessarily agree with the overall strategy at times.

If you're one of the many who are concerned about rising prices or the long-term direction of tariffs and the economy, this episode should provide reasons for some cautious optimism.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: 

  • Why the administration’s policy on tariffs is necessary to resolve global trade deficits.
  • How tax cuts and deregulation have historically been great methods to supercharge the economy 
  • The importance of a diversified portfolio, especially during volatile market conditions.
  • Investors can’t time the market, but dollar-cost averaging is a great way to ensure your portfolio recovers.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
