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.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
