It seems like all the news is doom and gloom these days, and the US economy often falls into that bucket of negativity. People are often looking at worst-case scenarios and playing on the fear that drives them to react. The sky always seems to be falling. 

It’s time to reverse that trend on this week’s show. There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about both the economy and even the world at large. It’s important to have a full picture of what’s going on, and in this episode, Shawn and Scott will go through reasons to have a little bit more optimism.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

  • How we convey optimism and hope to our clients. 
  • While Social Security may not be what it used to be, part of that is because we are living longer, happier lives. 
  • How we can use modern technology to best serve our clients. 
  • Tax rates are actually historically low. 
  • When recessions do happen, they generally do not last that long. 
  • The global extreme poverty rate is significantly down.
