What could a quieter Fed mean for your money?

I joined John on Your Money Matters on WGN Radio 720 to discuss the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting and what a shift away from constant forward guidance could mean for markets, savers, and borrowers.

I shared why investors may need to pay closer attention to raw economic data going forward, why higher-for-longer interest rates could remain part of the conversation, and how this environment may affect everything from money market rates and CDs to mortgages and borrowing costs.

I recently joined WBBM Newsradio 780AM to discuss the important financial and legal conversations parents should have when their children turn 18.

In this Common Cents segment we discuss what to do if you’re behind on retirement savings.

Learn how creating a budget, building a starter emergency fund, attacking debt, and using retirement accounts like a 401(k), Roth IRA, SEP IRA, or Solo 401(k) can help late savers take action and start building toward a more secure financial future.

When people compare public and private sector pay, they often miss the most important part of the equation.

I joined RFD-TV’s Cow Guy Close to talk about why benefits, retirement income, and healthcare costs may tell a very different story than wages alone. It raises a bigger question: who ultimately carries the risk?

I always enjoy joining Scott on Rural Radio, and this conversation covered a lot of ground: inflation, crude oil, wage pressure, job creation, and the broader economic outlook.

I also shared my thoughts on the SpaceX IPO, why index-based investing could influence demand, and why I remain optimistic about America’s long-term innovation story.

What should investors make of the SpaceX IPO?

I joined John on WGN Radio 720’s Noon Business Lunch to discuss why this IPO has captured so much attention, how quickly it could make its way into major indices, and why investors may already have more exposure to this story than they realize through their existing portfolios.

06/16/2026

In this Common Cents segment, we discusses convertible bonds and how they can offer investors a hybrid approach that combines fixed income resilience with equity-like upside.

Learn how convertible bonds may help investors participate in growth opportunities tied to areas like technology, industrials, infrastructure, and artificial intelligence while seeking to manage volatility and downside risk.

Recently, I joined Cow Guy Close on RFD-TV to discuss AI’s impact on the workforce and markets.

We discussed why AI should enhance human productivity rather than simply replace workers, the importance of strong governance and KPIs, and what AI-driven innovation could mean for investors, business owners, and the broader economy.

What happens when a jobs report comes in more than double expectations?

On a recent guest appearance on Rural Radio's Commodity Talk, I touch on why the latest employment data reinforces the strength of the US economy, what it means for interest rates, and why inflation remains a key concern for investors.
