090: 2022 Economic Outlook

America is two months into a New Year, and hopefully, COVID concerns are in the rearview as mask mandates begin lifting throughout the nation.

Patti and her Chief Investment Officer, Brad Everett, discuss current market conditions and predictions and give meaning to the data to help the listener better understand what is really going on in the world.
