Weekly Market Insights May 27 - 30, 2025

On this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake takes the mic solo and, after a few entertaining stumbles out of the gate, quickly finds his rhythm—diving headfirst into a rollercoaster of economic updates, policy quirks, and surprisingly useful thoughts on soy sauce shortages. From dissecting the Fed’s latest minutes and fears of stagflation to Elon Musk’s political exit strategy, Jake unpacks the noise behind the numbers with clarity and a side of dry wit.

You'll hear about why AI might be stealing new grads' jobs, how the market managed a decent week despite chaos, and why importing fewer Q-tips might actually matter. Plus: a spirited defense of good old-fashioned fiscal wisdom (yes, “live within your means” makes a comeback).

If you've ever wondered how economics could possibly clear a room of teenagers, or how Jake manages to make bond yields and oil prices sound almost poetic, this is the episode for you.
