Inflation and Why It Is So Stubborn

12/5/2025
Why did prices stay flat for twenty years, then suddenly surge and refuse to come back down? In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, we take a deep dive into the puzzle of persistent inflation and uncover the forces that keep it hanging around. We’ll explore how decades of free trade kept costs low, why pandemic supply chain chaos flipped the script, and how stimulus checks and rehiring frenzies reshaped the labor market. From housing booms and wage hikes to tariffs, tech wars, and the chip shortage, we connect the dots on why inflation became a habit instead of a hiccup. You’ll also hear why interest rates aren’t the silver bullet, what the Federal Reserve is really prioritizing, and how confidence and uncertainty drive pricing decisions in boardrooms across America. If you’ve ever wondered why your grocery bill feels permanent, why electronics prices are spiking, or why global trade friction matters to your wallet, this episode delivers clarity with a healthy dose of humor.

Public Stakes in Private Profits; When Governments Become Shareholders

11/29/2025
What happens when Uncle Sam starts acting like a venture capitalist? In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure dives into a surprising trend: governments taking direct stakes in private companies. From Intel’s $8.9 billion boost under the CHIPS Act to golden shares in U.S. Steel, we explore what this means for innovation, profitability, and the long-term health of the economy. Is this smart strategy or creeping nationalization? Along the way, Jake unpacks historical parallels like Amtrak and Fannie Mae, contrasts U.S. moves with sovereign wealth funds, and asks the big question: can a government ever be a good shareholder? If you care about markets, policy, and the future of capitalism, this episode is your wake-up call, with a side of Thanksgiving gratitude. This episode was recorded on November 28th, 2025.

Stress, Strategy, and Staying Calm in the Middle

11/22/2025
Markets don’t just move, they mess with our minds. In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure takes you inside the psychology of financial chaos and explains why even smart investors make irrational choices when things get turbulent. From loss aversion and herd mentality to recency bias and framing, we unpack the mental traps that lead to panic selling and FOMO buying. But it’s not all theory. Jake connects these behaviors to real-world trends: skyrocketing tariffs, shifting holiday spending, and the inflationary ripple effect of consumer confidence. We explore why crypto’s deep dive isn’t just about technology, why gold still glitters for some, and why diversification remains the unsung hero of long-term success. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your cool when headlines scream “crisis,” this episode is your roadmap. Learn why discipline beats speculation, why defining your financial purpose matters more than chasing the next big thing, and how to build strategies that thrive even when the world feels upside down. Because in the middle of chaos, calm isn’t just a mindset, it’s a strategy. This episode was recorded on November 21st, 2025.

Innovation While Under Pressure, How Stress Sparks Progress

11/15/2025
In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, we dive into a paradox that defines progress: how crisis fuels creativity. Host Jake McClure explores the surprising upside of uncertainty, revealing how the pandemic era, despite its chaos, ignited a wave of innovation across medicine, technology, and entrepreneurship. From the warp-speed development of mRNA vaccines and CRISPR gene editing to AI-driven molecular design and remote patient monitoring, we unpack how stress accelerated breakthroughs that are now reshaping life expectancy and global healthcare. You’ll hear how the pandemic’s urgency led to unprecedented collaboration between governments, universities, and private companies, fast-tracking research that would’ve otherwise taken decades. But it’s not just medicine. We also examine the economic ripple effects: the record-breaking surge in new business formations, the role of regulatory clarity in fostering innovation, and how discomfort and disruption often serve as the breeding ground for transformative ideas. Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a policy wonk, or just curious about how adversity can become a launchpad for progress, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at the silver linings of stress and why the future might be brighter than we think.

When Silence Gets Expensive

11/8/2025
What happens when Washington goes quiet? It’s not peace—it’s a price tag. In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, we explore the hidden costs of government inaction and why silence can ripple through every corner of the economy. From shutdowns that knock billions off GDP to laws that promise financial flexibility but stall in regulatory limbo, the gap between “passed” and “practical” is widening—and it’s hitting investors hard. Missing jobs reports and inflation data aren’t just headlines; they’re the signals markets rely on. When those signals go dark, uncertainty takes over. And it doesn’t stop there. Catch-up contributions that were supposed to go Roth? Still waiting on rules. 529 rollovers into IRAs? Great idea—if anyone knew how to implement it. Even fiduciary standards, debated for nearly two decades, remain a moving target. The result? A financial system where the law says “go,” but the infrastructure says “not yet.” If you’ve ever wondered why planning for retirement or college feels like navigating a maze blindfolded, this episode pulls back the curtain. We’ll unpack the quirks, delays, and unintended consequences that make silence one of the most expensive sounds in finance—and share what you can do to stay ahead when the rules aren’t written yet.

In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, we peel back the headlines to uncover the real shockwave: the end of quantitative tightening and a subtle shift that could reshape the financial landscape. Jake McClure dives deep into the Federal Reserve’s playbook—why they’re reinvesting billions into Treasury bills, what that means for mortgage rates, and how these moves ripple through jobs, inflation, and your wallet.

Capitalism, Communism, and Everything In Between: Breaking Economic Myths

10/25/2025
Think you know what capitalism really means? Or how socialism differs from communism? In this episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake McClure dives deep into the misunderstood world of economic systems. From the roots of tribalism and feudalism to modern mixed economies, we explore why pure capitalism or communism doesn’t exist, how government guardrails shape markets, and why economics isn’t truly a science. Along the way, we tackle ghost cultures, quirky property rights, and the surprising ways family life mirrors communism. You’ll hear why history doesn’t repeat—but rhymes—and how cultural habits like QWERTY keyboards and piano keys influence our economic thinking. Plus, we’ll uncover why attorneys are the immune system of capitalism, why free markets aren’t really free, and what happens when Taco Bell wins the “restaurant wars.” If you’ve ever wondered how philosophy, psychology, and politics collide in shaping our economy, this episode will challenge your assumptions and make you rethink everything you thought you knew about money and markets.

Shutdowns, Tariffs & Tomatoes: A Crash Course in Economic Chaos

10/4/2025
