About this episode

Brad McMillan discusses major economic questions and trends affecting investors today.

Today on BullCast, we’re rolling out the red carpet for Brad McMillan, Chief Economist at Commonwealth Financial Network! Before we put him in the economic hot seat, we take some time to get to know Brad beyond the charts and forecasts, including favorite bands, comfort food, and all the important hard-hitting journalism you’ve come to expect from BullCast. Then, it’s game on. We tackle some of the biggest questions facing investors and the economy today: Are mega tech companies carrying the entire market on their backs? Are we still in the early innings of the AI boom, or are we farther along than we think? What changes could be coming to the Federal Reserve under new Chair Kevin Warsh? And what happens if the U.S. dollar keeps losing strength? We also dive into recession indicators, slowing job growth, the rising national debt, and why debt interest payments are becoming a bigger conversation than ever before. Brad breaks it all down in a way that’s insightful, understandable, and honestly... pretty fun. This is one of those episodes where you’ll laugh a little, learn a lot, and probably leave with a few things to think about. Don’t miss it. Visit us online…
