Protecting assets from inflation is no longer a theoretical concern — it is a practical financial decision for investors and entrepreneurs.

In this episode, Tom Wheelwright sits down with investment banker and economic expert Christopher Whalen, Chairman of Whalen Global Advisors, to explain how rising national debt, monetary policy, and election-year decisions are changing the risk environment for business owners and investors.

Many people believe inflation is temporary and markets will normalize on their own. Tom and Christopher discuss why public policy, banking stability, and government spending are creating structural risks that affect savings, investments, and business planning.

You will learn:

• How national debt influences inflation and interest rates
• Why policy decisions affect asset values and liquidity
• What risks entrepreneurs face in the current economic cycle
• How banking and credit conditions impact investments
• Why waiting to act can reduce purchasing power

This matters now because inflation and debt levels directly determine the future value of your income, retirement, and investments. Investors who understand macroeconomic risk early can make better decisions about where to store wealth and how to protect cash flow.
