Fading-Midwestern-Summer-Walk-Talk-Bob Davis Podcast 945

Summer Is Short Up Here

First of all summer in the upper Midwest is short. We all know that, right? Join me on a midnight walk and talk as the heat hangs in the balance in Fading-Midwestern-Summer-Walk-Talk-Bob Davis Podcast 945.

Walk and Talk Time

More importantly these occasional walk and talk podcasts are necessary.

Making Sense Of This Crazy World

Secondly every now and then I have to take the podcast machine out for some free association. It helps me make sense of the crazy world we’re living in.

Recent Podcasts

Even more late night walks serve to integrate some of the heavier podcasts I’ve done recently.

Lots of Feeds In July! Thank You!

Certainly July had some podcasts that garnered pretty solid download numbers.

Facebook’s Civil War

For example my podcast on Facebook’s diabolical approach to sowing disagreement and discord. In addition a podcast I did at the beginning of July on the economic situation.

Ahead Of The Curve

Above all my goal is to give podcast listeners and subscribers information they might not be aware of. And to give people something to think about a little ahead of the curve.

Summer Storms

In short I find investigating and commenting on ‘news’ that seems to blow up and disappear like a summer storm isn’t worth my attention, or yours.

Three Big Story Lines In August

So in Fading-Midwestern-Summer-Walk-Talk-Bob Davis Podcast 945 I outline the three big story lines I think we can pay attention to in the month of August.

Fair Time!

In conclusion in my part of the world we have something called The Minnesota State Fair. The fair is a ritual that helps us process the end of summer.

Weather Change

Finally the weather changes and you get ready for fall.

Cancel Culture

Unfortunately the fair has been cancelled, so it’s hard for us all to figure out what time of the year it is!

Surreal Summer

To sum up it has been a surreal summer. True, we have a few weeks left. In fact there are predictions of the return of heat before it’s all over. But I can’t imagine fall will be any less surreal.

(Photo Editor Note: On the river in Minneapolis. A stark difference from the usual photos and press regarding our troubles in Minneapolis. A night spent with people who care about their home and their community. Thanks guys for the opportunity to get that shot!)

Corona-Recession-Becoming-Depression?-Bob Davis Podcast 941

Corona-Recession-Becoming-Depression?

Firstly chances of a happy ending to this pandemic are fading. Learn more in Corona-Recession-Becoming-Depression?-Bob Davis Podcast 941.

Going Against The Optimists

Secondly I know what I have to say goes against the optimists.

Pollyanna

However there’s optimism, then there’s Pollyanna.

Mental Health

Thirdly and most importantly are concerns and questions about our overall mental health.

Giving In To Reopening Pressure

Certainly it’s now clear some states gave in to political pressure to reopen.

Shutting Back Down

As a result we face the specter of shutting back down. One of the reasons I ask whether the Corona Recession Is Becoming A Depression?

Negative Economic Impacts

Above all the big concern is additional negative impacts on the US Economy.

Relief Running Out

Even more unemployment benefits and business relief packages are running out.

The Sheriff Is Here With Your Eviction Notice

Finally as the grace period on evictions ends people are forced to move.

“This Is All Going To End, You’ll See”

This was all supposed to be over by now, right?

Taxpayers Are Broke…So Is The Government

Meanwhile Congress and the White House are negotiating new relief that starts at one trillion dollars. Where is the production and the tax revenue to pay for it?

Enormous Debt To Stop The Panic

More debt, more money printing and more borrowing future growth to stop the bleeding now.

The Boom Was A Dream

In addition the bill for the central bank’s propping up the world economy for at least ten years is coming due. Our economic boom was a dream. Corona is the shock that ended it.

Good Morning Sunshine!

In short it is not a pretty picture.

Optimism Rests On Stock Market and Unemployment Numbers

Similarly you’re going to hear a lot about unemployment numbers, the stock market and so on. But these are not how we measure the economy.

Top Guys Hedging Their Bets

In conclusion top financial people are already hedging their bets. Warning of gathering storm clouds and trouble ahead.

Kanye West, Protests and Karen

The fact that these stories have not seeped into the mainstream is especially relevant. But when you have riots, Kanye West and Karen’s antics at the WalMart to share on social media, who cares about the economy?

Really Hope The Optimists Are Right

To sum up, batten down the hatches America, in about a month we all may wish the eternal optimists were right.

Surviving-Thriving-In-Financial-Armageddon-Bob Davis Podcast 917

Corona’s Financial Armageddon

First of all, these days you can’t escape talk about the coming corona based financial Armageddon. I think it’s time for some real talk about what it means and how to get through it. Learn more in Surviving-Thriving-In-Financial-Armageddon-Bob Davis Podcast 917.

Survive and Thrive

Moreover we don’t want to just survive. We want to thrive, right?

Experience Counts

Second who better to talk about than two experienced and exceptional financial and legal guys?

Nathan Nelson

Nathan Nelson is one of the founders and managing partner of Virtus Law. Especially relevant is Nelson’s strategic focus and business law experience. He’s helped many businesses get through crises.

Todd Rooker

In addition Todd Rooker is a strategic financial planner and coach. Certainly Todd has experienced financial hardship in his own life. He has also helped many people survive and thrive through financial panics and crises going back to the farm crisis in the 1980’s.

Real Talk About What To Do And How To Do It

Above all I believe what we all need right now is some plain talk about what to do, and how to do it. As much as is possible my guests in Surviving-Thriving-In-Financial-Armageddon-Bob Davis Podcast 917 will do that.

Fear Is Not An Option

Due to the severity of what has already happened and what may happen all of us can sometimes freeze. We don’t know what the best thing to do is. Seems like in these situations fear truly is our worst enemy.

Strategy Determines Whether You Survive

Finally we need a strategy. How do we handle the banks? What about these Small Business Association loans? Then there’s credit and whatever cash we have on hand. Moreover is it going to be a recession, or God forbid a depression. To learn more about each, listen to this recent Bob Davis Podcast.

How To Kill The Wolf Without The BS

Therefore it is fair to say whether the wolf is in the front yard, at the door or has broken into the house, there’s always something we can do. We just need to know what to do, without all the BS.

Opportunity To Thrive

Furthermore both Nathan and Todd strongly believe goal number one is not only to survive but to use this moment as an opportunity to emerge stronger and more prosperous than ever.

Not All Gloom and Doom

In conclusion it’s worth mentioning that there is plenty of opportunity out there, as we speak. All is not gloom and doom if we plan and execute effectively.

This Is The Podcast

Hence, if there’s one podcast about what to do in the current and coming financial Armageddon, this is the one that will help you the most.

(Editor’s Note: Full disclosure; Virtus Law and Nathan Nelson are advertisers on the Bob Davis Podcasts. However, this interview was not solicited by Nathan or Todd, and it is not a paid advertisement. These are the guys I would want on my side in an emergency. I thought if that was true, why not have them on a podcast so you can benefit from their knowledge as well.)
