Episode details
Episode description
Oil is hitting the economy hard. Inflation has risen to 3.3%, gas prices have surged more than 21% in a single month, and consumer sentiment has dropped to historic lows. At the same time, small business confidence is weakening and the number of home buyers has fallen near record lows, signaling growing pressure across the economy. Tom Ellsworth breaks down what these signals mean for consumer health, housing, migration trends, inflation dynamics, and whether markets are stabilizing or flashing early stress signals beneath the surface. ♟️ VAULT 2026 TICKETS: https://bit.ly/4tpH8vV 🟩 TAKE A POSITION ON KALSHI:http://kalshi.com/pbd 📈 SCALE YOUR BUSINESS: https://bit.ly/4qdoEwz Ⓜ️ MINNECT WITH TOM ELLSWORTH: https://bit.ly/3OBkSQg 👨💻 GET TO KNOW TOM: https://bit.ly/4s6BIEQ 📺 SUBSCRIBE TO: @PBDPodcast @VALUETAINMENT @ValuetainmentShortClips 🏛️ ABOUT US: Valuetainment is the leading source for content on entrepreneurship, capitalism, and leadership.
