Ep 4: Navigating a Potential Recession
Depending on who you talk to, we’re either quickly approaching a recession or we’re already in one. Either way, there’s been a significant pullback in the economy this year and we wanted to help ease your mind about what to expect during times like these.
So today we want to approach the conversation of navigating a recession from a few specific angles. First, how did we get here and what’s causing it? Then we’ll look at some of the past recessions and see what we can learn from that experience. And finally, what are some of the practical things we can do to reduce our risk during a recession?
