Quote: From a speaking standpoint, it may, on the surface, seem, “Oh my gosh, this is terrible; nobody is going to know what to do.” On the other hand, within a really short period of time, people are going to say, “You know, we could use some help in that area.” Andrew Busch

There has been so much happening in the world these last couple of months. The news is overwhelming for so many, and there is so much uncertainty. We decided it was time to bring back our “great calmer downer” and economist, Andrew Busch. On this episode of The Wealthy Speaker Podcast, Andrew is here to explain some of what is going on and do his best to alleviate some of our fears

Andrew is the former first Chief Market Intelligence Officer for the US government and economic futurist at AndrewBusch.com. For the CFTC, he was charged with improving and enhancing the government’s understanding of the markets and the economy. His job was to take all the news, information, and data on the economy and markets, filter it into condensed, easily understood research, and communicate it to the government and public. Andy provided economic and market briefings to the White House, US House, US Senate, the SEC, the Federal Reserve Board, and US Treasury staff on a wide range of issues, including interest rates, inflation, China’s influence on trade, and the impact of technology on the economy.
