It’s\r\nup, it’s down, it’s sideways. GDP, the S&P, ABCDEFG. It can be hard to understand what\r\nyou’re seeing. But of course, this stuff matters—especially if you have a business. So how do\r\nyou make sense of it all?\r\n\r\nLuckily for you, there are people like Tell Alessio, Treasurer at Cadence Bank. Tell reads\r\neconomic reports for a living and translates them so that mere mortals can understand. On this\r\nepisode of In Good Companies, we’re breaking down the economy—what is it exactly? What\r\nmakes it healthy or unhealthy? How can you tell a short-term blip from a long-term trend?\r\nTell will also guide us through the surprisingly accessible world of economic policy.\r\nWho’s actually running things, and what does “running things” even mean? Is inflation bad?\r\nWhat can you interpret from federal interest rates? And what is “reverse repo”? More\r\nimportantly, we’ll cover how these terms might affect your business, and how you can time\r\nimportant moments in your company lifecycle with these trends to maximize return.\r\n\r\nIt might seem intimidating, but don’t worry, we’ll quantitatively ease you into it. This is\r\neconomic policy for everyone. So listen on!","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/XzrhyPQL4G1LxZ2ZGulAzOrcYh6dTHctf2s1IcGnWew/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI1NDgxLzE2NjQ5/ODQyNzktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
