Investment Friday is entering an exciting new chapter!
In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA®, FRM®, Chief Investment Officer at Juncture Wealth Strategies, share why Investment Friday is officially becoming its own podcast — launching February 2026 — and what that means for listeners who want grounded, historically informed financial insight without fear-based headlines.
Together, they unpack:
What really happened in markets in 2025
What the early data is telling us about 2026
Why “bad news can be good news” for markets
Labor market trends and interest rate expectations
The Venezuela situation and its global implications
The U.S. dollar's role as the world's reserve currency — and what happens if that changes
Why entrepreneurship, innovation, and equity markets endure through every cycle
This episode is a reminder that you don't need to live in financial fight-or-flight. With the right context, history, and perspective, you can stay invested, informed, and grounded — even in uncertain times.
