Surprise. A double episode week.

In this new episode of Back to Business, we break down the decisions driving today’s biggest headlines and what they mean for businesses, markets, and consumers.

From rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and the potential impact on oil prices, gas prices, and global supply chains, to the growing risks of AI in the legal system, including recent cases involving false citations, this episode explores how real world decisions are shaping financial outcomes.

We also discuss the potential Spirit Airlines bailout and what it reveals about corporate bailouts, market intervention, and competition, along with a breakdown of the NFL Draft as a real time example of high stakes decision making under pressure.

If you are paying attention to business strategy, financial markets, AI risk, supply chain disruption, and economic trends, this episode connects the dots.
