It's Economic! | Vol. I

We’re Building the Podcast We Wanted to HearA lot has changed in just two weeks—and if you’re trying to make sense of it all, you’re not alone. Welcome to the “It’s Economic!” edition of Volala: Volatility is the Life of Our Party. Ayeh Bandeh Ahmadi, with over 20 years of experience across federal agencies—including managing trillions in U.S. debt at Treasury during the first Trump administration—breaks down the latest policy shifts, focusing on how tariffs, AI, and government restructuring are shaping the economy. We dive into the second- and third-order effects of these changes on businesses, paychecks, prices, and more—without the panic or the hype. On the menu: 🔹 The Fed is stepping back, and policy is stepping in—tax cuts, tariffs, and trade are now key drivers.🔹 Businesses are recalibrating—how investment, risk, and strategy are shifting.🔹 AI is evolving—but not as the headlines suggest.🔹 The government is restructuring—what that means for jobs and Big Tech.🔹 A quick guide to tariffs—how they’re impacting inflation, supply chains, and strategy.
