Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Promo Insiders: Mary Kelly Discusses the State of the Economy Ahead of Q4
Q: heading into the midterms, do you expect shifts in political representation, and how might sentiment influence consumer behavior and policy in the near term?
Shifts are likely, and sentiment will continue to matter. People feel inflation and wage growth pressures, which can affect voting behavior and spending patterns; policymakers will need to address these frictions to maintain consumer confidence.
Promo Insiders: Mary Kelly Discusses the State of the Economy Ahead of Q4
Q: As we reflect on a year and head into the midterms, how does 2026 compare to 2025 in terms of overall economic trajectory?
The economy has remained resilient and faces more complicated dynamics. While jobs and activity look solid, costs from tariffs, energy, and inflation are shaping budgets and planning, so the strength is real but not felt uniformly by households.
Promo Insiders Deep Dive: Should We Worry About the US Dollar’s Decline?
Q: So given that, what should businesses keep in mind? Is there anything they should be doing in the back end to kind of manage this, or what could that look like?
Hafezi emphasizes that businesses should focus on inflation management and currency risk hedging, diversify suppliers and currencies, and consider hedging tools to lock in rates for future purchases to stabilize margins.
Promo Insiders Deep Dive: Should We Worry About the US Dollar’s Decline?
Q: Great. Yeah. And you wrote an op-ed for Forbes earlier this year discussing the dollar's slow growth. So this dates back all the way to 1971. Take me back to that moment in history. What was happening here from an economic perspective?
Tamney explains the context of the dollar's move away from gold, the Bretton Woods framework, and the shift to a floating exchange rate, arguing that this transition was driven by inflation, public debt, and economic policy decisions that fundamentally changed how currencies are valued.
Promo Insiders: Isar Meitis on Going From AI Slop to AI Magic
Q: Let's set the table: what's changed with AI in the last couple of years, and where is it headed?
AI has evolved from needing explicit step-by-step instructions to performing tasks with human supervision and context-aware proposals, automating much of the drafting and research process. In the near term, efficient implementation requires education, data governance, and a phased rollout, with a clear focus on high-value use cases and IT infrastructure.
