Bracing for a Brave New World
A K-shaped economy, capacity crunch in trucking, and policy-driven markets define this brave new world. Here’s what’s rising and what’s breaking.

Finding Zen on the Way Up the Mountain
As labor weakens and AI hype frays, we trace the cracks and end with Buffett’s reminder that America still climbs higher over time.
Between Fear and Forward Motion
When fear spreads, everything else seems to contract with it. Anaïs Nin captured that truth simply: “Life shrinks or expands in proportion with one’s courage.” The headlines are full of contraction in the form of layoffs, credit losses, and spending fatigue. And courage often decides what happens next: retreat or reinvention.
Growth Without Gravity
Marcus Aurelius once asked: “What are you so afraid of losing when nothing in this world belongs to you?”

Every boom-and-bust cycle plays out like a myth. The same Hero’s Journey on repeat, with new characters and a familiar ending. Markets love to tell us we’re living through something new. Tulips in 1637, dot-coms in 2000, AI in 2025…the costumes change, but the script stays the same.
