54. AI Is Creating a Problem the Fed Can’t Fix (Oct 2026 Interest Rate Update)
Interest rates keep climbing higher. But the real culprit isn’t the Federal Reserve, the White House, the Iran War, or anything else that probably comes to mind. It’s AI. The truth is that the recent AI boom has impacted the economy in more ways than one. Because the government is now competing with hyperscaling AI companies for the same pool of bond investors, it’s forced to increase yields. Meanwhile, AI is driving massive stock market gains. The problem is, those gains are highly concentrated, so most people aren’t feeling the positive effects. AI is responsible for over half of Q1 2026 gross domestic product (GDP) growth. Without it, the Fed might be able to have a conversation about lowering rates. But that’s an entirely different economy and reality than the one we’re living in. The Fed’s hands are tied. Today, I break down why this creates a “lopsided” economy, who’s actually benefiting from the AI boom, and why lower rates may require something no one wants: another recession. Insights from today’s episode: Why the Federal Reserve currently has no option but to raise rates The real impact of AI “hyperscaling” on the US economy Why the US government and “Big Tech” are fighting for the same investors Two things that would need to happen before interest rates decline What the economy would look like without AI driving more than half of GDP growth

53. Boomers Are About to Sell Everything (There Aren’t Enough Buyers)
A generational wealth transfer is unfolding now—but it’s not what you think. Baby boomers aren’t simply handing away all their wealth or spending it on assisted living, medical care, or vacations. Instead, for a savvy few, the $90 trillion baby boomer wealth transfer will be unlocked, even if you don’t have wealthy parents. Because here’s the truth—the baby boomers have to sell everything. Over the next ten years, tens of millions of baby boomers will pass away. Many of them own businesses, real estate, or assets their heirs do not want, or don’t have any heirs at all. What happens when Generation X or millennials are given mom and dad’s house while struggling to pay off their student loans, car debt, and keep their own family afloat? Simple: they sell. What happens when mom and dad try to hand down the family business, but every family member refuses to take it over? It either gets sold or stops functioning. So who will be there to buy the assets? There are more sellers than buyers, meaning you have the opportunity to pick up businesses, real estate, and other assets at a fraction of what they’d cost just a decade or so ago. Do you take the chance and claim your own version of the great wealth transfer, or do you ignore the opportunity and wish that you did a decade from now? Insights from today’s episode: The baby boomer wealth transfer that will force them to sell trillions in assets Why cash-flowing baby boomer businesses are far cheaper to buy than you think What happens when tens of millions of boomers pass away over the next decade? How the real estate market could be “flooded” with inventory as heirs opt to sell Why millennials are way off on the “inheritance” they think they’re owed — Sign Up for my Newsletter!

52. How to Buy a Cash-Flowing Small Business with Very Little Out of Pocket
How much money do you really need to buy a business? Far less than you probably think. Over six million small businesses will change hands by 2035, as baby boomers look to part with their mom-and-pop operations. This is your opportunity. These businesses aren’t trading for tens of millions, or even millions of dollars. In fact, most of them cost less than the median price of a single-family home, and the amount you have to put down to acquire them is often a small fraction of the purchase price. Today, I’m sharing the three-layer financing structure that could help you buy a high-quality small business with very little money out of pocket. But the opportunity goes far beyond financing. These are great assets with enormous upside because they’re already profitable, and yet, they can be improved for even more revenue. The key to owning one of these assets isn’t being an expert in that industry or having access to a ton of capital. It’s simply knowing how to structure one of these deals, and that’s exactly what I’m going to show you how to do. Insights from today’s episode: How much it actually costs to buy an existing small business Why the down payment needed for a small business is usually less than you think The three-layer structure for financing a small business Why over six million small businesses will change hands by 2035 Value-add opportunities that could add thousands to your business’s bottom line — BizBuySell Insight Report - https://www.bizbuysell.com/insight-report/ M&A Seller Financing: A Complete Guide - https://morganandwestfield.com/knowledge/ma-seller-financing-a-complete-guide/ Sign Up for My Newsletter Here: https://ajosborne.com/newsletter?el=pc-ajo-ep52

51. Millennials Are Becoming the New Boomers (Unless They Change Now)
Millennials are quickly becoming the new baby boomers. They’re falling for a trap that caught the boomer generation at the turn of the century, but most Millennials have no idea. Unless they change their ways now, many Millennials may end up jobless, economically helpless, and angry at a future they themselves are actively creating. Before you get upset with me, let me explain. A new report from Microsoft is showing that AI is overhauling the system as we know it. Structures are changing from the bottom up, new businesses and ideas are being formed that were impossible just a couple of years ago, and it’s not an “if” AI impacts your life and work, but a “when” type of question. Millennials are scared. They don’t want their jobs to be displaced or terminated entirely, and just like the baby boomers during the age of the internet, there’s a lot of fear for the future. But what comes next? Can we learn from the boomers' mistakes so we can take full advantage of an inevitable change, instead of clinging to a structure that has been broken by new technology? This is your last chance, or you'll face the same fate as many of the boomers. Insights from today’s episode: Why millennials are becoming the new baby boomers unless they start adapting ASAP Microsoft’s new Work Trend Report that shows how work structures are dramatically changing The boom of new small businesses and how AI is enabling Americans to do what they could never before Your job may not be around in a few years (but here’s how to get a better one) The new “system” and how work will be done in the AI age (protected roles) — Microsoft 2026 Work Trend Index Annual Report - https://news.microsoft.com/annual-work-trend-index-2026/ Sign Up for my Newsletter!

50. The Baby Boomer Inheritance Anyone Can Get In On (Even You)
The wealth-building opportunity of a generation ends in 2035. Smart money (Wall Street and private equity firms) is already taking advantage. Most Americans either don’t know about it or think they can’t share in the profits. This couldn’t be more wrong. If you hesitate over the next decade and don’t take advantage of the unparalleled opportunity to come, you, like many Americans, may stand to regret it. I took advantage of opportunities like this in 2008 when everyone thought I was crazy. Fast forward nearly two decades, and we have $400M in assets to show for it. Everyone thinks the Baby Boomers are only leaving behind a massive inheritance to their children, spending it on medical care, or splurging on travel and leisure—not quite. 60% of boomer businesses—boring businesses like HVAC, plumbing, drywall, and electrical businesses—have zero succession plan. Their kids aren’t inheriting them—they will merely stop functioning. What if you could buy that business (for cheaper than you think) and use it to produce income for decades to come? I’m buying these businesses right now. And today, I’m showing you how to, too. Insights from today’s episode: The wealth-building opportunity of a generation (and why we only have so much time left) Baby Boomer businesses for sale that cost less than a house but generate high income Proof that “smart money” is putting billions of dollars into “boring businesses” many overlook How to buy a business for cheap, improve it, and make it worth multiples more Moving yourself from “income” to “owner” class in the American economy — How to Invest with Just $10 (Fractional Investing Explained) - https://youtu.be/eTDCbHXfwmI?si=_SxeA5lMo5DnAIwO ✍️ Sign Up for my Newsletter!

49. We Tripled Our Revenue (In Months) by Changing This ONE Thing About Our Business
Every business is trying to solve the same equation: Find leads. Make them customers. Repeat. Yet many businesses, if not most, get it all wrong. It’s not because they have a product problem, personnel problem, or even a lead problem. Most of the time, it’s a conversion problem. They crank up their ad spend and chase more traffic without patching the leaks in their funnel. The result? Shrinking margins. The good news is that this is fixable. AJ and George have scaled businesses across multiple industries, adding hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue, simply by optimizing their marketing strategy. We’re sharing real case studies of businesses we’ve been able to turn around in a matter of months. More importantly, we’ll show you how to replicate these results—not by overhauling your product or reinventing your business model—but by simply building a marketing “machine” that actually works. Whether you’re buying your first business or scaling your tenth, these fundamental marketing principles are often the difference between a struggling business that’s scraping by and one that turns a massive profit year after year. Insights from today’s episode: The number one issue that plagues most struggling businesses today Real case studies where we were able to increase revenue (in months) How to optimize each stage of your business’s sales funnel The two main reasons potential customers drop out of your funnel When to use direct and indirect marketing within your business Join us for a free webinar where we break it all down step by step.

48. A “Wave” of Small Businesses Is Changing Hands (They Cost Less Than You Think)
People think owning or buying a business is just for the wealthy. For the visionaries with the revolutionary ideas. For the entrepreneurs whose startups beat the odds. But they’re wrong. Over 17 million businesses will change hands in the next several years. As the baby boomer generation ages out, some of these businesses will close their doors. Some will stay within the family. But most of them? They’ll be sold. To whom? Maybe you. You don’t need millions of dollars to buy them. In fact, many of these small businesses cost less than the median price of a single-family home. Serial business-buyer Tim Delaney found this out when he stumbled on a local wine and liquor store 13 years ago. He bought it with just $35,000 down, and that investment gave him a reliable cash flow stream, provided for his family, and made the next venture that much easier. And buying an established business isn’t nearly as risky as you probably think. Tim shares the green and red flags to look for when analyzing a small business, the different levers you can pull to fund one, and the value-add playbook that can turn any mom-and-pop operation into a staple of your community. Insights from today’s episode: Why 17 million businesses are changing hands right now (and how to buy one) How Tim bought his first small business with just $35,000 Why buying an existing business isn’t nearly as risky as you think Three ways to fund a business acquisition with low money down The biggest red (and green) flags to watch for when analyzing a business Sign Up for My Newsletter Here: https://ajosborne.com/newsletter?el=pc-ajo-ep48 Connect with Tim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timtdelaney/ Are You Ready to Buy a Business?

47. She Predicted a Depression in 2030. Now She’s Doubling Down. w/Economist Lauren Saidel-Baker
The next great depression is closer than you think. For years, Lauren Saidel-Baker, economist at ITR Economics, has predicted an almost unavoidable economic depression, specifically for the United States. We last spoke to her about this in January 2025, and now she’s back—but this time, she’s even more convinced of our path to the 2030s great depression. Major signals are keeping us from swerving this colossal event. The Fed is trapped—lowering rates to save our government budget could trigger inflation, again. Social problems are growing—the wealth gap is widening, and those at the bottom can barely afford necessities. And the final linchpin—an aging baby boomer population that will take massive amounts of resources, without giving much in return. We’ve seen problems like this occur in other countries—France and Japan, to name a couple—but nothing on the size of the American economy. So what’s coming next? Are we back to a 2008-style market selloff where asset prices tank? Can AI step in to save us from some of these dangers that a younger workforce can’t solve, and who wins and loses when the shoe drops? Insights from today’s episode: The road to the next great depression: Why 2030 looks like it’s unavoidable The “linchpin” that could set off the domino effect and massively change the economy How to win in the next great depression and what to do to start preparing now The Fed’s “trap” and how they’ll lose control of the economy Why Lauren thinks many people are wrong about AI (and what effect it will really have) __________ ITR Economics: https://hubs.la/Q04h6kdc0 Check out Lauren's previous podcast episode!-https://www.ajosborne.com/podcasts/aj-osborne-podcast/episodes/2148970950 Sign Up for My Newsletter Here: https://ajosborne.com/newsletter
