Episode Description from the Publisher

Episode 268: What shape is the economy? Today, Dylan and Hanna break down the alphabet soup of economic narratives – from the K-shaped economy to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s new addition to the mix: the C-shaped economy. Then, as NFL season kicks off, we look at private equity’s growing role in the league and why investment firms are so interested in owning a piece of America’s sports franchises. Finally, John wraps up the week with a game of “Overheard on Earnings,” as Dylan and Hanna try to match the quote to the company executive.
