Investing When It Hurts: How to Win in a Bad Economy

When the economy is in a downturn, defense is played by everyone. But in this episode, we break down how smart investors go on offense: buying when prices dip, searching for bargain sectors, and loading up on inexpensive assets. We talk about real-life examples like how consumer staples, defense stocks, and dividend plays become safe havens every time the market goes red.

We also dive into how to mentally and financially prepare to invest during downturns. That means building conviction when headlines are screaming panic, learning how to tune out the noise, and knowing what signals really spell opportunity. Whether it's tracking unemployment numbers or insider buying, this episode will teach you to see fear as a green light.

Finally, though not least, we talk about safety—not hoarding your money, but making a recession-proof setup. Emergency funds, multiple income streams, and bargaining power do matter. The goal isn't just to get through a downturn, but to use it to grow faster than everyone else around you.
