Financial crises create panic. Long-term thinkers create stability.

In this episode of Make Your Wealth Work, Jason K. Powers and Joe Pantozzi sit down with Dr. Paul Mueller, Senior Research Fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research and author of 10 Years Later: Why the Conventional Wisdom About the 2008 Financial Crisis Is Still Wrong.

The conversation begins with the 2008 financial crisis, but quickly expands into a broader discussion about economic uncertainty, interest rates, regulation, and the unintended consequences of policy decisions.

More importantly, this episode explores how individuals should respond.

Dr. Mueller discusses how fear-driven headlines distort perspective, why interest rates and inflation matter more than most people realize, and how disciplined capital formation protects families during volatile times.

Jason and Joe connect these big-picture lessons back to personal strategy:

1. Why patience beats panic
2. The danger of lifestyle inflation
3. The importance of capital and liquidity
4. Why long-term thinking creates freedom
5. And how controlling the banking function in your life provides stability

In uncertain times, reacting emotionally is easy. Thinking long-range is powerful.
