    94. It’s in the Name – Investing Jargon That Actually Makes Sense (Replay)
    Jun 20 2025
    Sometimes, the smartest move you can make is going back to the basics. After 33 episodes of learning this language, I realized something: investing terms aren’t just jargon—they’re building blocks. Terms compound, just like your money should!And when you understand them in the right order, everything clicks. That’s why we’re replaying this episode. Jess walks me through essential concepts like capital, stocks, IPOs, mutual funds, ETFs, market cap, dividends, and more, layered in a way that makes the market make actual sense. Whether you're just starting out or need a refresher, this episode is proof that financial literacy isn’t complicated when it's explained clearly. And yes, most of it really is in the name.------------------------------------------------🌟 Send a question, leave a review, subscribe, follow & share!✨⁠⁠⁠Support the show⁠⁠⁠💰🔗All Market MakeHer Links: ​​⁠⁠https://bio.site/marketmakeHER⁠⁠ 🔗 ⁠⁠⁠Market MakeHer ⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Subscribe to our Newsletter ⁠⁠ Sponsorship Inquiries: ⁠⁠jessica@marketmakeherpodcast.com⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marketmakeherpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marketmakeher⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠FB Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👀 Watch us in action on our⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👀✨ Follow Jess Inskip on⁠⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ ✨✨ Follow Jessie DeNuit on⁠⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ ✨ **Beware of imposters!

  • 93. Fed Deep Dive, Part 4: The Price of a Political Fed and the Volcker Wake-Up Call

    93. Fed Deep Dive, Part 4: The Price of a Political Fed and the Volcker Wake-Up Call
    Jun 13 2025
    This is the era where the Fed found its backbone...and yeah, it was messy.We start with how the Fed pegged interest rates during World War II to keep government borrowing cheap, which meant it couldn’t raise rates, even as inflation hit 20% in 1947. Yeah… not ideal. That moment of tension led to the 1951 Treasury-Fed Accord, where the Fed basically said, “We need boundaries.” And just like that, monetary policy and politics went on a much-needed break.But the real story relevant to today? The 1970s. Enter: stagflation... a nightmare mix of high inflation and high unemployment. And then comes Paul Volcker, the Fed Chair who didn’t just adjust rates, he detonated them. He ditched the traditional playbook and targeted the money supply instead of interest rates, sending borrowing costs through the roof to crush inflation expectations. Two back-to-back recessions followed… but inflation finally came down. And the Fed? It got its credibility back.It was controversial, painful, and totally necessary. And now, with inflation heating up again, you can see why Papa Powell idolizes Volcker, because price stability isn’t just one goal. It’s the foundation for everything else.So if you’ve ever wondered why the Fed is allergic to political pressure, why it fights inflation so hard, or why mortgage rates are making you cry, this episode explains exactly how we got here.The big takeaway? ✨ The Fed learned that price stability is the foundation of everything else: jobs, growth, and economic confidence. ✨ And history shows us what happens when the Fed’s priorities get steered by politics instead of policy.------------------------------------------------🌟 Send a question, leave a review, subscribe, follow & share!✨⁠⁠Support the show⁠⁠💰🔗All Market MakeHer Links: ​​⁠https://bio.site/marketmakeHER⁠ 🔗 ⁠⁠Market MakeHer ⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Subscribe to our Newsletter ⁠ Sponsorship Inquiries: ⁠jessica@marketmakeherpodcast.com⁠ Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marketmakeherpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marketmakeher⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠FB Community⁠⁠⁠⁠👀 Watch us in action on our⁠⁠ ⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👀✨ Follow Jess Inskip on⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ✨✨ Follow Jessie DeNuit on⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ✨ **Beware of imposters!

  • 92. Fed Deep Dive, Part 3: The Fed’s Origin Story—from Reaction to Responsibility

    92. Fed Deep Dive, Part 3: The Fed’s Origin Story—from Reaction to Responsibility
    Jun 6 2025
    Before the Fed existed, J.P. Morgan literally had to bail out the banking system. That’s when the U.S. realized depending on wealthy individuals to prevent financial collapse wasn’t sustainable—and the Federal Reserve was born.In this episode, I (Jessie!) try to wrap my head around how the Fed went from an emergency backstop in 1913 to one of the most powerful institutions in the world. Jess helps me trace the Fed’s messy glow-up: from freezing during the Great Depression to gaining real tools and some independence after World War II.Here’s what we learned:The Fed wasn’t created to run the economy—it was just supposed to stop bank panics.It failed hard in the 1930s, so Congress gave it more power and structure.During WWII, it worked closely with the Treasury, but inflation forced a breakup in 1951. That split gave us the independent Fed we have today—aka the one that’s not supposed to take political orders.It turns out, Fed independence isn’t just some finance nerd hill to die on—it’s what helps protect the entire economy from political chaos.If you’re like me and thought, “Wait, the Fed didn’t always manage the economy?”—this episode is for you. And yes, we’ve got more Fed deep dives coming. Because wow… there’s a lot more to unpack.------------------------------------------------🌟 Send a question, leave a review, subscribe, follow & share!✨⁠⁠Support the show⁠⁠💰🔗All Market MakeHer Links: ​​⁠https://bio.site/marketmakeHER⁠ 🔗 ⁠⁠Market MakeHer ⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Subscribe to our Newsletter ⁠ Sponsorship Inquiries: ⁠jessica@marketmakeherpodcast.com⁠ Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marketmakeherpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marketmakeher⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠FB Community⁠⁠⁠⁠👀 Watch us in action on our⁠⁠ ⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👀✨ Follow Jess Inskip on⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ✨✨ Follow Jessie DeNuit on⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ✨ **Beware of imposters!
