In this episode of Consider the Source, Sarah sits down with economist Guyesha Blackshear (@thejunioreconomist) for a conversation that feels both eye-opening and approachable. Together they explore the striking parallels between the Roman Empire and today’s U.S. economy, unpack what the national debt really means, and share practical ways to prepare for a potential recession. The discussion doesn’t stop there—Sarah and Guyesha also dive into the big forces shaping our future, from climate change to the rapid rise of AI. It’s a thoughtful yet down-to-earth episode that leaves listeners seeing the world a little differently.
