Episode notes

Welcome to the 9Innings Podcast where we Educate, Empower and Engage.

ON THIS WEEKS PODCAST: In this episode of the 9innings Podcast, Kevin sits down with Lindsay Bell, founder of 248 Ventures, for a wide ranging conversation on markets and the economy.

Lindsay walks through her path from working alongside Jim Cramer to becoming a CNBC contributor and independent strategist.

They dig into the disconnect between physical oil and futures markets, the growing divide between AI driven growth and traditional industries, and the continued bifurcation in consumer spending. The conversation also touches on housing pressures, persistent inflation, and what it takes to navigate a male dominated financial media landscape.

Lindsay closes with cautious optimism on the economy, while making one thing clear… the speed of AI disruption, especially to the workforce, is what should have everyone paying attention.
