At Conscious Wealth, we believe wealth includes and is so much more than your financial means. Want to keep up with the markets and other ways to be wealthier?

Andrew Olson joins Brandon Hatton at Conscious Wealth Studios to continue the conversation on the Silver Tsunami and the $15 trillion of privately held businesses owned by baby boomers. They begin with a simple question. Is that number real? For many founders, the value of their company does not feel like part of their net worth. The business may be worth millions on paper, yet that value remains illiquid until a transaction occurs. Brandon and Andrew discuss how retirement looks different for entrepreneurs whose wealth is concentrated in a single asset. Many business owners have 80 to 90 percent of their net worth tied up in their company, which means retirement depends on successfully converting that value into liquidity.

In this conversation, Brandon and JP unpack why weak job numbers, rising inflation, and political uncertainty can still push stocks higher. The answer often lies in what the Federal Reserve is expected to do next. With the Fed’s September meeting around the corner, markets are betting on a rate cut and that shift in monetary policy has ripple effects across valuations, business growth, and even mortgage rates.

Are We Building the Future — or Inflating Another Bubble? In this Conscious Wealth Studios conversation, Brandon and JP unpack whether AI is truly that breakthrough or simply the next bubble waiting to pop. They explore what history can teach us — from tulips to telecoms — and how today’s AI boom is reshaping markets, redirecting capital, and testing the limits of innovation. Some of the biggest companies in the world are pouring billions into chips and data centers, but the question remains: will this build lasting value, or will it all deflate when expectations outpace reality? As always, they bring it back to what matters most: managing risk with clarity, understanding where we are in the cycle, and staying grounded in the face of hype.
