Influencers vs. Mainstream Media: The Future of News and Tackling the US Debt Crisis | Weekly Business Briefs w/ Martin Perdomo

Send us a text Is mainstream media on the brink of obsolescence as influencers take over the news cycle? Discover how a new wave of digital influencers on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X are redefining where people get their news and shaping political opinions. We dissect findings from a compelling Pew study that highlights the staggering influence these creators wield, despite overwhelmingly lacking formal news experience. With traditional media outlets scrambling to adapt, we examine what this shift means for the future of journalism and the implications for your business, political opinions, and personal growth trajectory. Shifting gears, we tackle the daunting US national debt crisis and explore innovative strategies to sidestep economic disaster while maintaining growth. Uncover how extending the Trump tax cuts could accelerate debt to unsustainable levels, and why traditional borrowing might not be the villain it seems. We introduce a forward-thinking approach—a destination-based cash flow tax—that promises to boost revenue without the sting of tariffs. This episode offers insights into the potential economic shifts on the horizon and discusses how these changes could create new opportunities for investment and wealth-building, aligning with the core values of our podcast.
