In this episode, we will talk about the Fed, inflation, and discuss
how we are headed for a pasta-bowl recession. We focus the rest of
the episode on the state of Florida and potential headwinds to
growth such as rising housing costs, supply chain shortages, labor
market shortages, and high overall inflation. Last, we discuss ways
the state of Florida (and particularly Central Florida) can best
position itself for future growth.
