What actually drives economic growth, and why do so many policies seem to do the opposite?
In this episode, John and Alex Soutsos sit down with Tim Doescher, Executive Director at Unleash Prosperity, to challenge how most people think about taxes, government spending, and the real engine behind prosperity. They unpack the fundamentals of supply-side economics and how policy decisions shape real-world outcomes for businesses, investors, and everyday families.
Together, they break down what supply-side economics actually means in plain terms, and why reducing barriers like taxes and regulation can lead to greater investment, hiring, and overall economic growth. They also explore real-world examples, including migration trends between states, the impact of rising minimum wages, and how incentives, not intentions, ultimately drive behavior.
This episode is about more than theory. It’s about understanding the forces shaping the economic environment you’re operating in, and why those forces matter for your long-term financial plan.
