Everyone is focused on today's AI boom—but according to Brett Rentmeester, the biggest investment opportunities may still be ahead.

In this conversation with Maggie Lake, Brett explains why investors are underestimating AI's next phase, from agentic AI and autonomous software to physical AI, including robots, autonomous vehicles, and intelligent machines. He also explores what these developments could mean for data centers, energy demand, semiconductor companies, and the long-term investment landscape.

If the first wave of AI was ChatGPT, Brett argues the next waves could be significantly larger—and many investors aren't positioned for them yet

For decades, investors have benefited from the belief that U.S. markets would continue to outperform the rest of the world. But as AI fuels an increasingly concentrated stock market, are investors taking on far more risk than they realize?

In this conversation, Wealthion CEO Steven Feldman explains why today's S&P 500 may not be as diversified as many believe, how AI has transformed the market into a highly correlated bet, and why scarce real assets—including gold, infrastructure, farmland, and other hard assets—can play an important role in building a resilient portfolio.

This interview was released alongside Steven Feldman's latest "The American Exception" series, where he takes a deeper look at the forces driving U.S. market dominance, the risks beneath the surface, and what investors should be watching next.

Wall Street has spent years warning about a recession, weak consumer spending, and an inevitable stock market correction. But what if the data tells a completely different story?

In this interview, Chris Galipeau, Head Market Strategist at Franklin Templeton, joins Maggie Lake to explain why the U.S. economy remains far more resilient than many investors believe. He shares why corporate earnings continue to surprise to the upside, why the U.S. consumer is still driving economic growth, and why today's bearish narrative doesn't align with what's happening beneath the surface.

Chris also breaks down why AI may become a productivity boom rather than a job killer, where he sees the biggest investment opportunities beyond the Magnificent Seven, why small-cap stocks could outperform, and the one Federal Reserve policy mistake that could threaten the current bull market.

Topics discussed:

-Why recession fears keep missing the mark
-The real outlook for the U.S. economy
-Stock market outlook for 2026
-AI investing and corporate productivity
-Why earnings matter more than politics or geopolitics
-Small-cap stocks vs. the Magnificent Seven
-Federal Reserve policy and inflation risks
=Where investors should be looking next

Whether you're investing for retirement, managing a portfolio, or trying to understand where markets go from here, this conversation offers a data-driven perspective on the economy, stocks, AI, and long-term investing.💡 Chris Galipeau says strong earnings, broadening market leadership, and disciplined investing—not headlines—drive long-term returns.
