The Growth Imperative: Industries, Innovation, and Wealth in a Changing Economy
Date: December 16, 2025
Time: 11:45 am MT
Tuesday, December 16, 2025
The U.S. economy has weathered challenges in 2025—defying tariffs, rate hikes, and employment headwinds. AI-driven investment is surging, markets are climbing, and optimism is in the air. But here’s the real question: Is this the start of a new era of growth—or just a temporary high?
We’ll explore:
- Which industries and technologies could define the next wave of economic expansion
- How public policy could accelerate—or derail—growth and the uncertainties standing in the way
- How you could position your wealth for protection and growth with either outcome
