The Real State of the U.S. Economy: What the Data Actually Says

In this episode of The Growth Playbook, Kim Clark and economist Alan Beaulieu break down the current state of the U.S. economy and separate economic reality from the headlines. With so much noise in the news, they walk through the data to explain what is actually happening with GDP growth, inflation, interest rates, and business profitability. While the latest GDP numbers show the economy growing at 1.4%, that growth is far from the “hot economy” often described in the media. At the same time, inflation hasn’t disappeared — it has simply slowed, a condition economists call disinflation. They also explore how rising costs, global instability, and energy prices may continue to put pressure on businesses and consumers — and why business leaders should prepare for continued inflation and potentially higher interest rates later this year. In this episode, you’ll learn: • What the latest GDP data really tells us about economic growth • Why inflation hasn’t truly gone away • How global events and energy prices influence the economy • Why many businesses can still remain profitable despite economic pressure • Strategic mindsets business owners should adopt heading into 2026 The key takeaway: while the economy may feel uncertain, history shows that businesses that adapt, focus on profitable work, and manage cash strategically can still thrive.
