The Economy
In this section, I discuss the issues and forces currently impacting your wallet. From debunking political myths surrounding tariffs and national spending to analyzing how landmark Supreme Court decisions filter down to the average consumer. These videos provide the “big picture” context you won’t find on the evening news.
I focus on the issues that matter to you most and are fundamentally reshaping the U.S. economy in 2026.

Retail News
The retail sector is often the “canary in the coal mine” for a broader bankruptcy explosion. Here, I track high-profile retail crises and corporate defaults to explain what they mean for the economy at large.
By analyzing why major brands like Saks Fifth Avenue have filed for bankruptcy, as we witnessed a substantial surge in corporate bankruptcies last year, I provide a preview of the financial trends that eventually affect consumer credit, employment, and the availability of goods.

Family Law
Legal “bullyism” is nowhere more prevalent than in family court. This section features videos that cut through the emotional noise of divorce, child support, and custody battles to focus on the cold, hard facts of the law.
I discuss the most common misconceptions, such as whether you’ll lose the house in a divorce, to ensure you are making decisions based on legal reality rather than intimidation or fear.

Debtor and Creditor Law
This is the core of financial recovery. In this section, I explore the specific mechanics of debt relief, including the Chapter 7 guide 2026, and Chapter 13. These videos provide practical, step-by-step insights into dealing with aggressive creditors, understanding the means test, and utilizing federal bankruptcy law as a strategic tool for a permanent financial reset and a fresh start.
