Chef Shuai Wang was the runner-up on the 22nd season of Bravo’s Top Chef and is the force behind two standout restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina—Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ—where he brings together the flavors of his childhood in Beijing and the spirit of the South in some pretty unforgettable ways. He grew up just a short walk from Tiananmen Square, in a tiny home with no electricity or running water, where his grandmother often cooked over charcoal. Later, in Queens, New York, his mom taught herself to cook—her first dishes were a little salty, but they were always made with love. And somewhere along the way, Shuai learned that cooking wasn’t just about food—it was about taking care of people. After years working in New York kitchens, he made his way to Charleston and started building something that feels entirely his own. Today, we’re talking about how all those experiences come together on the plate, the family stories behind his cooking, and what it’s been like to share that journey on national TV.

Tariffs, Egg Prices, and Your Financial Future - EP. 169 50:33

منذ 9 weeks50:33

50:33

In this episode, Travis and Steve delve into the complexities of tariffs, egg prices, and the broader implications for financial futures. They challenge common narratives surrounding these topics, emphasizing the importance of understanding the underlying factors affecting prices and regulations. The conversation highlights the role of supply issues, regulatory policies, and the misconceptions surrounding tariffs, ultimately advocating for a more informed perspective on economic issues. One key is Travis stating, "Awareness of the media agendas is essential for clarity and olitical conversations should be rooted in intelligence, not vitriol." They explore how tariffs serve as a mechanism for realigning competitive balance and discuss the importance of supporting local economies. The conversation also touches on investment strategies in a changing market and the broader implications of U.S. economic policies on global relations. Key Takeaways Egg prices are high due to supply issues, not tariffs. Panic buying during crises can exacerbate price increases. Regulatory policies often dictate agricultural practices. Tariffs are a common tool used by many countries. The U.S. is not unique in its use of tariffs. Free trade, as commonly understood, does not exist. Understanding tariffs is crucial for informed financial decisions. There are opportunities in economic downturns. Emotional responses to economic news can cloud judgment. Sleeping on an issue can provide clarity and reduce emotional reactions. Tariffs are often misunderstood; they are not a direct tax on consumers. Local economies benefit when consumers prioritize local products. Investment strategies should consider the shifting dynamics of global trade. The U.S. economy is a significant player in the global market. Understanding tariffs can help consumers make informed choices. Consumer behavior is influenced by pricing and product quality. Economic policies can create opportunities for local businesses. _________________________________________ 🅿️ For more DTS content check out our Patreon Thanks to our sponsor, S.E.E.D.

Today, we're diving deep into the nitty-gritty of what makes a financial planner the "real deal." Our special series guest, Jeff Chase, VP of Financial Planning and Senior Wealth Manager at S.E.E.D. Planning Group is back with us, and together we're about to drop some insights that’ll help you see through all the shiny sales pitches out there. We’re breaking down the art of financial planning and why it’s not just about throwing money at investments and calling it a day. Instead, it’s about crafting a tailored strategy that considers everything from taxes to healthcare, ensuring your financial future isn’t left to chance. If you’re tired of cookie-cutter advice and pushy sales professionals and want to understand how to get the most out of your money, stick around because this episode is packed with insights that could change your financial game! Takeaways: In financial planning, knowing your goals is key; without it, you're just guessing. A solid financial plan should dictate your investments, not the other way around, folks. Meeting with clients regularly is essential; it's not just about selling products, it's about relationships. Solo practitioners in finance face unique risks, so having a team can be a game changer for clients. Understanding risk is crucial; sometimes being conservative can protect you better than chasing high returns. Navigating the world of financial products requires a keen eye to avoid unnecessary fees and pitfalls. About Jeff Jeff is the Senior Vice President of Financial Planning at S.E.E.D.

Our special guest, Jeff Chase, Senior Vice President of Financial Planning at S.E.E.D. Planning Group, is back! In this episode, we're diving deep into financial planning and exposing financial advisors and professionals who might be more about sales than sound advice. We'll break down how to distinguish experienced, qualified financial planners from those who are just in it for the commission—because when it comes to your financial future, you deserve a true professional, not just a salesperson. We discuss how to find someone who’s not only got your back but also understands the game, helping you make sound decisions for your future. It's your money and life! Takeaways: Navigating the financial world can feel like a treasure hunt with no map; we need to be wise and cautious about who we trust with our cash. A good financial advisor isn't just selling you products; they should be helping you level up in life and finances, like your personal finance Yoda. Don't let financial jargon trip you up; understanding your own money situation is more important than ever in this complicated world. The key to financial planning is more than just numbers; it's about helping clients prioritize their goals and navigate life's financial rollercoaster with empathy.
